[REL] SteelViking&Community's Underwater Mod

[Oby]

Hi SteelVikking,

I'm using your wonderful Underwater mod.What it bothers me ,are that front wave splashes on sub.They are so unrealistic,that I decided to remove them.

I've tried to delete controlers for them in submarine FX file,but everytime I try to save the file(with those controlers removed) Goblin report some lost controlers.When I test in game,everything is ok ecxept sub exhaust which don't work anymore.

Please,can you explain to me how did you combine your changes in FX file with DTW exhaust changes?
I just want to remove those nasty FX_Nose_wave_Dummies or better how would I change them to look more realistic? It seems that they have no controlers except ObyectCtrlsRef...

Thank you in advance.

First I would like to note that I did not make any changes to the nose splash/wave, that is stock.

Anyway, Goblin cannot be used on the .fx files from TDW exhaust mod. It is no fault of TDW's, it is Goblin's problem, because it is not set up to handle the type of nodes that needed to be added in order to add exhaust.

Anyway, skwasjer's S3D can do everything that you need. It can open, work with, and save all of TDW's files, and mine without causing any lost controllers.

There are several pages on subsim detailing how to use S3D if you do not already. If you have any specific questions about it, feel free to ask.

Hmmm...Yes,but I can't open .fx file with default S3D editor.Can you explain how did you open .fx file with S3D?

Are there any new upgrades or is version 0.9.9 the latest version of S3D?I read about some SH5 templates for S3D?Is that what I need?

Thanks for your help.

Ahh, sorry, I forgot about that. All you need to do is this: change the file extension on the .fx files to .dat, open the file with S3D, delete the nose wave entries, save, then change the file extension back to .fx.

That should do it.

I agree with Oby, the U-Boot cut the water like a knife, therefore the bow wakes/splashes are not necessarily with the explosive SH5 stock bow splashes look

Hi tonschk

If you use SV Underwater mod,you can try this tweak.I modify .fx file for VII-A type submarine.
