[WIP]: Starshells for GWX

[h.sie]

Currently I'm adapting a Starshells - Mod for GWX3 similar to the mod Stiebler did for NYGM.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=158242

I really like these starshells, they look nice during a night convoy attack. But don't know if it is realistic. So my question is: Are they historically correct? And if yes: Which ships should be equipped with them?

Stiebler equipped only merchants. What about warships and escorts?

-----

I also want to import ONLY the nice red distress flares (when a ship sinks) from Racerboys SH4 mod into GWX3, but without all the other explosion effects (GWX3-explosions look better in my opinion). Unfortunately my knowledge with Materials.dat and Particles.* is not sufficient to do that alone. Does anyone know how to handle this?

Hi urfisch.

Our preferences regarding supermods seem to be very different. I perfer GWX or perhaps NYGM.....

But thanks for your offer to help me. I already know how to add the Starshell-Gun to the ships (.eqp files).

But I don't know how to modify the GWX3 Materials.dat and Particles.* in order to import ONLY the distress flares of the SH4-effects-Mod into GWX.

I don't want to use the Materials.dat and Particles from the SH4-effects mod, because I perfer the GWX explosions and effects.

Do you have an idea how to do that? I guess the distress flares are coupled with some explosion- or sinking events, but I've never worked with events, effects and materials.

Hello h.sie,

maybe you contact "Matz1962" via ubi.com (please in German :D).
He did the adaption of Racerboys MOD for LSH3.
