[REL] Playable S-Boot ( Final ) - Page 63

schmidtc · 05-16-08, 10:11 AM

I´m totally thrilled about your s-boot mod, fascinating what´s possible with sh iii.

Maybe somebody can add one of these points.....(or complete)

a) I guess fuel consumption is too high @ low speeds and too low at speed above 15 knots.
b) boat acceleration is too good, the boat speeds up to 35 knots in no time, s-100 class is about 100tons, so that´s a point.
c) Due to the fact that only one or two engines (not sure, guess only one) were in use at cruising speeds it would be perfect turning only one prop @ low speeds and the three are only in use @ speeds over 25-42 knots.....

Unfortunately I not a professional in shiii modding but maybe an expert here in the forum or the author of this perfect mod itself?

Would be great.... //Chris

i like how the mod is now

i would hate to lose that acceleration!

Hi guys...first let me thank Mikhayl and all the guys for all their hard work ..its a new game..its AWESOME!!! I am loving it..getting my arse kicked on a regular basis due to my poor tactics...but its great !

A couple of questions though.
(1) I keep asking for my boat to be equipped with the four barrel flakvierling, which appears to be available..but I always end up with a single barrel 3.7CM...is this normal, or is it because of a glitch with my install ?

(2). I know that this has been asked before...but is there any way at all to get the flak guns to open fire on enemy ship rather than man them one by one...it would be awesome to have them all open up at once on a designated target.

thanks guys.

gord96 · 05-16-08, 02:14 PM

:hmm: i dont think u can get the 4-barrel in this mod. just the single. the only gun u can upgrade is the front, from a single to a double.

peterloo · 05-18-08, 12:55 AM

Thank you for your help in advance, Mikhayl. Unfortunately, the problem presists even if I delete that file

I guess the best way out of the problem, is to create another partition in my harddrive and install Windows XP back.

Thanks for your advice through.

Hi guys.. I wonder if I can ask your help on a couple more issues : I have looked through quite a lot of the pages in this thread and done searches, but no luck..so forgive me if I am going over old ground.

I have GWX 2.1 installed and the latest SH3 Commander.

Weather 1: On every patrol in my career the weather is the same... 4m/s wind, nice calm seas ,light fog, and blue skies with white clouds. Is this due to having the 16Km vision enabled ? It seems to stay the same on all patrols, no matter how long they have been ( up to 4 days ). Its not a big issue, but I wouldnt mind a bit more waves and rain.. or would that stop me manning the flak guns ? If bad weather does stop you manning the guns, can you work around the same as you do in SH3 by reducing wind speeds ?

Weather 2 : On my last patrol with 16KM viz enabled...I was confronted with a monochrome sky !..and very strange foggy effects...it happened twice and then I disabled the 16KM... after that it was ok... is this due to a known glitch ? ( I have all my SH3 and S-Boot mods on JGSM and enable/disable them depending on which game I want to play )

Single Missions : Is it possible to enter single missions with an S-Boot ? I tried ( loaded the S-Boot mods via JGSM then used SH3 Commander to load ) Up came the S-Boot loading screen but in the two different missions I tried I ended up in a U-boat underwater..same as if you played a single mission on stock SH3). Is there a way around this ?..I'd just love to escort the Scharnhorst through the Channel !

Weapons Officer : After getting my arse kicked many times I decided I was trying to do too much at once ..manual targetting, evasive action, firing guns etc.. So I enabled the weapons officer ... Is it best to set the target speed and torpedo depth manually and let him do the rest ( and does he get better at this if he is given a torpedo mans qualification ? ).

I am a bit of a noobie, so I would be grateful for any advice. As always, thanks to all of you for any help. best regards, Jim

For the single missions problem, you have to chose the type II/A.

The weather problems are not related/caused by the SBOOT mod.

lotharbucheim · 05-19-08, 02:01 AM

I have tried to do the "Cerberus" and other single missions ..I select a Type IIA and when the game starts...I find my S-Boot submerged..on being asked to surface it wallows up to a half awash state ! Quite funny, but not very entertaining..any ideas ? :p

By the way..has anybody had any issues with CTD during high time compression ?

Other wise this game is awesome..but any more info to my previous post will be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes I went up to 1024x, without any negative effects like the half awash state

Just a question...what version have you installed? :hmm:

lotharbucheim · 05-19-08, 11:08 AM

Hi Linerkiller, and thank you for your help. I installed SH3 plus the 1.4 patch. Then GWX 2.0 and the GWX 2.1 update. Then the latest SH3 Commander and then the upload shown on page 1 of this thread. This the link I used :

http://files.filefront.com/Schnellbo.../fileinfo.html

Have I got the right version ?

At first there were no problems..I played for a couple of days and had great fun. Then yesterday all hell broke loose .. the monochrome skies..etc. Up till yesterday I had not tried a single mission, only a career. If you would be able to give me an idiots guide to how to load it I would be very grateful. i am afraid that my knowledge of computers is very poor..for instance , when I read the instructions on where to put the "holland canals" part I think I might have directed it to the wrong place.

I have uninstalled EVERYTHING, but before I re-install SH3 GWX and S-boot I would be very grateful for any advice. I really do appreciate all the help that you guys give on this forum, its amazing. Best regards, Jim

The install of this mod is very simple, just install the files that you find inside the downloaded file and install them following their number. Ex.
SB01-
SB02-
etc.
I use too this mod version...so the problem is another...Can you post / write your JSME configuration?

Ramboxxx88 · 05-22-08, 12:09 PM

I hope that you or someone else make a battleships to Playable in SH3 GWX 2.1
i just hope.

Unfortunately SH3 game limitations wont allow that....But SH4 did

!!!!!!!! There is a mod called PLAYABLE POCKET BATTLESHIP that gives you the command of the ADMIRAL SCHEER
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=135891
It's a real power of the nature...trust me!

Safe-Keeper · 05-29-08, 04:09 PM

I've just downloaded this mod and had a go with it. Allow me to congratulate everyone involved

.

I also demand an apology. The sheer awesomeness of your mod is delaying NorOps

.

Safe-Keeper goes back to drooling over the concept of a mod that allowed you to take the reins of a Norwegian MTB and take it on patrols in Norwegian fjords...

05-29-08, 06:43 PM

@Safe-Keeper

Mikhayl did a GREAT job didn't he?
Then all the others stepped in to add to it!

It's so danged fun I can't get anything done.
