[emtmedic005]

Im not 100% certain it will be but I think so we will have to send you
a copy of next version beta and see.

MM

Beg pardon I thought you played TGW1.1a. so as to be distinguished.

[Mush Martin]

I wanted to get a picture of the very latest model of River Class Frigate
into the thread so I could show it off. To facilitate that I had to give it
the legitimacy of being part of an Uberboot test. For those of you already
familiar with the River Class Beta you will see the frigate has been
significantly altered for the uberboot test however it looks great.

[Madox58]

nice work all :yep:
im sure you were a helpfull pest :smug:

[Mush Martin]

Ohhh, so you use an OLDER version!!!

Im sorry I didnt want to give away the big surprise at the end
without you actually saying it was ok first.:hmm:

[Madox58]

Ya, he's a pest alright!
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
I could of had this done a couple days ago!!
:rotfl: :rotfl:
Got a few more tweaks to finish up
and I believe it will be good to go!!

That last pic is actually NOT what it looks like now!
There were several things fixed since that version.

[thefretmaster]

cool im looking forward to it!
is it mainly model changes or have you changed the weapons and things?

[Mush Martin]

cool im looking forward to it!

Its more weapons than modelling change all though we are talking
over a few potential new directions we arent commited yet to those.

Uber is about player experience as opposed to historical meticulousness.
and on that count it scores high even in its current configuration.

[thefretmaster]

aah ok, keep us posted!

The Fraulein Kaleun Puts Uberboat To the Test

So very rarely do you get a U-boat that just seems to hit the spot on the average bloodthirsty tonnager gaming girl like me. But today really showed me that you can put your faith in some MODS, to really really satisfy. Silent Hunter 3 is a masterpiece of nautical WW2 simulating proportions. Ever since I became hooked on this game thanks to the recommendations of my older brother I saw it as something that I could have fun in, but not the kind of fun you expect to have. Fun can be characterised on so many different levels, there is the fun of stalking, carefully approaching your target to strike which is typically what SH3 is all about. Then there is the kind of fun where you are the Incredible Hulk wrecking the place throwing caution to the wind and bringing all your enemies to book in suitably crushing fashion. Using your limitless strength at will without so much as a second thought. Can you find both those kinds of fun in Silent Hunter 3? The answer is no.

Then... Mush Martin comes along......

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/Spider-Hulk/SH3/Uberboot2.jpg

You will see there, a rather unique bit of kit. "It looks like a Type IX with a VIIC/4 conning tower" I hear you say. Well, it is. But, this mod is so cool its the way of bringing the afore mentioned Incredible Hulk into a strategy game.

I decided to boot up the uberboot and test him on the Happy Times mission, which happens to be my favourite mission of them all. After picking off the cruiser and the one destroyer, it was time to surface and see what uberboots guns were capable of. If ever there was a case for comparing anything that floats in SH3 to the Hulk this is that one thing. Its fast like that Hulk, its got a hide of armour like the Hulk. Its got the firepower of the Hulk, the only thing it doesn't do is roar angrily and say "Hulk Smash"

Why compare uberboot to the Hulk? Because its the only comparison I can think of! I think the Hulk-Boat would be a better name for this, but there could be copyright or somfin like that. Can I just say I sank the entire convoy before the escorts arrived?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/Spider-Hulk/SH3/uberboot1.jpg

There is the proof. After all, what good would my comments on this mod be without proof right? I was so preoccupied with the boat and what it can do, I didn't get any pictures of the actual sinkings. It was so fast paced, so intense (a different kind of intense to SH3), so brutal that it took all my skills to keep pace. Boy was it fun!

After eliminating the entire convoy, I then exited the mission.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/Spider-Hulk/SH3/uberboot3.jpg

In my own little way, I am now a sort of honourary member of the 100k club. If anybody wishes to argue that fact, I must warn you, my mind is made up that means no changing it! :lol:

This little mod is fantastic, and the best part of it is, those of us like me can really appreciate the wanton destruction the uberboot is capable of causing. Silent Hunter 3 is great, and GWX makes it greater still. But... that is the immersive realistic actual way it was done style of gameplay which is fun. But today for me was great to simply cut loose and cause no end of destruction. I totally recommend uberboot. Nothing helps you unwind after a serious stressful patrol quite like this. I decided to bring my 'celebration' banner out of retirement, in honour of uberboot! Even though I won't be "celebrating" till saturday. Uberboot is well cool MM!

[emtmedic005]

any news about the Uberboat?

Uhm well Uberboot isnt in general release yet have a quick read through
the thread see the pix and watch the video it will fill in most of the blanks
for you and if you still have questions then of course ask them.

[Mush Martin]

Dont provoke me I know how to make your ladies uber light typeVIIC41 running dog with fleas boat a Royal Navy sub for M/P testing.

[Penelope_Grey]

An uberboat a day keeps the gloom away that is for sure! :up::up:

[Mush Martin]

You really should try the included mission it is intense.
MM

[ReallyDedPoet]

With 1.2? 1.3 is still in the works right.

[Mush Martin]

You should have 1.3 now yourself rdp last mission was corrected for
unit density and universal compatability.


