Depth Charge Shake mod released

[nvdrifter]

I just wanted to make a quick topic in this forum (in case no one here saw the other thread) to let everyone know I have made a mod that shakes the boat when being depth charged.



Depth Charge Shake v1.01 (for use with GWX)

Hello fellow SH3 players. Has it ever bothered you that when you are are being depth charged or bombed in SH3, the close falling charges or bombs never seem to shake your u-boat? Well, it has always bothered me. That gentle rocking back and forth when being blasted with depth charges just doesn't convince me of the immense danger outside of my iron tube. This mod was released to deal with that missing feature. With Depth Charge Shake v1.01, your u-boat will shake from nearby exploding depth charges... I mean REALLY shake. ;) If the charge or bomb explodes fairly close to your u-boat, it will shake violently. This does not automatically mean that your u-boat is taking damage, but there is a good chance that it is. Farther away depth charges may only slightly shake the u-boat or not at all. I feel this mod realistically models nearby explosion shock waves striking the u-boat and extreme compartment vibrations/ shaking .

Hopefully now you will feel like your u-boat is taking damage, and the big question... "How much longer can she hold together?". I hope Depth Charge Shake v1.01 will immerse you even more into SH3. Turn up your speaker volume and hold onto something tight!

I used to like the way the screen shook in Aces of the Deep! :)

[MRV]

This ROCKS! literally......

That mod just suits perfect with the nervous looks of the crew keeping their hands tight on solid objects.

[Jimbuna]

This sounds interesting...I'll check this out :hmm:

Nice, played with this on last night. Great work.

[Turkina]

Nice,great work.

[Morts]

Yay!!!im gonna have to try this
now all i need is something to make navigating a little bit harder

[Vikinger]

Nice mod and i tryed it yesterday.

But it shaked to much for my liking :)

I had hard time to press correct button while i had 10 wasserbombs exploding near me.
Sometimes the screen seamed to nearly flip over and be shown upside down.

I would like to ask if you can make a LIT version of this mod? I would prefer it to be tunded down for about 60%. Then you have a LIT version for thos that can easily be emotion sick and this one that i will say are for "hardcore" playing :)

Note also that i have changed the waves to be much bigger in game and that affect the shake even in calm weather.

It also shaked a lot when i fired a torpedo or was hit from AA guns.

Sorry for the critiscm but i do like your mod and the work you have done into it but it was just a bit to shaky for my liking :)

Hehe well the Vikings was most of the time so darn drunk so when they sailed in rough weather the effect of the alcohol equalized the rough weather so they allways thought they sailed in calm weather :)

[stabiz]

So THATS why I didnt notice the shaking in this mod!

[Morts]

hahaha, well it doesnt seem like they where drunk when they slaughtered the enemy.....or did it make them more effective killing machine because they got pissed faster and didn really think through what they where doing :hmm:

It doesn't seem to work? I used the generic mod enabler. Should I roll back sh commander first before enabling it? Please help, I'd really like to use this for some fun.

[Vikinger]

What version did you download?

If you downloaded the latest version 1.03 then you have to open the folder/map then whitin that there is 3 other maps/folders. Weaker, medium and stronger depth charge. Choose the one you prefer and copy it to the mod folder. then you can enable it whit jsgme.

Yes. Any time you modify, add or remove mods, you must rollback Commander first and while you're in base as well.

[Jazer]

I have version 1.02

[Jazer]

I have to be in base as well for it to take effect?

[Vikinger]

I could enable it whitout any problem during a patrol and i didint have to roll back commander either. But iam using version 1.03 and the weaker mod.

I dunno what problem you have. but check the installation path.
Look up where the mod is installed like SH3/mod/Depth charge shake/ folder.

then whitin that check the shake mod folder. it should look something like this:

Deepth charge shake V1.02/data/,,,,,,,,

If it looks like this then it shouldnt be any problem to install it.

[Jazer]

where can I get version1.03?

[Vikinger]

where can I get version1.03?

Check the first post in this thread.
He have updated it whit a link stating:

"Get the latest version,,,," :)

[Cap.Palla]

FROM the README of 1.03 :

If you really don't want to lose the side to side surface rolling action, then you can delete the submarine folder in Depth Charge Shake v1.03 before installing. But if you decide to do this, please be aware that the interior cameras may act strange when the heavy side to side rolling motion starts.

I'd like to don't lose the side to side surface roll but can you please explain me what kind of strange effect camera have i to expect? :hmm:

I deleted the folder and iam using the weaker version. And after 2 patrols now i havent seen any side effects of it. My rolling in water works just as normal and no side effect of camera have been noticed.
