The orange and yellow smoke has been fixed so that it is black or grey, and the speed that it rises has also been fixed.
Tweak file will be included with the official release version.

Excellent work Racerboy.

One more thing I want to pester you about, Racerboy - can we please have gigantic orange-red secondary explosions like the ones you get as soon as you torpedo a tanker? Seeing a bunch of extra fireballs tearing apart a ship would be absolutely wonderful. If it seems excessive, maybe some of the secondary events could call for the current (little) explosions, while others could be big ones.

I'll second that.
(Man, I would not want to be on that ship ....!)

That would be neat too, but could it be randomized since not all tankers carried volatile cargo. Just a thought to keep in mind.

Racerboy,

I've been out of the SH3 world for a little while due to surgery and finely got back to playing with your beta. I was looking over your sounds and thought that you might be interested in Sound for SH3 GWX pach 1.03 from Poul - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=120441 I've used it for quite sometime and can't play the game with out it!

[brotebjo]

This was perhaps the most impressive action that I've seen out of SH4 Effects Beta 2. I just wish that I had gotten in closer for the screen capts. The victim was a CD Destroyer hit with a magnetic torpedo amid ship.

[coronas]

A serie of images: Torpedo impact, fires; after two minutes: four big explosions.










More I see, more I like effects
Cheers!!

Currently using the Alpha version and love the effects .. Nice Job Racerboy

waiting patiently for the next release as everyone else ................

Just a quick question ..... That smoke really goes up in the air HIGH .... Standing on the bridge admiring the destructive work my crew done and watching that smoke climb higher and higher I always wonder if it can be seen by patrols ( air and sea ) out of range of my sensors ? .................

Sometimes I'll dive and watch from periscope view but on those rare days when its calm I just float there and all of a sudden get Air craft spotted sir ! Nice knowing ya ! ..............

Well, historically, that was absolutely true and possible. Many stricken ships were 'found' by nearby convoys or escorts due to the amount of smoke coming from the battle.

Whether the game models that or not (probably not) would be interesting to know...
