Fifi,not sure if this goes against the hardcore aspect of NYGM but you might take a look at this mod that simply makes flags brighter.Just now I was doing some night attacks with it and its superb but it also fixes the issue I have that in broad daylight a flag is hard to see when the sun is at its back.A compromise is needed and off I went in search and a 2009 gem was found in a mod by Rubini and Diving duck(who found the emisive property) in flags.dat.

Here is new torpedo impact fire column: https://www.mediafire.com/file/c5w74hu4e6s3i3u/Torpedo_Impact_Fire_Column.7z/file

The effect is lighter than before, and should not give CTD when impact.
On my computer it is CTD free using both ARB & DGUI, even in convoys where it needs memory.

Activate it anytime on top of Stand Alone.
Let me know if you still have issue with it :03:

I will not use the files you provided … main reason is they are more than double heavy than mine :yep:
Using others mods & mods & mods on top of mine, no surprise to get troubles at certain time …
Spending so much time to lighten files to avoid memory issues … quickly ruined :ping:

BUT… I can adjust my flag.dat & flagS.dat to get same result :yep:
Will do it for next update.
Keep in mind that in real, Kaleuns had great troubles to identify flags at night!

Yes,of course.The link I posted is for GWX iirc and is missing many nation flags and as you pointed out is heavy in size.And you can fine tune it it to your night darkness settings for optimal effect.As for it being optional as asked above,I agree but I feel that if not overdone many will just use it.:hmmm:

EDIT;also I wonder if cutting all flags saturation in half before tweaking the emisive setting as they already appear over saturated and brightness will make them even more..

Fifi

04-19-23, 03:53 AM

After testing, I think I will leave it as it is.
Emissive=30 & emissive=50 is unrealistic and Arcade to me (furthermore that flags are not that pretty)

Maximum emissive you can put to keep some realism (if we can talk of realism) is =10…

Using SD3 it takes 10mn to change both files flags emissive, so if you feel (or need) to do it you can adjust it to your liking … but as everyone’s liking is different … and everyone’s monitors settings are different … best is to keep what we have :03:

Did you try cutting saturation down first.Brightening stuff "I think" increases its saturation.Either way Ill do it on my own if need be.

Hey Fifi
there seems to be a problem with the impacts on the hull of the Uboat..
when I reloaded my save the hull was new again..:ping:
the integrity of the hull did not move 100%.. otherwise nothing else for the moment.. see you soon :salute:

It is a known SH3 (and probably 4/5) bug … saves never reload external damage.
But interior damage, yes (broken glass etc)
That’s been said, the hull % damage is always kept :yep:
Best is to accomplish the whole patrol without saves (no problem with NYGM):D but it’s not always doable with our play time.

About damages, I know sometimes when you have destroyed periscopes, you still can use them … but not always! That’s also a bug I cannot solve.

We all have different monitors and the amount of brightness and black crush is staggering.I spent 1K dollars on mine as I like a very dark game that you can still see stuff in the darkness.My next purchase will be an Oled with its ultimate dark and blackness levels.This pic shows what an Oled brings in regards to black crush.Left side the rocks are all black while right side you can make details out.
https://blog.solidsignal.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/crushed.png

IMO this should be an individually done mod.As Fifi points out it "should":D only take 10 mins.I wanna be able to see a flag at 500m at noon but I understand on other peoples homes and monitors this is probably not an issue.

I don't think it's the instructor's fault very often it's the people who don't know what their equipment is used for...or better yet they don't know what they're buying...and regret after an explanation...:D:D

These flags are perfect!! do you believe that the German submariners saw flags in the middle of the dark and overcast night, I doubt they had to take risks by approaching their target, which is more logical, you will agree..:D

Now there are few.. backup questions we have been asked you have not answered.. it would be good to stick to what is happening here no when do you think?:ouais:

I know full well about monitors and I returned 4 back to local Microcenter from bad visuals.As for this brighter flags mod...where did I ever say that we should be able to see flags "in the middle of the dark and overcast night"?? On a clear night though well yeah I think we should see flags when close enough.

My flag issue started when I noticed the sun is behind a flag in daylight with clear skies and "I" cant see it.So I will adjust the emissives to get better effect in daylight and "clear" night too and you can stay with it as it is Kal.

