[WIP]Guns, Guns, Guns
 

Well i had some fun today and thought about the gun systems onboard submarines. After a few hours playing about in the packages folder i added a few more guns and differnt settings for them. For example turning the single 40mm bofor into a surface only attack. I know its not realstic but i cant seem to get them to engage surface and air targets. So the run down is something like this

3" / 50cal Anti-Aircraft Gun (Can engage surface targets by manual overide by player if located on bow mount of submarine)
Fires a slow rate of fire but does extreme damage to aircraft. Chances of hitting aircraft are slim.
80 Flak Rounds
20 HE Rounds


Single 40mm Bofor - Surface Attack Only
Engages surface vessels only but can be overiden to act as AA gun by player control.
150 AP
250 HE
Twin 40mm Bofor - Air Targets Only
350 HE
250 AP

On other things i added was a set of dual combos. Its now possible to add dual weapon systems like 3" AA guns front and rear, 2x twin 40mm bofors, 40mm singles, other mixture of combos were added. The only problem i found was some of the crew when assigned to the weapon do not appear to mount it but the weapon is still operates. Some have only one crew member operating it, this happens mostly on the stern mount deckgun.

But yeh im gonna setup the renown bits and dates at which this appear etc and then pack it up and upload the files.

Il do two releases one which keeps the weapon systems for the 40mm single to engage air and 3" back to cannon etc.

Stay Tuned

Demon :arrgh!:

Im almost finshed in making sure it all works well the 3inch AA gun now fires further at distant air targets and made the flak round work better. I still got a few things to cleanup and im hoping to add differnt sounds to differnt weapons as stated in me other thread abouot adding sounds? Im thinking about changing the Twin 40mm Bofor to fire a flak round is well.

Now about changing what needs to be done to allow differnt weapon systems is kinda tricky and im never good at explaining things well, but here goes.

The files which need to edited are:

\Data\UPCData
Weapons.upc
UpgradePacks.upc

\Library\USSubParts

[UpgradePack 33] - Must contine from the last UpgradePack 31,32,33 etc....
ID= UpackCustom1 - Same as above, must not be a copy of something already named.
FunctionalType= UpFTypeWeaponCannon - I am not entirly sure what these does.
UpgradePackSlotType= USDeckGunAdv - Must be USDeckGunAdv for dual weapon systems.
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1= 1941-01-01, NULL, 3000 - The dates at which this becomes available and not available. 3000 = Renown
IDLinkUpgradePackElements= 5in25calUS, 3in50calUS - The weapon systems used. Bow > Stern i think although not sure have to do more testing.

Well im gonna sort this out it seems theres quite a few things i need to do.

Oh yeh someone help me in finding out how to add sounds to the weapons.

Demonz :arrgh!:

Demon I built a mod for myself for 1.4 and I cant for the life of me get the twin 40 to show or work..I have changed all of the dates etc on the UPC and CFG and Update files but no luck..When you have a min could you help...No rush...:up:

Looking thru those files and folders I dont see a slot "33" any place..Are you adding this in?

Err excuse me? I just told you what you need to do to get started. Its not my fault that you dont understand is it. Dont tell me im not helping because i just did, i just explained what needs to be added and changed to get you going, i even explained what some of the values mean. I cant explain much more unless i go into great detail and i doubt your even be able to follow that. You sent me 2 private messages about this before, which were basicly like "GIVE ME THE ANSWER" You didnt even give me chance to explain before another PM came thru, talk about being impatient. So i explained here, and now that you decided to post You really think your going to get any help from me now?

Maybe you should just be patient and wait till i release the mod. :shifty:

It didnt show the PM's as going thru on my end!! No where in any of your post does it say to add anything!!!!!!!!!!!

FROM YOUR POST!!!!!

The upgrade packs only go to 29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....I'm just not as smart as you and cant read brains yet.......................

OMG, the "Uberen Flaggen Shippinz", gutter talk for "Uber Flak Ship"!:rock:
I want my 4 x Twin 40mm AA guns yesterday! =)
Increase the rate of fire for each gun. Say to 3500 rpm per mount and tons of ammo and bring on the Jap Naval and Army Air Forces by gawd. Just for the fun factor and giggles of course, not for anything close to realism.
Would be a nice laser light show, just dont forget to turn on your "Pink Floyd" Darkside of the Moon CD.

BTW, Im not flaming your mod. I think its great fun for times when your bored between campaigns and want to play with things.

Apology
 

Well Demon I was going to PM you an apology but decided that a public one was better...Now if you accept it or not is up to you...:lol: As most around here know I have been very sick for a long time,I know its an excuse but that and the depression attached to it some times I do dumb things..:oops: I can be my own worst enemy..:damn: So I'm apologizing for my actions...:yep:
