[REL] Longer wake for ships/subs mainly for TMO1.7

[Vikinger]

Hi

So i decided to release thos ships and subs ive been working on.
I was planning to do a release that was compatible whit all major mods but i gave up that idead. So instead of scrapping what ive done i finished it of so it supports at least TMO1.7

The rar file comes whit a additional mod you can install if you like.

Here is some info from the readme files:

Longer Ship/Sub Wake V1, LSW, Silent Hunter4, V1,5 TMO1.7

DESCRIPTION:
This mod gives Longer wakes for Ships and Submarines.
I have changed the VAL files for every ship/submarine that had one attached.
You will se much longer wakes than stock. 4-8 times longer.
This is not near a perfect wake mod and some ships might look odd during some narrow turns.
And it looks real bad when they go reverse. But so they did in stock
However every ship have been individualy tested so they look "descent".
Some ships share same VAL file and thos ships have not been tested so i cant guarantee how they
will look like.
TO A GREATE EXTENT I RECOMEND THAT YOU USE TMO 1.7 AS BASEMOD
And also latest Real Enviroment mod cuz there is 2 files that i used when i did this mod
wake_front.tga and wake_back.tga that is included in that mod.
I will not provide thos files. But it works ok even whit the stock files.
I also used 2 mods that CAPTAIN COX made, that i got the approvment from WEBSTER to use.
I simlpy wanted some transparent conning tower and bow wakes and WEBSTER could provide me whit them.
KRILLER2 also gave his approvment to use his excellent Bowwave but since i cant change the file and get the transparent look i wanted i decided for Captain cox.
But BIG thank you to WEBSTER and Captain cox and also Kriller2 for thier corporation.
I appreciate it guys.

TESTING GAME/MODS:
Tested and made on SH4 V1.5 whit TMO1.7 + RSRDC_TMOv163_V410 + Latest Real Enviroment.
The Ships VAL files are from TMO1.7
Tested on SH4 V1.5 whit TMO1.7
Not tested on RFB.
Not tested on stock 1.4
Tested on stock 1,5 and it looked ugly so install it on your own risk.
To some extent its tested on Opmonsun BUT whit TMO1.7 as basemod and RSRDC but i have not made any changes or provided any ship/submarine files that mod have.
If you dont have the ships the mod provide the mod will create the ships folders but they will act as
a "dummy" folder and will not affect your game.

INSTALLATION:
Its JSGME Compatible
If you dont want to use CaptainCox ImprovedBow Wave Transparent file delete this folder/file before
you install the mod: Longerwake V1_TMO1.7/Data/Misc/Wavefoam.dds
If you dont want to use CaptainCox Bow-Conning Foam file delete this folder/file before
you install the mod: Longerwake V1_TMO1.7/Data/Textures/Tnormal/tex/bubbles_01.dds


-------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is the additional mod:

Ship Displacement Variation V1 SDV, Silent Hunter IV

This mod gives more variation to ship displacements.
I have changed the CFG files and changed/added Displacementsvariations on all
ships. All variations is in 10% of the ships standard displacements value.
You will notice a more variation on sunk tonnage for same ship type.
It also fix some abnomitets that i found like a DD that had 3000 renown value.

TESTING GAME/MODS:
SH4 V1.5
TMO1.7 + RSRDC_TMOv163_V410
The Ships CFG files are from TMO1.7
But iam sure it will be compatible whit other mods as well that use this type of ships.
And if you dont have the ships the mod will create the ships folders but they will act as
a "dummy" folder and will not affect your game.

INSTALLATION:
Its JSGME Compatible

Note:
I hope i could use this files whitout permission. I really dont have a clue who have made what for all this files.
But my thoughts goes to the Shipbuilders.
If you feel i have done something wrong and used some files whitout permission, feel free to contact me and i will correct it. And i apologize in advance.
