[REL] Water Stream for Uboats!(Updated:April 9, 2008)

[Rubini]

Hi mates,

Expect the first Type IXd2 beta (only the new water stream) for tomorrow afternoon. I finished all two sides an hour ago (44 holes with water stream - a lot of manual work), all is working as intend. Your feedback will be very important to me, to really continues the mod or not (if we really like it or not). Any comments will be welcome as always.

Now about the next uboat...humm...Sailor Steve is our guru and the most aged here ( ) - or am I wrong? So, the type II will be the next. Sailor Steve, what type II are you running? A or D?

Well, I'm honored that you think that way, but I was just joking. I'm not really playing myself right now, just testing new mods to see what I like and spending most of my time collecting ship names for SH3 Commander.

I think the Type VIIc is far and away the most used boat, and probably deserves first consideration.

SH3 Commander gives names to ships you sink, including merchants. To add names, look in the Program Files/SH3 Commander/Cfg folder and you'll see the 'Ship Names' file. There are many different lists, such as Liberty and Victory ships, and all the game's warship classes, but the biggest list is the first one 'GenericMerchantsAndTankers'. It already has almost 4000 names on it. To add your own go to the bottom of the list and add them. With that many names already, though, don't expect them to come up much on the names of ships you sink

What I'm doing is a big research project, the goal of which is to classify every single merchant according to type and size, and do away with the 'Generic' list altogether. It's taking time, but I have recieved help and encouragement from different people, and it's coming along nicely.

I have a site that lists every merchantman that was lost in WWII (def every British, not 100% sure of other nations) in datal order and includes: Date, Name, Type, Gross Tons, Cause of loss, How Lost and remarks.

Merchant vessels 29,180
Fishing vessels 814

Total vessels lost 29,994

Ok! Type ViiC/B users are fortunate then!

Now that you made all the hard work on the IXD2, to make it on the VII uboats are way easier, right? Just a copy/paste job and check if the leaks are in the right position?

Exactly! (mainly the manual adjustment to mach the holes). Anyway after we degust the first Type IXd2 and after the feedbacks, I wish to add RB exaust and some others minor tweaks to the files. Then the mod will be finished. A lot of work indeed.

Will the added files such as the exhaust mod be optional for those who don't consider them realistic

Out of curiosity, why would you consider diesel exhaust to be unrealistic?
