Type IX problems

[Flakwalker]

I was trying to fix the type IX cable on turms, however there is a problem: all the versions use the same turms, so by fixing one other will get unfix, specially on the IXD2.

So until anyone find a way to create a Turm9b_1(2-3)_hd.dat and Turm9d2_1(2-3)_hd.dat and manage to let them work on their respective versions, this cannot be posible.

Hmmm :hmm:

I have a suggestion... but it may seem too drastic... too heavy.

Remove the cables from affected versions of all but the most commonly used Type IX...

Or go ahead with individual turm fixes... and release a mod for each with the understanding that the U-Boat captain will need to modify his files each time he changes conning tower types.

It isn't a perfect solution... and would mean more work to fix... but it IS a solution.

What are your thoughts? :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

The problem is that IXB, IXC and IXD2 use the same Turm9c_1_hd.dat (Turm/1), Turm9c_2_hd.dat (Turm/2) and Turm9c_3_hd.dat (Turm/3) so if I remove the cables, all the versions wont have it.

This was not the same on the VII types (fortunately) because they use things like Turm7b_1_hd.dat (for VIIB) and Turm7c_1_hd.dat (for VIIC).

Exactly,

Are there any compromise solutions you can see?

[Flakwalker]

Yep, its depends on the future releases of the Sansal tool :)

Can t you modify the small Poles holding the cabels. maybe they are part of the Mainhulls of each Uboat.

Yes that is a posibility, however the result may not be historical accurate, also I need to know the exact position of the turm on the hull ingame, not only the cable dont meet the supports, also the cable end attach points on the hull ends inside the hull. So we can wait for future Pack3D releases.

If we use SH3 Commander we can have both in the game, because SH3 Commander loads files based on the U-boat selected by the player (or automatically selected based on the U-boat in use by the selected career) before the game loads. If you have a version for the IXD2 and one for the IXB please make them available, as we can fix this for folks who use SH3 Commander.

Actually I would only need one version, as the stock one works for some of the boats, right?

[Flakwalker]

Ok, but I will need Sansal help to know the current XYZ position of hull/turm to know exactly how both stand each others ingame. He told before that will be a feature on future releases of Pack3D.

Flakwalker,

The solution is simple. Just clone the tower with sansal tool. Do your work. When you release it just adapt the respective .eqp file to use the cloned one, ok? I already do this a lot of time to work with the AI uboats. If you need help just contact me.

Rubini.

[Flakwalker]

Ah, I didnt consider the cloning as option :lol:

Yes please, explain me how to clone since I have no idea about.
