Hello!

I have come across a problem. I've been trying to make the two mods work together (ACMOLCcombi and this mod) since the patch provided by the author of this great mod didn't work for me.

I have been successful with making things look right (in periscope views) but now I have lost the ability to move periscopes, both attack and observation one. They go up and down normally, but when I enter periscope view I cannot move the view, neither with mouse nor keyboard. Could someone tell me where in commands_eng and/or cameras.dat files are the commands that control the periscope movement? (I don't know what I have done wrong)

DivingDuck 01-05-10 12:34 PM

Moin =FI=Ghost,

can you post a screenie of JSGME please?

The cameras.dat is not the file to examine when it comes to periscope controls. Youīd better check the commands.cfg and menu1024.ini files. Unfortunately I canīt tell you much about where to search as my knowledge of these files is very limited. But I can assure you that I did not apply any changes to the menu1024.ini.

This however is something you might want to try:
  • enable OH on top of ACMOLC
  • copy the commands.cfg and cameras.dat of ACMOLC to the approriate folders
  • open commands.cfg with any text editor and ad/alter the entries as described on page #4 of this DD_OH_V3.09_InstallationManual.

Regards,
DD

Thank you for your quick reply DD!

I did what you told me to - installed ACMOLCcombi, copied it's commands.cfg and camera.dat into your OH mod folder, edited commands.cfg as stated in the manual and then installed your OH and now it works fine.

Here's a screenshot of my JSGME:

Glad it worked. But I forgot to tell you that there is a downside you have to cope with. Some of the features related to cameras.dat will not work any more. But I guess thatīs not a problem that really bothers you.

DD

You were right, when I used cameras.dat from the ACM/OLC mod, the free camera in the submarine didn't work anymore. So I edited the camera.dat file from your mod and used it instead of the above, and now everything seems to work well. No more problems with the periscopes, and I have the free roaming camera again.

Thanx for this excellent mod!

I donīt use SH3 Commander. So I canīt tell what the problem is. Is there a way to save your patrol and use another type for testing, with SH3 Commander? TypeVII/C is the type Iīm doing all tests with. So, Iīm really perplexed to see you reporting this one is THE one to have problems.


Regards,
DD

I also have been having trouble with the hatch opening or closing when running SH3 Commander. I tested it both ways (with and without Commander) and its definitely Sh3 Commander modifying the Commands_en.cfg.

I posted a question to JScones in hope that this can be easily fixed. Hopefully, he'll be able to shed more light on what Commander is doing.

Isn't your problem answered a few times back on page 56 (keep reading after the post you've quoted)? :hmmm:

Hello !

I play in a multi-installation GWX3.0, WAC 4.1 and LSH v5, all in connection with the SH3 Commander and DD's OH-MOD 3.09. And everything works perfectly, I have no problems!

Best regards,
Magic

ah, so its commander? what a shame :(

Perhaps, but I don't think so. If your referring to the Malfunctions option, I have malfinctions deactivated and I still have the problem.

The only items that I have selected from options at the moment are randomize crush depth, randomize days in base, and randomize gramaphone tracks.

GOZO 01-07-10 06:00 PM

@ DD;

Check your personal messages. I think we now have a patch for ACM as well:03:.


Cheers

So should extended freecam 1.2 be installed before or after OH 3.09 or is it not needed?

Well, you stated above that "its definitely Sh3 Commander modifying the Commands_en.cfg", so perhaps as a start you could post the differences that you noticed that SH3Cmdr made to "Commands_en.cfg" that led you to that definite conclusion? Because such changes must have been manually introduced to SH3Cmdr (ie through you installing a mod into SH3Cmdr that modifies "Static settings.cfg" or "Randomised events.cfg"). So posting the changes you observed may help someone point you in the right direction.

Beyond that, as others appear to be happily running this mod with SH3Cmdr (recognising the non-SH3Cmdr based problem mentioned on page 56), you may want to review the integrity of your SH3 installation - have you got automatic rollback selected in SH3Cmdr, etc etc...

I am somewhat mystified by this problem. I have tried it both ways (with and without Commander) several times now and get the same consistent results.

Normally I do rollbacks automatically.

The version I am using of SH3 Commander is unaltered with the exception of adding the GWX and OLC Commander files. I wonder if this might be the problem? :hmmm:

I am going to try some experiements and start unchecking items to see if it isolates the problem. I'll also look at the Commands_en.cfg when the game is running with SH3 Commander and see if DD's commands are there as described in his PDF readme.

Thanks for the input.
