my wish list

[woody4077]

ok i'm a newbie so plz be gentle :P

after playing SH4 for awhile i have a few "wishes"

first and foremost either a removal of the officer limit or as was suggested by another poster transfers.

second this is something i remember from a previous SH game
which is unlimited torpedos..would make convoy attacks more "fun"

also from a previous SH game basically a "god" mode

and my final "wish" ability to have stern and bow mounted deck guns with unlimited ammo

I think they have done that or real close to it:

Take a look at the Silent Fire Mod in the above link.

You can have bow and stern very easy for subs set up like this in the subs.upc file
[UserPlayerUnit 1.UpgradePackSlot 3]
ID= UpgDeckGun
NameDisplayable= Deck Gun
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=USDeckGunBasic
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkUpgradePackSlots= BowDeckGun, SternDeckGun
IDLinkUpgradePackSlotsIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1943-09-01, Upack3in50calDGStern
IDLinkUpgradePackSlotsIntervalDefault2= 1943-09-02, NULL, Upack3in50calDGBow

The default# is set up as "Startdate,Enddate,link to ID in upgradepacks"

If you look in Upgradepacks.upc you will see this:

[UpgradePack 25]
ID= Upack5in25calDGDouble......the ID the upgrade links to
NameDisplayable= 5" 25 cal Deck Guns (Bow and Stern)
FunctionalType= UpFTypeWeaponCannon
UpgradePackSlotType= USDeckGunAdv .....make sure it will accept this type
Type=NULL
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1= 1945-01-01, NULL, 2000
IDLinkUpgradePackElements= 5in25calUS, 5in25calUS

Options1 is set up for "Startdate,Enddate,cost"
Elements is set to "bowdeckgun,sterndeckgun"

So if it says "NULL, 4in50calUS" it is a sterndeckgun.
If it is a bowdeckgun it would say "4in50calUS, NULL"
If you want both you can change it to "4in50calUS,4in50calUS"

Or the best way is to add a new entry with a new ID to link to, like the Upack5in25calDGDouble. For example Upack4in50calDGDouble and use that ID in the submarine.upc file.

You could even have different guns on the front and back of the sub.

As for the dates, there is a date in Upgradepacks.upc for the upgrade but in Weapons.upc there is are dates the weapon is available. So the double deckgun and the individual deckgun are not necessarily available at the same time. Of course if you set up your own, then it is up to you.

No, disrespect ment here, but by taking out all the close to real llife limits, I think you are taking away the "fun". The fun of a sim of any nature is to emmorse yourself into the cyber world it offers. Those limits make you think of the tactical and startigical situation you are in. Makes you remember to not only attack but to defend your boat by using appropiate approuch tactics. etc etc etc
