[REL] Unit damage from smoke and/or fires

very nice work mate. This was always annoying feature of SH3. This is no small improvement indeed

Since I play with NYGM I will provide any feedback I can. Luckily, I have a save game which has several ships on fire in NYGM. They never sink although they have large fires. I will replay this save and see how things change. Can this be added mid-patrol?

Also how does the game recognize this unique file?

Can be added/removed at any time.

It recognizes this unique file by magic...no really, I know the file system and it will recognize it

any vessel that displays fire will be affected. I hook into the effects for fire (#fire_small and #fire_big) thus anytime fire is displayed damage will be taken over time.

hmm thats realy nice, because most of the fires on playable ships are fightable, so if i manage to stop the fire (because i reduce damage of a interrior device like left engine by repairing it, i have to say that i coupled fire and explosion effects also with damage taken on devices) i would also stop the damage effect on hull`s hitpoints ?

that would be correct. Once the fire is out (effect stopped) the damage incurred from the fire will stop.

THX mate, then we have also a new gameplay element, if you couple fire effects with damaged equipment / devices in % a better trained repair crew is even more important on playable ships now !
