Stiebler4C_V16B1 hard-code fix released

[Stiebler]

UPGRADED AGAIN to Stiebler4B_V16B1_Revised.7z (for_Hsie_V16B1 patch).

Small revision to the 4B patch, descibed more fully here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2047163&postcount=142

Following is the original explanation for the 4b Patch:

In view of the feedback that I have received, that it is the CAM-SHIP file in the earlier Stiebler4A_Addon_for_V16B1 patch (and the 3A patch) that can cause CTDs for users of some supermods, I have supplied new detailed documentation with the latest Stiebler4B patch that explains how to avoid this CTD. Just read the instructions file after download.

This is an updated version of my earlier patch Stiebler3B_Addon_for_Hsie_V16B1, with three extra mods and a few minor improvements. It contains a patch for your HSIE V16B1 SH3.exe file. (That is, for a copy of SH3.exe patched with H.sie's V16B1 patch - no substitutes allowed!)

The original patch contained the following:
Silent-Running mod
Surrender mod
Smoke on Horizon mod
CAM-ship mod
Asdic mod
Reduce Ship Warnings mod
Change Patrol Grid mod
Minimum TC mod
Improved BdU Congratulations Fix

Additions: for Patch4A:
Null Grid Mod (Depart with an assigned grid from ports that are not home bases)
Weather Meter (See the current fog-visibility on screen, instead of the Stealth Meter)
Ship Speed Fix (As requested by Hitman - ships slow in strong winds/heavy seas)

Addition: for Patch4B:
Air Torpedo (FIDO) Mod (Aircraft sometimes now drop an acoustic torpedo onto you)

ALSO:
NYGM weather improvement mod updated (self-contained - can be used by players of all super-mods that have the H.sie V1.6B1 patch installed.)

I have slowed down ships quite a lot in heavy winds. Fehler (U 234) made this remark in his biography ("The Warring Seas", A.V. Sellwood, Tandem paperbacks), as his large fat Type XB U-boat crashed on the surface through a strong gale:
"On paper a surfaced U-boat should have no hope at all of outstripping a destroyer. Seventeen knots against thirty-five? The proposition is ridiculous. But [...] in the rough weather we were then encountering the weight of the destroyer would count against her, while the fine lines of the U-boat would carve cleanly through the [sea]. I estimated that the British could make twelve knots, with luck. But, given equal luck, the U-234 would do fourteen [knots]."

Before you do anything else, after downloading this mod package, read the key text file READ_ME_FIRST_Stiebler4B_Patch.txt, which directs you how to proceed.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to make new code mods for SH3 that do not cause collisions with other mods. For example, the Weather Meter contained in this patch will cause odd effects (not CTDs) with just about every mod that alters the GUI of Silent Hunter III. This means that every such mod would have to have an alternative version created if it is to show proper results with the Stiebler4B Patch.

This is not practical, and therefore:
This Stiebler4B patch is only appropriate for users with the knowledge and experience to adjust their own files as they wish (full instructions provided in the documentation). I really cannot recommend this mod to those who claim that they are 'not very good with computers'; or have experienced difficulty with the installation of this patch's predecessor, the Stiebler3B_Patch kit.

Finally, let me emphasise to those who will attempt to make the patch: Start with a fresh copy of SH3.exe, newly patched with H.sie's V16B1 patch-kit (available on this web-page). Do not make any alterations to your new file at all (do NOT use the provided Options Selector at this stage), before you apply the Stiebler4B_Patch kit.
1. Take a legitimate copy of SH3.exe
2. Patch it with H.sie's V161B according to his instructions. Do NOT make any changes to this patched SH3.exe.
3. Use the file SH3.exe created in (2) with the Stiebler4B patch-kit.
4. Now you can use the Options Selector to determine which mods you want ON or OFF.

Great work, and great timing. Weekend sailing Ahoy!:arrgh!:

Kudos mate! :salute:

[Friede Rösing]

Excellents mods, thanks for you work :03:

[Obltn Strand]

Additions: for Patch4A:
Null Grid Mod (Depart with an assigned grid from ports that are not home bases)

Nice. I rename this "No more Kiel canal mod":D

Weather Meter (See the current fog-visibility on screen, instead of the Stealth Meter)

Nice, if I´am able to make it work.

Ship Speed Fix (As requested by Hitman - ships slow in strong winds/heavy seas)

Very nice. Perhaps tailing convoys and avoiding escorts will be easier now.

Thank you very much and have a very pleasant summer.

[LGN1]

Very nice work, Stiebler! :up:

Thanks a lot.

I don't know how much work it is, but would it be possible to provide a SH3Sim.act that contains only the 'Ship Speed Fix' and is compatible with H.Sie's exe file :06:

Regards, LGN1

[Victor Schutze]

Thank you for your good work, Stiebler. :Kaleun_Applaud:

[Stiebler]

@LGN1:
Would it be possible to provide a SH3Sim.act that contains only the 'Ship Speed Fix' and is compatible with H.Sie's exe file :06:Unfortunately the SHip Speed Fix requires also a change to SH3.exe, as well as the main code in SH3Sim.act.

The code in SH3Sim.act is called by all ships, by your U-boat, and by aircraft. Aicraft can be filtered out by their high maximum speed, but the U-boat has much the same maximum speed as corvettes and frigates. There is, of course, no purpose in slowing down the ships AND the U-boat - the ships can then still catch the U-boat. The only way to distinguish a U-boat from a ship in the SH3Sim.act code is to set a flag in the code that calls SH3Sim.act from SH3.exe.

The effect on aircraft is quite interesting too. In tests, it became apparent that heavy bombers had insufficient speed in strong winds in order to complete manoeuvres - they crashed shortly after approaching the U-boat. (Hurricane aircraft had sufficient speed still to maintain altitude.) I thought for a while that perhaps I should leave this effect in the ShipSpeed Fix - Nature's way of telling bomber crews not to fly in strong winds. However, one day I found I had a map screen (F5) view filled with crashed bombers, and it seemed likely that a lot of users would complain! Therefore, the aircraft are also not now affected by strong winds, as well as the U-boat.

Stiebler.

@VonHarris:

First of, remove ALL the long list of mods that you have listed. Retain just your basic GWX installation. (Probably best to make a new reinstallation.)

Then test whether the Hsie V16B1 patch works by itself. If not, then you have not installed it properly. (Install it with JSGME, and also its folder of additional files.)
Once the V16B1 patch works by itself, add the Stiebler4A_Addon patch, again with JSGME and its folder of addons (Stiebler4_Addon_for_V16B1). Test to see if this functions correctly.

Do not add any other mods until you have got this combination working correctly in a normal career patrol.

After that:
1. Remove the Stiebler4A and Hsie V16B1 patches.
2. Add the other mods in batches of four at a time. Then add the additional mod folders for V16B1 and for the Stiebler4A_Addon after each additional batch of 4 files - all mods to be added with JSGME.
3. Test after each batch. Then you will know where the problem lies, and can narrow down the batch of four files to one offending file.

I would guess that probably several of your mods will cause collisions.

Good luck,
Stiebler.

[VONHARRIS]

@ Stiebler

Thank you for your reply. I will do as told!

If I do all that and both H.sie v16B1 patch and the addon are working , can I copy the whole data folder of my current installation to the new or it will cause another CTD?
I hate reinstalling all those things manually once again! :/\\!!
(The H.sie V16B1 patch is working properly for every option I have selected with this list of mods.)

Stiebler,

Is the Hitman GUI NYGM3.6A compatible with the latest release V16B1? Do I have to add the changes of the menu_1024 file in your instructions to the Hitman mod?

Great work, thank you!

[Stiebler]

@VonHarris:
Sorry, but you are going to have to install your mod list in batches.

It is the only safe way. Be sure always to add the folders for Hsie V16B1 and Stieber4A_Addon *last* (and in that order) with JSGME.

@Wilcke:
You will have to make the changes to the Hitman GUI for NYGM 3.6A manually, as described in the instructions. However, it is just a cut-and-paste in the menu_1024_768.ini file.
I can be sure of this, since I use the Hitman GUI too!

@Everyone:
I just noticed that in the file ADD_to_your_en_menu.txt file, I gave the lines:
;; Stiebler Weather Meter
4996=Wetteranzeige

This should, of course, read:
4996=Weather Meter

@Drakkhen20:
4996=Weather Meter
When you hover your mouse over the weather meter icon, the message 'Weather Meter" will now appear.

Rather useless, really, but part of the original system for the Stealth Meter which has now been converted to a weather meter.

[loituma_]

Hello, I installed the patch yesterday and so far everything seems to be working. But if I could ask something: I have the Steam version of SH3, and they made a change so that the SH3 savegame folder is located in the main game directory instead of C/user/document. Apparently after applying the patch the SH3 savegame folder goes back to the latter. Is it possible to make it stay self contained? It's a bit more tidy and more practical for multiple installs, no need to use multish3 with that solution.
Thanks to you and h.sie, fantastic job.

[Stiebler]

Hallo loituma_,

I'm very pleased to see that a newcomer has been able to install H.sie's patch and mine.

Concerning your query:
You say that a Steam-derived copy of SH3 allows game saves to a game folder rather than to C:\user\document.

I had no previous knowledge of that fact.

Neither H.sie's patch nor my Stiebler4a_addon have any *intentional* effect on where game saves are stored. I cannot think of any accidental reason why the game save folder has been changed.

Therefore, I am very sorry, but I regret that I cannot help you with this problem.

[EDIT - Sudden thought: I believe that H.sie's patch removes certain types of game protection from *legal* copies of SH3 (such as that downloaded from Steam). Maybe the patch has also removed the unusual game-save folder that Steam has supplied. Try asking your question in H.sie's 'sticky' thread at the top of the SubSim SH3 Mods page.]

Stiebler.

The original patch contained the following:
Silent-Running mod
Surrender mod
“Smoke on Horizon” mod
CAM-ship mod
Asdic mod
Reduce Ship Warnings mod
Change Patrol Grid mod
Minimum TC mod
Improved BdU Congratulations Fix



It would be useful if there is a short description of the mods (1 sentence each). Or put a hint in the mod-description like "For further mod details see Stiebler4_patch_Docs.pdf"

@LemonA:
Thanks for the suggestion.

[Gammel]

Interesting i'm having the crash problem as @VONHARRIS - must be some mod we have installed in common => Crash when starting Patrol.

Interesting h.sie patch only is working und it's the same Problem i had with
the addon patch the version before.

i'll check out the problem...

EDIT
all i can tell so far: it's not the mods and the problem is NOT related to this addon - it's not working any more even with the h.sie patch only - sorry for blaming stiebler's patch...
I'll have a look further into this and carefully do a step by step installation.
Strange thing is that i was able to install all earlyer versions of addon + patch without trouble and then the trouble begun with the last addon i wasn't able to run any more. Now it's the h.sie patch as well - can you confirm this @VONHARRIS?

[Gammel]

Found it - or at least part of the problem.
It's the scripted layer - something must have gone wrong during merging the subs in...
Textfile looks fine but i did the merge with the editor. Will try by hand.

Without the modified campaign_scr.mis h.sie addon is running - at least to the point the patrol begins.

Unfortunately it dos it not with the stiebleraddon patch, so i have another problem here i guess. But perhaps it just demand the missing scripted layer.

EDIT
still no luck with the addon - however i found those stupid errors in my setup: the failed merging of the subs in the scr layer
and also i found out the renumbering of the menu.ini did went wrong.

The other textfiles seems fine and running with the h.sie only patch.

So im there where i was starting: crash with the stiebler addon - no idea what went wrong. :-(

[Obltn Strand]

Don't shoot the messenger Stiebler but Null grid mod gives a new patrol area every time saved game is loaded.

[vanjast]

Hi Stiebler, I've never seen this before but maybe you can look into this.

I notice that the 3DRender setting in the main.cfg file now sets the maximum TC. AFAIK this setting should not interfere with the TC, but control the crew movement rendering.

The I'm using the V16B1 patch and NYGM plus some other mods. Only NYGM swops the main.cfg file. Maybe it has something to do with Win7.

I'll try swop the MAXIMUM and 3DRender settings.. maybe this'll work :)

edt: Nah! that didn't work - I wonder if it's something to do with the variable offsets, which might have been shifted (up 4 bytes, if Integer values)

I run the game with the H.sie V16B1 patch and the mod list I have posted before with no trouble.
I haven't tried to install any pvevious addons , so I don't know on that.
When the game CTDed after the addon , I uninstalled it with JSGME and ererything came back to normal.

Found it - or at least part of the problem.
It's the scripted layer - something must have gone wrong during merging the subs in...
Textfile looks fine but i did the merge with the editor. Will try by hand.

Without the modified campaign_scr.mis h.sie addon is running - at least to the point the patrol begins.

So im there where i was starting: crash with the stiebler addon - no idea what went wrong. :-(


I haven't touched the campaign_scr.mis file because at that point I haven't activated the Wolfpack mod (the only one not used)

IMO , it might be the AI_Sensors_GWX.dat which has to be renamed to AI_Sensors.dat and used as such with the addon.
In the Library folder of the H.sie V16B1 mod I found a AI_Sensors_WP.dat
file 1KB in size which I can not understand.

At that point I can do any experiments but when my current patrol is finished I will try some!

[Gammel]

Thank you for the feedback @VONHARRIS.
The Problem with the scr-layer file is gone by merging the subs in by hand.
h.sie addon with wolfpacks is running fine.

Still no luck with the stiebler addon, will try one of the other AI_Sensor file
and leave out the weather mod.

AI_Sensors_WP.dat is needed by the wolfpack mod i guess

EDIT
Still no luck here, crash with Offset: 000b9844 maybe someone can tell
where to look...

[Stiebler]

To those reporting problems with installation of the Stiebler4A Addon:
[CTD = Crash to desktop]

It is very likely (from previous experience reported to H.sie and to me) that the problems are caused by incorrect *alteration* or *installation* of existing files.

1. Incorrect Alteration of Files.
The serious difficulties are caused with menu_1024_768.ini, where it is necessary 1) to change a few entries; 2) to *renumber* a large block after the changed entries.

Failure to alter files en(or de)_menu.txt and commands_en(de).txt correctly is unlikely to cause CTDs, although it may cause some mods to function incorrectly.

Incorrect alteration of the campaign_SCR file will certainly cause CTDs. This alteration is necessary for the CAM-ship mod, and a lot of people reported trouble with this with GWX when my older patch Stiebler3A was released (I don't know why). If you restore your original campaign_SCR.mis file, the CAM ship mod will not operate, but you will not get CTDs from this cause either.

2. Incorrect Position of Files.
The other big problem is that of placing files in their correct position in folders. Each new file supplied is intended to overwrite the existing file of the same name. If it doesn't, the new file serves no purpose - and the original file may now cause a CTD.

To change around the different AI_Sensors.dat files will not remove CTDs, although it will alter the way the sensors operate. The AI_Sensors_WP.dat is a small file created by H.sie for the wolf-packs, as guessed previously.

As I stated clearly in the first post of this thread, the Stiebler4A Addon patch is intended only for users who have the skills and experience to make some difficult changes to their installations of SH3. I cannot make a general release, because there are so many other mods out there that also need to be included.

Stiebler.

[Gammel]

thx for your hints @Stiebler.

