No clicking when turning periscope- pls help
 

Hello moders.

If I'm posting in the wrong forum, pls excuse me. I am not a moder, but need your help.

I am missing the mechanical clicking sound when turning the periscope (left&right). It disappeard a while ago, maybe in process of mods re/installs...

I did a search here, but found no answer. Here is what I am running today. Pls find a moment to help. I would like to have it back... Thank you!

MY MODS LIST:
Map Labels 1.3
ROW #1 PE3 Install
ROW #2c PE3 Special effects for NSM4 Light
ROW #3a PE3 Submarine bubles and caustics and roll pitch
ROW #4 PE3 Ship_debris_SH4_with bodies
ROW #5 PE3 real reflections for harbour and objects
SCAF for SH 1.5
Hamilton Chrono Rose
Metric_Nomograph_V15
GreenLamp
ROW_Sound_Effect_v_9
NSM_40_light

One of ur mods disabled it, look for Data > Menu > Cfg > Dials.cfg

Compare it to the original file an u could find were it's changed

It might be this: Original Dials.cfg entry

[Dial45]
Name=PositionKeeper_Down_Bearing
Type=24; DIAL_SOL_BEARING
;Cmd=Set_TDC_bearing
Dial=0x0
CrtVal=0x42180002
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=360,0; degrees
Circular=Yes
CmdOnDrag=Yes
SndStep=5
SndList=1,Menu.TDC.Bearing,360

checked- looks the same, any other ideas?
 

where I can enable the mechanical clicking of the periscope? Thanks!!

quickest way is uninstaal one mod then check, do this untill you find it works and there is the conflict.

open that mod, see what files it changes then you should be able to guess which file it is. remove that file from the mod then try the mod. if it clicks then you know the file causing it, then you just need to open that file and see what was changed. doing this you should come accross something that makes sense it would effect the clicking. you get the idea and can see where im going, it all comes down to trial and error.

once you know the very detail that changes it you can "fix" the mod so it no longer changes it by changing the entry in the file or if not needed you could leave that file out of the mod.

It's the "SndStep=5" line if i recall correctly. If not that line by itself, its both of these:

SndStep=5
SndList=1,Menu.TDC.Bearing,360

I recall remarking those out in the dials.cfg. The sndstep, im pretty sure means "make a click in 5 degree increments" since the orginal bearing indicator was in 5 dgree increments. Set that to 1, and im pretty sure you'll have a whole lot of clicking going on.

Dials.cfg
 

It didn't help. Can somebody post original Dials.cfg file from a fresh install? Must get this clicking back.. :damn:

check the little light thingy on a pull out menu...

The problem was that TDC_AngleOnBow.wav was empty (4K). When replaced the wav file all worked.

Thanks to all
