Floating Debris

DD_Debris_V1.1.rar

This mod contains a flotsam package of:

wooden barrel
oildrum
crates
lifebelt
rowboat

It is fully JSGME compatible and comes with a small test mission. To see the flotsam ingame you have to create a mission. It will no spawn automatically.

Visible Mines

DD_VisibleMines_V1.0.rar

before installation / after installation

You may even blast them with your deck gun / flak.

This tiny mod makes the mines of any minefield partly visible when breaking the water line. It will be a part of the next DD_Debris version. It depends on the depth you set them in ME whether you see them or not. If all the mines are slightly below the surface they break through the water line only when the swell allows them to do. You don´t have to rework your minefields. All existing minfields will be "updated" automatically. It is fully JSGME compatible.

Open Hatch V2 - ALL TYPES

DD_all_types_OH_V2.7z

The mod should run with all SHIII installations and contains the typeII + VII interiors as you know them from GWX2, except the lights. TypeIX is almost the same as before but got some small improvements regarding graphical glitches, though there are still some remaining. As it is based on GWX files now, the Bordinstrumente mod is not needed anymore to have HiRes graphics for the CR. The typeXXI was a bit tricky as CR and RR do not fit together actually. I hope you don´t recognize. LOL. It is fully JSGME compatible.

Open Hatch V2 - WAC patch

DD_OH_V2.101_TVII_WAC.rar

This patch gets you rid off the yellow ring around the typeVII hatch. It was made for WAC users but may be used with any other installation. I recommend to use it if you have my wooden speedboat installed. Credits for error reporting and testing to Cheapskate and Redwine.