Finally i got it running :woot:
by switching off the CAMship mod and leaving out all files corresponding with it. It just even crashes with only the presence of the roster entry for the plane.

Incorrect alteration of the campaign_SCR file will certainly cause CTDs. This alteration is necSessary for the CAM-ship mod, and a lot of people reported trouble with this with GWX when my older patch Stiebler3A was released (I don't know why).I did not find anything in the manual about changes in the campaign layer for the CAMship mod. Did i missed something?

Again thanks for your work and support!

[caodwolf]

Steibler; I am now scratching my head. I am able to get both the V16B1 and StieblerV_V16B1 patches to work. I can create a career using both patches either via SH Commander or directly in SHII. However, I can only create an career for 1939 or 1940. If I use a 1941 start date SHIII crashes as career load. If I remove your add on patch I can create a 1941+ career, but with it I cannot .

I am not using the CAM-ship mod but see from the notes here I might have to work it in. I don't have it selected via the options selector though.

I cannot figure out what is going on here. I am very comfortable and able to perform all the steps outlined.

If you have any advice I would surely appreciate it. This is strange and interesting dilemma.

Dave

UPDATE: I removed every reference to the CAM-ship mod from Stiebler4_V16B1 patch and everything works correctly. I can create a career in 1941+. Not sure why this affected the game like this but I am back in business. Dave

[Stiebler]

@Gammel, caodwolf:

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you managed to fix your problems. I'd guess you are using GWX.

The problem with the CAM-ship is probably due to its type:
It is Type=8 (warship) in the Stiebler Addon patch, and also in the NYGM super-mod. (It has to be a warship, or the CAM-ship will not fly off aircraft.)

In GWX, the type is merchant ship (I think it is Type=102, but I don't have a copy to hand). This is defined in the campaign_RND.mis file and also in the Roster\British\M36B.cfg file and also in the Sea\M36B\M36B.cfg files (Or similar, copy not to hand). ALL of these entries need to have their type changed to type=8.

Stiebler.

[Stiebler]

Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 patch released.

This contains one new mod, the Air torpedo (FIDO) which can be dropped by an aircraft onto a submerged U-boat.

For full details, see here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=197122

In view of the feedback that I have received, that it is the CAM-SHIP file in the earlier Stiebler4A_Addon_for_V16B1 patch (and the 3A patch) that causes the CTDs, I have supplied new detailed documentation with the latest Stiebler4B patch that explains how to avoid this CTD. Just read the instructions file after download.

This may tempt many users of other supermods to try again with these Stiebler addons for H.sie's V16B1 patch.

Download the new patch from my logo. Good luck, all installers!

Stiebler.

[sublynx]

Wow Stiebler, I'm at a loss of words :salute::woot::D:up::o:arrgh!::yeah::rock:

This Fido thing sounds really really nasty. I have to try it. Does it really mean that every time after July 1st 1943 that when there is a plane dropping dc's, there is also an acoustic torpedo to avoid??

Historically Fido did not work at lower depths. Is it like this also with your mod? Am I safe if I get to a depth lower than 50 meters?

Do you know if the Germans knew about Fido? And if they did, when did they know about it? Did they know what to do to avoid it?

And damn you Stiebler, I can't get any playing done anymore, since I need to keep modding my game with your addons :arrgh!:

[Obltn Strand]

Dude I'm in big trouble with airplanes and escorts in -41 and now this. Well I do apreciate realism factor, thanks Stiebler.

Finally...

No graphic effects will be seen with this mod, it is entirely computational. You will not see the aircraft dropping a torpedo, you will not see the torpedo in the water, and there will be no visible explosion if it hits its target. My objective has been to improve game-play. Besides, since (by definition) the U-boat is submerged when FIDO is dropped, how can they see external events?

Never use external or event camera anyway.

[Stiebler]

@SubLynx:

This Fido thing sounds really really nasty. I have to try it. Does it really mean that every time after July 1st 1943 that when there is a plane dropping dc's, there is also an acoustic torpedo to avoid??No, only when an aircraft drops depthcharges so close to your submerged U-boat that previously you received the warning 'Depth charges in the water, sir'. This does not happen often.

Historically Fido did not work at lower depths. Is it like this also with your mod? Am I safe if I get to a depth lower than 50 meters?You are not safe when deeper than 50m.

Do you know if the Germans knew about Fido? And if they did, when did they know about it? Did they know what to do to avoid it?A spy in the USA informed the Germans (1944) that an industrial plant was manufacturing acoustic air torpedoes. BdU chose not to believe the report.
If they had taken the report seriously, the U-boat could have deployed a noise-sounding device like a foxer, or even tried to use the bubble-producing Bold device as a decoy. And, of course, the U-boat could submerge slower.

It is strange, though, that BdU never seriously considered that the Allies might be using the same kind of weapon that U-boats were now carrying in their own torpedo tubes - an acoustic homing torpedo.

Conditions to be met to request/receive a change of patrol grid:
b) You must have >50% fuel remaining. It is stupid week I know:doh: but my pretty litte blonde head doesn't seem to get it. Does it mean more than 50% or less than 50%? Currently I have asked new patrol grid after 50% fuel is used up and standard BdU response is insufficent fuel to reach new patrol grid

My new weather meter looked the same with standard gwx install.
At least i had this half yello cloud.
With h.sie ACM GUI it was even more desasterous.

Anyone succeed? Pic or it didnt happened :)
@Stiebler ca you post a picture how it should look like?

[Stiebler]

@ObltStrand:

1. The picture you show looks as if it is due to a confusion of files menu_1024_768.ini.
Remove the Hitman GUI as a temporary measure, and see if that improves things. Then, it should be re-installed AFTER the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 patch. Also download the updated version of the Hitman GUI mod from my logo - I have changed the mod so that it will show the weather effect.

2. "You must have >50% fuel remaining".
Does it mean more than 50% or less than 50%? Currently I have asked new patrol grid after 50% fuel is used up and standard BdU response is insufficent fuel to reach new patrol grid You must have more than 50% of fuel *remaining* in order to be assigned a new patrol area. Therefore BdU's response reported above was correct.

@Gammel:
My new weather meter looked the same with standard gwx install.
At least i had this half yello cloud.
With h.sie ACM GUI it was even more desasterous. ObltStrand's picture posted above your post, with the half-circle yellow cloud is correct. For bad weather, you will obtain two semi-circles of different colours, one filled with colour, one with a hollow centre.

The ACM GUI will need to have the same changes made to it, as you made for your standard menu_1024_768.ini file. However, the numbering system will probably be different. I have no experience of H.sie's ACM GUI.

(You must also have toggled ON the noise meter (stealth meter) when you loaded your patrol at base, otherwise you will not see either the cloud or the Stealth Meter.)

@GWX Players:
I have been testing the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 patch with "GWX 3.0 Gold".
All seems to work perfectly well, PROVIDED that you delete the 'Sea' folder from the folder Stiebler4_Addon\data\Sea before you install the addon folder with JSGME. The 'Sea' folder contains the CAM-ship (M36B), which clashes with the UnitType used in GWX. But GWX has not got the CAM-SHIP scripted into any of the campaign files anyway.

Stiebler.

[Stevetry]

so do i need a previus patch to use this ?

[Stiebler]

@Stevetry:
You MUST have H.sie's V16B1 patch installed (see the sticky threads at the top of the SH3 Mods forum).

However, you do not need any of my previous StieblerX_Addons_for_xyz patches.

Stiebler.

[makman94]

It is strange, though, that BdU never seriously considered that the Allies might be using the same kind of weapon that U-boats were now carrying in their own torpedo tubes - an acoustic homing torpedo.


Maybe BdU thought that the U-boat commanders would notice the acoustic torpedoes - but I guess the ones that did either died or didn't have a clue what happened.

This means that I have to make the difficult choice of keeping my play as close to historical realism - that is not knowing about Fido and probably getting hit with it, or will I somehow know about Fido and then try to avoid it the way a U-boat commander would not have known.

Anyways, I'm glad I now have the option to make that decision :D

Hello, could someone help me please?
I have patched sh.3exe (GWX) to V16B1 and enabled it with JGSME. (I followed instructions to the letter) But when I try to enable the Stiebler 4B_add-on for V16B1 via the JGSME the program informs me, that sh3.exe has been altered by "supplement to V16B1(JGSME) mod". Should I combine supplement and add-on into one folder?
Thanks!

[Stevetry]

I advise against the idea.

Instead, simply install H.sie's 'supplement to V16B1(JGSME)' mod with JSGME - presumably you have done this already.
Then install the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 mod folder after H.sie's folder, ignoring all warnings.

Since you are a user of GWX, be sure to delete the sub-folder Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1\Sea before installation with JSGME. Otherwise you will get a CTD during second-stage loading of the game. (Users of stock SH3, and of other supermods (except NYGM), should probably delete the same folder too.) But this issue is considered in more detail in the Stiebler4b patch instruction-manual.

I hope that helps,
Stiebler.

[Stiebler]

In view of people's problems with some of the more complex instructions of the Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1, I have placed two files (7-zip format) on the NYGM website at SubSim.

1. For NYGM users:
NYGM_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z

Download it here:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/NYGM_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z

This folder (when unzipped) contains the exact installation that I have on my own computer (install it with JSGME after NYGM 3.6B), except the SH3.exe file itself, which you must make yourself for copyright reasons.
Remember to install the mods in the correct order:
a) NYGM 2.5 StandAlone; b) NYGM3_New; c) NYGM3.6B; d) Hsie's folder 'Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)'; e) NYGM_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.
You must add your own patched copy of SH3.exe to item (e) before installation, place it next to the modified envsim.act file.
Don't forget that you must first use H.sie's V16B1 mod to patch your copy of stock SH3.exe, and then patch this new copy of SH3.exe with the Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 patch as described in the patch's instructions. Then add the double-patched SH3.exe to item (e) above.

2. For users of stock SH3 and other supermods.
I suggest that you download NYGM_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z in order to study it, and the way it is put together (including a study of the menu_1024_768.ini file, and the en/de_menu.txt files).
However do NOT attempt to use the unzipped folder in your game! It will definitely cause CTDs!
Remember also that your version of the unzipped folder MUST have the folder NYGM_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1\SEA removed completely.

3. For those users struggling to renumber the menu_1024_768.ini file.
I have placed my SH3Menu_Renumber.exe program for you here:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/SH3Menu_Renumber.7z

This executable has its own instructions with the 7z file.
I have made this available to readers as a favour. The program comes with NO guarantees, except a guarantee that it contains nothing that will harm your computer deliberately, and it will only modify your menu_1024_768.ini file placed in the same folder. If your computer crashes, or your fridge magnets fall off, or your teeth develop cavities, I am not interested, OK?


Well, good luck everyone, again.
Stiebler.

[Stiebler]

@SteverTry:
i am getting blank BDU messages any help on how to fix this ? [Posted in this thread and in H.sie's sticky thread.]

You have not described your problem precisely.
What is a 'blank BDU message'?
Do you mean that you are getting no BdU messages at all now? If so, your problem is that you have placed your en(de)_menu.txt file in the wrong place.

If you mean you are not seeing the new messages from the Stiebler4b patch (or from Hsie's patch), then you are not adding them correctly.

Download the NYGM_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z folder mentioned in my previous post in this thread, unzip it, and study the en_menu.txt (or de_menu.txt) file carefully. In particular, see how it relates to the instructions that I have provided for the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 patch.

Thank you Stiebler for your speedy reply and of course your excellent mod! I have done as you suggested and I have no problems with CTDs. I did remove the Sea and air Folder for the CAM Hurricane, but before I was not exactly ready to ignore the JGSME warnings about altering files between the supplement and the add-on. I cant wait to statr a late war campaign and see how the Fido works! Now I have a minor problem-observation periscope is blurred all the time no matter what (zero or three knots sppeed snorkeling or not)! Any suggestions welcome!
All the best!

@SquareSteelBar:
...Download the NYGM_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z folder mentioned in my previous post in this thread, unzip it, and study the en_menu.txt (or de_menu.txt) file carefully...
Sorry Stiebler but these files are not included... Thanks for the notification, SSB.

The en_menu.txt and de_menu.txt files are instead in the NYGM3.6B mod. I regret that users who want to study these files must download the NYGM3.6B mod from my logo below, unzip it, and look in NYGM3_6B\data\menu for the en/de_menu.txt files.

@Igorlikespike:
The problem you describe with the periscope shake concerns H.sie's V16B1 mod, and indicates a problem somewhere when you added files to his folder 'Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)'. Re-examine this folder carefully.

@SteveTry:
Glad you finally got the patch to work for you.
You can disable the 'Weather Meter' in the Options Selector. Just toggle the option OFF in the 'Stiebler mods' Dialog box.

[Stiebler]

I have now uploaded a typical addon folder (GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1) for GWX3.0 Gold, which I have tested to ensure that it functions correctly.

However, for copyright reasons, it does NOT contain the patched SH3.exe required in order to operate. You must create this yourself.

Download the folder from here:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z

Method:
1. Start with GWX3.
2. Patch your copy of SH3.exe with Hsie's V16B1 patch.
3. Without making ANY changes, then patch your HSIE-SH3.exe with the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 patchkit, following its instructions.
4. Place the double-patched copy of SH3.exe into the folder GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1, next to the new envsim.act file.
5. Install Hsie's folder 'Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)' with
JSGME.
6. Install your unzipped folder GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 (containing your new SH3.exe) with JSGME.

(The CAM-SHIP mod will not function.)
(I have used the 'lite' campaign_SCR.mis file in the GWX folder for testing. The only change is to add H.sie VIIF wolf-pack U-boats as units. If you prefer the original full campaign_SCR.mis, then add the VIIF U-boats to the original file, which you should have done already as part of Hsie's folder 'Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)'.)

This will save a lot of trouble for most GWX users. I am aware that there are many mod variants for GWX, and I have no idea whether this simple addon folder will function correctly with the other extra mods. But at least users of GWX variants now have a template folder to study.

Stiebler.

[Gammel]

everything just works like a charm but may i suggest changing the color of the new weather meter? For me the colors now are quite of unintiutunally.
I'd say nice light blue (good) to even more grey the worser the weather is.
I'll try for myself changing menu_1024_768.ini with help of this webside: http://www.color-hex.com/

Great Mod just tested some of the features in an academy mission.
Some text of the surrender mod is still english i guess it was the response to the final status report and the end game screen - but thats peanuts no worry i can life with it.

edit
Another remark: don't laught at me but it took me till today to find out where the new abandon ship button is located.
I was always looking for it on the message screen - so if anyone else is not so pro like me - it's not there, hahahah

[Gammel]

i played around a little with the colors - also intersting that you can add a seperate "tooltip" for every weather state.
i've modified de.menu.txt with the following:;;Weather meter mod additions by Gammel update MaxStrings on top of file!!
5001=kein Nebel, ausgezeichnete Sicht
5002=leichter Nebel, gute Sicht
5003=moderater Nebel, durchschnittliche Sicht
5004=moderate Nebel, Sturm, durchschnittliche Sicht
5005=dichter Nebel, schlechte Sicht
looks like this, i dont like the color so far, will do more tests. Notice the tooltip when mouseover.

[Stiebler]

That is very interesting feedback, Gammel. Many thanks for it.

I take your point about changing the colours of the 'cloud' (weather meter) to colours that are perhaps more representative. Also your idea (of using en(de)_menu.txt to provide extra tool tips for the weather-meter) is a good one.

