I guess its because they check the new files for porn i.e. before you can download them.

Now for the questions:

Will explosive rounds still be usable even if not penetrating the armour?

Is flamability considered in the damage model?

What are the present effects of a ship on fire? Pure eyecandy or can we expect some kind of continual damage to the object?

Is it possible for the damage control parties to put out a fire?

Thanks again for the hard work!

1. no, the shell must pass the hull or it does no damage. Its not finished yet i will fix it so the HE shells will penetrate all merchants.

2. not sure what you mean. But yes ships will catch on fire.

3. no its just an animated effect it doesnt add more damage over time. To be honest i doubt that its possible with sh4, anyway maybe there is a workaround that i dont know about but i think i can see the entire picture of the damage system already (i even dream of hex codes at night and know what they mean) and i havent found a way for damage over time.

4. fires will disappear on their own after a while.

Thanks for clarifying!

Anyway, since the HE rounds have a lesser penetration capability than the AP rounds will here be any instances where they are "better" to be used?

sure ill try to explain.

everytime you hit a ship (with anything) it must first pass the hull armor. The damage will only be applied if you can defeat the armor. HE rounds basicly do more damage but cannot penetrate thick armor. So they are useless agains strong armored ships but they are better agains weak targets. AP on the other hand can penetrate thick armor, but will do less damage. So they are good agains strong armored targets and not "that" good agains weak targets.

Ok Werner, thanks for the info!

Being a modder myself (for a strategy game, not a simulation) I really value your dedication and commitment to something like this. Thank you for your time!

I click on download and get a "NSM30.zip" File which cannot be opened by doubleclicking. Winzip tells me the file is corrupt. Filesize is 175kb.
When opened with Winrar the NSM30.zip contains a compressed folder named:
"Programator simplu pentru PIC si EEPROM". I don´t speak that language and i do not need a tutorial on how to build an EEPROM Programmer, i want the mod! :rotfl:

I tried several times to download directly from your link, using the download button. And i tried to click on the file info first and download from there. Both times the same. I only get the "Programator" thing.

That´s Romanian language and a EEPROM Programmer (Hardware description).
But I want the MOD!

That´s why they call me "Lucky". It´s true when it comes to entering ships, but with downloading mods my luck seems to run out. Maybe i should ask Stephen M.

It´s the first time i have a problem downloading from there. All the other versions worked fine.

I tried clearing the Browser Cache and Cookies but it stays the same.
