You catch onto the smallest details which make a big impact when applied. Thanks again for another great mod.:)

I love the look of the new micro bubbles.
Simply as a point of productive criticism, certainly nothing else because I'm a fan of your mods...
bubbles underwater do not form round bubbles as one would think of them being blown in the air. Rather, they form a semi-sphere, or disc shape (almost like a jelly-fish) that expand and break part as they rise.
Could you see anyway to work in bubbles like that?
Here's a pic of some realistic bubbles in the water (I hope I'm posting this pic right, never done that before. Also hope it's not violating anything, would a mod please let me know if this is not good)

edit: yep, well it didn't post the pic, but it linked. Guess that will have to do for now. Cheers Ailantd, good work!

Bravo! Once again we provided you Ailantd an exellent job. I appreciate your more Demachi mosdeste give us a real work environment of modding, not just by changing some configuration files, as I have seen on other mod very pretentious, but with real textures Premium quality and precision simply.I wait with anticipation each new release. we just wish it never stops.:up:

You are right.
In fact I started working with that shapes, and ever more complicated forms, but with the billboards movement as they are in the game certainly round bubbles worked better as them look fine with every movement direction. It could look good in bubbles when a ship sink, but devs use that same texture in propellers so no way it looks fine everywhere.

Anyway, what version do you like more, micro or normal?

I understand completely, and again, just to be redundant, my suggestion was only made in passing and out of curiosity as to the technical capabilities of the engine.
The mod looks head and shoulders better than stock and I'm a huge fan of your stuff. Everyone is, as you can tell from the screenshot thread that is universally full of your clouds. They are the must have of all mods as is this now. :salute:
I like the micro bubbles personally.

Yes, but that is vanilla, coded in some config file I guess. This only change texture files.

Unfortunately the bubbles of the propellers are a bit different

I know, but it is not possible to make that changing only texture files.
I don´t believe that would be modable to that extreme.
Something like that should be hard coded in particle sistem engine of the game as a especial feature I guess.

Another fantastic upgrade.:rock:The stock huge bubbles looked like clear basketball size object being ejected from the Sub. I was expecting some kind of detonation when they hit the surface.;)

I am running AilBubbles 1.0 Micro.

I have 2 questions:

Is there a way to slow down the bubble animation.:06:
Is it possible to increase how far the bubble rise.:06:

I´m playing now with particles.dat
Don´t know yet what can be done exactly, a lot of particles there, so I need to identify all that I´m interested in right now: bubbles, explosions and smoke.

Any progress slowing down the bubble animation and increasing how far the bubbles rise?:06:

Is it possible to make the propeller bubbles start at the same size as the prop (as opposed to expanding from zero to max size like they do now) and go straight back from hub? That would make it a bit more like real prop cavitation. Dropping the duration of the bubbles would help too.

I Agree :up:,I think The bubbles need :

1) a way to slow down the bubble animation
2) a way to increase how far the bubble rise
3) increase a bit the scattering/disperse of the bubbles

I've been trying to bring the bubble controls from SH4 into SH5. Goblin/Granny can render the bubble but... Need something that allows a little more power to the end user. There is always HexEdit.

I have a question:
Would it be possible to have the BubbleMicro linked to any command causing the boat to submerge so they show above water like vent spay when flooding tanks for diving.:06:
That would be a very cool Graphics Effect.:cool:
