(Req) Mark 16...make it wakeless

Bubblehead1980 · 08-23-11, 03:27 PM

From what I read the Mark 16 torpedo was indeed wakeless.Someone was once kind enough to whip a up a mod that made the Mark 16 wakeless to the player eye but the enemy still spotted it.Could someone make it invisible to the enemy as well ? like the Mark 18? Thanks

I have already looked this issue, but I did not find the file that makes the Mk-18 torpedoes wakeless.
I circumvented the problem by increasing the range and speed of the Mk-18. Unfortunately, the amount of explosive is much lower than that of the Mk-16.

The electric Mark18 got no wake-entry in the sim-file but the Mark16 got an wake-entry in the torpedoes_US.sim !

Make a savety-copy of the sim-file and delete the wake-entry for the Mark16 and test it out.
It should be done with this cause then the Mark 16 runs like the Mark 18 !

Your explanation should be more detailed, please.
In the file Torpedoes_US.sim are four variables ShipWake, but none is clearly attached to Mk-16 torpedo.
Moreover, they all seem to have identical parameters. So what?
Thanks.

Hi,

you have to open first the Dat-file and the open the Sim.
Chose the MK16 and take the ID from this torpedo and search this iD in the Sim-file.
You will get 2 entry´s for this parent ID, one for the amun_torpedo-controler of this MK16 and another for the ShipWake-controler.
Thats the way to find out the right shipwake-controler for the MK16.

I think it is the Node 18 you have to delete.

Node 8 is the amun_torpedo-controler for the MK16.
The Parent ID is : 0x8f346dcc43bfbcb0
Node 18 should have the same Parent ID so that ShipWake-controler is the one for the MK16 !

Maddy thank you, I will make a small mod like that. I'll keep you informed.
Regards.

For Bubblehead:
Are you sure that the Mk 16 were without wake?
