Hi OnelifeCrises, I just started to use the supermod and I checked the threads because I'm affraid my question will be asked before but I cannot find it so I have to ask.
I noticed that me scope is being spotted earlier than in GWX. For example now the auxiliar cruiser in Happy Times finds my scope at a distance of 1,7 Km (my speed is 0 knots). Which for 1940 is a little too uber. As I checked the documentation it states that during daytime enemy ships can see the same as in GWX, give or take a tiny bit. So what can or should I expect in daylight and can I adapt this so I get GWX behavior? |

Visual Sensors
Well I guess there's no getting around this: I'll have to look into them in more detail. One thing I can say for sure is: OLC Ubermod sensors will never be identical to GWX 2.1 sensors. I changed colours, and colours affect sensors, so getting things identical to GWX is simply not possible. I can test for differences and if I find any I can try to "rebalance" things, but it will take time and I don't have much of that at the moment... so to those experiencing problems, all I can say for now is "like it or lump it".
What time I do have has recently been spent playing the game, for the most part, instead of modding it. I started playing with GHX 2.1 + OLC Ubermod in 9/39 and I'm now in 12/40. So far, visual sensors seem a little different to GWX but that's expected. For the most part I'm experiencing the same sort of daytime spotting as I'm used to, but controlled testing of daytime sensors isn't something I've done yet. That's it, folks.

It's time for me to eat humble pie and apologise.
It didn't take too many controlled tests to establish that there's definitely a significant difference between GWX 2.1 (16km) sensors and OLCE2 sensors during the daytime. I'll see what I can do to fix it. In the meantime I'm pulling the DL from filefront. Sorry about all of this. OLC

Just a further note, FYI, on visual sensors:
Removing sensors.cfg and sim.cfg from OLCE2 results in the same thing as I had in earlier versions of the Ubermod - daytime sensors being the same as GWX 2.1 (at least that's now confirmed with some controlled tests) and enemy ships being totally blind in "night proper" (at least until they light you up with spotlights and/or flares - then they can see you - but they won't do that until you fire at them).

Ubermod 2.1.0 released.
This is the same as 2.0.3 except that I've removed sensors.cfg and sim.cfg which contained my changes to visual sensor settings.
This time I've done some controlled tests and, so far, the results show OLCE2 daytime visual sensors to be more or less identical to GWX 2.1 (16km) daytime visual sensors. At night, as with earlier versions of the Ubermod which didn't change those cfg files, the enemy ships can see much worse than they can in GWX 2.1 (16km). This I've not tested as much, but initial tests suggest that in 1939 and early 1940 enemy ships are totally blind at the darkest time of night until they become aware of you (e.g. by you attacking) at which point they will illuminate you with spotlights and flares, and see you quite easily at short/medium range. In late 1940 they will start to be able to spot you at night (without the aid of spotlights and flares) in favourable conditions, and currently I'm assuming that this is due to an increase in crew veterancy. I'm inclined to leave it at that, rather than play with sensors again and risk another sensor ******* up. Again, I apologise for not checking this sooner.

Folks should take heed to this, you have put together a fine mod and have taken some criticism along the way, but have handled it well. If folks don't appreciate your Ubermod after all of this, then they just don't get it. RDP |

No apologies necessary. OLCE2 is a great mod and I've been able to live with any minor incompatibilities that may have cropped up. So far the only one that is "distracting" is the night of the living dead crew faces at night, but that's probably because I don't want to give up my "Fubars Crew Uniform" mod. The better sky and sea (especially the God's night light fix) far outweigh any "problems"

Hi OLC,
Just got caught up on the latest "sensor" issues. Got a question, do we need to enable GWX 16km mod with OLC2? Yes or No is fine, I don't need to waste your time with all the details. Thanks much! Great work! Thanks for your answer, it was a real dumb a$$ question, but the "sensors" issue threw me for a loop, there. Thanks!

First of all I want to say Thank you for your GREAT mods. I like them very much and hope to see your future mods
Now I have 2 little questions which I want you to help me with. 1. When i downloaded OLC Ubermod 2.1 and unpacked it well there are 4 folders. 3 of them are the parts of your mod. But the 4th is U-boat folder and I don't know what to do with it. In the ReadMe it says only about 3 folders to activate via JSGME. What should I do with the folder "U-boat"? 2. If I understand correct this version has no double mast values? I wanted to know if you remade your manual for targeting to match this new feature or there is no necessity? Why am I asking - I decided to start using manual targeting and I read your manual for the version with double mast values. But now we don't have doubled values. So I want to know what have changed in the targeting process and is there a new manual? Thanks a lot |
