Just to clarify this: the Special Effects and the special effects ONLY will be applied to what Ducimus has done in his zones.cfg file; it will not make TMaru compatible with NSM.

lol Those weren't ships I sunk. Those shots were from testing that mission. Most of those fires and smoke are from planes shot down. Large amounts of aircraft plus a really big task force means a lot of swimming flyboys. The aircraft did attack the ships, so it isn't just a big spectacle.
Hmmm, I don't think they should do that then. A plane should be a quick splash and a nothing more. They do make oil fires occasionally in the stock game, but it's more weighted to tankers, I hardly ever see fires from aeroplanes and ships that aren't tankers. For ships, isn't it down to what cargo type they have? E.G. Fuel.

Oil fires are tied to the oil explosion effect. Anything that has that effect in zones.cfg will produce oil fire, when it goes below the designated a) crush depth and b) damage threshold. That's the reason I ditched it on subs, as it would trigger whenever the damage threshold was reached, and the sub submerged.

I was just messing around doing the Battle off Samar single mission. I noticed an oddity with a few ships. The decks had blue lines on them.







These are just a few ships. Others had them as well.

This is the way I have PE3 installed:

ROW PE3 Install #1
ROW PE3 Special effects for Stock #2
PE3_1 Ship_debris_SH4_fixed_with bodies
PE3_1 Sky and reflection controls and textures
PE3_2 sub and roll pitch caustics reflecion mod allso for uboats
PE3_2_reflections_mod for harbour and objects

On a slightly different note, the German large tanker has a strange blue aura about it. It actually looks kind of cool in an odd way.

Deactivate the mod, then remove particles.dat from the mod's Data\Library folder and you should be ok. Also, if you find the amount of explosions and fires too much, don't install any of the Special Effects optionals. Now give us your home address so we can send a couple of bouncers to beat you up for not liking something in this mod! :rotfl:

Moral of the story: don't eat and/or drink when reading! :rotfl:

Bonus moral: for the love of the Gods, don't SMOKE and read!

I've choked on my own cigarette smoke far too many times!

I've learned my lesson, though: whenever I see a post by a person who I now know has a wicked sense of humor (like, among others, Rockin Robbins, Digital_Trucker and AVG_Warhawk), I make SURE I don't inhale, inbibe or chew anything

That's because the patch contains some files that are the same as the ones in the main mod. That's why JSGME asks to overwrite them. It's perfectly safe to do so.

Hold on...you're telling me that you installed the patch after PE3 and you didn't get an overwrite message?
Are you SURE you moved each folder WITHIN the patch3_1 folder to the main Mods folder before activating? Also, do you have the latest version of JSGME?
