Have you enabled the special abilities first ?

Thanks that was the missing step. Abilities are working. Leaving port.

I think Rongle is working on Torpedo Malfinctions that is also related to these files.

Do you plan to work with Rongle in adding another level of realism to game?

Hi, thx for this mod, it s a real alternative to no magic skill mod who still unfinished.

A couple of questions...

Do the torpedo man abilities affect the TDC ?
If i have correctly understand your mod, now, crewmen don t received xp, and there aren t any new skill to learn ??

Thx.

Ya - it is the passive one that bugs the torp speed.
I can't remember the actual one but it could be range (each torp type has a run time set - extra range was added by making it go faster for that set run time :nope:).

If you have given points to the torp man then yes you do need the fix. The fix is within MO if you use that.:up:

Thx Trev. I stopped using Mo. I better look if I can find the fix only.

here is what i used for the torpedoman

Hi Sober,

question regarding "DiveSpeed":

ithink the dive speed or better "crash dive speed" is still untouched by a mod and is unrealistic high (low time), does your mod take care of realsitic untrained and realsitic trained crew diving times ?

Does this part work as intended .

[SpecialAbility 1]
ID=Ability-Active-Repair-Destroyed-Items
AbilityType=CanRepairDestroyedItems, SurfaceSpeed
AbilityValue=1, -90
RunOnActivate= IfIsSurfaced

You can repair destroyed items but you must be surfaced and your surface speed is reduced to 10% of your top speed while fixing the items . In other words to fix destroyed items you cannot have enemies around .

I think "crash dive speed" is broken in the game and can't be used. It will only increase or decrease the surface speed:cry:.

Hello Sober. Thx for the mod... I have one question though, because I think that I may have made a mistake somewhere.

The first time I applied the sonarguy ability, then asked the guy, I had a CTD (but afterwards, and without making any changes in the modsoup, I never managed to repeat that, so you may disregard it).

The second time, the sonarguy got his +25% but his moral didn't change.

The third time, the sonarguy got ANOTHER +25%, and again no moral loss (so now he's got a 100% efficiency).

The other crew abilities doesn't seem to make a difference.

Don't think your mod was ment to behave like this, so I probably made a mistake somewhere. This is my modsoup and it is stable right now. SAS is not overwritten (still black in JGME).

Thx for your help!

Thankyou for the detailed feedback . I will have a look at it . That is how modders fix things by feedback , thankyou . Usually all i get is this mod sux :O:

No problem, but I am not much of a beta tester myself. oh, btw, I think I made a mistake with the other guys abilitie. Let me see if I can explain it:
1. Tried talking to the guys and enable their special abilities. In thedialog box the special abilieties were greyed, so I couldn't.
2. Then I went to the crew management screen and enable the abilities there.
3. Then I tried talking to the guys and their special abilities were selecable (I didn't check if it worked, but assumed this was the way it was ment to work)
4. I tried the same thing with the sonar guy (enable the ability from the crew management screen), then went to talk to him, but the options were the usual ones (total reveal, reveal hidden enemies, ertc... CTD)
5. Then I tried again in the management screen and the sonar guy got its +25
6. I tried to talk, same options, no CTD
7. Quit and restart game, management screen, another +25 (total efficiency).

I am at work now, when I get to my pc again this afternoon I will try to check the abilitires from the other guys through the dialog box.

Tolkemec , did you start a new career . In port install is no good .
I dont have this behaviour so we must get to the bottom of this :hmmm:
