Is this right????

CapZap1970 · 11-12-07, 06:26 PM

I am using Racerboy's SH4 effects (last ver.), and iIsee that when a ship explodes, the bodies thrown in the air can be counted by hundreds. :hmm:
The effects are awesome, but I was wondering if there is a way to reduce the flying sailors...
Thanks for your help my fellow kaleuns.

There has been mention of a tweak file to either reduce the numbers or remove them completely depending on preference. Nothing so far though. I think the number of bodies is tied to each explosion event, or something like that.

Whow! This way, it looks like you killed a troop transport with hundreds of soldiers on the deck.... :hmm:
Too much Hollywood I think....

I examined the files and I think that some of the particles coded as debris to be thrown by the oil explosions are actually men. Using S3ditor and reducing the debris particles from the oil explosions should solve the problem.

But I'd like there to be debris, just not unrealistic numbers of bodies!

What I mean is that some of the item generators are labeled as "debris" when in fact they are actually bodies. Deactivating these generators will only get rid of the excess bodies and not debris, so there will be no problem. There will still be a large number of correctly labeled debris generators left.

:p :rotfl: Man If I saw that I would have died laughing.

The little problem in hand is that I have no idea whatsoever of how to modify this...

Is there any chance you could give me a hand with it?
Thanks anyway.

Well war is all about killin'!

Did you really think you were just sinking Ships!

CapZap1970 · 11-13-07, 09:30 AM

Well, i've seen action, I know what war is, but in this case, it seems to be too much. I wish there was a way to have less bodies flying all over the place.

A quarter of me is sad you didn't die and the other part is happy you didn't.

Im stickin with a prior release without this effect.
My AGP card has enough work to do.

3Jane · 11-13-07, 11:54 AM

So am I. I feel the addition of flying bodies is unnecessary.

Capt. Shark Bait · 11-14-07, 06:32 PM

why would you want fewer bodies? tho this may be a game/simulation of submarine warfare, it shouldn't be sanitized. and yah, the numder of bodies shouyld be commensurate with the type of ship hit. like in the pic, you wouldn't see that many on a smaller freighter

baggygreen · 11-14-07, 07:15 PM

Thing is Shark Bait, that looks to me like a whale factory ship. Why would there be 40 or 50 on the deck at night? While the crew might be that size, they certainly wouldnt all be up on deck! hence, they shouldnt all be blown out!
