Suggestions for mods and enhancements

Post by SoulBlazer »

I was wondering if anyone might consider some small tweaks to the game to help to 'imense' oneself in the experience:

1) Putting in some actuall wartime songs for both the Japanese and the Allied side (stuff like American Civil War songs, etc.)
2) Replacing the victory cheers when a base falls to a small bit of the national anthem for either Japan or the US/Australia.
3) Changing the graphic used on the bomardment and sub attack screens (and making sure they have 800 by 600 support)
4) Replacing the ship sinking sound with something like a sailor screaming 'Abandon Ship!' or something better then the bathtub noise we have. ;)
5) Seeing if weather effects can be visualy added for surface combats, air battles, and air attacks -- if it's partly cloudy, show a couple clouds, if raining, show rain, etc.
6) Adding a tiny national flag to the pics for airplanes and ships so we know at a glance which nation they are from.
7) Fixing the class data used on the pictures for the ships (it's wrong in several cases, espeicly with the subs.)

Anybody feeling really ambitious? :D

I think that Jap victory cheer is quite impressive. US not.

Number three is good. When bombardment TF meet coastal guns it would be nice to see some graphics.

No 5. good point.

My minor wish is keep track for sub commanders. It would be nice to know sub kills.

I’m currently working on large set of alternative graphics for both resolutions, unfortunately I don’t have enough time right now for this, I hope it will be available at Spooky site next month. I’ve sent some examples to my opponents and they think this is worthy stuff. I have some plans for sound mods also.

5) Seeing if weather effects can be visualy added for surface combats, air battles, and air attacks -- if it's partly cloudy, show a couple clouds, if raining, show rain, etc.

To do so you have to modify exe file and that’s risky, although it’s not impossible.
