Well, that's simply how TheDarkWraith has implemented it and is working as intended. Although the sonarman follows the target he still does a normal sweep at the same time. He provided this as an alternative to the stock follow contact command, with the added bonus, that you are not limited to following the nearest contact, but you can select one. Plus, you can configure, at what bearing difference or at what time interval the sonarman should give you an update on the contact.

My Realistic_Hydrophone mod provides a third way to follow a contact. The sonarman will focus on the area around the followed contact, if you use that third method. This mod, however, does NOT replace/fix/disable the stock or TDW's methods to follow a contact.

Great mods , added to sobers mega mod list .

Why, thank you, sober! Please keep in mind, that this is WIP and I am working right now on the integration of the ideas and remarks made on pages 1 and 2 of this thread.

HydrophoneFollowNearestContactFix_For_NewUIs_TDC_7 _1_0_To_7_5_0 should be stable. But I hope, as soon as TDW finds some time, he will look at the issue himself, and integrate this fix or a similar one directly into his NewUIs mod, so an extra fix mod gets obsolete.

I get it , but I was unclear as usual when describing something.When I wrote "it" still sweeps 360 degrees I ment your mod. It s not a big deal as long as it s the animation, but on your video it was sweeping back and forth.
I found a contact on hydstation and pressed "0" . when I exit station it went back to 360 sweep. It did update though.

So, to get you right. After pointing the hydrophone needle at a contact and pressing "0" you get a confirmation (both audible and in the message log) that the sonar man is following the contact and he keeps you updated on the contact after that? It's just he continues to sweep all around?

That indeed indicates a problem. It's hard to tell what's wrong from here though. You can do 2 things to help narrow it down.

First:
a. Before you start the game, run <SH5 Install Folder>/data/Applications/Dbgview.exe (that program is part of TDW's NewUIs Mod)
b. Start SH5 and load a historical mission
c. Once you are ingame in your sub, tab out to Dbgview and search (Ctrl-F) for one or both of the following lines

Quote:

ProcessMemory: module SHControllers.act not found
ProcessMemory:VirtualProtectEx failed. GetLastError =

Second:
Disable all your mods and activate just TDWs NewUis and Realistic_Hydrophone_1_0. If sweeping back and forth works then, there might be an incompatibility between my mod and one of your previously installed mods, that I am not aware of yet.

First: I did not find those lines. I copy pasted from your post, but was unsure of that search thingy. I fiddled around a bit with sifferent options but never found them.

Second: It works in a historical . I tried both historical and in campaign without luck earlier . I basicly have sobers list so it s interresting if he gets it running correct.

edit: starts doing 360 sweeps after REM is installed. removed and verified it works again. Not sure what to do now ..time for compromise maybe? Have not tried with all mods xpt REM yet. I just added until it stopped working following my list

I'll have a look at it. Maybe I can find a way to make them work together. Until now I didnt know that my MOD conflicts with R.E.M. Thank you for pinpointing that; It must have been a tedious procedure.

I ran into the same bug and came here only to find Husksubsky was having the same issue. I also did not have those lines in my debugger. I was going through and adding hydrophone-related mods one at a time when I decided I should refresh this page. Glad I did :P

Am messing with REM now to see if it works the rest of my list

interesting finding guys :up:

As I have noted in more than one occasion, also on this thread, REM is different from other sensor mods in that, in order to simulate different detection ranges at different depths, it uses two or three SensorData controllers for each hydrophone. My suspect is that while one of the controllers is locked on the selected target by tscharlii's script, the remaining controllers keep sweeping the sensor normally :hmm2:

I just had it working on sobers mega mod list . My hydrophone guy was sweeping the contact back and forth .

What was your depth? My guess is that you were at a depth which excluded the usage of more than one SensorData controller.

still 360 for me at 40 something depth. No Idea why it sweeps for sober thats just frustrating.:hmmm:. I go to the Pedestral mission,l dive , go to hyd station, point at sound,press zero, verify guy following contact and exit hyd station.

Could you try again at periscope depth?

All times was at periscope depth xpt last time I tried at 40 I ll try agai various depths and tell if it starts sweeping back and forth. I ll even try truning the boat
