Unfixeable engine damage...

08-03-06, 11:19 AM

Grr... starting patrol, got a shiny new Type IXC, wait for the mission loading... "Starboard diesel engine destroyed". Harumph. Well, nothing for it; just have to make do, I guess.

But it's the same on the next two missions, as well. The game simply starts with the diesel destroyed.

I guess I could tweak the config file to allow for a bit of extra speed to compensate, but I'd really rather not. Any ideas what's doing this?

I'm running no mods, only SH3Commander.

Lo Mate!

This is a well known Stockgame Bug. It seems that he comes and goes!
Your Diesel will still work normally!:hmm:

Hmm sure its not the sabotage part of SH3 commander doing it?

Try changing

IXC=NSS_Uboat9c|x2C43|275
IXC/40=NSS_Uboat9c|x2C43|275

in "Miscellaneous.cfg" to:

IXC=NSS_Uboat9c|x3007|275
IXC/40=NSS_Uboat9c|x3007|275

The sabotage as I understand it is supposed to be rather subtle. I mean losing an entire diesel engine 3 straight patrols is kinda unlikely.

Guys this is definately not Sabotage/Malfunctions related. When one of the engine files is chosen all it does is reduce the performance(sometimes a little and sometimes a lot), it never destroys or disables an engine entirely-
diesel or E motor makes no difference. The whole idea was to make it rather subtle, at least a majority of the time anyway.

Cheers!

No problem - was a fix posted by JSCones a while ago
Nothing worse than damage at start up - I used to get stuck in the sub pens in a IXD2
Either got out with about 25% damage of just didnt get out at all :rotfl: so I know how annoying it can be

Bernard's going to be the one removing it... with tweezers.
