[REL] SH4 effects (and more) for SH3

[Madox58]

I have never looked at RacerBoys Mod.
I don't need to to know what needs adjusted.

It's actaully very little work needed to convert to 2.0
And then just a dash more for 2.01

A day MAYBE to adapt to 2.0
half hour to do the 2.01 convert.

I don't adjust others mods unless asked.
To many pitfalls there if you know what I mean.

I agree! :yep:
This board hosts a great deal of talented modders and kaleuns and it would be a shame to make all this crumble!

This is one of the few boards that i love to visit!;)

As for converting...i say wait for the next GWX patch and of couse the permission of the modder!

Oh hell, I wouldn't call my self a modder. All I did was copy some files, I did no editing work. :doh: The credit goes entirely to the original work done by the creators of the mods from which the TGA files were 'borrowed'.

[HundertzehnGustav]

yea yea... that sis how it all started for me five years ago.... CFS3, the golden days....

you got the bug now!

[thehiredgun]

I'm in July 1940 having loaded up RB's SH-4 effects for sh-3 Version 2.022 into GWX2.0! Am i too early in the war to be seeing floating bodies ? I've attacked a ASW trawler & seen bodies"gunners"blown off the ship but none in the water,no blood,or flares etc. Or is something not working?

[Julius Caesar]

Am i too early in the war to be seeing floating bodies ?

holy ship what a question.

no, ma, you are too young. once you turn 21, they will become available in the "Graphic options" menu.

[FIREWALL]

Without haveing to read all 500+ posts.

Is this mod compatible with GWX 2.0 ?

[sh3rules]

Without quoting all of the above posts, the answer is: sort of.

My advice is to wait for RB to make an official release.

[Gezur(Arbeit)]

Without haveing to read all 500+ posts.

Is this mod compatible with GWX 2.0 ?

yes it is. try it yourself ;) but it works fine with my gwx 2.0

[Wreford-Brown]

Without haveing to read all 500+ posts.

Is this mod compatible with GWX 2.0 ?

To summarise most of the 500+ posts, it works fine with GWX 2.0 and shouldn't cause any fatal CTDs but you may lose some of the GWX 2.0 experience as Racerboy's mod overwrites some of the GWX files.

[Voyd]

My apologies if I missed something:oops: but is this mod compatible with GWX2.0?
not yet. They altered the zones.cfg file and added new 'events' which my particles.dat file is missing. It will be made compatible though don't worry! :|\\
RB: in case I don't care for the enhancements in GWX 2.0 at the moment and just want to use your mod. Will it run or may there be problems?
It can't be used currently with GWX 2.0. I'll be working on a version for GWX 2.0 here very soon.
What else needs to be said??

[d@rk51d3]

Good work Voyd.:up:

Just saved me half an hour of backtracking through the threads to find that post.

[HundertzehnGustav]

i saw some of it last night, GWX 2.0 and had a blast. The x.022 version

love the LOTS OF debris in the water -wish they could stay longer though... 10 times longer!

the drowning sailors... wellllllll pure satisfaction from my Kaleu side of the game.
cruel but "real"

Yet have to sink a Tanker.... will the drowning sailors burn in fuel too?

good work.

ah, the red flares... i dream of them going tree times as high as at the moment is.

No, and a lot of the previous posts debate the same question. The people who can best answer that question are the GWX team and Racerboy. As a user, I think that Racerboy's mod enhances GWX 2.0 and although you lose part of the GWX 2.0 experience, I have not noticed any serious differences in the overwritten files and no CTDs.

[thehiredgun]

I put in Racerboy's 2.022 SH4 effects for SH3 thru JSGME & I have not seen the sailors in the water or them blowing off a ship or flares ect. What did I do wrong, I am using GWX 2.0 & these mods GWX mods, main movie DAs Boots, Lite harbor traffic, alternative flotillas, alternate screen full circle, english nav map & grid references, & these mods too real battery life, super torpedo, DB sounds, campaign, depth charge shake, elite crew uniforms, torpedo damage final, IXB slint camo, natural sinking mechanics 4.0, type IX open hatch, sound mod for ship breakup, SFX sound mod, IXD2 MK4 also. Can it be put in directly into SH3? Need help pleases. Want to enjoy this mod too.

Keep in mind that some editions of racerboy's mod extract themselves into another subfolder with the mod's name. Click on the extracted effects mod folder in JSGME's MODS directory and see if inside that folder you see a folder marked "data". If you see a folder with the mod's name then you will not get the effects until you move this "interior folder" out of its duplicate folder and into the mods folder.

[thehiredgun]

how do I move the data folder into the jsgme mods folder, i have never done that before.

[1480]

how do I move the data folder into the jsgme mods folder, i have never done that before.

Right click the file/folder pick the copy option, go to the MODS folder, right click the white box and pick the paste option. Trust me I'm terrible with these computers. You'll become a pro in no time at all.

[thehiredgun]

thank you I'll try that & let you know if it works now.

As I have installed the mod, but not tried it yet. In any event, Racerboys first message says nothing about transparent water. Alot of other things though.

As for your 7kb/s connection. I know the feeling. Some 8-9 years ago I had to do with 1KB/s through my mobilephone. Man that cost me, ... money, grievance and patience! I made sure my browser only downloaded the text parts, not images unless I wanted them.

Have we got transparent water yet... or is that a tall order?

If I recall correctly, the water in SH3 is transparent to some degree, but only one way, from the underside looking up. I don't know if it (the water surface) can be flipped over somehow, and if it can, will we lose the surface "windswept" looking water textures?

[LordNeuro"Serbia"]

I put the Racerboy SH4 effects in the mods folder in 2 variants. 1 is MODS\Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03\data and the 2 is Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\MODS\SH4 efects and in the 2 is data and all the files from data from folder in just SH4 efects. Sorry for my bad english. I see the Sh4 effects on pic and it gr8. But i dont now how too make it work. This is the list of mods i m using

Dont copy the "RB_SH3...." effects in the "MODS" folder but the "Racerboy_sh3..." File, that was my fault. Then open JSGME and Activate the Mod, this worked for me, because i put the worng file into the MODS folder. (you open the "RB_Sh3..." file, the next one will be the one u need.)


BTW. where is he? :(

[thehiredgun]

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Well the fact is that RB is somewhere taking care of his life and we cant blame him. Gwx enhanced damage effects is not too much behind sh4 effects to sh3, so right now Im using gwx 2.0 with their enhanced effects and I must say looks pretty good.

Who knows, maybe in the 2.1 version of gwx they might surprise us with an optional mod of their own simulating some sh4 effects, would be awesome and they can do that.

Lets wait and see...

[Dolfo91]

[Wolfehunter]

Only RB's exhaust mods work with GWX 2.0
Because it effects only the val sub files.;)

Flag mods and his FX mods will work but with risk of random CTD's that choice is yours to take at the moment. These mods break the GWX 2.0 game.

Untill RB fixes this issue or someone else, adding these mods are risky.:-?

I know for FACT what will happen.

I can reproduce it on demand!!

For someone who claimed to be so
"For the People"?
Where are you now?


For the sake of "the people", can we get privateer to explain his reproduction, then one of us can fix the issue?

Is there any real reason to withhold this information?

[miner1436]

I hope he can finish his SH Equipper, its a very helpful tool.

[sh3rules]

ahhh Horror, lets turn Sh3 into an Ego shooter :arrgh!:

On the one hand I understand that adding those skins might give the game more realism, and it reinforces the argument that military simulations do not trivialize the horrors of war (Operation Flashpoint was also rather brutal). On the other hand, the question then becomes “how much blood and gore are enough?” I‘m not criticizing the mod, but simply pointing out that IMO this should be an optional feature and not a standard part of the effects.

[ReallyDedPoet]

Privateer is adhering to Subsim's recommended modding etiquette ( in the Mod Stickies ), he mentioned this a few pages back in this thread.

To be honest I hope the RB is OK, the stuff he has done here has really added to SH3, but takes a back seat when it comes to RL issues.


RDP

[MONOLITH]

I'm quite aware of modding etiquette. No worries there.

I was very involved in testing the mod with RB not very long ago.

My only point was this; A lot of people want the mod to work with GWX2.0(1). Racerboy is currently unable to work on the fix.

All I'm saying, is we could help out both him, and the community, by looking into a fix.

If the GWX team knows "exactly where" the problem is, but withholds that information, and prevents the community from securing a workaround, it would be interesting for the community to know exactly what the purpose of that posture is.

It would seem that the right thing to do for the community, is to work together for a fix.

To help the community, all privateer needs to do is say "this is what I found the issue to be". This would surely benefit all.

There's no violation of modding etiquette in that. Only a service to the community.

[Grayson02sept1980]

question:

how do those SH4 effects effect the game in case of a real slow machine.

i play right now on 50% particle etc and get no "big" drop in the framerate except for the (already in other topics discussed) periscope breaking the surface etc.

So I will try this as I always liked candy ;) even if it is eye candy

If Racerboy does not appear any more, what will be with "Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3" mod ? It is necessary to correct quickly disappearing smoke from contact with water :damn:

I won't step in and fix Racerboys mods because I have no info on what
his plans are.
I know where the problems are because I worked on the files involved.
I have an obligation to the GW Team that prohibits giveing EXACT details.
Compare the files.
It's all there.
Raceboy would be doing no less to update his mod.
S3D should make it a very simple job for nearly anyone.
That's about the best I can do at this stage.

As has been stated by multiple people, it is now quite apparent that he's trying to maximize the "Shock & Awe" factor that we will all undoubedly experience when Sh4 Effects is made available after GWX 2.1 and IABL's Fleet Mods are released. Though there is that slim possiblity that he's been hanging out w/ Steve Fossett since his last post...2 months should have been long enough for Steve to get his subterranean party pad ready for RB's arrival :yep:.

RFX v1.00 will replace all versions of SH4 effects for SH3. It is being made based on GWX 2.1 files (primarily zones.cfg) w/o the enhanced damage effects. Taking what I learned during my extended shore leave I have created much better fire, smoke, effects, etc. while keeping it FPS friendly. Still screenies do no justice to the fire effects as flame parts rise and fade out and the fire whips from side to side and, well, acts like fire! Teaser of small smoke and fire only:

Holy Moly...... RFX v1.00 is looking sweet already RB ! As always I await your artistry with baited breath :rock: By the by .... just a quick question for you, I have never noticed any ships capsize (spelling?) . I'm not sure if they ever should, tho I don't see why not ...... but if not, do you think it's at all possible to mod. I'm sure it would yet another rl dimension to the eye candy.

Best regards.

Hi guys!

Been away from the forums for a few weeks thanks to work, and having a look through today I found this thread.

Racerboy, always admired your work on SH3, and the latest pics with smoke etc. look great. Question though, (and apologies if its already been answered), but is\will the latest version be compatible with other major mods - I'm thinking primarily of OLC's excellent Ubermod version 2.4.2 that I have installed?

Cheers, great work!

Hi guys!

(...) - I'm thinking primarily of OLC's excellent Ubermod version 2.4.2 that I have installed?

Px3000

If I could answer your question ....... Well, the "read me" (v. 2.4.2 and SH4 for SH3) files may bring some light to the issue, but you have to be very careful reader.:yep: Mods are compatible under certain conditions.

[Desga]

Excuse me to all but were can I found the link for RFX v1.00 ??;)

Thank to all for this big and wonderfull work!!

Ciao Desga

[Desga]

Hi Racerboy.

I would only like to add ships horn sounds when enemy warships detect me.

However, I have tried to add it according to the readme file in the package, but I haven't fixed it.

This is what I did so far:

I added this line to several of the warships eqp file:


;SH4 effects (and more) for SH3
[Equipment (number)]
NodeName=M96
LinkName=sho_1_gun
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

Then I found a wav file from Silent Hunter 4 which i renamed to sho_1_gun and copied it to the data/sound folder.

I started a game and found the ships with modified eqp files and when they spotted me I freeCammed to the alerted ship, but it didn't give any sound. I tried it with some other ships, but there is no sound on any of them.

I tried to check it by opening the enable disable sound guns file with the tweakertool and changed the value to 1 to see the "transparent-like" guns, but they didn't show up in the game.


What am I doing wrong Racerboy?

Any clues?


Thanks!

[asanovic7]

I don't know kakeman, what seems to be the problem..
But..

I am wondering what "version" of sh3 are you playing, is the equipment number ok, stuff like that?
Try adding original sound from the mod, test it and then see..

Regarding that..

I didn't make any changes to racerboys sounds in my version, it's the same, which now reminds me to check if files are different from 2.1 to gwx 3.0, now I am not shure whether I checked that :oops:

RB!

Fires looking good! I tried that "rising of the flames" with oil fires, just made one step in that direction(one alternative part of the 7.x version), I understand how you did that and must say, please continue! :salute: I see fps is 60, but please try it with several ships burning in the port from the atack of aeroplanes.. That is the situation most pc's get choked?

The only step that misses now is wind affecting the smokes..

Have you tried something about that or is that completely "s...d" for sh3? How do they call it? hard coded? If that would be solved sh3 would be whole other game..
And, a little suggestion.. Can you contact poul and ask him for snorkel sounds, and try to add it to your rfx? I tried but my "view is blocked"? I don't understand fully the work of the menu ini file and sdl combo?

Cheers, all!

[TheDarkWraith]

send me the latest version of GWX's Sh3.sdl and Asanovic's latest version of Sh3.sdl. I'll see what's missing so that people can use my Live AI Ships idea. That, to me, was one of the best parts of the mod. Does anyone use the Starshell part of it? You have the option of enemy ships firing starshells in your direction to light up the sky to try and 'see' you when spotted.

Wind affected smoke still eludes us. Haven't figured out how to get it to work correctly. You can put fake wind into the smoke but that's not realistic at all. I did come across something though that might work (very small probability) but haven't tried it yet.

menu.ini has nothing to do with Sh3.sdl. SH3.sdl is the master sound mixer. Any sound that is wanted to be used in-game has to be 'registered' with Sh3.sdl. Once it's registered the sound is typically played using references to it via .dsd files.

@kakeman:

with the mod enabled, does your \data\Library contain the following files:
- Whistles_Horns_shells.dat
- Whistles_Horns_shells.sim
- Whistles_Horns_ships.dat
- Whistles_Horns_ships.sim
- Whistles_Horns_ships.dsd

if not then Live AI Ships will not work.

[kakemann]

Racerboy and asanovic!

Fixed it. I had renamed the sound incorrectly, so it works perfectly with the newest GWX version.

I named it sao_1_gun.wav, and the correct name should be sao_1.wav.
Exactly as described by you Racerboy in the readme.

Thanks for your advice

Im afraid I haven't tried the starshell yet, but my guess is that it works ;-)

By the way..

Do you remember which file controls the sound to trigger. I mean... Where to look to make the wav loop.
I have used mini tweaker and Silent 3ditor, but not sure which file to browse.

Thanks again!

Sorry!
My fault :oops:
It is working now.

[TheDarkWraith]

Do you remember which file controls the sound to trigger. I mean... Where to look to make the wav loop.

the master sound mixer, Sh3.sdl controls:
- looping
- whether the sound is played or not
- volume
- a random amount to vary the volume each time the sound is called for
- pitch
- a random amount to vary the pitch each time the sound is called for
- whether the sound is 3D or not - NOTE: sound files must be monoaural - cannot be stereo!
- dopplerfactor (think of airplane long distance away then getting closer and how the sound changes)
- minradius sound is heard (before minradius sound is full strength and after minradius sound starts to decay in volume)
- maxradius (after maxradius sound is no longer heard)
- delay (time to wait before playing sound when it's called for)

[CapZap1970]

Hi Racerboy:
Long time no see my friend, and also all of you guys. Been a bit busy but now I have some time free to play SH3 again.
I was wondering, RB, if there is a link to d/l your RFX v.1.00 I can't find it anywhere.
Thank you very much and it's very nice to see you around again. :up:

To all SH3-Modders

The mod "Rbs_SH4_effects_204f1" is a great mod, developed by Racerboy.

The white star shells are fired in the daytime.

Does anyone have an idea how to change it, so that they are only fired at night?

If so, which files are responsible for that?

Hoping for an answer...

He does not mean the read star shells fired in case the ship is hit.
This signal is correctly shot by day and night.

He is looking for a solution, for the white flares, shot when you are detected by the ships.

Please help to solve this problem.

It's a weapon.. :) If they spot you, they use that weapon.. :doh:

Yes but how can it work, see the destroyer with their starshells, that these starschells will only be fired at night? Do you have any good ideas?:06:
I am sorry that i did not mentioned your name as a specialist.:yeah:
Best regards

[asanovic7]

well, if you are asking things like that then it is a good thing you didn't mention me as a specialist.. :rotfl:Because I am not..

Well, cruise through that destroyers eqp file, check the weapon, find it in the files, check sim files of that destroyer, check files of the destroyer, compare to your merchant, weapon, make some conclusions, tell yourself merchants don't even need that kind of weapon, but you could try this, that, sh.t!, reinstall the game, but I could try that one last thing, compare again and so on.. That is how I would do it.. :rotfl:

Hello again A6Intruder,
Yep, I've D/Ld but not used it yet as everything seems to refer to GWX2 & 2.1. Is it compatible with GWX Gold? I also got the impression from reading Racerboys comments that it it was compatible with all SH3 Mods. I have NYGM, Warace 4.1 and LSH. Tell me I am wrong and put me out of my misery!

