NYGM ENHANCED HARDCORE STEEL COFFINS EDITION - The Challenge

LATEST DOWNLOAD V7.8:https://www.mediafire.com/file/rfw2h4n9ki61bjn/NYGM_ENHANCED_STEEL_COFFIN_EDITION_V7.8.7z/file


Also available in my signature (spoiler). Readme pdf included in Documents for installation!

For planes encounters, I highly recommend to play this mod with no more than X256 time compression in day time, up to X1024 in night time for the starting years 1939/1942… and all time X256 for last years 1943/1945!
HIGHER THAN X256, YOU WILL NOT SEE PLANES

IMPORTANT: when playing any type IX career, to avoid the well known type IX cables misfit, you should upgrade your conning tower as soon as it’s available in bunker. In NYGM the cost is zero.

It is not an official megamod release, it is only my own game I have modded for myself… and I wished to share with the Subsim community :yep:
Beginners should pass the way because it’s Not for Your Grand Mother! (NYGM)

It's a full game download ready to play after giving all the exe included the Win7 compatibility & admins rights

———> Game already patched Hsie & Stiebler with selected options for best gameplay!

———> If you want to get the "ship spotted" annoucement even for friendly/neutrals when sailing TC X1024, make sure in your Time Compression settings, the Character Animation is set to 1024 (the same time compression as your maximum) and of course the Ennemy Ship (s) Detected is set to 1.

https://i.postimg.cc/XYpVdP7g/2.jpg

Others settings as « When in 3D View », « Sound Effects », or « Particle Rendering » are set to 32.

———> At first mission career launch, save your game in high seas and exit game…reload and continue mission. It should be good to avoid all well known SH3 saves bugs.

———> Always save from the Nav map! You can save anywhere anytime, even underwater!

———> Do not use any other mods than the ones provided! So many files have been modified to get precise gameplay …This way you won’t brake the game.

———> This megamod is requesting good PC…with good graphic card!

———> Best is only 1 megamod at a time installed on computer! This to avoid potential corrupted saves…

Fifi,

Question; not sure if Single Merchant Contact mod was available as a single down load. I take it that it is just a copy the Config/Contacts file with the change made to it?

This was a discussion long ago with RUB 1.45 regarding having this reincluded ;

See this post by Steibler ;

He outlines how to change the parameters for contacts in the Config/Contacts file for those who did not want this included. It makes things all the more challenging. :D

Again, thank you for providing new life for my old favorite megamod.

Yes, you are right, should be:

This campaign file was coming from Harbor_Traffic of NYGM!

Guys, easy enough to change with note pad :yep:

Well my single contact mod provide only a black square without any informations except the hour!

That is how I see any single contacts in NYGM, no tails and just the contact time showing. As time goes on the contact item fades away. Don't have it as a separate mod though.

As good as i understand it. I patched it a second time but with the same result. I'm using now the ARB WideGui and it works for the moment; all function included.

It was tested with DGUI, but all others GUI should work fine with my mod.
Just make sure the Commands_Eng allows Shift/Ctrl + D for deck crew, Ctrl + Page Up/Down for pennants, and Shift/Ctrl +U for UZO, Shift/Ctrl +V for DF antenna :yep:

FUMO 29 can’t be raised!
It’s fixed on front of conning tower.
You can activate it via the radio operator as usual.
It can detect ships only in front of U Boat (+- 10° each side).
You have to make full 360° turn to check everywhere :)

Maybe i patched the SH3 exe. in a wrong way:hmmm:

In case anyone else is having this problem despite following DGUIs patching instructions, I just found the cause and solution:

The reason why this happens is that there are mods on top of DGUI in JGSME's loading order that also have their own sh3.exe, in this case here it's EnvSimAct_10 if you used the EnvSimAct_10 folder from the NYGM package . So you might have applied the tychopatch to the sh3.exe in DGUI, but if the sh3.exe in EnvSimAct_10 is unpatched, the problem with the split map occurs because JSGME replaces DGUIs sh3.exe with EnvSimAct_10s sh3.exe

I have another problem, though. The commands for crew on deck, pennants etc don't work :( Any ideas why? Here's my mod list:

That's funny. It makes at least some of the commands work but it does weird stuff to the graphics. Everything becomes kinda blurry and low res. I know it doesn't make sense but it's true. I delete the cfg-files and everything's fine again.

[Fifi]

:doh: It’s not tied to graphics! :hmmm:

Of course EnvSim act doesn’t need exe...
There is an exe with the DGUI mod nonetheless.

[Anvar1061]

Hey Fifi, I think fumo-30 is kinda out of place too
This is a common problem where, when lowering the FuMO-30, it becomes lateral. Look for the solution at Anvart.

[Fifi]

It's fine at first until I retracted it with CTRL + R. Please take a closer look. Your mod is installed last by the way.

Oh, sorry, i misunderstood the mod! I thought about LSH3 or Ccom...here we are at NYGM :)

So it seems in NYGM the FUMO 30 is retractable, while in LSH3/Ccom not! (Probably to avoid the issue)
As i said, this antenna is NYGM stock, i didn’t change anything, so WITHOUT my mod it’s not working correctly too...even though everything seems to be correctly done by Stiebler :hmmm:

Don’t know yet where the problem is lying, so best for the moment is to NOT retract it :yep:

[FUBAR295]

There is no apparent fix for the correct automatic alignment when retracting, you have to make sure your timing is right when you lower the antenna.

This mod is for SH3 ver. 1.4b game with NYGM 3.6 mod.
Mod is adaptation GWX version for NYGM.
************************************************** ***********************************
This mod is a modification of the previous version (August, September 2009). The direction
of the antenna rotation is synchronous with rotation of the radar wheel and the radar beam.
In the lower position the antenna is securely fixed by additional animation (Stabl).
In this mod we can control raising and lowering Radar Antenna (FuMO 30...64) using new
StateMachine Class... and using next commands:
1) Turn on radar and raising antenna: Radar_one_sweep - key "R", Radar_continuous_sweep
- keys "Shift+R"...
2) Turn off radar and lowering antenna - keys "Ctrl+R"...
3) Radar_view - keys "Shift+A"...
4) Activate_radar - keys "Shift+K", Deactivate_radar - keys "Ctrl+K" and Radar_rotate -
keys "Shift+N" ...
5) Toggle_hydrophone - keys "Shift+H" and Rotate_hydrophone - "Ctrl+H".
Special feature of this mod the turn on/off handle (Radar_toggle_on_off) is not
interactive now ...
************************************************** **********************************
Installation:

Anvar1061,

Thanks, I think?:timeout: :oops: But that is how the mod is labeled and presented. :hmmm:

Anyway, as I originally said, there is no fix, you just have to time the rotation in the correct position before lowering. Thats how I manage it, plus I do not use the bloody thing as it is a ASW magnet as with all of the radar. It's bad enough they hone in on you with your radio signaling.

You have a keen memory for stuff on previous posts and threads, good fact checking. :salute:

Hello,


I can get everything to work but when I press the "N" key i get the time compression minimum 128 tab instead of the rec manual. I have clean installed 4 or 5 times now and re did the patches every time. As I mentioned everything else seems to work as expected.



I see in your mod order the DGUI is before the Stiebler patch. Where is the Tycho patched SH3.exe. Wouldn't the Steibler patch go before the Tycho patch ?



I have searched the forums and Google as well about the Hsie patch and the Steibler patch. What do you do with the Hsie Supplement to V16B1 when also using the Steibler4C_Addon_for_V16B1. I do not see anything in the readme's about this.


Any help would be appreciated.

[John Pancoast]

The Stiebler patches minimum tc patch is hardcoded to the game's shift-n key function when it is applied. Strange that only using the n key is doing that in your game.

Two ways to free up your recognition manual n key, assuming the Stiebler patch is affecting it.
- disable the tc patch in his mod.
- remap the manual to a different key.
I would try the first solution first just to make sure the Stiebler mod is the problem.
The tc fix is nice around leaving and returning to your home port; it's purpose is to keep the game from going to 1x tc every time your crew spots a ship or aircraft around your port.
But it's not essential.

To add to that, could always locate the key command in the... menu.ini (I think is where that would be located... I believe...:hmmm:) after pulling the mod out of activation, 1st... of course. :yep:

On locating it's posit in the guts of that... then clip in there (think is somewhere like 2/3 of the way into that commands sectioning...:hmmm:) a ";" insert... which, as I recall... short circuits its functioning at all... right there, in the line of where the "n" key is assigned that function. :hmmm:

As John pointed out, it's use was to short circuit getting all those ships sighted messages on exiting & returning to base. Not really needed, unless you really want to have it in there... totally up to you there, @Dieselglock... :yep:

If, I am off on the exact location'ing of that command structure... am sure 1 of the others, can correct that... but, think I am fairly sure of the location for it. But... don't hold Me to that... 1000% though... :shucks:

Hope this helps... :yep: :shucks:

Hello! Would you happen to know how I could change the key used for a command? 'All stop' is bound to a key I can not apparently use due to my keyboard layout not being English/US:

[Cmd171]
Name=All_stop
Ctxt=1
Str=1010
Key0=0xC0,C,"~"

I'm just not sure what I need to type in after Key.

The tilde key can be problematic due to various mods. I use this key for all stop, see if it works for you. It is the "vertical slash\forward slash" key.
Copy/paste over your current command, back up your current file first.

Well I feel rather stupid as the problem was I had the caps lock on which every time I pressed the N key it has the same effect as the shift N.:damn::damn::damn:

I was thinking something was strange; as I said Stiebler's mod affects shift-n vs just n.

Good find !

[yagura]

I use this key for all stop, see if it works for you.

Now the tilde key, which was not working at all, is the one giving 'All stop' successfully. :haha: Works for me!

Quick test with this mod seems really good, working with MaGui F so far! But what is the sound file playing as the bridge background, with the crew sneezing and coughing throughout? Would like to change it; I feel like I'm gonna catch whatever the crew has soon myself. :timeout:

That would be one of the Ambient sound files in the main sound folder. Maybe the skyline one.

Fifi, have you released your new NYGM mod? Can't find it.... :oops:
Oooops... sorry, it was for CCom12

[Dieselglock]

Fifi Enhancement NYGM is based on my mods for Ccom12 and LSH3, and should be activated last on top of all NYGM mods.
As example:


Last, the attack periscope max height has been reduced to fit correctly the pennants in harbor.
If you experience difficulties in rough sea to see something, you can either use the observation periscope (little higher) or order 1m higher for periscope depth!


:Kaleun_Salute:
I love this mod but would prefer the old attack periscope height and never use the pennants. Would somebody be able to help me mod the scope back to the original height setting?


Thanks in advance.

It would be in the *.sim file of the boat desired, in the objects folder. I.e., path game\data\objects\*.sim.
Open node #4 and you'll see the value to adjust. Stock NYGM uses 6.5 vs the 5 in the mod.
You'll need S3D or the Mini Tweaker. If you don't have one of those, let me know.
I changed mine for the same reason you state.

Yes, as shown by Dieselglock, everything is there.
You have to « explore » the gui if you are not familiar with it…

If you drag the little gold stuff up left screen, you have a nice clock that you can drag anywhere you want.
On the right screen, you can drag the chronometer (working)

It is recommended to drag down a little this chronometer to make the help tool of Nav map working correctly by the way.
(Ie to access the big ruler rose)
Etc etc

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

I totally agree with Dieselglock. :up::salute:
I did not know this mod it is thanks to Fifi who allowed me to try it...
the periscope lenses are simply magical.. this weathered effect of the bomb... as well as the finesse of the day and night graduations... congratulations diego_gut the feeling when attacking the periscope... with the water on the lens at speed of attack.. it's stunning realism.. i think it's due to the size of the reticle.. i really like it.... the horizon.. the weather.. works very well at night .. are very good all that is missing are the drops of water on the binoculars and the uzo in very bad weather as well as the skating .. that would be great ..
However, I noticed some things.
I sometimes had small "bugger" impacts on the hull of certain ships..
on the other hand when it sinks the time... or the attitude... they adopt is very good... there can also be some small artifacts of the square areas when the ship sinks the emulsion creating these things depends on the light weather so it's not very serious...
some torpedoes tended to be visible out of the water.
I unfortunately did not take care to note the weather but I will be more attentive to that.. but the weather was not very bad...

now I congratulate Fifi for allowing me to know this little gem..
as well as his fabulous work which continues to expand Bravo Fifi thank you
Sincerely Kal Maximus U669 :salute::salute:

[Fifi]

Thanks guys:up:

@Kal,
Drops on UZO & Binoculars are there!
You can see them in camera.dat, under effect node of UZO & Bino…
I have them when big waves!

I don’t know what you mean with bugger impacts on hull…?

When high waves, and torpedo set very high (2/3 meters) they can jump out of water between 2 waves :yep:
But that’s like in real life … I recall reading it in H.Werner book.

Alright Fifi...
but I did not bother the binoculars & uzo by 15m:s..
so if you say it's present so wonderful...
as for the torpedoes if you say it is that you read it in the archives .. so all is well then the chosen depth is also responsible as well as the weather. So we stay in the plausible very well ... Thank you for the update today it's impeccable I also prefer it ... As for the impact on ships as soon as it happens to me I will report to you. ..
Best regards Kal Maximus U669 :up:

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

Hello Fifi..
I had water on the lenses.. it depends on the conditions and the direction of the wind it's excellent...as you can see I'm enjoying it...everything is working perfectly for the moment the weather is working at the top. .. the torpedoes are perfect but I find that I have a lot of success... but I don't shoot just any old way.. "the gun" is "the magnetic" also works I shot at a different angle I knew failures which looks very good....
the bullet holes are very pretty...
the fires work well but are not spectacular.. the sinking boats I find their behavior very good... I even had a recalcitrant one forced to come back and finish it off with the deck gun. Cool what...
the destroyers are nasty try to play with you pay dearly...
Now I made a request to Diego for the filter I don't know what you think...?
But it would be nice to do it...!! even for the light of the navigation map.. the red filter at night would be good.. it brings out the map, the underwater relief in particular.. it changes the day.. I think it brings more to the gameplay... .ah yes no more "bugs" on the hull of ships during your last update "install fresh"
kind regards Kal Maximus U669:salute:

[Mad Mardigan]

Got everything set up & rolling. What I see thus far, which I shall admit, isn't far... as I am early on in a career, looks great.

Fabulous job on the enhancement to NYGM, Fifi.

:Kaleun_Applaud: :Kaleun_Cheers: :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

A couple of things, that I would like to ask about, respectfully... of course. :yep:

On the bino view... is it possible, to have this view, to be more in line with the view as is seen in using bino's... dual semi oval-circles, as the way it is now... kinda leaves/has Me feeling like, I am a pirate from back in the 17-1800's, looking through a spyglass, rather than looking through actual bino's.

The other thing would be is in regards to base localities... namely, Wilhelmshaven & Lorient.

The old base at Wilhelmshaven, is from the stock set up... & would love to see of that being updated/corrected... if at all possible.

With Lorient, its location, is a bit further out I believe, than where it was located, yet not deep into the bay channel, as Ubi shoved it in the stock set up.

Seeing as how the subs, are not as is with OneAlex's work, (using TKK's mod & this is good... :yep:) as I feel it cuts back on being too... resource heavy, that perhaps the Wilhelm/Lorient mod, could perhaps be looked at as being added in... with maybe the traffic in/out of them... being culled/dialed back a bit... to up the stability factor.

Just food for thought... :shucks:

Thanks for your hard work & effort in this. :yep: :up:

M.M., NYGM has Lorient moved out. If it is not in your install something is incorrect with the install. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem.

Ok, it is showing up in the enhanced, as sitting literally on the Atlantic coastal area... in stock, it was wayyyy deep into the bay channel & was a literal pain, to get out of the base.


Where Lorient Uboat pens were... was in actuality, in the mid point between those 2 examples. Which in that Wilhelmshaven mod I mentioned of... does have Lorient in place, where it should be.

good evening John ... MM
I think that all this is still under construction, there are a lot of little things that are still missing.. you have to see the designers Fifi.. diego..
especially in port areas .. but I find that the stability is very good the fast loading times ... let's wait to see what happens next ... we can always do better but already I really like this mod that I didn't know. ..now knowing a little Fifi he will focus on the technical aspect...
what is normal ... it is not to add things for nothing ...

Ah, ok. There was a well done Lorient mod, can't remember the author and I think it doesn't apply to NYGM as it was already done in that.
I think it was called New Lorient or something. Maybe give that a look and see if it helps.

I already tried this full interior … there is lighting and shadowing problem as we can see on your screen (mainly on new crew)
Also, I tried to open this dat to add crew for my full interior … files are so heavy my pc can’t handle it (can’t open 2 RR.dat together)
So my full interior will stay as it is.

Furthermore, my NYGM is actually 100% CTD free with no one corrupted save file and fast loading times. I even can save/load close to ships or convoy … or making full patrol without any save… I don’t want to break that, that’s the only megamod running so smoothly.

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

J'ai déjà essayé cet intérieur complet… il y a un problème d'éclairage et d'ombre comme on peut le voir sur votre écran (principalement sur le nouvel équipage)
De plus, j'ai essayé d'ouvrir cette donnée pour ajouter de l'équipage pour mon intérieur complet… les fichiers sont si lourds que mon pc peut t le gérer (impossible d'ouvrir 2 RR.dat ensemble)
Donc, mon intérieur complet restera tel quel.

the problem with you is that you don't like every modification I make..!!! under the pretext of stability or loading time ... out there and nothing here ... moreover these are not the interiors of wac5.0 ... then I have not finished trying them ... because for the moment I think that yours lacks life... whether it is in terms of sound is different... moreover Rowie's boats are really getting old.. the turm is really not pretty these models are oversimplify... now I'm not criticizing the work of Rowie who did this for stability at the time but these Uboats are too minimalist and outdated.. Artem's fabulous map.. everyone loves it... a watchmaker's work that exceeds all that we have seen so far and that is not happy to steal mods like most here and there... I offer it to you as an exclusive you tell me... oh I don't like it ..I wonder what you like...everything I submitted to you or idea was refused...

_there is a lighting and shadow problem as can be seen on your screen...
yes this is not new.. this must be able to be adjusted by removing the intensity of the light or changing certain parameters.. but at least the interior is more alive!!! yours and empty....the outside deck of the ship "I don't like it" no good tone is that bothers me from the beginning the original color was better let's say... the finish leaves something to be desired...the boats in the compilation sound much better and I'm willing to bet that with Diego's HUD it works...and it will look much better...

_So my complete interior will remain as it is.
do as you see fit "only fools don't change their minds" that's what they say it seems to me...I think it lacks life...now I don't have a problem backup and I save practically where I want .. no long loading either ..

now you offer graphic settings... I have asked you the question several times have been to check what I told you... About Nvidia inspector because it does not work as you say... besides I had you ask a few questions about various things ... question via pm but I didn't get an answer.. I only got your mod and that's all ...
I remind you here that your settings are not the exact golden rule
as you recommend .... each machine can ask for different things ...
the global settings have nothing to do with the personalize profile..
well I'm going to stop here... because there is time to say... for example with your Hsie choices..

[Dieselglock]

I think every bodies taste is different when it comes to these super mods. I am very happy with FiFi's work and enjoy it very much. In my opinion it is a very good adaption of a very good base mod that was designed to take the minimalist approach. I think that it has the perfect balance of enough eye candy to bring NYGM to current expected standards of what today's computers are capable of without deviating from the original intent of the base mod.



I normally play long careers starting in 39 and going as far as I can before getting sunk. I have found it to be probably the most stable of the super mods with Enhancements and have had no issues with ctd's or game saves ever.



Fifi helped me with my Nvidia graphics settings and at least on my machine the recommended settings made a huge improvement.


I for one am thrilled to play this version of the mod and am having a great time playing it.


These are just my personal opinions without any intent to upset anybody.

[U-190]

Superb :up:

[Randomizer]

Thank you, Fifi. Your Mod is great to look at, has been stable so far and all without a significant increase in NYGM's brief loading time. Win-win-win!

Well, it’s not like DD’s method, it’s a kind of … my method :haha:
The cook is still here, and that’s right he is not that good rendering … tried to do something, but not really satisfied for the moment.
I think he is very tall too.

For future update:
Reworked helmsman head and changed clothes:

U-Boat destroyed by depth charges at 205 meters depth... of 5 escorts chasing me in Jan 43...
Was too optimist to attack this convoy when flat sea :timeout:
Those escorts are damn good in NYGM, they drop DC where i will go...good anticipation… no other mod have escorts like this!

You need to go deeper. A lot deeper. :) Get down to 250 or so meters and get their fast, go at one knot and you'll escape.

Yes you are right … on other hand I’m trying to not cheat the game … I knew before this attack I should avoid it. The sea state was too flat! Very bad idea…

Actually iirc ace u-boat killer Donald Macintyre said asdic was not very effective in real calm seas so maybe don't consider it cheating the game. :D

Yes, but they have good hydrophone too :)

Yes, but they have good hydrophone too :)

He (and others too iirc) never used them as he considered them archaic technology. Grab a copy of his "U-Boat Killer" book. Interesting stuff.

