Hi Hoth,

The issue you are reporting has me puzzled.
I can think of nothing that could cause it.

But - there is something about the date that has me thinking.
01/01/1940 is the default date for all layers in the capaign.
This is also the start date for all timings in the campaign (timed triggers are all set from this date. i.e. event trigget time 0000010 means trigger that event 10 seconds after 01/01/40 00:00)

So this date is a very important date for the campaign

I will have a look through the missions/obejtives and see if I can spot anything.

I think it would be helpful to add this info, so as a baseline, for bug reporting.

Im going to try TDWUIs, FXupdate, and OHII plus patch to start. Is that good enough? Ill save the sound mods/ENV mods for after I see things working or not.

Hi Mobucks,

Yes - those should work well. I have been using those + Stormfly's sounds throughout.

Or follow a mod list like Sober's - that would be good

[mobucks]

I will be stress testing this full version on my setup now for possible CTDs caused by over demand of my system. Can I drive straight to Scapa Flow from the first campaign? I recall someone saying the "prien" mission is possible before X date but afterwards the Scapa will be in full defence. If so, what area can you recommend I go to for stress testing? Perhaps I will just use Silentotto to be sure, by starting a new campaign later in the war. Will report my experience.

Scapa mission is all about being Prien. A legendary mission but with a major bug. The final release will solve the problem.

I planned that in the second when you hit the main target a major taskforce will join the scene and investigate the area. Of course, the trigger and events script is not working in SH5 :| Hail Ubi.

I am using OHII light version and during my first campaign on the Eastern British Coast assignment I was offered a new assignment "breaking the Fortress" , I take it this is the Scapa mission you are reffering to ?

I sneaked in , late evening with cover of fog and literaly stumbled across a large warship which I could just make out through the fog.

I hit her with 3 torpedoes and high tailed it out again.
I was credited with sinking a Queen Elizabeth class Battleship of, I think, 31000 tons. I recieved a message from BDU congratulating me...followed immediately by another telling me to "be more aggressive"

Be more aggressive

2 BBs to be sank in one mission-isn't it realistic and historically prooved?
OHII is full of realism I quess Lets add USS Nimitz + a couple of "Mistral"-type HC to Scapa also

[mobucks]

These new toop transports named after members of the subsim community were floating/driving in their convoy with the stern completely submerged. I will say this only happened when i re-loaded a save game about 11km from these ships.

Zones.cfg used in this mod is wrong, just figured this out. If you guys know how to do it, use the zones.cfg from FW or BARF. The final release of OH2 will not have this file.

Sorry vlad29 that I cant laugh with you, Im missing your point.

[mobucks]

If you use FX, you must use that Zones.cfg, otherwise all the cool new features of FX will not show in your game.

Erk! How do we do that? EDIT: No worries, mobucks says how in this thread:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=186253

Copy the zones.cfg from the FXUpdate mod, create a new folder for it with the rest of your mods and enable with JSGME. I called mine 'FX Update Zones OHII Fix' so I remember to remove it when the final version is released

I think Vlad is questioning whether sinking two battleships at Scapa is historically realistic/accurate, and if the rest of the campaign is of a similar realism. Hope that helps

Then he need to read more about what Prien did at Scapa and how. There is a whole website about this incident where you can read about every second of his historical raid. Also, booth BB's location in this mission is historical accurate. After october 39 Scapa gets sealed.

[mobucks]

NEAT, i will look up this website, Uboat.net perhaps?
