Hi Beast !

I use your MOD, but when I install the new updated "UHS-MOD 1.6 Repack" from here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1775

at last in my JSGME-List that overrides the File "UBoot_Sensors.sim" from your MOD ! :hmmm:

Now my question: Can you please make a compatible version of the above file from your MOD that works together with the new updated UHS-MOD ?? :D

Because I want to play with your MOD AND the new updated UHS-MOD and start a new campaign, but I think I must wait that both files are compatible, or ???? :hmmm:

Best regards,
Magic:salute:

Hi Magic,

I didn't add compatibility for this mod because I didn't realize it changed the Uboot_sensors.sim.......

If this mod changes only the sub coatings, the hydrophone detection depths and the round radio antenna, then UHS would be installed last....

You would lose TheBeast's settings and retain the UHS changes to teh Uboot_sensors.sim

Many thanks for reply :up: , but If I were sure that the MOD from Beast only change sub coatings, the hydrophone detection depths and the round radio antenna, then I would enable your MOD at last, but the point is, I´m NOT sure, whether these are the only changes:hmmm:, or whether I loose functions of the MOD from "Beast" when I override his "UBoot_sensor.sim" File ? :hmmm:

Best regards,
Magic

Hmmmm.... Going over TheBeast's Uboot_sensors.sim and notice there are elements of UHS in it, radar ranges, hydrophone ranges etc.....

Considering UHS settings are in this mod, maybe a throw a credit my way :)

@Magic

I see there are some changes, what I can do is make a version of UHS sensors for this mod..... In the meantime overwriting the sensors with UHS sensors will not cause any problems........

That would be great when you can do a compatible version of your MOD with this MOD from Beast ! :woot::up::woot:

Many thanks in advance ! :salute:

For now just install UHS's SIM file last. Or use the Uboot_Sensors.SIM from TDW FX MOD.

I really want to pull the SIM out of this MOD because this MOD is for Equipment Upgrades at the in port Mechanics Upgrades. Didn't intend to step on anyone's toe's.

I thought that I PM'd TDW and DDrgn asking them to add the Anti-Sensor Coating TextureSuffix change to their MODs if they wanted too a few weeks ago.

All the changes in the SIM file contained in this MOD is stuff I was playing with back in May of last year. I was working with BIGREG to create the Raised and Rotating Antenna MOD. TDW rolling these settings into his MOD back then. The Sonar Opperational Depths was added per request from several people and the other changes may have been that I had a MOD installed when I grabbed the SIM to work on it.
Specific's for many SIM file changes I did are in my [TEC] thread linked in post #1

The only New change to UBoot_Sensors.sim is changing TextureSuffix for the Anti-Sensor Coatings. Stock all TextureSuffix = albrecht and only the 1 (Alberich) Coating was available as upgeade option. This MOD adds the other 3 coatings that were missing.
Alberich = albrecht (not changed)
Albercht_Improved = alb_imp
Tarnmatte = tarn
Tarnmatte_Improved = tarn_imp

If these Anti-Sensor Coating changes are not in the SIM file, the bonus is still applied and Skin Texture will just use default Starter Skin.

Hello TheBeast, I tested your Fix with reaper7´s UI Mod v.4.0 and I have a problem with tanker Cimmaron. I tested your fix in single Mission with 4 ships, including a tanker Cimmaron.

Tested with reaper7´s UI Mod v. 4.00:

Without your fix:

With your fix:

http://postimage.org/image/1l3r6hwf8/

This problem must be somwhere in compatibility of your Fix and reaper´s UI, because I´ve had the same problem with previous version 3.1 of reaper7´s UI mod (In v. 4.00 this problem is solved):

But you say you have seen this issue using previous versions of Reaper7's UI but appears to be fixed in v4.0. How can you say issue is in this MOD?:06:
Maybe v4.0 really does not solve the problem...
Why has no one else reported this issue.

I see Cimmaron Tanker in Campaign all the time. I am using New_UIs_TDC by TheDarkWraith or CSP MaGUI by DrJones.
What is the Single Mission you are using?:06:

This MOD does not touch any Mechant Vessels.
I do not touch any Mission or Campaign files.
I do not touch Cameras settings.

The only possible link I can think of is memory useage. This MOD adds several previously missing equipment to the in port Mechanic Upgrades list. These equipment already existed, all this MOD does is provide access to these equipment.

Although you used good troubleshooting method, I do not think this MOD is cause of your issue because you had this issue prior to this MOD existing.

Sorry TheBeast. I tested all mods, including reaper7´s UI mod v. 4.0 and all worked fine.

Activated your mod and I had this problem. If your mod not cause this problem, I apologize, buit I did not mean any harm. May be a problem with my PC, but a simple test in the single mission showed me this, nothing more;) When I deactivated your mod, the tanker Cimmaron showed in single mission correctly. But as I say, it could be a problem in my PC;)

Have you applied the 4GIG patch to SH5.EXE and run the BCDEDIT command to tell OS to allow SH5.exe to use more then 2GIG memory?
BCDEDIT Command is a must do for 32bit OS. Not sure it is even needed for 64bit OS.

I do not use "the 4GIG patch to SH5.EXE" and "the BCDEDIT command". I´m sorry, I´ll probably look like a fool in you eyes, but I do not know what it is. I have previously used the 4patch for SHIII, but I do not know that something like this exists for SH5.

TheDarkWraith provides information on 4GIG Patch is his Mega-MOD thread.

I really suggest installing this change. You will be amazed by your system performance increase. I know I was.

Even if you only have 2GIG of RAM The OS wll use Virtual Mememory (Swap to Disk).

IPevious to 4GIG patch I had many CTD issue's. Now after 4GIG patch I almost never CTD.

I have 4GB RAM (2 x DIMM DDR2 2048 MB 800MHz).

Thanks TheBeast for the advice, I do not use TDW´s Megamod and therefore I do not know about this 4GB patch for SH5.

I downloaded TDW´s Megamod and patch, but I can´t find inside this 4GB patch for SH5. Where do I find it please?

it is not part of the Mega-MOD. Just information in that Forums Thread telling you how to do it and what tools are needed with links to those tools.

Here is link to Post for 4GIG Patch
