Nautilus42 extracted the lifeboats and liferafts from SH4 too and added a man to them. In the editor through the eqp file, one can then choose to have it with an allied or axis man.
Is it your idea to include his mod? Or are you doing a different approach?

he did this for SH3? How did he spawn them? I'm having mine appear when the ship sinks. I'd be curious to know about this mod you speak of

Sadly they do not spawn automatically from a ship sinking. One needs to script write them into RND and/or SCR, and then obviously they need to be scripted a little far from normal ship routes, so you don't suddenly see them inside a "virgin convoy". But maybe you can use them anyway. They stay afloat as long as scripted...

Got it! Thanks RB. Since I still have a GWX1.03 version to run, I'll be checking this out.

Perhaps a GWX2.0 version someday? The best of both worlds would be a combination of Rubini's GWX enhanced mods and yours.

I plan on it. If Rubini will work with me I'll add their new effects in a version for GWX 2.0. If not I'll either make a version for GWX 2.0 taking out their effects 'calls' in the zones.cfg so you all can use it in GWX 2.0 or make my own new effects to take the place of theirs so it can be compatible.

RB:
I downloaded your mod, and I found something unexpected and don't know what to do...
There is a folder "for GWX 1.03", does this mean that I have to enable it via JSGME along with the folder "SH3 effects (and more) for SH3 2.03"?
I thought everything was included in the same folder... so both folders or just the last one?
Thanks a lot for your help RB.

the included readme also tells you what to do with this but I'll answer here also If you are using GWX 1.03 then you have to copy the folder contained in 'for GWX 1.03' into 'MODS\Racerboy_SH4_effects_for_SH3_2_03'.
The folders contained in 'for GWX 1.03' are all the ships new files (the data\Sea folders). So by copying the contents you'll be overwriting and adding new folders to MODS\Racerboy_SH4_effects_for_SH3_2_03\data\Sea. If you don't copy these folders then you won't have the framework to use the Live_AI_Ships idea for GWX 1.03. Well you will, sort of, but not for every ship because GWX 1.03 introduced new ships.
This infomation can also be found in the text file 'Racerboy_SH4_effects_for_SH3.txt' found in the folder 'RB_SH4_effects_for_SH3_2_03'.

RB is it okay to install your mod over vanilla 1.4b?

I read you mentioned somewhere about AI torpedo so is this going to be added up in your later version?

perfectly ok. Out of the box (or unzip ) it's ready for SH3 1.4b. If you're going to use it on GWX 1.03 you have to copy some files around. If you want to enable the Live_AI_ships part then you have some setup to do. Read the textfile 'I want to add sound to a ship!.txt' for details on how to do this

AI torps is nearing completion. BETAs have been sent out to testers and I'm awaiting feedback and testing.

Um, why does this mod contain brutally truncated Englishnames and Germannames cfg files, killing almost all the ship names?

please explain what you mean. It contains 2 files for each ship, a modified .eqp file and a new file called xxx.cam (where xxx=class name of ship). There shouldn't be any xxx.cfg files included for any ship.

nope, but in the sea folder there is the germannames and englishnames.cfg files which control the ship names. The ones in your mod only include something like 20 ships.
