I did get the 1.9 patch from Rapidshare... but I need the mod itself.

LOL, in this campaign technical limitations are a worst threat than our virtual enemies!

Out of jokes, is there any workaround that you can think of for one of the next releases, other than moving the refitting area to south Africa?

If it was just for me I would live with this one refuelling, but the little historian who harbours within me is not as much flexible

I have no idea what controls the refueling.
It always lets me refuel the first time I ask with no problems, but the second is refused.

I do not know if there is just a % chance, but im sure it isn't as the first request is always approved.

Does anyone know how it worked in SH3+4?

What does it say when you are denied? Can you send me a test mission/save game that will allow me to 'experience' this?

When you resquest resupply (from radio man)- there must be a tanker within range (not sure what the range is so in OHII I set the radius to trigger you to ask under 10km). A tanker is placed on the map in ME2 as a mapzone set as resupply.
Then you are given map coordinates for where to meet the tanker. This is set to the player as a mission with an objective marker (resupply) on the map and the tanker is spawned.

When you ask for a second time or if there is no tanker in range you get told by the radio man "request denied captain" - so no tanker is spawned.

I am not sure if this can be done in a single mission as spawning does not work. I will test.

It's not a bug.
That ship is hi-jacked by a German suicide squad.

Some notes added to post1 for anyone looking to start the campaign Monsun Gruppe:-

Quote:

Campaign Monsun Gruppe
This campaign was added in version 1.9 and adds the Indian Ocean. Many new harbours, nations and shipping had to be added. Anyone looking to edit this campaign - the files are not common with other campaigns, so must not be shared.
As the campaign is based on the Monsun Boats, I have tried to follow this as much as I could but there are some limitations with the game as it is now.

IX Type boats.
Due to the large distances to get to the Indian Ocean - the IX type boat was used due to its greater range and load out. This type of boat is not in the game yet and if it ever does make it, I will add it then. But for now we are stuck with the type VIIC41.

Refueling.
Refueling and spares was one of the biggest challenges that the boat faced (other than air attacks) and OHII tries to add this. Resupply tankers are used in most objectives in the campaign, but a game limitation restricks you to one refuel only (I had always wanted to use two) per patrol (leaving and returning to dock).

If you are caught out with low fuel and can not get a resupply - I have a work around:-

Quote:

Save game and note the time that you saved and then exit to desktop.
Open your docs and goto here - C:\Users\Owner\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames
Look for your save game (by date and time that you noted). It may not be the top one as those are auto saves - normally 3rd one down.
Open that folder and look for - GameplaySettings.cfg
open that file with notepad and it will look like this:-

[Current]
LimitedBatteries=true
LimitedCompressedAir=true
LimitedO2=true
LimitedFuel=true <<<<<<< change true to false
RealisticRepairTime=true
ManualTargetingSystem=true
NoMapUpdate=true
RealisticSensors=true
DudTorpedoes=true
RealisticReload=true
NoEventCamera=true
NoExternalView=false
NoStabilizeView=true
MPShowPlayerNames=false
MPShowTorpedoes=false
NoShipHealthBar=true
NoGunProjectilePath=true

Change the line to say "LimitedFuel=false"
save file.
Load your save game and you will have unlimited fuel so you can reach port and either dock or refit.

You can then change your fuel settings back to limited.

There is also a mod that can be used to give your boat the spec of a IX.
See here for the mod by FromHell Boat Type IX

Thanks TDW
I made a single mission to test the resupply.
It will take you to an area and tell you to ask for refueling.
Then it will send you to the next area for another refuel.

The refuel is denied on both areas - I think it will not work in single mission
Here is the mission anyway

Thanks. I'll play with it now

If I wanted to try and resupply in the Total Germany campaign (stock game) where would I go to?

There are none in many campaigns. Only DW, OD and MG.
I can make a patch for Total Germany that will set a mission into the game and some near by tankers that I can place.
It will require a restart and just go straight out in your boat (do not talk to KMO).
When on your boat click on Stratigic marker in you map options and head to that area.
When you get there, ask for resupply and you will get one.
I will the set another ro appear. Head to it and it will be denied.

Trevally. · 05-27-12, 09:39 AM

Install this and start a new campaign.
When in the bunker go straight to patrol - no briefing

There will be a marker on the map just north of Kiel - go there
when 10km away - you will get a message to reqest resupply
get radio man to do that and head for tanker (new map marker will appear. this is the tanker spawning).

Another map marker will show the second resupply area after you refuel

I found the function that is called when you ask for resupply

Now just have to decipher what it's doing
