Crew Quarters Mod for TMO 1.7.0

All credit should go to Observer as he the original creator of this excellent idea. LukeFF for his crew mod and Kriller for the sexy background texture.

This mod helps to deal with a "bug" found in SH4 where external crew members (guns and deck watch) receive injuries even while they are inactive. The game treats the crew as inactive but the crew is still physically located in their respective spot outside. So, if you are submerged and a depth charge goes off near the conning tower your watch crew will get damaged as if they were still outside. Same case with the deck and AA guns.

Some points about the mod:

- All subs now have an extra compartment named "Crew Quarters".

- The Crew Quarters compartment adds an additional 12 empty slots. Think of it as a combination of the various crew quarters throughout the sub. When preparing for depth charge attack, all 12 of the watch crew can be placed here.

- The new compartment does not receive damage. This is the same case with the version used in RFB. I don't have the time to look into this. One doesn't have to be concerned though if this is a "cheat". I thoroughly tested this...when you are done, you're done. Each time I was critically damaged, twelve men did not prevent the sub from being lost in all my tests. However, as a counter - the damage control team can now receive injuries as would be expected (this was originally off in TMO).

- Since this compartment functions as an off duty section of the boat, it has no skill modifiers.

- Crew quarters also serves as a good spot to place injured crew until they are healed.

- Use your deck and AA gun crewmen to also serve as your damage control team. This way you can place them in the damage control team slots when preparing for depth charge attack.

UPDATED: 4/15/2009 - Mod upgraded to TMO 1.7.0
v1.1a - Corrected problem with missing deckgun slots.

keltos

Excellent. Thanks much.

:oops: You got me LukeFF! I need to lay off that pipe. :|\\

I should have stated that the compartment has no skill modifiers. I don't know how I missed that since most of the info was straight from the RFB readme. Will update the post and readme file shortly.

Thanks to all involved. :up:

enabled this thru jsgme but the quarters aren't there. running TMO163 w/hud and SI Hud Kit sub-mod

I had to start a new campaign before the mod worked for me, Capt. have you tried that?

crew quarters in port
 

That was my experience ... however before returning to port when I went back and looked at the mod in "sub school ... artillery" I verified that it was installed properly. Later when I was in port the crew quarters appeared.

Nice work :yep::up:

What would happen if a plane drop a bomb right on the top of the sub?

Do all in those assigned to the quarters die like all that are assign to the gun deck/machine gun but are "inside" the sub?

Thanks

RE: The mod - As with all of these types of changes you have to be in port to enable it. Sorry I didn't mention it. Thought it was already assumed.

No. Thats why its there. :)
