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

Thanks for the feed back, I'll look into it and see what I missed. Sounds like one of the FBAC changes.

So far I'm very impressed with the Mod I've been waiting for this for a very long time, its like christmas for me, and I know beggers can't be choosers but I have but one concern with it as I miss the gods eye mode I believe it is called, where you can see your contacts on the map once you have established there wherabouts this is the only realistic part I don't mind compromising because as I see it there is so much that I have to take care of the Nav officer can take care of contact positions for me which in itself would be realistic I suppose.

My question, is there a file that I can Modify myself to get the map contacts (gods eye) back into game play.

Otherwise Excellent Work!!!

HEMISENT · 03-09-06, 01:36 PM

I just re enabled the God's Eye View mod to see what happens and it works great-you should still be able to find it.

Hello,
I`ve encountered an error with NYGM2.2
I `ve started new campaign, loaded it via SH3 Commander using all the files designed to be used with the mod. My objective was to test the XXI with NYGM and there appears to be a problem.
The batteries are recharging endlessly. In a mission batteries have dropped to about 65-70% and it took over 24 hours to recharge to some 95% and was continuing.
My guess it might be some casual bug, but... that`s just WEIRD. It looks that once used, the batteries cannot reach 100% again no matter how long recharged. And they recharge really, really SLOWLY.

Apart from that everything seems to be OK.
PS I`m using NYGM, enhanced plotting, 6 dials for NYGM and IXD2 skin mods. SH3 is loaded via SH3 Cmdr with rollbacks just in case.

The XXI doesn't work in NYGM!
They took apart some game and "code" mechanics from the XXI to implement them in th rest of the other Boots in-game! The NYGM XXI is broken!

It's also stated in the NYGM Manual!

It's simply not meant to be!

PS.

Oh and update NYGM with the latest "2.4 upade"

XXi · 02-12-07, 09:38 PM

Oh I see. Thank you Myxale.

Forgot about this one, probably because I haven`t been playing with this type so far.

Well, technically speaking it`s not that bad. The boat works well yet it needs more specialists than usual - with full asset of mechanics and torpedo mates ( doable with SH3 Cmdr only, to be honest ) everything`s OK.
Except the batteries.
Neverthless, I`ve just dlded 2.4 update. See if it changes anything.

So far - I had one GREAT convoy battle. Managed to get a passenger liner, troop transporter and a C2 tanker and got out unscratched after 3hrs chase. Seems I was lucky anyway as only 3-4 escorts got a contact with me. All other could not find me or got deluded with Tauschkoerper.
Just for such expierience I wish XXI worked well.

EDIT: Checked with 2.4 The same. It took at least 24hrs to load batteries from 75% to 95-8%.
Now that`s a pity. What should I do then to solve the problem ? I guess that a non-NYGM battery fix will affect the rest of the boat, right ? And if so, what should I do...

Myxale · 02-13-07, 05:44 AM

Sorry mate! The update won't change anything with the XXI.
It's just this; as long NYGM uses this kind of approach to mod the other subs, the XXI will remain "Bitchy"

I can live with that, since i'm a totall fan of the Type IID and IXB.

Besides the Update has some cool changes...like some planes in late war that don't use the radar, so that your radar warnings don't light up.

Had a few close calls since then! :hmm:
Damn cool stuff!

Cheers

JCWolf · 03-09-06, 04:33 PM

Hello guys, it's me again....

Whell, this is mi report, after 2 long days of instaling and uninstaling , the SHIII and the Mod.... :hmm:

Now finaly made the game launching and until that great the normal stuff, no problems, it sims that your mod intro file creats some kind of bug and doesn't let the game starts, do no why but after pasting the old original intro file everything whent as normal and the game started...

Untill that ok, but the problem or mi lack of nolidge maybe, started when i tested the game in one of the single missions, just to check on the graphics and on the mod itself....

now, a cople of things just called mi imediate atention,... :hmm:

First of all, i had no console, you know the one that haves the ingame time and hour and the time comprestion gizmo....

