Using this idea how about making multiple copies of the AI_Sensors.dat and each one has a different height setting, maybe 5 copies total. Then using SH3 Commander and the Random folder structure insert them in there.
I have 10 random folders right now. if I insert these 5 seperate AI_Sensors.dat files that means that I have 50 percent chance of getting some form of thermal layer and 50% chance of sock settings.
This can be set up by date also in Commander.
Let me have your thoughts on this if you think it's worthwhile.

Cheers!

Good.....

That sounds good, is just another way, but the bad point of this trick is the sensor become "completelly" deaf under that setting, and a thermal layer dont deflects all the sound, instead a big percent of this only.

Another way is to make it only in one sensor, may be active or may be pasive..... :hmm:

I never used SH3 Commander, really i have not idea about how its works or what posibilities it have ........ :hmm:

I would very much like to try them out.

Thanks,

I am using it with NYGM Ship Damage...... any way i made my changes, but i think so there is no uncompatibility.

I dont know IUB Mod, i dont use it, i dont like masive mods, may be it is so good, but i dont use any masive mod, i like to make small changes one by one.

But it think so IUB changes similar files....... just back up yours and try.... if dont like it, just roll back.

Any way, if there is any uncompatibility, the only you will change is the detection behaviour and survival probaility..... the others IUB changes will still there.
