.................................................. ..
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
Equip_Upgrades_Fix_1_4_AFFOE_151 ;<-- These files are replaced by Patch 1 AFFOE below so this is not needed.
Equip_Upgrades_Fix_1_4_Patch_1_AFFOE_151
Equipment Upgrade Fixes v1.4 Patch 1 HotFix (http://www.mediafire.com/?p54b9i86lvcnewv) :<--Fixes Bunker Torpedo Loadout Screen
.................................................. ...........
TDW_No_Hydrophone_On_Surface_No_Aircraft_Spotting_ 1_1_0 ;<-- REM mode below changes same files.
.................................................. ..................................
R.E.M_by_Xrundel_TheBeast_1.2 ;<-- If using New UIs TDC mod, TDW made new version of this.

Could You please clairify if this order is correct or not? May be some mods are not usefull to be installed at all:hmmm:

Thanks in advance,
Best regards:salute:
I hope this is info you were looking for?

I hope this is info you were looking for?

Yes, thanks a lot, mate:yeah:
I've already merged hotfix into EUF 1.4 patch1, and the new version of REM is just the replaced Uboat_sensors.sim file from TDW:yep:. I've being worried because my sonarguy sometimes reports sound contact when I'm on surface though hydrophone's icon is not available (as it should be):salute:

Although I do agree that Hydrophone effectiveness should be limited while surfaced. IMO, the only Hydrophone that should not function at all while surfaced is the KDB type Hydrophone that is Mounted on the Deck above the waterline.

The GHG Hydrophone heads are mounted approximately 1-3 meters below the waterline just above forward dive planes.

The Balkon Gerat is mounted on the forward part of the Keel, approximately 4-5 meters below water line. This Hydrophone should work fairly well while surfaced and depending on current speed and storm conditions it should easily be able to detect sound contacts well before deck watch visual detection.

Please confirme installation order, R.E.M. shall be installed (including TDW UBoot_Sensors.sim for R.E.M. version 1.2) after Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast. Is that correct:hmmm:

Looking at the file either stock or modded , just trying to understand these values .

;DamageDescription1= Taken_DamageType, MinDamage, MaxDamage, MinMaintenance, MaxMaintenance, chancefactor, Message, Spawned_damage_HP, Spawned_damage_AP, Spawned_Damage_Type, EfficiencyReduction, repair_skill, repairtime_in_hours

Does the 1 indicate there is a 100% chance that the equipment will malfunction ?

Good question but I am sorry I do not have a answer for that.:doh:
I have not experimented with those settings as yet so they are stock values.
I know that some times when taking damage it seems that value may equal 100% for some equipment items though.:haha:

I've looked all over for the MOD,

Equip_Upgrades_Fix_1_4_Patch_1_AFFOE_151

mentioned in post #252 of this thread and am unable to find it anywhere.

Would some kind soul give me a link?

Thanks

It is optional MOD included with Equip_Upgrades_Fix_1_4_Patch_1 MOD archive not a sepporate download.

Hi, I just have a quick question about the order of using this mod with OHII. In the first post it says:

WARNING:
Install this MOD Last.

But I see a ton of people that have Equipment Upgrades before OHII in their mod lists. Which way is actually "correct?" I've tried searching but can't seem to find a concrete answer. Thanks.

Don't worry, it's just the modder's tradition to wright this phrase in the release posts:D. Put it before OHII - and it should work:up:

[fromhell]

problem, or so i think.
after installing mod, i go to mechanic in bunker and look at the available options and find that in 1940 i can have what wasnt inventored till 1944-45 installed on my boat. am i doing something wrong or is this correct.
seems abit unhistorical.
if this is correct is there away for me to change this please.
many thanks:salute:

It is OK. Its all up to You - don't install devices that seemed unhistorical at the current period of campaign if You desire to follow the events as it was in real life:up: If I'm not mistaken TheBeast made an 'all service included' version just for testing :salute:

[Husksubsky]

Short question. I ve been very uphung in torpspeeds after screwing up choosing torp range and damage points for torpedoman. There are some torps here with different speeds. does the TDC recognize the different speeds?

[mayenn]

Thx a lot!

Hi TheBeast,

really a great job! :yeah: A short question.

What is the different between Tranmatte / Tranmatte Improved?
The values are the same in both.


Tarnmatte Radar absorbent material
Thickness: 4 mm
Radar reflection reduction: 25%
Improved Alberich Sound absorbent rubber
Thickness: 5 mm
Echo reflection reduction: 25%



I have written you a PM.

Hi,

I dont know if this issue has been reported, but i have found nothing on the Forum.

I have the following mods enabled by JSGME:
No magic skills v1.5 MCCD Complatible
Mighty fine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Alt w. beards
Funelsmoke_Planes_Sounds_by AOTDMadMax
Wamphyri´s Plane Mod
NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_By_TDW
Equipment upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
Equipment upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
Equipment upgrades__Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_Hotfix

The issue is this:
At Black May Campaign with a VIIC/41, and upgrading with snorkel, and selecting no Radar Warning receiver on the top of the mast, i have the mast of a FUMO-65 radar mast rotating at the snorkel instead of a rundipol mast.

Is this installation a MOD upgrade (not probably) or a bug?

Is a problem with my combination of MODs?

Thanks in advance!!

[pedrobas]

It´s not your mod soup, happens to me also when you select RWR snorkel mounted, is something that have to be correct in this mod (or some kind of incompatiblity between this mod and TDW UI). What i do, is just to select the normal FUMO29 and not the snorkel mounted.

Yep.

It will be fixed eventually, I'm sure, but for now the only thing you can do is to NOT buy stuff that hadn't been invented yet.

Do the PAtch and Hotfix have to be activated in JSGME or do I overwrite the files in the original mod?

