I have gone through this thread and going by what others have posted I'll say no for now, nothing out of the ordinary (yet). ;)

If I might suggest; I think I have the current beta, but it's hard to tell. When you post a new release could you maybe anchor a link in the very first post?
Thanks for the work again!

hmm...I wonder if my ship is supposed to be breaking in two and shooting fireballs.

:o ................:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Just check YouTube for samples such "artic convoy", PQ 17 to see realistic smoke.

HI RACERBOY!!!!!!
:up: :up: :up: :up: :up: I like this exellent MOD

Observed an interesting explosion playing the game last night while spider attacking a huge convoy.
The first hit was on a celt tanker - just as the torpedo hit there looked to be a smaller fireball of sorts. Color was the same as the explosion-fire effects in this mod. And I could swear, it had a sound effect along with it. Everything else seemed to work. Happened fast, didn't get a screen.
Racerboy is this what you were talking about?

I took a break from work & tried this (also just upgraded from 1 to 2 gb memory), very impressive RB .... you are gonna find it hard to improve it now!:yep::up:

RB (and OLC for the sea textures) - awesome mod !:sunny: :sunny:

What you probably saw was the small Oil fire and smoke that I added on torpedo impact. It lasts for only a very short time (1-1.5 seconds). What did you think about it? Look good or bad? I was trying to simulate the initial explosion by the torpedo. What depth did you have this torpedo at when it hit the ship? There is an effect choice added that below a certain depth it will do the depth charge explosion in place of the small oil fire and smoke on initial impact. You might have seen this depth charge explosion effect. Did you see debris flying through the air on torpedo impact? If not then the depth charge explosion effect was used by the game.

I second that; I would like a little less smoke. As it stands now it is about right for old coal-burning ships but it doesn't seem right on modern vessels. Less smoke would be a decent average value, I think.

Request!
 

Well, I tested this on a freighter loaded with ammunition and I was blown away (pun intended). I have a request - Racerboy, can we please have a lot of secondary explosions after you hit a ship? One of the things I liked about Silent Hunter 2 was that you would randomly hear several explosions minutes or even hours after you torpedoed a ship. These explosion effects simply put the original graphics to shame, so I'd like to see a nice big fireball pop up from time to time as a ship goes down - maybe it could represent different tank sections or ammo lockers detonating in sequence. I understand it's a lot of work, and if you could spend time on this (or point me in the right direction) I'd be grateful.

Well, I have seen the sea textures and flaming debris so far. I have been stuck in either stormy seas or rain/fog for the last week (game time) and have only found two small freighters. So I have yet to see the rest of the effects :-?

A most brilliant idea! Plus it gives me an excuse to play with an effects controller I haven't used yet. I will see what I can do.

:rotfl:
I've had the opposite problem. Dead flat sea and sunny skies for 2 whole patrols, and big unescorted convoys shadowed and damaged by wolfpacks.

It does wonders for your renown score.:D

I've been following this thread since it began and I'm a little confused about latest version and download link. The first post says "Version 1.00 ALPHA", but the download link takes you to the filefront.com's homepage rather than to the file. Post #130 in this thread indicates the latest version is 1.06, but the download link is the same as for Version 1.00 ALPHA shown in the first post of the thread.
