To:Officers thru Bilge seaman,hear this !
After 6 mo.of playing SHIV,The "Date line bug",never fixed. The "Domino Effect"{your dead in 30 seconds no reason}still exists. Modding is trying to push the envelope of graphics,past the art of the game engine.Scripted layers,are building planes in the middle of the ocean,& cargo convoys are scarce.Jan.1945
We are using T_M_1-6,not patched,because on patrol.We have smoke on the water,like we just sank something? following us around. We have no torp gyro off-set line on attack map. Ship.tga shape files not found on Nav.map. Having downloaded the patch,& waiting to return to port,Midway if we can dock,Pearl if we must,to start outside harbor,again Midway. To get torp trac back,hopefully? we have removed the zones.cfg from the mod patch,because 5 fish is a waste of ordinance/not much fun to sink something.
I wanted to elaborate on "Domino Effect",we just put two fish in a liner,she turned turtle, that was cool our first time to see real sinking. Crashed dived to thermal,went silent,full rt.rudder,speed 1 kt to 200 ft.,went to external cam,to ck out DDs Ops.,nothing within 1,000 yds. all of a sudden catastrophic domino damage,blackscreen you have had It ! 7%previous hull?
It's not a wonder,that this game does frustrate,even the salty Skippers. Thinking about aborting patrol,& patching,or going back to tested 1.5_T_M. Does anyone have a link to T_M_1.5,needed to reverse engineer missing files.Is it worth it ?(Unknown)
We need at least one genius file manipulating code developer committed to state of the art understanding of nodes,& file connections,or this baby will be sterial for life.The crew of automotons; IE.There are phrases for them to say in response to orders,that aren't connected. The game is so unfinished/not as intended by the dev team,that it makes one think it has cancer. The state of the art, perhaps has not come very far since SH1 10 yrs ago ! What a shame Bill Gates has made millions,so can game play in computers technology,again pleading for SHIV's success.>>Fan Buoy,Donut
