[TEC] different wake for torps and periscopes

Not sure if anyone figured it out yet but here it is.

First thing is todo is copy the Wake_Torp.dds file and place it to your desktop.
Then open it up with your favorite picture editing program.
Modify it how you want.
Then rename it something like Wake_Torp2.dds when you save it. Place that back into the Data/Misc folder.
Then open the Torpedoes_US.sim file using S3D editor. Under shipwakes goto WakeTextureName name the file to Wake_Torp2.tga

As I said not sure if anyone else figured out the workaround incase you wanted to have brighter wakes on your torps without having to change the periscope wake.

The picture indicates you are moving one direction, yet the brightest part of the wake is AHEAD of you???

Or is that a torpedo wake??

the bright wake is the torp wake the lighter one is the periscope wake. Its going the right way.
