Waterstream & Exhaust Combi mod
 

Hello community,

for my private use I've merged Waterstream & Exhaust Mods into one combi-mod. If there is interest, I could upload it on my filefront page. From the Readme:

Waterstream- and Exhaust Kombimod V2.2 for GWX3
=======================================

This is a Combimod, consisting of the following Mods:

1. Rubinis "Water_Stream_for_Uboats_V4" (but without the contained .sim-Files, see below for details.)

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=133541

2. "Water Stream VIIC fix" from Reece&Rubini, who fixed the NSS_Uboat7c.dat.

3. XXI WATER STREAM v.2 from evan82

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=144445

4. "RBs_ES_for_Rubinis_WS" from Philip_Thomsen, who made WaterStream- and Exhaustmod compatible.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=122221

5. The 6 tga-files "XI_Exhaust_xx.tga" for the XXItaken from "RB_XXI_SDDE_ADM_1_03_any" from Racerboy.
Philip_Thomsen forgot to integrate them into his MOD.


Installation
----------
This MOD is JSGME-compatible.

Compatiblity:
-------------
* GWX2 and GWX3: YES
* GWX-MOD "VIIC41 Player Sub": NO!


Known Problems:
---------------

* Due to a bug in the NSS_Uboat2D.val file, there was no bowspray for the Type IID.
Because I'm unable to fix that bug (which is already in the original mod),
I replaced NSS_Uboat2D.val with the file contained in the WaterstreamV4-Mod.
Result: Bowspray and Waterstream is okay, but no exhaust for Type IID.

*I had come crashes in conjunction with the "Blank_campaign"-Mod


Note:
-----
I deleted the Submarines .sim-files from the WaterStream-Mod. The .sim files are not necessary for the Waterstream-effect, because they only contain little changes in the draught of the U-Boats. Reason for deleting the .sim files: The .sim-Files from the original Mod are based on old GWX 1 and have much too short ranges. For GWX2, the ranges have been drastically enlarged, but these changes have not yet been added to the Waterstream Mod.

Sure, do it. Good work.

...you can find it on my filefront-page.

Thanks h.sie

The file seems to be broken...

...sh(i)t. I'll upload it again this evening.

h.sie
Thanks; is this the same on that is on you BtS page?
Can you upload it to Subsim?

@irish: no. that's the old one. I'll inform bts-mods in the next days about the update. first I must check, why the new file is corrupted. It worked for me. maybe an upload error....

yes, i will try to upload it to subsim. never done that before

no problem If you shoot me a P.M with a link i will change it over :salute:

uploaded a new one, which works!

Got it, thanks.:woot::woot::sunny:

Its also Up on BtS-com :salute:

about IID
 

Hello h.sie

First, thank you for this work :salute:

I would like to ask you if you tested until today the IID, because for me (and not only with your mod, with the original from Racerboy too) the bowspray disappears.

I have of course exhaust smoke and waterstream but not bowspray. In fact I have not any spray, except from the tower, when deck awash or during dive, but this is an other .dat file inside Objects, right?

I found that long time ago but I was hesitating for posting. Why other people do not point on? And Racerboy didn't answer in my e-mail.

Thanks again.

oops, I did not discover that. I'll look at it the next time....

I'm also experiencing the above problem with IID.

As a temporary "fix", I removed all IID files from the mod (Submarine\NSS_Uboat2D folder and all .tgas for IID). The waterspray is back, but obviously the the waterstreams and smoke is gone for that sub.

I tested it briefly and so far so good, but I wonder if removing those files could cause some problems or conflicts?
