[WIP]: Starshells for GWX
 

Currently I'm adapting a Starshells - Mod for GWX3 similar to the mod Stiebler did for NYGM.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=158242

I really like these starshells, they look nice during a night convoy attack. But don't know if it is realistic. So my question is: Are they historically correct? And if yes: Which ships should be equipped with them?

Stiebler equipped only merchants. What about warships and escorts?

-----

I also want to import ONLY the nice red distress flares (when a ship sinks) from Racerboys SH4 mod into GWX3, but without all the other explosion effects (GWX3-explosions look better in my opinion). Unfortunately my knowledge with Materials.dat and Particles.* is not sufficient to do that alone. Does anyone know how to handle this?

i would help. BUT compared to wac 4.1, gwx sux...

sorry, but the truth.

Now now. It's christmas time and all.

Hi urfisch.

Our preferences regarding supermods seem to be very different. I perfer GWX or perhaps NYGM.....

But thanks for your offer to help me. I already know how to add the Starshell-Gun to the ships (.eqp files).

But I don't know how to modify the GWX3 Materials.dat and Particles.* in order to import ONLY the distress flares of the SH4-effects-Mod into GWX.

I don't want to use the Materials.dat and Particles from the SH4-effects mod, because I perfer the GWX explosions and effects.

Do you have an idea how to do that? I guess the distress flares are coupled with some explosion- or sinking events, but I've never worked with events, effects and materials.

Hello h.sie,

maybe you contact "Matz1962" via ubi.com (please in German :D).
He did the adaption of Racerboys MOD for LSH3.
