Default Need some feedback about some mods.

Hiya.

Need some feedback about 2 small mods ive done. Mostley to check if people want it. Or they utterly dislike it

1.

I did a little mod before about the seafloor. It just changed the sand bottom.
But the game use 2 files. sand and stone bottom.

So i made up a stone bottom as well so it could better fit to the sand bottom.
There are a few areas where this stone bottom will show up but most of the time ingame the sand bottom will be loaded.

My intention whit this was to make a bottom that looked like mud/sediment and stone and also so it could look good on shores.
Its in 512x512 size and are framrate friendly You can se my framrate on one of the pics. 85fps and that is max what my screen can show.

First pic is the raw file that is used.




This pic show how it looks ingame and u can se my fps. its a bit dark but that is becuse my underwater visibility settings.




And the last is shown how it look like at shore. the bottom will go above water a bit into shore line. ive drawed a black line to show where it start and arrow indicate direction. Notice the difference between the opposit side of the black line.





2.
[UPDATED Whit another batch of newer damage textures in a post below]


My second little project was to try and make a damage texture that shown up on torpedo impact.

Its nearly impossible to do a damage texture that looks good for both torpedo and shell damage coz they share same file. So i did go for and tryed to enhance the torpedo damage and leave out how it looks like when a shell is hited.
I decided to make a big file 1024x1024 and 4 meg. reason for this was i wanted a higher resolution coz whit smaller the black hole was not black ingame. I could se the ship painting thrue the hole.

I simply wanted it to show up as a big fat black hole in the hull.
Even if the file is large it only loads once when you load the game. it doesnt load everytime you hit something so you wont notice any decrese performance. It also looks best on medium to large targets.

A few pics of it here as well.


Here is a medium merchant hit.




Here is a tanker hit. Dunno if it is a meduim or large tanker.




And here is a passenger/cargo ship hit.




So give me your feedback.. Good as bad.
If peeps want it released i can do so.


Vikinger.