Hi,
i think no problems with every GWX Version. NYGM i do`t know, in WAC you will get in conflict with materials + particles.dat. Most of the effects are includet so you do not need it really. As far as i know it should work with LSH, but if you use the star shell mod for LSH you will get the same conflict as above.

Hi !
I use the MOD with GWX 3.0 with no problems!

Otherwise, it's like A6Intruder writes, that the MOD is included in WAC4.1, you do not need extra, see here: http://hansolo78.2page.de/ then > Features II > Special FX Effekte II

For the next version of LSH (5.0) there will be a customized version as an Add-On, see here: http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2371008762/m/4901022797

[ridgewayranger]

HI,
Thanks for your replies. The reason I asked about GWX Gold is that now I have tried it and on my first dive I went straight down like a lead balloon!
I also noticed my deck gun ammo had changed from my setting of 220 to 120, stock I believe. I use mini tweak for simple changes, but it still showed my setting(220), so I changed it in Basic.cfg. Maybe some of my other mods are clashing? Too many to list, just noticed to my horror that I have 31 listed, time for a clear out methinks. Some are probably incorporated in the latest mods.
Thanks again for comments, I look forward to LSH5.

Hi Again,
There is obviously something wrong with my D/L or install. The loading time went from 6.5 mins to over 20, and when I dived I kept going down. With flank speed and blowing M/B I got back up back went down again as soon as I stopped.
Apart from GWX mods I have:-
Enhanced funnel smoke and Thomsens ships
Lite radio traffic V2
Periscopes TDC 1.2
Gunfix mod v1.1
Foam
Community units
Kiel map detail
Seawolf & Tuddley Gold full edition
Lifeboats & debris_v4
Water_Stream_for_ Uboats_V4
Wbs Renown replacement
I was wondering about the Seawolf mod?
I also have flashing lights in the control room. Seem to be related to rolling but as they are never obscured, why?
Any help greatly appreciated.
RR

[asanovic7]

ridgewayranger


Just wanted to share some thoughts..
About the loading time.. Too big, must be a bug somewhere, 20 mins is too big..

About the diving issue.. I asked that a while ago and people said it is something normal. Well, it seemed to me that way, until I made a decent install with carefully placed mods. Well, now I don't have that issue anymore. Regardless of this, I had one issue with st. nazaire don't loading st. nazaire startup ctd, I said it is enuf to shrink some tgas to get the startup. Not true. Since then I had no such problem even with high textures.
BUT THEN again, I installed sp3, I installed new graphic drivers..
Who can really tell?

My best guess here is that you have a problem with community units. Unload that and try.
Then unload one by one or unload everything and load one by one, and try and report somewhere best on that mod's page..

Cheers!

[ridgewayranger]

Hi Asinovic,
Yes, thanks, I'll do what you suggest. I keep wondering what community units is anyway. Must have seemed like a good idea when I D/Ld it but so long ago and so many others since, I've completely forgotten.
Cheers, RR

I was reading through the comments and I decided to download this fantastic looking mod. But when I clicked the Filefront link it said this: 'The File you are attempting to download is not currently available on our servers or is being processed. Please try your download in a few minutes.' It has been doing this with EVERY Filefront link I have come across. Is Filefront down or what, because it is really ruining my day. :damn::damn::damn:

It's been here at Subsim Downloads all along.

Where has this mod been? I only saw it yesterday and applied it. Guess I missed it while playing SHIV.

It is a whole new ballgame now. A very exciting addition.

Looking at the Sea Folder( and the ships therein) of my sim and the one that this mod includes....I was concerned that the effects might be limited to stock ships. However I sank one stock merchant and one from the New Merchant Fleet Mod and the effects on both were equally spectacular.

Amazing isn't it? After half a decade SHIII can get me as excitied as the day it came out. :up:

Take a look at Jimbuna's latest pictures in the 'Official' Screenshots thread. Those are GWX's Enhanced Damage, and it's hard for me to tell which I think is better. That one only affects the particles files, but I wish I had that smoke that burns on the water for half an hour and goes so high in the sky. Unfortunately my game crashes when I try to run it, even with 4 GB and a new 1 GB graphics card.

This one works just fine though. I use it in conjunction with Torpedo Damage Final, and I'm very happy with it.

I'm about to start a new career with a gruntload of mods I finally got to work together, and yeah I'm as excited as the day I first opened the game. :D

[Seminole]

I'm in the same situation. I've even have mods I didn't know I had. I resupplied down in Spain and saw harbor porpoises hanging about the boat. They must have come in via some mod, but darned if I know which one.:D

[Sailor Steve]

Porpoises and whales come with GWX. You can also hear them on the hydrophones.

I wish I had that smoke that burns on the water for half an hour and goes so high in the sky.



I think I pretty much got that with the SH4 Effects for SH3 Mod.

Only thing though, as I said I suspected would be the case, the effects on the ships from the Merchant Mod don't have the massively spectacular explosion effects as do the stock ships. However,after watching both types going down I think I am delighted with the difference. Spectacular explosions would soon become stale but now I have two different types of sinkings. Don't get me wrong though...the merchant ships are spectacular enough in their own right with the SH4 for SH3 mod.

See below. This is one of the M class merchants from the Merchant mod. Sheds debris and lifeboats. Fires off flares. Has Bright fires with great smoke that goes high and lasts a long time..perhaps not a full half hour as you said you would like...but long enough. I wouldn't hang about for half an hour anyway..:D

OK that must be where I got them. I swapped out the whole Terrain Folder intact from GWX with SH3 1.4B's Terrain Folder...:yep:

Everything I wanted (and it looks like more than that) came along and works wonderfully well. Except the preset Kiel Canal courses from the Patterns Folder, which I also swapped out. Kiel Out goes almost directly to the NW and Kiel IN to the SW.

I opened up the Patterns Folder's .mis files with MS Word and it looks like it would be easy to create new and workable .mis files but man..there are over 60 waypoints I would have to set , record the Latt. and Long. for and write into the new .mis files....:nope:

Much too tedious a project for now. Maybe latter like in the winter...:shifty:...