As for backup questions? WHat question is this?:hmmm:

I am not doing a career right now just single missions.That is why I was constantly wondering what you meant.

As for that pic....you would never get so close to see a flag like that aboard a submarine.Do a pic in daylight clear skies thru a 6X scope at 1Km and taken from the opposite side from where sun is shining aka when the flag is in shadow.

But you know what...this is moot as you like your settings as is.I feel your making me out to be a scene stirrer here Kal.I posted a mod that Fifi may like and he tested it out and said honestly that he finds it garrish.I am ok with that and moved on.:hmmm:

The flag is visible but just a bit too dark when its in shadow so I cant see it.Easily fixable and I'll get around to it when I get a chance.That said,this is Fifi's thread on NYGME and out of respect I don't want to make anymore inroads into it.:salute:

For those using DGUI hardcore gui, to send correct convoy heading (if you don't know):

https://i.postimg.cc/X77XTfMh/SH3-Img-20-4-2023-17-12-32-304.jpg

- 1) unlock tdc with button (must be blue)

- 2) now this dial can turn...select correct convoy heading

- 3) ask your radio guy to send contact report (with still tdc unlock!)

- 4) after, don't forget to re-lock your tdc with button!

- 5) you can verify your message sent with the heading you gave

Telling this because i figured out the good dial to turn not long ago! :haha:

No Kal, in the last 2 nights been busy, so I've only put about 2 hours into SHIII (NYGM Enh. v3.8). I'm on my way to AO59, but before I get there, I'm going to spend some off the North Coast of Poland or whats left of it. I'll keep my eye out though.

I do have a Non-Mod, Historical question for you or actually anyone is welcome to answer. This early in the war, 16 September 39. I noticed a lot of German traffic, mainly patrol boats. It's hard to believe that Poland tried to save what naval assets that they had remaining with a Naval "Breakout". With several choke points in the Baltic and entering the North Sea, how did they think they were going to pull this off ? And how sucessful were they ? I mean not only the choke points, there were several German Naval Bases close by, Not to mention Keil, Their task was very difficult to put it mildly. Thanx

That’s a good question I don’t know…
I think Polish did the best they could with their poor equipment, but soon as Hitler had the idea to invade them, their fate was settled anyway.
I know they had some small land success on some rare points, but on sea… dunno.

Great!

Could you add a little mod for "hats ever look"? There was a mod for that compatible with GWX. I don´t know if it works with FiFi NYGM.

And: Could you add an optional mod for different clothes for the crew on deck? Those black clothes with eagles and swastikas look so "Waffen SS" to me. Pascal made a mod (years ago) for a more informal look of the deck crew, Das Boot movie style.

All working fine with 3.8, starting campaign from Wilhelmshaven.

When destroyed, deck gun should still be there… but destroyed looking.
As the damage decals on hull disappearing on loading saves, destroyed deck gun could be the same … dunno, never tested on saves.
If not appearing destroyed looking, it’s a bug… like destroyed periscopes you still can use…and like few others SH3 bugs unfortunately we have sometimes… we have to live with them and enjoy what we have :03:

After testing again, it works as it should:

With hats ever I mean a mod for the crew using their hats forever, on deck and inside the boat. I will try an old mod for that. Also for the crew clothes. I'll post if they work with this supermod.

If you want the crew to always have hats, it's a simple .cfg file edit. Just replace the line "HasHelmet=No" to "HasHelmet=Yes" in the crew.cfg file(s) you want changed.
This can also be done in the same files in a career folder.

Some crew clothes discipline will not hurt :)

:Kaleun_Salute:

:D That is why I want to put hats in all the crew (also because Prussian discipline). The crewmen look better with the hats :Kaleun_Wink:

You can made an optional mod for the hats, with the crew.cfg changed.

Best regards and thanks for all the work and help!

Because I believe it was less lightened than what we have (to what I have read)

this thread is intended to identify errors on the mods.. offer suggestions to the creator..

Load in to the typeII interior and then scan the mouse around and the light behind the OBS scope will look normal and then suddenly the light will turn into a block shape where you can see the edge.

Fixed this bulb transparent square issue in type II :up:
Had to deactivate the first bulb in the torpedo room up the door...just because it's at the limit of torpedo room and sonar room, and give side effect.
In fact it was not only one square, but all of the torpedo room reflecting inside stock interior.
This torpedo room was added, and the lighting too (not by me)...that's the problem of modding.

PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD VERSION 3.9. IT IS FIXED VERSION FOR TYPE II INTERIOR!

Hey Jerry my best regards..:D
Did you attack the Polish submarine...?? if so what do you think of the resistance of this one?? :salute::salute:KM U669

Got a question for you guys ... This is from post #1528, and has sparked my interest in the Polish Navy's submarines. I didn't even know Poland had submarines. So anyway, I did a Google search and found an artical in Wikipedia about the "ORZEL". I know it departed (escaped) Tallinn on Sept 18th 1939. I just happen to be patrolling grid AO59 at the current moment, which is Sept 18th 1939 too. Is this sub scripted in NYGM HC v3.9 ? If it isn't then, I learned something new and it's no big deal. If it is, then I'm gonna find her. Since this being Sept 18,39 already, Tallinn is to far to go and the "ORZEL" could easily slip past me. I'm in a Type IIa with 3 torpedos and about 50-60% fuel remaining and my speed is not all that great. Where I'm at currently the "ORZEL" could also easily sneak past via AO55 and since AO59 has kinda dried up, I did get a Polish Merchant early on in this patrol, but it's only friendly and neutral contacts now, I was thinking of sailing west to the choke point of AO76 and hang there until I'm almost out of fuel or out of torpedos, and see what comes along, I might get lucky. Well anyway I hope the "ORZEL" is in the game or my plan was just an idea that sounded good at the time.

There is/was a mod that included the Orzel. Here is the link for the Subsim thread ...

https://subsim.com/radioroom//showthread.php?p=976501

I never personally came across this in game.

Come to think about it, I do not recall seeing a whole lot of Polish shipping in NYGM. Kind of sparse, maybe? LSH3 has whole fleets of Polish merchant shipping making their way back to Poland. :o Ran out of torpedoes before I got to the Atlantic. :doh: But that's another story. :yep:

the model of this submarine used is "Russian" Class Shchuka and not Polish but here use for scenario
all at least it seems to me... this submarine should have been completed with a single torpedo because here the resistance is clearly exaggerated...:har::har:

Kal, I did re-engauge the sub (Shchuka Clas, maybe the Orzel). I fired 2 torpedos. 1 hit and blew most the entire Bow section, below the water line off. The 2nd missed the stern by a hair. That intense damage didn't seem to have any effect on him and it pulled away from me like i was standing still. I'll play this again at some point. I figured it would have slowed down a bit. Thanx for your input.

Nothing fancy … just new destroyer model (NDDJ class), new skins for some ships, type II interior glitch fixed (remains one I can’t), ennemy submarines prone to be destroyed with one torp, few others minors adjustments …

Hi Onee,
Never ever saw this! :o
For sure it’s an issue on your side.…
Make sure all your exe are win 7 compatible (SH3, Jsgme, Commander, Commander Jsgme ect)
Make sure the mods inside Commander are activated too.
Else I don’t know … could be a graphic card problem, or memory problem … maybe … maybe not. :hmmm:
Might be worth a complete fresh install, according to readme pdf instructions to the letter :yep:

Black sky is certainly due to a problem of compatibility between scene.dat and SkyColors_Atl.dat (data/Env folder). Especially the 3D models of the sky (SkyColors_Atl.dat) and the fog (scene.dat). Also the sky configuration (index) depending on the sun angle (scene.dat : Node - Sky --> EnvSim --> Sky).

Also the sky configuration (index) depending on the sun angle (scene.dat : Node - Sky --> EnvSim --> Sky).

So I took the scene.dat and SkyColors_Atl.dat right out of the 7z file

I replaced the file and running with Cmdr, once CTD occurs in carrier mode loading, then the next time it runs, it's fixed with black sky
I think something is corruption the files

Next version will have wonderful new German destroyers (34/36 class) from VonDos team, as well as new settings for U-Boot depth.

