I have read the instructions about U-tankers fix but i can´t make do it work

Do you use GWX or NYGM?
Is your copy patched to 1.4b?
Other than that I don't know.
For me it runs perfectly with GWX.
If everything goes well you should get something like this:




Note that the names of the surface vessels have been changed from Bessel to U-Bessel.
Good luck

Perhaps h.sie can clarify the question...

Since I'm in the same situation as CapSea, I'm interested in the answer too.

It'd be easier I know just to use a mega mod, but since NYGM turned my external views into a slideshow (sometimes freezing the game) that's not an option until I can upgrade.

This is an outstanding Mod! I am interested in understanding the formula in finding the correct depth to set torpedos to lessen failure rates. I would like someone to use real numbers to explain the D1 and D2 formulas in the documentation using actual numbers, like windspeed=15.

This would be a great help in enjoying the realism improvement in this Mod. Thanks!

Concerning the U-tankers code:

I received a PM from CapSea on this subject, but now I have seen the problem in this thread affects several people. Therefore I have reproduced my PM reply to CapSea below:

The U-tanker code functions only at a U-tanker in one of your campaign files (campaign_rnd.mis, campaign_scr.mis, campaign_lnd.mis) where the tanker's name begins with the letters 'U-', for example U-461, U-Brake.

Your U-boat must come to the U-tanker at sea, then you click on 'Exit Patrol', and then you click on 'Continue Patrol'. This will give your U-boat partial repairs (if necessary), some new torpedoes (if the U-boat has space in the forward reserve torpedo area), and more fuel (up to a maximum of one third more fuel). You can only dock at the U-tanker if wind speeds are less than 10 m/s.

This mod will function with any version of SH3 that has U-tankers added to the campaign files. The super-mods NYGM and GWX function correctly, but any mod that has U-tankers added will function also.

Does your SH3 installation have U-tankers marked on the map when you sail to sea?

I should mention that the U-tanker code was originally mine (H.sie rewrote it for consistency with his patch, and he added the ability to load a few extra torpedoes at my suggestion), therefore I can provide these further details:

'Pseudo-docking' is the name I gave to the process of stopping at a German base, then clicking on 'Exit Patrol', followed by 'Continue Patrol' on the next screen when you are asked if you really wish to dock. The U-tanker code will function when your U-boat pseudo-docks at ANY German base whose NAME begins with 'U-'. That is the only test. So you can pseudo-dock at U-Kiel if you wish, although this is not very helpful. But of course the main intention was to allow pseudo-docking at sea with proper U-tankers.

Stiebler.

Yes it is.
SH3 Commander runs outside SH3.

Can you give little more information like mod list or something?

Have you followed the procedure to correctly install Patch v1.6?
It is crucial to follow the procedure to the letter!

[uboot556]

yes i have not problems withe the other 2 campaigns,but the campaign generated with sh3 commander is unstable and crashes.
in any case i actived all VonDos's ships and a large variety of merchant ship +supplement to V16B (this is the first of all mods),torpedo hand GWX,new deck gun1.2 ,raffael dsk gui,waterstream+exhaust v2.3 GWX,life boat debris britishasdicmk1final,flag&pens and other,i have a total of about 30 mods

[VONHARRIS]

I am confused.
Are the two stable campaigns running without SH3 Commander?

Too many mods can make the game unstable.
If it were a memory issue the game would have crashed at the beggining , I think.
Try disabling some mods to check this theory.
In these cases , it is mostly "trial and error" type solutions

[uboot556]

Now i deletted 1 campaign and i started a new one ,i also disabled some mods but strangely when i reach some areas *new york or tirnidad) or after a period of time the game crashes

[Kapitän]

Hi, I have an installation question re. GWX: Since GWX is not added as a Mod via JSGME but installed directly into the sh3 game folder, which do I install first after having installed a new version sh3: The V16B1-patch or GWX? Thanks, Kapitän

[VONHARRIS]

First GWX and then everything else.
Good luck