I am fairly sure your on the same page as all others but this is you
were talking about.

Im gone to work bye all.

MM

[Penelope_Grey]

Will have a go at the surface mission later now I have warmed up.

Ok well ive been playing with the uber boat all day and having a good ole bit of fun but i noticed this little gfx prob the radar seems to be ghosting thru the fron part of the conning tower see image:up: oh and partially thru the uzo if i can i'll doa fraps video to show you doing it:yep:

Oh and on eother thing my radio guy sounds like he is snorting helium sounds funny as hell:rotfl:

[ReallyDedPoet]

I think Mush and the crew are working on the radar thing.

[leeclose]

Cool all i need now is for my crew to stop sounding like theve been at the hellium:rotfl:

I've never had the helium crew thing:o, have to give it a rip a little later to check it out.

[Penelope_Grey]

Its either Hulk type crewmen, or squeeky puberty helium crewmen.

[ReallyDedPoet]

Its either Hulk type crewmen, or squeeky puberty helium crewmen.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[leeclose]

The later Penolpe and every time they speak i nearly wet myself laughing:up:

[Mush Martin]

Change the crewmen at your stations in F7 the voices will
change with the rotation.

in uberboot mod. crew management is eliminated and your crew
will be able to man the stations constantly and consistently
for the duration of mission or voyage.

so what guy you put in what position can be your permanent voice
for the duration too.

I did the rotation thing to get all the guys on my watch crew with barracks
caps.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e368/MartinPicfix/SH3Img5-3-2007_1.jpg

My Crew Looks Good dont they?
thanks Venatore

[Mush Martin]

and yes Radar issue is a known issue

I was faced with the choice for 1.3 to have
a rotating radar intruding on the front of the
bridge or a mattress radar levitating in mid
air about a yard and a half off the starboard
side of the conn.

went with the rotating type till I can fix the
mattress set.

MM

[Mush Martin]

uber alert uber alert uber alert

Every body who has a copy of uber I believe I forgot to mention
that your crash depth is likely set to fifty metres as I had
been working up the mission on the grandbanks and didnt
want anyone to take bottoming damage.

Sorry all.

oh an uber VIIC/41 sounds well cool.

[ReallyDedPoet]

VIIC is my boat of choice, be neat to have it as an Uber:up:

[leeclose]

Me is Taking screeny Mush and note home yet then i'll post a after action and and thanks for looking at the radar Privateer its a tad annoying.:up:

[Penelope_Grey]

I am more of a IX. But am fast coming to appreciate the VII's me and U-101 have been through a lot together!

[ReallyDedPoet]

I have used the IX on a few patrols, maybe its because of my impatience that I use the VIIC, have not been on to many extended patrols, but need to try this more.

Looking forward to SH4, but there is still alot of game left in SH3:yep:

Patience your time will come sharkbait
but first test of the babybuggymod got ctd.

this is going to take some doing

i may have to change over to VIIB

[Mush Martin]

Suppose for a moment I get type VII(?) working.

what about Uberizing the AI subs.
hmm Im not sure.:hmm:

that would pretty much be it for england the war will be
over by christmas 1940

[ReallyDedPoet]

I may have to change over to VIIB

No problem, whatever is workable :up:

[leeclose]

Ok Mush me ole mate one after action report with screenies from my first IXB uber boat patrol and before i go any further wow any way's here we go.

I started of from Kiel on Sept the 2nd 1939 and headed for the Kanal(yes i am insane an d have a note to say so) and with in being there ten mins later here we go. so basically other than the wee radar thingy ship handled like a dream i took out 28 ships ranging from 600 tons to 8500 tons and 7 aircraft. Patrol total tannage was 68,386 tons 80% of which done with the guns the rest with eels due to bad weather and the eels handled very well(thank gods for read me's).

Any way the U-122 mission area was BF67 and i was all round the isles, loch ewe was a bum rush was mostly Neutrals most i took out was 2 armed trawellers(buckets) and 1 V&W class 2 hurri's and 1 anson and then went on a round scotland trip mostly running into small stuff no convoys as yet as its so early in the war. Ok onto the screenis now enjoy.

Uh-Oh where's the stop button again bernard are you sure you aimed the dang Torp right:damn:

[Mush Martin]

Upto now I had always assumed that all type IX's use the same
Hull in Sh3 apparently I have been mistaken about that. this
is a pic from ducimus top is a VII middle is a IXD2 and bottom a IXB or C
now I have to redo it all over again. oh well ill just make a small a medium
and a large. Large for men med for ladies and typeIIa armed with only
starshells and a searchlight that wont turn off for Sharkbait.



http://www.ducimus.net/sh3/ixd_size_01.jpg

[Mush Martin]

Maybe I will just do the IXD2Uber as my own Pimped Ride and keep it
for myself.

[USS Sea Tiger]

I have been reading,, and seeing posts on this secret stealh boat of the Kriegsmarine,
Would love to duke it out with a DD and have a 1/10 of a chance to win!

Is it available somehwere yet as a beta?

If not,, WOW I look forward to this shark!

