Random, more contacts mod

Nicolas · 07-21-07, 01:04 AM

Hello Hartmann:
I dont know, but some task forces have around 20% chance, and 7200 minutes.

Maybe this can help: Think what you want. For example if you want more convoy contacts, put 50% of the convoys, with probabilities between 20 and 60, and 300 to 1200 minutes. With luck a couple more convoys will appear.
Try modest values with care first to not waste time playing, then adjust the values until you find good numbers.
Two important things:
Restore to the original every time you want to run the tool.
Run the tool again with your favorites numbers (restoring first) from time to
time to keep the contacts dinamic.

Nicolas,

Again, thank you for this nice tool. Are you working on any upgrades, such as adding subs to simulate wolfpacks, adding or subtracting air cover, air attacks, destroyer patrols, etc? I know this can be done (but I don't have the foggiest idea how).

Well, no, im not working, but i would like to see subs.

1) I read in a thread, i dont remember which one, that you can place a sub like a member of an enemy convoy, and when the convoy 'is loaded in the memory' the sub start attack, but, the spacing beetwen the sub and the convoy is nothing. When you see the convoy its too late, i dont know how to make a space beetwen the convoy and the sub.
In theory, i think one way to do it is placing a 'sub convoy' with the same data as the true convoy but spaced a little (10-20 km ahead for example), then when the 2 convoys are loaded in memory the subs start attacking, but i dont know if the game can load 2 convoys or only one at the same time... and if the subs will 'see the convoy' and attack.
So,
To test i need to know:
- How i name a sub in the file?***
- Anyone knows if the game can load two convoys at the same time or a convoy and a single ship?*** i dont remember.

2) Placing subs in the patrols file. I have no knowledge if the game accept that. But to test is simple, just replace all destroyers with subs and 100% report prob. then go gibraltar or something to see subs instead dd's. :hmm:
If is possible to add subs to the patrol file, i think you can place them near the convoys. But the subs will attack?, if yes when?
To answer those questions i need to know:
- How i name a sub in the file?***

If i can place a sub... I believe wolfpacks are possible!

If you or someone knows those*** things, tell me and i begin testings

.

God bless.
