Bump.

BTW, eventually, before i call it quits, im going to retouch those inneffective japanese minefields to be a bit more dangerous. I just havent gotten off my kiester to do it yet.

Oh, I'm sure you'll start modding again eventually...you can't resist the Dark Side!
Happy New Year to you and your family, Duci!

No, i really am going to call it quits, im forcing myself to.. There is always something else to try and improve, and i really don't want to sit here 2 years hence, having never really sit down and enjoy a full career game.

In the process of trying to improve the game, ive utterly destroyed it for myself. And my interest to play right now, im afraid to say, is next to non existant. It's my intent to put the final version up, and go play another game for a month or three or four. Hopefully within that time, most of everything ive done with Sh4 will be somewhat of a mystery to me. Then, i too, can sit down and enjoy the game.

Ok. Minefields, were indeed in dire need of help.

Ill use this one minefield as an example:

Old settings:
In one square kilometer, only one mine would spawn, at a depth between 131 feet, and 246 feet. First of all, your chances of running accross a single mine within one square kilometer is pretty much non existant. Second of all, your chances of running accross it, at the depth it was at, is also, pretty much non existant since its depth is random. You'd have to have some pretty rotten luck to acutally see one, let alone hit one. This minefield itself would be 60 KM wide. As wide as it is, its still pretty sparce.

New settings:
This same minefield after i monkeyed with it, will have 6 mines spawning, every 1 square kilometer (as opposed to 1 mine). It will be at a depth between 65 feet, and 246 feet. So your chances of hitting one are much greater. Although, the odds are still in your favor taht you won't. This minefield, ive reduced in width to 11 KM wide. So while its much thinner in width, its much thicker in density.


This could get intresting if aircraft are nearby. Your pretty much safe from mines at periscope depth, but you risk being spotted by aircraft which can bomb you at that depth. hey, the minefields only 11KM wide though! :rotfl:

I hear you and totally understand. I've never seriously modded a game, though I've dabbled with modding to some extent, and I still got that "oh I've had enough of this sh*t!" feeling and abandoned the game altogether. The feeling must be even more intense for you, mate. I don't know if I'll be here either in a couple of months, as much as it pains me I've been known to be quite active in a forum and then disappear completely when I get fed up with the respective game. It's the dedication of people like you who make the stay so enjoyable, though.
I wish you all the best, it's been a blast!