Was fed up with the fact we always can escape depth charges diving at 200m in straight line staying unpunished :yep:
Now we will still be able, but at some costs … and keeping this depth for too long or a bit deeper should result in bad damages :D
If we want to keep 100% hull rate, and all our gauges intact (without some flooding) we’ll have to stay above the depth gauge red line!
Once starting to get damages below red line (with Commander random crash depth option activated can be any depth below red line) you couldn’t stay forever at this depth … meaning the more you stay the more you’ll have damages! (Hull percentage will slowly decrease at first then accelerate when loosing more and more percentage) hence you’ll have to recover a better depth (in the yellow line) to stay underwater no more damaged (the more damages you took, the higher you will have to recover to stay safe again) :ping:
This is the only turnaround I found to stay in the depth charges damages possible radius… it’s just a compromise … as always with this game :03:
Type II could have damages before the red line! (As in real) … Watch out when the CO will announce « you’re diving too deep!» (soon after first damages should occur). But again it’s random, due to Commander crash depth option.
This should be more challenging to keep NYGM spirit !

From memory, it’s a section of G3F in menu.ini…(don’t recall what number precisely)
You need to compare this ARB file section with your own file section and add the missing lines in your file. Don’t forget the correct tga corresponding in menu/gui/layout…
And of course re number the below sections! (Cause you added lines) It will be very long renumbering all the G3F below… it’s a huge section!

NEW STEEL COFFIN VERSION V4.1 IS OUT!

Bunker save compatible :03:

In this new version, Steel Coffin never fit so well his name :D
New challenge for those who like challenges...

- Added new VonDos type 1934 German destroyer (thanks VonDos Team!)

- Added progressive damage when crossing depth gauge red line, to turnout the lack of very deep depth charges explosions. This way no more travelling for ever at 200m completely unpunish...(see yellow post above for more explanations). It's a compromise, as always in SH3. Don't tell me a German U-Boat CAN safely dive deeper!
Anyway you always can deactivate it via the Commander random crash dive option...

- Added Biscaye British sub hunters from 1943/01/01 to end of war, to better fit the progressive French harbors blocus.

- Fixed the Flower corvette hull glitch blinking

- Minor adjustments

Something which is not simulated in SH3 is that the british depth charges didn't "work" deeper than 600 feet (183 m). In practice, some german commanders went to 800 (244 m) or even 850 (259 m) feet to avoid DC...

... according to this video (at 13:53) :

So, a way to simulate this is to limit the ASDIC range to 183 m, but this is historically wrong... :damn:

I’m finally not that satisfied with my last compromise in the last version :hmmm:
That’s why I have changed things again about depth, and made multiple adjustments & tests to close better accuracy for next update.
Furthermore I found out that in NYGM, later in war (in 42 for instance) depth charges can sometimes explode much deeper than what I thought!
Was destroyed once in career close to American coasts at 200m depth… so they can explode at this depth :yep:

I don't recall after all this time, but most likely via the depthcharges files in the library folder.

Mister_M

05-28-23, 02:56 PM

I don't recall after all this time, but most likely via the depthcharges files in the library folder.

In DepthCharges.sim, in the amun_DepthCharge controller, there is the parameter called "detonate_depth" and it's set to 25m, so I think it's the minimum depth for the explosion (to prevent blowing the stern of the ship which threw the DC). There is no parameter for the maximal depth.

Maybe some other file then. Perhaps do a search for the earlier threads on the topic, maybe they'll yield some answers.

1) Here: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WAMBR_ASW.php

Mark VII (standard DC of the first three years of WW2):
Settings = 300 feet (91 m) max, later units 500 feet (182 m) (I think they mean 600 feet)

So I think this is a main tactical point that should be represented in game, in a way or another! :yep:

2) By the way, interesting reading here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_charge and here: https://www.quora.com/How-was-the-depth-adjusted-for-World-War-2-era-depth-charges

3) Also, I'm searching for the exact dimensions of the DC cylinder, but I can't find them. Anyone?

Mister_M

06-03-23, 03:27 AM

A compromise could be this one (with H=hydrophone, and N=ASDIC):

- for destroyers escorting a convoy: max depth detection for H and N limited to the max detonation depth of the DC (so 91 or 182 meters); the advantage of this is that the destroyers won't attack you for hours, which is historically correct because they had to return to the convoy to protect it.

- for destroyers of a hunter killer group: historical max depth detection for H and N.

You have to duplicate the devices in Sensors.dat/sim/zon. Then, to choose between the two options in the mission editor, just do as for the aircrafts (choosing between different bombs payloads). For this, you have to change the .cfg and .eqp files of a sea unit.

Then, you can mix between the two options for a same convoy, if some destroyers are specifically provided to chase a u-boat until destruction, which was a late-war tactic when there were enough destroyers to do this...

Hello there everyone,

Long-time player of SHii and SHiii GWX - I've recently moved to NYGM and Fifi's excellent enhancement. Really appreciate the work done by the mod teams over the years - thank you!

I've experienced a couple of issues - first one is a CTD : I'm currently shadowing a convoy just off of Ireland, and wanted to ask BdU for assistance. The button in the main radio station (key m) to send a contact report does nothing, while asking the radio man directly to send a contact report causes a CTD.

Edit: I'm using 'stock' Steel Coffin 4.1:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Silent Hunter 3\MODS]

NYGM Tonnage War Enhanced – Stand Alone Version

Secondly, the shortcut for the UZO does not work. I've looked at the commands.cfg file, which has the key config ignored:

[Cmd17]
Name=UZO_camera
Ctxt=1
;MnID=0x3F020014
;Key0=0x55,,"U"
Page=0x28000000,3718
GoBack=Conning_deck_camera

Assuming this is due to the conflict with raising the UZO with shift+U? If I wanted to remap the key, is it just a question of removing the ';'s and altering the hex value / "<alt key here>" of the Key0? I'm not sure about he MnID here, hence my query.

Thank you

Assuming this is due to the conflict with raising the UZO with shift+U? If I wanted to remap the key, is it just a question of removing the ';'s and altering the hex value / "<alt key here>" of the Key0? I'm not sure about he MnID here, hence my query.

Thank you

Your CTD with messages is not normal. Can’t tell you why you have that.
I always send contact reports and patrol reports without any issues for years now.

The UZO shortcut is not working intentionally … you have to raise it on deck before and click on it :03:

First of all, thank you Fifi for ALL your work improving NYGM.

:Kaleun_Salute:

I have just recently installed your latest version, and am enjoying it.
I hate to say it, but I have been experiencing the same problem as LaSurga.

I shadow a convoy, and when I hit the send contact report I experience an INSTANT crash.

I went back to an earlier save and tried again, with the same results.
I made approximately 10 attempts.
This is not a complaint, just reporting in sir !

Thank you.

Very hard to track down something I don’t have… but will try anyway… think I have a suspect that could be the culprit :03
Next version 4.2 should come soon… maybe tomorrow.
But should not be saves compatible.

Then, you can mix between the two options for a same convoy, if some destroyers are specifically provided to chase a u-boat until destruction, which was a late-war tactic when there were enough destroyers to do this...

But if some destroyers can detect you, maybe those which can't will also be able to attack you. :hmmm:

Fifi, if you have some time, I have a little flaw for you. Once I pressed D (dive) the boat will dive to around 10m and stay there (VIIb & VIIc). It will not continue beyond that point. As far as I tested it, it seems to be related to the .zon file.

Not a big deal and I hope you can re-produce it.

This update is wonderful and super, super stable! I appreciate the addition of removing the shoulder boards and ranks from crew!

My only hope at this point is that some day you'll consider adding the historical port layouts - while leaving port is a minor part of the game the proper ports and gates add so much more immersion.

So, you were no more able to spot any ship or aircraft for the return while on the surface?

Good question :up:
Watch tower destroyed = no more watch crew on it… I couldn’t drop any crew in the tower slots, but in SH3, ships & planes were still detected! But not with speech announcements …
That must be why Stiebler gave so much hit points to the watch tower… he probably experienced same thing :yep:
So next update, I’ll give back watch tower stock NYGM hit points, to avoid this SH3 curiosity :03:

In think the CapZap version of ARB, as an optional, could be a great addon.

It is for GWX OneAlex, but I think you can adapt it for your version of NYGM.

Ive been playing this wonderful mod for a while and man this is the best mod if you want to do surface attacks against convoys! Even during 1943(early part of 1943 of course) you can still attempt surface attacks against convoys.

