View Full Version : Floor settings not working
With latest patch and lwami latests (3.08), I found that floor settings ain't working. We were playing mp with my friend against against AI. There was one sub near my teammate, so I said to him to go under 250 feet, and set the torpedoes floor to 200. After launch, my teammate said that they are targeted to him, but I thought it's just because enemy sub was so close to him. Well, after some time my teammate got hit, with my torpedoes. He was under the floor setting, so what just had happened? :hmm:
No one?
So it must be a bug in lwami some kind. Very bad thing. :down:

50 feet of clearance and it's "not working" or "some kind of LWAMI bug?"
Where in the LWAMI readme do you see ANYTHING about changes to the floor settings? Hint: nowhere. So why would you assume that floor settings work any differently in LWAMI 3.08 than they do in stock DW?
Maybe instead of assuming that changes were made that you don't see in the readme, you should use the floor setting the same way you'd use it in stock DW, since there is no indication that it would work any differently. And we already know (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=90603&highlight=ceiling) that if you put a torp 50 feet under the keel of a neutral in stock DW, you kill the neutral. Got any evidence that floors work differently?
This is what it looks like when you shoot a torp with a floor of 900ft against a 688I at 1400 feet (DW 1.04 + LWAMI 1.08): http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/1479/ceilingya2.jpg
Acquired, homed, and passed right overhead.
Where's the bug?

:nope:
The only way I could see you getting away with that one is only if you didn't activate the torpedo till it was well past your buddy.
Now i have some answers. :p
Sorry to provoke answers, this time it worked.
From DW manual: "Floor: Sets the depth below which the weapon will not go."
So, how it really works then?
How much have to be the depth difference between neutral sub and active torpedo?

You know what? You're right. I never should have rewarded your behavior with any information. Next time you pull this crap I'm just going to tell you you're wrong and to test it out yourself. There are way too many people on this board that think it's OK to scream "bug" without checking a few things out first, and it's irresponsible for us to be enabling you.

I have no reason to believe SCS's statement is inaccurate. I don't think the torpedo needs to go below 200ft to hit a sub at 250ft. See the ceiling thread.

Nobody knows here; if they did it would have been posted already.
So here's your opportunity for redemption. Run a few tests and tell us what you've learned. Be a contributor.
Come on guys. Don't be so serious. :sunny:

Let us know when you have the numbers. It'll make using the floor setting easier for everyone. :yep:
Okay. I do some stydying this weekend. I will send some info about it then. :up:
