Does anyone know of planned vessels added to the mod? I saw on their website something about the Papa class operating depth for the planned version 1.39 patch or that just for the NPC version? Also is there anyone I can talk to regarding the selecting of the Rubis, Suffern, or Amethyste out on a quick mission and that selecting their load out crashes the game and they are completely unplayable currently.

INSTALL ISSUE
I just bought DW a couple days ago on Steam. Played it for awhile to get a feel for it, but today decided to jump into RA/DWX. I had installed a couple of small mods already; sound alterations, the helo dipping fix (OH! speaking of that one, is that incorporated into DWX already or do I need to install that?), and the MH-60 channels fix (which I see is incorporated into DWX)
So, I completely removed the game from my system and re-downloaded/installed it.
I followed the install instructions EXACTLY. The install went almost without a hitch. The one thing I noticed as text was flying by was an "error: file not found" .... Upon starting the game up, everything seemed fine. All the units were in there, etc etc. ... HOWEVER!! The intro movie had no sound, and I had no sound in 3D view either.

Now, here's the thing. I did a LOT of reading before installing, and also looked at the file structure of both DWX and LWAMI, and compared it to my Steam install file structure (incidentally, my game is installed at F:\SteamLibrary3\SteamApps\common\Dangerous Waters )
I noticed one odd thing, particularly when I was installing sound mods: I do not have a ..\Dangerous Waters\Audio\sfx folder. Instead, I have ..\Dangerous Waters\Audio\aggie
Weird, right?
So I tried simply putting the sfx.agg from the ..\Audio\sfx folder that DWX created into the ..\aggie folder ....... however, that did not work. So I figured THAT probably had something to do with the "file not found" error and decided to completely un-/re-install the game again.

THIS TIME, after I ran the game to set basic option (resolution, turn off cheats, etc) I changed the name of ..\Audio\aggie to ..\sfx and went ahead with the DWX installation again. After install, I changed the ..\sfx folder back to ..\aggie (I get missing sounds if I leave it as ..\sfx) ... OH! I also installed the DWX 138_Fix_01 ..
I saw no errors pop up this time. AND, upon going into the game, I now had sound in the 3D view. All good.
However, there is still no audio in the intro movie. I assume that audio is supposed to be there. .. Clearly, this is a very minor issue; but I thought I should report it.

One final question, regarding sound mods. I downloaded the DWCombinedSoundpackv1 from SubGuru's website. Are the changes made with this mod incorporated (or otherwise dealt with) in DWX? Reading thru the readme, I saw nothing about changes to sounds, so I'm assuming not. However, i'll wait on installing that until after I hear back here.

Anyhow, so far so good guys!! I just KNOW I'm gonna love this mod. Read thru the weapons manual and boy! there's some cool changes in there. That'll take some getting used to, but the increased play depth will, I'm sure, be worth it.
On top of that, I now have the USS Parche, SSN-683 available, for a certain mission that I've begun work on
Thanks so much for all your work

EDIT: OH!! One other question. .... Does DWX include the fix for the Straight of Malacca mission, or do I need to install that as well?

G'day guys,

Sorry for the dumb question - is it easy/possible to change the Playable Collins SSK Helm Station from the Russian helm station to the Seawolf Helm?

I suppose the reasoning is so that the Collins uses metric depth measurements - but it seems a bit out of place for my 2c. I'd be happy to use imperial measurements if it was possible.

Thanks guys - it would make a 99% perfect mod to a 100% mod for me!

Stew

EDIT: This would be great for the other modern "metric" Western subs too (Italian 212, Japan, France, etc.)

[Red_88]

AFAIK At the moment this is not possible. you cannot simply exchange the helm station file. It will cause gamecrash, because of hardcoded issues.
maybe in the future it will be possible, but there is little hope.

[Stewy1]

Thanks Red for the reply. Oh well, that's the way it goes...

Cheers,
Stew

[nesop276]

Could anyone pass on to Crazy Ivan,
The J3d model in RA 1.4 for the Halifax (Canada FFH330) is not the Patrol Frigate. I found the error when creating a scenario with an Iroquois and Halifax.
Thanks. Good mod though, nice to have other platforms to control.
Cheers

Are SLBM's supposed to be working ?

When I launch them, they just circle around endlessly (yes I did designate a land target

[ikalugin]

I think there is a whole section where you tweak the weapon's settings and such in some magic way before you could fire it properly. Though I already wish for the sonalysts to make Dangerous Waters-2, in which I could drive my 06704 or 08850.

"Section" where ?

In the game ?

Or using DWEDIT ?

I read somewhere that they could be fired from a particular scenario ?

[frambueso]

Good day. I hope that we will be able to download a mod?

[Aktungbby]

frambueso! after a long silent run!