[Sailor Steve]

My oil smoke burns for about one minute after the ship sinks and then it's gone. Here is a shot of mine that't similar to yours

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a325/SailorSteve/Silent%20Hunter%20Screenshots/SH3Img4-7-2010_171222_750.jpg

And here's a recent shot by Jimbuna, using the GWX version

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1967/sh32009082822404798.jpg (http://img31.imageshack.us/i/sh32009082822404798.jpg/)

I also made an interesting discovery about this mod, one that I really like:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1441823&postcount=8033

[Seminole]

That is neato. I be on the lookout for it. Tomorrow or the next time I run across another stock ship, I will capture images of the sinking and post them. I think these will be very simular to yours from Jimbuna, using the GWX version.

[mobius 1]

I downloaded the latest version of this that was posted in this thread.. and I was disappointed...

I've been trying to find this mod in the form it was in when I downloaded it originally- a couple of years ago now at least.. I've searched for 2 days and finally gave up, and went to bed.. Woke up the next morning actually resurrected a computer for a short time just to salvage this mod from it's hard drive.

I just had to upload it and share it to make sure this awesome mod stays out there.

This is/was " hollywood mod " at least for me.

Ships shoot up a red flare... explosions of bodies.. flailing bodies flying through the air... blood puddles... oil slicks.. :rotfl2:

Full credit goes to racerboy: http://www.gamefront.com/files/21547820/Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_022.zip

Cheers!

[Frenchy849]

Uhm...what you mention is still there.

[mobius 1]

:hmmm: hmm..
Well I was looking for the mod that had flailing bodies, more smoke/oil, and shot up red flares. The original D/L link for this thread is 404.

There is a link for another version of this mod a few pages earlier that I got to work... it had lots of smoke, but very few bodies.. and no red flares... I didn't try the "optional" part of that version though... is that where the red flares are in that version?

Hi shipmate, forgive me but I'm a tad confused. Are you saying you have tried v2.03 linked at the start of this thread. Or that you can't get it because the link is kaputski ? I ask because the link you posted (#681) is for v2_022.

If you want v2.03 you can find it on my gamefront acct here;

I'm confused. Here at Subsim Downloads there is a version labelled 7.1. It doesn't have the (and more), so should I assume it is a much older version and delete it?

For white flares (SOS), and red flares (ships sinking), you can try the optional submod for flares in LSH3 v5.1. I applied it after SH4 effects in my GWX installation, and works fine. It´s a great stuff.

[Albrecht Von Hesse]

I'd really like to add this to my current mod soup mix, but I've several questions first. I apologize in advance for these questions, as part of my mind says I should already know the answers, and another part of my mind says I should be able to figure the answers out based upon the mod-supplied readmes and instructions. Unfortunately, the bigger part of my mind (and the one that would up having me disappear for a number of years) no longer is capable of doing these things. :(

I've already minorly borked up my mod installs somehow by incorporating the necessary tweaks for Hsie's or Stiebler's hardcode fixes. So far those foobars have been relatively minor, such as the repetitive blank radio transmissions, floating flak towers at Kiel, and mis-sized new buttons. HW3 is graciously spending some time looking into the flak tower one for me.


My bigger questions regarding the "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3" mod are:
Is there a particular order, relative to the mods I already have, this should be activated via JSGME?
What effects (positive or negative) should "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3" have (especially sound related; ex. SH3.sdl) regarding the current mod setup I have?
I also have questions about the mod itself:
The mod has one main folder: RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03. Usually for mods I import, then activate, it via JSGME. However, usually mods have the file architecture of "MOD NAME\DATA\xxx"; RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 does not. Instead, within the folder RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 are subfolders:

for GWX 1_03,
Live_AI_ships_sounds,
Optional,
Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03, and,
tweakfile.
My understanding is that I won't need "for GWX 1_03" as I'm already running GWX (Gold) 3.0. I will (obviously) need to import the subfolder "Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03" and then activate it in order to run the mod itself. I won't need "Optional" (Torpedo_damage_Final) as I already have that as a mod on its own. However, I'm not at all sure what, if anything, I should, or need, to do with "Live_AI_ships_sounds".



There are also the text files:

How do I know if I setup new sounds correctly,
I want sound on a ship!,
I want the starshell gun on a ship!, and,
Racerboy's_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03.
Racerboy's_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 is self-explanatory; its the readme regarding the mod itself. The other three seem to be similar, but applicable only for those desiring to create new (or modify pre-existing) ships, etc.

Sorry for the lengthy missive, but my mind really isn't running at peak efficiency anymore, and I really could use all the help I can get.

Danke.

I'd say it's working right. AFAIK the squares are necessary for the animations to run. At least mine has always looked like that.:yep:

I'd say it's working right. AFAIK the squares are necessary for the animations to run. At least mine has always looked like that.:yep:

I don´t remember now what file causes the problem: particles.dat or materials.dat. I had the problem some years ago. Now I use the LSH3 Spezialeffekte Gross submod in GWX and no problem with square smoke.

Heh, believe it or not, the inspiration for it was from the person posted immediately above you, fitzcarraldo.

I came across one of his posts that listed all his mods, and I started digging about and uncovered all these gems that I wasn't using.

Then a couple of major mods all came out at around the same time, including Aces' Super Turms, h.sie's and Stiebler's sh3.exe fixes, etc. Put it all together in one big soup and I love it.:up:

Do you know if these will work properly without adding/using all of the MaGui ones? It's not that I personally have anything against the MaGui ones, it's just that I'm most familiar, and comfortable with, the setup I already use.

I wish I had a way to easily locate and d/l all of those (sans the MaGui ones). I also wish my head was in a better space, and operating condition, so I could try dealing with your Sh3.dsl advice. I understand what you mean, and what's necessary, but I'm no longer quite able to actually parse and perform as I used to do. :lost:

Honestly, I'm extremely tempted to create, and populate, a fifth folder just to try running these. :arrgh!:

The way I handled the Sh3.dsl file is that I took the Sh3.dsl file out of all the mods that had the most entries. Then I made sure that all the entries that were in the largest version had all the entries from the smaller versions.

After this, you just have to very methodically overwrite each mod using JSGME, and very slowly figure out what works.

Hope this helps and good luck.:up:

[rudewarrior]

Do you know if these will work properly without adding/using all of the MaGui ones?

The short answer is yes. However, the real answer is the MaGui mod could very well be "enmeshed" with any of the other mods listed after it.:shucks:

But then again, there is a reason it's called "soup!":rotfl2:

:mad:This mod will enhance and add new effects to the SH3 game. It has been designed around porting of SH4's effects and also new effects and events added by myself.
The reason for this mod was simple - SH4 had great eye candy but lacked in everything else compared to SH3. SH3 needed it effects and all revamped to the current day's effects (like SH4). I was one of the suckers who bought the pre-release version of SH4 due to all the hype and pictures that Ubisoft was throwing at us. Boy was I sorely disappointed when I started playing it. I won't go into details but you could clearly tell it was an unfinished product. It now resides in my not played anymore collection.
Being that I loved SH3 I decided I would take up the challenge and do this massive undertaking on my own. From the help of others that I also chose to include in this we have been able to transform the graphic effects, sound effects, and the immersion experience to something spectacular.
This is not the end of this mod by any means. I have discovered many new 'tools' and such to transform the experience even more. I have ideas that so far have proven to work in my testing and will hopefully be included in future releases. Some of those ideas are ship's whistles, horns, and PA announcements for certain events to name a few. Work on 2.03 has already begun with some of these ideas.
I hope you enjoy the new experience. It sure was fun making this so far. I look forward to keep improving the game as much as I possibly can.

Racerboy :|\\

Please post comments, bugs, and criticisms here. I'm always open to new ideas also! :yep:

from the readme file:

*** Racerboy's SH4 effects (and more) for SH3
This mod will bring SH4 effects (and more) to SH3. It will also add more realistic items that were missing from SH3 and SH4. It will work on all versions and all supermods installed on your system. It is JSGME ready so simply unzip to MODS folder, enable, and enjoy. It will be a WIP until completion. 100% port of the materials.dat and particles.dat from SH4 has been accomplished.
See Version history for list of features.
Sound files have been added to events that were previously missing sound. New sound files have also been added for the new events.

Please report all bugs, concerns, etc. to me (subsim name Racerboy). Feedback, comments, and suggestions greatly appreciated!

- AI_crewman_stoker__3 x 2
2.021 - fixed bug of 'paratroopers' when an airplane explodes under a certain height.
fixed bug of flares being fired into the water
added the reflection of the red flare onto the water. The red flare now lights up the water below when it's shining
2.03 - A 'bleeder' body has been added. This body will start to bleed when it hits the water. The blood cloud will expand and fade out over time. The following bodies bleed:
- gunner body (my version of stock gunner with lifevest and without helmet)
- deckhand 3
- The bleeder body will be flailing on the surface instead of stationary
- There are 10 customizable sounds for civilian/military ship's annoucement system. When the civilian ship has detected you they will play an announcement over their shipwide PA system. You will be able to assign any one of the 10 announcements to any ship you'd like.
- There are 10 customizable sounds for civilian/military ship's horn/whistle. When the military ship has detected you they will sound their horn/whistle. You will be able to assign any one of the 10 ship's horns/whistles to any ship you'd like.
- From the 10 customizable PA announcements and 10 customizable horns/whistles you'll be able to assign a combined PA announcement & horn/whistle combo to ships using them if you so like.
- A starshell gun has been made available. This new gun can be added to any ship (civilian/military). Once you are detected the enemy will fire this gun high up in the sky in your direction in an attempt to light up the area where you are. They will keep lobbing these shells until they either run out or lose sight of you. They have 60 shells with each shell lasting roughly 1 minute in duration.
- removed the red distress flare's reflection TGA. This will get rid of the bug where a flare or flares in the sky makes the water look like blood.
- reduced the size of the red distress flare by 1/3 it's previous size
- redid funnel_smoke. Also gave funnel_smoke it's own TGA so user can change to taste. Now when ship is stationary it doesn't smoke (0 knots speed). Funnel smoke now appears like the wind is interacting with it.
- redid smoke_small and burnning_oil_smoke_small to make them look 'fuller'
- fixed bug where smoke_small and smoke_big rotate with ship when it breaks apart
- added framework to Sh3.sdl so that the mod is compatible soundwise with GWX 1.03. It only gives the framework, not the sound files so you have to have GWX installed to hear these sounds.
- See file 'Readme_from_Racerboy' for instructions on how to use new features.
- added framework to Sh3.sdl so that the mod is compatible soundwise with DivingDuck's buoys v2. It only gives the framework, not the sound files so you have to have DivingDuck's Buoys v2 installed to hear these sounds and effects.
- increased volume of torpedo tube doors opening sound
- increased volume of submarine ambient interior sound
- increased volume of flooding and blowing tanks sounds
- increased volume of submarine diving sound
- increased volume of submarine surfacing sound
- added framework and soundfiles for upcoming AI torps mod from me
- The bug of the smoke_small and smoke_big abruptly stopping when the fire touches the water has not been resolved yet. I'm still working on a solution I'm satisfied with.
- Adjusted body counts to various events to reduce the number of bodies 'thrown'
- Added a debris event to oil_explosion to increase the debris thrown when this event is called for

Known bugs:
- smoke_small, smoke_big, and Burnning_oil_smoke (water surface oil flame and smoke) will abruptly stop when the flame is gone. Still trying to find a solution I'm happy with.

