IMPROVED BOW WAVE KIT 1.0
MADE BY CAPTAIN COX

This mod improves the visual graphics of the
front bow wave and also the rear screws water jet.

I tweaked the lightness/darkness and also made the water particles look smaller,
more spray like as i thought the stock was to white and also to heavy looking.

PS @Beery, I could tweak it even darker if you want, but this is a more run of the mill release.

STOCK

Comes in four different variations as i am sure some people will
like one more then the other.

- IMPROVED BOW WAVE NORMAL

As these are animated textures its not easy to capture in pictures, I recommend to check in game for a better impression!

This is meant to be the first stage (1.0) as there is also other things that should be tweaked,
such as the water breaking the conning tower/bow when surfacing/diving, torpedo impact water plumes
that looks to white and solid in the stock game at the moment. But I will tackle that in a 1.1-1.2
maybe.


I would recommend to use these with the Bow-Conning Tower KIT 1.0

I look forward to more goodies :yep:

[SheepOnDrug$]

:up: that is really sweet work cox :yep:

[CaptainCox]

Cheers guys!
@Beery, did some patrolling career mode and I can only recommend " IMPROVED BOW WAVE TRANSPARENT" don't look to bright at night but also not to dark (considering that bow waves do tend to look brightish).

Oh great; more cool mods to waste time deciding on...

Did you get the game yet? ;)

[Sailor Steve]

No, which makes it all the worse. When I finally get to play anything again I'll have even more decisions!:rotfl:

Don't get me wrong; I've been posting "complaints" of this kind ever since I got my first SH3 mods. Actually I'm going crazy not being able to play, and the bow waves look great.

[LZ_Baker]

Thanks alot mate!

[nurka]

You Guys Are Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[subzero1944]

Many many Thanks Captain !

[Beery]

Great stuff. I'll take a look at them in-game. I'll probably go for the dark transparent one for RFB. One thing I'm looking to achieve is a bow wave that doesn't look too bright at night, so I may ask for a darker version if you could - but I'll check it out first - this might work fine.

Fantastic work! :up:

[t0maz]

Heehe - and the stern wave will look like diesel smoke ;)

Great job, another a must have mod :up:

[Beery]

I went with the non-transparent darker looking one. It works great at night - no more fluorescent waves on moonless nights.

[bunkerratt]

using the transparant version along with the less water through limber holes mod...just makes it sweet the boat no longer looks like it has rabies ...nice work man..ty

[Hartmann]

Good work !! :up:

[CaptainCox]

Cheers guys!. As i am home from work today i will look a bit at the "dive/surface" bow wave. Especially around the conning tower you get these little "balls" of foam that looks like...well balls flopping around.

It would be great if that could be made more realistic-looking.

[CaptainCox]

Will start to look at it later today 100%...have some other stuff in the pipeline at the mo ;)
