New random Campaign for SH2 available
 

OK, only 5 people said they would like to have it :roll: , but anyway, here you go, for anyone interested. I tried to contact Rossbach to tell him I was using part of his code, but the mail was bounced back :-?

It's only 0.5 MB big, so easy download even for 56k. Have fun and feedback here. :up:

From the README:


EDITED: The readme states wrongly that Redwine DCs mod is included. It is NOT include, but is highly recommended :arrgh!:

Thanks.

Thank you Hitman. :up:
Cannot run it right now. But I've got you campaign and will sail off as soon as current weather cleared.

Thanks a lot :D

Vielen herzlichen Dank! :sunny: :up: :sunny:

Having fun with this HM, but its showing up my inexperience as a campaign player.......

First patrol out out of Trondheim , minor bump getting out of the harbour (I need to eat more carrots .. the Arctic is very dark )

Reach patrol zone ... no targets .

Set course to return to base .

Dive to avoid an enemy aircraft .

All clear. Order boat to "surface" . Conning tower emerges above water then sub mysteriously and involuntarally goes back to periscope depth. :cry:

All attemps at surfacing ( including blowballast ) fail.

Batteries run out ... sub comes to a halt at periscope depth.

CO2 levels rise . Crew asphyxiated . :(

Don't think I'll be getting a medal .

Hi sailor :) seems you finally got hooked with pig boats :P

Yes, exiting Trondheim requires a bit of practice: Set time compression to 4x (Eliminates waves) and speed to halbe fahrt voraus. As soon as the Boot is out of the pen, turn left with full rudder until you point to the exit of the harbour (There are two peaks of mountains visible right on the exit...point the bow there). Once out of the harbour turn starbord (right) and plot your course out of the fjord in the map. BTW would love to see again that screenshot you did with hi-res textures for the fjords :up:

BDU will ask you to return after four weeks in patrol (It's also random, but should be in around 4 weeks), but it might happen that you don't locate any convoy in the meantime. Do you stay that long in the patrol area?

Don't think this has much to do with the campaign :hmm:

4 weeks !! ….. My God no wonder so many of them lost their minds . :o No I just meandered around for a few days
No I didn’t think the campaign was the problem . I wondered if some of the more experienced Uboat capts ( which in my case means everybody else ) had ever come across this . Surely this wasn’t due to my little bump ? I’d dived and surfaced a few times successfully before it went into refusal .

I'll see if I've still got it

Downloaded and thank you for releasing this Arctic Campaign.

Hitman,

Thanks. Only 5 of us responded to your post, but 18 down loaded before me. A silent majority.

Good Hunting,
FUBAR

Thank You Hitman :-)
long live sh2, pac, d.c.

Could someone send me this? Send to billds9{at}yahoo.com

I would like to have this on file if I get the urge to play some SHII again...

BTW the link gives a broken DL, which is why I ask.

Well, well, well... Hitman, you have finished the enhanced campaign project we started on spring 2004. :D In the face of the release of SH3 I lost the interest already long time ago, but your persistence is impressive. Thats :up: :up: :up:

Hitman, I have took some freedom. First I have published your version on website http://web.starman.ee/rossbach as Hitman's edition of Arctic Kampaign 1944 so everyone, who are interested can download the campaign from there without any hazzle.

And changed the package file over to zip file. I hope you don't mind :roll:

For informatin for those still playing SH2 - it's a "must", especially after Hitman's major rework, surpassing even the SH3 in some sense with its focus and atmosphere that you are part of something.

Well Done, Hitman!

Rossbach

Yep, I must endorse that. SH2 does not deserve to be a dead game. I love the recent SH3 for many features but SH2 has its own atmosphere, and many aspects of the game have never been fully exploited . This Arctic Campaign is one example. :up:

Hey, great to see you here again Rossbach! :D :D

Yup I finally managed to do a version of my own of your brilliant tool...its simplicity and efectiveness is even today, 3 years after the creation, outstanding :up: and even an idiot like me, with zero knowledge of scripting in VB has been able to understand how it works and rework it :huh:

I would love to add many things more, but I don't know if I will have the time for it.... :doh:

Thanks for your support!
