You couldn't include dear TheDarkWraith in your FX Update for SH5 by TheDarkWraith fashions of an exhaust of diesels of the submarine?

I made a sub exhaust mod. You can find it in the SH5 MODS forum. It is not part of FX Update as some people don't like the exhaust :up:

TheDarkWraith, thanks for that that answered. I asked you because, at installation of yours fashion of SubExhaust_1_0_5_byTheDarkWraith in the assembly I have CTD. If I put fashions of FX_Update_0_0_19_TheDarkWraith that CTD doesn't occur....:wah:

PS. Yes, the reason was in other to fashion, most likely, fashion of a flag of the submarine.

Hey TDW! :salute:
I hope you're not busy to much...I'm really having a hard time to understand how your OllyDbg tool actually works. In order to provide you good screenshot with OllyDbg report I'll need more detailed instructions. :hmmm:

Or maybe it's better idea for me to tell you how to reproduce CTD? It's really easy to reproduce...

No way...I've tried to attach SH5 process few times but most of the time I'm not even able to get back the game after that...The game just freezes...:nope:

The game is freezing because ollydbg is giving an error with a process . You need to hit some combination of keys to bypass it .

I got this error after sinking some merchants . I think it was around the time of them firing red and white star shells . No ctd , I just to hit enter key .

Hi TDW,
I've discovered one more SHcolision.act CTD scenario with probable cause and even rough solution. I hope that you could shade more light on this issue...

So, the game will CTD (fault module SHcolision.act)when AI unit is engaged with deck gun and then declared dead by the game, but without catastrophic explosion.
Few minutes later , when the same unit "burn off" and catastrophic explosion occurs , at the same moment the game will CTD, not every time but most of the time...

Ineresting thing is that, if I remove manually TDW_FXU_Debris_Materials.DAT from library folder, I wont be able to reproduce this CTD anymore. But of course, floating debris wont be rendered in the game.

Looking forward for some info on this issue...

Well, I've got good news and the bad news...
Bad news are I couldn't replicate CTD and the good news are - I couldn't replicate CTD...:D

Continuing testing...

Some how I'm having a feeling that casualties are involved (poor men flying around when shell hits) and today I couldn't spawn any casualties no matter how hard I struck the ships...:hmmm: We'll see...

And I have finally isolated the cause for this issue! :yeah:

It's effect from zone.cfg file

Code:

[DistressFlareWarship]

Multiplier=1.000000

Flotability=0.000000

Critic Flotation=0.300000

Armor Level=-1

HitPoints=130

Destructible=No

Critical=No

;Effect1=Command_room_crewman_splinter_explosion_escort, 40

Effect2=Distress_Flare_Red, 75

FloodingTime=59.999996

CargoType=None



[DistressFlareMerchant]

Multiplier=1.000000

Flotability=0.000000

Critic Flotation=0.300000

Armor Level=-1

HitPoints=65

Destructible=No

Critical=No

;Effect1=Command_room_crewman_splinter_explosion_merchant, 40

Effect2=Distress_Flare_Red, 75

FloodingTime=59.999996

CargoType=None

I would strongly suggest to everyone to disable this effect .

Hey, nice work vdr1981:up:
It seems to me that many modmakers should see your post, 'cos as far as I know there is zone.cfg file in such popular mods as Open Horizons, R.S.D. and many others:hmmm:

Hiya TDW. I got to around page 16-20, checking to see if this mod still works with BRF1.3 Full. I saw nothing that mentioned it was not, yet in the first page description you say to not use it at all?
I like the sinking effects of BRF. I also love the work you have done here. I would like to use your mod, but am not willing to stop using BRF1.3 Full, as the sinking mechanics mean more to me than fx stuff:P
But if it is still compatable then I will download it straight away!

This looks amazing by the way!

Can anyone tell me if this works with BARF anymore?

Hiya,

First page .............

WARNING: NO VERSION OF BARF CAN BE USED WITH THIS MOD! DOING SO WILL RESULT IN RENDERING THIS MOD INEFFECTIVE AND POSSIBLE CTDS

:salute:

The Problem is, that I don't find any ships in the first mission of the OH2-Totally Germany Campaign.
There are only two polnish U-Boats but no Destroyer and no Merchants.

It took me a but load of work to figuring out what mod is causing the problem. If I remove the FX Update mod everything is fine.
I don't understand this, OH2 is overwriting some mods but not mod is overwriting OH2. :hmmm:

Is this mod compatible with Wolves of STeel modpack?
