RFB 2.0 + RSRD Sinking Mechanics

smolfri · 04-22-14, 08:15 PM

Hello, I have been playing Sh4 with RFB 2.0 for over a year and have fallen in love with the ships sinking by flooding rather then the stock hit point system. I have recently added RSRD_RFB_v575. I really like the changes to the campaign however it has reverted the sinking of the ships back to the stock hit point system. Dose any one know how to keep RSRD but have the ships sink by flooding?

If some one can please help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting question. Probably the problem are the ships added/modified by RSRDC. Waiting an answer...

I have played RFB :

RFB_2.0
RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010
RSRDC_RFB_V575
RSRDC_RFBV5xx_Patch1

I never observed fast sinkings, other than what you might expect with the occasional critical hit. More often they are maddingly slow.

Exactly what mods are you using?

Thanks for the quick reply!
As i was typing out the list of active modds i saw this one.

RFB zones file - dont use with NSM or ROW

Realizing that is a old RFB 1-4 patch i removed it and ran a quick test. What do you know, no more problems.

I have no idea how i didn't spot it when i was looking before but there it was.

I appreciate you all trying to help out. As it turns out i just need help from my own stupid self.

If I recall correctly, only the Merchant ships were re worked with the sinking mechanics. Warships are still the old system, and sink faster than they should

You could also add the small mod by TDW called "Damage by Fire" (I think that's the name of it

) where fires will add to the damage of the ship, as it should, and not just be there for eye candy. It is compatible with RFB.

If you read the RFB notes, they tell you which ships were reworked. As I recall, it was merchants and some escorts. The rest of the warships are all on the stock sinking model.

I think you are right. I looked through my mods and found a WDM for RFB mod, but it only has a file for the Agano CL.

I guess they never got around to finishing the warships.
