I downloaded the latest version of this that was posted in this thread.. and I was disappointed...

I've been trying to find this mod in the form it was in when I downloaded it originally- a couple of years ago now at least.. I've searched for 2 days and finally gave up, and went to bed.. Woke up the next morning actually resurrected a computer for a short time just to salvage this mod from it's hard drive.

I just had to upload it and share it to make sure this awesome mod stays out there.

This is/was " hollywood mod " at least for me.

Ships shoot up a red flare... explosions of bodies.. flailing bodies flying through the air... blood puddles... oil slicks..

Full credit goes to racerboy: http://www.gamefront.com/files/21547..._SH3_2_022.zip

Cheers!

Uhm...what you mention is still there.

[mobius 1]

hmm..
Well I was looking for the mod that had flailing bodies, more smoke/oil, and shot up red flares. The original D/L link for this thread is 404.

There is a link for another version of this mod a few pages earlier that I got to work... it had lots of smoke, but very few bodies.. and no red flares... I didn't try the "optional" part of that version though... is that where the red flares are in that version?

Hi shipmate, forgive me but I'm a tad confused. Are you saying you have tried v2.03 linked at the start of this thread. Or that you can't get it because the link is kaputski ? I ask because the link you posted (#681) is for v2_022.

If you want v2.03 you can find it on my gamefront acct here;

http://www.gamefront.com/files/21549...or_SH3_2_03.7z

Hope this helps, if I completely misunderstood you, accept my apologies

Best regards.

I'm confused. Here at Subsim Downloads there is a version labelled 7.1. It doesn't have the (and more), so should I assume it is a much older version and delete it?

For white flares (SOS), and red flares (ships sinking), you can try the optional submod for flares in LSH3 v5.1. I applied it after SH4 effects in my GWX installation, and works fine. It´s a great stuff.

Best regards.

I'd really like to add this to my current mod soup mix, but I've several questions first. I apologize in advance for these questions, as part of my mind says I should already know the answers, and another part of my mind says I should be able to figure the answers out based upon the mod-supplied readmes and instructions. Unfortunately, the bigger part of my mind (and the one that would up having me disappear for a number of years) no longer is capable of doing these things.

I've already minorly borked up my mod installs somehow by incorporating the necessary tweaks for Hsie's or Stiebler's hardcode fixes. So far those foobars have been relatively minor, such as the repetitive blank radio transmissions, floating flak towers at Kiel, and mis-sized new buttons. HW3 is graciously spending some time looking into the flak tower one for me.


My bigger questions regarding the "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3" mod are:

1. Is there a particular order, relative to the mods I already have, this should be activated via JSGME?
2. What effects (positive or negative) should "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3" have (especially sound related; ex. SH3.sdl) regarding the current mod setup I have?
3. I also have questions about the mod itself:

The mod has one main folder: RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03. Usually for mods I import, then activate, it via JSGME. However, usually mods have the file architecture of "MOD NAME\DATA\xxx"; RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 does not. Instead, within the folder RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 are subfolders:

• for GWX 1_03,
• Live_AI_ships_sounds,
• Optional,
• Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03, and,
• tweakfile.

My understanding is that I won't need "for GWX 1_03" as I'm already running GWX (Gold) 3.0. I will (obviously) need to import the subfolder "Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03" and then activate it in order to run the mod itself. I won't need "Optional" (Torpedo_damage_Final) as I already have that as a mod on its own. However, I'm not at all sure what, if anything, I should, or need, to do with "Live_AI_ships_sounds".



There are also the text files:

• How do I know if I setup new sounds correctly,
• I want sound on a ship!,
• I want the starshell gun on a ship!, and,
• Racerboy's_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03.

Racerboy's_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 is self-explanatory; its the readme regarding the mod itself. The other three seem to be similar, but applicable only for those desiring to create new (or modify pre-existing) ships, etc.

Sorry for the lengthy missive, but my mind really isn't running at peak efficiency anymore, and I really could use all the help I can get.

Danke.

The way I handled the Sh3.dsl file is that I took the Sh3.dsl file out of all the mods that had the most entries. Then I made sure that all the entries that were in the largest version had all the entries from the smaller versions. I don't remember if I had to edit it at all, but you can edit and view the file using Silent 3ditor.

After this, you just have to very methodically overwrite each mod using JSGME, and very slowly figure out what works.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Mine Gott but that made my eyes cross and water!

I'm slowly muddling along with the ones I (so far) have, trying to get all of the mods working well before valiently attempting to incorporate the hardfix coding again. So far I've encountered an interesting oddity when I added "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3":



Any idea what's causing the square artifacts when a gun is fired?

I'd say it's working right. AFAIK the squares are necessary for the animations to run. At least mine has always looked like that.
