[WIP] FX Update - Page 12

Cerberus62 · 10-17-10, 07:04 PM

Met the same problems with the debris animation: The fragments emitted after an explosion are jumping back in the air when they hit the water, then endlessly bouncing up and down. Occurs with v0.0.3 and v0.0.4 as well.

The alarm whistling seems to be much to loud, almost causing a hearing loss if your closer to the ship than a mile or so - even if your inside the sub.

The damage displayed at the subs hull is huge. I'm pretty shure a type VII boat wouldn't stay afloat with four holes punched in it, each 3 meters in diameter. IMHO this problem has been discussed before: http://174.123.69.202/~subsimc/radio...=167713&page=3

For now I'm using v0.0.3, which works fine for me, after deleting TDW_FXU_Debris_Materials.dat and TDW_FXU_Debris_Particles.dat.

I have problem with FX_Update_0.0.4_UHS_Fix. When submerged at periscope depth antenna sticking out of the water.

does this problem appear to happen when in heavy seas? Does it appear in calm seas?

completely normal. The round DF loop will hide around 11m depth. The radio antenna will continue to stick out of the water and at a depth of around 18-20m it will start to hide and be completely hidden at 30m

but makes it tricky to avoid being spotted when moving around at PD.

In both situations the sea has been rather calm. The debris parts bounced like rubber balls as soon as they hit the surface and didn't came to a rest. So these parts were not floating. I didn't try to find out if this happens in heavy seas, too. Didn't imagine that there could be a difference.

thanks for the feedback. Looks like I've come up with a solution to the problem. Currently testing it now

v0.0.5 released. See post #1 for details

Debris problem should be fixed now. Secondary explosions are more exciting now also

Your support is perfect. Thank you TDW!

Incredible fast update service, DarkWraith...

Well, the debris don't jump back sky-high any longer when they hit the water. But they are often spinning and tumbling at high speed while they seem to hover a metre or so above the water. Explosions are nice, splash effect looks realistic, too. But watching the hovering debris... for me, it breaks the bubble. The movements of the particles simply don't look right. Would enjoy it more if the swimming debris effect would be deleted without substitution, just my 2 cents.

Anyway, thank you very much for all your incredible mods and every effort contributing to a more realistic impression.
