Torpedo tubes and the advice given.

silverdragon41 · 09-13-15, 02:44 AM

Is there a mod out there for SH4 that will help with the problem of the tubes closing when you switch tubes? Its like the game itself gives the advice to have the tubes you going to use open prior to the attack but yet when oyu try to do that it closes the other tube as you open the next one. Everytime I open tube one and go to open tube two it will say closing tube one and opening tube two. So to me its not worth doing that as for tube two firing it take the same amount of time for it to actually leave the tube regardless oif you open it manually or let it auto open from firing it it.

I have never experienced torpedo tubes closing when switching tubes. I would have to know more about your process to know what's going on.

The process is simple in my case as I would hit the q key to open the tube then hit the w key after hearing the order to open tube one. Then after the w key to switch tubes hit the q key again. It be then or right before I press the q key again that it will say closing tube one and then opening tube two.
Thou sounds it could be a rare bug. Because it annoys me and so had stop bothering opening the second tube and just hit fire as soon as I switch to it. Still opens the first tube to be use in the attack thou.

Game version number and mods?

I suspect that in your controls file, you've got Close_sel_torpedo_tube and Cycle_torp_tube double bound (in other words, both set to w).

Try this:
Press q to open torpedo tube 1. Instead of pressing w to cycle tubes, click the torpedo tube in your periscope/tbt/attack map to change to tube 2 as per the image below. Press q to open tube 2.

If that works without closing tube 1, that should confirm the problem so we can fix it.

Game version is 1.5 mods: 1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
1_TMO_25_small_patch
1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for TMO 2.5
1.5_OTC for 16 to 9 Aspect Ratio_TMO
Improved Stock Environment_v3_TMO&RFB
#2 ISE Realistic Colors
Extra_Ammo_Mod
TDW_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_v1_3_SH4
LST_TMO_v2
Webster's Real Lifeboats Fix for v1.5 Mind there is one more mod I do plan on putting in when I am going to play the campaign and that is the RSRDC mod.

But what you suggested worked. The tubes didn't closed by clicking to the next tube. Thats doable to do in the long run.

Open the file \sh4\Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg

Search for Name=Close_sel_torpedo_tube

If the line immediately below that command name looks like:
Key0=0x57,,"W"

Put a ; in front of the keyX to disable that command. For example:
;Key0=0x57,,"W"

Search for any other occurrences of 0x57. The only one that should not be disabled is Cycle_fore_torp_tube.

Ok found the area and yeah so why is it set that way anyways? Seems retard to have that line in there when its like only the q key should work it.
