Hilo en español en subsim internacional (enlace): http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=204129










- This mod adds to the game the possibility to calculate the speed of a ship counting the revolutions per minute of the propeller. (using the hydrophone).
- Mod adds 2 charts (merchants & warships) for determining the speed of a vessel relative to its revolutions per minute. (ready to use with "usercharts" by TDW)
- RPM have been modified. Now some merchants and warships reach 99 and 129 RPM respectively. (Heard by hydrophone).

DOWNLOAD

RPM Hydrophone v2.2.1
http://www.mediafire.com/download/csokvk2d027t78b/RPM_Hydrophone_v2.2.1.7z


INSTALLATION

- Install after NewUisTDC_7_x_x and Open Horizons 2.2
- Before install v2.2.1, uninstall previous version.
- Enable in bunker or New Campaign.
- You can enable it on patrol, only if you save the game when there is no contact of vessels by the hydrophone. ~ 30km.
* Incompatible: "mod Ship_inertia"
* Compatible with Real_navigation. No relation.
* I did not find incompatibility with other MODS. for now ..
* This mod works with CSP Magui Interface for SH5.
* recommended: SH5 - No Chornometer Ticking Sound: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1707
* RPM Hydrophone mod can not be overwritten by any other mod if this overwrites files *.sim *.dsd *.cfg within data \ sea \ (ship name) \ ... Then the table of the "rpm" will be unusable and the calculations will be incorrect. Except that it is compatible.
* Mods compatible that can overwrite my mod: Fifi_NoReflections_compatible_RPM_Hydrophone_2.2.1 <-http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=204375
* RPM Hydrophone mod & Fifi_noreflections_compatible_RPM.. must be the same installed versions.

CHANGES

v2.2.1
- \data\Sea\: I've modified all files included in this folder into the mod to make the RPM charts.
- \data\sound\: "propeller_5_hyd" "propeller_4_hyd". I modified these files to increase the RPM of many ships. (heard by the hydrophone).
- sh.sdl: Added 2 entries. 653 and 654.
- I repaired the sound of some coastal vessels. (heard by hydrophone).
- TDW torpedo Patrol boat: Modified NPT.cfg. It has lowered the max-speed of 43 to 30 knots to repair the sound of the hydrophone. The ship now has sound heard by hydrophone. NPT.sim modified.
- Armed Trawler: New max speed=10knots. I've added entries "Label @ Nrtw" and "Shipsound @ Nrtw" within the file Nrtw.dsd to repair the propeller sound heard by the hydrophone. Now the ship has sound. Modified .sim .cfg and .dsd files.
- NSC_SC497 ship: armed trawler clon. modified .cfg file. 10 knots.
- New chart for merchant. V.2.2.1. I have split the chart into 2 parts. Table 1 from 40 to 69 rpm. Table 2 from 70 to 99 rpm. Ready to use with userchartsTDW.
- Merchant charts available in English or French languages. (english default)

Again new thread?
What's new this time?

PS: at the moment I'm using 1280x1024 and I'm able to see only half of your post.. why so large images?

EDIT: rather not large, but poorly edited

hi volodya


New thread because I can not change the title of the old thread.



NEW (july/6/2013): Main Mod modified. new version v2.2. Added RPM Warships chart ...\data\Usercharts\RPM_Warships_English_v2.2.dds
NEW (july/6/2013): Renamed old RPMdarktables. Now: RPM_Merchants_xxxxxx_v2.2.dds
- The mod replaces the sound file "Propeller_hyd_5.wav" by another modified version of this file, does work giving the warships up to 129 rpm. (by hydrophone).
* over 130 rpm makes the sound becomes a loop and come down to 53 rpm so that the stopper is fixed by me to 129.

yeeeee eeeah!!!!!:rock:[/QUOTE]

Ah, OK.. thanks..
Again good big work :up:

Thanks a lot for this work Mac! :yeah:

Adding most common built warships is great addition.

You can precise in your thread this mod works with CSP Magui interface too :up:
I'm using it without trouble.
Using No ticking sound for chrono mod, is VERY usefull too! (you could add the download link)

I'm hoping DrJones will add the chart for warships together with the merchant chart in his UI :06:
I've added merchant chart instead of sinus/cosinus one wich i never use, but warship chart size is too long to fit in any Magui chart, and i'm unable to resize it on screen using his pages tool...

PS: no really need of french RPM warship chart IMO...destroyers names are same anyway.

Just Downloaded the package...but where is the Chart for warships hidden....:hmmm:

In usercharts folder :salute:

hi Dr.


...\data\Usercharts\RPM_Warships_English_v2.2.dds

DONE:up: added to main post

:o ??...what else could you add to your mod? Plane RPM? (just kidding :haha:)