[Levyathan89]

He (and others too iirc) never used them as he considered them archaic technology.

That seems a little silly tbh. The Germans made tests with hydrophones to check a U-Boat's noise emissions. It turned out a commander giving his orders in normal speaking voice could be heard from 2 nautical miles away (under ideal conditions i suppose) oO

Well, his/their record speaks for itself.

[Fifi]

Anyway… I always used to observe from external camera the escorts behavior (essentially for tests & screen shots purposes) and watch where and when they drop DC. Can tell you I never saw such smart behavior in any other megamod :yep:
I don’t know how Stiebler made this radical smart escort change.
It’s not the fact they know where you are after some pings (common to all megamods) but the anticipation of your path, dropping DC where you are AND where you are heading at same time ! :)
On side note, I also had 5 (!) guys on my ass… others games always gave me 2 or 3…

Hello Fifi
I am delighted with the roadmap that you have planned..
I confirm that there is a real atmosphere of attack..
I can tell you that destroyers are very intelligent...
my crew first spots a freighter from Denmark.. after being disappointed not to be able to shoot it down.. "funel smoke on the horizon" again I see two destroyers arriving by about 12 km I just took the time to watch for a few minutes.. when suddenly... they made the decision to go straight for me... the sea was choppy in 13ms clear weather around 4:00 p.m....
problem no bottom no more than 45 meters.. off the English coast... immediately I dive at maximum speed and try to get closer to the cargo ship so that its noise covers me. As well as his presence. Quickly reposition ready to attack.... These destroyers are coming straight at me....so he saw me from afar...immediately we behaved aggressively...I sank one....at the same now guess what...? the aviation that appears... they did not hesitate to attack me... even being not very far from the freighter. Then I avoid a few passes of grenades while suffering minor damage.. then.. I try to sink the last one... I have 2 torpedoes left then... an attack opening presents itself.. I attack... the first the torpedo went under the keel... the other one was worth it... he managed to avoid it... then he came back to make me pay for my mistake and I ended up at the bottom...
Thank you for your work where we feel a real adventure.. thank you for "SH3_jimimadrid_Torpedos" which works very well for the moment.. after some patrol is some preliminary test..
See you soon, Kal Maximus U669:salute::up:

Shallow water attacks are asking to be sunk, also fwiw, cargo ship noise doesn't cover one's boat/isn't modeled in SH3.
But it's still a good idea to use them for physical roadblocks against escorts.

Hi John very well thank you for these precisions... the worst in this story are the torpedoes.. 'the magnetic' passes below...'the pistol' he avoids it...what bad luck... weather conditions very bad .. unfavorable attack conditions ... difficult to make a decision ......:salute:

Yes, plus escorts have such a shallow draft anyway. Add in some waves and just their bouncing around in the waves helps them avoid being hit.
Better luck next time ! :up:

Reworked the environment...to match even closer original NYGM.
I backed up NYGM env files, and reworked them:
- To keep the clear weather 16Km spotting distance WITH ship appearing progressively in horizon mist (no 16Km clear weather mist in previous versions - the ship was suddently appearing all clear and visible)
- To get back Stiebler 3 different environment (the Arctic, Atlantic, Med)
There was only one for the 3 zones previously (as many megamods BTH)
- To get correct moon size & sun

Thank you guys :up:

Also new environment is perfect for surface nights attacks… sneaking carefully through the escort shield, fire and escape full speed giving smaller silhouette :03:

Arctic nights (North Sea, Baltic, Norwegian Sea, Iceland seas etc) are quite clear now when no overcast clouds.
Atlantic nights as well, but nevertheless darker.
Same for Mediterranean.
When some moon, no problem to spot ships into the binoculars.
And when high waves, spotting distances shorten a bit :03:

Hi Fifi, I got my hands on yours a bit.. all is very good... but haven't gotten very far yet... you thought I wouldn't like it... remember you told me via pm..well I find it really very good...bravo
You know Fifi what would make me really happy... is for us to rebuild the wooden lathing in the "turms" where it's needed... I've always found it from another time... as well as the steps foldable legs.. put them a little better
is to rework the colors of the bridges on the 7 I know that you are a super sharp modder you prove it to us several times especially on a project like Dark Water...so I know that it is in your ropes now I understand that you are not not available to people here.. but Fifi I don't think it would increase the Fps or very little.. maybe a future specification.. who knows..?
yes Fifi thank you for the details on the hull... but here the skins come from Onealex... but the mod to play is that of toyotagt86 enhanced GWX...

