DotMod v0.3c-1
 

I recently downloaded the new version.
Since then the toolbars appear horizontally
Tried to change the layout to vertical in default\Steaming Assets\epicmode\hud
Then all toolbars disappeared.
Any help please?

Just getting back into Cold Waters again after a long break.

This mod is great! Thanks for the self installer as well as making it compatible with the Good Old Games version. :up:

As someone who plays a lot of the single player missions will there be increased number of subs options available to play in a given mission? Is it possible to import other missions say from the Playable Subs mod?

I have copied over quite a few submarines from both playable subs and epic mod. It takes a lot of trial and error. I learned on the fly how to use the notepad programming to get the subs to work properly. So far I have added the following classes:

French: Rubin, Suffren, Scorpene
German: Type 209 and 212
Japanese: Yushio and Oyashio
Canada: Victoria class
Australia: Oberon and Collins
Sweden: Nacken and Gotland
Norway:Ula Class
Netherlands: Walrus class
USA: Tang, Skate, and the Ohio SSGN (Guided Missile conversion)

You can also create your own single mission. I simply use a pre-existing template and make small changes like sub/ ship class that will populate and the number of sub/ ships. You can also add enemy air support to make the missions for challenging.

@ Davidtman:

Where can people download your submarines?

All of the submarines (except for the Tang and Skate) are from Epic mod and Playable Subs mod. The Tang and Skate used the preexisting models (ROC Guppy and Nautilus) and files. I simply copied and changed the names.

Thank you Davidtman!

A question: I would like to transfer one of the submarines from Epicmod to Dotmod.

Where should I look which files to find and transfer one particular submarine? Please provide a concrete example...

The easiest way I found to transfer files is do a search for the class of sub in the main game folder. This should pull up all of the files needed, then copy and past into the respective folders in Dot Mod. However each individual file may contain data that is not valid in Dot Mod. You will either need to replace that data with data that works in Dot Mod or create the new data. For example both Epic and Playable subs contain torpedoes, missiles, sonar/radar systems that are not in Dot Mod. For realism purposes I created these systems in Dot Mod

That trailer was amazing. So excited.

Choosing "Zwaardvis"...
 

I have found in the depth of the game that the Dutch submarine "Zwaardvis" is available. OK, fine...
Then why can't I simply choose that submarine in e.g. "Single missions" or in "Camaign" ???

Cold Waters DotMod v0.4
 

Looks Promising.......:Kaleun_Applaud:

Each individual single mission and campaign has its own file. To add submarines you will need to add the Zwaardvis to the file on the "Player Vessel" line.

@Davidtman:

I've put the name of a submarine on that line maybe 20 times today... Without any success!
For a change, I put the name at the beginning of the line instead of now at the end.

And guess what? Strange, but it works now!

Thank you!


EDIT: Ehh.. I mean it works indeed, by the missions! I didn't find such lines by the Campaigns, so.... What to do there?

I have never added a sub to a campaign. I almost entirely play single missions an create my own mission.

Awesome. Very exciting stuff!

Great! Looking forward to it!

Well, one more help. I’ll give you the "editor.txt" file modified and incorporating in the front row the Dutch submarine you prefer.You should allow to use it in the "single mission" reconfigured through the "Mission Editor". Make a backup of the original file and replace it in the root directory of the dot mod.I hope you find it useful.Greetings!!!:up:

Here is a short and simple gameplay video, showcasing the functionality of the Helicopter UI Panel, and the Nixie/Sonar UI Panel.
