Longer U-boat Repair Times mod ready for download

Gentlemen,

obviously at times it can be difficult to make every mod compatible with everything else. This is further complicated by the fact that most SH3 users prefer a fairly personalised set-up. For example, I consider the more realistic sinking times provided by the NYGM mod vital, but could not care less about the tonnage war part as I only use the campaign system to create missions, and am not particularly bothered about promotion etc, and find the stock renown ok. As a result I use the pre-tonnage war version of NYGM in my setup.

Now I hit a problem, as I consider the new damage/repair times mod equally vital, but the files do not correspond with my old NYGM equivalents. Solution: download 'winmerge', a superb utility that lets you compare any two files side-by-side, identifies differences, and enables you to copy those changes from one file to the other. At the same time it makes a backup copy of the original file.

The changes made to the config files by the repair mod seem pretty obvious to me, so anyone wishing to introduce it to an existing mod can do so with winmerge in about five minutes. Change the files, stick them in a jones mod folder, and away you go with complete reversibility if required.