Known mod conflicts:
- cannot be used with 'Hollywood effects' mod

TweakFile contents:
- Ability to disable the 'bleeding' effect of the bodies on the surface

This mod is fully JSGME compliant. Delete previous versions of this mod, unzip, and copy the folder 'Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03' to mods folder, enable, and enjoy!

I would like to give credit to:
- OneLifeCrisis for his improved Wave textures that I have included in this mod
- D.Kruger's for his new effects TGAs (in \data\Textures\TNormal\tex)
- As their is only one .eqp file for each ship I had to add to GWX's .eqp files to make them compatible with the mod. Credit must be given to GWX since they are the original makers/modifiers of the .eqp files for the GWX 1.03 version, I only added to them.
- OceanBlue for his awesome 'Torpedo Damage Final' mod that I have included in the 'Optional' folder.

I would like to acknowledge/give thanks to the following people for their help in making this mod:
- Vader1 for helping with sound files and feedback
- Hawk U-375 for soundfile work and beta testing
- Privateer for information on soundfiles
- iambecomelife for work on crew AI bodies/uniforms and beta testing

This mod will enhance and add new effects to the SH3 game. It has been designed around porting of SH4's effects and also new effects and events added by myself.
The reason for this mod was simple - SH4 had great eye candy but lacked in everything else compared to SH3. SH3 needed it effects and all revamped to the current day's effects (like SH4). I was one of the suckers who bought the pre-release version of SH4 due to all the hype and pictures that Ubisoft was throwing at us. Boy was I sorely disappointed when I started playing it. I won't go into details but you could clearly tell it was an unfinished product. It now resides in my not played anymore collection.
Being that I loved SH3 I decided I would take up the challenge and do this massive undertaking on my own. From the help of others that I also chose to include in this we have been able to transform the graphic effects, sound effects, and the immersion experience to something spectacular.
This is not the end of this mod by any means. I have discovered many new 'tools' and such to transform the experience even more. I have ideas that so far have proven to work in my testing and will hopefully be included in future releases. Some of those ideas are ship's whistles, horns, and PA announcements for certain events to name a few. Work on 2.03 has already begun with some of these ideas.
I hope you enjoy the new experience. It sure was fun making this so far. I look forward to keep improving the game as much as I possibly can.

Please post comments, bugs, and criticisms here. I'm always open to new ideas also! :yep:

from the readme file:

*** Racerboy's SH4 effects (and more) for SH3
This mod will bring SH4 effects (and more) to SH3. It will also add more realistic items that were missing from SH3 and SH4. It will work on all versions and all supermods installed on your system. It is JSGME ready so simply unzip to MODS folder, enable, and enjoy. It will be a WIP until completion. 100% port of the materials.dat and particles.dat from SH4 has been accomplished.
See Version history for list of features.
Sound files have been added to events that were previously missing sound. New sound files have also been added for the new events.

Please report all bugs, concerns, etc. to me (subsim name Racerboy). Feedback, comments, and suggestions greatly appreciated!

2.021 - fixed bug of 'paratroopers' when an airplane explodes under a certain height.
fixed bug of flares being fired into the water
added the reflection of the red flare onto the water. The red flare now lights up the water below when it's shining
2.03 - A 'bleeder' body has been added. This body will start to bleed when it hits the water. The blood cloud will expand and fade out over time. The following bodies bleed:
- gunner body (my version of stock gunner with lifevest and without helmet)
- deckhand 3
- The bleeder body will be flailing on the surface instead of stationary
- There are 10 customizable sounds for civilian/military ship's annoucement system. When the civilian ship has detected you they will play an announcement over their shipwide PA system. You will be able to assign any one of the 10 announcements to any ship you'd like.
- There are 10 customizable sounds for civilian/military ship's horn/whistle. When the military ship has detected you they will sound their horn/whistle. You will be able to assign any one of the 10 ship's horns/whistles to any ship you'd like.
- From the 10 customizable PA announcements and 10 customizable horns/whistles you'll be able to assign a combined PA announcement & horn/whistle combo to ships using them if you so like.
- A starshell gun has been made available. This new gun can be added to any ship (civilian/military). Once you are detected the enemy will fire this gun high up in the sky in your direction in an attempt to light up the area where you are. They will keep lobbing these shells until they either run out or lose sight of you. They have 60 shells with each shell lasting roughly 1 minute in duration.
- removed the red distress flare's reflection TGA. This will get rid of the bug where a flare or flares in the sky makes the water look like blood.
- reduced the size of the red distress flare by 1/3 it's previous size
- redid funnel_smoke. Also gave funnel_smoke it's own TGA so user can change to taste. Now when ship is stationary it doesn't smoke (0 knots speed). Funnel smoke now appears like the wind is interacting with it.
- redid smoke_small and burnning_oil_smoke_small to make them look 'fuller'
- fixed bug where smoke_small and smoke_big rotate with ship when it breaks apart
- added framework to Sh3.sdl so that the mod is compatible soundwise with GWX 1.03. It only gives the framework, not the sound files so you have to have GWX installed to hear these sounds.
- See file 'Readme_from_Racerboy' for instructions on how to use new features.
- added framework to Sh3.sdl so that the mod is compatible soundwise with DivingDuck's buoys v2. It only gives the framework, not the sound files so you have to have DivingDuck's Buoys v2 installed to hear these sounds and effects.
- increased volume of torpedo tube doors opening sound
- increased volume of submarine ambient interior sound
- increased volume of flooding and blowing tanks sounds
- increased volume of submarine diving sound
- increased volume of submarine surfacing sound
- added framework and soundfiles for upcoming AI torps mod from me
- The bug of the smoke_small and smoke_big abruptly stopping when the fire touches the water has not been resolved yet. I'm still working on a solution I'm satisfied with.
- Adjusted body counts to various events to reduce the number of bodies 'thrown'
- Added a debris event to oil_explosion to increase the debris thrown when this event is called for

Known bugs:
- smoke_small, smoke_big, and Burnning_oil_smoke (water surface oil flame and smoke) will abruptly stop when the flame is gone. Still trying to find a solution I'm happy with.

Known mod conflicts:
- cannot be used with 'Hollywood effects' mod

TweakFile contents:
- Ability to disable the 'bleeding' effect of the bodies on the surface

This mod is fully JSGME compliant. Delete previous versions of this mod, unzip, and copy the folder 'Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03' to mods folder, enable, and enjoy!

I would like to give credit to:
- OneLifeCrisis for his improved Wave textures that I have included in this mod
- D.Kruger's for his new effects TGAs (in \data\Textures\TNormal\tex)
- As their is only one .eqp file for each ship I had to add to GWX's .eqp files to make them compatible with the mod. Credit must be given to GWX since they are the original makers/modifiers of the .eqp files for the GWX 1.03 version, I only added to them.
- OceanBlue for his awesome 'Torpedo Damage Final' mod that I have included in the 'Optional' folder.

I would like to acknowledge/give thanks to the following people for their help in making this mod:
- Vader1 for helping with sound files and feedback
- Hawk U-375 for soundfile work and beta testing
- Privateer for information on soundfiles
- iambecomelife for work on crew AI bodies/uniforms and beta testing

2.021 - fixed bug of 'paratroopers' when an airplane explodes under a certain height.
fixed bug of flares being fired into the water
added the reflection of the red flare onto the water. The red flare now lights up the water below when it's shining
2.03 - A 'bleeder' body has been added. This body will start to bleed when it hits the water. The blood cloud will expand and fade out over time. The following bodies bleed:
- gunner body (my version of stock gunner with lifevest and without helmet)
- deckhand 3
- The bleeder body will be flailing on the surface instead of stationary
- There are 10 customizable sounds for civilian/military ship's annoucement system. When the civilian ship has detected you they will play an announcement over their shipwide PA system. You will be able to assign any one of the 10 announcements to any ship you'd like.
- There are 10 customizable sounds for civilian/military ship's horn/whistle. When the military ship has detected you they will sound their horn/whistle. You will be able to assign any one of the 10 ship's horns/whistles to any ship you'd like.
- From the 10 customizable PA announcements and 10 customizable horns/whistles you'll be able to assign a combined PA announcement & horn/whistle combo to ships using them if you so like.
- A starshell gun has been made available. This new gun can be added to any ship (civilian/military). Once you are detected the enemy will fire this gun high up in the sky in your direction in an attempt to light up the area where you are. They will keep lobbing these shells until they either run out or lose sight of you. They have 60 shells with each shell lasting roughly 1 minute in duration.
- removed the red distress flare's reflection TGA. This will get rid of the bug where a flare or flares in the sky makes the water look like blood.
- reduced the size of the red distress flare by 1/3 it's previous size
- redid funnel_smoke. Also gave funnel_smoke it's own TGA so user can change to taste. Now when ship is stationary it doesn't smoke (0 knots speed). Funnel smoke now appears like the wind is interacting with it.
- redid smoke_small and burnning_oil_smoke_small to make them look 'fuller'
- fixed bug where smoke_small and smoke_big rotate with ship when it breaks apart
- added framework to Sh3.sdl so that the mod is compatible soundwise with GWX 1.03. It only gives the framework, not the sound files so you have to have GWX installed to hear these sounds.
- See file 'Readme_from_Racerboy' for instructions on how to use new features.
- added framework to Sh3.sdl so that the mod is compatible soundwise with DivingDuck's buoys v2. It only gives the framework, not the sound files so you have to have DivingDuck's Buoys v2 installed to hear these sounds and effects.
- increased volume of torpedo tube doors opening sound
- increased volume of submarine ambient interior sound
- increased volume of flooding and blowing tanks sounds
- increased volume of submarine diving sound
- increased volume of submarine surfacing sound
- added framework and soundfiles for upcoming AI torps mod from me
- The bug of the smoke_small and smoke_big abruptly stopping when the fire touches the water has not been resolved yet. I'm still working on a solution I'm satisfied with.
- Adjusted body counts to various events to reduce the number of bodies 'thrown'
- Added a debris event to oil_explosion to increase the debris thrown when this event is called for

Known bugs:
- smoke_small, smoke_big, and Burnning_oil_smoke (water surface oil flame and smoke) will abruptly stop when the flame is gone. Still trying to find a solution I'm happy with.

Known mod conflicts:
- cannot be used with 'Hollywood effects' mod

TweakFile contents:
- Ability to disable the 'bleeding' effect of the bodies on the surface

This mod is fully JSGME compliant. Delete previous versions of this mod, unzip, and copy the folder 'Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03' to mods folder, enable, and enjoy!

I would like to give credit to:
- OneLifeCrisis for his improved Wave textures that I have included in this mod
- D.Kruger's for his new effects TGAs (in \data\Textures\TNormal\tex)
- As their is only one .eqp file for each ship I had to add to GWX's .eqp files to make them compatible with the mod. Credit must be given to GWX since they are the original makers/modifiers of the .eqp files for the GWX 1.03 version, I only added to them.
- OceanBlue for his awesome 'Torpedo Damage Final' mod that I have included in the 'Optional' folder.

I would like to acknowledge/give thanks to the following people for their help in making this mod:
- Vader1 for helping with sound files and feedback
- Hawk U-375 for soundfile work and beta testing
- Privateer for information on soundfiles
- iambecomelife for work on crew AI bodies/uniforms and beta testing
- Urfisch for information on emissionarea in FastParticleGenerators

- A6Intruder for beta testing
- TheJoker for beta testing
- brotebojo for beta testing

What do you expect necromancing a old thread?:hmmm: You keep pointing out the 404 for Filefront put that has been closed down long ago. I gave you a link for the mod on my reply before, which you missed evidently. Or are you trolling.:timeout:

Can anybody advise me on if I can get just the shell splinter effects from this mod without activating all the other visual effects like torpedo impact splashes, explosions, etc? Or are the explosions particles effects all together and not seperable?

Sorry for breathing life to a comatose thread.
