[REL] Operation Monsun - Page 35

mobius22 · 08-23-08, 03:46 PM

I have a problem. AI ships are riding too low or too high. Most are good, but many BR destroyers are riding verrry low, decks awash low. Then I saw a troop transport riding about a foot in draft.

Please help.

Running (in install order)
TMO152 with patches
RSDC with pathces
PE with TMO patches

What i found:

1.) The torpedosetup i load isnt there when i leave the harbour. I know this has been discussed, but will it be fixed? (just asking, no pressure. Is there a workaround TXT file?)

2.) When using chrashdivebutton your compressed air is going down rapidly. Doing the same dive without the crashbutton does not wear compressed air down. Dive without crashbuttons means manually diving the boat by selecting the deepth! (maybe has been adressed too)

3.) Escorts are way to easy (Im playing on very hard). Maybe this has to do with the timing of my campaign because i dont know how it will be 1944 or later, yet they barely catch me or drop waterbombs.

4.) Crew does not repair any damage at all. my deckgun is damaged 0.021 and they are not repairing! They have the order and they are activated.

Otherwise a very good mod! I enjoy playing it.

Hi guys,

Forget Nr. 2-4 for now i just wanna concentrate on nr 1 the torpedo loadout problem. I searched the forums a little bit and found a corresponding thing about the torpedo loadout problem http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=445

I reinstalled all mods new and put OM400 as the last one. I started a new carreer and found out that the problem does not exist anymore. How can i save my running carrer from the first OM400X Beta and get rid of the torpedo loadout bug?

What you need to do is edit the UPCGE file for each submarine to mach it's .sim file.

If you open the .sim file, for example, type 9C you will file an entry called wpn_subtorpedosys. If you expand that file you will discover entries for each tube.

In those entry there is a line "door = NSS Uboat9c_door2_xxxx"
and it must match exactly with the highlighted line below.

[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1.WeaponSlot 1]
ID= TorpMountS1
NameDisplayable= Torpedo Tube V
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes= TorpedoTube
UserCustomizable=No
IDLinkBunker=SternTorpedoRoom
IDLinkWeaponIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1942-11-01, TorpedoTube533Ger, T2Torpedo
IDLinkWeaponIntervalDefault2= 1942-11-02, 1943-03-31, TorpedoTube533Ger, T3Torpedo
IDLinkWeaponIntervalDefault3= 1943-04-01, 1944-03-31, TorpedoTube533Ger, T1Fat1Torpedo
IDLinkWeaponIntervalDefault4= 1944-04-01, 1944-10-31, TorpedoTube533Ger, T5Torpedo
IDLinkWeaponIntervalDefault5= 1944-11-01, NULL, TorpedoTube533Ger, T5Torpedo
ExternalNodeName3D= NULL
ExternalObjectName3D= NSS_Uboat9c_Door02_BR_anim
ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D= 61

Also, to clarify, in the sim file Tube 0=tube 1, tube 1=tube 2, and so on

This is not necessary. It is fixed in OM V400. Also this fix was exampled in the following thread

Hi

a quick quiestion:
I usually play with auto TDC, and the sequence goes as follow:

I find a target
lock via periscope
have to have also the nav menu in the lower tool bar
press button to bring up the german TDC to adjutst speed, depth, salvo etc.
however, it usually takes time to click this button or maybe the lower toolbar is on other main menu

how do I assign an unused keyboard key to bring it up automatically instead of searching for it?

Which Flotilla. Also the Type IID's do not become available until Sept 1940. I just conducted a test based on the limited info, using a Sept 40 start date, I'm unable to recreate your problem.

Your going to have to provide more info.

mobius22 · 08-24-08, 07:30 PM

Hey, I know that their isn't supposed to be an attack on New York Harbor, but why aren't there any targets at Scappa Flow? Or the Rock?

Those targets aren't as far fetched as New York or another allied harbor *especially since there was an attack on Scappa Flow, if I recall. Sank the Royal Oak.)

There is shipping in Scappa Flow, go ahead an do a U-47 mission in 1939, you will find shipping.

As far as the "Rock", that is part of the the Mediterranean, which will be covered in V500

Hey there...I have a problem with OM V400

When I surface my U-Boat it happens really often that no watch crew is coming to the bridge and the CO'2 is not dropping...so Boat runs on Diesel but the Game Engine seems not to recognize the Boat's as "really surfaced".

What can I do against this?!

1st Flotilla. Maybe it was later date coz for sure I got these missions when I got type II D under my command. What more info you need ?

Confirm what version of OM are you using.

Was it the first mission of a career ?

All info you can provide on how this problem happen.

FYI. When the system gives you the "Fremantle mission" it's saying that it can't find a "valid" mission assigment.

Whenever you surface, try clicking the CO2 icon instead of the "s" key.
