Oops,

Looks like you've found the first error. Sorry. Easy to fix.

I made a mistake in the tweak files for depth charges and hedge hogs.

In the tweak files:

DepthCharges_zon.txt -

Bad:
search,MinRadius,1,single,>2,MaxRadius
Change to:
search,MaxRadius,1,single,>2,MaxRadius


DC_X_H_zon.txt -

Bad:
search,MinRadius,1,single,>2,MaxRadius
Change to:
search,MaxRadius,1,single,>2,MaxRadius

I'll correct the files and upload a new TweakFiles.txt package. No harm done here thankfully.

TT

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I already fixed it but then I had trouble with this forum so could not respond to say it was fixed lol.

It was a easy enough mistake to make. I make loads :oops:

p.s. I am having fun halving all the shell values.

Very nice. :up:

So now we can all make flying Uboat movies, like CCIP? :yep:

Thanks a lot for job and effort ...Timetraveller ! :up:

good work

It's not as easy as it looks, you know. :P

Awesome stuff as always TT! :up:

This will make those "black hole" files much more accessible to all users!

I've put my nose around the torpedo_sim,searching for the infamous "unused torpedo type" and i've found the reference about a torpedo,with a speed of 45 knot and a range of 8000.From the name of the torpedo (Steinbarsch Walter) i think is based of the famous Walter engine.Someone know how to make it available in game?I would love to use it with my XXI sub :yep:

Yes, that seems to be the mystery 11th torpedo. Not sure how one would go about using it in-game.

TT

I've googled a bit...it seems it's for real a Walter-Engined torpedo
The "Impulse" value it is the same as the other torpedo.It doesnt seem unbalanced.
I wonder why they dont make it useable :doh:

You can always replace one of the torpedos you do not use much in game (such as maybe the worthless T-2) with the same values as that "Walter Turbine" torpedo, and copy over any renown and availability data.

Change the T-3 to include the T-2 era. Or replace one of the FAT I or II torps pretty much worthless also.

Thus a simple way to have the infamous torpedo in game. ;) Be sure to know if it was a 'bubble free' torp (needs an electric model to substitute for).

BTY: TimeTraveler's new tool is great! :P What a time saver for changing those myrad of values. And it is good for the 'hex disabled' modders out there. :-j

UPDATE: That torp used the expermental Hydrogen Peroxide to use as an oxidizer for the fuel. it was tried on under water submarines to acheive much power underwater. I do not know if it produced water bubbles or not. If it did, then is was not much better in performance than the T-1 steam torpedo.

Wonderful tool timetraveller!

Always been a user of your other SH3 utils. Although I'm pecking through learning the basics of hex editing, your tool makes it that much easier to do changes.

Thank you!

:up:

I'm having a spot of trouble with the SH3 Inspector program. I've downloaded and installed MiniTweaker, Inspector and File Analyzer, and while MiniTweaker and File Analyzer run fine, when I try and run Inspector I get the error message: "Unable to read/find SH3 registry key".

Any idea what's up?

Do you mean the Color Inspector?

No. It's the one called "SH3Inspector".

Deck Gun Tracer
 

You had mentioned earlier that you can improve the tracer on the deck gun but i couldnt find the post. Can you remind me again how you actually do it.

Who are you asking? The last post was almost two years ago.

:rotfl:




:arrgh!:

If you want to watch better the tracer shells, you can download my Gun FX Stage 4 mod... at my signature.

Pros... you will be able to aim so far. You can see the shells with full zoom up to 10km.

Issues... looks a little weird at day with binoculars (some uncompatibility with day fog) , but looks too nice at night.
