So I want to use the ASDIC fix ONLY from steiblers patch

[ChaosDuck7]

But the instructions are super confusing to me. Can someone please guide me through how I apply JUST this one mod without doing anythign else? I am using GWX


I have my exe patched with .hsies patch already.

So I copy the patched .exe from the supplement mod folder into the steibler folder with the patcher. I run the patcher and it successfully patches. I use the option selector to ONLY select the ASDIC mod. I then transfer the gwx sensor file from the "Additional files folder" to the correct place.

Is that all that needs to be done if i only want to use the asdic mod? I dont have to do any of the text file appending for his other mods right?


Also, do I need to have both the original h.sie supplement mod and the new stiebler mod folders active via JGSME? Or do I just have to have the steibler one? And if I do, im assuming the steibler one is activated AFTER the h.sie one? This seems confusing because BOTH of the folders will have their own modified .exe in them. Its kinda weird to have to have both of them activated on top of each other. Thanks

I also noticed that stieblers patch folder chances a lot more stuff like dials, adds new planes, ships etc.

Stuff that im not interested in.


So I deleted everything in it except Data/Library/Sensors.dat and the sh3.exe, sh3sim.act and sh3sound.act



Is this a correct way of doing it?

I had exactly the same issue as you, I only wanted the shallow waters ASDIC mod from Stieblers mod.

I have MEP V5 installed with GWX

Just use Hsie's mod, and uninstalled Stieblers mod completely.

The file that needs modding is AIsensors.dat, located in the data\library directory.

I can't remember exactly what I changed in the file.

if you have MEP installed I could send you my file, which I have set up as a separate mod via JSgame. I'm not sure its ok to send it to you though, it is only a dat file, but I got it from another mod ( MEP ). Maybe someone else could chime in with an opinion on that.

Otherwise you could mod the file yourself with S3D editor. All the information you need is actually in the documentation for Stieblers mod.
Remember always backup the original first.

I personally placed it in my mod list after MEP and its fix.

I can't guarantee that this actually works, as I haven't tried it out. I haven't played for almost 12 months.

The place to try it would be Scapa Flow mission, or the east coast of the US in a type 9 as I recall it is also pretty shallow.

A bit of a long winded answer, but I hope it helps you or at worst steers you in the right direction.:hmmm:
