oops. yeah the crash dive workaround would need to be removed too if you removed the main mod. The workaround also needs to be installed after the main mod. I should update the readme.

Odd that crash dive works and regular dive doesn't. The only difference is I set the dive order variable to 2 instead of 1, so that they have hard landings at the bottom of the ladder.

It's WAD that the watch officer stays there. He'll always be the last guy down. If anyone stays there, he will to. Once I figure out why HA won't go down, the WO will follow him down.


Is everybody having this problem?

When HA (aft hydroplane operator) is stuck on the bridge, is he just frozen in a seated position or is he going through the same animation sequence he does when at his hydroplane station?

One more thing. Do you have an enemy ship or plane in sight?

The HO is going thru the motions of operating the HP's, the WO is stood behind the UZO but keeps standing up and then ducking down....

No planes or ships in sight.

If you want to try a file edit, we can try something. You can use any text editor, notepad works fine.


Open Crew_Idle_Actions_CR.aix in MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2 \data\scripts\ai\crew

Search for CR_HA_SUBMERGED, you'll want the second occurance
Find this code:
This says if I'm not in any of those CrewStates and I'm either submerged or have a dive order and it's not the tutorial or in the bunker.

Let's remove the CrewState conditions by commenting it out with a '#'
You should change it in the MOD folder itself rather than in your Data folder, so you'll be able to enable/disable it. You'll need to re-enable the mod after you make the change.

*edit* I made a mistake. Make sure it's CR_HA_SUBMERGED you change. Actually, if that works, you can change both CR_HA_SUBMERGED and CR_HF_SUBMERGED

Regardless of whether this fixes your problem, I'll need to address it for 1.2.1. It's a big hole.

The more I think of it, the more I think this is it. HF works because I didn't move his waypoint. I'll get a fix up this evening.

How do you know this stuff.... ok i've had a go at what you suggested, will give it a go.
Cheers for the help buddy... can't live with out this mod.:salute:

Because I emailed my scripts to work, so I can mess with them rather than doing my job. :D

Well played, sir.

It worked ..the watch crew behave as per the mod, tested it a number of times both crash dive and normal dive. The WO on the other hand still stays on deck, and continues to hide behind the uzo. Hope this info helps you with the fix:yeah:

Thanks for testing that for me.

Both HA and HF were falling through to either the HUNT or DAMAGE_TAKEN strategies, so they're not setting their location variables. The watch officer strategy checks those variables to see if they've cleared the bridge. That fix to CR_HA_SUBMERGED stopped the aft guy from doing it. If you make the same change to CR_HF_SUBMERGED, that should let the watch officer go down.

I've been ignoring the strategies for the other conditions and, consequently, I've introduced some incompatabilities that'll have to be addressed.

Thanks for helping me work through that.

Ubisoft should you pay for it. Thanks to you, this game starts to resemble a game of 2010!

I am very grateful to you for what you're doing!

I made the change to the HF guy, for me this caused a lot of ctd. When it did work I had the HF guy doing a wierd sitting movement thru the CR until he reached his proper location. He would walk a few steps go into the seated position then get up and do it all over again. The change did bring the WO down into the boat but any time I gave a order to change the direction of the boat it CTD. I changed the HF line back to its original from but still got CTD. The changes were are in Mightyfine crew mod 1.2 alt faces.:yeah:

Any syntax error causes a CTD. Can be a real pain in the butt to track down. I think this'll have to wait for me to fix it this evening. Sorry I let this slip through. :oops:

I can't remember what the error message was it flashed up to quick. Don't be sorry either its an awesome mod bound to be teething problems, glad I could help you out in a small way.:salute:
