[REL] Fifi Enhancements for NYGM

[Fifi]

Fifi Enhancement NYGM is not available anymore … changed for NYGM Enhanced Hardcore.


Completely new version available in my signature. Readme pdf included for installation

I highly recommend to play this mod with no more than X256 time compression in day time, up to X1024 in night time for the starting years 1939/1942… and all time X256 for last years 1943/1945!

It is not an official megamod release, it is only my own game I have modded for myself… and I wished to share with the Subsim community
Beginners should pass the way because it’s Not for Your Grand Mother! (NYGM)







TIP FOR A GOOD CAREER START AND SAVE GAME LOADINGS:

As usual, choose name, flotilla, start date, sub number...and launch.



Make sure the starting year & flotilla correspond well before clicking start



Then DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING to your U Boat crew and equipment for first mission!! Not even emblem or torpedoes! Leave it stock and start your first mission like that.
(Only realism can be changed of course)



Leave harbor as usual, and once in high seas where nobody is around, save and exit game FROM NAV MAP (recommanded)



Back to your desktop, open Commander and try to update your personal file



It should open this window on your computer



If not (and even if yes!) go to your Documents/SH3/Data/Cfg/Careers/XXName and open your Patrol_0.Cfg
You should see the start dates hour & minutes there:



If not, open your Documents/SH3/Data/Cfg/Careers/XXName/Folder0/XX.Clg file, and you will find there the date hours minutes to past in your Patrol_0.Cfg (so your file has correct date hours minutes instead of nothing)

Then open your Documents/SH3/Data/Cfg/Careers/XXName and open your Careers_0.Cfg, and make sure the informations correspond to the Clg ones



To resume, you should see in Patrol_0 & Careers_0 files, your starting dates hours etc!

Once all this checked, you can launch your last save and keep going your first mission...it should be 100% fine for the rest of this career

should be the last one activated on JSGME picture above.
Year/month/day are not good?

Fifi,

Question; not sure if Single Merchant Contact mod was available as a single down load. I take it that it is just a copy the Config/Contacts file with the change made to it?

This was a discussion long ago with RUB 1.45 regarding having this reincluded ;

See this post by Steibler ;

He outlines how to change the parameters for contacts in the Config/Contacts file for those who did not want this included. It makes things all the more challenging.

Again, thank you for providing new life for my old favorite megamod.

Yes, you are right, should be:
Year=1938
Month=1
Day=1
Hour=12

This campaign file was coming from Harbor_Traffic of NYGM!

Guys, easy enough to change with note pad

That is how I see any single contacts in NYGM, no tails and just the contact time showing. As time goes on the contact item fades away. Don't have it as a separate mod though.

Fifi,

In the Submarine/NSS_Uboat7b.dat file you are missing the Officer_Cap_With_Badge_For_Aces_Super_Turms.tga file.





An easy fix.

Yes something went wrong in the patching process.
Have you followed the DGUI patch instructions to the letter?
