repost... but please help

[GoldenRivet]

well i searched the forum and the manual to no luck... mostly because i was unsure of the key words to search for.

But here is the situation:

GWX2.1 has been running great from date of release.

finished a 12 patrol career with no trouble through SH3 commander.

Started a new career to continue with a new kaleun where the old one left off.

now the u-boat interior is missing... **sometimes** but not all the time. one minute it is there, the next minute the entire command room and radio sonar room/ captains bunk is missing textures and crewmen with only a visible radar screen in the lower left hand side.

i KNOW this is a repost and i have been looking for the solution.

i think the problem has something to do with the fact that my last boat did not have radar, but now, this boat comes with radar and i think radar is causing a problem somehow.

i have not installed any new mods

currently using:
GWX2.1
Sh3 Commander
GWX no medals on crew
GWX open hatch
GWX das boot movie
OLCE2
OLCE2 special
Lifeboats and debris

did not notice this problem until the boat was equipped with radar. question is whats the fix?

HA!

thats the exact page i was searching for.

interesting though... i never noticed this behavior when using Shift page Up before... ill have to go experiment.

[GoldenRivet]

well that was the culprit... so i guess im stuck with that little marbe in the sky for a sun?

[Bosje]

weird, huh

[GoldenRivet]

more annoying i guess than wierd. i wonder how so many times i was using Shift+ Page up and this never happened.

i guess it has to do with radar somehow?

i just finished an entire career spanning 2 years in the game up ti mid 1943 and never equipped my boat with radar until now... im thinking that is the culprit somehow

[Bosje]

yeah same here, the moment i get radar it gets screwed up, i think it has something to do with the moving thingy in view

[GoldenRivet]

it has been my concept NOT to get radar... im my opinion it offers a U-boat practically NO tactical advantages which could justify the upgrade.

however, when i start a late war career, i have no choice because the boat comes WITH radar.

im sure this is more realistic than not... however, if it were my boat, radar would see little use in the terms of SH3

does anyone know of a CFG file i can edit which will remove radar from the boat?

Basic.cfg Look up the type of sub you are using and war year. Then look for the radar entry and check that it says -1. The -1 means that that item is not installed. If it has a number other than -1, it has the item that number represents installed.

Example Type VIIB
Year3=1942
ForeTube30=3
ForeTube31=2
ForeTube32=2
ForeTube33=3
ForeResIntern30=3
ForeResIntern31=2
ForeResIntern32=0
ForeResIntern33=0
ForeResExtern30=0
ForeResExtra30=2
ForeResExtra31=2
AftTubes30=2
AftResIntern30=2
AftResExtern30=0
Z01_30=4 ; VIIB/2
M01_30=1
A01_30=6
A02_30=6
SuperCharger_30=1260; GWX V2.1: was -1, so this boat now has GW turbos by default
Snorkel_30=-1
Batteries_30=1265
AftBatteries_30=1265
Hydrophone_30=1270
Sonar_30=-1
Radar_30=-1
RadarWarningReceiver_30=-1
Decoy_Launcher_30=-1
SonarCoatings_30=-1
RadarCoatings_30=-1
Renown3=2500

ForeTube40=3 ;T3
ForeTube41=3

ForeResIntern40=0

This is also where you can specify what kind of torpedoes you start each patrol out with.
