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...

Because you edited the zones.cfg file and adjusted the hitpoints you have caused the 'event' to happen sooner. If you search for 'Effectx=yyyy, z' (where x=a number, yyyy=the name of the event in Particles.dat, and z=a number) you'll see the effect (yyyy) that is called for when that zone hits the % damage specified (z).

Am I the only one having problem?

the file is a .7z (7-zip) file. You'll need the 7-zip software (or other software that can unzip 7-zip files) to unzip it. Winzip won't do it. Could this be the problem you're having?

My apologies if I missed something but is this mod compatible with GWX2.0?

RB is you new link have the patch updated already or do I have to incorperate your gun fix?

Welcome back dude

Welcome back RB must admit I've just enabled the basic RB-2.03 effects, live AI ships with sounds and starshell guns stuff is far to complicated Its a shame it got like that for us less well accomplished with puters,the beauty of previous versions was that you put it in your mods folder ,enabled it and away you went Ah well such is life.

Nikbear,

If you, or anyone else, would like to 'hear' the new live_AI_ships idea of mine just let me know which ships you'd like setup, which version of the game (sh3 1.4b or GWX 1.03), and what method you want for each ship and I'd be happy to set them up for you. I would like for everyone to enjoy this new idea of mine.
It does take some setting up to do but I kept it as simple as possible. No hex editing involved, only basic editing via notepad or using tweak files
For those of you not interested in the live_AI_ships idea then you have nothing to worry about. Just enable the mod as is just like previous versions to enjoy the new effects.

Welcome back dude

new link at post #1 incorporates the gun fix already For those who downloaded it before the new link (239 of them not counting the mirrors) they'll need the patch for the gun fix.

not yet. They altered the zones.cfg file and added new 'events' which my particles.dat file is missing. It will be made compatible though don't worry!

I deeply hope so, because your effects are much more better then the "Enhanced" !
Kind regards

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

Yes, I'd need the \data\Sea\xxxx folders for each ship. If you want to set them up and have me review them that would be great. I'd have to give you my ID naming convention so that the IDs used for the new nodes follow the 'plan' (so we don't have duplicate IDs used - this guarantess originality). Or if you'd like for me to set them up I can do that also. Let me know what is best for you.
CapZap speaks of a TA mod by you? Where can I download this? :hmm:

RB: in case I don't care for the enhancements in GWX 2.0 at the moment and just want to use your mod. Will it run or may there be problems?

Hi Racerboy, enjoy your mod very much...the main reason for me not playing GWX 2.0. Currently playing GWX 1.03

If you can set up as many of the boats as possible, random method for each ships
that would fine by us.

Thanks
