Racerboy's mod drive-thru

I especially appreciate the SH4 effects, great idea!

Paco,

to answer your question the latest version of my mods can be found at post #1 of this thread.

for All,

I have done a compatibility check of the exhaust mods with GWX 2.0. All the current versions of the exhaust mods at post #1 of this thread are GWX 2.0 compatible. Please read the note at the bottom of the exhaust mods section for explanation of GWX 2.0 compatible by me

Hey Racerboy! Thanks for blessing us with your mods!

Hi RacerBoy,
have read about your SH4 mods for SH3 mod before and am thinking about re-installing SH3 with some mods to make it more interesting, namely the task force fest mod and your SH4 for SH3 effects mod.
So i've downloaded JSGME, and your SH4 for SH3 file and put your file in the Mods sub-folder in my SH3 folder, but when i try to unzip it using WinRaR it says

'the archive is either in an unknown format or is damaged'

and won't unzip it.
Please excuse me if i'm doing something obvious wrong but WinRaR usually contains an option to
'extract to the specified folder'
and just unzips this type of file to a folder of the same name as the original, that it creates, which i would then leave in the Mods folder, and enable, having removed the original zip file.

I'm sure i must be doing something really stupid wrong but i've not had this problem with zip files b4.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance if you have any ideas

And while i'm here, can anyone suggest a mod compatible with SH3 and patch 1.4b that will add more ship types, and maybe supply vessels ( oooh deepie joy if i can reload on patrol ) to the game.
Was thinking of GWX but i gather it has some bugs, including one with the ship sinking model which kinda puts me off. Plus i believe GWX is the Yanks V the Japs, or the Japs V the Yanks, so does that mean i'm in a Jap U-boat lol?

And BTW why does my post icon call me a bilge rat lol?

This is good news from a prolific modder, thanks for all your work.
At the risk of sounding a bit dumb, can you confirm if the mods listed below are GWX 2 compatable.

I have been away from SH3 for a while, been mucking about with SH4 so I am out of sorts with whats what and whose who in terms of SH3

The exhaust mods should work no problemo as I packed all the code into the .val files. The rest I would have to say no because they either replace a .dat file or are missing new events from GWX. Wait until I have a chance to review and revise what needs to be revised for GWX 2.0

[Kptlt. Neuerburg]

I can give a conformation that the Flags and Pennants work with GWX 2.0 even though they where made for GWX 1.03.Oh RB I have to ask is your newest version of the effects mod GWX 2.0 compliant or are there still some bugs that need to be worked out?

No. GWX 2.0 changed the zones.cfg file and thus added new 'events' that I do not have in the particles.dat file. You will more than likely get a CTD using my FX mod with GWX 2.0. I'll be updating the FX mod so that it will be compatible though

Good news Now if we can get this mod for the other subs. (hint, hint)

Yes, I know it appears that I forgot about my other mods but I didn't. They were placed on hold while bigger fish were being fried and still fried (FX mod, AI torps, Diving AI subs, and some others ). I will complete them don't worry

[rascal101]

Watch out, I started a few new careers in GWX2 with Racers SH4 effects, game loaded fine, I ran around a bit and sunk a few things, then ............CTD at first it seemed that all was working but turns out whatever did not combine meant a crash quite a while into a new career, though always on the first outing.

I tested this a couple of times and it definatly would pay to wait for new GWX compatable versions