Thanks!

hello,
here my mod soup and I play the campaign "final year" and in the bunker, I've not the schnorkel to equip my sub.what s the mistake?

many thanks for answer:salute:

[Wodin]

Just making sure here, I upgraded to a 10.5 deck gun but it doesn't show in the menu when I'm on the boat, it still says 8.8...is that right?

[Raven_2012]

You might have your mods in wrong order, what is your mod soup order?

Try this link to help you get in order:

[Wodin]

It's just that I saw a post saying that that menu hadn't ben done yet, so i was checking whether that is the case.


I've tried the mod orders in different ways to no avail, so I'm sticking to IRA No Torp or Plane, REM TDW Beast, Equip 1.4 plus patch then hot fix and then using the sensor file for REM.

You have to do this:


Manual Edit of data\Menu\Menu.txt required for new 10.5 cm Deck Gun mouse over Tool Tip.

6936=10.5 cm Deck Gun
6937=<b>10.5 cm Deck Gun</b>|<orange>Good vs. unarmed ships</orange>|It can be most effective against unarmed ships and for coup de grace hits to conserve the limited torpedo supply. The safest way to use the gun is to position the boat at the stern of the target and pointed towards it in order to reduce the exposed surface and minimize the boat's rolling and pitching. The gun is useless against most warships, their arsenal can easily outgun the U-boat.|<green>Left click to use the 10.5 cm Deck Gun.</green><red>Cannot use when submerged.</red>

After installing your mod+patch+fix i can load every torpedo type in 1939 with my VIIA sub.

Is it normal?

Yes is intended like that.

It's also the only reason I haven't enabled this otherwise excellent mod yet. I know, I can just NOT buy equipment that wasn't historically available, but I just can't deal with having to consult a spreadsheet in order to find out what I should be allowed to buy every time I upgrade.

This is not a slam of the mod, by the way, it's truly excellent and if I had the skills of TheBeast, which I don't, I too would put "historical availability dates" on the back burner until the mod was done. What he's done for the equipment is nothing short of miraculous and I, for one, salute him. :salute:

In MMMv0.3 there will be the possibility to choose what kind of Equipment Upgrade do you want:

1- With Date & Renown
2- With Date & No Renown
3- No Date & Renown
4- No Date & No Renown

This way you can choose what you prefer. :rock:

does it work with critical hits mods? I have 1.1 and 1.2 and installed yours last per instructions and when i load into the harbor my ship is sinking to the bottom ( i havent tried to start a mission yet because I'm trying to find out how to bypass the requirement to use renown with your equipment mod for torps, etc.)


Any suggestion on the sinking or getting pass the renown requirement with your mod?

Hello Beast Im trying to tweak the files so I can get everything for free but no luck which files should I tweak and which codes:hmmm:. TY for a great mod:rock:

In game:

For Example:

[UpgradePack 8]
ID= UpackUb7KDB
NameDisplayable=UpackIXKDB-Name
Info=UpackIXKDB-Info

Change 2000 to 0, and save. It wont cost nothing when you are in bunker. Some will have more than one to change, its because in certain years the cost is different.

So you fixed the dates? I was looking through the Ammunition.upc it seemed like all that was needed is to move some semicolons around for the torpedo to have more accurate dates. I was going to fix that for my personal game and try to fix the equipment date. If you already did something like that, I will have to download your mega mod and use that file in my game, that will save me some time.

[Rick73]

This is great! Thank you:yeah:

[Raven_2012]

I've got the torpedo dates adjusted back, so they aren't given all at once. Not hard at all.

I want to do the same to the equipment upgrades. I'm doing it for my SH5 game, if you guys want and with permission from TheBeast I will try to upload them. Only if you want and are tired of going back and forth looking at the spreed sheet. I know I am.

Hello,
Great mod.

I have a question though
What to install first? NEW_UIs_TDW or your mod?
Which one comes first?

Because there are 4 files that are conflicting (sns files for Uboats)

[Factor_X]

Is this mod compatible with the New_UI_TDW 6.9.0 anyway?

I see a lot of files conflicting

[Sartoris]

They are compatible, just install Upgrades Fix last and say yes to all conflicts, it's normal. :up:

[Dogfish40]

Ahoy Kaleuns,
I loaded up this very fine mod (Equipment upgrades) and it worked just fine. I did notice something odd though; After upgrading a couple of things (Hydrophone type, One Torpedo Cheat{one of the homing type, not available at the time} for the stern tube and a new camo paint scheme, after starting the patrol my commands for several of the crew were gone,...well sort of. For instance, when I click on the Navigator, most of the commands were numbers only, so instead of it looking like this; 1. Give me Depth under... 2. What's the weather like up... 3. Let's go, return to course , It looks like this , 1. blank 2. blank 3. blank , except the last one 4. "Keep up the good work" was fine.
The same with the 1st Lieutenant and the Bosun I think. The Chief and the rest were OK. Now... When I deactivated Equipment Upgrades (and the hotfix) the MCCD problem was gone, that is the crew dialog was back to normal. The good thing is that after I deactivated 'Equipment upgrades" I got to keep most of my up grades, all except the Camo paint. It left a yellow stripe on the conning tower which I'm not crazy about but, I'm on my way.
In short, (LOL) do we have any reason for the conflict between the MCCD mod and Equipment upgrades?!
Anyway, I must say that I love both mods and if I can use the Equipment upgrade mod in some small way I will.
Cheers.

Awsome Mod,

is there a version that has the correct dates.
I installed the mod and it seemed that all equipment
was available from day one. its great to be able to try
out everything but it would be nice to have realistic dates.
or even to have the dates that diferent equipment types were
available in the description window so you could know if your
using something that wasnt yet released.
Please dont missunderstand me im not downing your mod in any way
i can see a lot of time has been spent on it , but im interested in
keeping the status quoe and trying to play as realistic as possible.

