Amazing mod DW, sheesh where do you get the energy to be working on so many fantastic mods at one time....

When I was modding for Dangerous Waters (3D sub designs, existing and new, with 3DMax) I could just about produce a model every 5-6 days fully skinned and painted. I must have spent close to a year and produced just over 100 models including missles/ships as well in the end..

I said never again....I was so burnt out, how do you do it mate?

Anyways everything you do is much appreciated not just by me but every member of the SH5 fraternity...

and Kudos

Installed the latest FX update (thanks for all your work TDW

)
The distress flares have always caused me problems with stuttering framerates when more than one ship is firing at the same time, so I usually edit them out in the zone.cfg file.

However Im still getting ships firing white starshells ,causing me all sorts of stuttering and pauses while they are fired.

Is there a different way to edit out the starshells, or should they dissapear when the red flares are edited out ?

Any help greatly appreciated as they are making convoy attacks a nightmare at the moment.

Hello TDW.

Have you changed anything in the NSS_xxx/Submarine Parts/Conning_xx_xx.sim files since FXUpdate16.2? I ask because I want to use KZS wonderful Wet Hull effects where the same files were edited with the files from your FX16.2 as a base. I am checking compatibility between this two mods and don't want to loose any features from your great FX0.19.

If so I will ask KZS for an updated version.

Thank you.

The starshells can be removed from the ship's very easily. What you have to do is edit the ship's .eqp file and set the starshell to NULL. i.e. (this is from the NLL ship):

;SH5 FX Update
[Equipment 23]
NodeName=M90
LinkName=5InchStarShellGun;NULL
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

make it look like this to disable starshell:

;SH5 FX Update
[Equipment 23]
NodeName=M90
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

You'll have to do this to every ship that has the starshell set (there is only like 6-8 of them done).

Sounds like I need to incorporate KZS's mod into FX_Update to mitigate compatibility problems.

Echolot · 08-18-11, 09:05 AM

Maybe as an addon/option, because there are different u-boat.sim files (stoianm pitch and roll for exsample). I would like to use FX0.19 and KZS Hull and co for stoianms pitch (low).

Thank you TDW.

Regards.

PS I am very happy with the latest fixes to the buoys and lighthouses.

Change the zone file in that mod. That mod makes BARF and FX compatiable. Its the zone file merged from FX and BARF so that zone file is overwriting the zone file in FX

Just looking over KZS's mod I noticed that there's a way to implement what he did without using files that have already been used. I'll make the changes and send to him so that people don't have to worry about incompatibility problems anymore

A big Thank you, The DarkWraith.

I packaged up the changes and sent to KZS so he can update his mod if he wants to. I also asked if I could incorporate his mod into this one

I love challenges, doesn't matter what the challenge is. If it makes me think then all the better. I also love puzzles and problem solving

SH5 is just one HUGE puzzle and challenge so I'm in heaven. Plus I love to program....I think it all stems from the fact that I love the unknown and love to take things apart just to see how they work or how to improve/exploit them

I'm a very curious person....And being left handed I'm naturally a very creative person and creative thinker.
