Also, even the smallest error in the menu_1064_768 file will screw up the game.

Ok this is a copy of the errors info report:


Report error


szAppName : sh3.exe szAppVer : 1.4.0.1 szModName : hungapp
szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00000000


Included in the error report

C:\DOCUME~1\Joao\CONFIG~1\Temp\WER7cf3.dir00\sh3.e xe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Joao\CONFIG~1\Temp\WER7cf3.dir00\appco mpat.txt

I will try out that you say from the Movie but , as for the Ini file errors , don't see that possibility since i'm using the ini file provided with the MOD.

Maybe i'm dense but....
I would really get rid of the stopwatch and return back to the old rudder command.
I've tryed to see if i can using the documentation but i really don't understand what i have to do.

Plus another Q:Im not sure because lately my audio card is acting strangely(But now it seems to work )
The question is:Are the Explosion sound delayed in some way?Because i see the explosion and i hear the sound a bit after.
It's that a mod?I seems to remember a small mod that do the same thing.I would like to return to the old sound.

Now it time for congratulations...your mod is really impressive.Even the documentation is impressive(Too impressive...my head hurt)

Ah...i love the new crash dive sequence

it´s caused by some modded soundfiles in the "sound" folder of NYGM
All sounds there starting with Pnn, exept for P09_$Gun_muzzle_flash.WAV
(your Deckgunsound, sounds great but more like an antitank gun...i use it btw)
are slightly delayed. Replace with them with the stock game sound, if you don´t like them.

Gammel,like i've said i'm dense.
English is not my language and maybe i don't understand you well...

You mean there is a sound file that delay torpedo and explosion or that i need to replace the file with the original?(And that means a new reinstall for me )

What about the gauge?Can someone give me some hint?

I have a modded the menu_1024_768.ini file that puts the rudder controls back in place of the stop watch. Haven't tested it yet but I can e-mail it to you or load it to Rapid-share if you want to try it.

sorry for my bad english, it isn´t my native language, too.
About the sound files you´re right; you´ll have to replace them with the originals or some sounds of your choice.
About that reinstall stuff...it´s a good idea to install the game, patch it to 1.4b and then make a backup copy of the whole SH3 folder. I just deleted my game folder, btw, but since i have a backup copy of the game folder i can easily go back. no need to reinstall and repatch. Also very handy if you want to replace single files with the stock ones.

If you don´t want to reinstall i could upload the soundfiles at rapidshare for you...

[Axlwolf]

Thanks Samwolf!
Maybe you can just copy and paste here the line you've changed without sending file around.

Gammel,you don' have an idea of all the problem the other PC gave to me...
I've reinstalled and uninstalled every game,program and driver at least four time...
Simply...doing a backup was the last thing im my poor,sleepless mind...
And then today everythyng work smooth...

I was really thinking to breack the damn thing in small piece

It's more than one line ( you have to replace a section of code and renumber the entries after it) and there are also changes to the dials.cfg file.

@Axlwolf

uploading soundfiles now...

[Axlwolf]

Thanks samwolf,but i have to configure outlook on the other PC
It's better if you do a rapidshare file (I hope it's not a problem for you)
Maybe someone else other than me could find that file useful.

GAMMEL you're a life-saver
Many thanks

Sorry everyone for all the problem i'm making

Let me know if this works out for you. I'm waiting to finish a patrol before enabling the NYGM mod.

I would also strongly recommend reading the 9 pages in this thread here http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=47519

Doenitz calculated that in 1942 from January to June,
40% of ships sunk with 1 torpedo
38% of ships sunk required two or more torpedoes
22% of ships hit with 1 to 4 torpedoes escaped

I am not saying that the NYGM Ship Damage Mod is perfect, it is however, considering everything, dam good. Again, until you have read the NYGM Ship Damage Mod Read Me you will not get the best out of this Mod.

I can sink a small/coastal merchant with 1 torpedo, sometimes I need 2. I have often sank a medium cargo with 1 torpedo.

This was part of my WaW patrol tonight...
2 ships sighted. Liberty and Medium cargo
Submerged for attack
Ships identified as a Liberty and Victory Ship
Estimated speed 6 knots
10.32 2 torpedoes at liberty - 2 hits
10.35 2 torpedoes at Victory - 1 hit
10.49 1 torpedo at Victory - 10.51 - 1 hit
10.52 Victory ship torpedo hit in bow and stern
10.52 liberty ship heaverly down by bow
11.12 1 torpedo at Victory - 11.14 - 1 hit
11.40 1 torpedo at liberty - 11.42 - 1 hit
12.44 distant explosions heard - no sighting of liberty ship
13.34 1 torpedo at Victory ship - 13.34 - 1 hit - ships destructs

OK Ted, I'll read the manual more closely tonight. However, I still think that maybe the team have gone a little overboard on the ability of the boats to resist damage and I do think that it would make an attack on a convoy with a salvo rather useless, if more than one hit is required for the majority of boats.

Likewise, I am still dubious that ANY ship of 3000 tons would be able to take two torps in vunerable positions fore and aft and 100+ rounds from a deck gun. :hmm:

I'll keep going with the mod anyway and see if these were freak occurances. I don't mean to dis your mod, I do like it. So please don't take this as a nasty post.

Tony

[Axlwolf]

The game load after the following warning window appear:
Menu ID not found: 0x3f40000l
I Alt+Tab out of the game to close the window and then return in-game...the game load...
I load the test mission:Get the same error:Same procedure(Alt+Tab,close window,return to game)
The dial show but it doesnt work.I can't give it any command.
But now i can do some cross-check to see if i'm able to mod my old file
Thanks anyway

Just a thought I've done this a zillion times
my procedure is:
Rollback Commander
Complete uninstall SH3
delete SH3 folder
Reboot
Re-install
I did this last night and worked as advertized right away.

Sometimes it's the simplest, stupidest things that throw the game sideways
