[REQ] depth charge shake mod.

[oscar19681]

One of the things really lacking in stoch sh-3 and sh-5 is that the boat doesnt shake violently when taking depth charge hits. It was present in Aces of the Deep. But i never seen it any of the silent hunter series. I read on the forum that this can be done by altering the camera files. I know there is a mod for it in sh-3. Can this be done at all in sh-5?

[The General]

Yeah, totally. I watched Das Boot the other night and those guys were thrown around like peas in a tin can! With SH5 as it is now, getting D.C'ed is really lame.

[oscar19681]

Yes indeed i felt this way since SH-2. As it is now the boat onlt rolles a bit and the crew acts as if they are on Valium.

made a small mod a few weeks ago.
It was not planned to publish this mod, that's why you won't find any documentation.

Mod is JSGME ready and tweeks the depth charge damage and shaking. The boat will rock/shake intensely when the depth charge is going off near the boat. This mod has to be considered as "beta". Some values may need some tweaking. The experience of being depth charged is a lot more dramatic and realistic (i hope) with this mod. Be aware that near depth charge explosions now do more damage!

Here's the link

Hope you like it. I still want to enhance the mod with a better depth charge - exploding sound, a more dramatic and louder one.

Edit: the filefront link is not working for me at the moment (uploaded the file a few weeks ago for internal use). Just try again in a few minutes. When the link won't work at all, i'll re-upload the .zip package in a few hours.

Edit2: Link was broken

[oscar19681]

Will try as soon as possible. Thanks for your efforts. Please develop this mod into a offcial mod . I think this is the kind of stuff that makes it into a supermod.

[oscar19681]

Tried the Link . Its boguss for me. So could you please upload the mod again? i would really love to give it a go. And if you wish ill post it as an official mod with all the credit to you offcourse.

[JotDora]

Sorry mate! thought the link would be functional again after a while.

Check back in aprox. 1 1/2 hour. I'll post the new link as soon i've uploaded the package again.

If you like this mod it would be great if it would be accessible to other users. Maybe there are some subsimmers out there who will also like it.

[JotDora]

The link was permanently broken. sorry for that.

Please try this one

If a few guys like this mod I will upload it here at subsim to keep it online.
When you have issues with this mod, please let me know. I will take care of them

[The General]

SCRAMBLED!

OMG! This works brilliantly, thank you so much

Are you able to post a video so others can see? I would if I knew how.

Just curious if this mod was tested with DD's and Corvettes yet. Too make sure they don't hit themselves with their own or other friendly charges. Should run a map at time compression a few hours with 10 dds and then 10 corvettes dropping charges to make sure they don't hit themselves. Especially the corvettes, they seem to hit themselves a lot. Even in stock only installs.

Aloha JotDora! Respect!
It´s fun! hehe
Thanks for sharing with us.
Does your mod has the same damage values as the 'U-boat Killer AI Mod'?

[oscar19681]

I tried it and its great. I tried using it with u-boats visual damge mod. I went full speed underwater so the destoyers could get me and i dont really see that the depth charger do much more damage . I allmost got no damage from depth charges at all. It was when i surfaced when i got killen later on. I just think the damage model is all screwed up from stock game . I can take way to much damage . And system damage is always minor. I always get killen because of hull integrety.

You are right.

Just happened here, 2 out of 3 DD sunk themself with their depth charges.

But they droped DC while been almost at idle ... instead of been ahead flank, don't know why.

But this mod rocks ! Was depth charged while moving inside the sub, and the shake effect made me almost falling from my chair.
