[REL] SH 5 Lifeboats

[bill clarke]

Is this mod for campains only or will it work with the historical missions?

I ask as I have installed it and just tried one on the single missions. I sank a freighter, but no life boats appeared.
Have installed it with JSCONES GME

Is this mod not compatible with Magnum Opus?
because it overwrites rosters

Hi,
I haven't read this whole thread through, so I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but:
I just sank a small British flag freighter, and looking close at the surviving crew members on a raft, most of them have shirts with the German eagle emblem on the right side of their chest. This can't be right.
The survivors of a sunk British ship surely cannot all be German POWs?

Rongel, can this be fixed? After all, the targets we try to sink in SH5 are allied nationalities, whose crew are not carrying German clothing/emblems.

Apart from this the mod seems to work nicely, incl. the sounds.

I haven't seen any lifeboats yet either (I use the latest OHII). Until I (hopefully) do see some, how do we know if this mod is actually working correctly?

The current version of the LifeBoat mod is up to date with OH II. Every nation has lifeboats and the mod works like it should. If you been sinking ships, you should see the lifeboats really soon (they spawn maybe 2/3 ships sunk). Only other possibility is that the installation of the mod is corrupted. You could go and check for example data/roster/Venezuela/sea/ and see if there is LifeBoatLarge and LifeboatSmall cfg-files. If they are there, everything should be ok.

Hi Rongel, thanks for the reply. I followed your advice and checked to make sure the files were there, which they were. When you mentioned possible mod corruption, I remembered someone mentioning that the New Zealand folder should be NewZealand, so I deactivated the mod (at sea), corrected the folder name, then reactivated the mod and loaded up the game. I got a gift from the next ships I sunk: lifeboats! So, I gave the survivors rations and blankets in your name.

Thanks again!
