[REL] Longer Repair Times v2.03 - Page 4

ZMC · 01-19-09, 08:59 PM

I wanted to tell everyone using LRT a few little tips:

-Sometimes there is a bug that says 'compartment destroyed' when trying to drag (move) a crew member into a damaged U-boat compartment. It won't let you move the crew member into that damaged compartment. A way around this is to left-click on the compartment name (text above the compartment) in the repair screen, then right-click on the crew member you want to move into that compartment. Works every time.

-How to remove the depth charge interior camera shaking effect from LRT 2.04 Full version. Players may want to remove this feature because the interior camera may shake annoyingly when resting on the sea bed floor while repairing, especially with heavier U-boat compartment flooding. Do these steps before installing LRT Full. First, delete the Cameras.dat file and the particles.dsd file located in the library folder of LRT 2.04 Full. Second, delete all files in the LRT 2.04 Full sound folder except the Steam_burst.wav file.

I'll be signing off now and hanging up my mouse. I don't plan on releasing any more SH3 mods or posting here any more.

Thanks everyone for using LRT, and best of luck to you all. I'm outta here!

Hello ZMC,

Small problem: the No Collision Damage zip file would not open for me. Everything else unzipped just fine.

ZMC (If you are still here),

Thanks for an update to this great mod.

I was testing this mod in the academy and I was taking gunfire from the DD and it usually damages compartments but doesnt cause flooding most of the time. This strikes me as backwards. No slam on this mod as I love your work but I was wondering if this is a byproduct the way you set up the damage model?

Thanks for all your work, ZMC. Doing my first ever voyage to Long Island with the new LRT. Wonderful mod.

Just installed the LRT. LOVING IT.

The "no collisions" optional mod is not JSGME ready.....and I can't find the controller in SH3/data....can anyone tell me how to install this ?

Cheers, Hans.

Hi Uber Gruber,
The "no collisions" file SH3Collisions.act is in your SH3 root directory. The No Collision Damage (optional mod) is JSGME ready, just copy the No Collision Damage (optional mod) folder into your mods folder and enable or follow the readme instruction.

02-19-09, 06:02 PM

Thanks, i'm a bit of a klutz today....managed to work it out.

Unfortunately, i can't use it with Mikahl's combined gui mod even though that uses teh same version of OLC. Mikahl did a lot of work on teh combined and its really good. I'm hoping ZMC might pop back in one day and consider it worth of a patch.

Then again.....I can't expect him to update his mod in eternity.

Cheers, Hans.

I installed this and now the green efficiency bar for the crew at the different stations has disappeared. Anyone else has experienced this bug?

Pepe le Moko · 03-06-09, 10:30 AM

Quick update :

I removed this mod using JSGME and now my green crew efficiency bar is back so it has something to do with the mod.

h.sie · 03-06-09, 10:52 AM

yes, it's an known side-effect of the mod.
it decreases crew efficiency in order to have longer repair times.
not a very nice way, but the only one.

Pepe le Moko · 03-08-09, 12:47 AM

Okay thanks, i didn't realize it completely emptied the efficiency bars of the crew, thought it just reduced them but not fully.

ryanwigginton · 03-16-09, 12:31 PM

This mod sounds fantastic. Can I use this with GWX3.0 Gold and OLC Gold? If so, can anyone recommend an install order? And which of the LRT patches do I need?

h.sie · 09-03-09, 02:45 AM

The LRT is already included in OLC Gold MkII. Just choose Option 2 or Option 4. That's it.

Fluffysheap · 09-23-09, 07:12 PM

I have a few problems using this mod, though I think I would like it a lot...

1) Given that this mod eliminates the crew efficiency bars, whats the best way to deal with this? It's enough work to keep my compartments running efficiently even when I can see what is going on.

2) If I take some damage, I find that the leaking water hiss sound never stops, even after repairs are complete. And, sometimes, I see some empty messages from my officers, especially the engineer.

3) When I went to play the practice anti-aircraft mission to test everything out, I found that I was able to take some damage, but even minor damage never got repaired, no matter how long I waited. However, I could see time to repair flooding but the estimated time kept increasing, even when I was on the surface. Overall it just seemed like something wasn't working right.

I have:
GWX 3 Gold
GWX 16km Environment
GWX Unofficial Rocket Fix
Racerboy's SH4 Effects
Lifeboats & Debris V4
LRT 2.04 Full
Racerboy's compatibility mod for LRT & Lifeboats
GWX Integrated Orders
LRT Integrated Orders compatibility mod
Thompson's sound mod 3.0 + 3.1 + 3.2

I think this is the right order to install these in, but maybe not? I don't use the OLC mod, or SH3 Commander.
