As far as I know there is no easy way to do that for multiplayer missions, but...

... it shouldn´t be a problem to target a friendly sub. It´s possible to target German ships and get a fire solution from the weapons officer, so subs should also work.

Yes. It´s very easy to create such a mission with the Mission Editor.

hmm.... i'm playing around with this editor now , just wish there was a mod or something. thankz for you input though. ....i wonder if ther is an sdk kit of some kind for mods to this game?

Ubisoft promised to release a SDK, but they never did... :-? But there are many ways to mod SH3, be it with a simple text editor or a hex editor.

could point me towards a link plzzz, or any more info on this topic would be helpful

Visit our SH3 Mod forum. There are a billion things you can change with a text editor alone. For example, the entire campaign system (convoys, single ships, aircraft, bases...) are text files. You can change the torpedo loadout of the sub, the crew configuration, the costs of torpedos and upgrades, time compression factors, the crew fatigue system, damage system and many other things.

thankz for taking the time to awnser my questions

You´re welcome!

I have made a Sub Vs Sub Mission..8 subs every man for himself..with Swordfish planes over head to maintain air cover

I only played it a few times but every one seemed to like it..

a couple things

First you can launch a torpedo at 49 M but yes it the deepest it will swim is 25 M..

Second because there is such limitation on that one way to fire is by Uhmm * Cough Cough um using the follow ship camera


also looking at the TDC map firing manualy which is a challenge but can be done..

I will post it if any one wants to try it

Multiplayer Mission Set to 0 Players?
 

I've created a multiplayer mission and went to try it online and I get a message saying that the mission is set for 0 players. How can that be? I've checked the human control box for the subs. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing but for the life of me I'm not sure what it is.

Mutlti player mission problem
 

You need to make sure the folder in which your mission is in has exactly the same name as the mission. i.e if mission is called "test.mis" the folder its in must be called "test" then it will work. Had same problem myself when 1st editing. Good Luck

how to convert a mp mission into a sp mission
 

when attempting to convert a mp mission into a sp mission i am experiencing game crash issues. i switch the check boxes in mission editor parameters to convert it over to sp then validated the mission. after 15 minutes of gameplay time it crashed. i revalidated it then opened the mission file itself to delete the other u-boats along with thier waypoints, revalidated , tried mission and crashed again.
i've made simular attempts with other mp missions and they all crash at different points but they all crash. some won't even start so i must be doing something wrong even though they pass validation. i have no successfull mp conversions yet.

i run p4 2.8ghz with 1024mb ram & a 128mb nvidia gforce fx5600 grafics card

if you guys cant help me then i guess my only option is to do an autopsy and recreate the missions i wanted to convert from scratch.

You should check the "time filter". Sometimes units can be missed, because you limit the time filter to something small, and that units entry/exit date lies outside of this range.

Another idea, would be to give a mission to a friend to try. If it works, then the problem is not the mission, but probably something in your SH3 installation.

Hey Dood's!

I know its a little silly after twenty years of subsimming but
i have never played an online game of SH3 and need some
tips and cautions for M/P Mission Design.

In short although proficient completely at single mission design
I dont know the ins and outs of mp.

Q: Do I have to put more than one Player sub into the mission

Q: if yes do I need to put in one for each potential Player

Q: assuming Yes then I Can set them up to spawn in close
formation simultaneously Yes?

Q: Uberboot mod is heavily modified configs and dats.
will we be able to play online?

Q: all players must have same Datafile/mods to work?

Any help would be apprecitated especially tips and
suggestions beyond these questions.

thanks in advance.
