I see. Probably an error in your way to hex-edit the file. We should ask TDW about it :hmm2:


maybe this one...

corresponds to the small version of the following texture:

but this other one:

...look more like this:

(look at the water cones below the splashes) :03:

No.. file was workable.. and all the changes worked.. as soon as I added new texture to the Materials.dat as file become unworkable..

No, it was the same texture - TDW_FXU_SplashVert_03.tga :hmmm:..
Just different effects, on the first screen - Initial, on the second - Delay..
This time I took fresh original file and added only this texture..
I don't understand anything more :nope:.. corrupted JSGME work? corrupted game's root folder?

And again new strange thing, I'm not able to remove ParticlesGenerators from the Particles.dat as I already did before - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...6&postcount=64

I removed them using S3D but in the game I still can see all the effects..
Maybe it's time to give up :03:

Volodya, I am sure: the effect portrayed in the second screenie of my previous post derives from either TDW_FXU_SplashVert_01.tga or TDW_FXU_SplashVert_02.tga. If you look closely at it you will agree :yep:

NEVER! :D

I can see it as good as you.. but.. both screens were taken in a few seconds between them.. at that moment Materials.dat contained only TDW_FXU_SplashVert_03.tga.. it was fresh Materials.dat and I've added only one texture..

Yeah.. you know.. sometimes.. :dead:
:)

-------------------------------------

This is some kind of mysticism..
I was beginning to think that I'm so stupid and have checked everything and each file 2-3 times..
Reload all the mods (disable/enable) twice.. reload the PC twice..
Now I'm able again to remove out Generators from the Particles.dat.. and able to add any textures to the fresh files.. the same files! (not others)..

And I still don't know by what reason all these happened..

In a half hour I'll upload new screens for thinking.. :)

new series - (after gave up :rotfl2:)

As you can see, water splashes are visible on the dark background only in both cases.. they are practically invisible at a distance and on the explosion background.. can you do something with it? maybe to increase slightly the filling by white or rather gray splashes, like it was on stock textures? because white is not visible on the explosion background..

What will you say?

TorpExplosionWaterDrops

TDW_FXU_SplashVertAdd_02.tga

Makes much more sense now :up:

No doubt, I vote TDW_FXU_SplashVert_03.tga :yep:

I can increase texture's opacity slightly. But have yo checked it global far distance first?

This definitely needs for a new texture. Is the same texture used by any other particle generator? :hmm2:

:up: agree

Yes, I'll post some screens in an hour..
I'm able now to add new textures to the yesterday's (already edited) files and it will not take much time..
I think something wrong with my PC.. probably sometimes there is some kind of software conflict.. who knows.. now I know that PC's reload enough to solve all the last issues with HEX, controllers etc..

No one in the TDW_FXU_Torp_Explosion_Particles or Materials..

EDIT: maybe would be better if I send you my edited files, so you could to see new effects in action :06:

u guys are working hard :) some date for releas ?

PS. Nice job all respect from my side

:yeah:

Okay, I will think about an appropriate texture for the water drops effect. :up:

Unfortunately my overheating problem is getting worse. I cannot test stuff which will take longer than 5 minutes in game :-?
Once and for all I should decide myself to open the case of my laptop, or to buy a new computer...

Not yet, but we are getting close, I think :03:

Thank you, your nice words are very much appreciated here :salute:

As you can see, initial effect more or less acceptable.. delay effect needs to be adjusted.. maybe some settings needs to edit.. though perhaps everything might be fixed with the texture editing..

guys if i can help u with a photo gallery where u can upload the photos let me know all it's free i have a hosting and there is some unused space :)

Have a nice day

a little more pics with the delay effect -

Thank you for the suggestion :yeah:
Honestly, there are many free hostings around here.. :)

I like the initial effect, but I agree that the delayed one is too blurry... I would try reducing a bit generator's emission area (for both delayed and initial) and delayed particle's size.

I don't think so. Both effects use the same texture but, I repeat, from what I can see the intial effect looks detailed and realistic enough. I can increase a bit the opacity of the texture, through its alpha channel, but imo the main approach should be through particle generator's settings :yep:

here it is

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?m9mb4adqj1myo47

Amother modification of TDW_FXU_SplashVert_03. This time I have skewed a bit the texture and lowered it a bit, in order to reduce the empty space at its bottom left corner. Alpha opacity unchanged. I hope you can appreciate the difference:

Reduce size? ok, I'll try that..

:up:

I'll try both textures and other suggestions.. emission area and particle's size.. will report soon..

On the other side, we can try to appoint a different textures for both effects :hmmm:

What do you think?

Let me know :up:

Yes, we can. But what is the advantage? Have you any particular idea in mind? :hmm2:
