Depth Charge Shake mod released

01-11-07, 09:09 PM

I just wanted to make a quick topic in this forum (in case no one here saw the other thread) to let everyone know I have made a mod that shakes the boat when being depth charged.

Depth Charge Shake v1.01 (for use with GWX)

Hello fellow SH3 players. Has it ever bothered you that when you are are being depth charged or bombed in SH3, the close falling charges or bombs never seem to shake your u-boat? Well, it has always bothered me. That gentle rocking back and forth when being blasted with depth charges just doesn't convince me of the immense danger outside of my iron tube. This mod was released to deal with that missing feature. With Depth Charge Shake v1.01, your u-boat will shake from nearby exploding depth charges... I mean REALLY shake.

If the charge or bomb explodes fairly close to your u-boat, it will shake violently. This does not automatically mean that your u-boat is taking damage, but there is a good chance that it is. Farther away depth charges may only slightly shake the u-boat or not at all. I feel this mod realistically models nearby explosion shock waves striking the u-boat and extreme compartment vibrations/ shaking .

Hopefully now you will feel like your u-boat is taking damage, and the big question... "How much longer can she hold together?". I hope Depth Charge Shake v1.01 will immerse you even more into SH3. Turn up your speaker volume and hold onto something tight!

I used to like the way the screen shook in Aces of the Deep!

This ROCKS! literally......

That mod just suits perfect with the nervous looks of the crew keeping their hands tight on solid objects.

Nice, played with this on last night. Great work.

Turkina · 01-12-07, 08:10 AM

Nice,great work.

Morts · 01-12-07, 09:04 AM

Yay!!!im gonna have to try this
now all i need is something to make navigating a little bit harder

Vikinger · 01-12-07, 09:29 AM

Nice mod and i tryed it yesterday.

But it shaked to much for my liking

I had hard time to press correct button while i had 10 wasserbombs exploding near me.
Sometimes the screen seamed to nearly flip over and be shown upside down.

I would like to ask if you can make a LIT version of this mod? I would prefer it to be tunded down for about 60%. Then you have a LIT version for thos that can easily be emotion sick and this one that i will say are for "hardcore" playing

Note also that i have changed the waves to be much bigger in game and that affect the shake even in calm weather.

It also shaked a lot when i fired a torpedo or was hit from AA guns.

Sorry for the critiscm but i do like your mod and the work you have done into it but it was just a bit to shaky for my liking

Hehe well the Vikings was most of the time so darn drunk so when they sailed in rough weather the effect of the alcohol equalized the rough weather so they allways thought they sailed in calm weather

stabiz · 01-12-07, 10:16 AM

So THATS why I didnt notice the shaking in this mod!

Morts · 01-12-07, 10:17 AM

hahaha, well it doesnt seem like they where drunk when they slaughtered the enemy.....or did it make them more effective killing machine because they got pissed faster and didn really think through what they where doing :hmm:

It doesn't seem to work? I used the generic mod enabler. Should I roll back sh commander first before enabling it? Please help, I'd really like to use this for some fun.

Vikinger · 01-14-07, 11:37 AM

What version did you download?

If you downloaded the latest version 1.03 then you have to open the folder/map then whitin that there is 3 other maps/folders. Weaker, medium and stronger depth charge. Choose the one you prefer and copy it to the mod folder. then you can enable it whit jsgme.