[Mush Martin]

soon sea tiger but delays again

first no not yet for general dl

Regarding Uber as we all know it still work to be done to make
it releaseable

after commiting the other day to work up a type VII mini uber
I discovered that I have been using the wrong hull for main
uber since beginning. this means a rework for main uber.

this will cause some delays.

VII and IXD2 Uber will likely take a little longer as IXB uber is built
and Just needs engineering touchups to finish.whereas the other
two arent built yet. the other two will have the same inherent problems
as IXB uber but by then hopefully IXB will have prototyped the solutions.

MM

[Mush Martin]

Originally I had planned VII as a seperate mod..
now my plan is to include three ubers in a single mod.

small medium and large.

I think I will name them

typeVIIB Uber Valkyrie
typeIXB Uber Thor
typeIXD2 Uber Odin

Or should I name them after cats.

Lion tiger and leopard or birds Falcon Eagle and Hawk

or Wizard Warlock and and and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, suggestions anyone.

MM

[ReallyDedPoet]

Originally I had planned VII as a seperate mod..

typeVIIB Uber Valkyrie



Just this by itself:yep:

[Mush Martin]

for reasons I will disclose in a pm that is really really ded funny.

Progress report.

IXB Uber as per normal.

VIIC41 (1942)Uber cancelled
VIIC (1940) Ubertesting unsuccesfully


IXD2 (1942) Succesful first test. (manifestation)
( Odin looks very impressive but has unique fwd gunmount problem)

odd but it is harder for some reason to get typeVIIC/4 conning
to appear and work on a typeVII than it is a type IX

[emtmedic005]

I want one of the IXD2 Uber Boats, that would be awesome. So when is the mod expected to be out.

[USS Sea Tiger]

rather than as usual, a deck gun to assist if the torps fail ,, how about this

a type IIa, stock everything but
with the fighting top of a flak trap but all are the big guns off a type IX,

A Mini Surcoff of sorts,,

leave everything as per game though, IS that even possible though??


Get in the convoy, battle surface, and gun em up!!, :p :p

and with her fast dive time,, gone before that tin can will get you.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Seriously,, I for sure will be interested to see what comes of this project,, It will for sure add a new levl of fun to the game!!.

[leeclose]

Hmm maybe a small problem with the Fish mush i was in dunkirk causing my usual mayhem:up: when i realised my poor we boat was taking a pounding from 5 armed tug boats there a pain in the arse.
So i went to PD to take em out first 3 went down with one fish each no problem got the next 2 lined up at roughly 2500 fired on the first one hit stop engines and the first fish went scooting of to its assigned target.
No problem then it decided to go for a wee wander it spent about 90 seconds going round it and under it and along side it then buggered off at a 90 degree angle to it to god knows where not hitting it the other Armed tug boat was a goog 2000 mtrs away from it so i locked/loaded and fired again and the next fish did the same again.
So at this point i was swearing quit loudly so of goes fish number 3 to do the same thing again but it finally hit anout 10 seconds from its end of run. So Tug boat number 5 i got lined up etc etc fired and well surprise it did the same thing as the other fish fired another 2 and they did they same again and theese little boats were making lots of noise and riping along at 12 ish knots.
I ended up surfacing and shredding it with my guns and at this point i'm down to 7% hull oh goody and i still have to get to my assigned patrol area and back home so 5 outa 6 fish preffered not to hit the target.
Oh and a few mins prior to this i had saved my game so i reloaded to see if it was just a dumb ass quirck and it did the same thing again so any ideas?:damn:

[Mush Martin]

Hypothesis :

torp setting below keel depth tugs are short length and
tracking with 135 degree turn rate wouldnt let it get under


advise set depth 2 advise use impact setting

if possible advise shoot inside of 1000m straight run for torps.
(i think thats what you have I suppose I should check)

torp feedback is good

as pariahs we can do what we like but its about feel and functionality.

would a longer straight run be a better idea? I dont know but
shorter ones have there own difficulty.

I had considered a 1500 Metre straightrun as this seems to correspond
with an acoustical detectability range of sorts. also matches map screen
when your tracking torp progress.

I would think 1500 would be ok but there homing Torps they should do the work them selfs they just acted real weird and when i got up against shallow draft ships i always set my torps accordingly i wish i had fraps running then i could have videod it damm i always have theese clever ideas after the event:yep:

Deactivate mod go to
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg

in your regular game
make a copy of that one and replace the one in the mod with it.

be advised that you will lose the elite officers of Ubercrew
back up the one in the mod someplace first.

activate mod again when done you have an ordinary IX crew beginning.

Thanks mush will do and does the new boat comewith a coffee machine if not i want one please:up:

[Mush Martin]

Actually at the moment I have privateer working on turning
RDP's type VII into a coffeemaker for the Control room in
Uber Odin. we just didnt want the good machinery to
go to waste.

[Mush Martin]

In Retrospect this all actually works out right.

all beta's have been IXB based.

So what I think Ill do is just Hold IXD2
for Uber Releaseable (final or final beta)

making the b in IXB for beta.

