Propeller Particle Effects? - Page 2

Demonizer · 08-09-08, 04:14 AM

I didnt notice much differnce in FPS. Atm im sorta experimenting with the propeller particles trying to make them flow more fluid with the propellers rotating, ive almost got it sorted so its like this.

Well little update, its been a bit of a nightmare trying to get the effect i want as you can see from these screeshots.

The particles need to start at a set postion and rotate but im having trouble in finding the correct values for this to happen, it always seems to want to cone outwards. And the particles are having trouble keeping up it seems is well, even at 5000 particles per second it still emits patchy. Its like the smaller the particle you set it at the harder it becomes to keep up and the higher you go on the creation rate and maxparticles the more it becomes patchy unable to flow.

Anyone who can help on this is welcome its alot harder than i first thought.

Awesome!!! I don't know if any of you guys saw it, but I had a whole thread devoted to cavitation and making it better in game. The whole thing turned into a scientific debate about how the fleet boat props cavitated in real life...

Anyways, keep up the good work!

Try get help from Nisgeis, he is very skilled for working with the particle generator and made the new shell effects for PE 3.3. :hmm:

btw It looks good keep up the good work.

Hello there , I know this is not very much important detail , but I want to show that the propeller installed in the sub by UBISOFT is upside down , and must be installed ( I know is not possible ) the other way around , please see the photo below

Cool

ivank · 08-11-08, 11:33 AM

will this work with the u-bootes?

W4lt3r · 08-11-08, 11:53 AM

I think the U boats and fleet boats use same cavitation effect so i'd presume it'll work with U-boat Expansion pack aswell.

I'm more than willing to help with this, if you'll let me take a look at what you already have. As I understand it, you want the cavitation to stay as a cylinder, described by the propeller's edges, with a collapse of the water vapour bubbles after a brief period of time?

Let me know if you'd like some help

Hi Demonizer,

when did you finish this nice Bowwakesplash ?

I need it cause it looks so realistic.

Try this:

And this is the mod that implements the fix:

Be advised that compatibility problems may occur with mods like PE (as it also modifies the sub files)

Thank you very much , already enabled , now the propellers are spinning and working 100% properly , almost two years to fix the problem of the SH4 propellers , thank you very much

Ok well heres the bow wave, i lost the one in the screenshot after i accidently deleted it,

so i had to remake it.

This is free to use in any of the mega-mod packs.
