While the platforms were terrain objects, the said controller prevented adjoining coastal defenses from using their guns, but now that the platforms are an equipment of the bunker unit, no adverse effects can be noticed. Had I used the usual collision spheres instead, I am almost sure bunker's gun would have stopped working, as those spheres tell unit's AI that an obstacle is close, and stop regular routines in favour of collision avoidance routines. Tomorrow I will update all the platforms available so far with sim file and StaticObject controller, and I will improve their collision mesh so that it will match better visible meshe's shape. Your task will be testing my changes with TDW's seabottom patch, and making the usual ballistic tests against the bunker, for excluding any possible adverse side effects gap off |

I dont know WHY SSC will occur in SH5 but I know very well how to reproduce it, even with lightly modded game. There's no specific cause for this issue, the only possible cause is lack of official patches... Quote:
Check my tips for stable gameplay when you have time. They apply to SH5 with any modlist. You may get a picture what actually SH5 engine doesn't like. Quote:

Hi palmic
You must not end your game before September 4th. Look for the flashing yellow anchor and you can then end your patrol knowing you can continue again ok. The Wolves Of Steel Frequently Asked Questions + Campaign Fix In >FAQ’s & Game Tips (Please Look Here First Before Posting A Question) - I've arrived in Kiel but I cant select Eastern British Coastal Waters objective, only Danzing objective is available? Campaign objectives are date controlled and EBCW objective will not be available until 4th September 1939. Peter

If you open SubFlags' and stock Conning_7*.FX files in hex editor (if you do it in Goblin you wont notice any difference among the two sets of files), you will see that TDW added three new dummy equipment bones -one for the flagstaff and one for each flag- to U-boat conning towers, and he did it using a file type which is rather supposed to link effects to unit models (hats off to him)! Obviously this is not the most orthodox way to go, today we would simply create the needed bones through GR2 Editor (though I am not sure that GR2 Editor is able to process conning tower granny objects yet), but at the time he worked on the flag mod, this option was surely not available. Add to that, that each flag is actually composed of 25 dat objects, each composed in turn of 98 polygons, 164 edges and 70 vertices, which are loop-animated at an average rate of ca. 12 frames per second. Add to that, that sub flags are always in rendering range. Add to that that sub flags and ship flags use two different sets of animated meshes, so when at least one ship is in rendering range, memory/GPU are burdened twice. Tell me anything you want, but sub flags are not a "simple object". |

Hi Guys
I have been following your progress with the CDs - looking very good I thought I would upload a few pics for you from my home town that overlooks the Hoy Sound entrance to Scapa Flow View from inside CDs Spotting tower |

Thank you Trev, do you happen to have a picture showing the outside of the main gun emplacement? Is the inside of a bunker-like structure the one shown in the top picture?

OK OK, they are not simple, of course...But they are not hardware intense too. What are 92 poligons, vertices or whatever for today standards? Nothing...
Even with my old computer I can add sub flags without noticing any FPS impact or anything. Yet, the game will become largely "destabilized" and CTD chances will be significantly increased, especially in some "intense areas" like Kiel... And it is always the same CTD, with same fault module name...MSVCR90.dll And this what bothers me... Why? It is not simmple mods incompatibility, that's for sure... I can tell how can you reproduce this "illusive" MSVCR90.dll CTD even without sub flags on board with just "must have" mods on board (OHII, NewUIs, FXU ect) and if you tell me something more about it I will kiss your Italian buttocks...

Problem with docking?
Hi Kaleunen, i am really sorry to bothering you with it, but my problem with docking still exists and i really dont know what i am supposed to do.
- It was not relevant to choosing mission before 4.9. as intended before. Right now i am in dock in Kiel at 5. september and i have no docking button in my UI. I simply cannot go out of my boat and end the patrol.. Thank you very much for any advice! |

I think this should be in FAQ too near of the 4.9. answer, because its quite unintuitive if you expect to really dock das boot which is likely with so immersive mod. I'll try to HINT here any other "user test" question which ill have because i think it could be valuable for you to have notes from newbies about "strange things" |
