YAY! I sunk my game! .. wait wut ?

[plj]

This sounds exactly like what I am getting .. altho I am greeted by a 'sh5 has stopped working' dialogue from windows.

The only difference is that have had this issue on a regular C1-B Type Medium Merchant ... and on a tanker as well iirc.

Let me know what scenario to replay in order to help .. and I'll keep reporting too. Sortof a bummer to have to save before firing tubes, but it's for a good cause :p

Maybe we should test in the same mission...When you have time, make few attacks in the torpedo tutorial mission. What do say?

Keep me informed, and if your problem is ironed out, try restoring the discussed effects one by one, to see which one(s) was/were causing the problem

[vdr1981]

Tnx Gap,
i removed those effects...4 strikes and still no CTD...But i wont celebrate yet, you newer know when CTD could strike again...

What those effects do? I haven't notice any differences without them?

Gap, 10 attacks and no CTD...This is good news...

I actually removed all effects from radio room definition but i haven't noticed any differences in game? Do i still have functional radio patches?

And what about that "wounded unit radioing" mod included in TDW patcher? Do i need those ships .zon files for radio patches to functioning properly?

Also, i'm a bit anxious to get effects back...

Effects are just effects... other than making the game visually enjoyable and causing secondary damage to nearby zones (this is one of FX Update's features) they don't play any role in game mechanics, and they don't affect in any way the Radio patch.

Nonetheless, there is a little trick I used when I set the second effect (BAZA_FX_FocFum_mic): I made it to be triggered after a 50% damage, which is exactly when TDW's radio patch disables ship's radio equipment. Knowing this trick, you get a visual evidence that your target can't call for reinforcements anymore

If you have time, try restoring them one by one to pinpont which one, or which combination of them, caused your problem. You can also replace them with other effects, if you want. If you tell me which ship are you carrying your tests on, I will post a picture showing where her radio room is placed

P.S: one last note. Removing effects from a zone definition doesn't necessarily mean giving them up: other zones which are set with those effects, WILL trigger them, if damaged

So .. loaded up that mission 3 times now .. WITHOUT the suggested changes, and no CTD's here. I did remove the red flare stuff.

Limited time now, I'll test further tomorrow.

Also .. having to reload the mission after each kill, wont that reset stuff ?

[plj]

Thanx Rongel! Will test with this too

Looks awesome Rongel!

In my opinion much more realistic than the debris we had before

Sorry for the late reply: I took two days off

Before you start testing, you should download my Ship Radio Damage Patch Test 1 which (I hope) should make ship radio equipment more susceptible to damage.

Open its Zones.cfg file, and modify/remove RadioRoom effects at your wish. The file is identical to the one of FXU 0.0.22, with the exception of RadioRoom's HP and AP settings by the way. You can enable it on top of the latest FXU version.

The patch should affect particularly Liberty ships, and Appalachian-class amphibious ships, wose compartment boxes I have rearranged for making their radio room zone more exposed to enemy fire. Make sure to carry your tests on one of them, and aim at the red boxes below (left: Liberty, right Appalachian)



One last note: the patch is not R.S.D. compatible (I deviced it before you started working on your mod), but if you prefer you can use R.S.D's Zone file, and change RadioRoom's settings as stated above

[vdr1981]

Cpy Gap, will do some testing in the following days...

[SnipersHunter]

Thank you gap

[QUOTE=gap;2124356]I took two days off

Must have been great. I see your sense of humor again in the other thread about the beerophone instead of hydrophone. Not saying you never had one, I just did not comment on them before.
