I see for each ship a xxx.cam file. Are all these customized for each ship?

Yes they are in the fact that the ID for each new node is unique and the parent ID has to be replaced by the ID of the ship. This requires hex editing. If you would like to do it yourself I can give you my ID naming convention.

I think, I'm able to alter all the xxx.eqp files with the extra info, but if the xxx.cam files need to be edited specially, maybe it's best for you to do so!? If then, do you need all files for each ship unit?

The .eqp files are easy enough. Copy and paste the last 4 new entries that start with ';SH4 effects for SH3' into the .eqp files of the ships needing them.
The .cam files see above.
It would take some time to do but yes, I can do it for you. You would have to send me the \data\Sea\xxx folders of each ship.

See above in yellow.

I will look into this a little later, and then upload a rar for you with the extra ships through my FF. I still have some more units, I want to add, so try look in the end of this week.
It would be cool, if you wanna do this for me too!

Anyway, happy holiday

Hey,RBoy.
What do you do behind bars?

Carotio · 12-17-07, 07:47 PM

Just wanted to share a screencap. You said, it's not for Hollywood Effects. Well, I have edited the zones.cfg myself to my liking and made the airplanes vulnerable to bullets again and the saw this:

Do you like the image?

Good work very impressive. I like it. So when are you releasing this mod?

Well, the effects in above image is from RBs mod (firecloud).
That the airplane is vulnerable depends of which mod you use.
If you want it like me, then you have to look in your zones.cfg file, then search for:
Planes Items (F=Fighters, LB=Light Bomber, MB=Medium Bomber, HB=Heavy Bomber)

and for each type, look for:
HitPoints=
for fighters I altered it to =7 in comparison with GWX1.03=70

The airplanes are still mighty opponents= they hit their target=me, but at least I can give them payback

Sure, it's okay!

But I cannot say that this fireball get that big every time, I just played a single mission to test my new skins, when the planes showed up, and while it was not my career I tried the shoot out, and I was amazed by this big fireball. If it stays like this always, I don't know. If yes, then maybe an edit is necessary, if no = sometimes big, sometimes small, then it's cool with me.
Diversity is important!

But I suspect it's in the materials.dat this info lies, so untill RB is back, it stays unclarified, whether it's my edit or his...

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

Good to hear that. Burning my dial-up modem as I write this to get your latest effects mod

Edit: RB after more than 2 and a half hour of downloading your file seems to be corrupted. I can't unzip/uncompressed it no matter what.
Am I the only one having problem?

That section needs to be re-uv mapped to a damage texture you create.
It's been done on a few ships somewhere

How tough would it be to see crossbeams and hull layers when breaking apart? Perhaps even different levels in the hull...
If say one was to make a cut section of a hull, a TGA could/would it show correctly in game?
