A mysterious bug while modding

[ArnoldR]

Hello everyone,

I recently discovered the Schnellboat mod, version 2. I enjoy it a lot. The modder (Mikhayl) did a very good job. Nevertheless, I discovered a strange thing. I didn't understand why, for such a small boat, my FPS rate was so low, until I discovered that the original model of the type IXC submarine was still there, inside the S-100 hull, scaled at a much smaller size. So, I decided to delete this useless part in order to increase the FPS level. But, when I tried to launch a mission (that I already played just before I delete the submarine model), the game crashed.

Does anyone understand anything to this ? It seems really mysterious to me...

hahaha! that was funny.

Im not laughing at anybody or on the author of that mod.
But it's just so funny how he made that to work in the game as you described it. It's beyond obvious why he did that.

Would you dare to share your knowledge on this ?

I also exported the 3D model, and then re-imported it in S3D without modification from me, and the game crashed as well...

If anyone is wishing to help me, I may send him the files. Just let me know...

The type IX is probably needed somehow to emulate the torpedo boat?

[FUBAR295]

It is apparent that the underlying IX is needed for all the functions of the e-boat, which is a skin placed on top of the IX. By removing the IX you essentially broke the mod, lost all control of any functions needed to make it work. The IX was most likely a quick expedient to get a schnelboat up and working as opposed to creation of a new ship model.

There may be ways to improve the frame rate, if it can be done, by moddding the underlying IX for improvement. Not sure of your modding skills.

Good luck.
