hey fellas i have another question regarding the hunting by hydro, i've got a decent feel for it now i mostly started using the four bearing method...but ....what do you do when say for example ur soundguy pops up saying "new contact bearing 137 degrees" so you start to track it ... u wait the alloted amount of time say for example 10 mins, you check again...only this time it tells you the bearing of the warship.... and its back and forth and back and forth without ever getting a steady reading... is there some kind of little trick that im not aware of to just focus in on the merchant instead of the warship?

I know I have not been posting lots lately, as usual real life and work has kept me busy. I had been contemplating getting back into subsim as I have found places to purchase Dangerous Waters which I always was interested in.

However in the last two days I got hit with a massive blow to the gut. A very dear friend has lost her 12 year old niece in an accident. I am gutted as I knew the child, still recall hen she was born and met her years later. Hug your kids if you have them. Recall what is important, reviews of your fave sub flick on Amazon, or nerd rage about a game console are not.

Hi all,

I seem to be having issues with my boats gun crews. They are objecting to getting their feet a little wet. Nothing to do with bad weather, but the depth at which the boat transitions from surfaced state to submerged state.

The submerged state seems to kick in when the depth passes 6m.

This is unfortunate, as the boat seems to 'wallow' just beyond that depth point when stationary/one-third bell in otherwise perfect weather a gun action.

Is there an easy parameter to set in a .cfg file somewhere to move this state border to 6.5 or 7 m so that my gunners stay at their posts reliably?

Cheers in advance...

I just got the message and I'm heart broken, I loved that guy for his incredible talent and his calm and charming attitude he had in interviews.

Rest in Peace James, you left us way too soon...

I have donated to Subsim most recently maybe 6 months ago.Anyway I went to D/L the mod "We dive at Dawn" and it would not allow me.I thought you got access to the bonus mods permanently for donating once.

Anyway is that an error or dose you assess to the bonus mods expire at certain donation levels? Not that any of this will bar me from donating in the future though I might choose a larger amount in the future.:hmm2:

I am just curious if not being able to get the bonus mod is an error or not.

Thanks.

Edit: I still have the "Thanks Mate" buddy with the thumbs in my notices which has been there since ~2012.

This happened a little while back, but it is interesting. I know there are a few LEOs in Subsim; I doubt if any had to do what this officer had to in order to retrieve evidence...

For those unfamiliar with the La Brea Tar Pits, they are a large series of naturally occurring tar pools in the middle of a park in one of the most fasionable areas of Los Angeles. The pools are the site of various fossil digs and have produced a large number of fossil finds. The entire area of the park and beyond used to be an oil field in the early 1900s and tar, various noxious gases, and other ooze often bubbles to the suface of the streets and sidewalks in the area. Several years back, an accumulation of gasses from underground ignited in the basement of a clothing store and went off with a very loud explosion. Fortunately, and miraculously, no one was hurt, but there were plumes of flames burning from cracks in the sidewalk and streets as fara as a block away.

Hi,

I have created a new SH3 Log mod and I would be happy if courageous beta testers could test it and report back. Here's the link and the readme:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4107

SH3 Log tool Readme

Version 0.1 Beta

Written by LGN1, June 2013

Hi,

have you ever wondered how your crew in SH3 can tell you that you have just sunken a ship although the ship is more than 10km away and you are heavily depth-charged? Probably not, because it's obviously completely unrealistic that your crew knows exactly which ships you have sunken, how large these were, of what kind they were,...

The aim of the present mod/app is to change this unrealistic aspect of SH3 by removing/hiding your successes as much as possible during a patrol. Now it's you (instead of the spy-sat log) who has to pay attention which ships sink, how large they are,... Now YOU must properly identify the targets, witness the sinking, keep a log, and...report to BdU after the patrol via the mod/app. BdU will then check your report...and decide what to believe. Here's an example:








How it works:
-------------
The mod removes/hides your results during a patrol as good as possible. In addition, the information is hidden in the menu screens, i.e., you cannot accidently see the results in a menu screen. During a patrol you must keep notes about your sinkings,... After a patrol you start the app and enter your data (see Pic1.jpg and Pic2.jpg). After submitting the data, your claimed results are checked and (internally) compared to the true results. Depending on the difference, BdU will accept or reject the claims.


Installation:
-------------
The app is a perl script converted to an executable. If you want you can open the executable (e.g., with 7zip) and see what the script does. You must copy the executable to the directory where SH3 stores the save-games/careers (usually ...\Documents\SH3\data\cfg). It should be in the same directory as, e.g., GameplaySettings.cfg, main.cfg, and the Careers folder. I recommend to send a link to your desktop to easily start/access the app.

