[REL] Submarine Gun Tweak Files

**Released!**

Submarine Gun Tweak Files

I created these Tweak Files from scratch for use with Time Traveller's Mini Tweaker program. The following things can be modded with these files:


Submarine Deck Guns:

-Shell storage amounts for HE, AP, AA, and SS

-Shell speed, clip size, reload times, maximum shell range, shell angle, shell travel tolerance (gravity), and shell elevation tolerance (gravity)

-Gun barrel min-max elevations plus elevation speed, min-max traverse plus traverse speed, recoil time and distance

*Special thanks to Schlageter-JG26 for doing some great detective work.
I hope everyone can find these files useful and create some great mods with them.

Does this fix the range being displayed in meters when you have selected imperial measurements in teh options?

And does it fix the sideways viewing angle and upside-down effect on the 5 inch 25 deck gun?

I don't think these files can adjust any camera settings. Those settings are probably in the cameras.dat file.

Thank you sir for all your good work.

I have been playing around with the values of the 20mm single and twin and the changes are not showing up ingame ..... is there any other file that needs to be modded to add ammo to these ?

The extra ammo does work for the deck guns ....... in the mean while going to change some values in the .upc's for the 20mm's and see what happens

[Redwine]

Many thanks !!!

But link is broken, or the corect files is SH4_Modding_Tools_and_Utie.zip ?

I am directed to this file....

Excellent, thank you. I had been trying to change out my AP for HE for some time now.

Modding extra ammo into the game does work. I tested it before releasing these tweak files.

A few modding secrets when using Mini Tweaker with SH4:

Mini Tweaker default directory is set default for SH3 folders, not SH4. If you don't have SH3 installed, make some fake folder directories like this (for these specific tweak files):

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Library\USSubPa rts (I don't know why a space is showing here in the last word.. sorry)

Ok, now that you have created all of those empty folder directories, copy and paste the correct files you will be modding from SH4 into this SH3 directory.. .which would be:

20mm_Oerlikon_Single.sim
20mm_Oerlikon_Twin.sim
Deck_Gun_3_50.sim
Deck_Gun_4_50.sim
Deck_Gun_5_25.sim
Deck_Gun_12mm_Browning.sim
Deck_Gun_40mm_Single.sim
Deck_Gun_40mm_Twin.sim

Now this is important.. after modding these files with Mini Tweaker, copy and paste the new, changed files from your SH3 Library\USSubParts directory back into your SH4 Library\USSubParts directory. But NEVER leave backup files in your SH4 Library folder. If you do, then the new, modded file will not be recognized by the game, and the changes won't show. I don't know why. That's just the way it is. The reason we have to do it this way is because Mini Tweaker was designed for modding SH3. I hope this helps you understand the way Mini Tweaker works for SH4. If you have any other questions or problems, just ask.

Yep it was the backup files that mini tweaker makes causing the trouble .... had been switching it to the SH4 folder and doing the mods there.

Weird that the deck guns and the 40mm's worked with the backup copies in the folder but not the 20's.

Its funny but the last time I visited the USS Drum one of the WWII crew members was there talking to folks and said they used to weigh the boat down like a lead brick with extra ammo for all the guns.

Thanks Again

[Strikor]

The reason the 20mm guns didn't work is because they're loaded in alphabetical order. The file names start with 2 so they get replaced with the backups which start with C, while the 40mm guns are under deck_gun.

[Kaolla]

As far as I can tell, NV's tweak files keep disappearing.

A wizard did it.

[Lorgar]

Nice file thankyou very much

If you feel like pound the crap out of things change the deck gun clip sze to 100 hehe

Damn hard to aim but you can take out almost anything lol

Can you make it point and click please? This is doable but my brain hurts from reading it.

Wow...could not get that stuff to work. Where is the mini tweaker thing?

EDIT: Ok I point the Mini Tweaker to [ LOCATE ALTERNATE GAME FOLDER ] C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Library\USSubParts then load the file 20mm_Oerlikon_Twin.sim and the error code the Mini Tweaker coems up with is;

Unable to proceed

Path= file does not exist

I also tried moving the tweak text files into the above folder location, no dice.

Any suggestions?

[Strikor]

Just have it point to C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\ and it will work fine. It handles the rest of the folders automatically