Now, there are also several feedbacks as well

First, Ive found that if you shoot superstructures of any merchants with your AA gun, it will go down without taking any torpedos or deckguns

Second, whenever a merchant goes down within the convoy, the convoy slams its break and slows down too much which is a bit unrealistic imo

Well thats all I need to say about this mod since all the rest is awesome

P.S GUC2 with some sensor patches run smooth with this mod as well

I agree for the AA gun, it will be adjusted.
Convoys speed droping is SH3 hard coded, can't do anything...

Changed the planes loadout for the British Archer...more accurate than American planes :03:

I have adjusted the U-Boat AA efficiency; in my tests, a lot more complicated to sink cargos with it now. Small ships as fishing boats etc, are still sink able :up:
Firing at cargos superstructures like masts, funnels, lifeboats etc doesn’t affect cargo flotation.

All the above will be available next update (don’t know exactly when).

Hey Fifi thanks for your work once again! Just one more suggestion(not so important haha),I think the tonnage values for medals should be slightly corrected. During ww2, the Knights Cross was given to commanders who sank over 100000t of shipping and the Oak leaves were added once they surpassed 200000t(many times the tonnage sunk were overestimated so there are many commanders who were given Oak leaves while sinking below 200000t of shipping). I know I can correct this myself by changing numbers in the Basic file but Im fearing I might break my career by doing this, having this changed in the first place in the next update will bring more realism to this amazing mod I think.

In my PC I use the mod with the full interiors of the previous versions. I don´t have problems (no CTD), but I don´t know if in these latest versions the interiors could modify sensors, etc.

I¨ll download it now and I´ll test it.

Bonsoir Master :salute:
L idee des skins fantastique j aime la variation sur les cibles cela casse la monotonie excellent..
J ai aimer la remarque faite par @Werner4voss c est une chose a laquelle je n avais pas fait attention puisque je ne tire pas sur les navires avec le canon anti aerien ce qui est plutot logique non..!! Mais quand est t il avec le canon de pont et les obus Armour-piercing et les obus HE que pouvez vous dire...??? bien sur les obus AP doivent etres tirer sous la ligne de flottaison pour une efficaciter maximal..Mais un incendie a bord peu tres bien envoyer par le fond un navire...lol
Ironie du sort etre sur l eau et perir dans un incendie..explosions de cargaisons ou de la chaudiere.. la soute a carburant...etc... Une idee a creuser maitre Fifi quand pensez vous??? Bien sur dans la mesure du possible cela va s en dire..
Maintenant le mods et une perle..un des meilleurs de SH3 actuellement vraiment Fifi un "MUST" vous etes incroyable..tous les mods que vous avez corriger d ailleurs depuis plusieurs annee que je vous suis.. vous ete un "vieux routier" du modding quelle talent.. merci.. Les personnes comme vous sont rare ici..
Mais ça vous le savez deja...Amicalement Kal Maximus U669...:salute:

Good evening Master
I liked the remark made by @Werner4voss, it's something I hadn't paid attention to since I don't shoot at ships with the anti-aircraft gun, which is quite logical, no..!! But when is it with the deck gun and the Armor-piercing shells and the HE shells what can you say...??? of course the AP shells must be fired below the waterline for maximum efficiency..But a fire on board can very well send a ship to the bottom...lol
Irony of fate being on the water and perishing in a fire..explosions of cargo or the boiler..the fuel tank...etc... An idea to dig master Fifi when do you think??? Of course as far as possible this will be said..
Now the mods and a pearl..one of the best of SH3 currently really Fifi a "MUST" you are incredible..all the mods that you have corrected for several years that I have been following you..you are an "old hand" what a talent for modding.. thank you.. People like you are rare here..

I think there is plenty thing remaining to be done :D

Actually I found a new way to lighten MFM ships tgas without any loss of quality.
Gain is quite substantial …
Also corrected many ships without any draft value in sim.dat :o By the way, this could be related to spawning bug where ships are half sunk in harbor… maybe …
And others minors finding also adjusted :up:

All masts buggy reflection is also corrected by the way, as well as all ships draft, mass & speed… many drafts were set too deep for those MFM ships (in my opinion anyway)
All text files for museum corrected too.

Still plenty to do :ping:
