[REL] Fifi Compilation for OM+OMEGU

[Benzin1973]

Guys, sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you change uboat in SH4 OM?
I mean, in SH3 i could change uboat type anytime i was in port, provided i had the prestige cost of the uboat. But here i dont see any place where i can "purchase" a different uboat.


Say i start my career in a type 2. Then i want to move on to a type 7, and maybe later i change my mind and want a type 9.
Where exactly do i "change" my sub?


Sorry for this Xtra noob question, but i havent played SH4 in quite a while!


Thanks!

SH4 is completely different from SH3 in that matter.
You can’t « buy » a sub type with your renown points.
All you can purchase is equipment when available...

When many very good patrols accomplished, game may propose you a new sub type of the latest built. Up to you to accept or decline.

Don’t ask me how many patrols or tonnage you need, because i don’t know

In real life, kaleuns often sailed the same baby from start to end, and very few of them changed types...except the best leaders sometimes.

What you can do is to start more than one career to test different U-Boat types, and see how long you can make on each type
Make sure to type the saves names very different though...

Hope that helps

Ah man. I must say thats rather dissapointing. I love to use a Type2 early war to pester those brits near their coasts, then move on to a T7 to bugger them on the western approaches, and sometimes switch to a T9 to plague the Americans


Oh well, i guess ill stick with a Type 7. I assume i do get an option to upgrade the specific class when they become available. Right? like from a 7b to a 7c, later to a XX!, etc.


Thanks for the information Fifi!

[Fifi]

I believe you should get the upgrade from a VIIB to a VIIC when time and enough points gathered ... but i confess i didn’t play career enough longer to see that, because i decided to enhance this nice mod first

When i will be done with those new subs importation, i may start a career and see how it handles. That was Lurker’s job you know, i’m Really not familiar with what was done.

Maybe someone else could answer you better than me

Thanks Fifi!

Actually we (with Propbeanie & s7rikeback) have problems to insert the IID2 correctly in career mode (the type IID with wintergarden)
So if we can’t before Thursday, i’ll Release Update 3 as it is for the moment.
Hoping you will not bother...

Hi Guys
If you have chosen "American Career" and accept the starting date then your boat will be a type II.
I selected Fredrich Schultz as my Captain.
If August is selected which is the default start date then you will have a type II.
Advancing the starting date to the next option will open up a larger range of boats you can choose from.
I started in September rather than August and from the selection showing chose a type IX.
Whether the Captains name has any bearing on these choices I cannot say.

Take your time😃

Nice your adding the type IXA

[Kieldk]

Allright,
I guess i just have too find out then😅👍

[Niume]

So how is the progress?

[Fifi]

Steady

Still few things i can’t fix right now, nothing big just details, but i’ll Release tomorrow. I will tell what need to be addressed...

[Fifi]

Last minute problem with a stupid snorkel mask...i have to do one more hull i didn’t think of (IXA)

I will release as soon as the hull is done so the snorkels masks fit perfectly.
Probably later today evening, sorry for that

[Templar]

No worries Fifi, take your time.

[Kieldk]

I did NOT install correct,
Now it loads fine


But ive found a bug




When diving or surfacing in the type 7 uboat
The camera does NOT show the correct position of the subs Angle / Trim

When i surface the camera tilts to the right side of the uboat almost if the uboat is falling too the right , instead the bow of the sub should rise , and that is what the camera should do inside the sub too when your rising

[propbeanie]

Those are some of the little details that have to be ironed-out (fixed). As you go through your boats, make notes, and then let Fifi know in this thread, so that he doesn't have to go through them all himself with a fine-toothed comb to find all the issues... thanks!