Ohh… the coat of arm (frontal emblem of VIIB?) can be easily deleted with S3D…
No problem.
In fact I let it voluntarily cause I kind of like it …

To get correct emblems with GUC now, you have to choose the singles ones, not the doubles (doubles were for old Ccom12 sub - I left them)

As for the emblems, it's very good Fifi, it will avoid unnecessary questions...
I use those of Cornus...
now this vernier I find that it tarnishes the image as well as your work.. impression not finished... could you put the crown with the graduations it would really make the talk aesthetically cleaner... especially since we spend time on deck. ..(Fifi is going to kill me I think...)

As for what you’re asking on your picture, I will do it for next update too :up:
But slow on asking! :haha: I’m old and tired …

I'm amazed how Stiebler could do this:
Sometimes (depending where you hit & depending what the ship is carrying) the ship instantly explode and brake in 2...those don't have any survivors cause no lifeboats appears!

I believe Der Teddy Bar did all the work for the NYGM ship sinking mod. He even created a program he used to make it easier to do iirc.

[Fifi]

They were really good modders :yep:

For next update, there will be new wooden life boats (better looking) and probably new smoke effect when ships half destroyed (heavy smoke) in addition of what’s already existing… still testing :03:

Yeah, have to fix that, but don’t know how yet…

[Jeff-Groves]

If those are land objects placed by Mission Editor then the height needs adjusted.

[Fifi]

Yes, and only one instead of 5 at this place!
There are also some others places that need to be fixed… like Kiel entrance and harbor …

Also I changed them for better ones! (From Ccom12)

[Texas Red]

I experienced something odd yesterday when I finished my first patrol.
My patrol was relatively successful, as shown here:
https://i.postimg.cc/FsLSmP87/Screenshot-2022-06-07-123429.png
However, when I look at my log in the office, it shows this:
https://i.postimg.cc/g2r2mrn4/problem.jpg

I have no idea why this would be happening. I haven't experienced anything like this yet so I'm stumped.
Earlier in the patrol, my game crashed as I was navigating about 200 nautical miles or so away from Loch Ewe. Maybe that had a factor in it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have already seen that :yep: (in Ccom12 but not anymore cause I know why now)
Seems it was your very first patrol … and you have to do it without any sub changes in equipment when you start (to avoid the zeroing kills)
About the CTD, it’s probably adding troubles for this issue too.
Now the CTD is not normal, NYGM is usually solid rock.
I even can save close to convoys/ships/harbors without CTD when reaload! :yep:
But avoid playing more than X1024 time compression !
Best is X256 to keep the planes threat during day time, and X512 or X1024 during night time…SH3 is a game of patience :yep:
Hope this helps…

It will come, yes.
But not right now, cause still plenty to do and furthermore have to test it!
Adding objects to the game is time consuming, I have to check each one to see the right placement etc… hence launching test career each time …
Imported from GWX, I have to check also if those objects are existing in NYGM, with the correct class name etc… :03:
There are some differences with GWX.

I know what you mean, because I have the same "problem" with SH5, when I edit files there.

[Fifi]

Also added a bit more harbor traffic to be more alive…
Nothing as much as some others well known mods, but enough to my taste.
Anyway, not spending that time around harbors :03:

Are depth charge disturbances in this mod?

Is the Allied sonar performance historically accurate throughout the war, or is it upgraded to later war even early on?

I’m thinking of getting started on German U-boats. I want the most accurate to life mod I can get.

1. Depth charge disturbances aren't modeled in Sh3. There are mods for such, no idea how accurate they are.
2. Yes in terms of better equipment, etc. It's use and efficiency isn't modeled as well as it could be but no game is perfect.

[FUBAR295]

There is a mod done by TDW (The Dark Wrath) which was used in SH4 and he attempted to adapt it to SH3. It result in CTD on starting up if you had been depth charged prior to your save. It was not compatible with SH3 and no solution was found.

If you are interested in looking at the mod here is a link to it :

https://www.mediafire.com/file/jwkgbzxfdzpykb2/TDW_DC_Water_Disturbance_v1_0_SH3.7z/file

It did work well except for the issue with the Save, though.

Good hunting,
FUBAR295

[John Pancoast]

Here's (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=5340) another one that doesn't produce ctds if interested.
