Yuppers. Help yourself to any discussion or idea you wish to share. :salute:

hi,

It transpires that this phenomen was caused by RSRDC, lurker_hlb posted a fix over at Submarinesimcentral.

Copy of Lurker's thread

"RSRDC makes no changes to any of the files in Data\UPCData except for the following:

CareerStart.upc
Flotillas.upc
PatrolObjectives.cfg

The weapons dates are setup in the Ammunition.upc file in Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData


Now to "fix" your problem do the following

De-install RSRDC
Go to MODS\RSRDC_TMOv163_V410\Data\UPCData\UPCCampaignDa ta\
open CareerStart.upc with wordpad
go to line 291

change

[CareerStart 10]
ID= EarlyWar
NameDisplayable= October 1st 1942
StartTimeInterval=1942-10-01, 1942-11-30

to

[CareerStart 10]
ID= EarlyWar
NameDisplayable= October 15th 1942
StartTimeInterval=1942-10-15, 1942-11-30

Save file
Reinstall RSRDC


The main reason for the problem is the "start" date in all the subs .upc files they all have the MK23 coming online on "1942-10-02", when the you start a career the system has problems with the date being to close together"

Apologises to capt. America

i noticed this mod has a us torpedo.sim file that changes the torpedo dud rates but you never mentioned that anywhere.

what else does this mod change besides what you have already mentioned above and the unmentioned changes to torpedo dud rates i just found out about?

i like the mod but i want to know about everything it changes :hmmm:

what do the torpedo sim, zon, dat, and dsd files actually do or change in this mod?

wow !

Can you make the MK 24 Fido mine ? (air dropped accoustic torpedo )

used to sink I-52 in the Atlantic Ocean...

The Mark 24 Mine (also known as FIDO or Fido) was a US air-dropped passive acoustic homing anti-submarine torpedo used during the Second World War against German and Japanese submarines. It entered service in March 1943 and continued in service with the US Navy until 1948. Approximately 4,000 torpedoes were produced, sinking 37 and damaging a further 18 submarines out of a total of 204 fired. The torpedo was also supplied to the British and Canadian forces.

I'll use this reply to respond to both your post and pm to save time. :)

-This mod contains a new .dat file. The .dat file contains new geometry as well as heavily modified versions of the vanilla models with new uv maps. Because of this, you can not just use the textures without the .dat file and vice versa.

-The reason for the other files (.zon, .dsd, .sim) being included is because there were issues when creating the new .dat file so each torp could have its own unique texture. To make a long story short, to solve it I changed the mark 10's ID to a new number. Naturally the files I just mentioned had to be updated with the new ID of the mk10 or there would be problems.

This mod was converted from TMO to vanilla. During the process I accidentally packed the TMO version of the .sim file which reflected TMO's torp. data such as dud rates. Thanks to you and fred8615 for noticing this. :up:

I've already repacked the file with the proper vanilla version. I just checked all of the other files to make sure and they are fine. I'll update the download shortly.

@ Keltos:

Sounds cool but how would it affect the player since its an allied weapon?


p.s. I updated the first post with the patched version of the mod.

thanks for the quick reply :up:

i kinda figured it was a file mixup thing but i wasnt totally sure because you might have been doing something with the settings for realism.
