The deck disappearing does not happen with the Zone file
I'm working on.

It's the same problem that the Titanic had.

So its easly fixable.:arrgh!:

Yep.
The Cabina is zoned as a Command Room.
That is a Critical Zone.
It needs to be changed.
Also, the cosh needs to be assigned as a child of the Cabina, not the main hull.
;)

I'm just a beta tester, what do I know!:88):lol:

About as much as I do.:doh:

But look how much you are learning today!!
:up:
Now you can talk about Reflection controlers
assigned to Cabinas that need the cosh attached.
Even if the Zones are wrong!!
:rotfl:

I belive i can fly, say the funnel °_° horrorific vision, this remember me Titanic development; all because the hull file was enough big for contain hull and decks togheter.

Privateer How is your development system now?

Dev system is still a no go.
I'll try installing needed tools to this backup system.
But it will not run SH3.
If need be, I can correct the zone some what by hex editing.
Until then,
change the parent of the cosh to the cabina.
that way it will no longer float if the cabina is destroyed.

The latest version works for me.
Well i have only sunk her just the once 2 torps one in the bow followed by one in the stern.
After the second torp hit she blew up in a massive explosion and sunk slightly by the stern with plenty of secondary explosions. The reason behind all the secondary explosions and there size is most likely because i have got GWX enhanced effects enabled

Will check her out again with various other sinking scenarios and report back what i find.

Here as some screens of the above sinking.

A precisation related with horizontal gravity center coordinates: she always sink by stern? Also if torpedoes hit her on the bow? :hmm: :hmm:

This time 2 shots into the Bow of her.
She managed to keep up her her original speed. But only for 6 minutes till her back end and screws rose out of the water. 3 minutes later she was at the bottom of the Atlantic.

@ Mr Chris, try 4 torpedoes, thats when the poor old girl blew her top!!:lol:

Will try that now.:up:

Well just tried the 4 torpedo salvo and she sank like a stone on a even keel in under 2 minutes.
The was no part of the ship that went missing while this happened iam at a loss as to why the upper ship disapers as Recce showed before. But it does not dispear in my game.

The only other i can bring up about the ship so far from my testing is that the ship in the recon manual looks a little different to the ship in game. Look at the areas inside the red circles. Too me they look different but i might be wrong.

If the ship takes a good hit slightly behind the forward bridge,
it may destroy the Command Room zone.
That's when the whole deck will vanish.

I'm installing a second copy of XP now so I should be able to grab all my data
files soon.

I have a slightly corrected Zone file
that fixes this problem.
