Hi!

Well no news sadly, I'm taking a small break from SH 5 (had a new game!) but ofcourse will come back soon. I'm also following the TDW's importer/exporter progress as it will help this.

Simply put, the SH 4 damage 3d model seems to work even with SH 5 ships. The perfect thing would be that we find some differencies with the 3d models. Then we could just export them out, "fix" the 3d models and import them back in.

I have been doing my own tests with this using Rongel's findings. you can really tweak malfunctions using the crew special abilities file. This opens up a lot of possibilities.

The torpedo.sim file may also require some tweaking although duds, gyro problems, deep runners, circle runners are all in there.

Yep, that is true. The bad thing is that even with tweaking the special abilities, the dud probability never affects GR2 ships. It works 100 % correct with the imported ships but not with basic SH 5 ships...

Hmm, interesting, set dud probability to 100% and torpedoes still work flawlessly. Looks like duds may have to be put on hold until someone figures out the solution.

This was so easy to tweak in SH4, I wonder why they switched to GR2 ships. Is there an advantage over DAT.?

Yes, it (was) nearly impossible to rip the 3D model data and textures from GR2 files. Also the Granny system takes care of all the rendering, shadowing, etc. so it takes a workload off the programmers.

waking up an old thread, but wondering if any further work has been done on duds/malfunctions?

I have been thinking of re-tackling this issue.

TDW's .exe patch really fixes a this.

Now, 75% of the torps, even if they go 90 deg into the ships hull, are duds.... ARGH!!!!

Thanks, hard to keep up to date.
