New & Improved - Damage Textures Mod (pic heavy)

Gday all,
Never was satisfied with the damage textures in game, so, after a time playing with and altering the textures, I stumbles on a unique solution that gives varied and more realistic than stock damage textures.

JSGME enabled

I have included four sets for differing tastes......
...and as a side thought...was wondering if its possible to add this to sh3 commander random files??:hmm: ....hope so....would be good:D

GAME ISSUES
Whist the textures work very well, nothing is perfect in the sh3 world.
As torp textures,they rock(even if i do blow my own trumpet), but as for shell fire, the texture lightens a shade and may be bigger.... still works great and alot better than stock, but these are my observations ... maybe im being a bit pedantic.
Still being neither definitive nor everyones cup of tea, I sure hope your SH3 experience can be enhanced by at least some of this compilation. Suggestions and critique welcome :up: :down:

Rapidshare sucks for me :down: had a go at the other two and all I got was a empty zip folder from both sites, strange what's going on. :-?

[EmeAzul]

AnzacMick, thank you very much for this nice Mod. By experimenting around, I found that the downloaded file is actually a ".7z" file instead of a "zip" file. You might want to change the download file naming convention, so that others can get to your files in a more direct fashion. Cheers

[GT182]

Knackers. Mick, I just downloaded the file from RapidShare and it comes up as "Invalid Archive file", and empty as all getout. ;)

[gatordad]

Yeah, I've got Winzip, Winrar & 7zip. - Can't get a valid download from either site.

Any one have it working that can put it in Winrar or Winzip format and provide a linky?

I use WinRar , and it woked fine for me, I used the Geocities link . I suggest he submit them to UBRS , this way everyone can get it without any probs. I don't know why people use Rapidshare, can only download 1 or 2 things an hour. UBRS, unlimited, don't even need to worry about free user limited access.

[Reece]

I don't think Mick will mind, here in rar format:

[The General]

One of the best Mods I've seen, thanks Anzacmick!:)

[anzacmick]

thanks for the appreiciation, ...anyone know if we could use this for different damage textures in sh3 commander...im not real flash on it:hmm:

[GT182]

Reece's link works fine as I just got thru downloading it. Sorry Mick, but your's still comes up as invalid.

[terrapin]

:rotfl:

[anzacmick]

So...can anyone answer my question about SH3commander and randomizing these damage textures:hmm:. I would love to know.:D

Also wondering, if anyone is interested in some more textures? They are easily made and i can get out another batch if required.

Cheers all who commented, as I was quite excited about this discovery...seems it may have been just me though....lol

[Ducimus]

Awesome torpedo holes ya got there! But i have to ask, How do these damage textures effect computer performance with heavy use?

What i mean is, in some scenarios in a game, high resolution textures really lower frame rate and can bring a computer to its knee's. One situation i can think of, is say your shelling damaged freighter using any of the NYGM damage mods. You can shove as many many shells at such a target, and it doesnt take long to suffer a huge performance hit.

[anzacmick]

gday Ducimus,
from what i have seen it doesnt:up: no frame hit on GW1.1 anyways for me.
If anyone notices otherwise, let us know.
cheers
mick

[Jimbuna]

Ain't noticed any effect on my system either...currently using GW :D

[mr chris]

This great mod has had no effect on my frame rates what so ever, i run a quite heavily modded version of gw1.1a and have had no problems what so ever. Thanks for the great mod anzacmick:up: :rock:

[redleaf]

Yep, no problems or slowdowns here either. Really makes a difference, seing some substantial damage after one of your fish has hit home.. Thanks anzacmick :up:

[Boris]

thanks for the appreiciation, ...anyone know if we could use this for different damage textures in sh3 commander...im not real flash on it:hmm:

Randomizing the textures would work with SH3Comd, but only for each time the game is loaded. The textures within a game session would all be the same...

[anzacmick]

Boris said:Randomizing the textures would work with SH3Comd, but only for each time the game is loaded. The textures within a game session would all be the same...

cheers boris....any chance of showing us all how:D ...as i said im a dummy at that sorta stuff:yep: ....but i reckon it would be a good feature to incorporate..:smug:
