How Do I get Unlimited Torpedos

blysas · 02-25-07, 05:54 PM

What I need to know is there a mod that puts unlimited torpedos in the sub or how I could design a mod to accmodate this ?

Welcome to Subsim, blysas!

I really don't know but I don't think that somebody has done such a mod, because SH3 (stock) is arcardish enough me thinks.

No mod needed: just go into realism settings
uncheck "limited ammo", I think, it's called! Never used it myself!

EDIT:
Sorry! Just checked - no such option!
Must have confused with previous version SH

Anyway, don't know about such a mod...

Look I am using Silent Hunter 3 at the moment. I need some advice on how to access the core files of this games and edit it in such a way, that I can get unlimited otrpedos or at least more then the best sub .

If I may ask: Why?

At the harbor, go straight towards where you see a lightish building, turn left and straight down about 300 metres. There's a guy on a motorbike side-car there. When you see him, stop, turn left and walk 100 metres. There should be a brown door in front of you. Knock 3 times and enter. Ask the secretary behind the desk you wish to see the guy in charge of Ammunition Allocation. When you're called, knock, enter his office and salute. Request your boat be filled with torpedos at the expense of your crew. See what he says...

There are only a certain number of torpedos you can add to a sub before the game crashes
IIRC its only another couple more in the IXD2 which is not far off the XXI anyway

:rotfl:Where do you plan to store them ?

For my Sins.......(I can't believe I'm doing this)

Try Google & Silent Hunter 3 Trainer. Make sure you get the right file for your version of SH3.

There's such an option?

I changed my settings so long ago that I must have forgotten.

blysas,

To answer your original question (before the topic drifted into tactical nuclear torpedoes) you can use Wolfies' TweekPac to modify the number of eels your boat carries, at least within reason. For instance, in addition to the 4 torps in the tubes, a type 7 boat can be made to carry about 8 forward reserve torps, 8 forward extra torps, and 6 forward external torps. You can't get away with modifying the aft torpedoes that much but you can have 2 reserves and 4 external torps back there. Adding any more than that requires modification of the games torpedo layout screens which, at this point, you don't seem to be ready for.

You can find Wolfies' TweekPack here:

Your going to modifying this file: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg\basic.cfg

So make a backup of the file before you ever start playing with TweekSUB or else your doomed. OK, not really doomed, but you will hate yourself when you add too many torpedoes to a class of boat and you can't get them to load...

Have fun and welcome to modding

Bob
