Is this alien abduction?
Or standard end of campaign stuff?

Trevally, are you responsible for this?

So you should add the file yourself, just copy and paste it to fix



Yes - this will be the reason. Polish ships should not be attacked in they show blue in your map and/or after 05/Oct/39

Great stuff, thanks T. Gone in and edited the file.

On a side note, you don't happen to have a screen of the problem ship do you? I had a CTD last night as a torp hit a smallish freighter, similar size to the Uekel Small Passenger (I think, it was dark, but I'll know it if I see it) and wondered if I'd fluffed the fix. Don't think it's the same one but probably best to check!

(shame really, I was rether perversely looking forward to doing the dance with those DD's)

This is the 'normal' way SH5 ends a campaign phase if my memory serves - if you're at sea on the final date of the campaign, you'll get that message (or variations on it if you don't do so well), then you get teleported/loaded into the next campaign. Trevally can probably explain it better.

Welcome Mishuleu

Great list. Just one suggestion, see below.

NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_Das_Boot_Crew_Mod_by_Illyustrator
Nauticalwolf's Damage and Torpedo UI (b) Mod V1.1
Real Environment - Revision_3 <<< I suggest you try the Dynamic Environment. DL here; http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ic+environment
Reboot's Hot Soup 1.1
Reboot's Water Drips 1.1
OPEN HORIZONS II_enviro v1.7
OHII v1.7 patch1
TDW_Mines_Subnets_Detectable_in_hydro (OH II v1.7)

Hi Trevally,

OHII overwrites zones.cfg. How does that affect TDW's FX Update? Does this negate having FX Update, and should we then just disable the latter mod?

Thanks ..

If you did it wrong the ctd would happen as game loads - so you are ok.
The ship even just get skipped if wrong, but better to keep the cfg files correct.
The ship is a stock SH5 ship.

Other than bad mod soup and low PC mem, units being hit by torp or cannon is the most common ctd in the game at the moment

The zone.cfg in OHII is the one made by TDW for FX_19
So install OHII after FX and you will be ok to overwrite

Right I see, I did wonder.

CTDs on torp or cannon impact would point us to... what... zones.cfg? If it's at impact, that would link it to damage calculations and placement I suppose? Could something like Real Sink be causing it?

Just thinking out loud, never know we might nail it

I do not use real sink and have never had a ctd with torp impact.

Planes attacking are for me the only ctd I get. Only when more the 3 attack and harbours are rendered (within 30km of me)

[Trevally.]

I also had a ctd when testing AI deck guns in a single mission.
I hade 20 Liberty cargos in a convoy and charged them with a wolfpack loaded with TheBeasts mod for testing the AI deck gun.

The ctd happened when 20 ships fired starshells

Silent Steel, thank you for your advise. Indeed this mod is better but i hope it will not create a conflict with MO. I know that MO contains real enviroment mod.

[bravo_01]

just wanted to say thank you for your time and effert on this mod

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Trevally! Much appreciated!

p.s. Thanks for the mod. Just returned to playing SH5 now that DRM is gone, and am getting into OHII!

Nice Mod!