Awsome Mod,

is there a version that has the correct dates.
I installed the mod and it seemed that all equipment
was available from day one. its great to be able to try
out everything but it would be nice to have realistic dates.
or even to have the dates that diferent equipment types were
available in the description window so you could know if your
using something that wasnt yet released.
Please dont missunderstand me im not downing your mod in any way
i can see a lot of time has been spent on it , but im interested in
keeping the status quoe and trying to play as realistic as possible.
Again , great work and thanks for sharing your work with the comunity.

Stu, here's a link to the following chart showing the year of availability of each type of equipment available in TheBeast's excellent mod;

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3126

Just copy and paste it and you'll have a convenient desk side copy.

Thanks

...was there a specific reason not implementing the availability dates into the mod ???

[Trevally.]

...was there a specific reason not implementing the availability dates into the mod ???

I think that thebeast wanted as many users as possible to try all the equipment. Any bugs could then be checked before adding the dates.

But he has not been back for some time now:hmmm:

[Dogfish40]

For one, thanks to the Beast for this mod.
I've a question/observation. When I submerged after activating this mod, I noticed first that my Ob Scope was much higher from the surface of the water. It became apparent that my periscope depth has changed. Can I adjust this, and if so, where do I go to do this?
Thanks again for the Mod!! :up:

His last log in was a month ago.
I'd think he's had nothing to say during that time.

Seems like a really nice mod going to try it now

[Finmark]

I will have to try this mod also. Looks really nice.

[Kark]

This MOD has nothing to do with Crew Efficiency and does not touch those files.
There is a Game Bug that happens when enabling/disabling MODs while at sea that may cause this to happen.

I don't know if anybody even cares but I'm having the same problems as Johnwoo.
Crew efficiency is zero, moral is usually high. Only exception is the navigator, who still got full eff. I never installed MODs on patrol, not even the ones that were supposedly fine with that.
And it is definetly related to the Equipment Upgrades Fix, removing it fixes the bug. I can imagine it has something to do with the new tropedos (for the torp guy) new radar (Sound guy) and so on.

Anway, since it doesn't seem to affect the REAL efficiency (torps are still being loaded quite fast and speed is still increased due to upgrading the mechanic) my issues are still of aesthetical nature:) Would just like to see "everything is green and under control" rather than the red bars when clicking on the crew interface.

If anybody knows a way around that problem, I'm listening.

Besides that: Great MOD (like most of them around here)! Just blasted my first plane out of the sky with my new Flak:yeah:
Thank you very much!

[volodya61]

Maybe you should try to start a new campaign?

[Kark]

good idea, i applied the MOD at the beginning of the Mare Nostrum anyway, so that is possible.
Or do you mean (holy cow) to start all over again from the beginning? :-?

Did anybody ever mod this already awesome mod to include the historical availability dates so I won't have to consult a spreadsheet before I buy an upgrade?

Im sure this was the next stage for TheBeast. he just wanted many people to test the equip before doing this last part of his mod.

I have not seen him back on the forum after that message:hmmm:

[TheBeast]

Did anybody ever mod this already awesome mod to include the historical availability dates so I won't have to consult a spreadsheet before I buy an upgrade?
Several people have asked me if they could continue work on this MOD and I gave them permission to do so but I have not seen anything come to fruition.
At least, not at SubSim.com


I have not even looked at any MOD’s for several months now but I am fairly certain that the Availability Dates are present in the files but commented out for testing purposes.

i.e. Data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\UpgradePacks.upc
[UpgradePack 2]

NameDisplayable=UpackVIIFUMO29Radar-Name

UpgradePackSlotType= UboatType7Radar
ImageIndex=14

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=NULL, 1942-06-01, 2000
;UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=1942-02-01, 1942-06-01, 2000
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions2=1942-06-01, 1942-08-01, 1000
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions3=1942-08-01, 1942-10-01, 900
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions4=1942-10-01, 1943-02-01, 800
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions5=1943-02-01, NULL, 300
IDLinkUpgradePackElements= EqpFumo29RadarApp, NULL, EqpFuMO29
TrackingID=601

The ";" character will comment a line so the game engine does not read that line for configuration.

[TheBeast]

PS how do i get historical dates for the schnorkel ?

I was planning to use data\Menu\Data\UpgradesChart.dds chart as guidline for Equipment Upgrade Dates.

But it really depends on how the Campaign is setup.
- When do Aircraft begin using Radar in the Campaign.
- What base is currently designated as Home Port.
- What are the designated Patrol Area's/Mission Requirements.

Germany began using Schnorchel in 1939 but very few uboats (2 or 3) were equiped with a Schnorchel at that time.

Historically, I think it was in 1943 that usage of the Schnorchel became more common place as it was almost required just to survive.

Not sure why my pastebin disappeared. Anyway, you need to merge and renumber the FFOE entries with Sobers modified UpgradePacks.upc file if you want the emblems to work with it. Easy to do yourself if you don't want to wait. I also uploaded the specific file here (http://www.sendspace.com/file/c3v73p), with FFOE entries already added, if anyone wants it.

All availabilty dates were changed for testing purposes but the only feedback I receive is "I have access to everything" almost nothing about things not working.

Today I have done some work combining the Bubbles and 3D Deck Splash Mod's.

During this process I have optimized the Controllers that both Mod's Add. This will greatly reduce file size and increase game performance when compared to previous versions.

Because of optimization changes, I am merging these new changes with Equipment Upgrade Fixes. This will also result in lowering the number of files required for even further optimization and less confusion about Mod conflicts.

I´m working on it.


Yes, entries in the UPC files may override TSR descriptions and must be corrected. When/If time permits I will look into this.

My latest Bubble_01.dds is looking much better. It increases visablility but not to much.

