[REL] Dark Waters

Hey all,

I created a small fix pack for this wonderful mod that fixes some localization errors. Namely, it fixes:

The Messages from BDU being in French: Set them back to English.

The Recognition Manual Covers (I redid them all, credits to HK_101 for the correct names for the Covers.) Also, I redid them in a new font, but you'll just have to wait and see the surprise on that one.

You now get renown for sinking neutral vessels, but you get twice as much renown for sinking allied vessels (exact levels are now 1 for neutral, 2 for allied.)

When you get a radio message, it will no longer say that its from 'COMSUBPAC' on the document - now it properly says it's from BDU.

However, as the original mod is Fifi's intellectual property, I'm not sure if I can release the fix without his permission.

Therefore, I am humbly asking Fifi for his permission to upload my fixes to his mod.

Don’t forget the base is Lurker’s work my friend! But of course you can upload your mod fix here

Good news people are still trying to enhance our job

It will be to activate on top of all without any problems i hope....and probably a new career start mandatory.

OK, thanks!

Here is a link to the localization fixes file (uploaded here at subsim.)

Hopefully everything works as advertised.

Couple of more questions.

1. When/how do the flotillas offer upgrades and/or new boats? I started off in 3rd Flotilla, Type IIB and transferred to 1st Flotilla Type IIC and it is now May 1940. Should a Type IID have been offered?

2. What is the criteria for being offered a new boat or upgrades? Stock SH4 requires "good" performance as a minimum, but I'm not sure what tonnage or renown that equals in Dark Waters.

Thanks!

Look in the Support / OM_DarkWaters_AddIns folder, and you will find several files (ods) of spreadsheets that have all sorts of mod info. The IIB and IIC overlapped, and the IIC and IID overlapped, as well as being available at different locations. This was due, of course, to the changing conditions during the war.

You will NOT get boat upgrades in Dark Waters, because they were not in OM. The game is very strange with the "upgrades", so lurker disabled them. When Fifi tried to implement them, they were odd, hence leaving them disabled.

Yes, Propbeanie is right.
That’s a shame, but it is unfortunately like that.
So no U-Boat upgrade to an other type...when starting with a type II you will fight all war with the type II...but to counterpart this, you always can start few careers with different U-Boats types, to kill the boringness, if any

On side note, numerous Kaleuns in real fought all war time line on same type!

We did not have enough time to do extensive testing, and have not heard from Kaleuns who have experienced their boats being retired, as to whether they always go with their boat, or whether they might experience an "upgrade" at that time. May-haps some could share their experience in that regard?
