[REL] Sub Exhaust for SH5 - Page 5

reboot · 04-01-10, 10:00 PM

Thanks, it looks great! Unfortunately when i use the binoculars near the exhaust I get a slide show with my ATI 5770. Doesn't happen when I look at it in normal view. It may be just be my system. Oh well, gives me an excuse to get another card and go crossfire.

isn't that a pretty high-end card (5770)? I use nVidia GTX280 and I get some low FPS occassionally but no stuttering. If the concensus is that the exhaust 'tails' are too long then I can shorten them which will help boost FPS as the max particles allowed will drop.

Since I never tried that view with the mod I had to try it on mine:

ordered up ahead flank on VIIA and went to binocs and took a look. FPS was 30 which is fine.

It's a fairly new card, but I still want to add another one. I normally don't have issues with frame rate, so if no one else is getting low frame rates, it may be something on my end. (perhaps another mod conflicting)
I'll try again with my other mods disabled.

Does the splash behind your sub sometimes pause when throttled up? I see this happen every now and then and noticed that the exhaust smoke will pause with it when it does this. Normally its in rougher waters when I see the pause.

cool, we can still add objects to the files and the game doesn't freak out (and yes the flag is animated)

Now I should be able to make an 'exhaust port' for the 2A on the right side.

No, not really that much. Its just the exhaust smoke. It must be a setting on my card or something, since no else is having problems. It's weird because the smoke from ships doesn't cause any stuttering. I even tried setting my affinity to only two cores instead of four, but actually had slightly lower frame rates.
I'll mess around with some of my settings and maybe I can figure something out.

No. SH4 had it modded long time ago.

and I did it for SH3 even longer ago. I believe but don't quote me that the SH4 one's were based off my work in SH3

Very nice mod TheDarkWraith, thank you!

I get lower frame rates only when looking at smoke from sealevel behind sub (85+ falls to 30-40).Could you make also version with shorter smoke fumes? I would really appreciate that

WOD · 04-02-10, 11:28 AM

Thx for this mod TheDarkWraith.

To the massive FrameRateDrops I can only say:
I´ve got a GeForce 9600GT/512 and I noticed no massive drop so far. Even with a Convoy behind me (8 Rows / 5 Ships per Row).

Thx again for the outstanding work.

All started somewhere around this time didn't it?

But I'm happy you took it where you did Mate.
