Okay, Gabriele.. now choose the texture that is to remain and I'm ready for the second act of the ballet - TorpExplosionSplash Generator

PS: have you any ideas about 'water reflection'?

EDIT: I like 02

I would have trusted you, if only you told me which one you prefer

Yes, 02 is good, but I don't dislike 03 and 04 either

What do you want to know about it?

If it's adjustable in regard of fog intensity
No fog=full water reflection
fog=very little reflection...i suppose.

so, we are talking about ship reflections?

Last one, of course.. angles 11/15

Yep.. mixed up a little..

Maybe it's time to send me new splashvert texture?

I don't think we can dim the effect at night or on heavy fog through the WaterReflection controller (by editing water shader maybe, but I don't understand much about them). Yet, I am quite sure that we can switch it off at long range. Have a look at this thread, please:

Packing them right now

[gap]

Here they are:

http://www.mediafire.com/?d4gczs1cocvx24h

The pack includes SplashVert and SplashVertAdd teextures. Look at file suffixes:

01 long splash version
02 short splash version

Test both of them, please

I think, 02 or 03

Thank you
Sure I will test all what you've done for us.. as always..

PS: could you look at this files, please.. it's from OHII.. looks like something wrong with the .dat file.. I can't merge its .sim to it.. some objects lost in the model.. - http://rghost.ru/46006797

Yes, after a second look, it must be one of them

The funnel smoke controller is pointing to a parent which is not existing in the dat file. Now the curious thing is that that boat didn't get any funnel. In OH's version of her, the controller is absent. Who added it? Where are the files you have linked in your previous post coming from?

I don't know who added funnel controller.. the files are from OHII v2.2.. except funnel_smoke.dat.. though funnel_smoke also included in OHII because many Japanese ships were edited by Uekel for compatibility with HanSolo's mod..

The sim file you have sent me contains one obj_Funnel and two WaterReflection controllers which, I repeat, are absent from OH's version of the same file. I am sure about it.

There are two possible fixes for your files: either remove the lost controller from the sim file, or add a new node to the dat file, move it around the 3d model where you think the exaust would have been placed (no funnel of that boat), and then give the obj_Funnel controller the same parent Id number as the Id number of the new node. You should also create a new smoke effect especially for that boat, because one wouldn't expect an exaust to emit the same quantity of smoke than a funnel. As for this last task, you can take inspiration from TDW's sub exaust mod.

Sorry, Gabriele.. my bad.. it was HanSolo's or Uekel's file.. just figure out it.. too many folders, too many projects, too many editions..
You know what I mean

OK, thanks.. I'll try..
It's time to learn S3D..
But I will ask you questions, if I'll not sort it out
