[REL] SH 5 Longer Repair Times

Rongel · 08-20-12, 12:53 PM

SH 5 Longer Repairs v.1.01

Like the title says, this mod makes the repair times longer. In stock version repair times are really short, so broken equipment isn't a big concern. As far as I know, this issue hasn't been addressed before this. Purpose of this mod is again to make the game more challenging, realistic and exciting!

Repair times are dynamic in Silent Hunter games, so light damage gets fixed pretty fast: with this mod it takes aprox. 1 hour to fix damages from 90% to 100% (in stock game this takes about 10 min!). Repair times get radically longer as the damage increases, heavy damage will take several days to fix.

There are two different versions available, one compatable with Equipment Upgrades Fix v1.4 byTheBeast, and one for stock version. This mod changes just one file: "equipment.upc".

Unfortunately it seems that the changes come in action only when starting a new campaign! It is possible that it starts to work also when you have been given a new submarine, or you advance to next campaign. Haven't yet tested this. Mod kicks in instantly on Historical Missions.

Change log:

v.1.01

-added compatability to Equipment Upgrades Fix v1.4 byTheBeast PATCH 1 version. So now you need to have EUF 1.4 and the patch 1! (EUF's hotfix and Longer Repairs are compatible.).

BUT:

The file you are looking for seems to be unavailable at the moment. Please come back later.

How long would it take to GameFront fixing the download, with this mod enabled?

Yes, it really seems that the Gamefront system has slowed down also, with this mod it's propably 5-10 times longer wait than normally before it's available... Patience!

Very needed mod, thank you Rongel!

Is this exactly so?

Yes, I'm afraid that the mod kicks in after campaign restart.

Because the repair times seem to change everytime somewhat, it's not so simple to test it. I have my own campaign going, and the mod didn't seem to affect it (tested results in harbour ramming docked ships at full speed

). Then I started a new campaign, did some test, and the repair times were now like they should be, it took several hours or even days to fix damages. Results were the same that I got from single mission tests.

I'm hoping that when you are given a new u-boat, the game loads the new repair times, but not sure about this. Have to play the campaign further. Maybe some wiser SH 5 modder can shed some light on this matter, when the equipment.upc is loaded into the game, and is there a way to inject it in the middle of the campaign?

I am sure the game works the values out in a complicated way . I notice that a small malfulction has the same chance as a broken axel etc .

Maybe Subsim Downloads?

Oh, and the MediaFire links work fine, just in case you get no other feedback on that.
