As a Christmas gift too you all, (and as a matter of coincidence), 0.3a is now available for download! We've added a number of new models, fixed some nasty bugs, fixed the English localization for 1984 USSR, and even added some Christmas spirit on the load screen!
To install this variant properly you will need to delete the previous version of the dotmod folder!
Special thanks for 0.3a to our new little group of Beta Testers: Cmdr SCF_01, General_Dave_1, Mapashelas, RedFor best for, trenchgun91, and 🌸杏奈女帝🇯🇵

The Roc Guppys Ones Still In service
Jan 23, 2017#1
Article:
Taiwan’s Ancient Submarine Will Reach an Astounding 80 Years in Service: Another lease on life for the World War II-era ‘Hai Shih’
by ROBERT BECKHUSEN
Life expectancy varies between ships, but U.S. submarines generally stay in service for around 20 or 30 years or so. Taiwan, however, is planning for one of its submarines to reach age 80.
On Jan. 21, 2017, Taiwan announced that the 72-year-old SS-791 Hai Shih, or Sea Lion, will receive a retrofit allowing it to continue sailing until 2026. The $19 million retrofit will be to improve the hull and the diesel vessel’s “navigational elements,” Taiwan News reported.
Eight-zero. That’s a remarkable lifespan for a submarine, and the Hai Shih is already the oldest submarine still in service with a navy anywhere in the world — she looks like she traveled decades into the future through a wormhole.
Before she was Hai Shih, she was the U.S. Navy submarine USS Cutlass, a 1,570-ton Tench-class vessel that launched on Nov. 5, 1944 during World War II. Her wartime service was brief, and Cutlass didn’t reach her first patrol zone near the Kuril Islands until the day after Japan capitulated.
When the United States sold her to Taiwan in 1974, it sealed up Cutlass’ 10 torpedo tubes — six forward and four aft — and she became the Hai Shih. Very little has changed internally, apparently, but she still works.
A few years ago, researchers with the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association took a tour of the ex-Cutlass. “It was absolutely stunning how little has changed,” they wrote. “Equally stunning, is the high grade of operational condition.”

Thank for the update, cannot wait to download it when I get home. I love the old diesel electric boats. Just a side note, the test depth on the old Balao and Tench class subs was limited to 400 feet during WWII due to the limitations of the bilge pumps. The subs themselves could dive significantly deeper and would routinely go to 600 feet or deeper to avoid attacks. The crush depth of the thick skin Balao and Tench class was estimated to be at 900 feet with the 35lb (7/8 inch) HTS steel used in the hull.

A couple of observations on the Guppy models. On the Guppy 2 the radar mast does not raise at all. On the Guppy 3 the radar mast raises less than half the distance shown in you pics. I fI increase the mast height any higher than 0.052 the textures of the mask disappear and it makes it look like the mast is hovering over the sub.

Happy (nearly) Easter from the team at DotMod! Version 0.3b is now available to download. We've added even more new models, tweaked the behaviour of torpedoes, improved wakes, fixed a few more bugs, started repairing the Mac OS compatability, added some new functionality to the campaign system, and added a WIP Royal Navy Campaign for your feedback.
https://github.com/DotModGroup/ColdWaters-DotMod/releases/tag/v0.3b-beta
Before installing this version make sure that you delete the prevoius version of the dotmod folder!
Special thanks continues to go to the Beta Testers! General_Dave_1, Jennie, Mapashelas, RedFor best for, Russian_Wolf, Stallfighter, and tranchgun91. Special thanks also to our new contributors: RedEagle and Tionstav for their excellent model work.

