[REL] Longer Repair Times v1.34

Hehe. Thanks. You're too kind. :p

Well, it appears that I figured out what was causing the false compartment flood recovery. Also, there is a workaround for the compartment destroyed message when trying to move an officer into a damaged compartment. This message is a bug caused by increasing compartment hitpoints (such as LRT does). Anyways, the workaround is to left click on the supposed 'destroyed' compartment. Then right click on the officer or crewman to move him into that compartment. It really works.

I have been playtesting this new version with the terrain collision damage disabled and heavier compartment flood settings. I was heavily depth charged, and sunk to the bottom sea bed. After hours and hours of trying to control the flooding and pump out the water, we ran out off oxygen and died before we could lift her off the ocean floor. She was still too heavy from all that sea water in the compartments. Talk about a Das Boot moment.

Very cool! Sounds like we (you) are very close to the Promised Land!

*Released for testing*

LRT v1.35a test (For GWX 1.03 only)

This LRT alpha test version disables the terrain collision damage, increases compartment flood weight, and slows compartment flood times. The false repaired compartment flooding was also *hopefully* fixed. All testers please post your comments and opinions in this thread after playing. Thanks!

To install, just install this over your current LRT v1.35

So will this mod work with GWX 2.0?

No, not compatible with GWX 2. v1.35x is only compatible with GWX v1.03.

I do plan on releasing an LRT compatible with GWX 2 in the next few weeks.

I to played alot of AOD was still playing it untill about 4 years ago. That sim/game for some reason really captured those type of events. Super challenging to survive!

LRT mod is a definite winner in my mind Id let ya know how the LRT's work but I dont get much game time these days to mod &/or test.... any how...

Cheers nvdrifter!

Hi Nvdrifter,

Thanks for making the changes. I quick question - does SHIII allow you to clear all the water in the boat my blowing the ballast tanks (ie using the compressed air to blow out the bilges and trim tanks which you could pump or drain water into?).

IIRC this could be done in AOD and if could be implemented (if not already done) via the LRT mod that would be truly Das Boot!

Thanks again

Vermin

Does anyone have this version of LRT (1.35a test)? I tried to download, but the link is dead. I would appreciate if anyone could upload it or share it with me. Thank you.

Very nice , thank you a lot mate !

Er I use LRT 1.32 but I have recently patched GWX to 1.03 so I think this would be incompatible. Can anyone send me the LRT 1.34 or 1.35 versions please? Filefront link is down again.

[Jochem]

And yes, i'm too interesting to get 1.35 but i can't find it
