Do you think I can plant this mod in SH4 since it was derived from SH3?

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Yes, I guess that it´s possible. I never looked at this issue in Sh4/SH5. ASFAIK, Sh4/SH5 had the AI_torpedo controller out of the box by devs...don´t they work well?

Anyhow, I will release a new version tomorrow. The changes are listed on the next post (in some minutes)...take a look!

Update:

The next version (Version 2) is on the way. A lot of new things on it:

1. Added a real 3d working allied acoustic torpedo (FIDO, aka M24 mine)
2. Added a integrated randon patrols on RND (to be merged on Campaign_RND.mis), putting the mod definitivelly on career/campaign.
3. Added effects and sounds for all events (exclusive for the mod, this way it is compatible with any sh3 installation). Now we have sound for torp release from airplane, for torp splash on water, for torp cruising, etc.
4. Added new 3D model and texture for FIDO, this way it is now very different from german/air torpedos ( and seems more the historical FIDO itself). Also it have unique behaviour, small bubble trail, very tiny wake, it´s more slow (as historically), have different explosion splash and inflict less damage (as historically) than the common air torp.
5. Fido now can hit you from 4,5m to 45m deep
6. a lot of small adjusts on various places on the mod for fine tunning

ETA is tomorrow. If I have a busy real life tomorrow, than it will be here in 2 days.

Stay tunned!

Nice one Rubini

I'm starting a new career when this comes out, for sure!

Hello,

I would use some help dealing with sound and SH3.sdl thing.

I'm not following what and how should I do to make sound work.

I made one attempt but it end up in CTD due to sound problems.

Something like Aces' Combined SH3.SDL Files including your sound would be a relief.

So finnaly I made it.

This is how it was done: Since I'm using "Ace's Combined SH3.SDL Files V2" mod I opened it's sdl via S3D (the SH3.SDL in GWX sounds folder can not be opened with S3D), I did the same with the small sh3.sdl that is in this mod, copy/pasted those three entries into "Ace's Combined SH3.SDL Files V2" SH3.SDL file and saved it. Now I have the torpedo drop sound working.

Thanks by the interest on this mod, Troublos! And i´m happy that you have managed to adjust it by yourself. I´m sure that you then have learned a bit more on how to mod SH3!


@Wreford-Brown:
Thanks to try it!
I have a new version of the Air torpedo mod ready, I´m just playing with it a bit before release. BTW, the adjust on sh3.sdl don´t need to be remade, you can use this one that you have now.

Cheers!

Rubini.

it´s ready. But by real life labor and unspected problems I left it behind since last month. Perhaps in near future I can come back to it. At the same package i also made a new "Abandon boat" mod that have real sailors abandonning your uboat and real scutle charges, etc. See here (mp4 video download) an old beta compatible with Stiebler´s abandon mod routine showing these news real 3d action:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?kbry6zcl42tobul

This abandon mod is to be used if you are lost at sea without fuel or very damaged and can´t go back home. It shows a very stressed crew in the last uboat minutes dialogs and action. After the crew abandon the boat, a last dive to deep order is given and the self destruction charges finally seal the uboat fate. Some few minutes late your uboat will be destroyed by pressure. Then a dice is rolled and you can be rescued by friends or enemy or even perish at sea by sunstroke and dehydration. If i have the necessary time i will release both.

Good news!

P.S. Thank you for Your labour!

Good news Rubini.
sh3.sdl is used by many mods and often makes problems with cooking mod's soup.

[Wreford-Brown]

I'm a bit late to this particular party (about six weeks late!) but finally managed to get some time to try your mod last night.

Awesome piece of work Rubini

Well, it seems that you share almost the same location so...

Welcome to SUBSIM.

[Toyotagt86]

I have down load the SH3 Air Torpedo mod v2
I like it very much it it a great mod but I have some question to ask:
Is this mod compatibles with the Air torpedo Fido hard core patch in the Stiebler4C_V16B1?

Best regards

Thank you