Models
US Navy GUPPY Submarines - Made by Tionstav in two flavours, Atlantic and Standard Sail, and has been textured by Kevin DDSSTT to match the USN and ROCN colour schemes
George Washington SSBN - This model was built by RedEagle and has been textured by Kevin DDSSTT
Royal Navy HMS Dreadnought (SSN) - This model was built by TheHappyYachter originally in CAD software but has been completely reworked in Blender with a new texture from KevinDDSSTT.
Royal Navy Resolution SSBN - This model was built by TheHappyYachter in Blender with a texture from KevinDDSSTT for both the 1968 and 1984 variants.
Royal Netherlands Navy Zwaardvis SSK - The model for this submarine was made by Tionstav in and has been textured by Kevin DDSSTT.
US Navy Arleigh Burke – Flight I DDG - This model was originally created by Yi Tsung Lee for Cities Skylines and was released under a
Creative Common’s licence. The model was modified by The HappyYachter and textured by KevinDDSSTT to match the rest of the DotMod inventory.
Minor fixes to some existing models
New weapons have been added to support the new vessels these include: Anabar Decoy, Korum Decoy, VL-ASROC, A.184. These have been modelled by a mix of people including SteelShark, TheHappyYachter, KevinDDSSTT, and ElectricBoat.
Data
KevinDDSSTT has extensively reworked surface ship and Albacore hull sub wakes after developing a formula for providing consistent wakes on a per vessel basis.
Tweaks to some weapons
Vesel Selection in Campaigns can now be implemented based upon a conditional probability.
WIP Royal Navy Campaign
New ROC Single Missions
New Features
Proximity fuses for torpedoes are now implemented thanks to Dsmirnoff
For first time installer the game will now check for the existence of an override folder on first load. This should help reduce the number of people who have issues when they have removed Epic Mod by renaming the override folder to stop DotMod reading it. This happens only on first load.
UI
A new console menu has been added (Shift + `) this is a nicer implementation than the original and will allow you to inspect the game log without exiting the game. It also allows you to input console commands.
Fantastic UI assets for the new vessels built by none other than SteelShark. Without his 2D art none of the new models would be as playable as they are. He has also provided the new HUD elements like Periscope masks, individually selected for the nations based on Open Source
Intelligence.

Davidtman i only did the damage control panels and signature's for all the guppy's
but ill look in to the depth stuff for you and the radar mast stuff though seem to remember some one said the mast was fixed so that's why it doesn't raise on that boat ill ask for you thought when i can
did a bit of digging on my work break tho
Guppy II Program
The GUPPY II conversion (SCB 47), implemented from 1947 to 1951, was generally similar to the GUPPY I, except for retention of both periscopes and introduction of the recently perfected snorkel. The addition of three new masts; snorkel induction, snorkel exhaust, and ESM mast -- required more room in the upper portion of the sail. BuShips approved two different sail designs:
1) The "Electric Boat Sail" had a straight trailing edge, round windows, a wider top and a more rounded forward edge.
2) The " Portsmouth Sail" had a thinner top, curved trailing edge, square windows and a sharper lower forward edge. It was put on all boats, which used the government plans for the conversion.
Some boats with a Portsmouth Sail had an SV radar and needed extra room to house the aerial, thus had a bulge at the sail top. Later modifications put the SS or SS2 radars on these and other boats which had a smaller aerial and had an indicator with interlocks which allowed the mast to be housed only with the aerial in certain angular positions. Also, some GUPPY II and GUPPY III boats had their sails extended higher above the waterline, the "Northern Sail", to raise the bridge, allowing it to be manned in more severe weather.
All boats converted during the GUPPY II program that originally had high-speed drive motors with reduction gears had these replaced with low-speed direct-drive motors, producing 2500 horsepower (1.9 MW) per shaft.
The two GUPPY I boats, Odax and Pomodon, were modified to GUPPY II standard.

Most of the reading I have done indicates that US WWII era subs had their capabilities dramatically understated. The reasons may be partly dues to war secrets and partly due to safety concerns. The US seemed to rate their test depths at 1/2 of the crush depths. Gato's had a test depth of 300 feet and an estimated crush depth of 550-600 feet. Balao's had a test depth of 400 feet (limited to their WWI era bilge pump not working below this depth), and a crush depth of an estimated 900 feet.
There is even a claim here on Subsim that the USS Pollock a Porpoise class submarine with a test depth of 250 feet dove to 540 feet while being attacked. I have not been able to verify this with any other source though.

