Waterstream & Exhaust Combi mod

[h.sie]

Hello community,

for my private use I've merged Waterstream & Exhaust Mods into one combi-mod. If there is interest, I could upload it on my filefront page. From the Readme:

Waterstream- and Exhaust Kombimod V2.2 for GWX3
=======================================

This is a Combimod, consisting of the following Mods:

1. Rubinis "Water_Stream_for_Uboats_V4" (but without the contained .sim-Files, see below for details.)

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=133541

2. "Water Stream VIIC fix" from Reece&Rubini, who fixed the NSS_Uboat7c.dat.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=139400

3. XXI WATER STREAM v.2 from evan82

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=144445

4. "RBs_ES_for_Rubinis_WS" from Philip_Thomsen, who made WaterStream- and Exhaustmod compatible.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=122221

5. The 6 tga-files "XI_Exhaust_xx.tga" for the XXItaken from "RB_XXI_SDDE_ADM_1_03_any" from Racerboy.
Philip_Thomsen forgot to integrate them into his MOD.


Installation
----------
This MOD is JSGME-compatible.

Compatiblity:
-------------
* GWX2 and GWX3: YES
* GWX-MOD "VIIC41 Player Sub": NO!


Known Problems:
---------------

* Due to a bug in the NSS_Uboat2D.val file, there was no bowspray for the Type IID.
Because I'm unable to fix that bug (which is already in the original mod),
I replaced NSS_Uboat2D.val with the file contained in the WaterstreamV4-Mod.
Result: Bowspray and Waterstream is okay, but no exhaust for Type IID.

*I had come crashes in conjunction with the "Blank_campaign"-Mod


Note:
-----
I deleted the Submarines .sim-files from the WaterStream-Mod. The .sim files are not necessary for the Waterstream-effect, because they only contain little changes in the draught of the U-Boats. Reason for deleting the .sim files: The .sim-Files from the original Mod are based on old GWX 1 and have much too short ranges. For GWX2, the ranges have been drastically enlarged, but these changes have not yet been added to the Waterstream Mod.

Sure, do it. Good work.

...you can find it on my filefront-page.

Thanks h.sie

The file seems to be broken...

I dont know if this is a known bug or if it just happens to me but, the game crashes if i use the Type VIIC, VIIC/41 or VIIC/42.
Type IIA/D, VIIB, XIB/C/C40/D2, XXI seem to be working.

And no, it cant be any other mod, as soon as i deactivate this on JSGME the VIIC models work again.

BTW Game wont crash on load, crashes only if i try an external camera.

I would appreciate any tip on the matter, thanks.

the problem is that i did not create these mods. rubini, racerboy and evan82 are the creators!

i only merged these mods together. i'm surely not competent to fix errors.

i had some ctd too in conjunction with the "blank campaign" mod.

Hi meduza & NGT,

I was able to locate the bug regarding the missing bowspray, but I was not able to fix it, because I don't know anything about .val files. Perhaps Racerboy can help you?? He is the creator of the Exhaust mods.

So my only option was to replace the buggy .val file with the .val file taken from the Waterstream-Mod.

Result: Waterstream and Bowspray are okay now for the Type IID, but there is no exhaust.

Currently uploading the new version V2.2 of the CombiMod to my filefront-page.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Unfortunately, I have not answer from Racerboy. Probably not interested any more for SH3 modding...

Please,

Have had such message when unzipped your mod:

! C:\Documents and Settings\Lopo\Bureau\WaterstrExhaustCombiV2.2.rar: CRC failed in Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.2 for GWX3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat21\NSS_Uboat21.dat. The file is corrupt
! C:\Documents and Settings\Lopo\Bureau\WaterstrExhaustCombiV2.2.rar: CRC failed in Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.2 for GWX3\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat2A\NSS_Uboat2A.dat. The file is corrupt

How can I fix it?
Thanks a lot for all

Take care

Lopo

I took the .dat and .val files for the VIIC and VIIC/41 from the original waterstream mod and replaced the ones from your combimod and it works (without exhaust smoke, off course).

So far so good for me