I am working on this bit-by-bit but keep getting interrupted by real life. End of summer here and many people have been stopping by.
I am selling this house so I will be moving soon to a new home. This will put me offline for some unknown amount of time.

Thank you for information and nice bubbles:up:

Hope you get a good price for your estate and feeling comfortable in your new on. :yeah:

Just remembered that if you install Equipment Upgrade Fixes Mod after starting a Campaign that some Equipment may not be available on current boat.

For Example the Hinged Snorkel:
The Hinged Snorkel replaces your deck gun when equipped.
The Problem is the the Submarine UPCGE file originally did not contain any refference to this upgrade option when you took command of your boat.
In turn, your save game files do not have any refference to this specific update option and this specific information is not updated in the files mentioned below once you have started a Career.
This results in the Upgrade Option not listing when in the Bunker.

To fix this, you can manually edit your save game files to enable the option to intall this item.
There are two (2) files that will need to be edited in the "~\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames\<last_save_folder>" folder.
1. "ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc"
2. "UPCInitial\ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc"
These two files need to be in sync or may cause CTD.

Use Notepad Search function to find "AcceptedTypes=GerMediumDeckGun". There may be multiple instance of this entry depending on how many Conning Towers are available for your current Submarine. All instance will need to be updated.
Change it to be "AcceptedTypes=GerMediumDeckGun,UboatType7xSnorkle"
NOTE: depending on the Type Uboat you have, "x" can equal a, b, c or c41
Save changes and launch or restart the game.
Load the Save game that you edited.

If you are in the Bunker, the snorkel should be available upgrade option. At least until I start enforcing Equipment Availabilty Dates.
If you are at sea, this upgrade should be available the next time you return to port.

I hope this answers some questions that a few people have sent PM's about.

New Submarine FX Screen Capture with Bubbles.
http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/4894/submarinefx1.jpg
The Bubble size varies from very small to medium size.
As you can see above. Bubbles that have submarine behind them are clear and bubbles without anything behind them seem out of focus causing small bubbles to vanish. I think this is caused by one of the Environment Underwater Filters but not sure yet. I am using Environmental v5 by W_cler and I will try stock Environment to see if that makes a difference.
The new bubble_01.dds texture is looking good. Now I can play with Particle Opacity values for fine tuning of this FX after I deal with possiable Environment Underwater Filter issue.

Finally got the time for testing your next version of EUF / U-boat FX... better late than never :D

So far I've carried out just a quick test with a VIIC/41 but hey man, it is already enought for saying that you made a crazy work on those FX, but probably a few images are telling more than a thousand words:

bow view:
http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/9435/eufbowview.jpg

the conning tower from astearn:

decks awash:

In one word, stunning :up:

my only remarks:

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/3316/eufhatch.jpg

Splashes are visible in conning tower's interior when looking from top of it down the hatch...

and after diving I couldn't see any bubble, but maybe the custom mission I picked was too dark for testing them...

Oh wait, I've just realized that I forgot to delete the bubbles dds, as you were suggesting to do :doh:.
What an orrible beta tester I am :oops:

Great picture!:up:

[TheBeast]

my only remarks:

Yes, this is known issue.:nope:
When you are ouside ship with Deck Watch and looking down into boat you can see the Splashes.
There is really nothing I can do about that. I think it is related to seeing Deck Watch Shadows on Exterior surface of Conning Tower because Conning Tower Structure is not blocking.

and after diving I couldn't see any bubble, but maybe the custom mission I picked was too dark for testing them...
Yes, sorry about the Blue Bubble I accidently include. Blue Bubble is Como in Blue Water.:haha:

nice texture, but a bit too rounded. In RL underwater bubbles look a bit more oval and overally irregular, with a little concavity on their south pole due to the buoyancy force acting on them.
Like in this picture:

or, even better, in this one:

I am sure that with your experince in manipulating images you can easily modify the texture posted by you for obtaining a more natural results :)

[GT182]

Beast. I have the VIIc41 installed and the snorkel is on the conn. I can't use it as there's no key command that works for it. Any suggestions?

Okay, made some more testing. With a VIIB and in broad daylight this time :03:
Here are a few screenies:

Look guys at the water streaming from hull's holes: something I had not noticed during my previous test. Very well done, TheBeast! :up:

This time I didn't forget to replace the bubble_01 texture. Here's one last screenshot showing air bubbles coming from the deck:

http://imageshack.us/a/img442/3514/sh5img20120914124918.jpg

I've shightly modified TheBeast's texture. In my opinion bubbles look more like the real thing now. TheBeast, if you like my changes, here is the new texture, in PNG format:

hello,
I have downloaded this file and I have 2 folders:data and documentation;In documentation , I have 4 folders,how use these 4 folders?jsgme?
thanks

[Kalleblom]

You only have to extract the mod into your MODS folder and enable. The files in the document folder are only info stuff.

In your MODS folder it must show this:
EUF_UBoat_FX_v0_0_3_byTheBeast

and klick on enable.:up:

[LoTeK_]

I have the 3 files. Core mod, patch 1, patch 1 hotfix.
How to intall them correctly? Do I have to put them one in each own folder and enable all 3 with the mod enabler or I have to overwrite files and enable one folder only? Thank you.

[flostt]

enable the 3 downloaded folders with JSGME ( main mod, then patch, then patch hotifx)

[Dogfish40]

Everything that this mod is supposed to do it does. I just wanted to say that first before I go into this little glitch here.
For some reason on my patrol before the last, the Metox radar detecter was up on the bridge where it is supposed to be, (after I installed it.
The last patrol, I couldn't get the thing to come back. So I thought I would let it drop and see if it came back on this patrol, and nothing. I can't get the Metox radar detector to show on the bridge. Does anyone have a problem like this, with the metox. Did it arraive too soon and showed up as a fluke the first time??
Anyway, it says it's onboard when I'm in base and it won't let me uninstall/reinstall, from the upgrade page anyway.
Just wondering if anyone can give me a file to check or something.
Thanks.