Fantastic mod! Just a few notes though.
Is there an updated key command list somewhere?
Is there any tutorials available for the surface ships?
Been playing with the Arleigh Burke but cannot shoot down an aircraft to save my life.
Anyway, since I shelved this title almost 2 years ago, totally lost interest. This Dot mod though, provides the missing action I've been craving while awaiting Sea Power to release. Thanks for putting this together and congrats for being able to separate yourselves from the other "Non-mentionable" mod.

if you look at the weapons panel their is a ship icon for the sam panel you can click this to cycle to ships / air craft / missiles the icon may vary depending whats loaded if its a harpoon anti ship missile its only anti ship ect if its a rim missile ect its multi role
missiles also are in the vls slot ofc so look their again cycle the options

I noticed a couple of other detail. In the Barbel class if you surface the sub, then increase the positive ballast, it will actually lift the sub out of the water and give you plus 12 on the depth. I tried to find a way to correct this myself but could not figure out how.
Also on the Ohio class the total stored weapons is listed at 10. With 4 in the tubes and 6 reloads for torpedoes. The Ohio carried a total of 22 stored weapons with 4 in the tubes and 18 reloads.

Yes, not time compression. It will just slowly rise out of the water if you have positive ballast.

As I suspect a lot of the people here don't frequent the DotMod Discord I thought I would cross post some of our Dev updates that we have been working on. Release of the update is the traditional "Soon".
One of the biggest new features is a entirely new system for Towed Arrays and Towed Decoys, this lets us render them for player and enemy vessels, as demonstrated below by a Valiant-class this new renderer lest us detail the actual array too.

Apparently that's the old gag about Mk37 blowing your bow off if you're launching it to a target across the bow since it's so slow. As if it was not lousy enough otherwise..

The Cold Water devs contemplated adding the Mk37c to the game. In the mid to late 1960's the US Navy created an upgrade kit the MK37 to add a Otto II propulsion. It is similar to the NT37 but kept the original sensor and guidance system with only minor upgrades made to them.
The package would have increased speed by 40% and doubled the range. The upgrades were never used by the Navy probably due to the rapid progress on the MK 48.

Yes, it gives you an another perspective on how things were. Americans had, no doubt about it, superior boats, but the weapons were miserable. Doubly so for Britons, Tigertrash in 80s, ugh. Soviets on the other hand had noisy deaf subs but had torpedoes that could actually kill the opponents, if a) they could hear them b) the torpedo could acquire.
As far as I understood from some online reference, USN was well aware of Mk 37 problems but didn't want to upgrade it because it might have gotten the Mk48 project cancelled outright if there was something that was not quite as dire.

As far as I understood from some online reference, USN was well aware of Mk 37 problems but didn't want to upgrade it because it might have gotten the Mk48 project cancelled outright if there was something that was not quite as dire.
From the little information available it sounds like the MK37c was a backup option in case the cold war turned hot and the MK48 program failed or took to long. The Navy needed quick and cheap way to get a better torpedo. Of course by the 70's even a 36-38 knot torpedo speed was basically useless at that point.

Regarding changing voices, I appreciate that being CW a tactical game more than a submarine simulator, has its limitations. There are orders that are imparted within the actual operations of a submarine that cannot be emulated. So and everything, the audio aspect can be improved and brought closer to the real world.

I have copied over quite a few submarines from both playable subs and epic mod. It takes a lot of trial and error. I learned on the fly how to use the notepad programming to get the subs to work properly. So far I have added the following classes:
French: Rubin, Suffren, Scorpene
German: Type 209 and 212
Japanese: Yushio and Oyashio
Canada: Victoria class
Australia: Oberon and Collins
Sweden: Nacken and Gotland
Norway:Ula Class
Netherlands: Walrus class
USA: Tang, Skate, and the Ohio SSGN (Guided Missile conversion)
You can also create your own single mission. I simply use a pre-existing template and make small changes like sub/ ship class that will populate and the number of sub/ ships. You can also add enemy air support to make the missions for challenging.

