Circular Torpedo

Interpol · 11-25-09, 03:31 PM

Im making a SH IV film and need to force faultiness on a torpedo for it to do the very unwanted Circulary Torpedo nightmare.

I have a pretty good idea what the answer is going to be but i ask anyways...

mod the torpedo file to have 100% chance of circle runner

it probably wont be 100% in game because the game randomises stuff sometimes but i think you'll see 3 or 4 out of 5 do it

Well you can call me thick...

Ive only just had some time to look for the file to adjust the Random Values for Faulty Torpedoes and can only find 1 file for German Ammunition in the game and the Torpedoes section dosent have any Values for Dud, Circular Running, Early Detonation ect

Ive only found 1 file close to that and that is for the Torpedo Tubes to Jam & Chamber Explosion.

If you want to look for yourself this is the file path i have took.

C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/SH4/Data/UPCDataGE/UPCUnitsData/Ammunition

The one for the Tubes to Jam/Chamber Explosion is the other one called Weapons.

Both opened with Notepad. Any feedback will be great.

Dont know if i have missed a file but ive been pretty rigorous in my search.

Cheers

You'll need S3D to open it and edit it. Make sure you edit the right fish (mark 14 most likely).

Well ive had a look and the torps still want to run straight.

Im modifying the TII German Torpedo as im using a U-boat for what im doing and out of 10 torps........ All 10 went straight after i modified the folder for Circular Runner Chance of 100.0 lol.

TII is the Torpedo that has the most problems according to the Info on it & ive also tried the TIII with the same results.

Im not sure for it to work you have to set it up to hit a target cos ive been just firing them off at nothing while submerged and they just swim straight.

im pretty sure you DO have to set them to a target or they will always go straight

the circle runner was an error in the stearing system and if its not stearing the error may not apply

i have torpedo test missions you can use for targetting practice on stationary ships so you can test the torpedos

Webster, have you released your test missions? I did, just as a weird brain fart and they've turned out to be one of the most popular things I've done.

Dirty nasty secret: behind every modder you will see a plethora of carefully crafted test missions that can be A LOT of fun to do.
