[WIP] Los Angeles 688i mod 4th fix

[treblesum81]

Does it take a lot to insert one of these into the campaign? I admit I have no idea how SH4 does it, but I remember that for SH3 all you had to do was insert a few entries into the flotillas.cfg file to get a sub to be part od the campaign. Is the SH4 process more complicated and in what ways if it is? I'm also curious, based on your comments, and those by Sledgehammer, if this sub is already out of the box compatible with RFB, and does this also apply to the Ohio and Skipjack models out there?

Inserting a new boat into the campaign is easy. As you said in SH3, it was as simple as adding it into the flotilla.upc. Same concept with SH4 except you have to edit the careerstart.upc as well. Now to make it compatible with other mods requires a deeper look into the files, namely any that this mod would overwrite, and mergeing the two together. And in regards to your question about Skipjack and Ohio, the answer would be yes I believe so as the flotillia and careerstart files are in the RFB format.

I'll have to look into that then, as I've been thinking about trying to make all three into one "nuke" mod, and then maybe later on adding the other advanced subs out there by Dagon, whether its just for me or for everyone, I would like to be able to choose between the lot of them without having to exit the game, re-apply a mod, and then start up again...

Also, I've noticed that the problem of CO2 buildup has not been addressed yet. Has this just not been worked on yet, or is it not possible yet to make a nuke that can last for extended periods underwater like the real deal?

nevermind my last post... I just realized you can just turn off the air supply limitations... sometimes, only sometimes, I'm really stupid...

Actually I have already merged the 688i, skipjack and Ohio into one mod

[treblesum81]

Please point me to it, as I've not been able to find anything of the sort... that being said, its hard to find anything these days because there are no up to date mod lists and no real naming convention for mods other than "[REL]" which not everyone even uses (all of these are [WIP], so far as I can tell... unless there are some full releases buried somewhere in the forums...)

Also, should I assume that any nuke placed here needs to be run with infinite O2 and Battery to work correctly??

I do the same with fuel, batteries etc. On the Skipjack, batteries were dying far too quickly. A nuclear reactor, in relation to the time frames we are using in patrols before our torps are expended, would be next to unlimited.

And as I said before, if you are driving a 688i in 1941.. what do you need the extra renown of higher realism setting for... upgrades? heh

LoL, that makes sense :p

Updated changes list in original post. Also it's looking like this will be released for stock SH4 initially and then made compatible for RFB & RSRDC later. I'm running into some conflict issues, shouldn't be much of a problem but it will consume a little more of my time. So I think for right now I'm going to release this for stock in the next couple of days.
