No particles.dat file. :hmmm:

The distressflare.dat file does have a node with the same name as the Effect line above.

Yes ok, the effect just has to be placed in a xxxxxxx.dat file contained in the Library folder. It doesn't have to be in particles.dat. Just check that both files (distressflare.dat and flare.dat) don't have the same name for the particle node (#distress_Flare) ! It looks like that these files are redundant... :hmmm:

Yes, I thought so too but both .dat files particle generator nodes have different names.
Strange.

If the ship doesn't launch any flare when sinking, it's probably because she has no zone with the effect attached to it... (have a look in ship.zon file).

Great idea, like in AOD :03:

Right thanks. I've attached it to all the zones Hebe listed with no luck. I'll do some more digging around the ship files though, maybe there's some more zones able to be used.

:up: Lots of AOD items haven been tried to be modded into Sh3. What's interesting is that it appears many have never even played AOD. :o
Still the King of the Hill imo. :)
