[REL] SH4 effects (and more) for SH3 - Page 5

ridgewayranger · 11-16-09, 08:46 AM

Thanks A6Intruder, but I don't see it there, unless you mean the one for GWX3. I kind of hoped there was one for all SH3 mods?

Yes i was talking about this version. For which mod do you need it?
Best regards

ridgewayranger · 11-16-09, 03:59 PM

Hello again A6Intruder,
Yep, I've D/Ld but not used it yet as everything seems to refer to GWX2 & 2.1. Is it compatible with GWX Gold? I also got the impression from reading Racerboys comments that it it was compatible with all SH3 Mods. I have NYGM, Warace 4.1 and LSH. Tell me I am wrong and put me out of my misery!
Thanks for the help,
Cheers, R.R.

Hey Racer....I made it back to the forums and saw this Mod still going....

"Crew Prepare Torpedo Defense".......plus vintage Bugle Calls.....on the Warships......I need help though and was wondering if your still around......

Cheers!

Hi Again,
There is obviously something wrong with my D/L or install. The loading time went from 6.5 mins to over 20, and when I dived I kept going down. With flank speed and blowing M/B I got back up back went down again as soon as I stopped.
Apart from GWX mods I have:-
Enhanced funnel smoke and Thomsens ships
Lite radio traffic V2
Periscopes TDC 1.2
Gunfix mod v1.1
Foam
Community units
Kiel map detail
Seawolf & Tuddley Gold full edition
Lifeboats & debris_v4
Water_Stream_for_ Uboats_V4
Wbs Renown replacement
I was wondering about the Seawolf mod?
I also have flashing lights in the control room. Seem to be related to rolling but as they are never obscured, why?
Any help greatly appreciated.
RR

Just wanted to share some thoughts..
About the loading time.. Too big, must be a bug somewhere, 20 mins is too big..

About the diving issue.. I asked that a while ago and people said it is something normal. Well, it seemed to me that way, until I made a decent install with carefully placed mods. Well, now I don't have that issue anymore. Regardless of this, I had one issue with st. nazaire don't loading st. nazaire startup ctd, I said it is enuf to shrink some tgas to get the startup. Not true. Since then I had no such problem even with high textures.
BUT THEN again, I installed sp3, I installed new graphic drivers..
Who can really tell?

My best guess here is that you have a problem with community units. Unload that and try.
Then unload one by one or unload everything and load one by one, and try and report somewhere best on that mod's page..

Cheers!

ridgewayranger · 11-23-09, 02:54 PM

Hi Asinovic,
Yes, thanks, I'll do what you suggest. I keep wondering what community units is anyway. Must have seemed like a good idea when I D/Ld it but so long ago and so many others since, I've completely forgotten.
Cheers, RR

I'd really like to add this to my current mod soup mix, but I've several questions first. I apologize in advance for these questions, as part of my mind says I should already know the answers, and another part of my mind says I should be able to figure the answers out based upon the mod-supplied readmes and instructions. Unfortunately, the bigger part of my mind (and the one that would up having me disappear for a number of years) no longer is capable of doing these things.

I've already minorly borked up my mod installs somehow by incorporating the necessary tweaks for Hsie's or Stiebler's hardcode fixes. So far those foobars have been relatively minor, such as the repetitive blank radio transmissions, floating flak towers at Kiel, and mis-sized new buttons. HW3 is graciously spending some time looking into the flak tower one for me.

My bigger questions regarding the "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3" mod are:

Is there a particular order, relative to the mods I already have, this should be activated via JSGME?
What effects (positive or negative) should "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3" have (especially sound related; ex. SH3.sdl) regarding the current mod setup I have?
I also have questions about the mod itself:

The mod has one main folder: RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03. Usually for mods I import, then activate, it via JSGME. However, usually mods have the file architecture of "MOD NAME\DATA\xxx"; RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 does not. Instead, within the folder RB_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 are subfolders:

for GWX 1_03,
Live_AI_ships_sounds,
Optional,
Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03, and,
tweakfile.

My understanding is that I won't need "for GWX 1_03" as I'm already running GWX (Gold) 3.0. I will (obviously) need to import the subfolder "Racerboy_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03" and then activate it in order to run the mod itself. I won't need "Optional" (Torpedo_damage_Final) as I already have that as a mod on its own. However, I'm not at all sure what, if anything, I should, or need, to do with "Live_AI_ships_sounds".

There are also the text files:

How do I know if I setup new sounds correctly,
I want sound on a ship!,
I want the starshell gun on a ship!, and,
Racerboy's_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03.

Racerboy's_SH4_Effects_for_SH3_2_03 is self-explanatory; its the readme regarding the mod itself. The other three seem to be similar, but applicable only for those desiring to create new (or modify pre-existing) ships, etc.

Sorry for the lengthy missive, but my mind really isn't running at peak efficiency anymore, and I really could use all the help I can get.

Danke.

The way I handled the Sh3.dsl file is that I took the Sh3.dsl file out of all the mods that had the most entries. Then I made sure that all the entries that were in the largest version had all the entries from the smaller versions. I don't remember if I had to edit it at all, but you can edit and view the file using Silent 3ditor.

After this, you just have to very methodically overwrite each mod using JSGME, and very slowly figure out what works.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Mine Gott but that made my eyes cross and water!

I'm slowly muddling along with the ones I (so far) have, trying to get all of the mods working well before valiently attempting

to incorporate the hardfix coding again. So far I've encountered an interesting oddity when I added "SH4 effects (and more) for SH3":

Any idea what's causing the square artifacts when a gun is fired?

I'd say it's working right. AFAIK the squares are necessary for the animations to run. At least mine has always looked like that.

I don´t remember now what file causes the problem: particles.dat or materials.dat. I had the problem some years ago. Now I use the LSH3 Spezialeffekte Gross submod in GWX and no problem with square smoke.

Heh, believe it or not, the inspiration for it was from the person posted immediately above you, fitzcarraldo.

I came across one of his posts that listed all his mods, and I started digging about and uncovered all these gems that I wasn't using.

Then a couple of major mods all came out at around the same time, including Aces' Super Turms, h.sie's and Stiebler's sh3.exe fixes, etc. Put it all together in one big soup and I love it.

...but you win, rudewarrior...That is really a HUGE list of mods...

Also I have the patches (H.sie & Stiebler, the dynamic dwo), and all the Wreford Brown scripted ships. Plus SH3 Commander and their mods...But yours is a kilometric list!!!
