[REQ] Unlimited/lots more torps

[Captainrave]

Im not sure if this has been requested already...but it would be a popular mod. It should have been included as an option in the realism section, but unfortunatly its missing. Anyone know if this can be done?

[CaptainCox]

hm mm another "ack ack" laser mod request ? :p

[Captainrave]

Well its annoying...how am I supposed to take out a whole task force with the limited number of torpedoes they give you :D

[CaptainCox]

Well i guess your not supposed to do that, or otherwise the US NAVY could have only built 1 Sub for the whole pacific...now that's a thought, gatling torpedo tubes with nuke warheads...it will come...it will for sure come. Not for me but...I guess some ppl want to play this as an arcade game...but again...not CptCox ;)

[Captainrave]

Well I love the game as it is...but now and again its fun to try something different.

[CyberOps]

yeah i would love that option to just like instant reload or something lol

[Jab_Bauer]

Faster reloads would be great. But no.. im reluctant. Im playing with all realistic settings.. except outside view and event view. I have to turn them on. watching your torpedo hit the target in the little window is cool. I dont see why its disabled in all but the lowest settings.

[Captainrave]

Modify the NSS_xxx.sim files to your liking. ( Data/Submarine/NSS_xxx )
Just change load_time and xfer_time to something like 0,01 in it will be instant :)

[Captainrave]

Is there anything in there to add more torpedoes?

Save Your Game in Port.
Goto \Docs and Settings\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames
Take the last folder, save-copy it to another location (Important!)
Open ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc
Look for:
[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1.WeaponSlot 1] and for
[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1.WeaponSlot 1.Weapon]
Here you can change e.g.
IDLinkWeaponLoaded=TorpedoTube21inUS, Mk14Torpedo ->
IDLinkWeaponLoaded=TorpedoTube21inUS, Mk16Torpedo etc.
and
AmmoTypeLoaded=Mk14TorpUS ->
AmmoTypeLoaded=Mk16TorpUS
Now look for
[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1.Bunker 1]
and
[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 5.Bunker 1]
Here you change the Capacity to what you like (be serious, 100 is too much)
Here you say what to load:
IDLinkAmmunitionLoaded=Mk16Torpedo,30
or
IDLinkAmmunitionLoaded=Mk16Torpedo,10,Mk14Torpedo, 20

Not a mod, but it works.

Thanks, djdodo :)
I've updated my post with SH4 cheats (http://maxt.dk/archives/2007/03/22/silent-hunter-4-cheats/) with your solution!

[djdodo]

Testing it.
With 30 Mk16 i got a CTD.

How the heck do you ever change those crap, I opend the files but can't find the right line of text.

[ngcsubutterbar]

wow does that work. I've been looking for something like this.

[ngcsubutterbar]

Well I'm able to change the number of torps I can put in the reserve pool, but it CTD anything over the default for the boat.

[ngcsubutterbar]

Anyone figure out how to work this without crashing. It was possible in SH3, don't know why it's crashing now.

[tycho102]

Well, if you're wanting cheats, there's some torpedo cheats available. It's not exactly what you're wanting (zip-gun torpedo launcher), but you can take out entire convoys.
