[REL] Ship damage from fires

except there is no MinEF/MaxEF and/or MinRadius/MaxRadius values

and there is no AmmoDamageInfo in the Small_Fire_DC and Large_fire_DC nodes

or anything i recognise as relating to damage, hit points, or armor

Well now I'm stumped...it's the TDW_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_v1_3_SH4.dat you're looking into, right? I had the file open before me when I wrote down that info.

well yes, its the only file in the mod

ok then, take me thru the tree because im pretty sure i opened all the nodes and child nodes and never saw anything like that except for depth charges, there was nothing for the fires

i see nothing under "damage" nodes so are you saying he linked the depth charges to the fire so thats how he adds damage with the fires?

A picture's worth a thousand words:



I have all the relevant nodes expanded and underlined (mind you, I've modified mine slightly so the numbers will be off).

ok, the "depth charges" tag is where i was getting mixed up at so i was only looking in "fire damage"


will changing these settings effect the depth charges in the game or is this completely isolated from everything else in the game?

what im asking is this isnt connected to the actual depth charges damage dropped from ships or planes is it?


at first i had mod soup issues causing increased damage (one shot = one kill) but now that its working correctly it doesnt seam to increase damage any over stock (or at least i havent noticed any) so is that why you upped the damage on yours?

do you think your settings are about right or on the strong side (semi cheat)?

My (limited, I have to admit) understanding is that it's completely isolated from actual depth charges, this is just the means of delivering damage to the ships. What I think this mod does is make fires act as mini-depth charges, delivering their damage as long as they last.

I'm using Bilge_Rat's Longer Sinking Times for TMO2.5 mod and, while I really like the work he has done, I found that his sinking times are a tad too prolonged for my liking. Adding the Ship damage mod, along with my modifications, gives me my personal sweet spot for how fast I want the ships to sink.

thanks for the help
