View Full Version : [REL] Torpedo trail and wake fix

The torpedo trail and wake fix mod changes the following:

1) For electric torpedoes, the bubble trail that the stock electric torpedoes --TII (G7e), TIII (G7e), TIII FATII (G7e), TIII LuTII (G7e), TIV (G7es), TV (G7es) and TXI (G7es)-- leave behind have been changed to a quickly fading, barely visible cavitation trail only.

2) For gas/steam torpedoes, they now leave a slightly thicker, slightly longer-lasting underwater bubble trail, while on the surface they now leave a quite long and very visible wake that lasts around 30 seconds.

This mod *should* be compatible with every variation/mod of SHIII, from just the stock, patched game up through all the other mods.

After unzipping, either copy/paste the torpedo trail and wake fix mod in the MODS folder of your appropriate game folder, or just copy and paste the file direct into your Data/Library folder (first backing up the original file first, of course!)

Thanks to skwasjer and his wonderful Silent 3ditor!

(This mod is a revision of the electric torpedo trail fix in that it adds the additional tweak for the gas/steam torpedoes. If you're running the electric torpedo trail fix and want the additional tweak for the gas/steam ones then disable the original electric torpedo trail fix mod and enable this one in place of that.)

mikaelanderlund, I'll have to try and see why it isn't compatible. I'm assuming you've tried it and there's a conflict?

I have no "conflict" with anything.... if OLC has modified the .dat... it is not within the GUI I use.

and honestly I have not seen much of the torps lately... :shifty: was too busy evading that darn DCs from the Increased ASW - mod :smug:

will have to take some closer looks from now when I release my eels

I think he was refering to the OLC Environment mod.........not the OLC GUI mod.

Two different mods.:up:
