Removing the bow wake from ships

[crazyeddie]

This is the long shot to end all long shots.

 

Anyone know how to remove the bow wave from ships, not all ships, I dont want to remove the facility completely, just a specific ship (a submerged submarine which is underway).

 

I have done all the speculating about how it might be done, nothing obvious works, so I'm guessing its hard coded in the game somewhere.

 

I can adjust the tail wake, its width, where it starts, even what it looks like, thats all adjustable in the .lua, but the bow wave has me stumped.

 

All sensible suggestion will be reviewed, all stupid ones will get you lashed with a length of smelly seaweed !! :smilewink:

Maybe you can find the texture and clear its Alpha channel. - Just a guess (I'm at work).

If that worked it would remove the wake from ALL ships, I'm trying to remove it from a specific submerged submarine in the ME, I can get rid of the tail wake which would not be there if the sub was submerged, that detail is all contained in the boats .lua file, but cant find a way to remove the bow wave as well, but thanks for your interest.

 

We have a boat on the surface, bow wave, wake all as it should be, we have a boat sitting just under the water with a periscope up, no tail wake, but that huge bow wave, way too big as it is, and the boat submerged, also with that bow wave ... the bow wave is the problem.

 

Submerged Submarine with a surface bow wave, perhaps not that great an idea after all, sadly, the Shipyard Manager is not going to be happy !!!!

Sorted ... many thanks to Patrick56. Submerged Submarines minus the bow wave and any wake, perfect.

yeah, just add -- in the lua file

example

--GT.X_nose = 93.00
