Just an idea...
 

Hi all modders,

Something i find is missing ingame, even with actual mods (at least never found one for that - even FX):

- When a torpedo hit the boat, we should see a pretty big water spray (ok, depending the torpedo depth hit), but actual water spray is way too small not to say almost inexistant IMO...

Would be great to have a mod for this rendering :yep: at least like the DC rendering...

I'm completely unable to make a mod :oops: so i'll let you this honor :D

already done.. FXUpdate..
but there is one small issue, you can see water splash close to victim only.. I think not more than 1.5-2 km.. you can ask TDW in what range you can see it..

Exactly, I was going to say the same :03:

Yet, there's probably space for some improvement. Threads were the topic had been previously discussed (with footage and pictures):

I'm using Torpedo splash.. there are several textures only..

Long ago I had done splash textures which imo were looking far better than the ones by sergei. Should look for them on one of my external HD's.

Nonetheless, better textures are only a tiny part of how torpedo splash appearance. This aspect needs to be addressed through its respective particle generator :yep:

Well, using FX of course, this effect looks unfortunately ridiculous on my rig.
Even close!
In real, i'm sure we should see huge water spray (as on some historical photos/videos)...

But maybe it's again Nvidia related? :06:

Do you think i can enable Torpedo Splash mod with my list?
It says "Tested with SH5 ver 1.1.5"...

I have an ATI gfx card, and though not being exactly "ridiculous", the FX update torpedo splash effect don't get even close to the one seen from original photos and videos :yep:

You can try that mod. It only changes few dds files and should be compatible with any SH5 version.

Don't expect too much anyway ;)

Thanks, so i'll give it a try soon.

I've opened those dds files with my photoshop, and i noticed the too much greyish color...maybe i can whiter them a bit?

dds files called vertical splash are not that vertical...as large as vertical:hmmm:
Maybe we could make them less wide and more high? :D

Torpedo splash enabled but it is almost not visible on the FX background..
And no, you can't just make a texture higher and narrower..

:o A lot better than what i had experienced so far! :up:
Can't wait to see that.

There was Old Style Explosions also :yep:

Can i enable "old style explosion" and then "torpedo splash" on top of my list without issue? :-?

I don't remember exactly.. probably I had edited something long ago..
just try to enable and you will see..

Ok, thanks Volodya :salute:
I'll test it and report back.

I always hated the explosions in SH5, even with the old style explosions mod. The plumes of fire and smoke that appear upon impact look so low-resolution that it seems like a very poorly done sprite.