I would like to ignore for now the type VII attempt
until after I get IXD2 up and tested etc.
(Sorry RDP & PG)

but a little focus on one at a time will help me if
no one else. I am attempting to try and clean
up my projects that are underway so I can
spend a little time learning new techniques.

Ah Youve gotta love an engineering challenge she handles like a slug.
Still UberOdin sure is handsome.

MM

[Mush Martin]

Whats Different about UberOdin (IXD2) over UberThor (IXB) is that
it is such a large boat that You lose bridge details when you
shoot a screenie of the whole boat as you have to be so far away
to get it all in the picture.

Nice.

Hi MM,
Will you be adding the shark's teeth skin onto all Uber's? You know, that USS Redfin or P-40 Flying Tigers look.

:up:
Skinning isnt among my skills. Id like too but ill be gratefull
for any skin for that comes with a custom tower paint
for VIIC/4 conn to match the type IX Hull paint.
Id love sharks teeth for all ubers.

and Lightening for Uberodin, thors hammer for Uberthor
and Wings for UberValkyrie respectively on the conning
towers. along with simulated ships score flags painted
underneath.

Sadly no Skinner has taken a real interest in Uberboot.
MM

[Mush Martin]

here is a shot of Just the bow to the aft gun platform the bridge crew
details are much diminished I didnt realize how much of a difference
there would be between the two boats.
2nd pic shows improved handling after engine uprating.
(still cant get around to ram before gun crew has finished them though)

I ain't no skinner either but i could make those lightning, hammer and wings c/tower emblems for you. Although simulating score flags is a problem, it's similar to the tonnage-score pennants or flags issue raised some time ago.

Yeah I understand the issues so i had been thinking a line or two
of minor colored flag shapes underneath the sub emblem (minorly enlarged)
running along the bottom,
thats what I meant by simulated score flags.
no effort to paint em on the emblem itself.

[edit] I am aware of the Low resolution issues.

I have been reading,, and seeing posts on this secret stealh boat of the Kriegsmarine,
Would love to duke it out with a DD and have a 1/10 of a chance to win!

Is it available somehwere yet as a beta?

If not,, WOW I look forward to this shark!
Stealth? Uber is as subtle as a pile driver
and no but hopefully soon.

What is German naming convention for ships Male or Female?
is a ship a he or a she?

[PhantomLord]

If you talk about ships in general it´s neutral "DAS Schiff / U-Boot"

But usually ships are female. "DIE Bismarck / Hood / ..."

That is a thank god for the readmes moment right there
Thanks for the account you nearby on the windless side.

No a nine for sure that ones close .

I have manipulated torpedo courses after launch many times now and am more relaxed about
a homer tracking on me now, no problem to bring em about with that technique described in
readme. but I still cringe on the close passes.

[Mush Martin]

OK a quick and very pointform recap of the general situation.

Uber originally made at home for use on my game
was asked when id turn it into a mod
started with beta1.1 with bad aft platform
platform fix moved to 1.2
otherwise just a general test distribution
with rebuilt mission and corrected platform
with minor tweaks became 1.3

all above uber versions are based on Type IXB

RDP and slightly PG inspire me to commit to the
idea of mini uber (harbour raider) so I start
to frame it up.

simultaneously discover that not all type IX hulls
are the same thanks to Ducimus.

so now I have a prototyped B
an unframed and struggling VII B or C
and a quickly framed and succesfully manifested IXD2

I decided to give them all names from norse mythos
as previously posted they would respectivly become
Type VIIB = Uber Valkryie
Type IXB = Uber Thor
Type IXD2 = Uber Odin
I like the names and they are harder to mix up in a running post.

now what to do with it.

choices keep distribution as is and build all three for release together
or
release Type IX-XIBeta1.3 as Uberthor1.4 now.
or
whether or not thats decided
do all three in a single mod
or a seperate mod.

MM

[leeclose]

Yup i am real glad i read the read me twice and it was more like a 9.4 mate on the up side it went whizzing past me went right over my aft then clobbered the V&W that was being a pain in the arse was funny as hell was like watching a etch a sketch on the screen:rotfl:

If it doesnt look like that something has affected it deactivate and reactivate

you said you arent using commander or integrated orders is that right?

[down and out]

? All homing torps in 39

Only 4 years too early :nope:

[leeclose]

Yup what i am now doing is uninstalling everything related to SH3 and doing a fresh install with just the following:
SH3
patchs 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3 / 1.4b
GWX
GWX patch 1.02
GWX skins packs
Uber boat
and JSGme and not installing SH3 commander at this time and will see what happens lemme do the first patrol to see if i get anything squirelly but will know by patrol 3/4 so Run downs and Screenies to follow:up:

Oh and down and out read the thread from start to end and you might understand what were doing before you start condeming what you dont know about

Read the Thread Prior to posting.