All of the submarines (except for the Tang and Skate) are from Epic mod and Playable Subs mod. The Tang and Skate used the preexisting models (ROC Guppy and Nautilus) and files. I simply copied and changed the names.
Thank you Davidtman!
A question: I would like to transfer one of the submarines from Epicmod to Dotmod.
Where should I look which files to find and transfer one particular submarine? Please provide a concrete example...

The easiest way I found to transfer files is do a search for the class of sub in the main game folder. This should pull up all of the files needed, then copy and past into the respective folders in Dot Mod. However each individual file may contain data that is not valid in Dot Mod. You will either need to replace that data with data that works in Dot Mod or create the new data. For example both Epic and Playable subs contain torpedoes, missiles, sonar/radar systems that are not in Dot Mod. For realism purposes I created these systems in Dot Mod

Each individual single mission and campaign has its own file. To add submarines you will need to add the Zwaardvis to the file on the "Player Vessel" line.
@Davidtman:
I've put the name of a submarine on that line maybe 20 times today... Without any success!
For a change, I put the name at the beginning of the line instead of now at the end.

That's why I think the Swaardvis will show up in the Russian campaign as "Enemy Ship". But I'm not sure because I haven't played the Russian campaign.

I learned how to mod this game by trial and error. Modding can be very complicated and start a cascade of errors. My advice is ALWAYS keep a clean copy of the original game file. Do not make a bunch of mods at once. Make one, then check to make sure the game works, then make another. That way of an error pops up you know exactly what mod caused it and can reverse it easily.

That’s right. A misplaced or omitted comma at a remote point in the file triggers the disaster. And then,try to unravel the mystery of where the error is. It doesn’t even have a clear log or an understandable language error message, which one can follow to detect what the fault is and remedy it.Maybe in some much later version of MOD...Cheers.

Okay my friend!. Apparently it wasn’t that complicated. (Really I hope I didn’t make things too complicated for you...).I took to modify (and test and learn...) the first campaign of the mod. I did the following:
1.I took the liberty of modifying your favorite submarine,very poorly armed in origin. Adding a main type of torpedo (heavy torpedo of Italian origin A184) and adding a basic anti-aircraft defense by means of the known (and successfully tested in combat)missile Blowpipe.(So...backup the "rnn_84_ssk_zwaardvis.txt" in the vessels folder & replace it with the file I modify)
2.To add it to campaign 001 you must follow the path:StreamingAssets....dotmod.....folder campaign....folder campaign001...summary.txt
(backup & replace it with the file I modify)....good luck & good hunt.....Cheers!

Gyrodyne QH-50 DASH
DASH was a major part of the United States Navy's Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM) program of the late 1950s. FRAM was started because the Soviet Union was building submarines faster than the US could build anti-submarine frigates. Instead of building frigates, the FRAM upgrade series allowed the US to rapidly update by converting older ships that were less useful in modern naval combat. The navy could upgrade the sonar on World War II-era destroyers but needed a stand-off weapon to attack at the perimeter of the sonar's range. The old destroyers had little room for add-ons such as a full flight deck. The original DASH concept was a light drone helicopter that could release a nuclear depth charge or torpedoes. The aircraft was considered expendable.
The manned Gyrodyne Rotorcycle program of the mid-1950s provided prototype work for the DASH, and ultimately the Rotorcycle was modified to produce the initial drone version, the DSN-1/QH-50A The DSN-1 was powered by a Porsche YO-95-6 72 hp piston engine and carried one Mark 43 homing torpedo. The next developmental version was the DSN-2/QH-50B that was powered by two Porsche YO-95-6 engines and also carried a single Mk 43. Serial production of the DASH began with the third version, the DSN-3/QH-50C, in which a 255 hp (190 kW) Boeing T50-4 turboshaft engine replaced the piston engine and the payload was increased to two Mark 44 torpedoes. Later On this was Changed to one single Mark 46 Torpedo A total of 378 QH-50Cs were produced before production ended in January 1966.
This Drone has Been Added To DotMod To add extra anti-submarine capability's for vessels that cannot operate full sized Helicopters.

