Same here :cry:

P.S.: This time I really deactivated all mods, really only yours is running.

Raptor1 04-27-08 09:41 AM

Yup, Same here, Also I seem to be missing the forward main gun, and apparently you start with no crew if you have OM...

@ Xantrokoles

Man, I have no words:o ..
It's wonderful. I'd like to know if it is capable of launching torpedoes or only fires its guns.

Oh..just one last thing...do the crew looks like japanese or it's only my eyes' trick?

lancerr 04-27-08 10:16 AM

awesome
 
Definitely made my day. A couple of bugs but otherwise an awesome mod. Thanks for all your hard work. Hopefully my notes can help fix some of the issues

My environment
Core 2 Duo, Nviida 7900GS
SH4 1.5 +TMO

Loaded single player mission, switched to german side, picked pocket battleship

My notes.

1. Started off the mission and texture on the hull is like picture 1
2. Took a couple of hits and the ship looks like 2&3
3. After about 5-10 hits from small caliber guns, gotten messages saying periscope destroyed, etc. and then I started sinking

I hope these notes and pictures help. This is going to be a great mod.

I had a problem with the install of the Fubuki, not big problem, now the same problem with Battleship. You install folder is not correct for the default path:

SH4 is not installed in "Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific"
I did not change the default path when the game was installed and the correct folder name on my computer is:
"Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific" There is no "4" in the folder name so it creates a new folder. Not a big problem for me, I just move it to the correct Mods folder, but a beginner may not know that, and will have trouble installing and it will not show up in JSGME.
Also a suggestion to rename the Readme file to PocketBattleshipreadme so we will know what it is for.
This is a pic of my Battleship:
http://home.roadrunner.com/%7Epeabody/SH4/pbs.jpg

Purple ship problem:
Did NOT happen in Fubuki 1.0
Does happen in Fubuki 1.1 and Pocket Battleship 1.0

So you can narrow it down to something that was changed from Fubuki 1.0 because it did not happen in that version. That may be a lot of changes, but it happen when you went to Fubuki 1.1 and it is still in PBS.

More notes
 
Here are some more notes to help you debug.

1, Unistalled Graf Spee & Realism mod, loaded german side torpedoes mission - CTD
2. Started Campaign, picked Admiral Scheer, changed port to Surabaya. I get assigned IXD2 type Uboat instead
3. Started Campaign, picked Admiral Scheer. Launch mission. Accelerate to 4096 X Time compression, when I get a radar contact I hit the - button to slow time down and I get CTD.

W4lt3r 04-27-08 10:49 AM

Regarding the early sinking, maybe reinforcing different ship parts that really dont belong there, like the periscope and so.. So they aren't so vulnerable to be "ghost flooded" by small caliber guns.. Although that is just only a bad hypothesis but it might be a start.

I think someone posted info regarding the how to make subs lot more durable.. Maybe same information could be reprocessed when adjusting this ship's durability.

First,

Thank You for this outstanding great Mod ! :up:

second,

ive the same issue with red and green textures here :88) (nvidia 8800GTX, 169.21)


maybe this info is helpful:

Fubuki`s last version from 26 April had also a texture problem (turned purple after it got damaged), so i grab all files from version of 16 April and copyed them over, after that all went ok for me.

Will-Rommel 04-27-08 11:40 AM

Got the red/green skin too this time. I experienced this with and without Kriller2 skin on.

Keep going Xan! :D
