Just something that cropped up . I get an overwrite message when enabling and it says it overwrites
3D_Deck_Splash_FX_v0_0_1_Beta_byTheBeast conflicts with KZS Hull wetness for U-Boats + co tower and deck_revised_by_TheDarkWraith
\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7a\NSS_Uboat7a.val -D -A -W -S
\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b\NSS_Uboat7b.val -D -A -W -S

will this be a problem if using both mods ?

[DelphiUniverse]

The deck spray is something I've always not been entirely satisfied with, I hope the VIIC/41 version will be complete soon. I hate the stock spray. I'd love to see a smoother transition between slow speed and fast speed. This game is becoming very good with all these mods.

Thanks sober:salute:

Looks like a easy resolution if kapitan zur zee allows me to make compatible version for his mod.
His mod only adds a few controls to each of he VAL files.

PS: Just found and fixed a mistake I made. I started using negative value for GenericHeightControl - Max controller setting on aft half of the VIIB. This was preventing the FX from showing until deck was submerged.
Going back to try and finish the VIIA FX tonight.

[volodya61]

It would be great if the 3D Deck Splash FX would be compatible with the KZS Hull wetness :yep:

[TheBeast]

Fixed water level transition issue on the VIIB that was preventing FX from starting on aft part of the boat.

Completed the VIIA

Repacked BETA PREVIEW with new updates and posted to MediaFire.com

Yes, agree! :up: In my opinion the KZS Hull wetness is an "Must-Have-MOD" too! :yep:

[TheBeast]

I think maybe the GenSpeedControl needs some adjustment so effect ir more prominent at slower speed.
Current Setting is Min = 0.1 | Max = 0.7

Any Suggestions?

Thank you! :salute:

[THE_MASK]

added to my mega mod list :salute:

[ldu30]

Congratulations on the mod, spray graphic effects are great, but those sounds pssss psssss, as I do not like anything left in the set, if you use headphones are very annoying :dead:, is there any way to disable them in a future release?

[tonschk]

:yeah:Bravo !!! TheBeast :sunny: Outstanding :up:

[DelphiUniverse]

Thanks for this good mod and a special thanks for putting up an ALT download on the download page. It is good practice...... and a lesson for the other modders :haha: See now, I saved one download, I still have 10 to go today. It's great to have options.

Realy nice :Kaleun_Cheers:

Currently, the deck splash FX continue to run until depth of approximately 10 meters (Conning Tower Submerges).

What do you think about changing this so the Deck Splash FX stop around 8m to 8.5m?:06:

Regards!
TheBeast

[volodya61]

It would be great.. I think so..

[gap]

It would be great.. I think so..

I agree with Volodya :up:

EDIT:

Maybe you could make different particle generators to stop at slightly different depths, so to make splashes to disappear gradually with splash FXs close to the conning tower stopping last :hmmm:

makes sense to me, tbh. with that depth entire deck under water anyhow :yeah:

[TheBeast]

I combined the Deck Splash Mod with the Bubbles Mod
Download Link: V0.0.4 ---> EUF_UBoat_FX_v0_0_5_ byTheBeast Soon
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3724

I was playing with this Mod today and made a few adjustments to the bubbles that look promising.


Added Material to DAT so I can see changes real time in Goblin Editor without merging Materials.dat file.
Reduced Max Particles by approx. 50%
Reduced Particle Creation by approx. 50%
Reduced Velocity to slow bubble rise rate to look more realistic.
Increased Weight to slow bubble rise rate to look more realistic.
Changed Opacity value to make bubble easier to see.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=255&pictureid=7652

I also want to change the Propellers FX so they don't cavitate @ 1 knt and change bubble trail to spiral (speed dependant).

This work is a PITA. I do not have the Skwas Silent Editor controllers for SH5 So I have to make changes in Goblin Editor and then Copy/Paste 10/1 parent nodes back into dat after saving changes made in Goblin Editor.

Awesome work, thanks!
On my list for next campaign start.

[tonschk]

Thank you for this :yeah:

[TheBeast]

I saw these 2 guns in the Conning Tower of my 7A and was thinking about adding A02 and A03 AA stations.
Not sure about how to do the Waypoints and Animations though.:timeout:

[mikehcl]

hi, someone is so kind to explain to me why at night the splash are not white as in the wake of the submarine? Maybe I have a few MODs installed that change colors at that time?
Thanks.

Thanks.
The colors are controlled/effected by the Environmental MOD you currently have installed.
I am currently running DynEnv 2.9 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=202520) using Sobers Realistic Contrast MOD.
This Environment MOD has many different add-on options.

Please let me know what you think about the new dive bubbles added to the VIIC Bow. They only run for a few seconds when you dive then they should stop.
Other random bubbles have been reduce.
Bubbles_01.DDS changed. Paint.Net PDN templates in Documentation folder.

Hi TheBeast!
In my opinion, maybe it's better that the flow of the bubbles is more vertical. At the speed of one knot, the flow of the bubbles is tilted too much. I think that the flow should be almost vertical, the speed of the sub is about 51.4 cm / s. So also for the other speeds the flows of the bubbles are too sloping.
It's just my opinion.
Best regards.

I can see that "Object linked to" option in snorkels .zon files is still ON?:hmmm:

This will cause damage related CTD ...
