cheat mod???

[GenLeo]

Hello everyone. I have noticed that as usual the subject of cheating gets people all fussed up. Well since i payed for a lot of money for this game and only get a few hours to play a week (maybe one campaign mission if i do not die). I was hoping somebody here might know of a few mods that i am looking for.

Unlimited torps

No damage to sub. (for those times where you just need to do something fast,like the wife calling you for dinner for the 10th time:damn: , or your dispatcher wondering why it takes 3 hours to get a "quick" meal;) )

No rough seas(i like sneaking up to ships and wailing on them with the deck guns)


For those of you who want the TOTALLY realistic gameplay and have the uber
amount of hours to do so then hey great more power to you. But for me i spent 40 bux on a game that takes many hours just to get into a harbor sink all the ships then get sunk by a destroyer ramming you cause the water is not deep enough to get away. I got into new york harbor sunk all the ships there then was on my way out and got sunk by a destroyer ramming me while it was still on patrol (not hunting me) Lost 3 hours of that campaign not to mention the uber amounts of tonnage. Thanks in advance if anyone knows where i can find those or if you can make em.

To the moderator. Sorry about the double post. Not sure what happened, I was trying to go back and add the "???" to th etopic name and somehow it double posted. Again my apologies.

You can change the realism factors so you don't get damage. Someone made an unlimited torp mod I think have you tried a search? BTW don't worry play the game the way you like it, you arcade kid you.:x (joking) :-j

If you don't want damage, find zones.cfg (it's a text file under SH3/data/, back it up, then find inside u-boat items and edit (boost) hit points to whatever you want, ie 3000.

For the rough seas, find the SH3weather application, and have any kind of weather you want.

:up:

Thank for the info both of you. As to the arcade comment, no its not that. I drive an 18-wheeler for a living on a dedicated account, which leaves no down time between runs. And when i am home i have an absolutely wonderful wife who just wants all fo my attention.

Do you know where the weather application file is. I am totally ne wto figureing these thigs out. I found the zones.cfg and edited that so i will see if that worked soon. But i cannot find the weather. thx

Glad you found what you wanted, and my comment was a joke. We are all "kids" really playing games. Even if I just turned 40 still feel like a kid. :cool:

So far so good. like i said i edited a few things but changed those back. The more i play this game the more i am enjoying the limits. However, the one limit that for me that HAS to go is how slow the subs are. Even with time compression it takes FOEVER to get anywhere. I am assuming that the speed for the subs is in either the dat or zon files. But i am not sure how to get access to those to change my subs speed.

[VonHelsching]

The speed is in the .sim files. ../data/submarine/NSS_Uboat*.*
Use SH3 MiniTweaker to change them

In order to do this for travelling only, I would also change the "gears".
I would keep speeds 1,2,4 and 5 for playing and 3 only for travelling:

There is a code somewhere (anyone can help?) that can adjust the "gears" i.e the percentage of the max speed. So if you set max speed 35 kms (double of an average sub) then your tweaked gear configuration would be something like that:

Speeds: 1=15%, 2=25%, 3=100%, 4=40%, 5=50%.

This way you'll get what you want (cruising with 3) and be within the limits of a challenging experience. Don't know what will happen with your fuel consumption...

I guess you'll have to tweak this too to compensate. It's also in the .sim files. Look for surface range.:up:

For quick patrols you can DL the SpySat mod, it shows on the map in realtime all the convoys moving also has many taskforces. And ive found in alot of the convoys theres always either a BB or carrier.! :rock:

But warning it does make searching for targets just to easy :D

ok, not sure why but when i click the link for spysat forum it brings up a screen asking m eto sign in. I try but tells me my user name or pw are invalid. But i had to sign on to get to the mods thread ?!?!?

[kiwi_2005]

Go here: http://server3.realsimulation.com/u-boot/SH3Mods/

And go down the page your see two SpySat mods one with lots of traffic the other with less.

[GenLeo]

yeah, got that last night before going to bed. its pretty cool. :rock: What program should i use for editing the .sim files to upgrade the speed of the uboats. *wishing all programs could be edited by notepad* I really like all the files on that site to choose from. But unless i am missing it cause of the funky color, there is no discription of the files.

If you liked SPySat, try SH3Gen a much more elaborated application. There is a thread somewhere around. Use the search function.

Thanks for all the help from all of you guys and gals. After experimenting with some mods and editing i think running the game pretty stock is good enough for me. The only thing i have left to do is figure out how to make the subs have one speed that runs supper fast. Trying to cross the ocean to take out NYC harbor or go way down to cuba takes FOREVER and time compression is just not helping that type of voyage. I edited the files under data/submarine/nss..../(ms office) files but it did not effect the subs at all. So i am assuming the actual code lines for their speed in under one of the other programs like .dat or .zon or something. Does anybody have a file uprage to have the subs able to run like 50 or 75 so i can chase down the task forces or just cross the ocean at lightning speeds. The other one mod i saw a thread for that does not exist anymore. Was the ability to use yoru deck gun in any weather.

Thanks again for ALL the help. No if i can just remember to chk the depth under the keel so i can stop performing the literal CRASH dive.:damn:

[kiwi_2005]

Yes theres Timetravelers brilliant "SH3 Mini Tweaker" v1 Build-104

With this tool you can make your boat go at the speed of light! just joking, but i got my IXb cruising the atlantic doing 40knots surfaced and 20knots submerged, no taskforce is safe :arrgh!: also range is increase to 40000 kms. Yep no realism whatsoever:D

You can speed up ya boat faster than what i have. The choice is up to you.
