Problem on Stock SH3 1.4b flag gun

[wowo668]

Hi folks,
How are you! I'm facing problem during my 14th-15th patrol. I'm using the 'all weather gun' mod, SHIII stock game at v.1.4b
When I upgrade VIIC from VIIB, I found out the flag-gun destroyed. When I upgrade to IXB when transfered to 2th FL. My deck gun can't shot to the merchant ships, but it could fire (with no bullet)!!
Can anybody could advise me how to fix it?

Many thanks :salute::salute:

IIRC the 'All Weather Gun' mod was designed to run with GWX. The issues you are encountering are likely due to its incompatibility with the stock files.

In terms of a 'fix' you'll either have to disable the mod, install GWX, or try to get the same effect by emulating your own version that is compatible with stock. Good luck! :sunny:

^What he said.

All Weather Guns overwrites the .cfg files for the playable u-boats, and the new versions of those files that it gives you may contain entries that work for GWX but not for stock.

But you can make the necessary edits to those same files manually. What the edits are, I don't know by heart but I can check the necessary files at home if you want to go that route.

My mod should work with stock/vanilla SH3....the only changes are to the NSS Submarine files for each U-boat type:

StormConditions=11,0.4;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

The mod was actually tested on stock/vanilla before release.

Is it possible you have other mods enabled?

Jim is right his Mod cant cause the problems you are reporting :nope:
Flak gun destroyed sounds more like a Basic file fault
placing something on a sub without changing the availability
date of that item.
Although a deck gun firing without shooting a shell is something new
sounds like some of your files are corrupt maybe time for a re-install ????? :hmmm:

Dear Frau,

Thank you for your reply. The 'all weather gun mod' is for run OK at my stock game. When play with VIIB, there is no problem. But when upgrade to VIIC & IXB, then I encounter the said problems!!
Is it possible to send me the file as you said? This is my email add : til888hk@hotmail.com

Thanks again !!:yeah:

Hello Jim,
Thank you for your advise too! But if I need to re-install the game, then my 15 patrols should need reply again!! :wah::wah:

It's Jimbuna's mod, and if he says it's compatible with stock then it definitely should be. Sounds like there may be another problem so doing the edits I mentioned manually probably wouldn't help.

Are you running any other mods? Or have you made any manual edits to any of your game files?

Hi, I used with some other mods like top-damage, and the mod for 1 top could kill 1 ship as large as over 34000tons! And the skin mod too.
Do those mod let the problem be?

thanks

M/t. I have not use the GME to enable the mods, just copy & paste mod files to 'data' folder!

It seems for me, you´ve an corrupt installation...! :hmmm:

I think it´s time for a re-install from SH3, and after that please enable MODS ONLY via the MOD-Enabler (JSGME)! ;)

Best regards,

Agreed :yep:

I'm afraid the SH3 game engine can be very 'unforgiving' at times and often does so without any prior warning....best follow the advice from Magic....reinstall and only enable mods via JSGME.

A PITA I know but we have all been there in the past and surely will again in the future.
