Can Anyone Help With Some Minor Issues?

goose814 · 06-25-12, 09:49 PM

I have just gotten back into playing SH4 and am using TMO 2.5 which I haven't tried before, and I'm wondering about a couple of things.

First, during normal stations there is a crewman located in the aft starboard corner of the control room. At battle stations, he disappears and another crewman appears at the trim manifold. I would like to switch their positions and was wondering where/what file is used for these crew members positions.

Second, I noticed that the JP hydrophone on deck doesn't rotate. Is there a change that can be made so that it does rotate? If it isn't possible, can it be altered so that at least it faces forward & aft and not port & starboard?

Thanks for any help.

About that crewman: he is taken from crew berthing compartment, as far as I know, but I don't know how to move him, or not move him under battle stations. If I were you, I wouldnt touch it at all, to avoid any bugs. But maybe someone else know a safe way to mod it?
The JP hydrophone is rotating on my boats. Most of the time. I did notice it not rotating on Balao on one patrol, but it was a bug, my whole hydrophone station was broken, no animations were playing on it, and even restarting the game didnt help, I had to finish the patrol early due to that, but the next, everything was back to normal.

Through some trial and error with the file NSSGato.upc I was able to get the crewmen situated like I wanted.

As for the hydrophone rotation, I do know that with a clean version of SH4 v1.5 it does rotates, but after TMO 2.5 is installed it just remains stationary, pointing port & starboard. Anyone have any ideas as to what controls this? Thanks.

N o point in having it rotate while surfaced. But I think it rotates when you're submerged.

I agree it should only rotate submerged, but it doesn't rotate at all, whether surfaced or submerged. The clean version rotates both surfaced and submerged.

Ducimus may have disabled it in the mod, since you don't really see it, or pay much attention to it, as I spend more time looking for potential targets.

Yeah, I know, it's just eye candy. But it just looks weird from the bridge pointing crossways. I wish at least that it pointed fore & aft.
