Does anyone know whether there was a 'detailed wave ripples' graphics option in 1.1? I don't remember it but that might just be me.

Try 9knts for target speed and see what the PK says.

#3 Torpedo Attack:
Subs' Heading = 000 due north and speed 0
Target heading = 102.674
Target speed = 9knts

New 1.2 patch bug found
 
Just stumbled on this new bug.. I dunno if it's nvidia cards, patch or just my pc related. But I sure did not have it before installing the 1.2 patch

I found it because I was testing my Balao skin with the new patch.
In first subschool mission Navigation.. the boat is pretty close to shore.
I saw that there was a white outline below the water.

At first I thought this was related to my boat.. So I tried it with an original skin and voila same problem.. As soon as I am a few miles of shure the problems goes away.

Anybody else has this problem ?

I did a crash dive. Once I started to go under I hit the "a" key. A red arrow appeared on depth gauge showing the depth I was at when pressed. Of course momentum carried me deeper but the boys brought her up to the depth eventually.
The red "arrow" indicates periscope depth (for shallow water indicator) and maximum depth (for deep water indicator). You will notice that the red "arrow" is always displayed.

This red "arrow" existed on real submarines.

It was just an accident that you were at periscope depth at that moment when you pressed A. :D

Yep, everything was set up as I normally do when I play this mission (i use it for testing various mods,) Usually I get 100% hits. It's no doubt a mistake on my part, though. I probably forgot to update the tdc with some information.

After patching, SHIFT-F2 always takes you back to the "free cam" in the internal F2-view...

:nope:
:cry:

not an essential feature, but I agree, I'll miss it :-?

It's an artifact when you combine the water transparency with FSAA. So its a problem with one of the pixel shaders.

BTW: very important for ATI video cards owners: only use symmetrical AA (4x, 8x, 16x). Never use asymmetric AA (6x etc). This will activate a bug in the driver and the fonts will look very bad. This happends also with other games, like World Of Warcraft etc.

So it's not an nvidia or PC problem.. good to hear that I am not the only one..
But bad that it's there :down:

Tube doors
 
Looks like multiple doors can be opened now :arrgh!:

See this great thread! --> http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111616

and torp tracks are visible on the attack map again.

**** Correction: seems they still disappear past the IDL ****

I'll work on sh4bugs.com tonight and start flagging bugs as fixed in 1.2 as needed. If anyone wants to help, dive in...

shad43 04-17-07 02:18 PM
Patch 1.2 *meh* whats the big deal? all this is, is patch 1.1 with a few small additions.
Don't get me wrong Im greatful for the fixes as such but theres really nothing big here.
back to modding I guess.

oritpro 04-17-07 02:24 PM
It just figures that my hard drive decided to flake out on me this last Saturday and it will be a day or two before the new one arrives from Newegg!

Looking forward to playing on the new patch later this week though!