As a contribution to your theme, the FRAM (Fleet Modernization and Rehabilitation Program) reached surface vessels, submarines and aircraft. FRAM for submarines was based on the technical characteristics of German vessels caught at the end of WWII. The U-boats type VII and XXI, had important technical advances such as the "snorkel", which jumped an important tactical advantage. This program was closely related to the GUPPY (Great Underwater Propulsion Power) program, which began in 1947 with the conversion to the new standard, of several units of the "Gato", "Balao","Tench" and "Fleet" Class.Grettings!!! .Marcelo:up:

Since we are on the topic of bugfixes and bugs, I leave you this:the model of helicopter SH-34J/WESSEX,appears flying "back".That is, the tail rotor in the direction of movement. The rest of the helicopters,as far as we’ve tested the mod, are presented and move in the right way . Greetings

The cavitation and Kelvin waves were way off. They should both be corrected in the code I provided. The Austin Class sldo only had one smoke effect which was way off line from the exhaust stack. I aligned it properly and added a second smoke effect for the second exhaust stack.

The underwater damage effects on the Iwo Jima are way off. I have not had to time try and fix it yet, maybe tomorrow.
I also updated the smoke particles on all the Oliver Hazard Perry Frigates/Adelaide class: FunnelSmokeParticlePosition=0,0.03531,-0.30.
If you are interested I added working two Phalanx CWIS guns to the 1984 Iwo Jima. The Iwo Jima Class had two CWIS's in addition to the two Sea Sparrow launchers. I do not do 3D modeling so I had to use the available parts. I used the Sea Sparrow platform that the launcher sits on, flipped it upside down and aligned it to the hull, then set the CWIS on it.

It appears that the ASROC's are not working. I have played single missions against the Knox, Spurance, Gearing, and Belknap. And none of these ships will fire an ASROC at me. I run shallow while cavitating with active sonar on so they definitely know I am there. I have even surfaced several time. The ships will fire Harpoons but when I dive they will not fire ASROC's.

If you are interested I made a slight modification to Royal NAvy Type 42 Destroyer. Shortly after the Falklands War the Royal Navy added additional anti-air defense to most of their ships.

I'd love to try this mod out, how can I install on my Mac using Steam?
Amazing work, the helicopters are thoroughly enjoyable.
Quick list on spotted bugs, though.
1. County class Sea Cats on player ship ignore aircraft in test mission (completely defenseless against planes and helicopters within minimum range of Sea Slugs)
2. Krivak towed array coordinates are missing, cable protrudes from center of the ship.
3. Flags - no flags should fly on stern at sea, only on the mast. Bow flags denote ship at anchor, also shouldn't be there. Also, existing meshes for flags can be used (for new countries), provided separate new materials are used on them for new flag textures, they will look less buggy.
4. On reaching a waypoint the helicopter should hover, not circle. It would also be very interesting if a helicopter could attach itself to a target (like it does on before landing) and follow it.
And as a suggestion there are two issues that were always relevant to this game:
4. Civilian ships ignore surface warships and surface action. While courageous, it's rather unrealistic, and civilian ships should, by default, try to scatter, when a surface ship begins firing, and it would be very helpful if there would be an option to issue targeted signal to civilian ship like "stop"/"leave the area"/"continue on course". I once coded it as an experiment and it's entirely possible. Potentially it can open a way for resupply at sea mechanism from "neutral" transports or smuggler hunting roleplaying.
5. Damaged submarine surfacing. It's very painful to sink them, while in reality the situation would likely become a rescue operation instead. Ideally such submarine should stop and turn to neutral, at least so that the player could finish the mission without delivering a coup de grace. Just note that some subs can sink if they turn their engines off.
I moved the two boats further aft though the modernized Type 42 did not retain them (I think they look good the the Type 42).
Can you please post the complete config file with this modification? I get a crash when I try to inset the code into CIWS area, and the modified boat coordinates are not there anyway.