Concerning occasional English text in the patched game that does not occur, or is duplicated, in either en_menu.txt or de_menu.txt: This text is hard-coded, and it would be quite complicated to add a separate German version also - it would be necessary to determine in code whether en_menu.txt or de_menu.txt was being used (and what about French users?). Because the text is hard-coded, it is *essential* to spell it correctly where the same text is duplicated in en(de)_menu.txt. Therefore, we have these strange lines in de_menu.txt:
560=U-boat destroyed.
561=U-boat destroyed durch Kollision.
562=U-boat destroyed durch Überdruck.
563=U-boat destroyed durch Wassereinbruch.
The 'U-boat destroyed' is an exact copy of the same text in the code, and must not be changed.

I'm glad you have been able to report success - and to show a picture to prove it. Thanks again,

Stiebler.

[Gammel]

thanks again for hints and explainations @Stiebler.
Yesterday i did an amazing patrol with your and h.ies mod in "full combat mode"
It was great, i did Type IIA in aug 44. :arrgh!:
After crossing the channel on first patrol starting at brest i was bombed and lost my tower.
So i went back to germany for repair and refit.
After that the 1. flotilla was no more.
i was assigned to 7/13 with new patrol grid and tasked later to return to trondheim. Yourmod worked as aspected ->big fun! :/\\k:
i found out you can surwive even with that old boat in 44. It's all about weather, at least a big part...

Further i found out the min time-compression mod to be very handy to me, f.e. when traveling along helgoland on patrol start with meeting many friendly units on the way.
Now no morge a hundred times pressing the tc button to get back to 128x - it just stays there like it was like that always - very useful and calming
You can play relaxed even without much friendly harbour traffic.

A little worry at last - my WO dos not report the range any more - he only gives the direction.
Did you have any idea where i should start looking?
I know h.sie has changed the WO behavior in his mod.
Unfortunately i didnt noticed when this had happened first
and i was pretty shure i installed h.sie mod correct - it'n not that tough than setting upyour mod. :03:

[Stiebler]

@Gammel:

Thanks for the feedback again.

The WO's range is affected by H.sie's mod, as you say.
My patch should have no effect on the WO. Even the Options Selector affects only whether the range is accurate or not - it will not cause the range to disappear completely.

Therefore, it seems likely that you have accidently deleted/modified one of the correct lines in de_menu.txt. For example:
4616=Nächster Sichtkontakt auf Kurs %03.0f, Entfernung %.0f Meter!

[Lindley]

I follow the instructions but I keep getting

[Magic1111]

Hi Stiebler!

I´ve two questions please...:oops:

First question regarding to Surrender/Abandon Option and this from your .pdf Manual:


...
If you have been rescued by U-boat, you may legitimately start a new career, to begin after the date you were sunk at sea, even for the Dead-Is-Dead players.
...


Can you please a little more explain, how to start a new career after I became the message, that I´ve been rescued by a U-Boat?

Let us assume, that I´ve been rescued by an U-Boat ingame Date at e.g. 25.02.1941. Then I start a new career at 01.03.1941 with the same captain name?! But when I do this, I loss my medals and renown from my old career, or? I mean, I start a new career after that I´ve been rescued, but without any medals or renown? Is this so correct?

Or can you please more explain the procedere to start a new career after rescue by an U-Boat please?!

And second question regarding to Weather Meter:

When I use this option, I must before I start a patrol enable the "Stealth-Meter" Option on, that is clear! But this has the effect, that my Realism-Percent-Value goes deeper, when you know what I mean?

E.g. before I enable the Stealth-Meter Option I play with, let us say, 91% Realism, after I enable the Option, the Realism-Percent-Value is only by 89% (or similar, I don´t know exactly).

Is there a solution to fix this? I mean, altough I enable the Option my Realism Value remains at 91%!

Best regards and thx in forward,

Magic:salute:

[Harald_Lange]

3 quick questions:

1. If I patch my exe and add it to the mod folder as instructed in the readme, will that .exe override the main one? I have a desktop shortcut pointing to the 'root' .exe, and I'm wondering which is the correct place to put my .exe file.

2. Instead of editing the command files in the root data/cfg folder, can I duplicate the directory structure inside the mod and put the extended 'Commands_en.cfg' in there instead?

3. Final one:
If I install the stieblers patched exe, do i still need the hsie mod, or does this supercede it?

Thanks, hope these aren't too daft.

[VONHARRIS]

E.g. before I enable the Stealth-Meter Option I play with, let us say, 91% Realism, after I enable the Option, the Realism-Percent-Value is only by 89% (or similar, I don´t know exactly).

Best regards and thx in forward,

I can give you a solution to that :

In Data\cfg folder find the GameplaySettings.cfg file.
Open with notepad
In the last block of the file :
[RealismPercentage]

LimitedCompressedAirRealismPercentage=1
LimitedO2RealismPercentage=6
LimitedFuelRealismPercentage=6
RealisticVulnerabilityRealismPercentage=5
RealisticRepairTimeRealismPercentage=8
RealisticShipSinkingTimeRealismPercentage=2
ManualTargetingSystemRealismPercentage=15
NoMapUpdateRealismPercentage=12
RealisticSensorsRealismPercentage=6
DudTorpedoesRealismPercentage=4
RealisticReloadRealismPercentage=6
NoEventCameraRealismPercentage=3
NoExternalViewRealismPercentage=8
NoStabilizeViewRealismPercentage=5
NoNoiseMeterRealismPercentage=2 <-- change this to 0 and add 2 to any field so that your realism will add up to 91% .
NoWeaponOfficerAssistRealismPercentage=6

Hope that helped.

[Stiebler]

@Magic1111:

After use of 'Surrender Option':
If you are rescued by U-boat, then the rules are that you can start a new patrol, even if you play 'Dead-is-dead'.

It is your choice how you start your new patrol, but in real life it must have been with a new U-boat and a partly new crew.
You can adjust your medal status, and your new crew status, to mimick your earlier career, by altering the crew configuration files after starting your new career.

VonHarris has kindly answered your question already about the weather meter already.

@HaraldLange:
1) Yes. The patched sh3.exe will replace the original. Your shortcut will continue to point to it.
2) Yes. In fact your suggestion is the preferred method. Install the revised files command_en(de).cfg with JSGME as part of the Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 folder.
3) Yes. You *must* first install H.sie's mod.

@Lindly:
Either you are using the wrong version of the Options Selector (use version 1.6a with its associated files HsieContents.txt and StieblerContents.txt).
Or you are are not patching with H.sie's V16B1 patch (maybe with an older version, or have you omitted to use H.sie's patch completely?)

[HEMISENT]

Hi Guys
I posted this question on H'sie's thread and will do the same here.

I have a fresh GWX install and H.sie's patch is working correctly. There are no other mods enabled in JSGME.

Stiebler's Supplement to V16b1 is in the MODS folder and both the messages and campaign_SCR editing have been accomplished.

Per H'sie's instructions I put the patched SH3.exe into the Stiebler's Supplement to V16b1 folder with the 4 dll's

At this point I enable Stiebler's supplent in JSGME.

When I start the game I get a "missing dll's message. (At this time there is no SH3.exe icon in the SH3 folder because it first went to the patch folder then went into Stiebler's folder)

Does anyone have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong? I tried to search both threads but came up blank for this specific problem.

[Gammel]

Per H'sie's instructions I put the patched SH3.exe into the Stiebler's Supplement to V16b1 folder with the 4 dll's
At this point I enable Stiebler's supplent in JSGME.didn't you miss applying the Stiebler patch to the h.sie patched exe before enabling the mod?

To get the Stiebler mod working the exe has to be patched again
(Patch_SH3.bat in "V16B1-Patch-Kit" folder after you've copied the h.sie sh3.exe there.

After that and running the options selector move or copy the now duble-patched sh3.exe into the
"Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)" folder, as well put your modified text files here in the right places.
You have to unpack this folder with 7zip (7zip.org) first.

No copy the folder to your game folder and enable with JSGME
after all other preparations are made:

Check you got the right version of the h.sie patch!
Don't forget to chose, rename and copy the right AISensor.dat to the library folder in "Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)" before enabling the mod.

At last: If you use GWX delete the "sea" folder according to the manual - i removed the roster entry for the CAM Shipmod as well. Deactivate the CAM Ship mod with the options selector.

[Stiebler]

@Hemisent:

As Gammel says above, you must have H.sie's patch installed first with JSGME.
Then you install the Stiebler4_addon folder with JSGME on top of the Hsie patch already present. The Stiebler4_Addon folder must contain its own patched version of SH3.exe, created by patching Hsie's version of SH3.exe.

Furthermore, if your set-up is complaining that four dlls are missing, then clearly you have placed them in the wrong place in the Stiebler4_Addon folder. In fact, it was not necessary to move these dlls from H.sie's original patch folder.

Stiebler.

Gammel and Stiebler
Thanks for replying to this. I'm a bit confused as you make reference to H.sie's patch being activated thru JSGME.

I'm following the patch instructions and nowhere can I find it tell me to insert in JSGME.

1) Patching sh3.exe
a. Create an empty working directory somewhere on your harddisk (where you have write permission.)
b. Download the latest V16_Patch-Kit archive and extract all contained files into that working directory.
c. Copy your original (unpatched) sh3.exe into that working directory. Now, your
sh3.exe and the patcher named Patch_SH3.bat MUST be located in the same folder!
d. Start Patch_SH3.bat. If your sh3.exe is compatible, it will be patched. Otherwise not. Before patching, the patcher automatically makes a backup of your original file called sh3.old. Save sh3.old somewhere for later use, e.g. in case you want to undo the patches.
e. If step d) was successful, your new sh3.exe contains ALL of the fixes!
f. Start HsieOptionsSelector.exe in order to individually enable/disable the fixes as you like. This tool also allows to apply the 4GB-Patch.

At this stage I have a folder named PATCH with the SH3.exe in it, I have activated the patch_sh3.bat file and when I run the game the "1.6B1" designation appears in the lower right corner.

I understand something is going amiss but...

Am I to insert my "PATCH" folder in JSGME and enable it at this time?

Thanks guys

[Gammel]

You should end up with two folders to enable with JSGME:

1. Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME) - h.sie's stuff

2. Stiebler4B_Additional_files_V16B1 - Stiebler's stuff


each containing his patched sh3.exe + the added / modified mod files
Second folder overrides the files of first folder when enabled.

This is h.sie's folder should look:

This is Stieblers folder should look

Thank you sooo much for helping with this.

The first screenshot of yours shows what appears to be Stieblers supplement contents and the second screenshot shows the 4b addon contents. I have the supplement in my JSGME/MODS folder. I have DL'd the 4b addon but it is not being used yet as I wanted to get the game working first.

My folder with H'sie's stuff contains:

As for the "Supplement"
The top item in your list is a data folder whereas the top item in mine is a menu folder. Are there different versions of the supplement or could I have a corrupted DL?

[Gammel]

Cheers HEMISENT!
The first screenshot of yours shows what appears to be Stieblers supplement contents and the second screenshot shows the 4b addon contents.It's vice versa, first it's h.sie's mod read yto go, Stiebler's is second pic.

For better understanding your problem: could you please export and post your modlist in JSGME?
The option is under the link "tasks" in JSGME. You'll get a textfile.
Please post the contains of the file.


Both folders from my pics go to the /silenthunter3/mods folder.
They have to be enabled with JSGM - confirm the files to override (JSGME will ask overriding several files and the sh3.exe from h.sie's supplement folder, that's ok
and shos things are moving good. If theres no override when enabling Stieblers mod something gone wrong.
So the paths in yyour game should be:
.../silenthunter3/mods/Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)
.../silenthunter3/mods/Stiebler4B_Additional_files_V16B1

The top item in your list is a data folder whereas the top item in mine is a menu folder.That cant be right - if you open one of the 2 folders ready for enablling with JSGME theremust be a data folder. The folder "Menu" is beyond it.. ...Silenthunter3/Data/menu.
The "supplement" folders have this data folder from the start, Stiebler's supplement as well as h.sie's. Stieblers mod folger that goes into the mods folder
is named "Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1".
Perhaps is better to start from scratch again: If you unpack the stiebler mod, you'll se sure theres a "Data " folder in it.

My folder with H'sie's stuff contains:

You should have this folder in a TEMP location it has not to be copied into the game.

[HEMISENT]

Hi Gammel
Here's what I have after I unzip hsie's patch, inserted in a temp folder called "hsie patch"and after the SH3.exe has been patched.

http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/2301/hsie.jpg
Here's Stiebler's supplement unzipped into the sh3/MODS folder, the patched SH3.exe from the patch folder inserted in it

http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8098/supplementv16b1.jpg

As you can see, there is a "Menu" folder at the top of the list vs. a Data folder in your example.

Here's the only two activated mods

HSIE PATCH
Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)

When I activated the "supplement mod the Hsie mod greyed out.
These are the steps and in the order which I have done so far.

1. Unzipped Hsie patch to temp folder in Program File/Ubisoft
2. Inserted SH3.exe into Hsie PATCH
3. Click on Patch_SH3.bat
3a. edit en_menu & de_menu & Campaign_SCR as directed
4. Insert Hsie PATCH folder in JSGME
5. Enable Patch
6. Test game. v16b icon shows on rt lower corner/ingame WO immediately
goes to bridge upon surfacing-I am assuming this means Hsie patch is
working.
7. Unzip Supplement to MODS folder
8. Copy/paste SH3.exe icon from Patch folder.
9. Enable Supplement-Patch designation greys out as Supplement mod
overwrites as expected.
10. Test game-starts and runs normally but Supplement does not take.

I am obviously screwing up somewhere but......

Thanks again for the assistance.
Cheers!
H

[Gammel]

Cheers HEMISENT!
Thats not Stiebler's patch on your second screen! :hmmm:
It's the part that goes into the .../Silenthunter3/mods after you copied your own testfiles in there and added the changes according to readme.

Your folder HSIE PATCH has not to bee in the mods folder, it's only a temp folder for patching the exe file.

You have to copy your own textfiles from game folder (Campaign_SCR.mis, Menu_de.txt...) to the supplement folder fron h.sies mod. Then make the addition to them. As well copy the new Sh3.exe here

Then copy the "Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)" to your game mod folder and enable it.
H.sie's patch is now active and hopefully working, estp. the changes to Campingn_scr.mis is a bit tricky. Try a sinle mission to test.

We'll take care of Stieblers' addon later, workflow is nearly the same as it builds up your modified files.

But first has HSIE PATCH folder has to move out of your load order. Look at the files in theres no need to get them into the game. Delete/move this folder out of the game, it's just temp stuff.

On your second Pic i see another problem, the folder "Menu" there has to be in the "Data" folder.

Best delete everything and start over again with the extraction of the files.
Perhaps backup the mod Campaign_scr.mis file first if you have already done the addition of the subs and the renumbering.
Perhaps whe should switch to h.sies thread for now.

If you went into troubles with the textfiles look here:

Hi Stiebler,

Thanks again by this new update of your add on! It is just amazing!

