will this run with the 16km distance mod? thanks

I don't see why you need a tweak to run it. What was the tweak? And why did you need it (what was missing/wrong/problem)?

hi RB

the tweak i am referring to is found on the discussion on this page. On this page JCWolf talks about having merged the SH4 effects and the Reece mod together for 16km. I am using this merged mod atm. I was wondering if I will need a similar merge to run the new version alongside Reece mod? perhaps I am getting confused. If so, forgive me, I have only recently been promoted from lowly deck swabber, so perhaps I am getting ahead of myself.

I just tested it , and must say this is real for sure.
The explosions on the deck of the ship , even when you pause shooting are great.
Sound of fire makes you feel like you realy are witnessing her last hour

Only thing that surprised me was the time the flare stays burning in the air. I thought it will burn for bit longer.

Good point, in my opinon the flares should also starts earlier, maybe after half-destruction!
Kind regards

Wow, this is really a great mod!

Thank you very much! I really enjoy it. There are just two very tiny things I don't like. First, the smoke that is emitted even when a ship is stopped (if I understand RB correctly this will be fixed

) and, second, the funnel smoke is divided into one black column and one brighter column for me.

Anyway, this mod really rocks!!!

Cheers, LGN1

Btw., can I delete the misc folder completely if I do not want to use the new waves/water?

yes you can. It will have no impact at all on the mod.

how long should this flare burn? I didn't know how long flares lasted so I gave it a random value.

IIRC, they weren't so much a parachute type flare as they were a short lived starshell type device. Maybe someone in the Navy or Merchant Marine would know better

That's what I was thinking. That is why I gave them a short life span.

Just Copy the new Files in the 16KM EFFECTS Folder. Works fine in my install. Only the reflection of the red signal flare looks like blood in the water. With lots of dead guys swimming there it loks kind of frightening.

BTW: GOOD JOB! THX RB

Does this need to be changed? Does it look too red? I can make it darker, like a darker red. I can even give the effect a new TGA and change the Alpha to a little less.

I am not one usully to comment, but I installed this mod for the fun of it,, I am really amazed at the results!

Makes it almost like a new game! And best of all, it makes the night convoy battles so real,

I really like the emergeny flares,, a nice touch!

thanks for a great upgrade.