Thanks! With a little adoption (torpedo config is different between player and non-player ship) it works :)
-------
Encountered another bug in the meantime.
If there is a ship on ship engagement, with missiles launched from both sides, and player launches a helicopter, the game crashes on next missile launch by AI in function LaunchSAM.OnExit()
Happens only with active player helicopter.
Additionally, is it feasible, that AI would detect the player ship and identify it with sufficient confidence to launch missile attacks immediately on the start of a mission (at least when the speed is increased to 15 or more knots) with distances of 35-45 k/yds? It seems to be acoustic detection, since my radar is off and if I launch a decoy torpedo, AI attacks the faster between us, but I doubt the speed of decision in this scenario. Does AI process neutral contacts?

Hi, I am new to Dotmod. Just a few thanks and comments on the mod. First of all, this mod is great. Beautiful models and more in-depth playing. Some of the nuances really push the original arcade game way beyond. Just a few comments:
1. Shipborne helos for burke and Tico are great. But since there is no way to use their own sensors such as sonar buoy and dipping sonar, they are merely long range torpedo carriers. In real life, helos for these big ships are the primary ASW go-to tool. Not sure how hard to add a button/function right next to waypoint for helo to dip sonar. And once helo deploys its sonar, the detection and TMA get update with better picture.
2. Some of the ship gun ranges seem to be off. Tico and Burke's gun has a max range of 25.5kyd. But some of the Chinese old destroyers and FFG from 70s have more than 30kyd, that almost 20% extra range.
3. Now we have all these advanced ships and subs. It would be great to have a more modern campaign where a player can get to use these platforms such as VA class sub and Yassen class
4. Not sure if anyone noticed, MK50 and MK46 torpedoes cannot operate at extreme deep depth. They explode around below 1400ft.

Is it possible to edit the sound files when you're on the ships and not the submarines?
When you're on the ships you here commands that would only come from a sub.
Sounds weird on the ships.

The devs plan to add dipping sonars and sonar buoys to helos in a later update. They are also working on adding more modern ships and subs and I believe a new 21st ccentury campaign. As far as torpedoes the MK 46 have a test depth of around 1200-1300 feet, the MK 50 has a depth around 3000 feet. In my game the MK 50 definitely do not explode at 1400 feet. For the ranges on various guns these can be easily edited the game folder .

The team is working hard on updates to the campaign system, new models, and polishing what we've done to date. Here are a few sneak peaks of what you can hope to find in the next update of DotMod
Good Day Firebar,

One issue however. The soviet Sverdlov-class Cruiser has only the main armament and the AK-630's functional, will we be seeing the several 100 mm/70 SM-5-1 turret secondaries activated in the near future? they're already modeled on the ship.

To install this variant properly you will need to delete the previous version of the dotmod folder!
Special thanks for 0.3a to our new little group of Beta Testers: Cmdr SCF_01, General_Dave_1, Mapashelas, RedFor best for, trenchgun91, and 🌸杏奈女帝🇯🇵

Greetings fellow Sub Sim players.
Here comes few words from little Iceland. You know the cold Iceland in the North Atlantic where submarines pass often near the GIUK line :salute:
I have been interested in submarines since young age, played Silent Service on my nintendo as the first sub sim then 688 Attack Sub, later enjoyed Silent Hunter III and V. I also like Fleet Command and there you are able to use subs from various nations.
So to the point.
I just recently discovered Cold Waters. What a nice game. Takes me back to 688 Attack sub but with great graphics, realistic crew voices and many other things. I discovered dotmode and it makes the game even better. Outstanding work!
:yeah:
I have one point to add.
You are able to play Russian submarines. Some of them are boomers like Yankee class, Delta III and Delta IV and the famous Typhoon class, which the film "The Hunt for the Red October" uses as the main boat.
Question:
Using Yankee you are able to use Ballistic missiles. Why are you not able to do so on Delta III, IV and Typhoon?
You have these gigantic boomers but you can not use their main weapons?
So is there a plan to add this or? It would make the game more interesting and realistic.
I heard and seen on youtube that in epic mod you are able to use it but I have heard bad comments that it is less realistic.
Anyway hope to get some reply
Regards.

