Fisherman82 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 There seem to be two types of bow wakes, the old one that is just a simple white spray that you can set with the GT.nose parameter in the lua file for the ship and a newer one where the water actually is pushed before the ship, ED uses that for the Handy Wind ship for example. Its also used in the Civillian Nautical Mods pack by Eight Ball? How do I use this new type of bow wake in my mods? I cant see a parameter for it in the lua files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 There is a file called "Nimitz_CVN_71.lods.ship_wake" it's the SHIP_WAKE file in the >>>CoreMods\tech\USS_Nimitz\Shapes Copy that file into your mods shape file and rename it accordingly... lodsfilename.lods.ship_wake open it in a text editor like Notepad++ and modify it accordingly. Now I'm back from my hols I'll do a proper write up on Sunday. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

joey45 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Don't think so.. But try have the dummies.
