No no, he's not in some sort of trouble. I simply have some questions about an advance version he sent me earlier.

Thanks Nvdrifter. This should make us load our pants, and will surely add to realism and the pucker factor. LOL

Got it and will try it out asap. I just hope my dentures stay in. LOL

I am sorry...but I do not like it. The camera shakes a little all the time... After 5 minutes spent in the command room, just cruising on a flat sea, my head began to ache. It shakes almost contonuosly a little.

Well, like he said... its an early version.

A modder's work is never done until he makes himself stop!

I asked about this idea about 3-4 months ago, with little interest and some negative feedback, its good to see that you have brought this mod to reality, which I could not do, well done mate.

Have you considered taking motion sickness pills before leaving port? :p

But really, I do know about the slight surface shaking. I will try to tone it down in the next version without losing the regular shaking effect.

**Update Released!** Depth Charge Shake v1.02 (for use with GWX)




Changes/ fixes in v1.01:


A) Greatly reduced the badly shaking compartments when cruising on the surface in bad weather-

There is still a slight shake sometimes in heavier seas when cruising on the surface, but I had to make compromises to get the correct shaking effect when being depth charged. Please remember that when this shaking sometimes happens, the u-boat is cutting through large waves on the surface, so this slight shaking effect should be somewhat realistic (hopefully!).



B) Doubled shockwave impulse radius for depth charges and bombs-

Shockwave impulse radiuses for bombs and depth charges was doubled to give a slight underwater shaking effect from farther away depth charge and bomb explosions. But distant explosions still won't be felt. Explosion damage and impulse strength for all bombs and depth charges was unchanged. Only impulse distance was increased.


C) I redid this mod using only the original GWX files, therefore this mod is only for use with GWX. It will probably work with other mods too, but it was specifically designed for and tested with GWX.


**Everyone please note that I have put many hours of playtesting and tweaking into this simple (?) mod to try to find the right balance and effect. I had to make a few compromises due to camera limitations and other things, but I still hope everyone will experience some new fear and excitement in SH3 when being depth charged.**
