**Mod Release** Longer Torpedo Wakes v1.0

[GT182]

Good Panther, glad it went in ok. I made a mistake with the Damage textures while on patrol and accidently dragged them out. Dragged them back as installed and my GWX didn't crash either. It seems that some mods are ok to enable while on patrol. Normally I wouldn't try it only to be safe. Better safe than sorry and lose your career.

When you first start a patrol you can pick the torpedos you want to load. It the equipment section.torpedos. I changeout the ones I don't want all the time. The only time you can't is if you dock at a resupply boat or go into a base or port other than your own. But I think you know that already. LOL

If you want to install mods in the middle of a patrol, and still want to be on the safe side...simply make a backup of the entire SH3-folder in your MyDocuments.
If things go wrong, then just copy the backup back.

It's something I do after an evening of playing anyway...let the new backup overwrite the old.

Btw, thx for the torp-wake fix, Nvdrifter!
Great job.

Simple graphics changes are normally ok to do mid patrol
As are most sounds
Anything that changes any cfg's\Dats or other such file is a definate no no

I wait till in port for all changes anyway just to be safe
Can always wait a few days for any mod to be added

I agree with you 100% BBW. Better safe than sorry.

Paajtor, I do a backup but not everytime I get back from a patrol. I should tho and be safer than doing it once a week. Tho I have been backing up my HDD to an external every so often and that's just as important.

Oh well - keep posting screenshots guys, so at least I can see how this great mod looks on the forum
