Disappearing green lines on battle map

[harrymanback]

Saw a thread a few pages back about this problem, but was no resolution. On the torpedo tutorial mission you get a green trajectory line and your fired torpedos shown on the battle map, but once I start the game this disappears. Does anyone know of any patch plans for this bug?

One other bug I noticed - I switched my stern artillery for a bow one, figuring it would be easier to target ships with, but now the gun has disappeared from the crew management screen, and I have no one to man it, so I have to do all my firing manually. Anyone found this/sorted it?

cheers

sorry this should probably be in the bug thread. If a mod would be so kind to move/delete...

Its a common problem for boats coming of Pearl. The bug has to do with crossing the international date line. Some mods, like Ducimus' start the player past the date line so the problem only shows up when you are returning to base.

The deck gun is also another know problem. I've had it happen to me too. You cannot crew it but you can still use it yourself.

I've been playing with a front deck gun since I started my 1st campaign. I've not had any trouble with the gun or with the crew screen associated with it.

so ... crossing the international date line causes problems in the attack map torpedo and torpedo route display ? weird connection huh ?

is this fixable ? or can this international date line be removed or placed somewhere else

looks like you have broken your game with mods.

There are many mods that have removed the sonar lines from the map due to more realistic game play. Sideeffect is that the green lines on attack screen are also removed.

Your issue with guns is also mod related. You must have installed a mod that puts you before the date when the gun is available.

No, they are both game bugs. I had the gun problem when I first installed the game and the attack map is discussed in depth somewhere on here.

Thanks guys for the info. Where do I get this 'ducimus' mod? Does it just start you out in the pacific somewhere after you leave port? If so sounds great as I wont have to twiddle my thumbs whilst I cross several thousand KM of empty pacific every time

WernerSobe - I haven't installed any mods. Its a bug. Count yourself lucky if you don't have it

It was called Flavored to Taste (FTT), and now is called Trigger Maru.

I think so your problem is caused by the "International Date Line Bug", Ducimus solved it moving your patrol start up point to the other side of the line, you will still having the probelm, but only when you back home to bases at east of the line, at end of the mission when you cross the International Date Line but as mentioned, when you arriving to home to finish the mission instead to have this problem when start up the mission.
