Firebiro!

best to crash-dive; circle-back eels are a real problem in the kreigsmarine. Better help than I should arrive shortly if it is a program problem

If you have enabled Torpedo failure patches using TDW's Generic Patcher you'll also need to install one of the 4 add-on mods for torpedoes included in FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith. It will adjust the default failure rates set in the stock game to more 'historical' rates.

v0.0.22
- included 4 add-on mods for torpedoes. One of them is to be used if the Torpedo patches of my Generic Patcher is enabled.

Firebiro · 10-30-14, 05:17 AM

Thanks Aktungbby and Katze, Yes I had enabled the generic patcher and didn't realise there was a newer version of TDW FX update, I will try that out

Also noticed my graphics (while crisp) are looking quite cartooney, night seems to glow completely and there is a high saturation of colour on everything, the flags look radioactive ha ha.

Will try getting TDW's FX update and see if that fixes the circling torps. Or I will just remove the torp patch from generic patcher!

Welcome Aboard Firebiro

Firebiro · 10-30-14, 08:01 AM

Thanks Jimbuna,

Glad to be here and among the guys who are making this game so great!

I wonder if the order I have placed

MQK Gradient_IO
MQK LocationMaps_IO
MQK ShapeTextures_NO

is causing the strange cartooney feel, or am I missing some things from Dynamic environments I will need to add.

Will be redoing the midlist this evening to add the new TDW FX to stop my torps being crazy but if anyone has any advice on the list do let me know

I based it mostly on Fifi's medium mod list from this post, removing some things I didn't think were needed due to updated mods:

Thanks THEBERBSTER

I got that and the new FX, tested them out this evening ha ha 4 dud torpedoes in a row against an oncoming destroyer and then 3 passed straight through him, managed to sin him with a lucky shot but evedentily got sunk by another destroyer that was far too far out to try a torp run , particularly seeing as my torp speed dial mysteriously disappeared after the first dud, sigh!

THEBERBSTER · 10-30-14, 07:06 PM

Hi Firebro

This version was for FX 21

New Torpedoes Explosion - FX Update add-on

May not be compatible with FX 22

Might be causing your strange experiences.

Hi Firebiro

I would reverse these two.

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 Hotfix_2 (date)
#Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix

This one > Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 Hotfix_2 (date)

It can be used as an alternative to sobers update fix by date which is usually placed last in this group of fixes.

This is the usual layout for this group of fixes

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
#Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 (available by date) V9 by sober
EUF_UBoat_FX_v0_0_3_ byTheBeast

Hotfix 2 is new to the fix group and gives you the option to use equipment that would not normally be available for the time of year.

I notice you do not have any IRAI now in your latest list?

These have now also become essential mods

sobers OH2.5 Kiel Lite mod v4 SH5

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4511

Position after OH II

Shallow Waters Voice Be Gone

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=213972

As you use OHII without all the add ons etc, you might be interested in this.

I use number 4 as it is a complete reversal to what you would normally see.
