[TEC] No Funnel smoke.

[Fearless]

Hi all, I loaded the BB Missouri by bismarck1011 but it has no funnel smoke. Is there a way this can be fixed?

Thanks heaps.

I'm not a mod, but Fearless has only started three threads in the past year. Not sure what your problem is.

Ok - I apologize.
Maybe I have overreacted on my part...

I will delete my posts in this thread and hope we find peace again.

Conversation closed. After numerous searches prior to adding this post, I've had no luck regarding finding posts on adding smoke so I've removed the Missouri from my mods file and have added the Montana instead.

I've made the Montana career playable in Ralles RealModPack for TMO_RSRDC_OTC .

I experimented with surface water units myself last year.

I have been revealed more fundamental mistakes of the game, which can not be solved easily.
Therefore probably my exaggerated reaction to this thread.

@Fearless
If interested, I can upload you said files, maybe you have use for them.

That would be great. Thanks

So - I've taken the whole bundle now and just upload it.
The dll I send you then by pn.

As I said, I was not satisfied with the results, so I dropped the project.
But maybe you find use interesting for one or the other part and make your own mod out of it.
If necessary, however, I would still have to search and provide the credits together.

Hope this helps you somehow.

Thanks. Have downloaded it.

The issue was the the Data > Submarine > USA_Iowa.sim
3-bj_Funnel
4-bj_Funnel

both funnels had the wrong Parent I.D numbers. So the .sim had no links to the main ship model, and did not know where to put the smoke.

So I had to go to the Data > Submarine > USA_Iowa.dat to retreive the correct ID's from each Funnel [Cos1 & Cos2 ]



You may need to find a darker smoke effect tho. This was done in SH4 - Stock.. Hope this helps.

Download here from google-drive with smoke working.

Very much appreciated with your help s7rikeback. I’ve corrected it on my save and works now.

I copied the particles.dat file out of TMO and that darkened the funnel smoke.

Also career playable in Ralles RealModPack for TMO_RSRDC_OTC .

Glad to see you got it sorted.

They are not compatible.
I would generally omit the particles.dat in your mod as they interact with others such as the materials.dat and the scene.dat of the particular game.

Ralles RealModPack has its own particles and materials.dat, which are coordinated.

Thanks Bleiente. You are correct. I've omitted the particles.dat file and all is good.

Now to work out why the secondary cannons (the ones on the port and starboard sides) only fire for a short time then stop completely even after giving them plenty of ammo.
