Your idea is still valid. I have just revamped it a bit

Have you tested it? I need for feed-back in order to get this test into a full mod

Yes, I wasn't sure that this wasn't the reason, but I had some suspects

Not yet.. though I can do it right now.. you mean full modded game?

Only TDW able to answer.. as you can see he didn't yet..

I mean:

- mimicing the types of smoke screens used during WWII, and getting them to "work" as expected as for their duration, color, density, motion in the space, wind interaction,etc. According to wikipedia, there were at least two methods for generating smoke barriers: burning oil (black smoke), and exploiting chemical reacions (white smoke).

- adding them to the ships which are likely to have used smoke screen in RL (stock, OH's, and mtns ones).

- making ships to use smoke screens as realistically as possible.

The good thing about my method, is that its core files are custom-made, so they won't conflict with any other mod. Besides them, ship's GR2/dat files and their eqp files will be changed, but only an handful of other mods affect them.

yes, probably an AI issue

Can it wait a couple of days? I wanted to finish work on the gun-mod and send it to you for the release.. then I can join you in working on this

Still much to do, but it looks promising

Hay sober,
Nice surprise!

Does it work with a Real Environment ?

Is it possible to direct a smoke a bit upwards... on a dead calm surface without wind... smoke should not go sharply aside.

[renard60]

thank you very much

[Yankee14]

WOW this mod looks amazing. Great job!

As someone else in this thread has also asked, I wonder if the smoke screen affects the AI sight at all? Knowing me, I'd be stupid and not pay attention to the wind direction, shooting the lead ship in a convoy and block my view of the entire battlefield. I suck enough at this game already; I don't need yet another disadvantage

Someone should try it with the detection circles

Cool

IIRC the particle generator you are using as smoke screen, got a fog controller attached

I am not saying that smoke affects AI visualy . I really don't know . There are a thousand million parameters for that smoke .

I thought you meant that when you talked about dtection circles...

Ignore the particle generator parameters, which are just visual effects, and look at the the fog render controller, under the same node as the particle generator. This should affect AI detection