Second the so called slide out interfaces and gauges that you mention on your manual, doesn't exist at all, none off them....

the repair department it's somehow reduced to the 4 man capacity , this means that i can not add anymore than 4 man to fix possible subs damage, but thought i now that is one off the parts that you've moded, so i'm just asking if this is ok?

Last i whould like to know if i can now make mi one choices and instal the diferent mods that i'm missing ther , like :

- Dragable Chronometer in ALL screens

-Bordinstrumente FABC slideout

-6 Dials- Simfeeling Mod.

-slide out console

Among some others litlle but usefull and cool detailles???

Or if by any mistake of mine this isn't working how can i fix this???

Thanks guys and sorry about all the troubles i'm causeing with mi ignorance!

I've tryed to see if i can using the documentation but i really don't understand what i have to do.

I'll get Observer to do a non-stop watch version and get it posted up.

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.

This the 'Speed of Sound' mod by Average Joe. This mod does take some getting used too. I feel that it is probably a fraction out in that the sound is too slow.

These are the files that it replaces data\Sound\
Depth charges exploding from submarine.wav
P05_@Depthcharge_explosion.wav
P06_#Splinter_explosion.wav
P09_$Gun_muzzle_flash.WAV
P10_#Shell_fire_explosion.wav
P11_@ref_torp_great_explosion.wav
P16_#oil_explosion.wav

I have uploaded the default SHIII files to File Front DOWNLOAD LINK - ALL Versions & Terrain Add-In

Great to gear

Axlwolf · 03-09-06, 05:17 PM

Thanks,almost all my issues are resolved

I'll wait the new file for my rudder...for now i will do some training,mainly crash dive....
I love crash diving

EDIT:I just noted i've reached the 100 post...for me it's a record:In almost 8 year on the net and in various forum,this is my longest period in a forum (My average count usually it's about 10 post...then i disappear)

I must celebrate...what i can do? :hmm:
Right!
! ! ! ALARM ! ! !

It took a bit of careful menu_1024_768.ini editing, but I have nygm with the dragable chrono, 6 dials-simfeeling, and slide out console. It took under 20 minutes. So it's very doable.

Make backups of your menu_1024_768.ini.

Der Teddy Bar · 03-09-06, 05:48 PM

jcwolf,
Let me start by saying that the NYGM Tonnage War Mod works, and it works without issue. So your issue will be one of the ones below.

BTW, yellow is impossible to read....

The issues encounted by users have revolved around...
1. Roll back issues from Mod Installers
2. Mod installer issues
3. Mod cross overs

The issue with the Mod installers is more likely an issue of Mod cross overs that becomes so numerous that it just gets to a point that you have to roll back 1/2 the installed mods or do a clean install.

Some people have had an issue when not using the latest Mod Installer.

I would suggest that you may need to take drastic action and re-install, patch to 1.4b, add NYGM Tonnage War Mod, check that it works, copy the directory to somewhere else, then add the additional mods...

HEMISENT · 03-09-06, 06:08 PM

Tedy.
Mod is up and running perfectly as advertized. I realize that you're inundated with questions so feel free to ignore this if you want.
I'm doing some testing for a mod involving random sabotage and out of frustration I rammed a merchant at full speed. The usual loud crashing noises occurred but my VIIC sustained no damage whatsoever.
Did you incorporate Gouldjg's Advanced Hollywood Mod as is or was the boat toughened up? Just curious as I've done this before with predictable results.

Anyway, Thanks again for a great Mod.

Observer added the Hollywood Mod, is the 'Advanced' version different?

malcymalc · 03-09-06, 06:21 PM

Okay this may seem like a remarkably dumb question but what visible indicators are there that I have installed the Mod correctly?

I rolled back SHIII Cmdr, uninstalled SHIII and all the mods I had loaded, reinstalled SHIII +1.4b, added NYGM Full plus the terrain package via JSGME and.... I see what looks like plain vanilla SHIII. No Bordinstrumente, no Kiel Canal.

This, I guess, is indicative that something has gone awry - any suggestions?

Previously I had quite a few individual elements of NYGM plus RuB and Bordinstrumente and they worked fine, but I seem to be struggling to get this one to work...
