[REL] Gouldjg's Manage Your Crew Mod

[gouldjg]

Paco,

When you say you dont have points to spend, is that points to spend in the crew talent tree screen or morale points in the game.

There is a known stock save / reload bug that wipes your morale out in the game (Which I think only the Devs can fix).

To counter this in the mean time, I have set the bosun to give +2 morale to all crew at periodic times and the cook also gives a bigger morale boost with his treat e.g. +3. The timers then kick in.

This way, even when the existing morale is wiped after a re-load, you can get full morale quite easily then go into management mode while you play.

At the moment, the focus is on various timings during a attack run from either yourself or the enemy.

Version 1.20 is nearly ready in which I plan to add a further morale correction.

Can anyone tell me if the uber sonar abilities work on realistic mode e.g. shows enemy on map? Playing a game now to test as if these do not show, then I have 2 spare talent slots for when playing realistic game settings.

Thanks for Your answer.

The moral is ok, I mean the talent-points. With ending of "Total Germany" I expected these points, but nothing happened. But ok, perhaps another problem, I will test it.

I haven't played long with the mod yet, but it doesn't seem compatible with the German localised version of the game. Some of the text and dialogue now appears in English (and sometimes very bad English - but I imagine that's Ubi's fault, not yours).

If the morale bug ever gets fixed, I imagine the morale boost should be toned down. Even now I find it a little too easy to get full morale.

Is it possible to ....

If you do "Spam" the engine boost or whatever it is called, or use extreme speed to long, for one or both of the engines blow out - suffer damage ?
Basicly, if you over push the equipment, it eventually needs to be completely stopped for maintanence or simply gives out forceing you to stop and fix it.

I have edited a couple of lines in the dialogs file. You should be able to find those lines and change to a german version.

Is that whilst attacking or under a attack e.g. I have set this up for mainly for attacking or defending because realistically this is going to be the main times when one would use the skills anyway.

You could be right in the fact that maybe a 1 or 2 drop from either the bosun or cook may be a good thing to do.

I am nearly done with the next version so will post it up shortly which will have a few things changed.

Unfortuantly no it is not. You could simulate a timed service of the sub which reduces all mechanical effects but this would have to be on a on/off in case you come under attack. Imagine if your are caught out and it takes like 3 mins to submerge etc. I think the players would kill me



It would have been nice if you could set random % with min and max but I do not have the skills.



Basically the list below shows what you can manipulate with the crew uber powers. For me there are a few choices here

1. Use them to get the sub performance to realistic values as much as possible e.g. Max speeds,

2. Use them to provide a kinda skill set that can, IF used correctly, mean the difference between living or dying on a mission.

3. Uber them out so your average 7 year old has a uber sub.

4. Ditch them all together and leave this aspect out till fixed properly = long wait IMHO

Right now, I am trying to get a mix of 1 and 2 whilst still making it in a such a way that as you level, it also represents some minor uplifts but nothing too far fetched.



I also have to try and workout if promotions etc once added then take the game to a too gamey point.

I use the morale abilities before I go into battle. Once I'm attacking or am under attack I have other things on my mind. I guess I'm not typical then
