You can activate and deactivate it at any time and also don´t must be in the bunker. Please keep in mind it is only a test, but I think, that you know it.

The first issue I have found now - maybe I must embed the textures again. Too much changes for one test.
But it would not be a problem.

EDIT: OK, I see Magic was faster!

Thanks, Uekel an Magic, I'll try it

I made few quick tests (convoy of imported ships heading towards from 100km or so) and no frozen flags. Seems pretty good this far .

Okay, must go now. If this works, I really need to know what you did with the flags

Great work Uekel

Hey thanks, Rongel.

Of course, but how you say, we wait if it works.

Time for the first correction, german textures was tga not dds. Now fixed: http://www.mediafire.com/?l0o4kn98sc6iqo1

Hi guys,
Having been away a while, I loaded the newest mod versions (UI 6.8.0, OH II v1.4 full + patch) and started a new Western Approaches campaign out of St. Nazaire. Like earlier, there are still a lot of half-flooded merchants around in the port area, some with frozen flags. I guess they are those 'imported' ships.

Should this deck-awash issue be avoidable with the current full OH II version (installed at end of mod soup), or could other preceding mod soup elements be the cause?

With the basic OH II version without 'New Ships' this issue naturally doesn't exist.

I'd like to use the 'New Ships', but not half sunk. What is the current situation?

Uekel, that's very good! Just activated this fixed version in my a.m. mentioned campaign start out of St.Nazaire, and the previously frozen flags (French merchants) are now unfrozen, like all others.

Sadly, many of those imported ships are still half sunk, but then again, that surely has nothing to do with flag.dat.

Anyway, you seem to have solved this flag bug. Congrats & thanks!

[uekel]

Hi Uffe,

many thanks!!!

But please note, maybe from a savegame where the ships already close, is something else.

Hmm... there not my ships, but Rongel can do it:



and another for Rongel: I´ve done this with the flags



now I have it for all Nations:

remains to hope that it works!

Hi uffe, yes I can look into it, I was planning a new ship update anyway (all the ships use low-res textures, argh!, must... fix...) The zombie ships seem to have different draughts every time, sometimes they are half sunk, sometimes okay. But can you please post a screenshot for claritys sake and I'll try to correct them.

Okay, nice to know, thanks!

I'm not sure but when I was testing something, one time I got frozen flags in museum. I noticed that now every nations flag was still. I was messing with the ships so I can't be sure if it was me or the flags. Needs more tests, but still this looks very good improvement, because the freezing was much more common before. Earlier the flag used to freeze just for one new ship, now I have ten in convoy and everything works all the time (except this one time in museum).

Sounds not good, now we know that is not the solution.
Maybe there are to much frames for the mesh (100) compare to 25 in SHIII?
But on the other side we can statisfied if it´s an improvement.

Improvement is a good thing too! And I think it's too early to say anything, yet, what kind of results others have gotten?

Hi Uffe, its good to see you back

@Uekel

I have been attacking a lot of convoys with your flag fix4 installed.
So far every one is working
Still testing...

Really good to hear!

I had frozen flags in two cases, but when I consider that almost all ships there I see in this time, were imported, I can live with it.

Currently, I test a different version with 25 frames instead of 100, maybe that's the solution.....

EDIT:

Forget the two "frozen flags". By mistake I've never really tested a new version. An old version I had renamed (but not the extension as I otherwise do) and leave in the library. The program had access to it and use probably this flags. OK, my own stupidity , but on the other side, good news! It seems to work!!!!

Just want to say Thank You for this great mod!