The mount location(s) for the Radar Detectors are not defined propperly in regards to AcceptedTypes of equipment that can be equiped at these locations.
I just recently descovered this myself when adding new mount location C03 for the Snorkel Mount Radar Dectector.
Both C01 and C02 that are located on the Conning Tower have AcceptedType set to NULL. So when a device is installed it can go to either location if both exist.
This is a stock game bug.
I am looking into correcting this issue.
I beleive that C01 is for Early versions and C02 is for Later versions of the Radar Warning Receivers.
I plan to remove the Snorkel Mounted RWR as a Upgrades Option and if the Snorkel is Equiped, have the RWR installed automatically in mid 1943 time frame or later using the Uboat SNS files.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if that Metox that I had was on my type "A" boat. I thought I had the "B" by then but I could be wrong. It may be that very file which I saw by the way when I was looking around, but I didn't know what to replace "Null" with on the positions (if this makes any sense). I'll need to see if it was my type "A" boat that the Metox showed up. Now of course, on the "B" it doesn't.
I hope that your idea works there. Like I said, if I knew what to put in place of "null", I could try putting the Metox in differant CO_ placements to see if it will come up in the game. And, true, it makes sense that if there are two or more possible locals for the device (any device) it more than likely won't show at all, if I'm reading you right. :D
I'll check back to see if this will work.
Thanks :up:

[LoTeK_]

I have few questions about this mod. I'll be short...

I'm using sober's mm more or less and have this mod enabled (core+patch1+hotfix) but without sober's patch to make equip available by realistic date. Don't care about that I want all here and now (renown points permitting). :arrgh!:

Question is, it looks like I have available in '39 equipment that is listed as available at later times (which is fine as intended) but also vice versa (more important). The c30 flak for example in the 'storyline' picture is listed in 39 but I don't have it, they're still offering me the twin version in '40. I'm still on the VIIB at the moment tho, they still didn't offered me VIIC/41C new command, don't know if it's sub's dependent.
Can't seem to hit a thing anyway if it's flying, ai crew neither so I was looking for a more useful version against unarmed surface targets paired with the deck gun or when the deck gun is out of ammo. From planes I just hide, worked good so far.

In '39 I have all torpedoes, but only the first alberich camo, only the metox, no fumo, and some countermeasures mounts, but not all.
I'm quite confused in how this mod should work on this front, without sober's patch should be all or nothing at all while instead I get some cool things yes and some cool things no.

The snorkel I can't understand why it has to be bought, I have it functional since start without spending points or occuping equip slots.
But perhaps TDW's generic patcher or his ui mod+optioneditor affect this, is the one sold more or less functional than the 'stock' one? And more importantly, will I start an armageddon if I try to mount it while I already have it since start?

I can't seem to get radar or sonar working either, related crew commands are always greyed out no matter how good I dance while yelling them to use it. Radar antenna it's not even there anymore on the VIIB, searched everywhere with ext camera. Was there on VIIA. How should this cool sweep-sweep/ping-ping stuff work?

All the rest seem to work fine, it's super, just these few things I didn't get, perhaps my fault, very likely.

Not sure how complete Sober's Date Mod is because I haven't had time to try it out yet.
The reason I originally enabled all equipment in 1939 was for testing.
I am still getting some bug issue's reported.
So, until all issue's have been resolved, I will not be enforcing availabilty dates.
The Hinged Schnorchel for the Type VII class submarine really is not needed until 1943 but is nice to have available for Spy insertion missions.
Some Equipment is limited by Submarine revision or installed Tower.

The snorkel I can't understand why it has to be bought, I have it functional since start without spending points or occuping equip slots.
But perhaps TDW's generic patcher or his ui mod+optioneditor affect this, is the one sold more or less functional than the 'stock' one? And more importantly, will I start an armageddon if I try to mount it while I already have it since start?
By default, the Deck Gun is installed and the Snorkel replaces the Deck Gun. This is why you must use Renown to purchase it.
We could make it so there is NO Deck Gun or Snorkel installed by default. This would force you to earn Renown before you even have a Deck Gun.

I can't seem to get radar or sonar working either, related crew commands are always greyed out no matter how good I dance while yelling them to use it. Radar antenna it's not even there anymore on the VIIB, searched everywhere with ext camera. Was there on VIIA. How should this cool sweep-sweep/ping-ping stuff work?
SONAR: Sonar commands may be realted to UI Mod you are using.
In SHV, there is no Sonar available for use. Only Hydrophone is available.
Even Depth Under Keel should not work. I considered making a Sonar but I am certain many would have tounge lashed me if I did.
SONAR was not available until late 1943 and was installed on only a few Type VII Uboats. Maybe even just one (1) Type VII.
RADAR: The VIIA/B does not have mount location for Radar.
Many historical records dealing with this information were never recovered.
As of late, Deep Sea Salvage/Exploration has discovered that many Sunk Uboat had Snorkel's installed but there are no records of a Snorkel ever being installed on these sunk boats they have found.
Very scketchy info in this area.

All the rest seem to work fine, it's super, just these few things I didn't get, perhaps my fault, very likely.

The Starshell on the 10.5 cm gun don't seem to work, is this a bug? or was the effect never implemented? If not, it would be good if it did work.

[gap]

The Starshell on the 10.5 cm gun don't seem to work, is this a bug? or was the effect never implemented? If not, it would be good if it did work.

