Arg! Crew Down!

[brotebjo]

Ok, I have a major problem that always happens to me late in my career. Sometimes when I am submerged attacking a convoy in the open Atlantic or docked ships in a harbor and when I'm done attacking, move out to safe area and surface my crew will all of a sudden die. Sometimes I'll only lose one crew member (usually in the watch tower), sometimes all of them. Before anybody says that I hit a mine, I've also noticed this problem when I've surfaced for 10 secs or so. Also if I have multiple saves over a 60 sec period this problem will cascade down to some of my earlier saved games. What gives??? Do I have a corrupt file? Also I'm using GWX.

The zon files were never addressed when alterations were made to the conning towers in an earlier version....they are now good to go in the next GWX release :up:

Just on a side note Brotebjo, did you know that when a crew member dies if/when you surface the U-boat (enure no enemy are around :88)) if you right click on the dead crew member he will disappear ;). This I suspose represents a sea burial :up:.

Nothing worse then have a decomposing body in the hot sweaty hull of your U-boat :x

Ya I read that somewhere recently...someone had created a mod that enables burial music when you right click on one of your dead crew members...thanks for your input though!:D

Can you give me a link to that mod??? I want to make an animation that shows the dead being buried at sea and I need some key information from the mod you speak of.

[brotebjo]

Ah hell...I'll see what I can do, will send you a message if I do or don't find it

Brotebjo - i has the same problem - [dead all crew on the bridge after
surfacing] - that was only one time - after i leave Dover [almost all ships
sunked in port]. My sub was VIIC type...!

[brotebjo]

does anybody have a work around to this bug until GWX 1.4? Otherwise I might have to edit my files and move up the date of the XXI...:lol:

Very good idea, it would add a lot to the simfeeling. I red about that burial music some time ago, I'll search for that .....:ping:

It fixes the STOCK SH3 bug you described in the first post, where you lose crewmen stationed in the Type IX/3 conning tower in certain circumstances.

The compatability of this mod with mods other than GWX is not guaranteed. To anyone reading, if you do not use GWX... You may apply the mod at your own risk. It is JGSME ready.

Thank you Ref. Great work mate.:up: :up: :up:

[Kodaita]

Thank you loads Kpt. Lehmann. That bug has been driving me nuts. I've lost so many crewman that my new recruits are offering to go to the eastern front rather than serve with me. This should tide me over till GWX 1.4. :D
