done that also...Just did a reinstall and patched to 1.4 and it works...I think IuB is screwing it up...installing that now to see if that's it..

[Coolhand01]

Ok did the reinstall and Mods one at a time and it worked every time...launched the via SHIII commander and it didn't work...anybody have a clue as to why?...TIA...CH

What are the dates of the missions? It might be that SH3 Commander won't let you use the XXI before it became available historically.

[Ducimus]

That could be. I know SH3 Commander has a file that dicatates what boats become avialable and when. All you have to do is rename that file and the game will use the dates in the basic.cfg

EDIT:
by the way, HW3... i like the skin on the type 7 in your sig pic, where'd you get it?

[Coolhand01]

Doesn't matter...setup for a single mission via Commander with the right dates and flotilla and still no joy...

[HW3]

Ducimus, it is the NSS_Uboat7c_Camo. I got it from U-boot.realsimulation.com. The download section there is down at the moment but, should be back up shortly. Terrapin is on vacation and said he would be back on Friday.

The reason why XXI won't go anywhere is Hollywood Advanced and Medals and renown.cfg in SH3 Commander. Problem is same kind as IIA torpedo reloading problem.

Maybe gouldjg could fix this. :hmm:

How would SH3Cmdr's 'Medals and renown.cfg' file cause problems? At the time of the problem it only changed when the crew gets their clasp and Gold Cross.

Anyway, try upgrading to SH3Cmdr R2.4 and see how that goes.

[Sturm]

It's not the standard SH3 Commanders Medals and renown.cfg. When using Hollywood Advanced you need add this into it

[COMPARTMENT]
NumberOfCrew0=15
Interval1_0=6.1

Interval3_0=19.7

Interval3_11=3.0
NumberOfCrew12=1
Interval1_12=0.5
Interval2_12=0.7
Interval3_12=1.1

I haven't got into crew fatigue models but the values that needs changing are these (electric and diesel compartments), I think...

NumberOfCrew2=9
Interval1_2=3.6
Interval2_2=6
Interval3_2=12.1
NumberOfCrew3=12
Interval1_3=5.1
Interval2_3=7.8

I would look into that only I'm not running the any of hte Hollywood mods so that can't be it...Thanks anyway...CH

Well it was causing my problems. These are the changes I made to Medals and Renown.cfg to make it work.

NumberOfCrew4=8
Interval1_4=4.1
Interval2_4=5.3
Interval3_4=11
NumberOfCrew5=10
Interval1_5=5.1
Interval2_5=6.5
Interval3_5=13.7

So you need three different kind of Medals and Renown.cfg files when using Hollywood Advanced, one for XXI (diesel and electric engines problem), one for IID, VII and IX and one for IIA (torpedo reloading problem).

the problem more than likely is that IUB's Type XXI crew are not 'seasoned' enough to get the boat running. The crew is to GREEN. I had something like this before.

When this happened to me I had Hanz Grovell bring up his Kubelwagen and tied a rope to it. That only rubbed the tread off of the tires and we all had a good laugh. Then, Gunter Flebekkinhaussen brought up an old PzKpfw I and we tied some ropes and chains to her. After gunning the engines of the tank and the boat, only black smoke was produced. What worked for me was rebooting and reinstalling my entire world.

Get the crank out!

Seriously, do you get this problem with any other boat?