Two things:

1. The 105 mm gun isn't assigned any starshell in the ammo_storage section of its sim file.

2. Starshells are not among ammo types selectable by player. This setting could possibly be tweaked, but are you sure that illuminating shells were in U-boats outfits? I doubt it :hmmm:

Many things: :yep:

R.E.M. aims to make sub sensors, and equiments in general, more realistic. Lately, I had a look into it, and I have discovered the method used by Xrundel and TheBeast for attaining this result.

They have added multiple obj_sensor controllers to each sensors, so that, for example, hydrophone ranges vary depending on sub depth, and radar detection ranges are affected by targets' altitude. Unfortunately the same result can't be achieved without resorting to some sort of trick, because obj_sensor's properties are not highly configurable.

R.E.M.'s concept is brilliant, but there are chances that it is not flawless. My suggestin to whiskey111 was inspired by a similar report (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=1781915#post1781915) by Rongel about a "mute" hydrophone using this mod.

Indeed, I hope to be wrong because I really like R.E.M, but should we demonstrate that it is the culprit of the above mentioned problem, I am sure that not rotating nor retracting antennas can be easily addressed with an "ad hoc" mod, not including the various other R.E.M. feaures :know:

[Fifi]

Wow...just readed the REM mod thread, and it looks very interesting!

Wondering if i could add it to my list, the author said REM is compatible with latest UI by TDW (6_5_1), IRAI (0.3.0) and Equipment Upgrades by TheBeast (1.2)...but is it compatible with very latest NewUIs IRAI and Equipment Upgrade?

You should ask TDW on it

Yep, this mod really seems to cause mute hydrophones, too bad because all the functions seem otherwise just great. A patch maybe??

[whiskey111]

I know that R.E.M_by_Xrundel_TheBeast_1.2makes the issue of hydrophone. The question is: is it possible to make it not crashing the hydro sound.

Without this mod the radio antenna is raised on the periscope depth.
Is there any other kind of mod making the radio antenna be retracted ?

Can you confirm it, guys, or it is just your suspect?

I could look into it :hmmm:

Afaik the only other mod dealing with antennas is New UIs. But as I have stated yesterday, tweaking them without side effect should be relatively easy...

[whiskey111]

I can confirm that REM causes the hydro sound problems.

1. When REM installed after IRAI and TDW UI: hydro works on surface down to about 30meters. If I go deeper there is no sound on hydro but sonarmen still gives the positions of ships.

2. When REM is not installed: hydro works OK with mods: TDW UI, IRAI and TDW_No_Hydrophone_On_Surface_No_Aircraft_Spotting_ 1_1_0 (this last mod is not installed during the first test)

Thanks would be good if you could keep up some release discipline for the EUF Uboat FX mod as I just caught out I've messed the config up and needed to update.

Your last increment on the the release number was 0.0.3 yet I see theres numerous changes up to 20/09/12 after that.

Thanks again I'm not trying to be critical just giving some feedback about how incrementing versions and versions control helps the users out to stay current with your latest goodies cheers :yeah:

Hi

So Im working on my modlist and I'm getting a mod enabler warning with your patch 1 (i'm applying 1.4, patch 1 and the patch 1 hotfix) from Steel Vikings Interior mod on the configuration item NSS_Uboat_Senzors.dds

Ive searched around but didnt find any posts on it

Is the source of your revision Steel Vikings or stock?

If stock, would you mind please releasing another version with your changes ontop of the interior mod so that people who commonly use both have both all setup nice please? :subsim:

Cheers

As far as I can see, EUF's version of NSS_Uboat_Senzors.dds is based on Steel Vikings Interior mod. Overwriting the latter should be okay :up:

Sorry I have been out of touch for so long. I am stilwithaveling around in my RV and access to internet is very limited.

I see a lot of questions/statements about R.E.M. in this thread. I've never encountered a Hydro Crash when using R.E.M. .
KDB does not function at all while surfaced by design. The KDB is mounted on the deck near the bow.
At Periscope Depth the range is very limited for all 3 equipment items because of wave and wind noise.
Hydrophone detection range increases as you dive deeper with max detection range obtained when you reach or exceed 60 meters.

Hi TheBeast, glad to hear from you again :salute:

No, the problem was not R.E.M. causing an hydro crash, but rather hydrophone contacts not being audible to the player when a certain depth was trespassed. Being fans of your mod, I and Volodya have looked into why this was happening, and have fixed the problem. The fix, which includes TDW's compatibility patch, was uploaded by Trevally into subsim dowload section: :up:

Yes, that's clear. The fix by me and Volodya, doesn't alter detection ranges set by you and XRundel. In addition, by sober's request, we have made available an "unofficial" version of the fix making all the hydrophones deaf on surface. I hope you are okay with it :)

At the start of the Coastal Waters campaign I'm able to install Bold 1-5 and equip T2 torpedoes. This seems a bit odd if I compare that with the dates of the upgrade chart. Is this working as intended? :hmmm:

I guess the second entry dictates when I can equip a decoy launcher. Everything seems to be in order. What is the entry in Weapons.upc good for?

[Cybermat47]

Expanded Navies by Cybermat47 v.1.0.0


Why haven't you updated to v.1.0.01? You're missing out on a Japanese submarine! :yep:

[Choum]

Is it normal if I upgrade to deck gun 10.5cm, I can see the 10.5cm as my actual deck gun (touch h to see inventory) in bunker, but when I leave the bunker I see the 8.8 deck gun instead), ammunition nulmber seems like the 8.8 one too ?

[a17tares]

I know now what the problem is. Somehow even if UpgradePacks.upc is last in my load order, it will be overwritten directly after I start the game. Unfortunately I have no idea why this is possible.

By the way, why are there two entries named UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1? I would guess the second overwrites the first one. So what is the point? Did sober just forget to delete or comment the second entry or am I missing some vital information here?

