Realism- and gameplay-related hardcode fixes for SH3.EXE - Page 219

Jonny · 03-26-12, 08:40 PM

Ok got a issue! I dont no if its me or something im doing wrong! I am on 94% realism and have my weapon officer identify and get my solution! i no more torpedos are on target as i watch them on my TDC. I am not sure if its becuase the sea is a little stormy and i got a lot of waves or what?

So heres my issue, i have tested this a few times, i shot two fish at a large merchant they went underneath him and i couldnt be bothered to continue the attack so broke contact. Ran into a second large merchant and the same happened two fish underneath and out the other side!

So i gave it a test! i set all 4 tubes to 1M and on magnetic and Fast speed! 600M submerged shot, easy right. well as i saw them all line up perfectly for the engine rooms with only 100 or so meters left i thought i got him! but no the first 3 go under and the 4th explodes premature! is there something im doing wrong i mean the fish are set a 1M and shot off with about a second puase inbetween each shot to make sure i hit the ship no matter how much it is bobbing!

Anyhelp thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. No time at all ATM. There have been some mod requests in the past. Some of them found their way into my todo-list for the (uncertain) future.

@sharkbit: I think 10 hours of gametime are not unrealistic for a wolfpack to assemble. Try the "Wolfpk less contact report" Option if you prefer not to wait such a long time.

@Luno: Did you change the hsie.ini? Please find out whether the patched CameraBehavior.act found its way into your SH3 installation. In principle it's compatible to SH3-Cmdr with malfunctions, provided your RandomizedEvents.cfg is okay.

@Wolfstriked: Still problems with your install?

@Jonny: Please read the manual about the Torpedo Failure Fix.

@Victor_Schutze: Cite: "Aaaahhhh the joys of modding... appending... modifying... altering... a true dream come true...".......I admit that the installation process is not easy. But you can optimise it. Feel free to program a little tool that automates the install. Are you interested?

Hsie,did you mean to change _Append_to_de_menu.txt to just de_menu.txt.The mod is working but the messages seem missing.

From memory you need to add the entries in Append_to_de_menu.txt to de_menu.txt

h.sie · 03-27-12, 03:37 PM

@Wolfstriked: BBW is right. If you play in english, you need to place all messages contained in _Append_to_en_menu.txt after the last line of en_menu.txt.

If you play in german language, use _Append_to_de_menu.txt resp. de_menu.txt instead.

If you do that work described above in the Supplement-Mod instead of your Sh3-Installation, you don't risk to corrupt your installation, because you can easily disable the Supplement-Mod if something went wrong.

Good luck.

If you don't get it to run until weekend, I could help you.

Wolfstriked · 03-27-12, 04:30 PM

It worked thanks guys.I think better instructions would read...

put the _Append_to_en_menu.txt into the empty DATA/MENU/folder of the mod.

Then copy the original en_menu.txt contents into the _Append_to_en_menu.txt.

When thats doneyou now must change the mods _Append_to_en_menu.txt to en_menu.txt

Should we change the MaxStrings=5000 to higher number?

Or just use NYGM mod as I will most likely do soon.

I love the torpedo failure mode.

After some testing, I finally started a new career out of St Nazaire in 9/40 with the patch enabled. Set up a perfect shot north of Scotland using impact pistols on a medium freighter. Weather was stormy with 13 m/s winds. Sure enough, both eels go under the target(I use external camera for eye candy purposes).

I love the fact that there is no more mindless setting of the torpedo depth. Now there are other factors to consider in making a torpedo attack.

Later I ran across a coastal tanker. Once I id'd the target, I decided to pass on the shot due to the high seas. It was not worth a eel and I couldn't gun it under due to the high seas.

Any mod that makes you think and act like a real submarine commander is a huge plus.

Keep up the good work h.sie. I'm looking forward to experiencing other aspects of your patch.

It has always seemed unrealistic to me for ships to perform the hard helm overs that they do when attacked-the constant zig-zagging. The ships just seem a tad too maneuverable.

Is that a hard code thing and if so, is it possible to make ships evade a little less drastically?

I'm probably just a grumpy old Kaleun whining

, but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

Any thoughts on this h.sie?

Jonny · 03-27-12, 08:25 PM

I must admit i was wrong! the torpedo failure mod was causing my problem. Now i dont attack in stormy sees and i just did partrol 2 and came back with 28000 T so im well happy! great mod realism is arwsome, playing 100% realism and its so rewarding!

Don't want to speak for h.sie, but I think he said that with toungue in cheek......

I think he wants you to do the programming.

Wolfstriked · 03-28-12, 02:24 PM

Most people use GWX/NGYM or stock.Very easy to "append"

those three and just enable the folder.