In the opening posts it says
Uberboot isnt historically accurate so of course your
expectation that it will be is quite mislead and obviosly
a little underread.

also in the opening posts on page one it states
that we as pariahs are aware of these innaccurasies
and that we do not need to be corrected on it.
and so if a purist please dont post unecessary
beratements for something we already are aware
of.

the torpedos didnt come that way we changed
them and as such, are aware of that much.
although you do seem to overstate the obvious
you seem blissfully unaware of most of it.

you also seem to have avoided the necessary
it is polite to read a thread on the forums
prior to posting on it,

many of us here are purists
and historians and we do not disrespect the puritan
lobby or go running overthere telling them that they
should cheat. Quite the contrary as a matter of
fact I myself and many here encourage and support
puritan work and do puritan work of our own.
this is also alluded to for myself on page one where
it clearly differentiates between the wildness of
uber and the historical purity of River Class Frigate.
in order to be more historically accurate I am putting
136 missing Frigates back into SH3 that as the
second most common commonwealth combatant
should have been included in the first place.
I dont see any posts on the river thread from
you giving me kudos.?
the third relevant thing you missed on page 1
and the thing that cinches you missing the
obvious is that if you dont like the mod
dont download it.

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t128/leeclose/SH3Img16-3-2007_0-1.jpg

Sorry for being so picky but you know me mush and no doubt i will find something else so stand by your bed:up:

[Mush Martin]

Well Ill look at it on IXD2 but I doubt there will be much more that I can
do than say

Umm Schnorkels are for use underwater so it is assumed for purposes of
the UberbootMod that all schnorkel tower cominations are indeed perfect
as there will be no one outside to see them unless it gets damaged and
then of course the crewmen that go out on deck can move them if they
please during the repair as they will have it apart any way.

MM

[leeclose]

Ok doke i can live with that plus i can always leave bernard tied to the conning tower when submerged and ask him later:yep:

[Mush Martin]

Uberboot final may well be armed with UberCrew Full mod
I am afraid we are going to eliminate bernard at headuarters.

[Mush Martin]

Id like to point out that while these are good pic's observe if you will the
wakes that show we were maneuvering and not setpiece.
and how early the speed over course call was made on the sub
making the final turn for ram. this was a really supreme moment and
im proud of the seamanship part as much as the modding part.

I had to start at the beginning of learning by
not knowing how. River was created and left to

of needing help learning how with no experience.

If you look under roster and put it into a mission you
can enter uber as an RN unit its already in your
copy of the mod you just need to build a mission.

[Mush Martin]

I had originaly done that because I wanted to do an included mission
out of the subpens where by an allied commando team stole uberboot

it was supposed to dovetail with a game of the middle boards of MOH
where you board the sub.

then switch over to silent hunter three as a british crew escaping the
subpens in Kiel and fighting your way to the north sea

Nice concept.

[leeclose]

Could be intresting remmber a lot of the orginal British Commandoes in WW2 were scottish hmmm now you got me thinking:yep:

[bigboywooly]

Ahhhh now I have to reply :damn:

Yes MM did ask if it was possible to make the River Frigate

With that in mind I cloned the ship and did the basic hexediting along with a few file changes
With a little help from Ref :up:
The damage model was done by Von to GWX standards :up:

All for the good of the community

Since then Privateer has done further remoddeling of the ship
Something I couldnt have done so kudos to you for that Privateer :rock:

I have no doubt the River will find its way into a GWX ship update in the not so distant future

As to ownership of the model well I would give that to Privateer as the lions share of the harder work has been his

Lots of ideas get thrown around for ship models - some get built some not
The last idea given to me was from Wulfmann
A ship I have since done ( with a little more help from Privateer :oops: )

[Mush Martin]

I Give you Credit for Created by BBW
and am still truly grateful to you for
getting it off the ways as such.

I"m not worried who claims the RiverClass.
I know what I did and thats good enuff for me.

As to helping you BBW, you and I both know it was
probably fine before I checked it.:up:

[Mush Martin]

Thank You BBW and Privateer for all help and advice given freely, and for the creation and perfection of
River Class Frigate Mod.

MM

and to D&O for being so helpful too.
as you have no mods and no advice and
as a checkof your posts doesnt show a great
degree of help for noobs then maybe you
misunderstand this is the modders

I believe you may be looking for

Ive Been revisiting this idea since we discussed it earlier

the mission archecture is straightforward enough.

maybe we should make it. and base a story on the
mission then.

if we did make it then a change to scott sound bites would really
add to it and if it is to dovetail with Medal of Honor middle boards
then we should change Kaleun to Powell.

your thoughts?

[Mush Martin]

Impishly I have decided to put Uber1.3 into general release.
I have announced it on SHIII Forum

It is my intention now from here to treat IXB as Prototype

and Make Uber final a single sub release based on
Type IXD2

Sorry RDP I tried to consider your boat as a contender but
Just not enough bows on her to get over the top of a tribal
class if I ever run out of ammo before I run out of aggression.

I may do a mini type VII uber after the fact but for now
am going to reduce number of projects and focus more.