[ptrells14]

Thanks for the work

[gap]

Is it normal if I upgrade to deck gun 10.5cm, I can see the 10.5cm as my actual deck gun (touch h to see inventory) in bunker, but when I leave the bunker I see the 8.8 deck gun instead), ammunition nulmber seems like the 8.8 one too ?

the 10.5cm deckgun is a clone of the stok 8.8cm one; they both use the same tooltips and ammunition icons. Changing them should be feasible. I will look into this issue as soon as I will get other stuff that I am currently working on finished:up:

[gap]

I know now what the problem is. Somehow even if UpgradePacks.upc is last in my load order, it will be overwritten directly after I start the game. Unfortunately I have no idea why this is possible.

Probably because you need to start a new campaign after enabling this mod :06: :hmmm:

By the way, why are there two entries named UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1? I would guess the second overwrites the first one. So what is the point? Did sober just forget to delete or comment the second entry or am I missing some vital information here?

Probably only the first Options1 entry is applied, but to be sure I would delete/comment out the redundant string :yep:

[a17tares]

The entries are changed before I reach the game menu and may start a new campaign. And actually the second entry changes the one before (which I find very strange indeed because it shouldn't touch the file). Uncommenting/deleting the non viable string does fix the problem though.

[Choum]

Do you have with UBoat FX ByTheBeast no more water fall from ballast hole (especially front one) ? :hmmm:

[gap]

The entries are changed before I reach the game menu and may start a new campaign.

In this case there are only two possible reasons: you didn't enable this mod correctly, or some other mod overwrites EUF ;)

And actually the second entry changes the one before (which I find very strange indeed because it shouldn't touch the file). Uncommenting/deleting the non viable string does fix the problem though.

Strange why? IntervalOptions have to be in ascending order: 1, 2, 3.... No surprise that shuffling them, or duplicating one of them gives unexpected outcomes :yep:

[VacantName]

At the start of the Coastal Waters campaign I'm able to install Bold 1-5 and equip T2 torpedoes. This seems a bit odd if I compare that with the dates of the upgrade chart. Is this working as intended? :hmmm:


I installed this mod last night (among with a bunch of others, including the patch and hotfix for it) and I too can install a load of stuff way too early. At the very start of the game (Baltic Operations in OH2) I have available:



All torpedoes, I think. Certainly a lot there, including Zaunkonig II which, according to the chart, shouldn't be available until '44
FuMo29 Radar can be installed. Doesn't work, but it can be installed before the war even starts.
4 Flak gun options, including the double-barrel with shield combo (forget the name).
All decoy launchers.
10.5cm DG.
Snorkel
Balkon-Gerat hydrophone (KDB becomes available on return from Poland still).
4 or 5 camouflage options.

And for some reason my boat has the yellow training stripe round the conning tower even though I haven't selected this option :hmmm:

MIke I understand what you have done. The problem is no one else can see what youve done by the standards youve applied to your directory naming. Since you merged those two configuration items without doing something in the name like MERGED it leads other people to make mistakes.

Anyway now that Sober has fixed his and I imagine most people goto Sobers mod list to download them the problem is resolved

Now I realized what I did not explain. When I provided a modlist at various threads, I stated as Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 & hotfix. But NEVER mentioned it here.

Now I can say how my thoughts were affected here as well as work. Things I would never miss since I am so detail oriented. It's not just the getting older thing. :rotfl2:I've had four weeks of bronchitis, and worked 80% of that time and finally is breaking up. :salute::haha::haha::woot::woot: :DMy job is technical but can be physical at times, too.

I understand your points of merging and mistakes. :salute: I love sober's modlist, too. :yeah::up:It is my main reference for mods.

Happy hunting, and fixing things for better immersion and enjoyment.

Gday folks

So Im interested in the EUF and NOZAURIO'S SKIN (Standar No Emblem) v-1.1.0.

Im using Sobers mod list as a general guideline on the correct order. Sober places EUF first then the new uboat skin second. When I do this I get a bunch of mod enabler warnings:

"Conning_7C_01.dds" has already been altered by the "Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1" mod.
"Conning_7C_01_N.dds" has already been altered by the "Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1" mod.
"Conning_7C_02.dds" has already been altered by the "Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1" mod.

"Uboat7_body_N.dds" has already been altered by the "Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1" mod.

So if I try to use EUF with the uboat skin mod am I clobbering a whole bunch of EUF goodness in the process? Thanks

[Mikemike47]

Yes, you are clobbering the goodness in the order described. Same situation as you have asked about with menu.txt. JSGME does not discriminate. Makes no difference if a file is *.dds, *.cfg, *.txt. Any overwrite is an overwrite.

[Bathrone]

Thanks Mike. So are these files important to the EUF mod? What is the functional gameplay impact of doing what others like Sober has done by enabling EUF then the Novaro skin?

[TheBeast]

What is the functional gameplay impact of doing what others like Sober has done by enabling EUF then the Novaro skin?
Enabling Novaro's skin after EUF has no impact on gameplay other then submarine paint sceme.

Regards!
TheBeast

[Bathrone]

Awesome great news :) I will note that for my modlist

EUF is a great mod, thanks very much :salute:

[Choum]

hello,
I have fix all line date in the sober mod (available by date) V9

This fix prevent all equipments from been avalaible to early like bold.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4075

edit : reupload 05/26/13 (11:51am)

Instruction :

first step

If you have unlocked any skin or reward from uplay, bad news, the game will overwrite at each start the "UpgradePacks.upc" file.
2 solution :
overwrite the file UpgradePacks.upc in "Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData" after each start (alt tab and copy)
Prevent Sh5.exe to have any access to internet (with windows firewall for example), ban any incoming and outcoming traffic for sh5.exe.

Second step

If you have already start a campaign and want to correct the date problem, you will need to delete all files(exept RichSavedGames and SaveGames folder) in

C:\Users\YOURSESSION\Documents\SH5\data\cfg

Then start the game,
verify that the UpgradePacks.upc localte in \Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData as not been overwritten by cloud.
Search for UpackUbBold2 and check the line UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1 if you see :
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=NULL,NULL, 1500 -> file has been overwritten by cloud

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=1943-01-01, 1943-05-01, 2000 -> all good.

Start a new campaign (any name) tutorial for example, after loading return to the menu immediatly (the game has recreate all files we remove before in C:\Users\YOURSESSION\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\ with good value.

[Choum]

I just play 2hr withtout sh5.exe having ourcome and income connection block.
No problem.

This prevent the game from overwriting equipment upgrade files without disabling the cloud savegame (if enable in uplay).

[Bathrone]

Wont that prevent campaign missions from progressing? It wont stop the game but the missions arent recognised AFAIK.

[Choum]

I'm not sure, but this is not different if you play "offline" without internet connection,the internet connection requirement at all time has been removed some time ago by ubisoft

The windows firewall rule will not prevent the game to access other process, as the uplay cloud savegame continue to work.

It should be easy to test with the first objectif or total germany.

[Choum]

There's no problem to validate campaign objective if you do not allow internet access to sh5.exe, I just finish one without problem.

[Choum]

the 10.5cm deckgun is a clone of the stok 8.8cm one; they both use the same tooltips and ammunition icons. Changing them should be feasible. I will look into this issue as soon as I will get other stuff that I am currently working on finished:up:

The Improved 2cm Flak 30 should have Magazine size: 30 rounds
In game it only only 20 (I don't know if it's an error in the info text or not)

Like the 10.5 deckgun it have the tooltip of the clone weapon.

[volodya61]

C30 Improved is not a clone..

[Choum]

It's not the same skin, but the caracteristics seems the same.

[volodya61]

It's not the same skin, but the caracteristics seems the same.

I didn't mean skin, I mean they are two completely different GR2 models..
Deck-guns (88mm and 105mm), in opposite, are using the same GR2 model..

[gap]

I didn't mean skin, I mean they are two completely different GR2 models..

:yep:


Deck-guns (88mm and 105mm), in opposite, are using the same GR2 model..

yes, the same GR2 model cloned to represent a different gun. Sim file settings are different, but menu settings and gun camera settings are identical.

[Choum]

Another bug add with patch 1 :

All custom coating for the 7C have incorrect image preview (there all point to the same preview picture number 49) due to incorrect image index in UpgradePacks.upc (probably a bad copy paste).

Alberitch camo for 7B have incorrect image preview.

Camo A (tiger) seems to be avalaible for VIIA type but in the stock game the camo A is only a camo for type B C and 41 (the preview picture is the 7b one) .

This mod need a new Patch/Hotfix :hmm2:

[volodya61]

...This mod need a new Patch/Hotfix :hmm2:

This mod needs a full revision and rework.. (in my experience and opinion..)

[tyguy611]

I only have access to the 10mm deck gun, three light flak guns, and a few others. I am unable to see the heavy flak guns, deck guns, conning tower upgrades etc.... any advice. I have tried it with just this mod, and all patches for it too.

[Choum]

Equipment depend of the uboat type.

[tyguy611]

Equipment depend of the uboat type.

I have played the game all the way until the last missions, is there a way to change the uboat type? As far as i know i have had the same one the whole time.

[V13dweller]

You Are actually changing, but the differences between the VIIA, VIIB, VIIC and VIIC/41 are very minor.

You only get to use the VII's, no IX, no XXI or II.

[Berlorian]

Heya all,
I was just curious as to where the free upgrades went as i had old verion of "upgrades fix"v1.0 with "upgrades available"v1.0 or something like that.

And the upgrades were free and did not cost renown.
unlike now where i upgraded a uboat after saving renown then got new boat and lost all upgrades.

But yeah i liked the fact they were previously all free. as it was more realistic. im sure during ww2 uboat pilots didn't pay for their upgrades or torps.
or is this a mod feature im missing.

[TheNorseWind]

This seems good, i have camos, 10mm deck gun, some new AA guns, torpedoes and a few upgrades, but not all as i can see in the posted image

[makiferol]

Hi, i just installed this but i don't know if it is working for my current campaign. I don't have brown page for u-boat upgrade screen like in the first post. ( gray default screen page ).

i don't have any new upgrades either, this may be due to date being March 1940, not sure. For example, screenshot in the first post has Wintergarden Flak gun and there are 3 options. In my game, it is named rear deck flak gun and there are only 2 options.

Any help is appreciated.

[Laffertytig]

im getting the following error message when loading sh5

#OPEN ERROR:# data/menu/skins/german/gui/upgrade/Periscope.dd'

using the list below ive narrowed it down to 'Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast'



i should add that the game is at version 1.2 and is fully patched using the generic patcher.

ps, i tried unistalling all mods and installing only this one mod. i still get the error. is it incompatible which something the generic patcher has altered. i uninstalled all the patches and the game runs with this mod so it seems to be be an issue with something the patcher has altered. anyone been here before?

my heads tellin me to walk away from sh5 and its modding nightmare and never go near it again at least until someone creates an installer like gwx had.. ive already spent around 4 hours getting to this point and its unlikely to get any easier right.

i would happily pay for it as well, anything to avoid all the BS we have to go through to get this game to a reasonable level.

High all!:salute:

Not back yet but have some time to write a message.

If you have unlocked any Skin or other Reward from U-Play, bad news, the game will overwrite a file at each game start "UpgradePacks.upc".

Possible Solution :
overwrite the file UpgradePacks.upc in "Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData" after each game start (alt tab and copy the file)
-or-
Prevent Sh5.exe to have any access to internet (with windows firewall for example), ban any incoming and outgoing traffic for sh5.exe.

Thank you Choum for reminding me about this...
