The problem with cheating is a balance - if you don't cheat at all most games get tedious and/or irritating. If you cheat too much they get boring. It's a very rare game that is programmed so perfectly that a little cheating doesn't make it more fun rather than less, but again it's tricky to get just the right balance.

Running out of fuel in SH4 is irritating, crossing the Pacific at 10 knots is tedious, so it's the best place to cheat - a LITTLE.

What I did was use Silent 3ditor to open the \Data\Submarine\NSS_Gato\NSS_Gato.sim file, edited the 11:unit_Submarine\Ranges\Surfaced to
miles=18000
knots=15

That gave me a little more range at standard speed instead of chugging along at 10 knots. Eventually I gave up on the whole Pearl Harbor thing and went Asiatic, then started playing with the mission editor to create new resupply bases so I never bothered to increase the Sargo range.

So if you want to cheat a LITTLE do the same with your favorite sub, add ballast fuel tanks and increase the range by 2000 or 3000 miles. Don't go overboard and increase to 50000 or something, if it's too much you might as well select unlimited fuel.

Where do I find the SH editor, its not on the menu?

Happy Hunting!

Edit, if you mean the Mission editor, it is in the same folder as SH4.exe

may your gods walk by your side and have an already opened bottle for you

I dont believe this.

Complete uninstall. Reinstall. Patch, RSRDC, patch, sound mod and cfg torps set to zero duds, tick box set to zero duds and HAD a DUD hitting a NAGA.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! !!!

I think I might have sussed it. I reset game for RSRDC etc and went back into cfg/gamesetttings. but this time I set ALL three dud torps as false whereas before I was only setting 'normal' Now back at sea and see how it goes.

You should set the realism of the game when you're in the office not when you start a new carreer.

When in the office on book shelve (top left) one of the books will highlight with 'options', set the realisme in there, the game will keep the settings.

If you want you can hard code it in the GameplaySettings.cfg which is in the Data/CFG folder.

Like so:

[Normal]
LimitedBatteries=true
LimitedCompressedAir=true
LimitedO2=true
LimitedFuel=true
RealisticRepairTime=true
ManualTargetingSystem=false
NoMapUpdate=false
RealisticSensors=true
DudTorpedoes=false
RealisticReload=true
NoEventCamera=false
NoExternalView=true
NoStabilizeView=true
MPShowPlayerNames=true
MPShowTorpedoes=true


Hope this helps.

thanks for your help, I did not know about the book for options!! after all this time too!! I did that setting last night and took a new boat out to test as they were the most vulnerable (with Mk14) for duds. Nothing yet.

Does this setting stop the premature detonations too, that was always a pain but for some stupid reason the surface ships do not react to that?

Its only a game when all said and done but I do like things to look right and run right.

[Red Devil]

famous last words, took on a tanker, frst hit and stopped it second - DUD!!!

I give up!

All settings everywhere are on NO DUDS!

[Sniper297]

Only thing I can figure is you're running one of the mega mods like RSRD or trigger maru, whichever one overrides realism settings.

[Red Devil]

RSRDC is on, the 5.2 version but I adjusted the setting after installing the mod ????

Just wondering if you played with the settings in the office when you took out a new sub.

Anyway, to make sure all settings are the same you can do this:
Copy the changed cfg file (in the gameplaysettings.cfg) and past it under every setting (Easy, Normal, Hard and Realistic). Also past it in you SH4 folder in Documents/SH4/Data/cfg/GameplaySettings.cfg just to make sure.

Yes, no more dud's, prematures, deep runners or circle runners.
The premature detonations probably happen because you fire the torpedoes to soon after each other, wait for 7sec. or until the message torpedo in the water appears.

Are you referring to RSRDC v502? that version is for use with TMO 2.5, there's a stand alone RSRDC version for stock and one to go with RFB.

[Red Devil]

1. will check setting as soomn as off nights

2. tks

3. tks

4. Yes that version and just adding TMO 2.5 to it now; did not know it was to be both. Or forgot.

running this on my laptop (win 7)

RSRDC TMO 5.2
RSRDC V5*** patch 1
TMO visuals for RSRDC
Nav Map makeover V 2.1 (not doing anything)
1_trigger Maru Overhaul 2.5 (just added this now)

These setting are not the same as my pc

[merc4ulfate]

TMO will over ride realism settings but what can be adjusted is in the documentation.

If your running TMO and RSRD then your mod order needs to be :

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1

This is the required order as described in the documentation.

Running TMO and RSRD in any other order will not be compatible for an enjoyable evening.
