How do I make these subs playable in US Campainge?

Sledgehammer427 · 01-28-10, 06:32 PM

Welcome to the forums!!

if you have RSRDC installed they should be ready to play in the campaign mode from the asiatic fleet.

TheBeast · 01-28-10, 08:39 PM

I have been playing SHIV since December 2009 and I am a total rookie. I just started playing with Manual Targeting and have about a 15% hit ratio, so I am still learning.
I have not tried RSRDC as yet. I don't even know what it is?

I am running Stock 1.5 with Webster's GFO and a few other fixes. Would RSRDC be compatible with that config?

Sledgehammer427 · 01-28-10, 08:58 PM

well, RSRDC is a total rewrite of SHIV's campaign layers.
it makes the patrol orders more realistic, as well as the battles (you won't find a task force with 4 yamato's in it, but it's in the name of history)

you will notice that I put that I used RFB+RSRDC compatible files, but I found out that the files I edited were RSRDC alone and I just used RFB as a test bed.

but one of the stickys at the top of this forum (with the bolted-in symbol) you will see a thread called "popular mods and technical help"
in there, you will find RSRDC
(Run Silent, Run Deep Campaign)

you should also be able to find a manual targeting tutorial in that thread if you wish to improve your skills. I just went to sub school and did the torpedo practice mission over and over again until I got it right. Just don't give up!

Anyway you can Mod in the Mk-48 (or maybe change the name to the appropriate Soviet homing torpedo) ADCAPs into this Mod? Hard using WW2 weaponry on early Cold-War Nucs

ETR3(SS) · 01-28-10, 09:25 PM

I sense a resurgence in the modern subs mods. Hell maybe I should work on these too since SH5 has gone the way of the san tank.

Krauter · 01-28-10, 09:44 PM

lol if there is a resurgence I will be addicted to SH4 even more ><

Hi, Im having the same problem as the one described below where the type 627A conning tower is not shown. Ive read this but it hasnt helped. Ive encountered two problems. The first is that when I open the Dat/Objects folder there are four files each for the two subs. Which of the four conning tower files do I open to adjust the 627A conning tower so it has one!? Also I dont have office on this PC so I need a programme that will open whichever file Im supposed to adjust and be able to edit it.

Many thanks in advance for advice. I love the 641 what a great model, thanks for putting it on here!

Question for you Sledge, bit off topic so sorry about that.

How are you handling combat in the Cold war mod? Just pretend it escalated and have firing like in normal SH or are you going to give out specific targets and such?

Sledgehammer427 · 08-22-10, 01:39 PM

@Torpex, There is a numerical conflict in your

Data\UPCData\UPCUnitsData file.

Go to that file in your Foxtrot+November mod folder, you should see a file named Unitparts11627A.upc or something close to that.
change it to
Unitparts31627A.upc. We figured out a while back that there will be disappearing towers if the unitparts conflict.
I can't remember EXACTLY how to fix it but I remember it was simply renumbering the file.

@Mescator, Lordy it's been so long since I worked on anything involving the Cold War Mod. I believe we all just kinda gave up because what we wanted the Cold War Mod to be was so far beyond the game's engine, we figured that everyone was having enough fun using modern subs to blow up japanese shipping we left it at that.

TorpexXIII · 08-22-10, 04:46 PM

Sledge,

Cheers buddy Ill try that fix. Ive just loaded the Russian boats 636 658 667 etc ect...all have no cons except one!!! Is there another list of downloadable US / British boats??

Thanks

(Just tried your suggestion...worked like a dream!!!! any ideas on the other Russian subs???)

TheBeast · 08-22-10, 06:56 PM

Silverwolf started on your Nautilus Sub Model and stopped(20000 Leagues Under The Sea). Any chance of completing this Model?

Would be cool to be part of a new country that is hostile with all Warships and Armed Cargo or Cargo carrying War Supplies.

I've been trying to complete it but I can not get the Uzo or Periscopes working. In the Conning Tower View the periscopes keep going up-down like animations are in a loop.

TorpexXIII · 08-23-10, 03:07 AM

The Beast,

I had that on one of my downloaded Russian subs. The problem occured when the conning tower failed to be displayed. Perhaps Sledge's cure below?

Sledge or anyone,

Any ideas on my Russian subs problem below?

TheBeast · 08-23-10, 05:02 PM

I will try renaming the UPCUnitsData UPC file to see if that fixes it.

TorpexXIII · 08-24-10, 02:46 PM

Ive just renamed all my UPC data files in consecutive numbers for the all my subs starting 11 then 21 31 41 etc. This gave me all the conning towers back.

Thanks everyone for help.

Is there a big list for American / British and other subs to download??
