Hi ! No, it's not a bug. I've added light for the underwater explosion effect. The same effect is used for all kind of underwater explosions. And it's not possible to have light only underwater, you have it also above.

Yes, that was my first idea, I will work on this soon.

Mod with light effect for the fire is ready, it also contains the depth charge explosion new effect.

Enjoy!

At the request of kyle9154,

Here is a quick fix which adds my fire light effect to the Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71 mod. I didn't add my depth charge explosion effect, as I don't like it enough.

Please try it in game, and report if any problems.

There are 3 folders inside. One for the basic mod, and 2 for 2 optional mods. If you install the Fire light fix for Rbs10-enhancedoilexplosion, first install Fire light fix for Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71 or Fire light fix for Rbs5-EffectsLITE.

yeah I don't use those optionals just rubini's base sh4 effects so don't need them

I have no idea how an actual DC explosion would look like, but from the following video we can make ourselves an idea of what an underwater explosion seen with the naked eye looks like, compared to what can be seen at slow motion:



The slow motion reveals an expansion phase followed by a compression phase, both accompanied by a "ball of fire"; the sequence ends with a second, smaller, expansion. Everything happens way too quickly for the human eye to register the full sequence though. At least for the type of explosion show in the video, all you can see at normal speed is a cloud of bubbles popping out from the center of the explosion and then disappearing

Best, LGN1

1. In particles.dat, find the nodes #Fire_big and #Fire_small : for each there is a new child node called "light" which contains a ParticleGenerator controller and a WaterInteraction controller.

- the ParticleGenerator controller will create a light effect with a light node contained in Materials.dat

- the WaterInteraction controller is necessary to stop the light as soon as the fire is underwater.


2. In Materials.dat, find the light node called "Light - fire" : this is the "object" used as a particle by the ParticleGenerator in particles.dat


That's all !

Hi Kendras,

thanks a lot for your help and the explanation
Do you have an idea what might be the problem here:

Is the problem mentioned in this post still occuring in Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71 ?

[LGN1]

Yes, somehow the additional DC particle generator modifies/influences the other particle generators