Seems this mod has gone DOA. It's a shame. I was really enjoying it.
However, if it means Sea Power is that much closer to release by not having enough support from designers, so be it.
Honestly, I think this should have gone the Patreon route. I would have paid to keep it alive.

One great thing about Cold Waters w/dotmod is that it runs well on my tired old Linux laptop... and I REALLY appreciate that.
I hope that the new game is similarly well-optimised for poor people like me..

Yeah, it's been a while now...
However, the mod is very good in its current state. Just two things I would have liked to see are a "drooping" towed array for the player's sub (i.e. sub above the layer with bow array listening while the towed array is below the layer - but maybe this is doable in the current architecture..?), and the player-controlled helos dropping sonobouys and dipping sonar.
Still, DotMod is extremely well crafted.

Dotmod is a great mod to the vanilla game, but I have the following issues:
1. Guns on Chinese surface combatants way out ranged either American and Russian counterparts in the South China Sea campaign. Regardless what caliber. Some 76mm can out range 120mm or 130mm guns.
2. There are so few campaigns especially in the modern age. You have all these beautiful models for modern warships such as Virginia class, but you cannot really use it in any of the campaigns.

For everyone that has been waiting patiently, there are been a few exciting updates to Dot Mod. The devs have just released a new update that added a new 1984 campaign. They are still working on added new vessels and a new modern campaign. The devs have not provided an eta on v0.5 yet.
In addition, a separate team has been working hard on adding new subs and ships. A new 1962 campaign with several new subs have been added. Also, they are working on a new 1979 campaign which will add a few new vessels that bridge the technology gap between 1968 and 1984.

Hi.
Installing the previous and first version of DotMod.v0.4a-2b for me was trouble-free.
The current version of DotModv0.4b unfortunately causes a warning (probably wrong) and blocking by my AVG antivirus. Installation using the DotModInstaller.exe file causes a small black window to appear and disappear after a while. Manual installation causes errors.
Update.
A revised version will likely be available later today. Information from the official Discord.

Update available.

@everyone
I apologize for the inconvenience, but it seems that recompiling the installer program did what I worried it might -- trigger anti-malware suites. I knew this could happen, but usually it results in Windows Defender removing it the moment I finish compiling it. Since that didn't happen, I assumed it was fine, however it seems I was most sorely mistaken. This is my fault and I 100% should have done more testing to make sure that it wasn't utterly broken. I've uploaded a new version of the release with the old installer executable and the old version of the source code. Again, this is entirely my fault and I absolutely should've done more testing. If you've already installed v0.4b, then you don't need to do anything, since there's no change to the actual mod content. If you plan on doing a manual install when this gets to you, proceed as before. You only need to re-download if you attempted to use the installer and it didn't work/gave you an error from your anti-malware suite. Here's hoping the old executable doesn't do the same, in which case I'm in a world of pain.
Sorry, folks.

For those curious, the problem comes with the compiler, Nuitka. Like its counterpart Pyinstaller, anti-malware suites tend to have a rather picky time with executables compiled with these two softwares. In the end, the reason for this is fairly simple: Anti-malware suites look, among heuristic data and calls to various OS commands, at patterns of source code within compiled executables. Since any malware compiled with Pyinstaller and Nuitka would have those softwares' 'signatures' within the file's data, it's an easy thing for malware definitions to pick up on. Unfortunately, it results in a fairly high false positive rate. The program can be compiled directly from the Python source of a completely legitimate program (such as, for example, the source code to the installer included in every download), and we'll still get flagged for it. I sincerely hope this incident, which entirely is my fault for not testing beyond checking whether Windows Defender removed the executable immediately after compiling like it did in the past, has not eroded your trust in me. Again, my sincerest apologies.
