Are there problems with Stiebler u-tankers fix? Or is there something wrong with it, a bug oder etwas?

I don't think so. Stiebler & me are currently working on V2 of his U-Tanker fix. V1 modelled repairs and refuelling

V2 also models loading of 1-4 (random) air torpedoes.

Why do you ask???

I didn't know why it was not added to your fixes to this day - now we have two possibilities: to use your new fixes and lose the Stiebler fixes (eg. great u-tanker fix), or use Siebler fix and lose your new fixes - it is a sad choice. Or maybe I do not understand something, and we can use them both together?

@Bonk: When I needed a rest from modding some months ago, Stieber decided to continue to work, because he didn't know how long my rest would take. So he continued with his own project, based on my V15E3. After 1 month, I restarted modding and now I will include his fixes one by one, besides my own modding ideas.

But I have to adapt his fixes to my programming system and personal taste, and that takes time. Currently I have only 2 hours of free time a day. Also I try to add some enhancements (in cooperation with Stiebler) like torpedo reloading when "pseudo"-docking at a U-Tanker.

I don't know why but I have some problem loading saved files after I have installed the V15E3 NOSF. (it was the first time I used your mod).
I'm stuck in the same patrol from 1 month.
Every time I try to load the saved files I got CTD, I have some 7 or 8 saved point and got the same CTD for all of them except the first one.
I restarted the patrol a couple of time but to no avail.
It's just me or someone else got the same problem?
I installed the mod before start a new patrol.
Before save I'm used to go at max TC and if the FPS don't drop I'm sure there are no other ship near me.
Even tried to load without V15E3 but got the same CTD.
Any clue?

Thanks

This should be a strong enough indication that the CTD isn't caused by my patch.

To be 100% on the safe side, I recommend to load savegames with the same sh3.exe version which has been used to create/save the savegame. Or in other words: Do not patch during a career.

A possible cause for CTD is a different mod configuration between saving and loading savegames.

So I should restart my entire career before instal your mod?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining ;)
Your mod it's so wonderful I can't live without :(
Today I will restart the patrol and don't stop till the end ;)

...or finish your old patrol with original sh3.exe, as an alternative.

But as you said: this also crashes. so I recommend to first find the reason for that. there are a lot of possible reasons for CTD during savegame reload.

* save when submerged
* save when near convoy

(please use the search function for more causes).

and hopefully have fun with the patches.
greetings to italy!

Yes, I know all this thing and I try to avoid them.
today I finshed the 24 patrol and the next saturday I will see if I will get the same issue.
Thanks for your help.

Hi h.sie !

After play a while with patch V15F3 I must say, all works perfect, especially the Fog Warning and the Text-Message "4818=Nebel zieht auf." and then return to TC16 ! :up:

Now my question: Is it possible, that we become a Text-Message, when the Fog is over and/or the weather is improving. For example "Der Nebel ist vorbei", or "Das Wetter verbessert sich", or similar !

Is it possible ?

Best regards,
Magic

Hi all,

Running V15F3 and everything works as advertised. Thank you.

I have read all the comments and science on the O2 functionality and I love the added dimension to the game, however, travelling submerged to avoid air patrols before snorkels means that I am down to 50% O2 before reaching the patrol area. I am happy to be told this is as it was, but I have not read any KTB where this issue was raised.

I know it has been said that a couple of hours is insignificant with respect to convoy attacks and evading escorts, but summer travel with long periods of daylight is causing me all sorts of problems. I have so far got around this by surfacing as required, to refresh the air.

My question is, am I doing it right? Does anybody have any knowledge of how this was managed by the U-Boats?

Yes IIRC Kaleuns only used the ordinary oxygen in the boat before resurfacing so as not to exhaust quickly the other (bottled) supply. Think that once the diesels are started, the boat can be ventilated in just 5 minutes, and anyway they had to recharge batteries for a longer period usually :up:

Great stuff,

I'm very much looking forrward to trying the latest version, V15e worked flawlessly for me. I just ordered up another copy of SH3 for £2.99 from Amazon UK so that I have the no starforce v1.4 patched version as my version is the original purchassed when the game first came out and any stability improvement are always welcome although I haven't had too many problems really. I also took the opportunity to buy the U-boat add on for SH4 and also Battle Stations Pacific both at a reasonable price. I bought SH4 when it came out but have never installed it and Battle stations midway lived on my pc for about 2 days before I un-installed it. I wish I'd just bought SH5 for £8 rather than what I paid when it came out as I've only launched it about three times and it hangs about on my hard disk not getting used along with 99.99% of my other games. In fact I've virtually given up buying and playing games now as they just don't do it for me anymore but at these prices then I can at least try 'em cheaply and don't get agrieved at watching them gather dust un-used :).

Fantastic work chaps, much appreciated, can't wait for what might come next.

Kind regards

@Adour: As Hitman said: Just surface from time to time to recharge batteries and let new oxygene flow into the boat. after some minutes you'll see the message "oxygene back to normal 21%". Doing so, you'll not consume the oxygene supply.

@Magic: I like your idea and have already programmed it. In forthcoming V15G you'll have two messages "fog sighted" and "fog disappearing".

@Aces: Thanks, mate. Glad you like it.

I am assuming V15F is still in beta since I don't see on the first page? :hmmm:

:)
