No pinging in RSRD/TMO?

Bubblehead1980 · 01-14-10, 12:54 AM

maybe just a fluke, but i was in flat calm seas, ideal sonar conditions during both attacks on the first convoy.Second convoy seas were rough.In TMO only they wouldve been all over me.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with many of the escorts in convoys in RSRD having their skill level set to competent.In regular TMO almost all escorts are Vet and a few are set to elite.Maybe was just a fluke, perhaps will find out next patrol.

Still had a good patrol though, ended with almost 40,000 tons down, mostly tankers.

nope, opened up the files and many escorts, in fact it seems most are set to competent.I would do changes myself but you cant with RSRD, upsets everything else for some reason.

RSRDC is working as designed

The convoy in question is C 1944/05/13 11+4 from 44b_Jap_Convoys.mis. Within that convoy are 11 Merchants and 4 escorts. These escorts are 2 Type A/B Coastal Defense Ships and 2 Type C Coastal Defense Ships. The configuration date for this convoy is set to March 1 1944, which means that all weapons and sensors within the *.sns and .eqp files are set to that date.

If you review the .sns file for the Type C CDs you will note that they do not receive a Type93-5A Active Sonar until 19440401. The Type A/B CDs receive a Type93-5A Active Sonar on 19430801, however due to a typo in the .sns file the active sonar does not become active until March 31 1944. There for none of the escorts have active sonar

If you want to fix the problem for the Type A/B do the following

Edit Data\Sea\NCD_TYPEB\NCD_TYPEB.sns

Find:

[Sensor 4]
NodeName=N01
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=1938010
EndDate=19440331

and change it to read

[Sensor 4]
NodeName=N01
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=1938010
EndDate=19430731

Is this a typo I'm responsible for and need to fix?

The "fat fingering" is my fault. No action required on your part

Thanks. Anyway, I was Just asking, not pointing any fingers. I've made this mistake before, so it's entirely possible i fudged it up again. Admitidly my desire to open up ANY sh4 game file right now is virtually non existant, so i was being lazy by asking, rather then opening up the files and seeing for myself when i get home from work.

I really have to tip my hat Lurker, i don't know how you manage to keep up with the mods you have out. You must have the patience of a saint. If i managed the mods you do, i'd be letting loose with the F'ing fury on a regular basis.
