Readme dor W4lt3R's AI-addonincluded)

This is an "bonus" addon pack for the Silent hunter 4 mod, playableDD_Fubuki mod.
1. Installation
Just extract the folder in you'r Mods folder and Start with JGSME.
If it doesnt work, you can replace the files with the ones you got in stock SH4.
(.cfg files into data/cfg, and the sim file into data/library/shipparts)
Either way, i only increased ammunition to the 5" duals and increased the overall visual contact range for watchmen,
along with the "lock" ability for gunnery crew, although you still HAVE to manually lock the targets at ranges +10km.

Bugs known:
Occasionally the gunnery crew will cease firing at a target, so re-locking the target is necessary to continue firing.
"I do not know yet how to fix this issue"
Hope you have fun with this.

Have I told u that I get the flag and the 8 stern torpedoes + the 'Gun-stopper'
working?

[MMarques]

Realy? That's great!

I found the engagement range settings, only have to find how to make the main guns fire at one range and the secondary fire at another range.

[Will-Rommel]

I've been awaiting this one!

Hi Xan,

I founded some issues :

1- In the campaign, the DD textures seems messed up by some unknown reason. It's all dressed up in a flashy green color but the turrets and AA guns!

2- I can't play the quick missions you gave along with the mod as a DD, it causes a crash to desktop. The subs are fine and can enter the missions. (Done the AA test with a type XXIII)

Maybe it has something to do with the WinRar installer? I just clicked on it and installed everything in my JSGME MOD folder like stated.

It is a relict of your Sboat(I know u knewed it)
So I wanted to let is this way





ok it is habitual to me

Hey Xan!

Wondeful mod, first of all. But I have exactly two problems

For once my Destroyer is flashy green as well. Checked the first post but didn't find a link to fix this. "coming soon", I suppose?

The other prob I have is I can't access any station outside the ship. It's either the command room or outside view. No chance to get to the deck to use the UZO or binoculars. Also, the crew roster is empty when you first fire it up.

I suppose all these problems are linked to the Monsun boat mod?

That aside, fabolous work! Playing a destroyers makes developing whole new tactics nessecary. But it's great fun!

[chrysanthos]

just see this comments....anyone wants the fubuki link? damn i hate this purple bug damage:/

[chrysanthos]

i have just test the ship.....its not xantrokoles model it is another one....if you want link just tell me ok?

[chrysanthos]

is anyone here???

[Will-Rommel]

Thank you Xan for the new links, now everything works properly!

Two suggestions yet!

1-In the Command room, would it be possible to remove the 2 periscopes? (Or do so in your pocket BB mod) Because when the camera is in the command room, the two periscopes poles keep raising and lowering themselves, they dont stay fixed.

2-Would it be possible to add one playable Flakvierling in the AA arsenal? Maybe replacing the gun wich is alone in its turret? It would allow me to assign a target to my crew instead of just pressing the ''Fire at will'' button.

It would allow me to assign a target to my crew instead of just pressing the ''Fire at will'' button.

Is there a binocular view? I usually assign targets with the binoculars and I find it to be more effective to have them only shoot incoming targets.

[Will-Rommel]

There is a binocular view, but the guns being IJN one, they don't understand the orders of my Deutch captain! :rotfl:

I think there is an incompatibility with the AI AA guns and the binoculars ''espace bar'' orders. But i think this could be fixed by adding a playable AA piece? :hmm:

[M. Sarsfield]

I see what direction you're going in. Good idea to test the incompatibility. More than likely, it's a configuration change that needs to happen in the AI gun files. The AI ships aren't built to take any orders from anybody. So, it was probably an oversight by Xan, assuming that the information can be copied from the sub gun files and put into the AI gun files.
