[REL] OhioSSBN mod for Silent Hunter IV

caesura · 09-03-11, 04:47 PM

I love the mod for the most part. The boat is beautiful. You did a great job on the graphics and design of it. Thank you so much.

I'm running a clean install 1.5 gold edition with no other mods but this one.

I had a couple of issues, one that I fixed and one that I can't figure out how to resolve.

1. When I was running the boat at periscope depth with all periscopes down a wake was appearing above the boat. I fixed this by changing the periscope depth in the NSS_OhioSSBN.cfg file from 25m to 26m. Now it runs with no wake.

2. I have noticed that when returning to periscope depth from a dive below 200ft that the boat passes above the set periscope depth and pops out of the water, and at high speed will bob up and out a couple of times before it settles to the proper depth.

Is there a way to fix this? It also happens on diving. It will dip pretty far below the desired depth and then rise and fall a couple of times before evening out.

I would like a smoother transition to the desired depth. Is there a way I can fix this? or do I just fire my pilot

Thanks for making such a beautiful boat, and I hope you can give me some insight into how to resolve this issue.

this is a problem with most boats going faster then 13 knots.

The only way too avoid this is lowering your speed to 5 about 5 knots.

You don't want your nose sticking out when you are tracking a task group :p

Ok, Cool I guess I can manage the ascent rates by only going up to 100 ft and then going to periscope depth from there when at high speeds.

I thought I saw someone asking about this before, but I didn't recall seeing a reply... Is there any plan on getting the ICBM's to work on the Ohio class like they did on the Typhoon class?

I would love my Ohio even more if this was possible.

Oh, and any idea what files I could edit to make the torp storage capacity the same as the typhoon?

Thanks for your guidance.

i have 120 slots on my ohio

you need to edit the ohio upc file and the sim file with silent 3ditor

make sure the values are the same

Cool, I upgraded my number of slots, but is there any way to make it so the modern torpedos load when I refit for a mission? When I dock I always get the old game standard ones and have to manually reload the newer ones.

I updated those two files, and all is well. If you want to update a career you also have to update the latest saved game file ActivePlayerUnits.upc file.

Now the only question is how to get it to load the torpedoes that I want when I refit, and not just put on the lame old ones. Adding in huge numbers of torps is tedious.

that is very possible; go back to the subs upc file where you changed the number of torpedo's.

An example

[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 5.Bunker 1] ; Forward Torpedo Room
ID=BowTorpedoRoom
Capacity=80
IDLinkAmmunitionIntervalDefault1= NULL, NULL, T7Torpedo, 40, T11Torpedo, 40

That would give you 40 torpedoes and 40 rockets

change the amount to your desire
