Precondition for h.sie's V16B1 is a v1.4b sh3.exe !

At the german marinesims.de forum, a user posted a combined convoy attack, consisting of aircraft and AI-subs from the Wolfpack-Mod.

download what? The Wolfpack Mod? It's part of the V16B hardcode patch. The aircraft attack after a contact report is stock sh3 behavior.

hehe so lucky, thought he added aircraft to the wolfpack mod. Never mind.

@CaptainMark:Glad you like it. Regarding visual sensor settings:

I don't know the "final truth". The optimum settings seem also to depend on some other settings in sensors.dat, thus I cannot give a general solution.

Try the following: Set

- Visual range factor = 0.5
- Visual fog factor = 1.02

as fixed values and only vary

Visual light factor between 0.5 and 5.0 and investigate its influence on detection at day and night and choose a value that fits your personal taste.

Thank you h.sie for your reply. I will give it a try and run a few tests till it fits.

It's like they say: "All you need is good men". And good men this community has!

First of all H.sie, great work on the hardcode fixes. Question, i have FM interior v1.0 and St.naz,wilhemhaven, etc v6 working together after your patch and it will load all the way to the end and then ctd.When i run them seperate, no problems.I see no conflict between the two files, except sound, but i think maybe the hardcode fix won't allow the two to work together. What do you think?

@SquareSteelBar and Vince82

Now I've got a question on my own about V16. I'm planning to use the stock renown reward for reaching and patrolling the assigned grid. Now when you use the request new grid option in the patch... Will you get the renown reward twice?

Does this mean GWX integrated orders is not compatible with h.sie's V16B1 patch?

[Olamagato]

GWX integrated orders is not compatible with any GUI mod (menu_1024_768.ini) and FM Interior (commands_xx.cfg).

[h.sie]

you can make it compatible by following the instructions in the manual

H.Sie I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I was wondering if in the future it was possible to make the AI "sneakier" through use of this patch. Make it do things like sit on the surface with their engines off waiting for you to come back up without taking a look around with your scope first and ambush you. Or you could have them go away for a little while making you think the escorts have left and have them suddenly return to the area to see if you got comfortable while they were away, and catch you on the surface or making a lot of noise reloading torps or making repairs. I haven't played for awhile but as usual your patch keeps bringing me back. It keeps getting better. Thank you and everyone involved for your work.

@Stoli: Good point, but unfortunately, I was (so far) not able to directly manipulate AI behavior (except for some dirty tricks that indirecly change the AI, but with very restricted effect).
