Search Lights...

[madmike81]

Is there a file i can remove/modify so i can get rid of the searchlights from allied shipping? When i hit a convoy/port at night and there are multiple searchlights going the give me a ctd.

Thanks in advance!!

edit the ship's .eqp files and remove the ref_small and ref_big (those are the searchlights). You can edit .eqp files with notepad. Replace the entries with 'NULL'.

the best way would be to NULL the links in each ships .eqp file.
NodeName=L01
LinkName=REF_small

to

NodeName=L01
LinkName=NULL

Do that for all L0- nodes

Strange that searchlights causes a CTD. Since when did that happen? Shouldn't you reinstall?

its just an issue with my cpu i think. i run sh3 on a laptop...dual core and plenty of memory...but the graphics card isnt exactly a state fo the art piece of gear. i only get problems when i attack targets at night and there are search lights everywhere....other than that the game screams along rather well.
