By the way kriller I am using "Real Fleet Boat v1-4 031408" for 1.4. I understand if it too much to fix the problem for 1.4 and 1.5 but if its similar enough maybe its still possible. thanks.

Just wondering if anyone else experienced or has an explanation to the glitch I ran across in post#788 in this thread?:hmm:

Hiya Fish40,

I have seen a few smoke glitches but i am sure K2 and the "Crew" are trying to sort compatable issues with PE:3 with TMO/RFB/RSRDC etc

No doubt after these glitches are done we can chip in better with eye-candy issues and they will be sorted

I've got a memory like a sieve, Deleted my jsgme screenshot and redid some mods, Now i either have unsinkable ships or 1 torp mirracle sinkings lol

DB has sent K2 some SFX patch to be checked so maybe this could address your smoke prob (doubtful but hey optomism sometimes pays off)

No doubt in the grand scheme of things like always it ends up all working 100% :up:

Have Fun

Happy Huntings

Ciao

Sorry for not noticing this earler! I take it this is the post you were referring to, Fish40? Yeah, I've seen this glitch too, many moons ago in fact; it's one of the Large something Merchants that exhibits this odd behavior. I had also brought it up some time ago. What causes this glitch is unknown, but it's certainly nothing that can be solved in the file I'm working on (more likely we'll have to dig into that ship's .dat file, and that's uncharted territory for me).

ETA: If I'm not mistaken, this is what Fish40 means:

:hmm: Look like something Nisgeis could take a look at maybe, it looks like the smoke have a wrong x - coordinate / position in the ships data file?

BTW a new patch have been added on page 1, to those who had issues with the shell hits and using PE3 with TM.

If memory serves, when I posted this question a while ago, whoever replied said he didn't see this problem. So I wonder if it's anything in NSM or RSRDC that's causing it, since both I and Fish40 use those mods :hmm:

ETA: a quick scan of both the aforementioned mods doesn't reveal any modified .dat file for the ships, only .zon (NSM) and .sns (RSRDC). The plot thickens...

ETA #2: The ship in question is most probably the NKLCS_Nagara. Hope this helps.

A few days ago I was messing around with the Type XVIII in a mission. I had the caustics, bubbles, and roll pitch enabled. What followed was some very weird and comical behavior. A screenshot won't help much because you really gotta see it for yourself. The Type XVIII almost behaves like a cork when surfacing. Also, it has trouble maintaining depth control.

To make smoke, the funnel 3d object has the 'obj_Funnel' sim controller attached to it,. There are no positions for the particle effect (all effects in particle.dat are uniform for each ship). I can only assume the location for the effect is worked out as a certain offset inside the game from the funnel's origin, which is on a model by model basis. I think this is a bug with some of the stock ships - only way to be sure is to uninstall the mods.

Uninstall the mods...? No thank you, I'll pick this instead: :/\\chop

I wonder, does the .zon file contain the zone information for the funnel? If the game is reading the funnel position from the zone file, then that may explain it.

You don't have to keep the mods uninstalled, just long enough to see if that ship goes back to having proper smoke.

Yes I know, that's why I chose this: :/\\chop

Otherwise I'd have chosen this: :gulp:

:rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl:

On to topic again, ok Nisgeis, then it's the same thing we have run into with the reflection mod, a stock 3d-issue, which we can't change :damn:

Oh...bummer that.

That's it exactly Dr. Beast:yep: Not a real show stopper, heck at this point I'm overjoyed that this mod is running better than expected for me. :up: So far, no real loss of FR! I'm happy because in the past I was useing Dave's original stuff, and didn't want to give that up! Kriller and the rest, my hat's off to you guys. Great job:rock:

Ok now i am totaly confused :cry: i have been away fro a week and now.......... i am runing the lastest version of TMO + RSDC + now the awesome ROW PE 3_3 + the
