Patch or to correct at next version of OH II
 

Trevally,
Thanks again for your hard work in making SH5 fun.

The update log under documentation folder did not include OH II version 2.0 changes.
I compared the stock version of SH5 1.2 patch to the Open Horizon changes with the mods I used as a comparison using the SH5 Validator by TDW:
OPEN HORIZONS II_full v2
OH II Minefield map for TDWs Ui
OPEN HORIZONS II v2 - TDW_Mines_Subnets_Detectable_in_hydro

Here are the most important changes that I see comparing SH5 1.2 :

Compressed Fixes log I created:
I have seen the word shown below as "Asien" and I thought I have seen "Asian" elsewhere. I wonder if that possibly cause problems in Monsun Gruppe ( I have not played that yet.)

:hmmm:
I will add an extra Polish route to the Baltic campaign in patch 1:up:

Hi Mike and thanks for taking the time to make this report - most helpful:salute:

I will ensure that the update log is updated:D:up:


I first noticed these unit type errors when looking into the ctd that was common when attacking the BBs in ScapaFlow.
What I found was that ME2 was making these errrors. They were written like this when you insert a unit into a campaign layer by name rather than type (type is the most common way to add units because it will select random units of that type to spawn in game.)
For some missions/objectives I needed to add the named units. What is also written is this "Class=*unit-name*, also it gets "TargetType=0" rather than "=1".
So I think that where a target is set in the campaign.cfg by name the game only reads the class rather than the type (as defined by 1 and not 0)

Anyway - I discussed this at the time with TDW and he updated his validator to look for these type errors in the campaign.cfg
I ran test but it did not fix the ctds when attacking in scapa.
Later it was found that these ctds were caused by an early version of IRAI and was then fixed in its next release (no more ctds in scapa) so I never did make all the changes.

But - with SH5 being such a fickle game - I will change these for patch1 :D


:hmmm:
Sorry - I can't see what this is, can you give more info

These are all ok and can be added to your ignor list:up:



This "playerbases.mis" is me being lazy and not tidying up my files:oops:
It is not used in the game as the Asia_PlayerBases.mis is used instead.
I will remove these unused files



Another target type error:up:



Not sure why this fixed your ctd as these target type errors are for scapa flow:hmmm:
Anyway - I will change these:up:

:oops: Lazy Trevally:oops:

Oh, if you have an extra mission. Trevally has already indicated that there is a final task. Escape from Argentina.
The U-530 did, it was a Type IXC/40.
Some may even get around to, say, within a replenishment request, so you have enough fuel to Argentina.
This is such a clever toy to reward your crew rescued from the teeth. :hmm2:

My crashes may have happened for the scapa flow mission. I remembered these ships, or same class type again, since I found them in a taskforce somewhere close to points of Ireland and Scotland. Maybe I skipped scapa flow in my frustration, not knowing I fixed the class type problem and found the ships in question sailing near Ireland on their way to scapa flow. NO more CTDs with SH5.exe and visual C++. So I probably mixed up the smaller facts. Real life delayed me to send this to you for three weeks!

My mistake then, my memory and more research now has found what I was thinking about. The Asien folder under the roster folder and AsienDEtxt.shp in the location maps folder of SH5. I was comparing it to the AsianVillage you created. Wondering if it was misspelling somewhere.

Ahoy Kalle,

Of course you can fly the Jolly Roger :yep:

Here you go; SubFlags_0_0_9_byTheDarkWraith

BTW, heard anything from Lisbet lately? :hmmm:

Hi, Trevally!

I started a new campaign with OH II v 2.0 and immediately ran into a problem: there is no way to take a secondary mission TG_British_Supplies as StartDate = 19400101, and the file PatrolObjectives_TotalGermany39.cfg StartDate = 19400410??? This is so conceived or a mistake?
Historical dates operations Weserübung-Nord = 9 April - June 8, 1940
I had previously played in a mix OH II v 1.6 and the stock game, as I did not like the emphasis on tonnage, but liked the emphasis on patrol
I suggest the following alternative:
The file Campaign.cfg fix:
ValuePointsRequired=9
ValuePointsMajorVictory=10
TG_Norway_Invasion - EndDate=19400601
The file PatrolObjectives_TotalGermany39.cfg fix StartDate secondary missions

Hi Serge

Mistake:D

I will check all these out and add to patch one
Thanks for your feedback:yeah:

Edited the post, no time
Also fix TG_Norway_Invasion - EndDate = 19400601
start date can not be changedI'll
I write more as you progress through

Doing smoothing groups will stop the Game Engine from doing the weird stuff.
This is a well known issue from SH3 and SH4.
:yep:

:salute: Hi

UV is soon finished, it remains the ropes to redo :O:
(problem with the normals...)

Hi Privateer ,what do you mean with : :hmmm::06:

:salute: Steel,

thx for the tip, but this Mod didn't taste fine in my soup. So i had to deaktivate.

Lisbeth is working on a new story and no idea where she hangs out, anyway can't talk about, you know:03:

In SH you can get sharp edges with smoothing groups or detaching some parts.
Detaching was a standard way to do things until some of us started useing smoothing groups.
Smoothing groups is a faster, better way.

To detach, select the faces you want then detach them.
They become a new object.
Smoothing works kind of the same but the faces remain a part of the same object.

Ok, Thank Privateer for the explanation :up:

I'm 600 hundred miles or more from home for the next 3 months.
I only have a basic system that I just got working to get on the 'Net.
:nope:

Part of the magic used in SH series is the smoothing groups.
It's what gives you sharp edges when you want them.
Detaching gives extra head aches but was a standard way to do things until many got better at 3D work.
I'll admit I was one that did the detaching until I got better at 3D work.
:yep:
