Flares in SH3 GWX
 

I´m searching a good mod for add distress or emergency flares in the merchants/warships, for SH3 GWX 3. :06: I like the flares in SH4 TMO...

What is the best mod available for that effect?

Many thanks!

This adds damage effects from SH4 to SH3, including distress flares. The only problem is they don't fire when the ship is hit, but when it sinks.

Many thanks! Only a question: I have the Rbs GWX 30 71 rb fixed mod installed, buy I didn´t see flares in the ships. Is the same version? This 204f1 version of SH4 effects is better than the 30-71?

Regards!

No, 30-71 is newer, larger and better. I linked to the only one we have here at Subsim.

I too use 30-71, and I see flares all the time. As I said, it's annoying because they don't launch until the ship actually slips beneath the waves.

OK, but with 30-71, I don´t see flares...It seems some incompatibility between mods...

Many thanks.

I've been playing LSH v5 just recently and it has ship horns and flares that are launched when ships are under attack, I can't say I remember ever hearing ship horns with GWX but the SH4 effects for SH3 does add flares on sinking (as well as a load of other brillant effects).

It would be great to have the LSH v5 flares and horn mod for GWX.

Yes, I have LSH3 in other SH3 installation and the effects are great.

The problem is the "sh3.dl" file. It is overwrited by a variety of mods. Because I use Fm Interior with others mods and the Aces Multimod compatibility, "LifeBoats&Debris" must remain before Aces MC, but SH4 Effects must remain before LifeBoats and after those mods, the Aces MC, overwrites all. Aces MC cancel my SH4 effects...:wah:


I´ll try the horn and flares mod from LSH3 in the installation of GWX...;)

Regards.

Hi Fitzcarraldo

I added the SH4 effects after Aces Compatibility mod and they worked great, I'm sure there are some problem but I've not come across them yet.

Check out my mod list on the Oversized Emblems thread.

Do you have the flares? I have the SH4 effects after the Aces MC, some effects are there, but the flares are totally ausent...

Many thanks.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

I have red flares, wonderful explosions and a real spooky sea wind sound.

Many thanks!

Hi Fitzcarraldo

I've just appended the Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71 to the mod list below.
I know JSGME complains of clashes but the game plays well and the mod certainly provides fireworks.

JahSavage

Many thanks!

I put the LSH3 V5 Shiphorns and flares submod in my list of GWX and now I have the flares: white (alarm) and red (SOS when ships are sinking). All seems work fine. The white flares and horns are appearing with the ships undamaged.

Observe the positions of LSH3 Schiffhorns. The Spezialeeffekte Mittel is a medium pack of effects.

If you have LSH3 V5, you can try this submods. I´ll try the SH4 Effects, but if this mod have the flares when the ships go down, ths LSH3 V5 is best...

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo

This LSH sub mod sounds interesting, but I suppose the big question is, can the LSH distress flares sub mod only (i.e. no other LSH mods being used) be used with a GWX installation without any side effects? For example, does JSGME report any clashes with other mods?

Nemo

The submod (an optional for the main LSH3 V5 mod), adds flares (graphics) and some sounds (shiphorns).

I don´t observe any colateral effect. The main and more conflictive mods: Subpens, Fm Interior, LifeBoats&Debris, Depth Charge Shake, pennants and flags in the sub, open hatch, Super Turm VIIC, Ace´s Multimod compatibility, MaGUI interface (a derivative of OLC GUI), all works fine.:yeah:

Regards.
