[REL] Trigger Maru 1.7.6 (Updated 24Jan08)

[Ducimus]

I did alot of "sitting duck" torpedo shoots when working on a torpedo sim file after patch 1.4 for TM 1.7.2's torpedo sim adjustments. The problem is the game is spotty when deciding when to have malfunctions. You could go through a whole patrol with not a single dud, and then another patrol have every fish premature.

Now, i have had a suspicion for the longest time, but ive never really voiced it. You typically leave out of the aussy ports right? It's long been my suspicion that the functionalty for torpedo failures is somehow being effected by the old "IDL bug". I have no hard evidence of this, its just been my gut feeling. I typically leave out of pearl, and RARELY, next to never, have a dud or premature. The few times i've left out of fremantle however, the malfunction rate was significant and noticeable. Leave out of pearl again, everythings peachy keen for the most part.

yes I do always do the Asiatic Missions in the campaign. Havn;t done a Pearl one since patch 1.1.

But this is the first time in all the patches since that this is happening.

Pre 1.4 patch Asiatic almost no dud's or problems with it activated. Now OMG what a difference.

>>so you think it might be hemishere related?


It's just been my gut feeling that the IDL bug was effecting more then what we could visually see. But theres absolutely no way to verify that. Torpedo malfunctions are a hit or miss kind of thing anyway. The behavior was never consistant to begin with.

Well, I only do patrols out of Pearl and I had plenty of duds, prematures and deep runners.
For example my 5th patrol:

1. Torpedo: Premature
2. Torpedo: deep runner
3. Torpedo: hit
4. Torpedo: dud
5. Torpedo: premature
6. Torpedo: deep runner
7. Torpedo: preamture
8. Torpedo: hit
9. Torpedo: hit
10. Torpedo: hit
11. Torpedo: hit
12. Torpedo: hit
13. Torpedo: hit
14. Torpedo: miss
15. Torpedo: miss
16. Torpedo: miss
17. Torpedo: miss
18. Torpedo: miss
19. Torpedo: hit
20. Torpedo: hit
21. Torpedo: hit

So out of 21 torpedos fired: 6 were defect Torpedos, 5 missed (probably to incorrect TDC solution) and 10 torpedos hit. I guess that's quite realistic.

Hi all im loving the lastest mod great work one and all.....
I am having a problem finishing my patrols this has happened to me twice.

1.Started out in Manila had a few missions from there and on my thrid sea patrol HQ told me to transfer to Surabaya as Manila was lost to the Japs.....

So i traveled all the way there to find that i could only rearm and refuel but no mission dock at port option.So i braved the Jap air attacks and went back to Manila and i got the dock at port option......

2.next mission i was transfered to Surabaya same story 2 missions later the on my way back to base my port was taken by the Japs.......there was no message to transfer to another base though so i headed to Surabaya only to come under attack by its coastal guns so i left an tried midway but no base will allow me to dock only to rearm .......can some please help i want to play the asia fleet what gives.........

In the Asiatic Campaign it goes from Manilla to Java to Freemantle.

I do not know how Duci set up the Radio Messages in his mod but it sounds like the dates need to be changed as to when it says where to go.

With 1.4 it is the slanted anchor, that is your homebase. I don't think Trigger has affected this.

Use the old symble for the Sub tenders as the base we are to go to on the nav map. Something that stands out for those that do not know what to look for.

This is a nice little app, Damage Control Analyzer, it still works with 1.4, one of its features was that it would tell you your homebase.

Correct. I have not messed with base icons at all. The slanted one is your home base.
