Thank you in advance
Unfortunately, there is no Wiki for modding SH3, althought it would be so useful...

Now, I guess that you have to learn by yourself, as I did, and ask precise questions when you are (really) stuck somewhere.

When modding SH3, you really have to know how to use JSGME and S3D.

Also, you can search in the forums here at Subsim, I'm sure you wil find many answers to your questions.

About water splashes, in short, you have to create a new Particles generator with your own parameters and place a copy of it everywhere you want on the submarine's hull. Also, you have to add a controller which will start this generator only when its height is under 0. Also, a Floating controller IIRC. Just observe how it's done in SH3 files, and try to mimic.

Finally, I want to warn you that creating a good particles effect is a very hard and time consuming task, even when you are well experienced... So, if you have a bunch of free hours and a strong desire of success, you might manage to do something which will be good enough for your taste.

Good luck!
