Getting consistent game crashes from this. Can't finish even 1 patrol. Any ideas?

Need more information than that. Are you running any MODs? When does it crash. Does it happen at certain times or when you are doing certain things?

No mods. Stock game. It crashed once when I launched a supply boat. Otherwise if often crashes when starting a new career.

It has been a while, but if I remember right you can't do supply missions with a surface ship for some reason, but I forget what the reason was. I think there are a couple of things missing in the .dat file.

You mentioned you can't even finish one patrol, can you start a career and it crashes later, or do it crash before you can leave base?

did you get the depth charges to work? We have done a lot of modding on ships and environment for sh4 and our American destroyer still doesnt drop depth charges. something id like to get fixxed. http://www.filefront.com/user/Bishop7

our ships are for multiplayer and work all around.

I did not even attempt to get the DCs working since in the stock game there is nothing to Drop them on. That would require a rewrite of the campaign files which at this time, I do not have time to do. Technically when the ship is playable it is no longer a ship it is a sub. So no DCs. And there are no submerged subs in the stock game.

This ship has not been tested in multiplayer but it has been tested in Career mode and should work, so there is a mistake somewhere.

@audessy

If you could send me your Flotillas.upc and CareerStart.upc, I can take a look and see if there is a mistake, and return them to you.

Peabody

believe me in totally understand lol. no subs worth dropping dc on. ive been toying with this idea so in the future we can play multiplayer versus. then you will have a sub worth dropping on and hunting . good stuff peabody thanks for the hard work. and if we get dcs working ill let ya know.

Well hang on a sec... I was able to do these missions in battleships. The boat would collide and make all sorts of noise but it still worked. Why would this be? Is it because the other ships weren't based on a sub? I'm confused.

All the surface ships are based on subs. It is just when you brought it up, I remember a problem with supply missions, but don't remember the details of the problem. I will check it to see if I can find what it was and fix it. After thinking a while, I am going to check, it may be the men for the launched boat.

But the main concern now is the problem with you not being able to do a patrol. That is why I asked about your files. It may be there or it may be in the files I uploaded. I didn't have a problem when I tried it in career, I just would like to see what your files are to compare them.

There are my Career Start and Singapore Flotilla, they look the same as yours, unless I missed something....and here is my Asashio in Singapore harbor.




So, either I am not seeing the mistake, or there is something else wrong with it. Did you make sure you copied the new files to the MOD folder. (I assume you are doing this in a different location). Any other MODs that may conflict?
Check the files again for a mistake, if you can't find it, I can post these for you. I will probably try to find the problem with supply missions and then post a new update and include the Campaign files.

I'm running stock SH4 with a zones.cfg file on top of the Asashio DD.

Hmm... At ease sir. I'll figure it out eventually. I was hoping I made a simple mistake. That isn't the case.

Hello Peabody ,, Nice Ship .. However she wont sail because the billets are emptie of crew . When I go to my crew managemnt screen there are nor crew members present got any Ideas .. I am Using RFb now . Ill will try to disable and re-run to see if that changes it

[Captain_AJ]

Ok I disabled the RFB and she works , However I cannot get the foward gun to work ,, Hmm Tricky thing . Ill go back and disable any mods and just have the ship working .. THANKs

[LtzS_Petersen]

I play with GFO, Real Environment+GFO Patch, and some smaller Mods. There she works fine.
As i read in any Threads before, peabody hasnt the Time to work on his Mods anymore. So we had to try out anything by ourselves.