To hide the information from your SH3 installation, you have to do the following (for stock GWX and NYGM the changes are included in a jsgme-ready mod):


1.) Remove command for accessing captain's log. The standard key is 'k' (players with enough self-discipline can skip this):

[Cmd65]
Name=Toggle_captain_log
Ctxt=1
;Key0=0x4B,,"K" <-- put a semicolon in front of this line


2.) Remove icons for sunken/destroyed units. Copy the files AirDestroyed.tga and ShipDestroyed.tga to ...\data\Menu\Gui\Units.


3.) Change the text entries 582,583(Screen when ending patrol); 4140,4141,4142(Crew message for sinking),
4173,4174,4175,4176(Status reports):

de_menu.txt:
582=Einsatz beendet|||||||Anfangsbesatzung:|Endbesatzung:
583=;%d|%d|%d|%d|%d|%d
4140=Folge festgelegtem Kurs! ;Feindliche Einheit zerstört
4141=Folge festgelegtem Kurs! ;Verbündete Einheit zerstört
4142=Folge festgelegtem Kurs! ;Neutrale Einheit zerstört
4173=Tanker versenkt. ;Versenkte Tanker: %d
4174=Frachter versenkt. ;Versenkte Frachter: %d
4175=Kriegsschiff(e) versenkt. ;Versenkte Kriegsschiffe: %d
4176=;Gesamttonnage: %d

en_menu.txt:
582=Mission ended|||||||Starting crew:|Ending crew:
583=;%d|%d|%d|%d|%d|%d
4140=Following plotted course!;She's going down!
4141=Following plotted course!;She's going down!
4142=Following plotted course!;She's going down!
4173=Tanker(s) sunk.;: %d
4174=Cargo ship(s) sunk.;: %d
4175=Warship(s) sunk.;: %d
4176=;Total tonnage: %d


4.) Adjust positions in menu.ini:

[G08 I2]
Name=Hist
Type=1040;Scroll text
ItemID=0x8000002
ParentID=0x8000000
;Pos=623,589,389,468
Pos=623,589,389,180

5.) The following two entries remove the renown value on the main campaign screen.
NYGM players can see on this screen their true tonnage value (probably only critical for first patrol).

[G04 I2]; (Not required for players using renown system, i.e., non-NYGM players)
Name=Layer
Type=1030;Static bmp
ItemID=0x4000009
ParentID=0x4000000
;Pos=57,270,233,270
Pos=1157,270,233,270

[G04 I3]; (Not required for players using renown system, i.e., non-NYGM players)
Name=Desc
Type=1029;Static text
ItemID=0x400000A
ParentID=0x4000000
;Pos=85,260,188,250
Pos=85,90,188,100

6.) Players who use the ship-name feature in SH3 Commander should open the file 'Ship names.cfg' (located in the cfg folder in their SH3 Commander installation) and use the following parameters:

[SETTINGS]
...
AddText=1

[TEXT]
AddAsNewLine=1

If only ship names should be added (and no cargo information and losses), set 'AddText=0'. In case of 'AddText=1' always choose 'AddAsNewLine=1'.



**************************************
Some important notes:
---------------------

1) This script is probably not 100% foolproof. Unreasonable input parameters may lead to messed-up output.
It is not checked whether the input parameters make sense. I recommend to leave the backup-option always ticked.

2) Feel free to modify/improve the script as you wish. If you do so, please share it with others. The script is probably not very elegant, but straight-forward. If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

3) Use at own risk! Please post any feedback here at Subsim:

Hi
I am having 3 issues with Sh5 at the moment which is really destroying my faith in it again.

I am playing a singleplayer mission named HG10 and have the following issues

1. CTD's happen regularly when looking through the Attack periscope.

2. I was in the middle of a convoy and hit 2 ships with torpedoes and saved the game. When i went back to it later the 2 ships were sailing along undamaged as though I had never hit them with torpedoes. So I tried mission again and after hitting 3 ships and saving while close to convoy. When i re-loaded the saved mission teh convoy had disappeared.

3. When i opened the mission in Mission Editor I was geeting errors that Hogg Island ship didnt exist .

Any ideas.

Hey All,

I'm having a problem trying to apply the 1.5 patch to
Silent Hunter 4.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled SH4 after having issues (I couldn't apply the patch before either). So the game is now vers 1.0 I think.

If I try to apply the patch which is file name 4Gb_Patch_for_SH4.exe which was downloaded from SubSim.
it says it can't apply the patch because it's an unknown version.

I'm not installing into defaul folder, I install all games into C:\Games so it's C:\Games\Silent Hunter 4 which shouldn't make any difference
since I point the patch to that folder.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

I've just had the following email from 777 Studios -

Well as the Oakland A's are currently looking into the possibility of moving their team to San Jose. Apparently, San Jose is suing, because apparently, the fact that the A's aren't moving is due to a "conspiracy" against them.:huh:
