Bad weather jackets missing in storm

fitzcarraldo · 11-08-10, 08:49 PM

Hi, mates. I have a recurrent question in SH4: the bad weather jackets missing in storms. I use Sh4 1.5 + TMO2 + RSRDC (plus TMO Beta Update plus RSRDC Patch).

When save a patrol in course, with bad weather, I have the lookouts with his jackets. When return to game, loading the mission/patrol, the jackets missed, and the poor guys are with shirts in that storm!

I make diverse tests: change the lookouts of position, change the lookouts with crew of machine rooms, control room, and so on...Ever change the lookout, but without the jacket.

I think the TMO Beta Update corrects the issue, but nothing...Is the same ethernal bug.

Is there some actualization for the correction of this problem, some tip?

Many thanks and regards.

Did you try diving and surfacing again? SH3 also removes the wet-weather gear when reloading during a storm, and that has always worked for me in both games.

Foul weather gear not appearing is a code level bug with SH4 (and, not surprisingly, SH5 as well).

When a crewman put on their bad weather gear is.. or rather was... dictated by the stormconditions variable in the submarines CFG file. (data/submarines/NSS_whatever/NSS_whatever.cfg).

Adjust it to whatever wind speed you want, it doesn't appear to work.

RAIN does work. Wind, doesn't seem to. So crewman only put on their bad weather gear in the rain, not heavy seas.

Many thanks, Ducimus. Now navigating to Pearl from patrol in Phillipines, with heavy seas, wind and rain ( I see a moderate rain...). Crew without the jackets...It seems with rain not working, too, or bads reports. Or only with rain, without wind? (if that condition is possible...).

Please, observe the weather report: Precipitation none??? Yes, from the report, only winds and crew without jackets, but I have rain!

Seems not only the bug on jackets, the reports are "realistics" (when rain, tell "precipitation none", glup!).
Regards.

Yeah ive seen that. I believe its related to time compression issues. Something goes out of sync there.

Ok, thanks. I´m using high compression in the return journey to Pearl.

Is there some mod for have the crew ever with caps/hats?

Best regards.

It's one big PITA. Never tried diving and resurfacing as Steve suggests

In SH3, all I would do is drag the guys inside, then back out again. That would fix it. This dosn't work in SH4. As the screenies show, the weather report shows "no precip". That's the problem. The game thinks, the rain has stopped, so the guys don't need the raingear. The other thing that always irked me, as someone mentioned, is the fact that unlike SH3, the sailors in SH4 will not don the foul weather gear unless it is a full blown rain event. The heaviest of seas don't matter. I guess they like getting wet. I always wondered if this was an oversight of the Devs, or dose it have to do with the obvious design differences between Fleetboats and German U boats. Could it be the bridges of Fleetboats stayed more dry than those of the U boats?
