[REL] Trevally - Harbour Pilot Scripts

[The General]

I'd love an auto-plot for Keil Canal, a la GWX

[Trevally.]

Hi General

When the set waypoint command is introduced by TDW, then Keil Canal would be possible.

I would also tighten up the others to prevent speed being a factor.

Make one for la Manche aka English Channel as well.

What is AI for? I know it would be hard with scripting, but some form of land/shallows avoidance would be great!

Then you could set your final waypoint, where you want to end up, and the sub would avoid hazards automagically. Kind of like the travel mode button.

I just wish I could get the captain off the bridge with a script command, so the crew won't refuse to dive! Anyway, the pilot would have to wear his water wings, cause I would dive with or without him aboard.

You can do that with scripts. TDW's mod has own crash dive command that teleports you from the brudge if you wish, you can also set a delay for it in your User Config. There are also other script possibilities to be moved from the bridge. If you have an idea for a new useful script - share it, and you'll see me (and probably also Trevally) doing our best to script it for you.

I'm getting a CTD when in harbour with your mod. I uninstalled your script from this list which was at the bottom.

Trev, does the Travel mode work with this mod, and can it be used without any of TDW's UIs or mega mods?

with
-150 = relative heading
2000= distance
9=speed

Perhaps with this It would have been a whole lot easier

I added a new command to Automation called Navigate_from_file. Parameter 3 of the command specifies the file to read the waypoints from. The waypoints are defined as follows:
x,y,z,tc,depth,speed

where:
x = the x distance in meters
y = the y distance in meters
z = are these relative distances? value < 1 is False, value >= 1 is True
tc = time compression level to use on this waypoint
depth = depth to use for this waypoint
speed = speed to use for this waypoint

A new command was added to the Navigator's order bar - Report Fix. When clicked this will report your current sub's fix (position) in x,y meters from game origin. You can use this command to help plot a navigation route/search pattern/etc via a navigation file.

See the \data\Navigation\TDW_Navigation.txt file for more info and see \data\Navigation for example navigation files.

This new command is only available in v4.4.0 and later versions.

Here are the contents of an included navigation file included in v4.4.0 (Navigation_test_relative.SHN):

; waypoint data contains the following:
; - parameter 1 - x distance (in meters - whole numbers only! Can be +-)
; - parameter 2 - y distance (in meters - whole numbers only! Can be +-)
; - parameter 3 - are these relative distances? value < 1 is False, value >= 1 is True
; - parameter 4 - time compression level (powers of 2 only! Positive values only)
; - parameter 5 - depth (whole positive values only! Specify 0 for surface)
; - parameter 6 - speed (float value - can be +-)

; performs a box pattern using relative waypoints

0,3000,1,1,0,17
3000,0,1,2,12,4
0,-3000,1,4,20,7
-3000,0,1,8,50,3
0,3000,1,16,0,10

Thanks TDW this is superb,

I should be updating "Harbour Pilot" with these new commands shortly.

Many thanks.

[Trevally.]

I have now collected all the information required to fully update Harbour Pilot

U-Boat speed will now not affect the Pilot. (Davy need not swim anymore)
Added Kiel Canal out & inbound.

Should be ready tomorrow night

You were able to figure out how to get the waypoint information and collect them all and assemble into a navigation file? Excellent

Are you making fun of him? Of course he was!


Trevally: how do you solve the problem of the start point for Kiel in?
