Please don't quote me on this as I am not 100% sure, but if you want to see big fires and explosions you can use the GWX Special Effects Mod http://files.filefront.com/GWX___Spe.../fileinfo.html

When I edited the GWX v.1.03 Zones.cfg file I found this:

" GWX Damage Model version 1.9
February 2007, by VonHelsching

Plus GWX Airpower, "Burning Ships fix" and numerous ship, cargo and
airplane fixes by VonHelsching

Plus GW1.1a U-boat Damage Model based on "Holywood" mods by gouldjg

Plus GW1.1a "Hollywood" effects "
And from that I think that GWX v.1.03 contains Hollywood effects.

I have no idea. Best though to wait until you're in port and have the SH3Cmd rolled back (just to be safe)

All I know is that I had the hollywood effects (men flying through the air), now I don't, is it in the zones.cfg file?

Thanks.

I think they are, but if you need more info you better PM VonHelnsing who made the damage model in GWX.

Look at this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=109698 there is a list of changes from GWX v.1.02 to v.1.03. Hollywood effects are in zones.cfg file, that file I couldn't found on this list that been changed. If you have a Hollywood effects in v.1.02 then you should have it in v.1.03.:hmm:

Reece,
Yes, this is all in the zones.cfg file.

GWX has always had some of the code from gouldjg's old hollywood mods, which is why its listed in the zones.cfg file (as poor sailor indicated). However, gouldjg created a mod with additional crew explosions, secondary sinking explosions and bigger fires for GWX (this is the mod melnibonian listed in his post).

There have been no changes in zones.cfg between 1.02 and 1.03, so that upgrade by itself, should not have the effect you cited. I would suggest just applying gouldjg's mod (It consists ONLY of the zones.cfg file) and you should get the effects you want. The mod was actually made for GWX 1.0, but the changes made in zones.cfg between 1.0 and 1.02 were minor (an attempt to cut down on flooding effects of extreme bow/stern hits I believe), so you can still use it with no ill effects.

AFAIK nothing was done to remove the Hollwood effects in 1.03
