TDW's sub flag mod?

[Greendevil303]

I can't get this thing to work :06: Is there a certain way to install it/open it with JSGME?

[Oleander]

They have to be enabled through the eqp file. Read through Wraith's instructions on how to enable them for each sub.

[Greendevil303]

Ok. So I've modified the .eqp file. I assume you copy and paste the modded data lines from the appropriate u-boat file into the appropriate submarine .eqp file and save it, correct?

[V13dweller]

That should be it.
Make sure you enable it while in base.

I guess I must have missed that part lol. Back to base I go! :haha:

[Greendevil303]

I can't get this thing to work. I went in game and my control room was pitch black.
Grrrrrr...

What have you done :06:

[Greendevil303]

What have you done :06:

I think they may have suffered cut backs on military spending? Is there a candlelight or gas lantern mod? :hmmm:

Are you sure you edited the right eqp files? Also, don't just copy and paste, not all of the subs have the flags in the same equipment spot. For instance, the VIIc has them listed in the 14,15 and 16 spots.

Find the line in the NSS_UboatXXX that starts "; Edited by TheDarkWraith" those usually say flags in their name. All you have to do is change the start date to 19380101 in order to have them from the beginning.

I put the data lines in the type VIIA .eqp file and put in the right number sequences. Is this mod to be done before you start a campaign?

I usually restart the game to make sure there aren't any files being cached by the engine. If you put in 19380101 for the flagpole and flag1 as the start date and then save the file, it should work.

[Greendevil303]

Ok, so to be perfectly clear, when I modify the .eqp file on the sub do I remove the instructional text from the equipment lines 11/12/13? Or does everything from "; Edited by TheDarkWraith" down go in the file? I also assume you apply the ";END FILE" line after equipment line 13? Save file, enable MOD folder via JSGME and start game?

This seems relatively easy, just don't know what I'm doing wrong :06:

[Oleander]

Any line that begins with a ";" has been "commented" out, meaning the game engine wont read that particular line.

All you have to do is find this:

[Equipment #]
NodeName=M97
LinkName=Turm_flagstaff
; if no flags are enabled you can disable the flagstaff by setting the start date to 19451230.
; if a flag is enabled then ensure the flagstaff is visible by setting the start date to 19380101
StartDate=19451230
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment #]
NodeName=M98
LinkName=Turm7A_Flag_1
; make the start date equal 1 less then end date to disable flag. For this a start date of 19451230 would disable the flag (this is top flag)
; make the start date equal 19380101 to enable the flag
StartDate=19451230
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment #]
NodeName=M99
LinkName=Turm7A_Flag_2
; make the start date equal 1 less then end date to disable flag. For this a start date of 19451230 would disable the flag (this is bottom flag)
; make the start date equal 19380101 to enable the flag
StartDate=19451230
EndDate=19451231

The lines I've highlighted in yellow are the only ones you need to modify. The equipment numbers aren't the same for all the subs, so don't copy and paste the whole thing into the file. Simply locate the items, do a search by hitting ctrl+f and typing in "flag", then change the start dates to 19380101.

If you're still having trouble with it after this, send me a PM.

[Greendevil303]

Thank you for bearing with me. I feel like an idiot :oops:

I will fix this as soon as I reinstall the game. Now Ubisoft game launcher is being stubborn. Again.

:woot:It's working!! :woot:

Thanks, gents!

What, the candle mod? :D

[Greendevil303]

:haha:

[Oleander]

It worked for the Hunley....for a little while anyway.

[gap]

:haha:

In my own list of the funniest mod names ever conceived here on subsim, your "Candlelight/Gas Lantern Mod" scores high, just below the "Virtual Match Box Mod (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=1850487#post1850487)" and the "Gillette Patch (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1857206&postcount=804)". Yet, my personal favorite is still this guy who inadvertently had a "Mod Soap (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2083951#post2083951)" enabled with JSGME :haha:

Got to :subsim:

Hi Guys
I have looked at TDW's readme and checked the mods eqp file Equipement. It shows 11 & 12 already enabled with 13 disabled in the mod download.
I have enabled the mod last in JSGME but am getting a ctd with it enabled
Any conflicting mods that it needs to be in front of?

I run mine second to last and have no issues. Maybe list your mods and someone can chime in?

FWIW, my last mod is U-Boat Historical Specifications.

It's taken me 3 evenings but I have actually sorted my mod soup out with 73 mods and at last with the Sub flag mod working:)

[InvisibleDeath]

Well you see there is a military sub group called der milche und wasser party. They want to end the Unterboot program but cutting off funding even though Hitler said go. So now you have to just find the option when you dive for 'feel for periscope depth'.

You see when you choose that option you get the youngest kid on the sub pushed through a hole in the bottom of the boat. They count the knots as he floats to the surface and they get a tug from him when he is there. Eventually, when there are 12 knots consumed they level off the boat and pull the kid back in. :yeah:
