[REL] Improved Damage Model and No Instant Death 1.0

[audessy]

Fixed. I was working on the wrong zone file in 1.0.

Now the only thing changed in your zones.cfg file will be under the "Uboat" section of the file. Thanks for detecting that.

Almost..
I see still many diffs in Flotability field outside Uboat section, for example:

;NEW SMALL MERCHANT
;************************************************* ******
[NSKeel]
Category=Keel
Multiplier=5.0
Flotability=100.0 instead of 50.0

(...)

[NSFlotMain]
Multiplier=1.0
Flotability=16 instead of 8.0

..and so on.

When i install this mod, my sub has 1% hull integraty. When i uninstall it, it goes back to 100%.

I'm using BRF full mod.

They are not compatible, the mod that gets activated last overwrites the zones.cfg of the other. Don't try mixing these 2.

Suspected that, reason I was holding off on the merge. I'll make a patch that includes only your tweaks to the "submarine" section, let's hope it's the proper aproach.

Ehr... sorry for questioning, but there's some stuff I want to make sure about it being intentional;

Missing category for compartments:


And assigning "ammo" as cargo to stuff like the conning tower or the deckgun:


Fear that with a 10x multiplier and "ammo" as cargo, a hit to the CT would send the whole sub to the bottom in a heartbeat.

Can also confirm the values for a lot of non-submarine zones are far from stock values, in a lot of cases even more exaggerated than the ones for BRF.

I am glad to see collaboration on this, I love BRF and I really like the concept of IDMNID. Seeing that JSGME conflict was a real disappointment. Good luck with this merging strategy.

When audessy will be done with base file it should be very easy to merge that conflicting file from BRF and IDMNID by WinMerge.

U can read how to deal with most conflicting mods here ->

Unfortunately not changing the zones.cfg file won't do much. Most of the work is in that file.

And yes. Those changes were intentional. Its strange that those categories are missing. But Quarters 1 and 2 I believe aren't even used in SH5 on player subs anyway.
No, getting nailed in the conning tower doesn't give you insta-death. It was for increased crew death in SH3/4. It probably isn't necessary now. But yes it was intentional and no it's not as harsh as it looks. Ammunition stores for the deck gun and AA guns were obviously held in compartments in the conning tower.

And @tomaz that file was directly taken from my Silent Hunter 5 folder and the only items modified were under the Uboat section. If there is still a difference then you and I are both confused.

As for the "hull integrity" issue. Is this only a cosmetic issue or are you really 1 machine gun bullet from death? Because in my mod Hull Integrity shouldn't matter anyway. In fact your hull should never get destroyed.

I don't know tbh. As soon as the game is loaded though, the crew shout out about the damage.

I've gone back to my original set-up using your new damage settings, which is to add your settings that you posted in the other thread to the zone cfg file of the BRF mod.
So before BRF was enabled, i opened the BRF zone cfg file, added your settings for the players sub, clicked yes to save changes then enabled BRF with JSGME. I take it this should work?
I now have 100% hull.

Keith.
