Thank you h.sie and Magic1111. Every thing is fine for now.:) Could you be kind enough to show me a "print screen" of your JSGME and your active MODS? I always had a tough time with certain mods that overwrite others and yield unexpected results. I lost so many patrols to save files failures. I am trying to come back to SH3 at 100% realism now:DL

Don't worry h.sie you're not the only one to be "outlonged" by Magic1111:haha: I am as well

regarding magics long list:

i strongly recommend not to use any "longer repair times" mods like h.sie's LLRT in conjunction with my patched exe. they are obsolete now.

if i were you i would start with blank SH3+GWX and would install only those mods I really need - in order to prevent mod-salad.

Yes, I agree this, because it costs me days, weeks and month (and often frustation :wah:) to create my MODs in this order, that I can play without any mistakes or CTD´s !

Best regards,
Magic

Careful with that can of worms. I have allowed the discussion here because it is a patch or exe applied to someone's legitimate SH3.exe. I.e., no UBI files, hacked or not, are distributed at all, and it can only be applied to a SH3.exe you already own (How you got that exe is not our business, obviously, but we presume it must be legitmate unless we have reasons to think otherwise).

As long as you guys keep distributing a patch or program that:

1) Does not contain any UBI files
2) Does apply only to the user's legitimate and in his HDD installed game

It should be OK. Mind you, I don't think it should be so difficult for you guys to create a simple nice interface for the patcher that offers you a list of items to check before applying the patch (CO2 limit, IWO ranges not precise, etc.).

I have suggested in the past patching the files in question.
Not releaseing full blown edited versions.
There is no reason to have to spend even 1 minute to patch files by hand.
A proper patch would do it automagically.

And the 'Can of Worms' is not under my control.
I think you took my post in the wrong lite.
I'd think you know me well enuff by now to know I would not release
full versions of said files.

h.sie's 'patch-batch' does it properly... :up:

I know I can trust you Jeff, it was more a matter of advicing other (newer) members before they replied to your post and the same old discussion opened again :up:

So would it be a good idea to restrict the snorkeling speed to a certain value (about 5 knots)? (that would be easier than giving the snorkel a damage penalty when used for speed > 5kts.)

Should I try to consider wave height? if yes, I need details. Thanks, guys.

Well if that is possible it sure would be the best solution. :yeah:

Only problem is that we would be going flank for 5 knots then? Seems problematic due to fuel consumption, noise, etc.

It must work with ahead 2/3 at most :hmmm:

to be completely sure I didn't misunderstand you:

restricting speed (and fuel consumtion/noise accordingly) would do the job?

Dont worry about fuel consumption. No need to link snorkel damage to engine speed, just to SPEED.

Player will select whatever engine speed he wants, as long as the uboat total speed doesnt surpass 5kts.

There's one more thing that needs fixing, might be on the .exe.

Last patrol I was depth charged and they destroyed my tube 5, on my IXB.

I had a torpedo inside that tube, so I ask the crew to unload it, so I could load it at tube 6, which was intact.

The torpedo kept being reloaded back on tube 5, I couldnt switch to tube 6.

Is that realistic? Or was it possible to make the switch?
