Need advice for testing flooding?

[Hans Witteman]

Hi fellows modders,

Is there a quick way to disable the death event in GraphHitPointsAll so i can test my water flooding without having to restart game each time?

I try to change death state to normal state but i still get death screen.

Should a change hull integrity value?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards Hans

Did you try changeing State_Damage10?

Goto entry=9

that should throw you in a loop avoiding State_Damage11

Hi mate,

Thank will have a try at this one

Pretty hard to test stuff with sudden death and restart all the time!

I also wonder if linking the flooding water to hull integrity could do the trick via statemachines?

death of subs is function of other mechanism... non StateMachineWrapper...

Hi Anvart,

You mean hard coded stuff probably? If so is there anyway i can avoid being bring to the death screen while i am doing test?

You can make the u-boat invulnerable ... changing the zon-files of u-boat.

Hi again mate,

Just tried it and unfortunately it doesn't avoid the death screen!

Will have to find another way around.

Best regards hans

Hi Anvart,

Thank mate will check if this one work

Best regards Hans

That will work and is probably the easiest way.
Change the value up by a wild factor like 100 times the original value.

UBER BOOT!!!

Hi again Anvart,

I just put 99999999 in hitpoints and believe it or not i still have the screen of death but just a little bit longer than before!

Do i have to change armor level also to really avoid the death screen?

Best regards Hans

Too, for testing, open Zones.cfg and change flooding parameters and may be something else...
Remember my "rubbish" (current computer) can't work with SH3...

P.S.
I understand badly what you want ... i would have done so in two stages ...
At first, i would have made the effect as looped animation not related to damage and StateMachine and adjusted all visual parts ...
and only then i would have made the State Machine Code ...

Hi mate,

Ok will have to do the files dance once again

Modding SH3 is all about remembering 1000 files interactions

Best regards Hans

Nope.
It's about remembering 1000000 file interactions then finding out
you don't know the other 1000000!

Hans,

take a look at these links and see if they are useful:

Try to just delete all the spheres an box of the .zon (using s3d) and raise the armour, HP and crashdeep of the uboat.

But with this you will disable all the damage of the uboat I think. So, perhaps just raising the HP and crashdeep could be the trick? Also in zones.cfg you can raise the floodingtime, hp for compartments and making flotability=1 for all compartments.
