[REL] Stormy Seas Sub Gun Fix

the only difference with v1.5 and v1.4 is there are extra subs so a version for 1.4 will work for 1.5 but not for the german subs since those files werent in v1.4 so they wouldnt be modded.

the simple way is to just do your own v1.5 of this mod is by following this info for editing the subs cfg files yourself.

(this is how to make the changes and how they work)

open the subs folder and open that subs cfg file to find:

[Properties]
PeriscopeDepth=14.5;meters
SnorkelDepth=15;meters
CrashDepth=40;meters
MaxDepth=61;meters
SurfaceDepth=5.257;meters
TorpLaunchMaxDepth=30;meters
StormConditions=9,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]


now this is the line you edit:

StormConditions=9,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]


this is the stock setting, to edit how the deck gun gets manned you only change the the first number in green. this is the max wind speed setting which means that winds of 9 or higher are considered storm conditions and are too rough to man the deck guns so set it as high as you feel the need to but remember that when enough water washes over or covers the deck then your crew will think you are submerging and go below decks so you are always limited by wave action and sea state even if wind isnt that high.

the second set of numbers in purple are the rain settings but i never messed with the rain settings because i never had rain issues so im not sure what need there would be for messing with that setting.

when you are done just dont forget to save your changes to the file.

Thank you, that was very helpful and by the way, thanks for making all of your other mods as well. I have had a great time making use of the modifications that you have come up with, it is nice to see that someone is putting time into modding SH4, hopefully we can look forward to seeing some of your work in SH5.
