Hi all

Just an anoying problem i have been having, when on the surface during a storm with rain etc, my watch crew are just wearing their standard uniforms and not their wet-weather clothes.... now either my crew are a bunch of tough nuts that do not need wet-weatrher gear or there is a bug etc. This happens either during a stock mission or a generated mission using the mission editor.

Now i have tried this without any mods installed and just using the patch 1.4b and the bug is still there.

Has anyone else noticed this?

many thanks

Adam

You really think the crew will just simply leave the bridge ??

You have to send them below, then they will change clothes.

Leaving the bridge without permission could get them courtmartialed !

:D

Yes, but anyway that silly bug when they dont wear raincoats after reloading a game with stormy weather lives on... Its of course minor but kills inmersion...

And I pity my watch crew when I see them in the rain with summer shirts :rotfl:

Are you using the all weather guns mod or have you altered the sub files "storm conditions" modfier so that you can use the deck and flak in rough weather?

I don't know about you, but I'm sure someone in my crew would be nice enough to pass their raincoats up to them :yep:

Not in my crew.

Because putting the raincoat on while on the bridge has too many disadvantages:

A) They are focussing on putting on the rain coat instead of doing their lookout job.
B) They will have to put on the rain coat on their already wet clothes.
C) Putting on raincout in windy weather is very awkward.

Therefore I use a much better system, the Watch Officer just sends them below after they are being releaved by a fresh lookout wearing a rain coat.

Didn't they teach you this in u-boat school ?

:D

And remember: YOU have to send down the Watch Officer. Under no circumstances will he leave his station for such a unworthy task like changing clothes. My WO can stand lookout for weeks...

Or hes just lazy: After all: Sunshine follows rain - why trouble?

Leaving his station ??? no way !!! He will be releaved and only THEN go down below :D

And once he's below, he STAYS THERE.

He's so good at lookout, he says he can see psychically through the hull!

Nope, not my watch officer, but of course I have more poeple on my boat that can do his job.

I exchange crewmen one at a time to get them outfitted.

I assume in real life foul weather gear was passed up as conditions deteriorated or bridge watch crew were releaved to get properly outfitted.

Works this way in my experiences in the service and imagine it worked back in WWII U-boats as well.

well, a few replies but unfortunatley not one of these has helped me. even sending my crew below or changing them 1 by 1 has no effect what so ever.

thanks anyways guys

Why to change them one by one? Just hit the "PD depth key" (P) and once the watch is below deck, surface. Much faster.

You can change his clothes using the crew screen,
sending one by one the tower crew to the sub for a clothes change.

I do this sometimes but my crew is very brave and rough seamans, they can withstand a storm gale in the middle of the atlantic with summer clothes

:rotfl:

By rightclicking the bridge you can sent all crew (with exeption of WO) to quarters. Watch will be back on its own - fastest way to change clothes.

Did you know that whenn you have a compartment highlightet and you rightclick another compartment all crew will be assigegend from the former to the latter? (or vice versa, Im not so sure) Just try!

submerge and surface. When you surface, they are back into their oilskins.

Well - known bug.

It looks like my question to the original poster was lost in another outburst of imagination.

Here it is again.

Are you using the all weather guns mod or have you altered the sub files "storm conditions" modfier so that you can use the deck and flak in rough weather?

A bug ?? Why a bug ??

Would you prefer the crew magically changing clothes in a split second when it starts to rain ?

my crew don't change their clothes infront of me - even if it is just a rain coat to put on :D

Hi iron

To answer your question yes i did install the Hurricane mod but this was done using the JSGME mod installer, when i disable it etc the problem is still there...... perhaps a fresh re-install is needed, maybe some files have become corrupt maybe.?

cheers mate

Have a look at the cfg files in data/subamarine/YOUR SUB

Check to see what the values of the "stormconditions" modifier is set to. If it is set to 7 and .1 then that is the original value and this isn't the problem. If those numbers are higher then I think this is your problem.

I have altered these numbers manualy so I can use the flak gun in bad weather. After I did this, my crew didn't wear wet weather gear in the rain. It's a price I'm willing to pay for some air defence :|\

The Kaleun had been sure relaxing the uniform regulations was a good idea at first, but he was getting more and more concerned about Matrosenobergefreiter Lube....

Your answer should be here...

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2925210&postcount=23

Adjust the config data/Submarine/NSS_UboatXX file on this line ...

StormConditions=11,0.8;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

Adjust your wind speed aspect from like above to a lower number such as "7" or make it "1" or up to "15".

Once the storm condition hits the stated speed, you should be able to have the rain gear appear on the watch crew.:up:
