In SCXII Mod- BUG- IOWA BB Top speed is 5 knots

tippership · 09-04-11, 10:13 PM

So I discovered mods- after playing SC for ages XD- I got the NWS mod for FC then the SCXII mod for Sub Command(patched to 1.08)

I made some missions with the Iowa BB - then noticed something.
As Soon as you select the ship (one of the four ones-Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri, Wisconsin - )in the mission editor- the speed goes to 5 knots. So I go and try to change it- and suddenly the message pops up that the speed cannot be more than 5 knots.

:/

Yea, okay. And I can go to the reference guide and it says 35 knots.

>_>
how can I go about solving this? These ships are pretty dangerous up close to foes- but moving at 5 knots, they wont get anywhere?

I remember encoutering this problem when SCX was first released. You can edit a ship's maximum speed using the SCEdit program.

The DWX team has announced that they are working on debugging and improving Sub Command SCXII. If it is in line with their work on DW, it sounds interesting.

alas, SCedit is impossible to track down just about these days

EDIT: Another thread in the forum has a link but the link is down

Hi Tippership,

If the Iowa's speed is only 5 knots, .. then you don't have the latest version of the SCX IIc database. In one of the earlier versions of SCX IIc, I had been running some tests on the Iowa, and forgot to reset it's speed.

In the latest version of the SCX IIc DB (circa 2004), the Iowa's Max Speed is 34 knots.

If you PM me your e-mail address, I'll send you my SCX IIc database.

Cheers
Tom

After much searching, I've found a copy of SCEdit, if anyone is interested, please PM me and I'd be happy to shoot it off to you in an E-mail.

Finding the file has, of course, got me tinkering here and there once again, and I noticed that I had forgotten to adjust the top speed for the Iowa, too. Still set at 5 knots, I increased it to 31 knots, the speed I got for the Iowa out of Janes Fighting Ships.

Ah, I love this sim.

Cheers