Hi Mush encountered a small prob with the Uber boat tonight/morning i got jumped by 2 mk 2 hurris so i hit man the deck and flak guns so my crew jumped to there stations so i sat back to watch the falling burny things and laugh.

well as my 2 screenies will show my forward Deck cannon engaged my aft deck cannon engaged bu my two upper AA guns did bugger all the crew sat in them and never fired a single shot i manned and unmanned the stations 3 times to check and nada was very weird. screenies below

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t128/leeclose/SH3Img17-3-2007_1-1.jpg

My Aft upper gun crew doing nothing. while being shot up by Hurri's

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t128/leeclose/SH3Img17-3-2007_1-2.jpg

And the external shot showing extreme Bow and Aft guns firing away but upper midships AA doing nada:damn:

[Mush Martin]

The AA guns wont egage surface targets automatically and the surface
guns wont engage aircraft automatically. the thing you did jumping onto
the station is the correct IA for this symptom however I am confused

you were jumped by aircraft?

and your main surface armament engaged the aircraft?????????????

MM

[leeclose]

Yup From f4 i yelled man the deck and flak guns then i hit engage at will for both AA and Deck gun. Then my aft AA engaged the Hurris as did my deck gu yea the one u blow ships up mean while my 2 upper AA guns sat doing nopthing the bottom screeny shows that so was a very weird expierence i can tell ya:yep: Also i know you need to manually enage surface target with your AA guns any way you could slave em to do it auto tho?

[Mush Martin]

Not unless I can figure out what happened first to make it happen in the
first place

was that a sentence its late here too.

[leeclose]

its 3am here time for bed before i fall asleep and start drooling into my keyboard wll ido that most days any ways:rotfl:

[leeclose]

Well onto Patrol 2 and well some hurri's decided they want to tango heres the end result what i'm finding is the AA guns work really well at medium to long range plus its lots of fun to watch thru your binos. Also another wee tip for all you new uber boaters when you get jumped by Planes hit full steam ahead and start zig zagging and 99% of the time they wont hit you:

Hi MM,
Good job on the release. Brilliant.
Check your PM box.:up:

Maybe this bug is already known:

I can man the guns at wind speed 15 but not at 14 and 12?

[Mush Martin]

Maybe this bug is already known:

No thats not normal you should be fine all the way from
0 through 15 .

the only thing I can think of that might do it is Rainforce wich can
also cut the gun access off. I didnt catch this bit the first time.
but it leads me to think that some change in rain may have caused
it as I never changed the rain settings at the same time as I did the
windspeed. so they would still be set to the original low settings.

Ill have a closer look at it in a little while.
and thanks for posting it this is a previously unoticed
MM:up:

[edit] it has become apparent that there may be a problem with Uberboot career games reverting
to standard torpedo loadouts as the boat moves into the Game calander year 1940
i am looking at a solution.
MM

[PhantomLord]

Yeah i forgot to say....i was heavy rain this time.

2nd thing: after finishing a patrol in career mode the boat is overstaffed.
- I´ve too much crew for starting next patrol.
- Zaunkönig isn´t available no more.
- Ammo loads is back to normal (110 rounds for deck gun)
- maybe i´ve read over some earlier posts, solving these things....i´ll read again.

However...this boat kicks ass :up:

No I just found out that as you roll through the new year into
1940 it changes back to default gwx torp loadouts

My bad completely I missed it and it should have been
obvious but vast majority of testing is done in missions
and Uber isnt actually my campaign boat so I never
rolled it through years end or I would have fixed it
its pretty simple to correct.

sorry yet again

Started Carer 1939 out of Wilhelmhaven headed for patrol grid which takes me past Scapa Flow. Sailing at Deck Awash, shot down 15 aircraft and picked off a destroyer at 4300 meters, didn't even know what hit him:D Second destroyer by himself didn't spot me at night, decks awash until 3300 meters, too late for him, burned him, sank several merchants with D.G. and am now leaving Scapa Flow after sink'n some rather juicy targets. 78000 tons and I just barely started my patrol, the Uberboot is just way too much fun:yep: Early war sail'n Decks awash at night ,didn't zig zag once, shot down all aircraft without them putt'n so much as a dent in the hull.

Eat em n smile!:arrgh!:

Nice to see that when its working people are liking it.
Ill say this much I found more holes in it in the first
48hrs of release than I did in three or four weeks
of testing. inspite of some certain inconveniences
and im sure a few snickers, I think releasing the
beta1.3 has helped a lot as far as the project
itself goes.

Still its all about fun and I am glad people are liking it.
MM

[Gunner]

So far haven't really run into any probs Mush, Still try'n to get the feel of the boat, Leav'n Scapa Flow a J class DD came straight at me, it was the last thing he did, here is a pic of my Victory pass

Nice symmetry Glad your having fun also glad your dropping in for
feedback it helps.:up: and thanks for it.

I have a fix for Career issue ready and will put it out
tommorow once I have put it through a second test
round.

Screenies always welcome with uber boat also wait till ya get your first convoy battle and all you can see is red broken ships thats one screenie worth taking and keeping so you can say that was me that was wooohooooo:yep:

No problem here :D
I also like this baby with normal loadouts. Sunk over 100k in first patrol. Annihilated 2 small convoys in BF15, kicked 3 planes out of the sky...
Tonight i´ll try it in second patrol. Sadly i´ve to dismiss many good crewmen...

