Default **Mod Release** Longer Torpedo Wakes v1.0

UPDATE RELEASED....


**Released ** Longer Torpedo Wakes v1.02 for use with GWX



This mod makes torpedo wakes visible for much longer than vanilla SH3. Torpedo wake trails will be visible for approximately 45 seconds now. Hopefully this mod will add some realism and eyecandy to your game.





**This mod may or may not work correctly with other mods (besides GWX)**

Download latest version 1.02 here:

EDIT - When downloading from FileFront I regularly get this error:

"There was an error processing your request; it appears to be invalid or there was an error with your conection. Please wait while your request is retried...

I finally managed to get the download screen to appear after 20+ attempts! - Right, off to install it.....

Cheers all!

Nvdrifter,

I keep saying it's the small things that forum members do that make this the most exciting game still. What doesn't get mentioned is the amount of research hours and countless loading of the game to see what the effects look/sound like that you have made, prior to the release of the mod to the members. Congradulations on presenting this mod and no doubt the U-Boat/ship wake to the cumminty of SH3.

This has been one of the overlooked area of the game, but I do remember Pascal modding the wake many moons ago with regards to texture, it's good to see the development of the game is in good hands.

Does this mod affects the AI? I mean do ships see the new wakes and change course or it's just eye-candy?

Honestly, I don't really know. I'm not sure how the AI reacts to wakes.

Dont get me wrong it looks good but I am just not sure how realistic it is to show water bubbles from a steam torpedo that last for 3 minutes .

Venatore, thanks for pointing that out. Perhaps a lot of players really don't understand how long it takes to make even the simplest mods. So far, I have spent at least 20 hours of my own time researching, testing, and tweaking my Longer Ship Wakes mod. But I have to admit, Longer Torpedo Wakes mod only took about 4 hours total.

I can't imagine how many hours it took to make GWX.
