No Dive dpth or crash dive depth.

[Dogfish40]

Gotta big problem here. When I dive, I'm supposed to level off at 40 meters. I don't.
When I crash dive it's supposed to do the same at 120 or so, it doesn't.
I know this is because of a mod. I'm not sure when the problem started but I'm going to put in a screeny of my currant mod list;


Now, can anyone see any one of these that might have cancelled those depth parameters?! I checked the sub config files (at least I think they were the correct ones) and they all say 40 meters for the Dive, and 120Metrs for the Crash dive. Yet, If I order a crash dive, my crew takes it to heart same with Dive, they want to check Davey Jones Locker.
I might have noticed it after the DBSM but why would that mod cancel those parameters?!
I'll check the UI mod again 'cause there's only about 15,000,000,000 settings on that mod, (I mean that in a good way LOLTDW) but I do not recall there being a chage I can make for Dive depth's.
Anyway, maybe one of you fine Kaleuns can spot a problem with the soup or have run into this yourself. I don't think this is the first time this could have happened.
Danke.
Good Hunting

What boat you have and what text you have in this boat cfg after [Properties] line?

..\Silent Hunter 5\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7a\NSS_Uboat7a.cfg
..\Silent Hunter 5\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b\NSS_Uboat7b.cfg
..\Silent Hunter 5\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7c\NSS_Uboat7c.cfg

Hi Michael,
I sorry mate, I'm not following your meaning here. If you are asking what each file says, all three list 40,100 for dive depth and all three list 152,71 for crash dive depth. Thats all I can get from the submarine folder in SH5/Data.
Is that what you meant?

Hey D40 .. I dont allow my boat to level off at a determined depth .. I Know that Its more realistic when Iam commanding My boat .. If you look at stoniams tuturials . he is in a middle of a depth charge attcak at one piont he had to comand , Blow ballast .. Because the boat was diving to deep .. So I know that these mods are making thoise changes .. I know that if you use the SD3 editor , Yoy can change the pre-determined safe dive depth when diving and crash diving , My last escaped of a depth charge attack rendered my boat to get about 20% damage .. I was Obs to manuver around 5 destroyers while rying to escape the middle of a convoy , in which I sank three merchants .. I think the way things are set-up .. you have to manage that aspect of not diving to deep . Its the imersion factor and your competencyeof being kaulean !

There should be something like that:

PeriscopeDepth=12;
SnorkelDepth=14.0;meters
CrashDepth=152;meters
MaxDepth=220;meters
DiveDepth=40;meters
SurfaceDepth=4.5;meters
TorpLaunchMaxDepth=20;meters

It will set "Dive" command depth to 40 and "Crash Dive" to 152.

If you have this settings for your type of boat, and still diving at other depths, dunno then...

P.S. Any symbols, numbers and words after ';' ignored in this files.

Yes, It was changed. I adjusted them and will see if it works. I know what the change was and why.
I might even change them back as I feel that kimuraijn has a point. I do usually give a specific depth anytime we dive anyway. If you have to crash dive in a shallow area though, I would like to have a smaller dive depth just to make sure we didn't hit the bottom before I could level out.
We'll see if I've got it fixed.
Thanks
