Early Type XXI mod for OM
If anyone's interested, I've made an "Early Type XXI" mod that's workable with Lurker's Operation Monsun mod. This is my first mod & my first attempt at uploading a file for other people to use, so any advice would be gratefully received.
The file can be found here: http://www.filefront.com/17279490/Early XXI OM.zip |

Let us know if it looks permanently fixed. BTW I also have an ATI card, so maybe there's something that the card or driver doesn't like about those pens. Could be an ATI CCC setting too that causes the CTD with the pens installed but I've been too lazy to check. Edit: Take it easy on tater bro, the guy's got 7k+ posts and is one of the most respected Subsim members, he was just trying to help :-)

Sure, after more tests I will post an update here to let others now if the fix is permanent. Quote:

Good to hear you got it fixed! Just safe to always double-check starting with the last and least common mod
I still recommend getting RSRDC out of the equation just for safety, since you won't need it while playing the OM campaigns anyway, but other than that sounds like you're set. |

OM 720 Merchant List
For those who are interested, I've produced a MS Word document listing all the merchant ships in OM version 720 & giving their tonnage & draft. I find this handy for (a) torpedo depth settings & (b) choosing which target to go for in a convoy.

Hatch wont open! HELP!
I am playing my first OM career in a Type IIB out of Kiel in Sept 39 and all was going great until the last time I surfaced.... my crew doesn't come to the bridge.... and CO2 continues to build. I can go to the bridge and use the UZO.... the diesels are running and charging the batteries but my crew is sufficating below in CO2. I have tried several submerge and resurface but can't get the air level back up.... the CO2 warning stays and I think my crew has fallen asleep below......
Any ideas if I can fix this or do I need to end this career??? |

Nevermind!
Honestly I did a search on CO2 in this thread and the search engine came back empty..... Anyway.. I just found some posts while browsing this thread that talk about this bug in the stock game ... I will try exiting to main menu and loading the game back in to save the crew! Sorry for the redundant post! |

Bravo to the mod team! |

Neutrals in convoys
A suggestion for the next version of OM: remove neutral ships from Allied convoys & replace them with Allied-flagged ships. Any such ship was open to attack by U-boats - something that neutral countries had been warned about. Therefore, players should not be penalised for sinking a neutral ship in an Allied convoy.

As Sailor Steve wrote: No neutrals.
A long standing in-game bug means ships set to neutral don't behave in the same way as in SH3, IIRC, they don't react to you when you sink some of their ships. Lurker and the Battle for the Baltic guys had to set the nominally neutral countries to hostile to get them to attack you if you attack them. Something along those lines anyways.... Mike.

First I'd just like to say this mod is really doing it for me! I've been splashing about for a couple of weeks now, and I've managed to survive until July 1940 with a more than 200K in Davy Jones Locker-bounced a couple torps off the Glorious off Norway to boot.
I've got a quick question about the modelling of a: the Battle of Britain and b: the cruiser patrols aimed at intercepting the German surface raiders in the Iceland / Faroes / N. Scotland areas in the latest version. Apart from the oportunities for eye candy such as waves of bombers on their way to Hornchurch et al, I was thinking about the effect of swarms of Me109s on Cosatal Command's pesky planes and the same swarms making it easier for Unkle Karl's Dorniers surviving longer. Sorry, although I greatly appreciate the work of modders I'm a clown who has trouble accessing the code and working this stuff out for myself. I've seen a bit of Kanalkampf, with some Ju88s fighting over my merchant, and the spotter planes seem to be surviving a bit longer now its July 1940. Are these examples just the product of my wishful thinking? I've also been trawling off the NW of Scotland, looking for the RN cruisers and destroyers on patrol to intercept or at least spot the the Kreigmarine's surface units sallying out. As I recall a slab of cruisers were constantly searching and being a renown pig I was looking to pop a few off. Have these factors been considered? Just wondering..... One other thing I've noticed is the Swedish ships are classed as enemy ships. I've read the info about how neutrals have been reclassified but it seems a little strange for me to be getting full points and even medals for sinking Swedish iron ore cargos destined for Krupp factories in the Ruhr. I also noticed that other nations that were trading with the Reich such as Spain have their harbours full of green ships-maybe Swedish flagged ships could be reclassified in the same way. It will give me an incentive to get out of the Baltic chokepoints and into the Western Approaches Thanks in advance and keep the updates coming!
