[REL] Fifi Enhancements for NYGM

[Fifi]

Thank you, your kind words are heartwarming

Next update will have more interesting tweaks, but not demanding new career start for sure, don’t worry

Huge explosion will be enhanced & increased, as well as the flames rendering adjusted.
Others tweaks will concern the AI weapons (more destructible by our deck gun) and ships rudders now able to be destroyed (not only visually as before)

[Fifi]

Also revising the ships zones boxes to get better fires/flames/smokes…
Should be quite long though. Very time consuming …

I have looked at some of the tweaks you have done and I am amazed how quickly you had them completed and working.

It would be nice to have a ships rudder damaged or destroyed. I have countless times hit that rudder with torpedoes and deck gun fire but have the ship continue on like nothing happened, even zigzag.

Take all the time you need. I got 3.2 loaded up and putting it through its paces. So far, excellent work.

Have to say MFM ships zone boxes are a mess... just like was MFM ships water reflection!
Very time consuming to correct boxes (and spheres by the way - mainly masts and funnels)... plus adding some missing, deleting non necessary ones...

But i'm very satisfied with my new ships with fire zones boxes fixed, like this one:



Quite hot around

I was wondering Fifi, can I use your MFM .zon files when you complete them for my Community Units addon for Onealex mod? Your reflections was a nice addition and hope to have these as well. All credits will go to you of course and you can use anything from my Community Units mod like CapZap's newly updated MFM .sils and VonDos length, mast, draft corrections for them too. Apparently there was a lot of issues with the original MFM ships with wrong dimensions, fake .sil pictures that didn't match the models in their .dat files, no reflections (which you corrected), bad .zon files etc. WI like how the community has come together to correct/fix popular mods from the past.

Yes no problem, you can use it
Just one thing: those .zon files will be adjusted for NYGM particules & materials… meaning for instance, we have only 2 fires types, big & small. No medium fires, so I have changed the medium fires for big or small, depending ship size or class…
Same for zon firebigga not existing in NYGM.

Edit : fire medium & fire bigga are in fact linked to the others fires (fire medium to fire small, and fire bigga to fire big) in zones.Cfg

Okay i'll keep that in mind, the biggest improvement is how you lessened the size/weight of all the MFM ship .dat files by getting rid of the unneeded redundant stuff. That really helped the load time and was the most significant optimization you've done.

Burning water or rather burning oil in the water would be nice.
Do you know if something like this exist for SH3?

Yes burning oil on water exist in NYGM (and SH3) but not happening very often I must admit… probably depending the ship’s load inside.
I’ve already seen it with tankers nevertheless
Burning oil (and oil smoke) exist in particules.dat… I have enhanced the effects for next update.

Here you go with burning oil in NYGM

[FUBAR295]

Fifi,

Very nice.

I don't see burning oil often, rare actually, even with tankers. Is this something that could be tagged to all tankers to burn on the surface almost all the time?

I never looked at the burning oil as I was more interested in the tonnage for sinking. I generally do not hang around near targets after I get the "She's going down". I pay more attention to escorts or other threats. However, with your enhancements I am paying more attention to the eye candy now but not to much. Makes thing all the better.

Great job on my old favorite!

Good hunting,

Hello Kal, ARB restera comme ça.
Le sélecteur est bon les chiffres correspondent aux tubes ouverts, et le manuel est sombre pour ne pas éblouir la nuit (de toutes façons je ne vais pas refaire les centaines de ship silhouettes)
Désolé, là je suis sur beaucoup plus important …

What a mess in those zon boxes
Plenty are offset, even out of sector!
Spheres too are many times offset. Not to say the ones missing…
No wonder why some ships never took fire!

That said, it’s not only concerning MFM ships… but ships imported from others megamod … …even some warships
Wondering if people understood how some boxes are working. Well anyway it will be corrected after huge amount of time…

As always. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been away for a while. Have downloaded the latest and will do some patrols!
