Are there any 3rd party fixes for the XXI?

jason210 · 07-28-05, 07:16 AM

Are there any 3rd party fixes for the XXI?I want to use this but the RADAR snorkel bug puts me off, as well as a few others.

When is the next RUb coming out?

Will there be another pofficial atch or an official add-on?

W've been trying to fix the snorkel sonar, but without success. An this is because we do not haev access to the SDK or 3dMAX plugin Ubi uses.

So, the answer is no. Unfortunately.

Gibs,

I haven't been much on the forum lately, and I have missed this fix earlier. This is much appreciated!

I was just wondering where to put this? I looked in the NSS_Uboat21.cfg-file, but I suspect this is not it?

Thanks,

Nopileo

Basic.cfg

Nopileo · 07-28-05, 05:06 PM

Sorry if I appear completely brainless here, but I've gone through the basic.cfg-file a few times, and I can't find any sections resembling the ones you posted, at least not with the same headers (they have names like 'Year2=1945').

Should I replace any of the lines with your lines, or simply add them at the end of the basic.cfg-file?

Anyway I'm off to bed. Thanks in advance, and thanks for figuring out a fix for this!

Duncan Idaho · 07-28-05, 05:53 PM

I've been using Cdr Gibs XXI fix for a few weeks now, works excellently, and makes the XXI a great boat. (Still can't mount snorkel radar, or it'll be destroyed at mission start).

Also, there's a part of the fix he forgot to include:

Go further down in Basic.cfg, you should be able to find the entry for the batteries, (note the battery number installed on the fix, it's 1269). Find the number 1269 in the batteries section, once you've found them, change the Energy number from 1.25 to 1000, or you'll have problems with batteries not lasting anywhere near what they should. So you'll have nearly infinite batteries, but that beats having to spend way too long trying to recharge them.

Have fun!

Nopileo · 07-29-05, 08:28 AM

Thanks Duncan Idaho.

Any idea where the other entries by Cdr Gibs are to be entered? Or should it just be copied and pasted anywhere into basic.cfg?

Thanks,

Nopileo

thecaptain · 07-29-05, 09:17 AM

Cdr Gibs, does the FuMo 391 radar work correctly now with your fix, or does it just get rid of the radar destroyed message? Like you, I'm not into this 100 percent realism, but more middle of the road. Playing at 67 percent and having a blast!

Well, you can't just paste them anywhere, those lines already exist, the ones he posted are altered. You need to search the file and find the lines, and replace them with the ones you got here.

rulle34 · 07-29-05, 09:53 AM

Gibs, Taste is different. I like the effort of all persons who is trying to do this game even better and you're for sure one of them, so don't quit on us.

Cheer up

Nopileo. Gibs just gave us the lines that was changed, It'll be much less text then. If you like this is the full text in Basic.cfg:

If you use notepad and open Edit/Find, then you can type XXI and when you come to this sektion above you are right. These are with Gibs mod so you can copy mine if you like. (not the batteryfix though)

Good luck

Nopileo · 07-29-05, 10:09 AM

I did a more thorough search in the basic.cfg-file, and found the sections. They were 'hidden' inside other lines.

I'm including my entire XXI-section here now after adding Gibs' fix. It is a bit long, but I hope it's ok. It may make it easier for other people as clumsy as me:

[edit:] Rulle beat me to it, so I deleted my entry. Thanks Rulle!

And thanks again Gibs. This is much appreciated. I'm set for the weekend...

Regards,

Nopileo

In this thread Cdr Gibs posted his fix, not sure if was the first place:

http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopi...35b74ecfee7f5a

However, if you take the time and read through the entire thread (6 pgs at the time of this post) you'll find some interesting finds on the XXI. Most of which are brougt to our attention by Jungmann. Jungmann, by the way create a 3 mod pak that addresses a number of issues including the snorkel...apparently the snorkel was being see by the AI as if your XXI is surfaced. Again, that credit goes to Jungmann I'm just passing it along. Also, the mod pak corrects the "death grip" of DD's later in the war to a more realistic standard.

Anyhow, this is the link to Jungmann's fix:

http://rapidshare.de/files/3448595/SensorPak.zip.html

Please note that I installed his mod pak and I literally sailed from Norway to New York without being hounded by aircraft, so far so good...now only if the battery recharge were fixed.

It's my understanding fixes attributed to you will be included in RuB1.43 when it's released.

Thanks for your efforts!
