Automatic reloading off by default?
 
Hi Kaleuns,

I tried finding the answer to this with the search function, but I couldn't find a similar question.

Is there a way to have auto-reloading off by default? Currently I have to set it before each mission load-up. Now, it isn't a terrible thing, but I'm afraid to forget one day and have a torpedo load that I didn't want to.

This isn't a major issue with the Type II with just 5 torpedoes of a single variety, but later in the war, I want to have control over whether or not my valuable homing torpedoes are loaded, especially since you can't pull a torpedo out once it's in the tube.

I imagine there could be a setting in one of the configuration files, so if there is, I'd be all to happy to hear about it! :arrgh!:

Well in actual fact, you CAN actually unload a tube, although this is when you get to the bigger boats(eg VIIB, IXB). Once you've fired off a torpedoe or two, then you have the internal storage space to click & drag a torpedo from a tube to the storage space.

Like you usually do, just ensure you have "auto loading" disengaged.

I tried to unload the torp from tube, but once they do, crew will load it back into tube:rotfl2:

At the torpedo loading screen - in patrol - at the up left corner of the screen is the auto load switch.
Untick it and you will be able to put any torpedo in any tube you like.

Ah, I didn't realize the unloading was possible. However, it does take time anyway.

It would just be the most convenient option if loading were always manual. :shucks:

As far as I'm aware you can't default the action permanently....you can only set it to 'off' after each bootup of the game.

Can't you edit a .cfg file or something?

Not that I'm aware of, though I must admit, it would be a most welcome development. :DL

Haven't looked around the files in a while but it may well be hard coded.

Possibly but I'd have thought if it were doable it would have been modded by now...still, you never know :hmmm:

It is a hardcoded setting.
That I know for sure.
What I did to check was change the menu ID in the menu ini file, then change it in the SH3 exe file.
You could no longer disable the setting then!
:haha:

The Guys doing the debugging stuff would be in a better position to find the value and change it then me.

I'm not sure. I just finished a long patrol, and I don't recall resetting it every session. Maybe you have to reset it after each patrol. Anyway, I'll try to remember to keep an eye on it to make sure.

Yeah, like that's gonna happen. :88)

Suspected as much. Still, it'd be a great little mod to have. :yep:
