[TEC] Question about SH3 Minitweaker and depthcharges

[Patrick]

Hello! I have a question regarding editing depthcharges in the exellent Mini tweaker program.

Early in the war, the subhunters didnt realise that subs could go much deeper than before. This meant that subs now and then was able to dive deep and get away. This seems to be modeled in SH3. Because if I go below 150 m ( early in war). The depthcharges explodes above me. I find this quite boring, after a while. Then I took a look a the minitweakerprogram, and found out that it is possible to edit the depthcharges. Now. Some of the settings I understand but not all. I would be glad if you could help me out here.

Here we go:

I loaded the "depthcharges.sim file in the minitweaker and the following lines comes up:

A. Fall speed. This I understand. In meters, right?
B. Detonate depth? Dont understand. If a set a value of, say, 25? What happens?
C. Depth precision? Dont understand. If I set a value of 2. Does this means that it will explode within 2 meters of my sub?
D. Explosion range? The sub will shake and rock within a certain distance?
E. Explosion impulse? Sorry lost here too..

Then I load up the "depthcharges.zon"

A. MinEf 250? What does that mean?
B. MaxEf 200? What does that mean?
C. Minradius. I think i got this one. If the depthcharge explodes within a certain distance, the sub will be damaged. or?
D.Maxradius. Ehhm, need some help here.

Lastly, what I would like to do is to make the depthcharges travel beyond 150 meters early in the war. So I dont get bored to death.

Some stupid questions perhaps. But this seems to be the place to ask these kind of questions.

DC.sim
A.Dont kno
B.dont kno
C.dont kno
D.Maybe
E.How much the DC will shake ur sub or something

DC.zon
A.The min a DC can do to damage ur sub
B.The max a DC can do to damage ur sub
(maybe)
C.The min radius a DC will like damage or rock ur sub
D.The max radius a DC will like damage ur sub
Im not that clear on the DC part of the tweaker but I can help u on other stuff.

Also, this topic should be in the SH3 Modshop forum.

A= yes
B= depth of effect (how high the water splashes go up depends on
How deep the effect as opposed to the d/c is set)

C= Unknown presumably within the designated number of meters
D= Unknown
E= force energy of explosion? unclear.


min and max effect are amount and degree of damage I think
and
min and max radius are size of damage area in which the amount
of damage will show. and blast effects i think.

also this I think is on the incorrect thread it is quite likely
that you will find your thread moved over to sh3 forum by
one of the moderators sometime soon. it happens though
so dont worry about it to much. just be prepared for it
and remember the moderators have a job to do and it
isnt anything personal when they do it.d

And Welcome aboard subsim Kaleun Patrick.

Thanks...

And sorry for posting in the wrong place..
Perhaps I will try to change the equipment of the destroyers. Let them have sonar that can determine how deep my sub is. If its possible. Think it was the type 147 sonar that had the ability to determine at which depth a sub were. Maybe its hardcoded. who knows..:stare:. Will try some testing and see what happens.
