Lehmann-Willenbrock. All Information. 8/31/1939

Gunther Prien. All Information. 8/31/1939

Thats great! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Great support here! One thing to make my account perfect would be the fix of my U-Boot number.

Actually U-29. Changing to U-96 would be much appreciated.

You have to do that yourself. There are some files in Documents/SH5 you have to edit. I'll be able to use my computer in 49 minutes, so I'll give you the names of the files then :)

Also, I too change my VII C hull number to U-96, who wouldn't? :D

Okay excell, here's what you have to do. This only works while you're in the bunker.

Go to C:/Users/Your Username/My Documents/SH5/data/cfg/SaveGames.

Select the most recently modified folder.

Open ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc with notepad.

Use Ctrl+F to find your currently assigned hull number (in your case U-29), and replace it with your desired number. Make sure you find all entries with your current number.

Open CareerTrack.upc with notepad.

Use Ctrl+F to find your currently assigned hull number, and replace it with your desired number. Make sure you find all entries with your current number.

Open the folder 'UPCInitial'.

Open ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc with notepad.

Use Ctrl+F to find your currently assigned hull number, and replace it with your desired number. Make sure you find all entries with your current number.

Open CareerTrack.upc with notepad.

Use Ctrl+F to find your currently assigned hull number, and replace it with your desired number. Make sure you find all entries with your current number.

Warham, can you somehow put into use information about the number of used torpedoes per patrol? :hmm2:

How about adding some bonuses/penalties for captains who use/do not use real navigation, wind & smoke addon, external views, map contacts ect? Some of these information are contained in the save game folder...

Do you planing any additional cool feature?
I must say again, your commander gave totally new dimension to SH5...:rock:

Realy, there is info about torpedos in savefiles :up: There isn't in SH4 savefiles. Torpedos was very expensive and I think bdu was not very happy when they were fired into the milk. interesting is game gives the penalties for it? If not i can give it. I am not greedy for penalties :D

I don't know about bonuses/penalties for realism level. On the one hand everyone plays as he wants. On the other if you want to compare your achievements with other players want to compare it to those who play on the same difficulty. Any ideas about it?

About other cool features I'm open to suggestions :salute:

Thanks for your help but in game my sub already own the number U-96. I changed that in the past but the values are not transferred to KSD!

Warham, maybe you also could change this in KSD?

Sure, go for it. U-96 got about 5 commanders in his service time.:salute:

It will update automatically after you will return to base.

OK, in CaptainLog.ini file you can find entries like this one...

Code:

[Log Entry 34]

ClassID=48C76BD;sLogTorpedoEntry

Type=8

Date=19401120

Time=85453

Blob=0

UniqueID=-6286536489219097451

EntryStatus=1

CreatedMissionStatus=false

EntryTitle=Torpedo in the water

Categ=-1

TorpedoEvent=1

You will not find info about the exact number of torpedoes used per patrol, but if you somehow "count" mentioned entries, you can reveal info how many fishes were used and even when...

You will also find similar entries but with EntryTitle=Torpedo missed, sir!. You shouldn't use these because, most of the time, there is good chance that torpedo will hit something even after our sonarmen declares "torpedo miss" (especially when shooting salvos).

Currently, KSDCommander reads our Difficulty level from CareerTrack.upc file , right?
The main problem with this system is that it is unreliable. For example...You can select realistic settings when you start new campaign, and then if you change your realism settings while in the bunker (uncheck no external views, no map contacts ect) , realism level in CareerTrack.upc file will still be shown as "realistic".
Inside every savegame folder there is a file called "GameplaySettings.cfg" with entries like these...

Code:

[Current]

LimitedBatteries=true

LimitedCompressedAir=true

LimitedO2=true

LimitedFuel=true

RealisticRepairTime=true

ManualTargetingSystem=true

NoMapUpdate=true

RealisticSensors=true

DudTorpedoes=true

RealisticReload=true

NoEventCamera=true

NoExternalView=true

NoStabilizeView=true

MPShowPlayerNames=false

MPShowTorpedoes=false

NoShipHealthBar=true

NoGunProjectilePath=true

Maybe you can somehow make KSDCommander to read these values and let it decide on it's own which realism level should be displayed in the program...:hmm2: Something similar you have already done with medals , If I'm not mistaken...

Just my suggestions...:up:

Hi gray wolves

Could someone please advise me what to do, I could write in the chat? Statistics and other works for me, but I can not figure out how to open a chat in the bar.
I am sorry for my English.

You should connect automatically. Sometimes it takes time.

New version

- Adding launched torpedoes counter.
- Realistic level now counts in percents.
- Adding record for Objective Achieved event.

Info about realistic level, torpedoes and Objective Achieved will add after you will get in KSDCommander next time. So if you see that any captain have launched torpedoes = 0 it is likely that he just has not visited the program after this update.

But there is entries with EntryTitle=Torpedo Impact!.

What if I take away from the total number of launched torpedoes torpedoes that impact and get the number of torpedoes that missed? And then for every missed torpedo will minus 10 merit points? Torpedoes were very expensive and it provides an incentive to save them. What do you think about it? And maybe there is EntryTitle with something like defective torpedo?

I deleted died event from your Cpt.Kurtz for reason his stats updated with torpedoes count. I hope you have not deleted saves with Cpt.Kurtz. And add dead event again after next visit in program please.

Thanks for your suggestions.

You need to write your login and password in right upper corner. Then program will remember you with this login and password. Its like registration.

Stand by, I have to check something... It seems that when you shoot salvo , the game will count it as single "torpedo in the water" entry, which is not good...:hmmm:

I'm also going to upload Cpt.Kurtz's save game folder so you can examin it in more details...Is that OK?
