Interesting concept...I can add text to the messagebox no problem...I can even add crew voice (have crew talk)...I know where the ordered speed for each engine is located...what I haven't found yet is the % damage to each engine (diesel and electric)...I'll look for those now

Regarding F7 CTD:

Don't press that key while in a port!

Good point I should disable this when in port

TDW, do you ever play the game? You always seem to be working!

I play it That's usually what gives me the ideas. I'll be playing the game and then I find myself wanting the game to allow me to do something or I want the game to do something...then I'm up to my neck in hex code via OllyDebug trying to figure out how to do it Once figured out and patched I'm back to playing until the next idea pops into my head (which usually isn't much longer )

oh and I'm still in Total Germany campaign

We were just talking about the environmental bug in the Dynamic Environment thread, and I was wondering if you could look into the bug that makes the weather always stay grey and foggy (for what seems like forever) after saving and loading a game. While it adds an atmosphere of impending doom (), it does sort of break the immersion. Someone said this was hard-coded, but I wonder what you think of this? Do you think you could crack this particular problem? Have you experienced this yourself?

I've poked around a little in EnvSim.act file to see what was inside. This file definitely controls the weather and clouds and all. I've seen many function calls into this from the sh5.exe for updating clouds and changing seasons.

I haven't experienced this myself yet or I would've already dove into it and figured out why it's happening and how to correct it. When/if it does happen I'll look into it for sure

TDW just admitted that pressing F7 in port may be a problem, meaning that I may've been doing full reinstalls for nothin' . Yesterday you said you had no problem when pressing F7. Did you press it when you were in Port? Not in the Bunker, but just in Port?

No, I was out on the open sea. If I play the game today I'll try it in port.

Well, I'm in the middle of doing another full reinstall now anyway. I'm gonna follow the Mod list you posted earlier. Don't forget to let me know if you have a CTD in Port

In port to me means in the bunker. It shouldn't do anything when you are in the bunker but to be safe I'll look over my code to ensure it isn't trying anything when in the bunker.

If you are out to sea (not in the bunker) then it should work without problems

Sure, I was going to start a new campaign anyway, so I'll give it a go.

If you do use my mod list, please try to save your game out on the open sea and then reload that save and take note of the weather. Every time I save and reload my weather stays grey and foggy forever (like I just mentioned to TDW), so I wonder if the same will happen to you as well.

Oh, ok, because F7 was working out at sea, during the Tutorial mission and most of the way home, but when I entered Keil harbour (not in the bunker, just sailing through the harbour), pressing F7 would cause a CTD. Strange I know.

Yes, I will take note of the weather

Moin Sirs,

i don´t know if this post is in the right place, but one thing i remeber when i read here and in the dynEnv thread about the problems with the weather when save/load the game.

When i torp a ship and hit, the ship is damaged, burns and go flood with water.
Then save/load the game and furthermore the ship is flood with water and damaged, but didn´t burn anymore

I only noticed, but don´t know if there are parallel to the weather problem and save routine.

I think this is a known bug. Never save the game near other ships, because when you load the game the ships might behave differently, or they might be repaired if you saved when the ship was damaged.

In fact, I tried this the other day, and a ship I had shot with the deck gun was magically repaired after I loaded the game.

[Kalleblom]

Thx for reply.

I try to refrain from saving near other ship, but sometimes the game makes autosave and when i load this one i notice that.

But in real, you´ll have only this moment and can´t get reloaded. So attack, tackle and sink