[Mush Martin]

Yeah Ive come to realize that as most kaleuns nurture there
crews Im probably going to drop those portions of uber that
deal with crew in the next version.
(well I might keep em better than any mission crew)
MM

Looking forward to it :)

Oh mush can have you fixed the problem with the uboat war badge thing for the next release?:up:

[Mush Martin]

that one I forgot about lee, ill have a look at it.:hmm:

[edit] but as stated in my previous post its my intention to probably remove all
parts of uber dealing with crew, if I do do that then this issue will be resolved
automatically as a consequence.

the question is should I or should I not include Uber crew into Uberboot
or as a seperate mod or not at all. after answering that if included
then its skullwork time on this problem.

thinking it through still commentary is welcome.

MM

[PhantomLord]

Ubercrew: No more fun if you attach medals and badges on your crew´s proud swollen breast´s.... :rotfl:Music is playing the heroes march...
No more "Ritterkreuz-Party´s"...

I like building up the crew step by step. A seperate mod should do it better...and this war badge thing is also solved this way :know:

[leeclose]

i have to agree with Phantom on this half the fun is moulding your crew bernard included into a good crew of trim fighting(boozing)men.:up:

[Mush Martin]

I takes about forty seconds to take out the crew portions
so I will do that and then post 1.3.1 with the crew bits gone
and the campaign long term loadout corrected.

back in a little bit.

MM


Uberboot1.3.1beta has been released and is available on my file front page.
http://hosted.filefront.com/MushMartin

torpedo loadout corrected new gun suite drag reduced to aid with keyboard maneuvering
additional deckgun ammo. more speed equip available all years, rain force effect
on gun reduced to match windforce effect.ubercrew removed.

built in radar not available after 12/42 so buy one at the dock.

[PhantomLord]

Evenings this week are rescued

Merci beaucoup Mush :ahoy:

I´m off for kickin´ butts :D

[Mush Martin]

Well I hope the new version works out for ya I just got back from
my Drive after release.

she is a little just a very little slick in the corners but she still
handles like a champ and I did a dive test with it. woo hoo.
about eighteen seconds from pressing c to out of view.
sweet.
I had fun with it today finally after a few fairly frantic days
tested out the new AA set up.
it was nice here is my choices for todays mission.

Ok people here are some screenies for the new 1.3.1 beta uber boat doing a set of evasive zig zags using [ and ] handled like a dream also did a full circle evasive took 70 seconds and the circle was about .7 km at its widest slowest the boat dropped to was 21 knots. enjoy the screenies:

Ooo look at the wavy lines relaxing.....

Pick o the litter RDP and thanks it sure does stand out among
none enhanced screenies.

MM

[edit]

there seems to be some confusion over the evasion pattern included in 1.3.1

just to clear it up a bit.

the evasion pattern as it is will be of no use to players unless you have no other waypoints
and the course you need is due north.

otherwise its just there for me to experiment with to see what will work about it.

MM

[edit] there seems to be some need to point out that all of the original testers
that recieved uber1.1 are now good to just plain have fun until im done
2.0 at which point one or two of you will be asked to help with that.
but for now Ubergroop just eat em n smile.
MM

[edit] I know that 1.3.1 Handles ok but does anybody think I need to turn the
hull drag back up a bit or is it ok to me it seems to scud a little in the hard
corners.

also I have personally found it nice to be able to go back to using the keyboard
to steer without bleeding near so much speed. its a better method than
mouse steering in battle.

Same here....sometimes deck gun crew is dreaming of something spectacular..... i don´t know. They´re hanging the gunbarrels to the opposite side. Maybe it´s the psychological warfare? Showing ass to the enemy....
When i turn the guns by myself to right direction and go back to bridge everything is normal. They fire like hell...

[Mush Martin]

I just had another go at Happy Times, now, everytime I play that, I am NOT happy unless I destroy EVERYTHING! LOL :D

When is the next incarnation coming MM!?

Next incarnation is a while away yet PG.
I decided to put out 1.3 now become 1.3.1 to give
every one a whet appetite and something to do
while I chip away at 2.0

2.0 as it turns out will not be a modification of 1.3.1 instead
its a complete from the ground rebuild based on a IXD2 instead
of a IXB.

Even to my indulgent eye Uber 1.3.1 and its predecessors look
a little rough hewn, I am confident that Ill have 2.0 up to the
same standard as the 1.3.1 version by the end of the day.
but I have hopes of taking it further and need sometime
for study and practice. in an attempt to put some polish
on the big guy. There are some unique challenges in
the correction to the aft deckgun mount. and it may
take a little more than one new set of skills to defeat them
all.

Im about to do my second test of the day I had just popped in
to clear messages will be back on in a while.
So far though progress on 2.0 is steady and as expected.

Binoc targeting: mostly aft gun will fail, main gun sometimes
free picking: seems no problem so far. I don´t use that way so often. I´m the Kaleu! :arrgh!:

I was at it again over coffee

I can improve handling but there is a speed penalty always.
15 knts down over 50% in hard over turns but in the slolom
she sure tracks like shes on rails these are six second rudder
reversals at the end. I'd like to say that Longer Wakes mod
isnt just beautiful its totally useful in the physics tests. Not
done yet the speed penalty is still too much.

