The longest repair I have had using hollywood advanced is a few hours...but, supposedly you could have repairs lasting a day or more causing more flooding and realistic experience without affecting crew efficiency. I'm just curious what the approach is for both mods and what the pros and cons are for both.

From what I am getting so far....is this correct or is there more?

Longer Repair Times Mod
Pro: Very long repair times lasting days (or not at all?).
Pro: Can now read longer repairs in minutes and seconds.
Pro: No instant death (more damage experience)
Pro: Chance of more injuries or death to crew members.
Con: Crew Efficiency/Experience is set to 0 (green bar).

Hollywood Advanced:
Pro: Longer repair times (than vanilla)
Pro: Don't lose crew efficiency/experience (green bar).
Pro: No instant death (more damage experience)
Pro: Chance of more injuries or death to crew members.
Con: Most Repairs last only hours instead of days.

For those of you not familiar with Hollywood Mods they are pretty old mods that allowed your uboat to take more hull damage and cause crew to be injured more. It also added effects such as crew flying from ships during explosions. Hollywood Advanced was second version that lengthed crew repair times and extended the flooding. I've always used Hollywood Advanced with combination of NYGM's crew fatigue mod and the Hollywood Advanced crew Fatigue to get the type of effect you are describing in this Longer Repair Times mod. I'm just curious how different this one is to Hollywood Advanced method and what the pros and cons are for each.

Also, Gouldjg did you ever finish the Chaos/Randomizer you were working on? I was really looking forward to that mod. The thread I was following was closed? http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=51263 I can't seem to find the new thread you are referring to. Could you post updated link? Thanks.

Thanks alot nvdrifter and gouldjg both for your work on extending repair times through your different mods. This has been very important to my sh3 gaming experience.

Sorry for late reply tikigod

Basically, I was at one point working on some experimental stuff for GWX however a improtant job opportunity came my way and now I get very little time for PC whilst trying to settle into new job.

Like others, I am waiting for GWX and maybe in the future some time, I may even get to play.

As for Hollywood mods, they basicaly only touched the zones cfg and were limited in the ammount of time they could provide in repairs however I had a bad habbit of wanting to taunt DD's so it worked for me.

I think I will take a back seat for GWX until SH4 is released and then I will be at it again. (lets just hopt DEV team give us more damage modding potential and at least a way where modders could easily add human models in the game i.e. rag doll effects) Probably SHV

Unfortuantly my hard drive totally crashed and I have lost all CD files relating to GW or Hollywood mods

Tarrapin has some versions on his website I think.

Failing that, maybe someone here can help you.

Anyway, I would wait for GWX, me knows they have advanced in that department significantly.

I am awaiting on GWX as that will be my ultimate base mod and then I, like others will set it to suit me.

Thank You very much.
Waiting for GWX too, by the way :-)

Best Regards

So, gouldjd does this mean your chaos/randomization mod is dead? I think a randomization mod would be the most ideal for SH3.....especially with the different damage models like LRT and Hollywood Advanced....is there anyway you can make randomization packs for sh3 commander 2.6 using your previous chaos mod ideas? I would really like to see something available along these lines for download...

I will still have randomisation at the back of my mind but I want to see what GWX final product has.

They have worked for months on things so I am going to give it a good campaign of gwx only before tweaking so as to appreciate the hard work done by some of those guys.
