Rik007: SH-3 Night surface attack project [REL]
Quote:
I feel I'm not 20 anymore. So I'm a slow modder and for years SH-3 didnot have my attention anymore but everything came back a year ago when I upgraded my video card...
On an average I now worked a few hours per week on this project which delivers an enabler. Basically it could be a breakthrough or a failure: who knows?
For me it is a breakthrough and I hope it will be the same for you all. I create some movies this week to explain it and some demo's.
First I explain the project itself and my experiments into night surface attacks and what I think of it:
Then an example of a night surface attack in 'Otto Kretschmer-style', unprecedented I think:
Then a sample of the wheather transition bug which is in most environment mods. The wheather will suddenly switch around 00:26:
And the version with a correct - smooth wheather transition:
Then a demo with Northern Lights and detection:
I want to thank:
- Hsie for his exellent hardcode mod. If you read this: a few of your discoveries in your assembly files I re-used!
- hughesjr for his basic voice attack profile (unreachable on Steam)
- Jerry Mason and crew

Update 29-8-2024: Release 1.20 has arrived
This is what has changed compared to 1.19:
- Date/time bug:
There are multiple date/time variable in sh3. One of them controls the moon and the environment and one is the current date/time you see on the watches etc. The first one is not correct after a save/reload. After a reload this date is set to the start date/time of the current patrol or in case of a first patrol in a campaign this will be start date/time of the campaign. What is expected is that after a safe/reload sh3 should set this date/time to the current date/time.
The effect of this bug is that every time you reload a patrol your environment including the moon phase/position will jump back to the start of the patrol instead of to the current date/time.
The fix implemented in the moon mod for this is to overwrite the date/time for the environment with the current game date/time to make sure the calculations are done with the correct date and the moon and environment are shown as expected.

Of course I like to thank Fubar295, Dieselglock, JohnCarterOfMars, Doolar & Fitzcarraldo for their help during the testing!

For details of the latter: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...&postcount=116
How to add the patch for Windows 11 KB5044030 or KB5044033 on top of v1.20?

- this mod should be enabled on top of (after) the v1.20 "SH-5 Moon mod"
- if you use Stiebler's wheather fix you should enable "SH-5 Moon mod optional - Stiebler's wheather fix with improved environment date for v1.20" after "SH-5 Fix for Windows 11 KB504403X and improved environment date for v1.20".