I should like to say few words about the new fido (accoustic torpedo) add on.
I was thinking about it and i guess that it´s possible to change (or just make a new ) a bomb by a "fido" torpedo (i mean: 3d object and its texture) and also adjust it´s "explosion" impact on water to be more like a dropped torpedo hit on water. If all this really works as intend , later we can hook your "fido" routine to this object and them add it to the correct planes. As we already knows, by the hard tries from others modders, the ai torpedo on Sh3 just don´t work, the game don´t have code routines for it ... so, it will be not yet a complete eye candy aerial torpedo neither it will search for the uboat (it will desappear as it hit the water) but with a "fake" torpedo and your code routine we will get very close! :up:

I will look for this when i have some free time, but the idea is open to anyone that want to try it!

Thanks again by your brilliant work!:salute:

Here the easy first step. The big problem is to have a plane that could behaviour like a torpedo bomber... well, this is for later work. Sorry to hijack the thread , but the idea of an ai torpedo is just so much good for sh3!:D

Gammel. thank you!!!!!!



Your folder HSIE PATCH has not to bee in the mods folder, it's only a temp folder for patching the exe file.
this was just something I tried...removed from JSGME.



Then copy the "Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)" to your game mod folder and enable it.
H.sie's patch is now active and hopefully working, estp. the changes to Campingn_scr.mis is a bit tricky. Try a sinle mission to test.

HSIE's patch is working correctly


On your second Pic i see another problem, the folder "Menu" there has to be in the "Data" folder.

Actually, it appears that this was where the problem was all along. I deleted the entire Supplement folder, re dl'd it and unzipped to the MODS folder. Now there is a data folder instead of a menu folder and after all the file editing my setup matches your pic exactly. I enabled it in JSGME and it appears to be working.

Just tried out the wolfpack single mission and the contact report sent out as expected but no reply yet.

[tomo123]

Here's a problem I noticed. Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's me.

SH3 1.4b + GWX + v16b1 ( v16b1 working perfectly, everything enabled, text strings added where needed in en_menu.txt, only two Wolfpack related options disabled )

---

I decided to add Stiebler 4b updates to the mix... just because I need a few new and useful options, like time compression and such.

So, I have SH3 1.4b + GWX + v16b1 + Stiebler 4b ( and yes, everything is done / patched / added correctly and without error ). Everything works as it should. But, one problem. After sending contact reports, I get empty replies. Like, from Bdu to me ... message empty.

I guess there's a bug somewhere with the patching or... If I disable the Bdu improvement, the problem still remains. So, maybe it's the patch.

Can someone check that?

EDIT:

Just completely rolled back to SH3 1.4b + GWX + v16b1 and everything works like it should. Messages and all...

Conclusion:

Can anyone else confirm that after patching with Stiebler 4b you get empty replies for Contact reports sent to Bdu? And sometimes, a few of them, a couple of minutes apart. Also empty.

[tomo123]

Anyone? This is bugging the hell out of me.

Tried again, no dice. Followed the instructions to the letter. Everything is working like it should, TC messages are showing... since I added these lines in my "/data/menu/en_menu.txt" .

;; Stiebler Minimum TC Messages
4997=Minimum Time Compression switched ON (min. 128)
4998=Minimum Time Compression switched OFF
;; end of additional files.

But, BDU replies are broken... Here is a part of my en_menu.txt entries from v16b1 that work ( before patching with 4b ):

; BDU-Messages
;-------------
; General
4835=Only sink hostile ships, you amateur!
4836=Error in transmission! Repeat last message!
4837=Start return! Home base as directed!

; Congratulations for achievement of new tonnage-category
4838=Very good results! ; 20000- 40000t
4839=Congratulations! Excellent results! ; 40000- 60000t
4840=Germany salutes you and your crew! ; 60000- 80000t
4841=That is worth an award! ; 80000-100000t
4842=Congratulations - new wearer of the Knight's Cross! ; > 100000t

; For sinking >15000t
4843=Great work! That will hurt the enemy!
4844=Bravo! Excellent shooting!

; For sinking >10000t
4845=Very good work! A decisive blow!
4846=Bravo! But next time near enemy destroyers!

; For sinking >2000t
4847=Nice work! Carry on!
4848=Good work! Continue search for single ships.
4849=Well done! Keep at it!
4850=Sinking registered. Report any survivors immediately!

; Occasional communications
4851=Message received. Continue as ordered!
4852=Signal received.
4853=Short-signal received. Expect next status- and weather- news in 24h.
4854=Signal acknowledged. Stay alert.
4855=Message acknowledged. We have high expectations!
4856=Message received. Beware of aircraft!
4857=Message acknowledged. All further transmissions on long-wave 20.4kHz.
4858=Signal acknowledged. Use short-wave until further notice.

; For motivation
4859=Be more aggressive! We need better results!
4860=Show more courage! Charge at the enemy!
4861=You can***8217;t come home with fully-loaded torpedo-tubes!
4862=Attack! Shoot! Sink!

After adding Stiebler's 4b patch, no replies from BDU ( I guess 4854 to 4857, did not test further ). But, Minimum TC Messages work.

[Friede Rösing]

Anyone? This is bugging the hell out of me.



Perhaps Stiebler answer better, but i think "stiebler V16B1 Addon" work very good with NYGM, i have played many camping with this configuration and never had a problem.... but i try install in another super mods and it not working good....

[tomo123]

Thanks for your time.

Main problem, one that's giving me the $hits, is that everything I add via Stiebler's excellent 4b addon works, except BDU response messages. Even when I remove BDU improvement option, replies remain empty.

I could do without them, but...

[Stiebler]

@Tomo123:

The reason you are not seeing contact reports is because you have not got them in your en_menu.txt file.

Lines 4863 - 4892, supplied with H.sie's mod, are all missing from the list you have shown above.

This is nothing to do with my Stiebler4A patch kit. (Although you seem not to have added some of the lines from my patch kit at values >4892 either.)

I hope that helps.

Stiebler.

[tomo123]

In my post above, I pasted only the part concerning BDU, but here's my entire en_menu.txt for you to peruse and, if you don't mind, tell me where the problem lies.


I think you misunderstood - BDU replies to sent contact reports are still empty. No acknowledgment.

And these are additional options added by 4B:

Minimum TC fix
BdU message improvement
Null Grid Fix


... I don't need any others. These three are worth your 4B patch, atleast for me :)

265=The war on the surface and beneath the waves grinds on. U-boat successes are falling away while losses mount. Simply returning from patrol alive is cause for celebration.
266=The Battle of the Atlantic continues to be desperately grim for our U-Boats. Our only chance lies in new technology. The new electro-boat is the last hope of the Kriegsmarine.

270=1st Flotilla was founded in September 1935 under the command of Fregattenkapitän Karl Dönitz, who went on to become BdU, Kriegsmarine commander-in-chief, and finally Reichspräsident. The flotilla's operational base was Kiel, Germany at the start of the war and shifted to Brest, France in June 1941. The flotilla disbanded in September 1944. The 1st Flotilla used small coastal Type II boats initially, then later switched to the larger Type VII.
271=2nd Flotilla was founded in September 1936 under the command of Fregattenkapitän Werner Scheer. The flotilla operated from Kiel and Wilhelmshaven, Germany at the beginning of the war, but moved to Lorient, France starting in June 1940. It disbanded in August 1944 when its last U-boats left Lorient for Norway. The 2nd Flotilla used Type VII and Type IX boats.
272=7th Flotilla was founded in June 1938 under the command of Korvettenkapitän Ernst Sobe. It operated from Kiel, Germany, at the start of the war and moved to St. Nazaire, France in 1940 where it disbanded in September 1944. Its boats fled to Norway and a number joined the reorganized 13th Flotilla at Trondheim under Korvettenkapitän Rolf Rüggeberg, where they operated until the war's end. The 7th and 13th Flotillas used mainly Type VII boats.
273=10th Flotilla was founded in January 1942 under the command of Kapitänleutnant Günther Kuhnke with its operational base at Lorient, France. In July 1943, boats sailed to Penang, Netherlands East Indies (NEI) and operated throughout the Indian Ocean, with brief forays into the Pacific. The boats transferred to Jakarta, NEI in November 1944 and remained there until Germany's surrender. Forty Type IX U-boats were sent to the Indian Ocean.
274=11th Flotilla was founded in May 1942 under the command of Fregattenkapitän Hans Cohausz at Bergen, Norway. The flotilla operated primarily in the North Sea and against the PQ-convoys until the Germany surrendered. 11th Flotilla used Type VII U-boats, but the first XXI boats were attached to this flotilla.
275=23rd Flotilla was founded in September 1941 under the command of Kapitänleutnant Fritz Frauenheim at Salamis, Greece, with the eastern Mediterranean Sea as its operational area. Its boats were attached to the 29th Flotilla at La Spezia in May 1942, under the overall command of Kapitänleutnant Frauenheim. The Flotilla transferred to Toulon in August 1943 and disbanded there in September 1944. The 23rd and 29th Flotillas used Type VII U-boats exclusively.
276=12th Flotilla was founded in October 1942 under the command of Korvettenkapitän Klaus Scholz with its operational base in Bordeaux, France. The Flotilla operated in the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean until it disbanded in August 1944, when most of the boats left for Flensburg, Germany. Most of the long-range type IXC and IXD boats were attached to the 12th Flotilla.
277=30th Flotilla was founded in October 1942 under the command of Kapitänleutnant Helmut Rosenbaum in Constanza, Romania, and operated in the Black Sea until it disbanded in September 1944. 33rd Flotilla was founded in September 1944 under the command of Korvettenkapitän Georg Schewe in Flensburg, Germany and disbanded in May 1945. The 30th Flotilla uses Type II U-boats. The 33rd Flotilla uses Type VII and Type IX U-boats.

622=T I (G7a)||Propulsion: gas/steam|Speed: 44-40-30 knots|Range: 5-7.5-12.5km|Guidance: Straight run|Notes: One of two pre-war issue torpedoes (the other is the T II), it has the disadvantage of leaving a visible trail of bubbles on the surface on its way to the target.
623=T I FAT I (G7a)||Propulsion: gas/steam|Speed: 44-40-30 knots|Range: 5-7.5-12.5km|Guidance: Ladder pattern|Notes: The FAT I should be launched from the side of a convoy: if the torpedo missed on its initial run it can reverse course and try again, repeating until it hits a target or runs out of fuel.
624=T II (G7e)||Propulsion: electric|Speed: 30knots|Range: 5km|Guidance: Straight run|Notes: One of two pre-war torpedoes (the other is the T I), it has severe depth-keeping and fusing problems. Depth-keeping was fixed after Operation Weserübung, but the problems with the T II magnetic influence fuse were never solved.
625=T III (G7e)||Propulsion: electric|Speed: 30knots|Range: 5km|Guidance: Straight run|Notes: This torpedo had a new magnetic influence fuse that replaced the unsuccessful magnetic influence fuse used in the T II.
626=T III FAT II (G7e)||Propulsion: electric|Speed: 30knots|Range: 5km|Guidance: Ladder pattern|Notes: The FAT II is the electric counterpart to the air-driven FAT I. It is launched from the side of a convoy: if the torpedo misses on its initial run it can reverse course and try again, repeating until it hits a target or runs out of fuel.
627=T IV "Falke" (G7es)||Propulsion: electric|Speed: 20knots|Range: 7,5km|Guidance: Passive acoustic homing|Notes: Falke, the first homing torpedo, is fitted with a passive acoustic homing device but it does not have a magnetic influence fuse.|Specification: Target speed must be at least 12 knots.
628=T V "Zaunkönig" (G7es)||Propulsion: electric|Speed: 24knots|Range: 5,7km|Guidance: Passive acoustic homing|Notes: Zaunkönig is more sensitive than Falke, and will home on the loudest noise (including a U-boat) that it detects after an initial run of 400m from launch. It has a magnetic influence fuse the T IV lacks.|Specification: Target speed must be at least 10 knots.
629=T I LuT I (G7a)||Propulsion: gas/steam|Speed: 44-40-30 knots|Range: 5-7.5-12.5km|Guidance: Advanced pattern|Notes: The LuT, or angle-independent torpedo, gave the U-boat commander greater flexibility in positioning and maneuvering the U-boat for a torpedo attack than did the FAT I.
630=T III LuT II (G7e)||Propulsion: electric|Speed: 30knots|Range: 5km|Guidance: Advanced pattern|Notes: The LuT II is the electric counterpart to the air-driven LuT I. It gave the U-boat commander greater flexibility in positioning and maneuvering the U-boat for a torpedo attack than did the FAT II.
631=T XI "Zaunkönig II" (G7es)||Propulsion: electric|Speed: 24knots|Range: 5,7km|Guidance: Passive acoustic homing|Notes: An improved acoustc homing torpedo that is less-affected by Foxer decoys than Zaunkönig.

1500=Alberich||One of the responses to Allied sonar was to reduce the U-boats acoustic signature by use of a sound-absorbing material to coat the hull. It was hoped this would both contain the U-boats' own noise and also reduce the reflected component of the hostile sonar.

1501=Alberich improved||One of the responses to Allied sonar was to reduce the U-boats acoustic signature by use of a sound-absorbing material to coat the hull. It was hoped this would both contain the U-boats' own noise and also reduce the reflected component of the hostile sonar.

1502=Tarnmatte||Tarnmatte was a compound of synthetic rubber and iron oxide powder which was used to coat snorkel heads to shield them from the Allied radar.

1560=GW Kapselgebläse||Each U-boat engine manufacturer used a different supercharging method to raise the maximum diesel engine power. Germaniawerft engines uses a geared supercharger driven from the engine's main drive shaft.

1561=MAN Buchigebläse||Each U-boat engine manufacturer used a different supercharging method to raise the maximum diesel engine power. Maschinenfabrik-Augsburg-Nürnberg used an exhaust-driven device.

1562=Snorkel||The Snorkel ("schnorchel") was a device that enabled U-boats to run their air-breathing diesel engines for propulsion and to recharge their batteries while running underwater.

1563=AFA 36 MAK 580||The standard type of batteries fitted on Type II U-boats.

1564=AFA 44 MAL 570||These improved batteries for the Type II increased the U-boat's underwater range.

1565=AFA 27 MAK 740||The standard batteries fitted on Type VII U-boats.

1566=AFA 27 MAK 800||These improved batteries for Type VII U-boats have shorter recharge times.

1567=AFA 33 MAL 800||These improved batteries for Type VII U-boats increase the U-boat's underwater range.

1568=AFA 36 MAK 740||The standard batteries fitted in all Type IX U-boats.

1569=AFA 44 MAL 740||The second generation of batteries for Type IX U-boats, and the only batteries used on the Type XXI U-boats. These batteries improved the U-boat's underwater range.

1570=GHG (Gruppenhorchgerät)||The GHG, which was installed in U-boats from 1935 onwards, consisted of two groups of hydrophones mounted near the forward hydroplanes, covering an arc of 140 degrees on each side of the U-boat. Single ships could be detected at about 20km under favorable conditions.

1571=KDB (Kristalldrehbasisgerät)||The KDB was introduced in an effort to improve on the performance of the GHG. The KDB was located on the upper casing and could be rotated from within the U-boat, covering an arc of 160 degrees on each side of the bow. It main disadvantage was its extreme vulnerablity to damage from depth-charges.

1572=Balkongerät||The Balkongerät was an improved version of GHG, with 48 hydrophone receivers mounted at the forward end of the keel. This gave a major improvement in performance compared to the GHG, and covered an arc of 170 degrees on each side of the bow.

