I did not even attempt to get the DCs working since in the stock game there is nothing to Drop them on. That would require a rewrite of the campaign files which at this time, I do not have time to do. Technically when the ship is playable it is no longer a ship it is a sub. So no DCs. And there are no submerged subs in the stock game.

This ship has not been tested in multiplayer but it has been tested in Career mode and should work, so there is a mistake somewhere.

@audessy

If you could send me your Flotillas.upc and CareerStart.upc, I can take a look and see if there is a mistake, and return them to you.

believe me in totally understand lol. no subs worth dropping dc on. ive been toying with this idea so in the future we can play multiplayer versus. then you will have a sub worth dropping on and hunting . good stuff peabody thanks for the hard work. and if we get dcs working ill let ya know.

Well hang on a sec... I was able to do these missions in battleships. The boat would collide and make all sorts of noise but it still worked. Why would this be? Is it because the other ships weren't based on a sub? I'm confused.

All the surface ships are based on subs. It is just when you brought it up, I remember a problem with supply missions, but don't remember the details of the problem. I will check it to see if I can find what it was and fix it. After thinking a while, I am going to check, it may be the men for the launched boat.

But the main concern now is the problem with you not being able to do a patrol. That is why I asked about your files. It may be there or it may be in the files I uploaded. I didn't have a problem when I tried it in career, I just would like to see what your files are to compare them.

There are my Career Start and Singapore Flotilla, they look the same as yours, unless I missed something....and here is my Asashio in Singapore harbor.




So, either I am not seeing the mistake, or there is something else wrong with it. Did you make sure you copied the new files to the MOD folder. (I assume you are doing this in a different location). Any other MODs that may conflict?
Check the files again for a mistake, if you can't find it, I can post these for you. I will probably try to find the problem with supply missions and then post a new update and include the Campaign files.

I'm running stock SH4 with a zones.cfg file on top of the Asashio DD.

Hmm... At ease sir. I'll figure it out eventually. I was hoping I made a simple mistake. That isn't the case.

If it works in Penang and not the others I would suspect the two files you are looking at. If you have a place to post them, send them if you would like and I will have a look. Sometimes it is something simple that gets overlooked, I have done it many times.

Did it work before?
Usually when this happens your crew has been at battle stations for too long and they are just too tired to work anymore and there is nobody to run the ship.

Are you running any other MODs at the same time. If you are check to see if you have a crew. Some MODs change the ranks and there is nobody manning the ship, because each station gives a rank of who can man it.

Fine Ship!
More detailed then the Fubuki, looks really nice. And i can shot the Gun, thats what i need.
I copied the Campaign Data from the Fubuki Mod and changed the Name. It works fine.

Edit: Oh, not really...
When i launch the Boat in the first Mission, i get a CTD. Must something wrong with the Mission Objectives. But i really dont know what, with a new IX D it worked fine...
