Just reviewed Albrecht von Hesse's WIP mod...
The SH3 engine will not 'see' things created by particle generators, and so his mod would result in a visual effect only. For that reason, and apart from the obvious visual effects, I believe that his testers may have been observing natural behavior by the AI... as if his mod were not present.
If someone were to experiment with accoustic disturbances, I think they should take a look at the files responsible for the BOLD device... and consider melding its effects with depth charge physics.
HOWEVER!
< Stern warning! >
ALL things concerning AI perception of the environment are finely balanced and are interdependant in numerous ways... ANY change will result in a deficit somewhere. One can EASILY destroy AI effectiveness and cause the simulation to be a threatless cake-walk.