Hey mush another small possible prob with the 1.3.1 uber mod. Tonight i sank a whaling ship in BF14 using forward deck and AA guns.
Screenie below now the weird bit is this i got the target destroyed message and the yipee from the crew and heres the but, it never showed on my map as the wee red broken ship and did not register on my Skippers log.
It was a british ship and the war was on i was kinda surprised by this however this is the second time in 2 nights its happened. Its my first patrol which ive just finished after sinking 3 convoys screenie below and putting 254000 tons of enemy shipping planes and rubber ducks on the bottom it could be a prob with GWX but not to sure if any one else has came across this prob so far?:hmm:

[Mush Martin]

Lee I do not know what the possible causes of missing wreck icon or tally failure are I have not had these symptoms but I dont have a campaign on
the go with uber.

It is my suspicion that these two symptoms are not directly related
to uberboot but are from another cause.

I dont know this yet but will look into it as best I can.
there were some threads on these symptoms last week
and as far as I can remember they were not uberplayers.

[leeclose]

Yup i was thinking there was a outside cause but hey i thought i would let ya know mate hopefully its some one elses fault and we can blame them and point fingers at them:rotfl:

If my remembrance doesn´t fool me...this is a known stock problem. I had this sometimes with SH3 stock, with TGW1.1 and with GWX.

Screenie below now the weird bit is this i got the target destroyed message and the yipee from the crew and heres the but, it never showed on my map as the wee red broken ship and did not register on my Skippers log.
It was a british ship and the war was on i was kinda surprised by this however this is the second time in 2 nights its happened. Its my first patrol which ive just finished after sinking 3 convoys screenie below and putting 254000 tons of enemy shipping planes and rubber ducks on the bottom it could be a prob with GWX but not to sure if any one else has came across this prob so far?:hmm:
If my remembrance doesn´t fool me...this is a known stock problem. I had this sometimes with SH3 stock, with TGW1.1 and with GWX.
Take it as "Sinking not observed" and go on hunting.
With last nights patrol i kicked 306000 enemy tons into the garbage can and some planes....who cares about a single ship? :D

You know PL I cant help but feel that you really have caught the
spirit of the thing somehow.

as for the pic above the turn began in the same half second as the
torpedo launch so I could use the stopwatch to measure performance
the turn and the clock start at the same time in the picture the
ship has the rudder hard over the speed indicated is sustainable
in the hardover turn.
(80 seconds to complete circuit)

It doesnt show in this pic at all but I also lowered how deep
the boat sits in the water a little to give a slightly more sinister looking
trim. the only effect of this will be waves in blue water storms but
should be about the same for that as a IXB is (inconsequential)

Its nice to see were doing our bit hehehe between us we did half a million tons last night Phantom :rock:

Now this raises the question in my mind that as far as
campaigning and M/P missions go shouldnt we further
not lesser limit the ammo loadouts to make competition
a little tighter buisness.?????????????????????

[leeclose]

hmm yeah it could be a possibility Mush theoreically i could have stayed out and took on another convoy maybe 2 but i prefer to take the escorts out with eels first hmm very intresting point:yep:

[PhantomLord]

Hmm...okay. Lets do the million tonight :arrgh!:

Last patrol: 29. Sept. - 29. Okt. 1939 (31 days), sunk 305674 tons. Promoted to Kapitänleutnant. Honured with EK II and EK I.

Tonight i´ll go out from Wilhelmshaven for turn 2...

Ammo is more than enough. I´m back in port with 2/3 of my ammo left.

1. Taking eels for escorts
2. surfacing in convoy middle
3. shoot everybody down within 30 minutes :rock:

[leeclose]

Phantom remember and take screenies and remmeber and tell me about any probs:up: oh and when do we get this thread stickied hint hint nudge nudge

Uberboot 2.0 has shipped out to a single tester.
conversion to IXD2 goes steadily and problems
are mostly known issues. handling is supreme now.
dive tests show good stability and handling underwater.

have some concern about noise radiation issues underwater
and will be testing for that this week also am working now
on a working Auto evasion pattern for the included single mission
surface combat. and will be working up a multiplayer mission
for surface combat this week.

Am researching UberAmericanStyle for SH4 also researching moving
German Uber and other subs as a topic.

The first version seems eons ago now, good luck Mush with this new version, looks good:up:

[Mush Martin]

I have decided to take a few days off from the forums in general
to try and catch my modding education up to my commitments.
and reorganize my Silent Hunter Database a bit to streamline
a whole bunch of stuff compartmentalize a whole bunch of
other stuff and delete a few gazzillion redundencies.

consequently some of my posted screenies may have dissappeared
today. work on uberboot 2.0 will continue steadily , however in order
to keep progress reported and questions answered I am leaving Leeclose
to monitor the thread for now.

Ubergroop at times consists of as much as twenty parttime enthusiasts.
however with only myself and one other fulltime ubergroopie it will be he
that holds down the fort.

with all the action going on on sh4 threads right now it seems doubtful that
we will get many questions in the week or so ill need but if you do have any
questions or need to contact me just let lee know.
