It's my own gui made up of a mishmash of lots of stolen stuff (yes, including some stuff from yours RB :))

I probably spent more time messing around with menu_1024_768.ini and dials.cfg than any other SH3 files :roll:

My smoke looks the same as before, I'm not sure this mod is working on my GWX 1.03 installation.

Is there any combination of mods which might stop this one from working properly, or is there a particular order in which this mod must be activated in relation to other mods. These are the mods I have activated.

The mod is working, you just haven't arrived at one of the ported functions yet. What OLC posted was from a small_splinter_explosion.
Let me give you all an update. I ported the smokes and fires except for the oil ones which I will finish up today. I'll release another version after that. I have fixed the smoke problem that people report when someone tries to port the smoke from SH4. Let me know what you think about this (it includes small & large fires and small & large smokes in the screenie):

Thanks, I just wasn't sure. It all should look great, nice work.

Much progress was made today. I would say I'm about 65% complete on the porting of the particles.dat and materials.dat from SH4. The results are incredible. Here is my deck gun attack on a small tanker:

and the nice oil slick left behind as it was sinking:

The best eye candy I'm saving for last and will come tomorrow.......

Here is version 1.05 Alpha.

*** Racerboy's SH4 effects and more for SH3

Thanks RB, will try it out when I get some time!;)

this mod is wonderful!:o :o :o :o ..someone knows if it is compatible with War Ace Campaign??

It seems like an FPS killer...... anyone has tested it?:hmm:

it's compatible with all versions of SH3. It's just the particles.dat and materials.dat ported from SH4 for SH3.
It's not an FPS killer either. It will cause the FPS to go down slightly but nothing that will cause the game to stutter at all.

Can't wait to get home to see the effects. Saved yesterday night while in the Med in good range ahead and 90° off a British attack group with two battleships. :arrgh!:

you can install this mid-game. You don't have to wait till you get to port. Send me some screenies if you don't mind of the carnage with this attack group. :yep:

Sweet!
 

Keep up the good work!

Can't wait to see the most impressive effect tomorrow. :rock:
