It is corrected, and you can re-download the Update 9 in half an hour
Sorry for this inconvenience.



The Rodney is an old SH3 importation it seems, and the turrets are from other ship. Hence the color mismatching...
For the moment i can’t do nothing i’m Afraid ...

fifi, I will look in the Rodney in a few hours, perhaps tomorrow... depending on how long that PM issue takes to sort out.


Fixed the Rodney gun textures, other guns have problems that I'm looking at now...

Many thanks, so we’ll have an other update sooner than expected

I have fixed the sound issue where one file was looping for ever after some time.
We could hear it mainly at the hydrophone station.
I have fixed also the thunder flashes not corresponding to new Materials.dat

June 25 1940 around AM41 I came across a very large (20 ish) eastbound convoy that was escorted. As I went to periscope depth and watched as the escorts opened fire on the ship in the convoy.

Were you close enough to see which ship was which Sniper450? Like a US DD or whatever, and a French freighter or something?? Were they shooting at just one ship, or several? Are you certain there was not a fellow Kaleun nearby?...

I think I know where it comes from…
I have revised the countries side entering the war, and it seems convoys have such a nation mix in there…
Maybe an ennemy that shouldn’t be…
OMG, will back up things
We can’t adjust countries side without adjusting the whole campaign missions!
An other learned lesson.

UPDATE 10 IS OUT!!
See end of post #1

Delete previous Update 9 and all the add-on mods.
Paste Update 10 as it is in your MODS folder.

It would be nice, if things happened the way they probably did in real life, where a skipper would have been signaled that their country had surrendered, and if they continued with the convoy, they would be impounded upon arrival at destination, or they could separate themselves from the convoy, and be given safe passage from the convoy toward home - not saying that they would arrive safely, just that the convoy would not shoot at them... ?? But the game is what it is - belligerent against belligerent, and neutrals are ignored, unless you accidentally shoot one...

i would agree. some date passed when one country changed sides and when the convoy spawned, the escorts considered that ship a wolf among the sheep.
with all of the mixed convoys....the fix is going to be one hellava job. i do not envy you.

Indeed a hell of a job...not for me!
I backed up the original Lurker file for DefSides... Problem solved

I won't have access to my laptop until Sunday. The wife and I are on a little vacation. I do recall a mix of nations involved. The excorts were all British if I recall correctly. I can double check everything upon my return if it would help.

It most likely isn't necessary. When Fifi flipped back to the original "clean" DefSides file, all is well.

Yes i could say 100% sure.
But you need to start new career so the file takes effect!...and best to delete again Document/SH4
