In case that does not happen, is it not possible community to do fixes and upload? Would be great if we had some skilled people dedicating their time for this. I wouldn't mind giving 5-10 hours of my time if I knew anything about SH modding unfortunately I would have to dedicate much more just to grasp the basics...

I suppose a few people have the knowledge to do so but not sure if they would since it's lurkers work.Perhaps someone will pick it up.OM and RSRD need a facelift, amazing mods though.

I think it's the cfg file that contains settings for if there's lifeboats and such?

I don't have SH4 installed at this time so can't look to be sure.

Any Units transplated from SH3 to SH4 will not have those settings unless edited.

So you won't get life boats.

As for working on the original release files?

Lifeboats are native to SH4. The SH3 mods were taken from stock SH4, which comes with lifeboats.

SH4 also has added info in the Units cfg files that states percentage of survival and such does it not?

I have no idea.

Not sure if they are in the Units folder or the Roster folder but take a look.
You'll see the extra settings.
IF the units added don't have those settings? I don't think they spawn life boats.
Why else have them?

Aha, so that's what this means!

Quote:

SurvivalRate=xx
SurvivalPercentage=yy

Should be in each ship's .cfg file.

ETA: Did some searching, and this is what I came up with: SurvivalRate determines the chance of lifeboat crew being rendered, SurvivalPercentage determines how many of them will be rendered.

That would be what I was talking about.

Obviously needs to be raised as they rarely put out lifeboats if ever(again i dont recall ever seeing them in OM) sounds like a lot of work to adjust this.

I am working on improving my manual targeting, using save/loads I am sinking ships at a crazy level.

I have seen only 1 lifeboat so far. [this is more than 50 ships in the last 3 days alone].

so it is possible to see lifeboats using stock OM+OMEGU however expect to see it very rarely...
