Seriously, has anyone tried playing with the values: explosion_range and explosion_impulse in the .sim for the DC barrels? Those values sound like they would control exactly what is being discussed here.

There's alot of detailed information on the settings and what they do
in the SH3/SH4 Workshop areas.
I don't have detailed links to threads but ask for info in those areas?
And they'll be happy to explain or point you to some good threads.
Some very good Modders still don't look at the SH5 area much.
Many of the controllers and settings go back to SH3/SH4
so they have years of knowledge to share.

Bump...

I just spent the last 2 days going over SH4 Shake Effects from Bombs, Depth Charges and Torpedo Impacts.
The MODs I had made the boat rock and shake for any explosion within 800 meters and that includes ships exploding as they are sinking. The sinking ship explosion/shake really startled me.
Another thing I noticed while playing in SH4 was that SH5 REALLY needs a EAX Sound MOD. Explosions really sound like explosions with a long trailing rumble and secondary explosions have the same effect. That and a good shake of the Sub was very impressive. The current explosion sound samples and other effects in SH5 are very depressing.

Change them then.

If you like a sound from a SH3/SH4 sound mod?
Ask permission to use it.
(If it's a sound that was found on the Internet and permissions were not granted
by the original creator? You need no permissions from the Mod maker. Contact the original source for permission.)

If it's an 'open source' file found on the Internet?
Again you need no permissions from anyone that used it in other Mods.
(That's what 'open source' means)

Do not use copyrighted stuff without permission.
That's stealing.

Are you guys still looking into this? I,ve been looking for a good mod that really makes the boat shake and have pipes burst and such . Also i really think Depthcharges should be able to damage internal systems insted of just affecting the hull integrety.

IRAI will really shake the boat when a DC explodes close. And it will definitely cause damage to systems

It shakes when hit by depth charges? I never saw this with this mod. It doesnt really shakes at least. What i would like to see it the shakes that we had in Aces of the deep.

Didn't check the subsim forums for a while due to plenty of work, sorry mate =(

Greetings

DC shake for SH3 involved changing the "MechShocksPendulum" setting in the Cameras.dat file for each node you wanted to show the effect, I don't know what is involved in SH5, only noticed a cameras.gr2 and cameras.cam files.

But really the shake in the interieur is realy not such a violent shake that i want it to be . It seems more like a roll from side to side.

Oh no! you can change the setting here and is way too much of a shudder/shock, the earlier versions were that way and had to be put back, the good thing is that being close to an exploding ship also caused the boat to shudder! Now if you can attach sound to it as NVD did that would be awesome!

I remember SH3 and SH4 used to scare the crap out of me when taking a blow from a DC. lights flickering, loud thunderous bang, glass breaking, violent inertia effect - almost knocked me off my feet.

In SH5 it feels like a goldfish swam into the side of the sub.

You'll be my hero if someone can recreate the SH3/4 experience.
