[REL] Playable S-Boot ( Final )

[Sledgehammer427]

Hey Mikhayl, my new HD is on its way and I'm setting up a pair of installs for SH3, one for your FULL S-boot Mod, and one for a regular SH3 install...what mods should I have activated for the full schnellboot game? other than the actual mod...of course

[Sledgehammer427]

what would it take to make Community units work?

and I can replace the lite in this list with the full version I'm guessing

[Sledgehammer427]

but ihad the full version work...i think it was 0.7 version...but i think I did something and BOOM (love that expression) CTD...

in other versions, all i did was start up, and it would CTD halfway thru...thats why i'm making a schnellboot install seperate

Excellent work on this S-Boat mod... only problem is with some of the single missions... can't seem to get them to work and they start on the surface? But other than that... the S-Boat is a blast. Thank's for all of this work you have put into this mod.

New S-Booter here. Just running on GWX2.1 and your mod.
My SH3 1.4 was delivered with no manual so Ya'll can imagine me trying to sort out the TBD / UZO thing after coming over from SH4. It doesn't look to good for an Elco PT boat mod or driver. The 37mm stern gun is pretty brutal on that boat. Then again the 2 x 40mms of a PTGB wouldn't be so kind to my ride either.

Mikhayl... Thank's for the reply... the mission problem could be just a glich on my side.

But have to say also... I'm very much looking forward to your SHIV Lürssen shipyard release.

Again... Thank's for all of this work.

Charlielima... this may help get you started.

Thanks WD. I went back and looked at the disk and found the manual there. Not only is it a trip because SH-3 controls are similar to SH-4 controls enough to play but also close enough to really mess one up. Setting up for a torpedo attack at 30 knots is way different then 3 knots. CL

Good to hear you've straighten things out.

Is the sound just poping up randomly or when you order the men on the flakguns ? if the latter, try to not use the order but just use the icons on the crew management screen. I never used that integrated order until a few days ago with my u-boot so maybe the bug has always been there :hmm:

Hi Sledge, cool news For the mod my recommended list would be the one I posted for LK just a few posts above, then I suppose many mods could be added but I can't think of many mods that would be useful for a s-boot. Soundmods, crew textures, GUI mods, radio messages, most mods are aimed at the u-boot campaign. Chris made some cool sounds, I don't remember if I included them in the last version but anyway you can download them from the first post, I like the "idle engine" sound btw
Then you can always install new ships, if you can get "community units" to work fine you'll have plenty of different targets and never enough torpedoes

Mikhayl,
it starts always when you give the WO any order. It also takes place if you use any icons for example "fire" or "holding fire". For that reason, there is no way to use the FLAK.

Ciao, Chris

Mikhayl,

one more question please:

I tryed several torpedo skins with Schnellboot mod and installed them with JSGME. In the equipment screen in harbor i can see them, but only on the main (bigger) torpedo in the middle of the screen. The little torpedo skins above (nto the Schnellboot tubes) are always the old ones. It is the same ingame.

If i install these skins without Schnellboot mod everything is ok.

Can you help.
THX, Chris

hmmm, maybe I have found the root of my prroblems...
well, it still is CTDing, but i gotta reinstall anyways, i think its the Racerboy SH4 effects...maybeprolynot...maybe your mod hates me?
I dunno, i will retry later

EDIT: okay its later...and nothing at all is working...it all feels futile really...
this is the third time tonight i have deleted and reinstalled EVERYTHING and i'm still CTD'ing...even with the mod setup you are using. its not working. Are you using SH3 Commander? thats the only thing left at this point

EDIT Deuxkay its working, but now, it reaches the last centimeter of loading and it hangs there for a few minutes then CTDs...I am using the same exact (down to the letter) mod setup, and i was using Thomsen's water, i am removing that and just using the flat sun fix...i have a hunch that the game loads the graphics last, o its a good place to start I assume

[Sledgehammer427]

yup, I fixed it, it WAS the flat sun fix....because its running fine now...
ill deal with m sun being a golfbal in the sky

(finally)GREAT JOB! I LOVE IT!:rotfl:
Sledgehammer427
so what was all the cool stuff you gave up to make it work anyways?

Cheers

Hi Mikhayl,

you are perfectly right! Thank you very much.

[Sledgehammer427]

I believe SH3C makes it unstable, because it was working fine last night, then, I tried using it, and it CTDed
EDIT: actually, come to think of it, i think this IS the most unstable thing i have ever run, right now, i think i would feel comfortable handling liquid Nitroglycerin lmfao

now on reinstall number....i think its 15...my PC hates me at this point methinks

buuut i shall prevail!
