TM 175 Question

[Zero Niner]

Used to be, in TM174, that the ";" key would send the boat to snorkel depth (or radar depth in SH4).

Now the read me says that this has been mapped to Shift+D and sends the sub *very* deep.

I find the "radar depth" command useful, what can I do to re-enable this?

There's also a 'T' command, which is bound to "toggle snorkel". What does this do?

Thanks.

I am thinking it had to do with being able to raise lower the SD Antenna, I am sure it could be mapped back in, the Radar Depth.

There should now be an option somewhere to raise the radar mast when you are at periscope depth so you do not need to go to radar depth anymore to use the radar.

Thanks. I guess the way it was represented in TM174 wasn't quite historically correct?

The 'T' key extends/retracts the SD radar mast, I think.

Now, I've encountered another problem. I just installed TM175 + RSRDC. I followed Ducimus's instructions on re-enabling the next & previous unit camera. It's the same procedure as in 174 which I did sucessfully, but in 175 pressing the '<' or '>' key shows the ocean but no ship.

Any idea what could be wrong? I've removed the semi colon in front of the key for cmd50 & 51.

Check RSRD, maybe that mod overrode the Trigger file you edited.

ZeroNiner,
I made the changes to mine and they work (See below). There may be a few other reasons why it doesn't work.
After you select the external camera (F12) and then "Camera on next unit", it should go to your boat. The next time you press it, the camera will shift to the nearest VISIBLE target. What I've learned is that if the other ship is not within VISUAL range of your boat (i.e. your deck crew has spotted them or you can see them through the periscope) then the camera will not go to them.

RE, Why did i remap snorkel depth from radar depth to deep diving?
Allows me to keep the D key, "dive planes set to normal dive" functinality of leveling you off at your saftey depth.


RE: next previous unit camera.
Could be changes made in the ROW camera. I don't use this next/previous cam, so if there was a change to it, i wouldnt have noticed it.

It's weird. The camera shifts as it should, eg my sub was underwater so the camera jumped undewater, but the game didn't render the sub or ship. F12 works fine though.

RDP - I made a small mod containing my own commands.cfg file and that is installed last. And I don't think RSRDC changes TM's commands.cfg. I'll remove my own mod & see.