1573=S-Gerät||The S-Gerät was an active sonar, transmitting pulses and using the received echoes to locate underwater objects. It covered an arc of 120 degrees on each side of the bow, with an estimated range of 4,000m against surface vessels. The pulses made it easy for an enemy to detect the U-boat.

1574=Nibelung||The Nibelung was an improved type of active sonar device, capable of locating the position and approximate the speed of a target. Originally intended for the Type VIIC/42, it was eventually installed on the forward edge of the bridge of the Type XXI, preventing its use astern. It covered an arc of 140 degrees on each side of the bow.

1575=FuMO-29 "GEMA"||The first U-boat radar, which the crews knew as "GEMA," was converted from radars originally fitted in surface ships: its antenna array was fixed around the front of the conning tower, covering an arc of about 10 degrees on each side of the bow. Coverage was shifted by altering course - a full sweep of the horizon required the U-boat to turn a full circle.

1576=FuMO-30 "GEMA II"||The same radar transmitter as the FuMO-29, but with an antenna that could rotate through 360 degrees. The crew had to mount the antenna on the bridge upon surfacing, and stow it again before diving. U-boat crews knew it as "GEMA II."

1577=FuMO-61 "Hohentwiel-U"||This radar operated at a slightly higher frequency than the FuMO-29/30 radars it replaced, and was adapted for use by U-boats from the Luftwaffe's FuMG-200 air-sea search radar. Its antenna could rotate through 360 degrees and was mounted on the bridge, retracting into an oblong housing when the U-boat submerged.

1578=FuMO-65 "Hohentwiel Drauf"||The same radar transmitter as the FuMO-61, but with a Plan Position Indicator (PPI) scope for the radar operator. It was installed only in Type XXI boats.

1580=FuMB-1 "Metox"||The FuMB-1 radar warning receiver was fitted from 1942 onwards.

1581=FuMB-10 "Borkum"||The Borkum RWR covered the frequency band between 3 to 0.75 meters.

1582=FuMB-7 "Naxos"||The Naxos RWR covered the 9-12cm band.

1583=FuMB-26 "Tunis"||FuMB-26 was intended to counter the new 3cm radar, known to the Germans as 'Meddo'.

1534=FuMB-29 "Bali" Antenna||This circular dipole antenna was placed on top of the snorkel so it could provide radar warnings when the U-boat was snorkeling.||Important GWX Notes:||Users should not select this device. The sensor is automatically fitted to the U-boat once the optional 'Late War Snorkel Sensors' Mod is enabled via JSGME while in base.

1535=FuMB-29 "Bali" Antenna||This circular dipole antenna was placed on top of the snorkel so it could provide radar warnings when the U-boat was snorkeling.||Important GWX Notes:||Users should not select this device. The sensor is automatically fitted to the U-boat once the optional 'Late War Snorkel Sensors' Mod is enabled via JSGME while in base.

1536=FuMB-29 "Bali" Antenna||This circular dipole antenna was placed on top of the snorkel so it could provide radar warnings when the U-boat was snorkeling.||Important GWX Notes:||Users should not select this device. The sensor is automatically fitted to the U-boat once the optional 'Late War Snorkel Sensors' Mod is enabled via JSGME while in base.

1579=FuMB-37 "Leros" Antenna||The FuMB-37 was developed for use mainly for the Type XXI. A circular dipole antenna was placed atop the snorkel, providing radar warnings when the U-boat was snorkeling.||Important GWX Note:||Users should not select this device, as it will be automatically fitted to the U-boat.

1584=Bold 1||Bold was a metal can containing calcium hydride, which reacted with seawater to create a cloud of hydrogen gas bubbles. The bubble cloud from Bold 1 could confuse Allied sonar operators by presenting a false sonar target for a period of 3-5 minutes, thus allowing the U-boat to escape.

1585=Bold 2||Bold was a metal can containing calcium hydride, which reacted with seawater to create a cloud of hydrogen gas bubbles. The bubble cloud from Bold 2 could confuse Allied sonar operators by presenting a false sonar target for a period of 5-8 minutes, thus allowing the U-boat to escape.

1586=Bold 3||Bold was a metal can containing calcium hydride, which reacted with seawater to create a cloud of hydrogen gas bubbles. The bubble cloud from Bold 3 could confuse Allied sonar operators by presenting a false sonar target for a period of 8-10 minutes, thus allowing the U-boat to escape.

1587=Bold 4||Bold was a metal can containing calcium hydride, which reacted with seawater to create a cloud of hydrogen gas bubbles. The bubble cloud from Bold 4 could confuse Allied sonar operators by presenting a false sonar target for a period of 10-12 minutes, thus allowing the U-boat to escape.

1588=Bold 5||Bold was a metal can containing calcium hydride, which reacted with seawater to create a cloud of hydrogen gas bubbles. The bubble cloud from Bold 5 could confuse Allied sonar operators by presenting a false sonar target for a period of 12-15 minutes, thus allowing the U-boat to escape.

2340=Batteries capacity affects the u-boat's underwater endurance and severely restricts its mobility during combat.
2341=Compressed air is needed to change depth without using your engines and to blow ballast in emergency situations.
2342=Running out of Oxygen - when staying underwater too long - will fatigue your crew and ultimately lead to their death.
2343=Fuel is needed to power the diesel engines, which are the uboat's long distance mean of propulsion.
2344=Damage taken by the submarine will be more severe.
2345=Increase systems repair times to more realistic values.
2346=The time it takes for a ship to sink is increased. This will make judging inflicted damage levels more difficult.
2347=Only allow manual data gathering mode for torpedo attacks.
2348=Disable "god's eye mode" for the navigation map.
2349=Reduce uboat's sensors detection radius and efficiency.
2350=Increase torpedo malfunction probability to historical values.
2351=Use historical loading times for the torpedoes. This will degrade your ability to conduct multiple attacks during one engagement.
2352=Disable the Picture in Picture view showing important events in the area.
2353=Restrict usage of external camera. Only camera modes that are connected to the u-boat will be available.
2354=Disabling camera stabilization will make aiming and observing targets difficult in rough seas.
2355=The noise meter provides a simple visual gauge of how detectable the uboat is at a given moment.
2356=Disable target identification and torpedo solution made by weapon officer.

Is there anything in 4A that's missing from 4B. Does one need to install 4A, then update it to 4B?

And these are the contents from your 4B ADD_to_your_en_menu.txt file:

-----

IMPORTANT (1) - You must *also change* the existing contents of the en_menu.txt file entries to the texts show below:

566=Scuttling charges set! 10 minutes to abandon boat! Set U-boat to crash-dive!
2905=Abandon U-boat!
4809=Prepare to abandon U-boat!
4810=Prepare to abandon U-boat!

IMPORTANT (2) - It is **ESSENTIAL** to retain the English phrase "U-boat destroyed".
Required for Stiebler 'Surrender' hard-code patch.
Check entries 560, 561, 562 and 563 to ensure that all are present and that the phrase 'U-boat destroyed' in each line is spelled EXACTLY as shown.
Note the lower-case 'b' in U-boat!!

560=U-boat destroyed.
561=U-boat destroyed by collision.
562=U-boat destroyed by pressure.
563=U-boat destroyed by flooding.

[Stiebler]

@Tomo123:
Sorry, but I cannot possibly read through all the lines of your en_menu.txt file. What if everyone asked me to do the same? I don't have the time.

However, there is an easy solution to your problem:
Determine which contact messages you believe you should be receiving, and which are now missing.

You must have two en_menu.txt files, one which gives the contact reports, and one which does not. Search through the file which does give you the contact reports for the correct text messages, in order to discover their entry numbers in en_menu.txt. Then look for the same entry numbers in the other file en_menu.txt, the one which is not giving you the contact reports. If they are missing, or wrongly labelled, then you have discovered the problem.

Stiebler.

[tomo123]

That's the problem. They're all in there.

After many retries ( where I am 100 percent sure I know what I'm doing - and I ve done it right ), I decided that I shall go back to SH3+GWX+HSIE16B1, without the Stiebler 4B patch.

There is something in your patch that breaks BDU messages, at least for me. I don't know what that is, but it does.

Yes, I am following your instructions to the letter:

1. Take a legitimate copy of SH3.exe
2. Patch it with H.sie's V161B according to his instructions. Do NOT make any changes to this patched SH3.exe.
3. Use the file SH3.exe created in (2) with the Stiebler4B patch-kit.
4. Now you can use the Options Selector to determine which mods you want ON or OFF.

Other than that, I don't know what to say.

These messages ( that I had time to test ) don't show in BDU replies ( BDU sends empty responses ), but they are in my .txt file:

4851=Message received. Continue as ordered!
4852=Signal received.
4853=Short-signal received. Expect next status- and weather- news in 24h.
4854=Signal acknowledged. Stay alert.
4855=Message acknowledged. We have high expectations!
4856=Message received. Beware of aircraft!
4857=Message acknowledged. All further transmissions on long-wave 20.4kHz.
4858=Signal acknowledged. Use short-wave until further notice.
4859=Be more aggressive! We need better results!
4860=Show more courage! Charge at the enemy!
4861=You can't come home with fully-loaded torpedo-tubes!
4862=Attack! Shoot! Sink!

And after I receive one empty message, that empty message keeps repeating over and over, one minute after another.

The thing is, even if I select only one option in your patcher ( like Minimum TC fix ) it still breaks my messages in game...

Don't misunderstand me. If it works for you guys, then do use it. I like it too, but because of that problem, I'll roll back to my original mod mix.

Keep on the good work.

[J0313]

If you use SH3 Commander, I wonder if the Null Grid fix interferes with it or vice versa.

[Stiebler]

@JO313:
The Null grid mod functions only if the code detects that no grid has been assigned to the U-boat, when at base.

SH3Commander cannot alter NULL grids, therefore it makes no difference whether you use it or not. (My patch operates only while the new patrol is being loaded in port.)

Stiebler.

I planned to just rename it "Ai_Sensors" and put it in Data\Library then enable with JSGME. Have you already made the necessary adjustements to this file to work with GWX gold or do i still need to edit the file with an Hex?

[Stiebler]

@will_rommel:

You are correct. Just rename it from AI_sensors_GWX.dat to AI_sensors.dat, and place it in your library folder provided with the patch. Then enable it with JSGME.

Stiebler.

[VONHARRIS]

I am proud to announce that I did it!

Installed both Hsie V16B1 realism patch AND Stiebler's V16b1 addon and they both work fine.

The whole procedure was done under Win7 Ultimate 64bit , 4 GB RAM with no trouble at all.

I would like to thank both Hsie and Stiebler for their great job! :up::salute:

@Von Harris:

Good work. Well done!

Stiebler.

Dear Stiebler, I have a question:

I see in the Stiebler´s mod files, the "AI Sensors for GWX". I use MEP v3 environment, a 20k atmosphere.

Question: Is there some colateral effects overwriting the sensors.dat of MEP 20k with your file?

Many thanks for the great mod! All functions works properly in my SH3 GWX installation, including the CAM Ship.

Regards.

I, too, would like to thank both Hsie and Stiebler for their great job! It took a little work (and not much of that) to install both, but the results are well worth it!

I did, and do, have two little problems. For some reason the CAM mod kept CTD, so I deactivated that one and undid the manual required changes. No biggie. But the minimum TC mod is kicking my butt. Pressing "Shift+N" does absolutely nothing. :(

Other than these two minor quirks, these are excellent additions! :up::yep::salute:

~Albrecht von Hesse

edit: OK, I managed to correct the minimum TC problem (most likely a combination of operator error and lack of coffee :oops:). I'm still not sure what's up with the CAM mod, but now I have found two small things regarding the U-boat surrender mod (see below). One is that the new buttons don't seem to fit, and the other is the pop-up message for the "abandon U-boat" choice still says "Report contacts". :doh:

Otherwise, these are superb additions to things! Great work!

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

That's good to know. I just don't recall seeing anything in the documentation stating that a particular GUI was required in order to have radio messages properly display. I'll have to, more carefully, re-read the documentation, as I'm finding out that I do miss seeing the various and sundry radio messages.

edit: I've run across another, additional 'quirk'. I have not activated the "Change Patrol Grid" mod, nor have I made any of the required editing changes necessary should I have done so. Yet, for some reason, after I've finished patrolling my originally-assigned area I start getting pop-up dialog boxes (which have no messages, nor do the accompanying radio messages have anything to them) which are blank (as usual) save for a grid zone displayed at the top (see below image). Lo and behold, if I them check my orders, I now am assigned to that grid location!

I've no idea why this is happening when I've expressly omitted activating the "Change patrol Grid" mod.

Little help, please?

[Stiebler]

These are the instructions you need for the 'Change Grid Mod" - taken from the documentation in the patch:

4. In order to introduce the new button, it is necessary to make the following changes:
a) Create a new entry [G3F I210] in your menu_1024_768.ini file, in the radio-man group, as shown below. IMPORTANT-1: if your ‘RO Report’ is not numbered [G3F I209], then the new grid button must be given the next consecutive number to your ‘RO Report’ value. GWX appears to have the same values as those shown below for NYGM.
b) Change the POS value in the existing entry [G3F I215] where shown in RED below.
IMPORTANT-2: It is then necessary to renumber ALL the successive entries for group G3F. You can do this manually, or use a renumbering tool, such as that of H.sie.

[G3F I209]
Name=RO Report

2923=New patrol grid XXXX assigned. Good luck!
2924=Request Denied. Insufficient fuel for new patrol grid.

d) Add the following command in the correct position in file commands_en/de.cfg:
;;NYGM 3.6A
[Cmd455]

IMPORTANT-3: Check to ensure that there is no other command with value [Cmd455]. If there is, use another UNIQUE command value. (GWX users can use Cmd455.)

************************

Those who are not seeing the Change Grid radio messages have doubtless not entered the new entries correctly to the their en/de_menu.txt file;
OR they have made the changes correctly, but a subsequent mod is over-writing the en/de_menu.txt file.
Alternatively, of course, other necessary files (commands_en/de.cfg and/or menu_1024_768.ini) are being overwritten by mods that you are installing after the Stiebler patch.

Get the basics right before you add further mods to the original, patched SH3.exe file.

@Albrecht von Hesse:

What happens if you tick ON the Change Grid Mod?
Why are so many of the other Stiebler mods switched off - are you having difficulty with them too?

Have you tried what happens with the simple patched (H.sie + Stiebler) game without any other mods added before of after the patch?

Stiebler.

[VONHARRIS]

@Stiebler

I have your Addon installed V16 and I just saw on Albrecht Von Hesse's screenshots the Fido torpedo.
I would like know if I have to do a new install or is there anyway to implement this new asset in V16?
Thank you.

[Stiebler]

@VonHarris:

It seems that you have the older Stiebler4A_V16B1_Addon.7z patch.

You need the newer Stiebler4B_V16B1_Addon.7z patch.

Download by clicking on the NYGM logo, below. You will, of course, have to re-patch your copy of SH3.exe already patched with H.sie's latest patch.

**Do not attempt to patch your existing copy of SH3.exe already patched with the Stiebler 4A version.**

Stiebler,


Thanks for replying so quickly. I apologize for my delay in responding, but I wanted to assure I would be providing the most accurate information I could, and since my mental faculties weren't cooperating –::shrugs; an ongoing problem-- this took longer than I expected.



What happens if you tick ON the Change Grid Mod?

Honestly, I don't know. As you'll see below, I never managed to figure out how to accurately edit menu_1024_768.ini file.


Why are so many of the other Stiebler mods switched off - are you having difficulty with them too?

Yes, and no. I'll go through each option, one by one:



CAM-ship Mod: Although I hadn't seen where the CAM-ship mod was something I needed to utilize, I'd done so anyway. I'm not sure where I screwed things up, but having this activated with the required edits (as documented on page 4 of Stiebler4B_patch_Docs.pdf) caused the game to CTD during loading a career. It's entirely possible –indeed, virtually assured, what with my mentation difficulties-- that I'd foobarred the editing of the necessary files. So I decided to de-select this one and restore the original files (at least until I got everything else up and running).

Surrender Option: Tried this one at first, but had the previously-mentioned menu icon text/button problems, so I've deactivated it for now.

Smoke-on-Horizon Mod: Activated, but no idea as of now if it's working or not.

Silent-Running Fix: Activated, but no idea as of now if it's working or not.

Shallow-water Asdic mod: Activated, but no idea as of now if it's working or not.

Reduce 'Ship Sighted' mod: Activated, but no idea as of now if it's working or not.

Change Patrol Grid mod: Since I did like this idea I was, originally, going to activate it. However, the instructions for creating a new button confused me. One of those were “In order to introduce the new button, it is necessary to make the following changes: a) Create a new entry [G3F I210] in your menu_1024_768.ini file, in the radio-man group, as shown below.” However, I already have a preexisting [G3F I210]: Name=&Send patrol report. So, rather than risk severely mucking things up I chose not to activate and try out this feature.

Minimum TC fix: Activated, and boy howdy does it work! :rock:

BdU message improvement: Deactivated; at some point (assuming I manage to get working everything else) I intend to activate this.

Null Grid Fix: Deactivated; “Null Grid” never bothered me.

Weather Meter: Deactivated; not something that interested me.

Air Torpedo (Fido): Deactivated; currently usingRubini's air torpedo mod.


Have you tried what happens with the simple patched (H.sie + Stiebler) game without any other mods added before of after the patch?

That I have not. I will have to create and export another directory install and try that.


Below is the ordered list of currently activated mods.

@Von Hesse:

Can I just remind you, and others, that I placed a supplementary mod for GWX users onto the NYGM web-site at SubSim, some time ago when others raised the issue of problems of difficulty of installation.

Download this file:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z

Then unzip it into its folder, which you can install with JSGME after the folder containing your Hsie-Stiebler4b patch.

Of course, this new folder may break some of the other mods you have installed. But at least you can test the features of the Hsie-Stiebler4b patch to decide whether you want them, before adding a sackful of other mods.
Good luck!

Stiebler.

I was not aware of a specific GWX-users supplementary mod. I knew about having to select the correct .dat for the sensors, but not about this.

I really appreciate you looking into this for me. Once I finish this current patrol and dock I'll do some remodifications and see just how everything works with just the two hardcode patches.

Again, thanks so much!

[Albrecht Von Hesse]

After a clean install and GWX incorporation I copied over my existing (and edited as instructed) h.sie Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME) folder into the MODS folder. I then copied the GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 into the MODS folder.

Running HsieOptionsSelector_V16A.exe I selected every modification except:


H.sie's WO Range Inaccuracy, WP Range Inaccuracy, and wolfpk less contact reports, and,
Stiebler's air torpedo.
Next I copied and pasted the modified SH3.exe file into the GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 folder, then activated Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME) followed by GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.

The game loaded fine --no CTD-- and, as best as I can tell with just a short experimental run, everything appears to be working as described, save for one obvious omission: the weather meter was not visible.

The radio contact buttons for the Surrender/Abandon Option were there, and functioned exactly as described. The “Change Patrol Grid” mod also worked exactly as described (well, I assume so; I didn't wait until actually receiving a new grid).

I've no idea how to force an encounter with a CAM-ship, but otherwise I'll run a patrol with just these two activated and see what happens.

Thanks again for your help!

[Stiebler]

@Von Hesse:

The weather meter: you must toggle ON the following:
1. The 'Noise Meter' (also sometimes called the 'Stealth Meter') in the original list of SH3 Options (that is, the options that you can pick when you start a new patrol in the original game of Silent Hunter III.)
2. The 'Weather Meter' option must also be ticked ON in the Hsie/Stiebler Options Selector.

Hi Anvart!

Thanks for the quick response. It's not the sound issue, though, that is frustrating me. To the best of my knowledge what the issue is, is that the GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 mod has it's own, specific en_menu.txt and menu_1024_768.ini files that render inoperable the commands contained in the en_menu.txt and menu_1024_768.ini files of the FM30_UpDown_final / FM_NewInterior_V1.0 / FM_NI_Fix_for_Anvart_FM30_UpDown mods.

Once I activate the GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 mod (which is absolutely necessary in order to have Stielbler's hardcode patch to correctly operate) all the commands used by the FM30_UpDown_final / FM_NewInterior_V1.0 / FM_NI_Fix_for_Anvart_FM30_UpDown mods no longer work.

If the problem is about en_menu and menu_1024_768 download winmerge
compare the files from both mods and see what the differences are.
Comparing txt or ini files with Winmerge is a piece of cake.

Then merge for example merge your en_menu with the en_menu from a mod , a little renumbering might be neccesary and you are ready to go.
Check also the en_commands files of the mods to see what changes they do.

IMO , this is neccesary if you have a heavily modded en_txt or menu_1024 files , as I have.

Hope I helped

Just to clarify:

Using the Fido mod, From the readme:

1) Every aircraft that would drop depth bombs will now also drop a FIDO (after Fido is available)?

2) Fido will only be used on submerged/periscope depth U-boat?

3) Fido will also be used even if u-boat is very near convoy or under attack by surface vessels?

Thanks

Vermin

[Stiebler]

@Vermin:

1) Every aircraft that would drop depth bombs will now also drop a FIDO (after Fido is available)?Yes. But note that aircraft that carry depthcharges mostly also carry bombs, and (usually) will drop bombs, not depthcharges. So there is not an attack by Fido after most air attacks.

2) Fido will only be used on submerged/periscope depth U-boat?No, it will be dropped on a surfaced U-boat too. But again, bombs are more likely to be dropped. However, you have very little chance of escape if attacked by Fido while on the surface, because the acoustic torpedo homes in on your speed.

3) Fido will also be used even if u-boat is very near convoy or under attack by surface vessels?Yes. Just as bombs and depthcharges will also be dropped on you even if you are under a merchantship. That was part of the devs' original code.

One more item concerning Fido and U-boat operation in SH3:
Just recently, I discovered for the first time that, if the U-boat is nearly stationary underwater and you click on 'resume course', the U-boat speed jumps up to medium speed. A Fido sunk me as a result; I thought I was still drifting slowly round at <1 kt - until I got hit. That was a dirty trick by the devs - when I say 'resume course', I mean 'turn to set heading'. I do not mean 'turn to set heading at medium speed'.

I hope all is clear now.
Stiebler.

[Vermin]

Thanks Stiebler!

The resume course = medium speed bug is a real PITA!

[Stiebler]

I just noticed that an entry has to be added to en_menu.txt and de_menu.txt, otherwise the BdU message to return to base after you have suffered heavy damage gives only a blank screen:

The entries to add are:
(for en_menu.txt)
; Low on fuel:
4834=Severe damages! Return to base as ordered!

(for de_menu.txt)
; Low on fuel:
4834=Schwere Schäden! Rückmarsch antreten! Einlaufhafen wie befohlen!

You can place these entries at the beginning of the extra lines that H.sie added to en_menu.txt and de_menu.txt.
This message will be activated when you send a status report to BdU, after your U-boat hull integrity is below 50%. (There is a random effect in the messages; sometimes you will get a message to repeat the last message, or similar, so just keep sending messages until you are told to return to base.)

Thankyou and Hsie for these mods. :yeah:

I hear "Smoke on horizon Captain" and it takes me right back to AoTD!

Just brilliant!

I have a request if possible:

IRL the Fido is not to be dropped on surfaced u-boats (but game cannot help itself) and player cannot see torpedo is being dropped.

Can it be made so when Fido is dropped the plane drops a torpedo as well?

The torpedo can just be a dummy or go ballistic and any type will do - just so if on surface you might see the torpedo being dropped for eye candy and also to turn diesels off!

Thanks

Darn, I use GWX however, is there anyone out there that uses GWX with your mods that you know of (and many others like MFM and such) that has a good setup with no CTDs or iclashes?

[Stiebler]

@Vermin:
I have re-examined my code for the Fido torpedo, and in fact the torpedo will NOT be dropped onto a U-boat on the surface.

That master-modder Rubini created an alternative 'Air Torpedo Mod' in August 2012, with good visual effects. See this thread:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=197919

And this thread for download :
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1923374&postcount=1

Unfortunately, although my Fido mod and Rubini's mod are compatible together, in the sense that they do not cause computer crashes, they work independently, and therefore one does not see both mods acting together (except by chance!).

Rubini and I spent some time trying to get both mods to work together, but we were unsuccessful. Rubini's mod drops a visually realistic torpedo and fires an invisible large gun repeatedly from the aircraft in an effort to hit the U-boat. My mod uses a test of U-boat speed to determine whether an invisible torpedo has hit. Thus you can avoid my 'torpedo' with skill, but Rubini's 'torpedo' only by chance.

You can download Rubini's work from the link above - look for 'Air Torpedo_mod_v1.2', and see which type of air torpedo you prefer.

I have changed the German in my earlier post #132, as recommended by La Vache and SSB.

Thanks to both. (Sorry, I missed La Vache's original recommended change.)

Stiebler.

[Stiebler]

I have now placed a revised version of the Stiebler4B_V16B1_Addon patch onto the NYGM website, still provided generously by 'Uncle Neal' (Stevens).

Click on my signature below to get the NYGM menu list, then select option (9) in order to download the revised patch.

The changes are very small: a correction to the missing entry 4834 in en_menu.txt and de_menu.txt; a revised sound file SH3Sound.act, and replacement files SoM_K_IncomingTorpedo.ogg for English and German.

Reason for change:
The warning of an incoming torpedo, given by the crew, could only be heard properly at TC=1. At faster time compression, the warning was inaudible owing to poor synchronisation of the SH3.exe and SH3Sound.act files. This is now fixed.

Those who have already installed the older 4B_Addon patch need not go to the trouble of reinstallation of the patch - just copy the SH3Sound.act file and the two SoM_K_IncomingTorpedo.ogg files into their correct locations, to replace the earlier files. Then ensure that you have the entry 4834 in your copy of en_menu.txt or de_menu.txt.

Hi,

I'm redoing the mods I want to use for SH3 and I have a question about these two:

Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)
Stiebler4B_V16B1_Revised

Since they both have to have the modified SH3.exe to work, won't this cause a conflict with using 2 exe files? Or does one overwrite the other and then the unique files in each mod data dir get used.

I haven't checked yet, but are there any files in each mod data dir that will conflict with each other?

This is the first time I've gotten into depth with mod for SH3. I just added the mods and played away. I just found the V16B1 & Stiebler4B mods just last week, so sorry for questions. If the answer is obvious I'm not seeing it. :/\\!!

[BigWalleye]

Stiebler, I don't like to find fault with your fine efforts. I know how difficult and frustrating it is to try reverse-engineering someone else's code and I appreciate your efforts and h.sie's.

But...there is no entry 4834 in the menu_en.txt file in my download of h.sie's patch. The numbering just skips from 4833 to 4835. I put in "4834=Incoming torpedo!" at that point, but I also checked for "Smoke on the horizon!" and it isn't there either - and I don't know the proper number for that entry. (BTW, same sitch in menu_de.txt.) Could you please post the correct item number for that entry? Thanks a lot!

[SquareSteelBar]

...4809=Klarmachen zum Verlassen des Bootes!

Are there any files in each mod data dir that will conflict with each other?The second of the two altered SH3.exe files is prepared from the first altered SH3.exe (altered by H.sie's mod).
And certainly some of the other files will conflict.

However, the files for the Stiebler4B_V16B1_Revised patch are intended to overwrite H.sie's earlier files. Therefore, install first the H.sie patch with JSGME, then the Stiebler4B patch with JSGME.

The missing entries can be found in the Stiebler4B patch folder Stiebler4B_Additional_files_V16B1, then look in file ADD_to_your_en(de)menu.txt for these entries.

Concerning 'Smoke on the Horizon':
For technical reasons, this message is hard-coded in the Stiebler patch, and there is no German language equivalent. Sorry about that. However, the sound message should be in German.
For the same reason, German players must endure the English message 'U-boat destroyed' in the 'Surrender' addition to the hard-code, with no German equivalent. I have been unable to discover a method to add a sound file in English or German to the Surrender mod.


@La Vache, SquareSteelBar:
Points about the German translation noted. Many thanks to both.

Stiebler.

[BigWalleye]

Sorry, Stiebler, but I'm not seeing it. Here are the entire contents of the file ADD_to_your_en_menu.txt date-stamped 7/23/2012 3:45 AM:

;; Add these lines to the bottom of YOUR en_menu.txt file
;; Found in your silenthunteriii\data\menu folder.

IMPORTANT (1) - You must *also change* the existing contents of the en_menu.txt file entries to the texts show below:
566=Scuttling charges set! 10 minutes to abandon boat! Set U-boat to crash-dive!
2905=Abandon U-boat!
4809=Prepare to abandon U-boat!
4810=Prepare to abandon U-boat!
IMPORTANT (2) - It is **ESSENTIAL** to retain the English phrase "U-boat destroyed".
Required for Stiebler 'Surrender' hard-code patch.
Check entries 560, 561, 562 and 563 to ensure that all are present and that the phrase 'U-boat destroyed' in each line is spelled EXACTLY as shown.
Note the lower-case 'b' in U-boat!!
560=U-boat destroyed.
561=U-boat destroyed by collision.
562=U-boat destroyed by pressure.
563=U-boat destroyed by flooding.

As you can see, the number 4834 line is not present. (Not in the German version either.) I believe I must have an older version of the ADD_to_your_en_menu.txt file. If so, I'll find the more recent one and fix this.

Thanks much for your timely assistance. I appreciate all the work you have done for this game (and made available for free!)


EDIT: Just went back and reread your last post. The "Smoke on the horizon!" message is HARD-CODED, so I don't need an entry in menu.txt! Duh-oh! AFAIK, I have everything else except the 4834 message already, and I know what that is, where to put it, and have already fixed my file. It was only the "Smoke...." message that I was concerned about, since I lacked the item number. So I am good! Thanks again for the timely response.

[BigWalleye]

Thanks, Mike. IAC, it's fixed now. Although I haven't taken an air-dropped torpedo to check it out! Hope I have to take Stiebler's word indefinitely on that one!

My main concern was for the missing "Smoke on the horizon!" message, which I hope to use a lot more often.

[BigWalleye]

Stiebler, I am planning to implement the Minimum TC Fix patch next time I'm in port. I notice that it uses SHIFT-N as a toggle. Since there is no change to commands_en.cfg included with the patch, I presume that the use of SHIFT-N is hard-coded and can't be changed by the user. I use sh3speech, which has Deck_Gun_Cease_Fire assigned to SHIFT-N. So I'll need to remap Deck_Gun_Cease_Fire, correct?

