Racerboy heres an issue you have to see regarding beta testing SH4 Effects for SH3 2.03

Ok testing a session, I attacked a destroyer. One torpedo one kill.
Problem arised after a time the destroyer drifted it finally started to sink.

Big mega explosion very nice, but soooooo many flares shot up my computer nearly ctd. here are some pics to show you of the cascade flare attack below.

After it finally sunk and the flare vanished the glow effects still remained. see below.

I had my sub glowing like spot lights where on it for the rest of the patrol untill I re-entered the game.

particle effects from an ammo ship blowing up very nice.

and much more. You guys could get some ideas for effects here.

Hi Racerboy,

have finally got the time to test it, and it looks okay so far!

I have one question or request though:
the fireballs from explosions - would it be possible to increase the time they appear? I think they develop too fast and dissapear too fast. Maybe prolong the time with 10-20 %. Would that be possible?

Same here.

Excellent mod,fantastic even I'm afraid I still can't here my torp doors open though:hmm: any way to remedy that

[Samwolf]

The latest public beta version has fixed the red ocean reflection from the flares but still has the instantly disappearing smoke when a ship sinks. I haven't run into any other problems yet. Looks good.

[Fish40]

The latest version posted is 2.22? I thought the flare reflection fix was going to be in 2.3. If this version is out, please post a link . Love the mod by the way! The new flames and explosions are!!! Didn't see any red flares, or bleeding bodies yet. Keep up the great work

I'm using 2.22 and the last ship I sank that fired a flare did not have the large red reflection. I'll check to see if it happens when multiple flares are fired.

I too have 2.2 version ... have had a few ships fire several flares during its last moments or sinking ... no red reflection whatsoever anymore ( not even a faint one ) ... kinda miss a slight one however ... all the flares seem to do besides glowing red is lighten up the ship under it a bit ( a white light like a star shell )

For the bleeding bodies you have to be close to the ship and watch them hit the water .. they bleed but very faintly ( which I would assume is correct as water disipatates blood quickly ) ... the squirming and thrashing bodies is a great addition

@ nikbear ... I can hear them but its still very faint .... try opening while in the attack map screen .....

that is something that can be done. I will add it to the list for 2.03.

I have the volume set to 100 (max) in the Sh3.sdl file so the next step is to increase the volume in the soundfile itself. Another entry for 2.03's list.

instantly disappearing smoke is still a problem, yes. If you try stock SH3 it's there also. Now that I'm back in the country I can work on my mods again.
