Torpedo Loading Problem
 
I thought I'd give GWX a rest and play SH3 (which by the way worked fine prior to my using GWX).

I have three torpedoes that have "waiting in queue for loading" and I have travelled several km and they will did not load.

The bar about the bow tube is full green and I cannot figure out why the torpedoes will not load. Oh, one of them is the forward external as well.

are you in silent running ?
if you are
turn silent running off and the torpedos will reload

And remember to surface for reloading external torpedoes, too. :up:

Rob you're either running in silent mode or you don't have enough (fresh) crew in the torpedo compartment. To load the torpedoes you must:

1. Have the autoload icon clicked in the Weps screen.
2. Disable Silent Running
3. Have enough crew in the compatment (see the bar on top of the compartments in the Crew screen. If it's fully green you're Ok)

To load external torpedoes you must
1. Be on the surface
2. Disable Silent Running
3. Have enough crew in the compartment
4. Drag the external torpedo and drop it in the internal reloads

I'm on the surface and not in silent running mode and the bar is full green and I dragged the torpedo.

Hmmm. but I will have to check to see if the auto loading is checked.

Thanks

If you drag them manually there's no need to switch auto loading on. It should work after dragging the torpedo.

Hmmmm really strange:hmm: I would suggest you save the game, exit and re-load it. See if it works then

robj250 02-14-07 06:53 AM

Well I just checked and auto-loading box is checked. I am waiting for tubes 1 and 2 to load and the external to load.

Everything is as it's supposed to be, but I cannot figure out why they are all in queue?

Could you a screenshot of your crew management room and your weapons (torpedo) management screen?

I tried that three times.

melnibonian 02-14-07 06:59 AM

How much time (game time) passed from the moment you order the torpedoes to be loaded? Also try ot leave your mouse pointer on the torpedo that is being loaded. There should be a number there. Another reason is possible damage to the torpedo tubes. Are they damaged?

I don't think so, because I fire tube 2 while waiting for tube 1 to load and the external to load. :hmm:

Yes, I can take a snap of the screen and put up the link to them.

It has been 8 hours since I fired tube 1 :hmm: and it's still in queue :down: and that's when I asked to load the external.

Ok, try this. Go into Silent Running (Z) & then come out.

There is a save/reload bug where you save while in Silent Running but when you reload the game does not show you that you are still in silent running mode.
