:hmmm: Is that before or after the IID turm issue? Are you still doing the IID career? The Turms are in the Objects folder, along with sim and other assorted files. I do not remember how the Stock turm upgrades on the Pacific side go... do you happen to remember? It seems to me that you should be asked if you want to accept... The radio room is in the turm, so... :hmmm:

If so, it’s normal...there is only one representation of sub per type (1 for II, 1 for VII etc) :yep: - About the compartment 3 not visible...i don’t know! :doh: - About the « can’t comply the order » after the upgrading, it seems you have run in a known old OM bug ... Below is what i found in Surviving OM career thread to solve this bug. From SKIDMAN: « Both the Typ VII and the Typ IX U-Boat will receive conning tower upgrades as the game proceeds. Every time I was awarded a new "Turm", the result was a submarine that could not move forward, or backward. A "Cannot comply" message was displayed instead. The crew screen showed missing and empty slots. This bug has been experienced and described before, and -as lurker put it- it is a nasty one. So from my experience a conning tower upgrade means end of your career. This is not acceptable. How can you continue? Well, there is a workaround: You have to create a dummy file. 1.) Open your saved games folder (SH4/data/cfg/SavedGames), locate the folder that contains the autosave_on_leaving_base-file using the file creation date and time and make a backup copy. 2.) Fire up SH4 and start a new career. Choose date, type of boat and flotilla to match the state of your career as close as possible. Start a new mission. Save the game. 3.) From the new folder (the one you just created in the saved games folder when you saved the dummy game ) you will need the ActiveUserPlayerUnits-file. Copy it to the desktop and open the copied file using a text editor (i.e. wordpad) 4.) Open the ActiveUserPlayerUnits-file from the autosave_on_leaving_base-folder (Step 1) with your text editor 5.) In the AUPU-File from the dummy locate: [UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1. CrewMemberSlot 1] copy this line and the following lines till [UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1.UnitPart . UpgradePackSlot 1] near the end of the document. 6.) Replace the lines (Step5) with the content of the clipboard in the AUPU-File from the autosave_on_leaving_base-folder. Save the file. 7.) Copy the manipulated file to the UPCINitial Folder of the autosave_on_leaving_base-folder. 8.) Fire up SH4, choose "Load Game", open the autosave_on_leaving_base-File and play on. Your rank, medals, tons sunk and crew will be preserved and your boat will have the new conning tower. Sounds complicated, but OM forces you to go through this again and again and practice makes perfect » Now if our friend Propbeanie has some time to look into the compartment 3 (radio) missing on crew management page ...and why we can’t refuse any new turm...it would be more than welcome :yeah: :D |
My thought is that the fact that the player does not get the choice dialog of "Do you want to accept the upgrade?" is the main symptom. I cannot remember for sure for certain at this time, but it seems to me that on the US side of things, that a player does get asked the question "do you want the new turm (conning tower)?". The "cannot comply" is because parts of the boat are now "missing" in its configuration.
KaleunMarco, which picture is which boat above? Is that the IID with the new turm up top, or the IID with the old turm up top? I ask because my old eyes cannot read the text on the screen grabs you have... sorry... :roll: - I'm guessing it's the new turm in the top picture above? :salute: |

notice the lack of Radio Room when compared to the lower screen which is BEFORE the change. please note that i did NOT have any personnel on station in the Conning Tower before the change. only the Radio Room went MIA. literally. slight change of tack here..... PB, i remember doing some test work with you late-last-year-early-this-year in OpM that involved equipment option decisions. i believe it was in the Murmansk campaign. i cannot find my notes. do you remember any of that work? which files were we manipulating to change the upgrade-decision options? as i remember, we were able to fix one or more decision trees and actually fix something.:timeout: |
Oh golly... [digs through paper on the desk and computer folders] :hmmm: [panic] - the fog of war has left me corn-fused... :timeout: :o - I are lost in a sea of "too much information" lately, and cannot pull the details from the recesses of the grey matter... my brain is back in grade school, on recess... :arrgh!: - that was the turm AA guns, wasn't it?... or was it the radar detector??... the dates were overlapping... maybe... :timeout: :hmmm: :salute:

unfortunately, it did not work. i performed the create-a-new-career-copy-paste-into-bad-game twice. the game is being obstinate. what can i say? (rhetorical american idiom) |
:hmmm: A clue! A clue! :hmmm: - but what does it mean, monsieur??...
You not getting a "new" career with your old stats, while in a IID with the new turm should not be... perhaps date the career one day later?... You are supposed to get the new turm "1941-01-01"... what date was it? :salute: |

There should not be a problem building a new career and copying over the new data then... :hmmm: If you start a new career after January 1, 1941 in a IID, you should get the proper turm... I'll dig some into this when an upload of mine is finished... :salute:

my original start date was September 1, 1940. i'll try it one more time. |
yes, you would find it difficult to find a matching start location... :hmmm:

I’m afraid i can’t do much to avoid it. It happens only at night with the moon shine reflection. One side emblem is ok while other side emblem is too bright...depending where is the moon. It affect also the flag sometimes. Choosing much better performances, or nice emblems rendering?...choice is done :D BUT i managed to decrease a lot this brightness effect :up: Still testing... ÉDIT: think i nailed it! :salute: |
SOLVED!
From that: https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers...4-resultat.jpg To that: https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers...4-resultat.jpg Some fine tuning of URC was needed :up: Will be available in update 8 soon... |

the previous two times i was in auto-mode and missed the change in Folders in step 7. once i did that, i was able to continue my career. one thing....when one uses this technique, one will be allowed to continue their career however the crew will be new. :Kaleun_Salute: |
