I hope everything will work soon :)..

Yeah, Gabriele! We did it again! :yeah:

Have I told you that I'm a stubborn guy? :haha:

Good work :up: The best part of it all is you learned something :D If you're not learning something new everyday you're wasting your life away!

When you decide on final values send them to me and I'll make an add-on for FX_Update to give user longer viewing distance for this.

:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

You got to teach me how you converted from decimal to hexadecimal without using my lame trick :03:

You didn't need to demonstrate it. I knew it very well yet! :D

:haha:

definitely true!

I only wish we could make torpedo splash to look more as seen in the following video (skip to 2:16):

compare them with one of the screenies posted by Volodya:

Imo the water column should be higher and more tapered on top, with later water sprinkles not exceeding in height the main column. Moreover, the material currently used looks more as smoke than as vapourized water. I think we should make brighter and with sharper edges. Finally, dark smoke should be increased, as well as the red particles from fire and explosions :hmm2:

Thank you TDW :)
Hear praise from you is an honor for any modder of SH5 small modders community..

OK, as soon as I carefully test it all and stay on certain values​​, I will send you the files :up:

Making new torpedo splash is not hard. I'll play around with it :up: I just needed something to see so I can make it.

Thank you TDW, this is exactly what I needed for :yeah:

Have a look at the footage I have linked in my previous post. It is one of the very few color videos recording German torpedoes in action (in slow motion). Impressive :yep: :arrgh!:

If you mean this trick -
I can tell you - your way is much easier and simpler than way I've used in my first steps in HEX.. some guys on hackzone.ru teached me a little but their way is too difficult so later I used yours..

:D

Tell me how and I will try :up:

Thanks a lot for this :up:

exactly that one :yep:

:smug: :har:

I hope you have saved the tool pointed by TDW on your HD by now :03:

Not that easy. For a start, we should disable all the particle generators used by TDW for his torpedo splash effect, and re-enable them one by one to see what is their effect in game. A quick way to do it could be setting their opacity scale to 0 :hmmm:

My pleasure :salute:

A while ago I had posted it in the historical guns specs, but you were probably in vacation from SH5 modding :)

You guys are awesome!! :sunny:
Can't wait to try new torp effect :yeah:

:yep:

Okay, I will try.. I think we are concerned with the TorpExplosionGreat :06:

Probably :)

Each particle generator got its own work (possibly one for the water column, one for vapourized water, one for dark smoke, etc), but they all get mixed in the final effect. Keeping all of them active might confuse us. Better editing them one by one, and temporarily disable the remaining ones. I agree with you that TorpExplosionGreat is the best candidate to start with :up:

Well, I'll start soon.. not today :D..

@ Fifi

I can send you edited files to test If you will test them extensively :D..

Take it easy :up:

Okay :)

BTW have you noticed TDW's converter has revers conversion.. I mean - 1000 to HEX is 00 00 7A 44.. FloatConvert did it so - 1000 → 44 7A 00 00
