hull integrity

[pabbi]

How can i remove hull integrity % that tell's you the condition of your hull.
I'm using RFB and like to remove the % numer in the damages screen.

Great thanks for any help given.

Just so I'm clear you want to remove the damage meter which by the way tells you how much you have left on your life sort of thing. First, why? And secondly I have no idea, but I'd imagine something like that would be some what hard coded, but I quite possibly could be wrong.

One quick and dirty way of getting rid of it would be editing the menu_1024_768.ini file located in Data\Menu. Open it with Notepad and do a search for 0x3E0A0000 - you'll find a few entries in the G3E section (in mine it spans from G3E I24 to G3E I29, but I'm using other mods that modify menu_1024 so the Ixx numbers could be different in yours).

Before you alter anything, MAKE A BACKUP of the file! Even better, make a mini-mod which can be enabled with JSGME: in your MODS folder, create a new folder named Remove Hull Integrity (or something like that). Inside that, create a new folder named Data, and inside that one create a folder named Menu. Copypasta the menu_1024_768.ini file you want to work on (if you're not using any other mods that alter that file, you'll fetch it from MODS\RFB\Data\Menu). So, your mini-mod should look something like this: MODS\Remove Hull Integrity\Data\Menu\menu_1024_768.ini. Open that file with Notepad and locate the G3E Ixx entries which contain 0x3E0A0000. As a reference, here's what mine looks like (I'm using TMO+OTC):

This whole block needs to go, so delete the bugger. When you're done, you'll have to rearrange the numbering so you don't jump from G3E I23 to G3E I30. Start renumbering all the following sequences of G3E until you reach G3F - that's the beginning of another group.

When you're done, save the file and enable your mini-mod with JSGME. You'll get a warning that it will overwrite the menu_1024 file in RFB - proceed, that's exactly what you want. Fire up the game and let us know how it went. As I was typing this, it occured to me that you may have to make some changes in another file as well (Data\Menu\menu.txt), but it's insanely late over here and I need to catch some Zs. If the above change wasn't enough, and if someone else doesn't shed more light, I'll check back tomorrow.

You're on 1.4? Crud, that changes things a bit. 1.5 added several entries to menu_1024, G3E is not the place to look for. Nevertheless, if you search for 0x3E0A0000 you'll find the entries you'll need to delete - that's the code for all the entries related to Hull Damage.

[pabbi]

Well i have a problem 0x3E0A0000 can not be found in my menu_1024
try'd to serch for hull damages, but no luck. Entry 5308=Hull damage in the text menu can not be found in menu_1024.
It's time for bed now will have to look better at this.

Yeah, I ran into another kind of problem with this - thought I'd try out my proposed solution, myself, and been getting CTDs for my trouble. Went for a less radical approach (editing out 5308 in menu.txt), but that's not it. I'll dig around the forum to see if I can find a few other relative posts I seem to remember having stumbled upon in the past.

ETA: managed to find an old menu_1024 file from my backup of 1.4-era mods. Well you're right - there ARE no entries for Hull Damage in there! I am baffled...

[Traveller]

pabbi, in the menu.txt file try deleting line: 589=HULL INTEGRITY %s %

It should read only: 589=

That might work for v1.4

[pabbi]

I tried deleting line 589=HULL INTEGRITY %s % as you said, no go.
I tried to put " ; " in front of %s %, no go.
I have thougth about this all night, and right now i am very tired and frustrated.
Of to get some sleep now.

[pabbi]

Last night i took a look at h.sie's Colored Hull Integrity mod made for SH3. In it he give's a code ItemID=0x67000404, i think it leads to hull code's in menu_1024_768.ini, i tried to look for this code in SH4 menu_1024_768.ini and found this:

[G67 I683]
Type=1029;Static text
ItemID=0x67000404
ParentID=0x67000000
Pos=805,-168,250,30
Zone= 805 600 250 30 0 1 0x67000000 0.786133 -0.21875 0x67000404 0 0 0 0
Color=0xFF
Font=5
Text=0
TextFlags=0x0

Now my question is, am i on the right way or is this code leftovers from SH3. (I think it is).


Let me remind you my game is SH4 1.4 with

RFB v.1-4 031408 + rfb zone files and rfb torpedo fix.
RSRDC RFBv14_v390 + patch 2
OTC for RFB1.4
and few other small mods.

yoshida-kun i think real life skipper's had no way of knowing how theyr hull was with out diving the boat to find out.

Just my humble oppinion.

[DrBeast]

I've searched this forum high and low for an answer to this, but it was fruitless - seems this is not the first time you are asking for this modification btw, I found a post of yours dating back to '09. In fact, this request has been put forth a few times in the past, but there was never a valid answer. Moreover, given that things have changed from 1.4 to 1.5, I'm afraid there's no way for me to try to work out a solution. Sorry