[Stiebler]

@BigWallEye:

I use sh3speech, which has Deck_Gun_Cease_Fire assigned to SHIFT-N. So I'll need to remap Deck_Gun_Cease_Fire, correct? Correct again. (The Stiebler 4b Patch also uses SHIFT-M in hard code, for the Change Grid mod.)

Good luck!

Thanks for the answer. I was trying to avoid a little work.:D

Thanks also for all the work associated with these patches. Reverse-engineering disassembled code is not my idea of a walk in the park! Much appreciated!


@BigWallEye:

The Stiebler 4b Patch also uses SHIFT-M in hard code, for the Change Grid mod.



Oh! Since you included a change to the commands_en.cfg file for the Change Grid patch, I thought that one was re-mappable.

[Ernst Sautter]

Hi guys

First i want to thank Stiebler and h.sie for his wonderful work. I am a veteran Sh3 gwx player and after achieving som 1 million tonnage sunk in 1 career at 100% reality i got bored of the game. But now with these wonderful mods it feels like a totally new game.

Only thing that I miss now to get a real realistic feeling is convoys that sail with the ships further apart so it would be possible to make a "Kretschmer" without getting detected.

Almost everything works as intended for me I run

GWX 16km Atmosphere
GWK Enhanced Dmg
GWX Integrated orders (some problems with this)
Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)
Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1
DD_OH_V3.09_20091209162038
FM_NewInterior_V1.0

The integrated orders seems not to work.
maybe some one knows what the problem can be it dident work
before the last 2 mods where attached either.

Anyway noticed one bug. The hydrophones dont work after you dive for some time. If you are speeding the game up and dive with 1024 time acceleration. A ship can pass right by you before you can press the hydrophone button for "normal sweep"

It can be manual activated by rotating the hydrophone and then it works directly.

Anyway this is rather annoying as it makes it impossible to dive listen/confirm a position of convoy/ship and then surface again.(without manually doing it)

Did some1 else notice this problem and is there anyway to fix it?

Again thanks for the impressive work

Best regards Ernst

[BigWalleye]

Ernst, Stiebler4B_V16B1_Addon overwrites orders2.tga, one of the key graphics files for GWX-Integrated Orders. You can incorporate Stiebler's changes into the GWX-Integrated Orders file, but you need to know how to alter graphics files and have the necessary software to do so. If you install GWX-Integrated Orders over Stiebler4B_V16B1_Addon, integrated Orders should work, but you will lose the Abandon U-boat icon. Actually, the button will still be there, but what you will see is the icon for Report Contacts IIRC. The tooltip will say Abandon U-boat, and the function will be correct. If you can live with that, you have your fix.

[BigWalleye]

Stiebler, while making the necessary changes to use your Minimum TC patch, I observed something interesting. As you posted above, you have hard-coded SHIFT-M and SHIFT-N for the Request New Grid and Minimum TC patches. But those keybindings are also assignable through commands.xx.cfg. When you press SHIFT-M, for example, you initiate the Request New Grid sequence, and whatever game function you have assigned via commands_xx.cfg. This is not particularly useful, but it's interesting that your patch does not preempt the keybinding and exclude the other function. Perhaps this information might contribute to your reverse engineering efforts.

[SquareSteelBar]

Good point... :hmm2:

@runio:

I understand that 'windows 7 starter' is the basic 32-bit version of WIndows 7 (just done an Internet search).

I have no experience with this, but I suggest you check you have enough RAM for your set-up.

The crash you have described is pretty serious, and would not be caused by an incorrect installation of the 4B patch.
Incorrect installation causes crashes-to-desktop (CTDs).

Apart from that, I regret that I cannot help. Sorry.

Stiebler.

[runio]

what mods are you using?

Currently:
GWX3
ACM-GUI Reloaded - h.sie's Edition V1.15
TMT v2

But my problem is independent of mods setup - black screen appear even if i put patched exe file to clean installation SH3.

@runio:

Yes, this is version installed on most 10.1 inch netbooks.

I have 2GB of RAM. SH3 ran smoothly even with 1GB.

I wonder if there is some problem with patch process. Stiebler, can you check a md5 sum of patched file? Mine is: 76ee27b78d395f98151073a13d16fed5
Thx for the answer.

[BigWalleye]

Did you activate the 4GB fix? 'Cause if you did, and you only have 2GB, you're likely to have problems. Try turning it off.

As i said,

[runio]

One more thing, my original SH3.exe is a SF version (according to md5 sums provided by h.sie). Maybe this cause a problem?

[Stiebler]

@Runio,

This is a puzzling problem.

I don't think an MD5 check serves any purpose, because it depends on which options are selected.

There is clearly a fault:
Either with your patch. (You should make another patch. Remember you need to patch a copy of SH3.exe already modified by H.sie's patch. Make sure you are using the correct copy of SH3.exe.)
Or with the other changes you need to make to other files. Have you made these other changes?

In particular, if you are using GWX, you must make sure that all references to the CAM-ship are removed. Remove the CAM-ship from the 4B patch package, where you will find it as M36B in the package folder data\sea\M36B (remove the whole M36B folder). Also remove the M36B reference in data\roster\Sea\british\.

There are two key tests you need to perform:
1. Remove the Stiebler 4b patch - I presume you installed it with JSGME - but leave in place H.sie's patch. Does the game still run properly?
2. Download from the link below the special GWX patch that I made for the game, because so many people reported CTDs due to the M36B problem. The patch below contains all the changes needed, and can replace the original 4B patch folder. But you must still provide the patched SH3.exe file.

http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z

3. If the crashes continue, do they occur when you first double-click on the sh3.exe icon? Or do they occur after you have entered the main menu of the game?
This is an important diagnostic.
4. Finally, make sure that you remove ALL other mods (except H.sie V16G1 patch) from your game before applying the Stiebler 4B patches. Test after the 4b patch is in place, and before you add any other mods.

Better luck next time!
Stiebler.

As i said,


Beggin' yer pardon. Was trying to help.

[desertstriker]

One more thing, my original SH3.exe is a SF version (according to md5 sums provided by h.sie). Maybe this cause a problem?
That would more than likely be the problem. If you want one without starforce look at the top right of the screen for the amazon store. If you make purchases throug that subsim gets a % of the sale.

[sckallst]

Are the various Sensors_AI files included with the dload already pre-adjusted for the shallow-water ASDIC settings or is that something we still have to adjust ourselves as needed/desired? Looking through the GXW file it appears it seems the number has been already set to 100.0, but not sure if that's what it's supposed to be.

Anyhow, great work by h.sie and stiebler on this. I came to SHIII backwards from SH4 and I'm really loving what all you guys have done with this game over the years.

Thanks, Stiebler. Have everything up and running great. Just wasn't sure about the ASDIC setting (and hope I never have to find out in-game :03: )

I'm using the MaGui mod and I adjusted your weather meter so that it just uses the 'box' that the regular noise meter uses. Then I changed the colors and added tool tips so that I i can be reminded what the colors mean just by pointing the mouse.

Thanks again to you and Hsie for all the improvements.

[Hari123]

Hello!

I wanted to "tune" my GWX3 a little bit with this addon. H.sie´s patch works fine. But when I activate GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 , I have the same problem as von Hesse:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1953541&postcount=107

I am also using the SH3_XPSP2_Res_Fix_for_1.4b at a resolution of 1680 x 1050. May this the problem?

Thanks for your help!

[complutum]

hi! Stiebler have you seen this? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=206353

take a look at it, perhaps you could with h´sie help and of course permission from the author implement this behaviour inside your patch.

[Stiebler]

General remark:
In checking out these queries, I noticed suddenly that the link to the Stiebler4B patch (at the top of this thread, post #1) still points to the older Stiebler4B_Addon patch.
It should point to the newer Stiebler4B_Revised patch. (Since April 2013.)
I have corrected this error.
The link to the patch given in my logo at the bottom of this post was, and remains, correct.

@Hari123:
The problem you report with the blank messages is almost certainly due to the fact your wide-screen mod has overlaid its en_menu.txt (and other files) over those required by the Stiebler4b_Revised patch.

Check the last entries at the end of your wide-screen en_menu.txt file (in folder silenthunteriii\data\menu) with the last entries in file en_menu.txt found in the Stiebler4B_Revised patch. Some other entries will also need to be added/updated. It is all explained in the documentation file for the Stiebler4B_Revised patch.

@Complutum:
I regret that I know nothing about H.sie's wolf-pack patch, which was created by H.sie and Leitender. Nor do I have any knowledge of Backer's wolf-pack patch.

[andqui]

I'm trying to put together a NYGM-based installation; looking readme of the virtual FIDO mod here, I notice that it spawns a FIDO every time an aircraft drops a depth charge. Is this correct? If so, what happens when an aircraft like the Wellington drops a depth charge- does that spawn a FIDO attack as well? Is there a way to restrict this to just Avenger aircraft?

Also, could you compare this with the Air Torpedo & Fido mod here? (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=197762) They seem to work in very different ways; while it says that both are compatible with eachother, would that solution supersede this one?

thanks

[Stiebler]

@Andqui:
I notice that it spawns a FIDO every time an aircraft drops a depth charge. Is this correct? If so, what happens when an aircraft like the Wellington drops a depth charge- does that spawn a FIDO attack as well? Is there a way to restrict this to just Avenger aircraft?Yes, a FIDO is spawned after 1 June 1943 every time that an aircraft drops a depthcharge.

Different aircraft have different load-outs (of weapons). The big bombers mostly have mixed load-outs of bombs and depthcharges, so you will get effectively a random drop of either bombs or depthcharges every time the aircraft drops part of its pay-load.

Thus the way to restrict FIDO to Avengers is to change the loadouts of all other bombers to exclude depthcharges after 1 June 1943. You can find the load-outs for each aircraft in their .eqp files. Delete their load-outs for depthcharges, then renumber all the remaining entries so that they are continuous ( [Equipment 1,2,3,4...] ). In real life, some Liberators also carried FIDO, so you'd probably want to leave them unchanged.

Also, could you compare this with the Air Torpedo & Fido mod. They seem to work in very different ways; while it says that both are compatible with eachother, would that solution supersede this one?Neither solution supercedes the other, they are simply different.
If you prefer the graphic effect, use Rubini's Air Torpedo and Fido mod.
If you prefer realism (bearing in mind the fact that the crew of a submerged U-boat could not actually see any external graphics), then use my hard-code mod. Rubini and I tried to combine the two mods, but we agreed that it was too difficult - they both function in ways that are completely unrelated.

However, I think you will be sunk far too often if you try to use both mods together, even though, as you say, they are mutually compatible in operation.

[Riccardo1975]

Just added Hsie's and Stieblers add on together with MFM 3.2 to GWX and SH3 Cmdr.

Its improved SH3 to the point where every time I raise my scope to visually ID a contact my mouth drops open. A big thankyou to Hsie, Stiebler, the GWX team and everyone on Subsim.

But I'll definitely be changing the aircraft loadouts to minimise the amount of FIDOs that I get dropped on my crash dive bubble trail... Its June 1944 off Londonderry and even in U-3008 its a twice daily occurence.

Two questions:

Theres a cloud where my stealth meter used to be. Any threads/posts I can read on this?

MFM has wiped out my Additional Ammo mod so now I only have 110 rounds of 105mm. Change it basic .cfg?

P.S I found IX/D2s before I went XXI and they truly are a superb boat. Lorient to Rangoon and back....

You might look in the file Instructions_Stiebler4B_V16B1_Addon.rtf which is included with the Stiebler4B_V16B1_Revised patches you just installed. It has a pretty complete description of what the cloud means, how to interpret the colors, and how to turn it off if you don't want to use it.

[Stiebler]

This is an update of my older Stiebler4B_V16B1_revised hard-code fix.

It contains all the same material from the 4B fix, together with a new code fix for radar rotations, and a whole series of new turms (conning towers) created by Anvart for NYGM, and modified by me for the radar fix.

The result is that fixed (FuMO29) and rotating radars (eg FumO30) can now be found in their correct positions on the turms. Anvart's original mod allowed the rotating radars and D/F aerials to be raised and lowered.

Since I understand that many players prefer to use their own turms on the U-boats, created by several talented modders, the package includes a new Options Selector, with a toggle ON/OFF for the radar position fix. Do NOT confuse this radar-position fix with H.sie's radar ON/OFF mod, which ensures that the radar is switched off when you sailed from base.

The 4C hard-code fix, like the 4B, must be applied to a genuine copy of SH3.exe already patched with H.sie's hard-code fix. Full instructions are included with the fix. Those who have already the Stiebler 4B hard-code fix should have no difficulty in using the 4C - the same patch instructions, a new Options Selector with just one added option, and all your existing changes to other SH3 files need not be altered. You need to add only the new turms as an extra mod.

The 4C Stiebler hard-code fix:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/ (http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/Stiebler4C_V16B1.7z)Stiebler4C_V16B1.7z (http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/Stiebler4C_V16B1.7z)

Alternatively, if you prefer to retain your own turms, use the original Stiebler4B_V16B1 hard-code fix instead. This is still available from the SubSim/NYGM web-site here:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/Stiebler4B_V16B1_Revised.7z

Realy this is inmersive and i could make work it with a long list of mod (from gwx3gold to new hydrophones), big updates.

I have a custion about the issue with saving games and changes on clock (time base) wich is esencial for real navigation as i am playing. At the time (short time campain since i started the game stable with all mods) i detect one change of time on one saving instance.
Could be a fix for this issue.
thanks people.:up:

[bstanko6]

I apologize Blitzkrieg. Ok my question is this, I upgraded to the Stiebler 4c and it works well as far as "smoke on the horizon" and "surrender" goes. Not sure if the u tanker thing works yet. Additional mods like grid change... I was trying to get the new grid button to work, but it does not. I just got h.sie patch to work recently so I know how to manipulate en_menu and command.cfg etc...

I am 95% sure i did the en_menu and .cfg amd menu_176 or what ever it is right. But it does not work. Any experienced guys out there know how this works?

[Stiebler]

@bstank06:

It is not clear what you mean when you say the Grid Change mod 'does not work'. Do you mean that you can see the new icon button in the radio message cluster, and when you click on it, there is no response? (You should see a radio message sent, followed about two game hours later by a dialog box.) Do you get the dialog box? If so, what is the message in it?

If none of the above is working correctly, what happens when you press SHIFT-M, which mimicks pressing on the Change Grid button?

If both of these fail, then there are two possibilities:
1. You have not, in fact, followed the instructions correctly in some way.
2. You have followed the instructions correctly, but then you have overlaid some other mod(s) that have overwritten your newly modified files en_menu.txt, commands_en.cfg and menu_1024_768.ini.

Also, you do not say which (if any) super-mod you have installed. NYGM has most of these changes made for you already.
I have prepared also a standard package for GWX users, which can be downloaded here:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z

Make sure you test your game set-up with nothing more than SH3, Hsie's code fix and the Stiebler code-fix added before you do anything else.

[bstanko6]

Stiebler, thanks for the quick response. I am using NYGM.

The button does appear when I setup the mod. When I run my mouse over it, the border does not light up orange like the other radioman buttons.

When I press the button, nothing happens no message or any thing. I do wait 24 hours and such in the grid.

Understand, that when I attempt to set up the grid change mod, I lose the abandon uboat button as well. In other words, your standalone patch works wonderfully(thank you for it!), when I try to update the grid mod, i lose this button.

I think you are right, I think I have a couple of mods that effect this.

Try again with just these mods to see if the Grid-Change remains a problem.
If so, check the changes to files that you have made.
If not, introduce the other mods from your long list slowly, 2-3 at a time, to see when the Grid-Change fails to function properly.
Then you will know where the problem lies. Although, even after identifying the problem, other mods in your long list may also cause interference.

[Fahnenbohn]

I would like to give a suggestion to Stiebler :

In his shallow water ASDIC mod, the ability to detect a submarine depends on the sea depth. Would it be possible to replace the sea depth by the depth under the submarine's keel ? Thus, when a submarine is 100 meters deep with 10 meters under its keel, it is as if it was at 25 meters with also 10 meters under its keel.

[Meridian]

This is what the outside view looks like after I submerge. Before I dive it looks fine.

I have gone through the fixes and enabled them one by one to find the casue and it seems to be the "Periscope-Fix" being enabled along with MaGUI. Without MaGUI all seems OK. Any advice ?

[Henri II]

I have a problem understanding how this part of the mod actually works. I copied my version (from CCoM) of the AI_Sensors.dat into the data/Library folder and changed the MinSurface values to 100 for all Asdic types as instructed.
My question is how can I see if I did everything right and this part of the patch actually works (other than testing it in the game), it does not change the AI_sensors.dat file itself, right?

The other question is, are the changes to the MinSurface values dynamic i.e. the game will adjust them in the course of a patrol depending on the actual sea depth at my location, or are they simply set to shallow as long as the mod is installed, meaning I should only install it if I actually intend to play a patrol in shallow waters?

[Stiebler]

I seem to have missed a couple of queries while I was away on holiday in August. Sorry about that.

@Fahnenbohn:
I've just answered your PM on the same subject.

For the benefit of others, the German opinion was that shallow waters caused Asdic to detect U-boats less well, therefore the function of my Asdic mod is (I think) correct. In the mod, the asdic functions less well when the waters are shallow, not when the U-boat is near the bottom of the sea.

@Henri II:
The asdic mod alters dynamically, as the depth of the sea changes.
There is no easy way of testing the mod except by results. You can only check your AI_sensors.dat file in a program that reads .dat files (eg the freeware XVI32 Hex Editor program) and check that the values are correct after alteration.

@Meridian:
This is one of those instance where I'm being asked to comment on other peoples' mods: in this case one by MaGUI and one by H.sie (periscope fix).

The short answer is that I have no idea what has caused the problem, but if disabling the periscope fix enables you to play with MaGUI in place, then that is the solution.

However, I admire greatly your perseverance in trying to narrow down the problem. I wish that some others would do the same. (This comment does not apply to my answers to Fahnenbohn and Henry II above.)

HI @Meridian

I see that your speed is 7 knots.
From handbook of Stiebler:

Periscope Fix:
"Restricted Periscope usage for higher speeds
• Speed> 4.5 knots: Blur effect simulates vibrations. Periscopes nearly useless.

• Speed> 7.0 knots: Periscopes are moved down automatically.
Both speeds (4.5 and 7.0 knots) can be adjusted to different values in hsie.ini configuration
file "

With 7 knots high Blur effect is normal.

I use Magui F with Hsie ... work fine.

@J0313:
Do you use the 4C_SubsFlag add on in conjunction with the Radar on Turms fix option selected in the option selector? No.

The SubFlags add-on provided literally only the war-flag (with raise/lower options) on the rear conning-tower (not in the original 4C-turms), and a different key-operation and parking for the raising and lowering of the rotating radar units. Nice, and good work by the modder who made the adaption, but not essential.

Until now I was using only the classic HSIE V16B1 patch. I was reading the docs of Stiebler4C but I do not find the answer to this question: Do I need to modify Campaign_SCR.mis like I did with HSIE V16B1 to use wolfpacks?

[tomfon]

Hi JuanLiquid.

If you intend to use Stiebler's version then you have to patch your original sh3.exe file with H.sie's V161B patch-kit first, and then again patch the new sh3.exe file with Stiebler's 4C_161B patch-kit. Stiebler mentions this in the "readme" files.

Other than that, in order to use any of the features, you must follow the instructions provided by their corresponding author, H.sie or Stiebler. This is why you won't find any instructions regarding the activation of H.sie's mods in the documents released by Stiebler. Therefore, if you want to use the Wolfpack mod, then you must edit the Campaign_SCR.mis file per the instructions provided by H.sie.

I am sorry for the extended answer but simply patching the exe files doesn't mean that everything will work as advertised.:03:

[JuanLiquid]

Thank you tomfon :)

Yes, I knew about the double patching - that was in the Stiebler documentation, but since it doesn't talk about the H.sie additional modifications I was unsure. Now, I know what to do :Kaleun_Salute:

Stielber could you fix the bug where aircraft only spawns below 1024x tc. In general Sh 3 aircraft are too rare compared to sh4 This is not a bug, but an integral problem of high time compression.
See my post long ago:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=196556&postcount=22 (29 Jan 2006; the important extract follows):

"Concerning time compression (TC):
"SH3 calculates the position of every unit (or unit block, such as a convoy) at every time unit (whatever the internal time tick may be). If you run at 1xTC then no unit, including your U-boat, has travelled very far when the update comes. At 128xTX, everything has moved 128 times further before updates occur. At 1024xTC everything has moved quite a distance before the update occur. So a ship or aircraft may jump suddenly into the middle of your field of view when it wasn't visible before. Alternatively, it may hop completely over the U-boat without either side ever seeing the other. I think use of TC above 512 is unwise, except to accelerate travel to remote patrol areas.

"It is possible to use interpolation routines to check whether two units have hopped over each other without spotting one another. I've done it myself for a customer, but it is complicated and Ubisoft, probably wisely, has decided not to add the extra computational burden."

Hello,
I'm at the end of the NYGM installation process, and I have a question about your Patch, Stiebler. It's about the Abandon ship option.

In your documentation, you wrote: "If, after sending your ‘Abandon U-boat’ message, the enemy then sinks you, even on the surface, your crew will NOT be rescued. You will get the usual message “U-boat destroyed.” on the ‘Black Screen of Death’. This should be taken to mean that your U-boat exploded, or sank suddenly, after being hit by shells or bombs from ships or aircraft. In order to survive, you *must* sink the U-boat yourself!"

My question: If, after sending my ‘Abandon U-boat’ message, and then diving at high speed, I'm crushed by the water pressure BEFORE the 10 minutes (needed for my bomb to explode), then will I survive or not?????

Edit: a small remark. You wrote that for the Change patrol grid mod,one has to change the menu_1024_768.ini. However,the file provided to change the menu_1024_768.ini doesn't seem to add lines for this option.

@ArnoldR:


To answer your questions:
My question: If, after sending my ‘Abandon U-boat’ message, and then diving at high speed, I'm crushed by the water pressure BEFORE the 10 minutes (needed for my bomb to explode), then will I survive or not?????

Answer is NO, you won't survive. Dive only to 80 meters. If already severely damaged, stop dive at 20 meters.

2nd Question: You wrote that for the Change patrol grid mod,one has to change the menu_1024_768.ini. However,the file provided to change the menu_1024_768.ini doesn't seem to add lines for this option.

Answer: The file to change for the Change Patrol Grid is en_menu.txt, lines 2919-2925.
If I have said elsewhere to change menu_1024_768.ini for this purpose, then I have made an error.

I hope that helps.
Stiebler.

Yes,it perfectly answers my questions. Thank you very much, Sir!!!!

Had to reinstall SH3 and NYGM and had H.Sie and Stiebler mods installed and have installed both several times with no issues, until now.

Both mods and loaded in but when attempting access the Stielbler mod through the H.Sie Selector I get the following error message "Cannot find your switches in file SH3.exe. All switches must have value of 0 or FF with at least one FF."

I have followed the instructions and have had no issues previously until attempting this recent reinstall. Not sure what the problem is.

Did you patch your sh3.exe with Hsie's patch before applying Stiebler's, and NOT use Hsie's options selector ?

[FUBAR295]

John,

Yes, I have followed the instructions to the letter, this is not the first time putting this mod in, but this go round, each time I get the same error message after applying the mod. I get the message on the H.sie Options Selector when I press Stiebler Mods button.

I have even down loaded a new copy of Stiebler's mod thinking I had a corrupt file, getting the same result. After several tries, keep getting the same result. ( Is that not the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result ). :o:doh:

That is strange. The selector works for Hsie's options though ?

[FUBAR295]

H.sie works as is expected. Just can not access Stiebler's Option Selector.

Good hunting,

[John Pancoast]

Only thing I can think of is the Hsie patch wasn't done for some reason, even though you actually did do it. Or at least Stiebler's patch thinks that.

[FUBAR295]

John,

That is what I am thinking.

Maybe something is amiss in the menu 1024 768 ini file, I haven't look there, one of the to do things.

Shouldn't be anything related to the ini file with that type of error message.
Problems with it usually cause a ctd upon trying to load a mission, academy, career, etc.

Was able to do the Stiebler Patch on my Desk Top. :hmmm:

Something in my system will not permit the patching function within the hard drive files, maybe anti virus. I was previously able to do it that way, not sure why not now.

I have now uploaded a typical addon folder (GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1) for GWX3.0 Gold, which I have tested to ensure that it functions correctly.

However, for copyright reasons, it does NOT contain the patched SH3.exe required in order to operate. You must create this yourself.

Download the folder from here:
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1.7z

Method:
1. Start with GWX3.
2. Patch your copy of SH3.exe with Hsie's V16B1 patch.
3. Without making ANY changes, then patch your HSIE-SH3.exe with the Stiebler4b_Addon_for_V16B1 patchkit, following its instructions.
4. Place the double-patched copy of SH3.exe into the folder GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1, next to the new envsim.act file.
5. Install Hsie's folder 'Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)' with
JSGME.
6. Install your unzipped folder GWX3_Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1 (containing your new SH3.exe) with JSGME.

(The CAM-SHIP mod will not function.)
(I have used the 'lite' campaign_SCR.mis file in the GWX folder for testing. The only change is to add H.sie VIIF wolf-pack U-boats as units. If you prefer the original full campaign_SCR.mis, then add the VIIF U-boats to the original file, which you should have done already as part of Hsie's folder 'Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)'.)

This will save a lot of trouble for most GWX users. I am aware that there are many mod variants for GWX, and I have no idea whether this simple addon folder will function correctly with the other extra mods. But at least users of GWX variants now have a template folder to study.

Hello, I tried it but seems like my HSieOptionSelector is the same that the "old" one. I dont find the new pop up for activate news fix. I dont think I made any mistake here but Hsieoptinoselector should show new things, isnt it ? The only thing showing me that something change is the oxygen bar and the unchecked box for real repair time by default.

But I really dont know if it change anything atm except rewritting some file from my ARB wideGui and destroying it (split screen)

What version is your "old" one?
Go to first post.
Use the NYGM-Link in the signature.
iirc the HsieOptionsSelector_V16C is the Last one.

I have no idea what your problem in ARB is, i dont use it. Split screen sounds like look for Tycho-patch.

Greetings.

[Drakken]

Is it compatible with LSH 2020, as well?

[phooey]

hey folks, is there a reason why diesel damage fix isn't activated in stiebler-h.sie option selector? Is that fix also not compatible with NYGM just like the realistic repair times?

best regards.

It can be used in NYGM without any issues.

[ericlea]

Perhaps because that Diesel damage fix option is not very realistic ?

During WW2, diesel submarine were able to run on flank speed during several hours but not only 15 minutes like it is simulated in that feature.

:Kaleun_Salute:

I agree, that’s why i don’t use this option.

[John Pancoast]

Maybe so, maybe not but the engines were far from being reliable. I.e., time after time in Blair's books there are accounts of engine trouble.
Player engagements/events tend to occur much quicker in the game vs. real life too, so perhaps the time frame before damage in the patch if thought of in that light isn't to far off ?
And of course, one can always try changing the patch parameters in the hsie.ini file.
It says very risky (whatever that means) to do so but has anyone tried ?
I've always used it and now wouldn't play the game without it to the point that I believe not using it gives the player an unfair advantage, which with the Sh3 ai is hardly needed in the first place. :)
I believe it was Leitender who also made a damage patch but it's only for the VIIb. I haven't looked at it enough to see if it could be made to apply to others.

[phooey]

Thank you for the quick reply, folks. :Kaleun_Salute:

I was thinking it might be because of nygm no damage control mod, but after reading your replies, it may not be the case anymore.

Cheers, :salute:

The only option in the H.sie/Stiebler patches relating to damage that shouldn't be used with NYGM is the "Realistic repair times" option of H.sie's patch.

Indeed, as it says so in the readme. But I don't know why diesel damage fix not mentioned anywhere in the stiebler patch docs. :06:

No reason to; its info. is in H.sie's docs.

After some testing I noticed the SH3Sim.act file which adds the Ship Speed Fix causes issues when recharging battery power during high windspeed weather. I am unsure whether this is intended or not, but matter of fact it's taking considerably longer to charge up. It seems to affect all U-boat Types but most noticeable are the IIA, IID and XXI which took me several days to recharge from 60 to 100% at windspeeds of 15m/s(No issues on calm weather though).
Tested this on both my main install with GWX and a dozen mods and a clean GWX install with only h.sie and stiebler patch enabled.
I am unaware whether or not this issue is exclusive to GWX as i didn't have the time to check on other supermods.

Can confirm, it happens in my Onealex compilation mod install as well. I think its an issue with GWX and any mega mods that use it but could be across the board.

[John Pancoast]

All three of those boats are underpowered vs. others. High winds, etc. wouldn't help that. Maybe that has something to do with it.

[Mad Mardigan]

:hmmm: :hmmm: :hmmm:


If you have rough weather, then of course... it would stand to reason, that it would take somewhat longer, to recharge the bats...

seeing as how until the schnorkel, the intake/output stacks for the diesels... are there, on the outer sides of the Uboats.



Any good waves, caused by rough weather, are going to interfere with intake of air, to supply the diesels with 1 part of the necessary components for them to run... namely, air. That would also include causing an interruption in the outbound flow of the exhaust, as well.


Rough weather, would also end up, impeding forward motion, as well as the ability to stay on track... aka course, too.



This, was highly mentioned in Das Boot (the movie, not that sad sack tv series... :Kaleun_Sick: by the navigator... what was his name... Kriechbaum... when questioned by the Kaleun about what their positioning was... & Mentioned that due to the overcast conditions, the rough weather... of NOT being able to take a decent sun/star shot with the... sextant... to get a proper positioning report done.



Just... food, for thought... :shucks:





:Kaleun_Salute:


M. M.

[Huno41]

I do understand that the huge waves should somewhat make it harder to recharge, but the XXI takes around 4 hours somewhat from 60 to 100% power, meanwhile I ran the boat on the surface on 15m/s for over an entire week and still hadn't reached full charge :o
Only stopping because a plane had spawned.

Your eagle with its head looking to the left is the Party eagle of the Nazi party, dude. Are you implying to be a Nazi sympathiser or even a Neo-Nazi or what? Or was that eagle actually displaying an imperial eagle and you didn't know it any better? The heraldic eagle of the Roman/German Empire looks to the right. The NSDAP eagle to the left. Difference. Huge difference.
