Files are called:

CHANGE_your_menu_1024_768.ini
ADD_to_your_commands_en.txt
ADD_to_your_en_menu.txt

Edit the text in these files into the appropriate game file after all your other mods have been activated.

Also change the name of AI_Sensors_NYGM.dat to AI_Sensors.dat and put it in the Data\Library folder of Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1.

Haven't had any problems with M.E.P 5 or earlier versions...

Many thanks Bigwalleye and obltn Strand for the advice

I really like the scarcity of ship traffic in this mod, but I'd like to further reduce the frequency of convoy reports (maybe by half), is this possible?

@Rokko:

Possible, and easy (but tedious).

Locate file campaign_RND.mis in your silenthunteriii\data\campaigns\campaign folder. Make a copy of the campaign_RND.mis file so that you can load it over the existing file with JSGME. That is, you will have to make a separate folder silenthunteriii\mods\my_campaign_file\data\campaig ns\campaign, into which you copy your existing NYGM campaign_RND.mis file.

Load your copy campaign_RND.mis file into a word processor, and use the search command for the key word 'Convoy'. Check that this occurs as part of a GroupName=xxxxConvoyxxx, following the definition [RndGroup mn] (where mn = a number of 2-3 digits).

Then locate these two consecutive entries:
ReportPosMin=(a number, eg 1440)
ReportPosProb=(a different number, eg 25).

ReportPosMin contains the frequency with which the convoy will report its position (in minutes). So 1440 = every 24 hours.
ReportPosProb shows the percentage probability that the report will be made. Thus, in this example, there is a 25% chance that the convoy will make its 24 hour position report.

Therefore, manipulate these two variables as you think appropriate. Your request suggests that you should leave ReportPosProb alone, but double the values reported in ReportPosMin. But the alternative of reducing the percentage probability will increase the random factor. Or you can alter both variables, of course.

There are a lot of convoys.

Finally, install your revised campaign_RND.mis file into the game from its new folder with JSGME. Thus you can test your new file and, if necessary, uninstall it, modify it again, and reload again without affecting the original NYGM installation.

Stiebler.

Hi everyone! A problem is that the sonar operator does not mean the merchant ships. If you ask him to report to the nearest source you can always just put out a noise source to 000 degrees. The warship is true without any problems there is also a lack of speed with which it moves. I use the NYGM 3.6F, complete H.sie V16B1 and Stieber4C.

For the first time I just experienced a phantom ship. (Flying Dutchman?)

Date: 12.11.1939/21:11
Loc: GU ANTON MARTHA 3984, U-47, 7b, 2flot. 3d patrol.
SITREP Co 084 So 3 Depth 13. I began hearing prop wash @ Br138. I determined via paper MoBo that the ship was beyond sound detection range, but was heading about NNW at medium speed. My "crew" Soundman kept giving me, "No Sound Contact". I surfaced and gave pursuit. I dived and surfaced several times during my chase to reestablish the "target's" position. Finally, "she" became visible, a plump M16B Br347 @5500m. I plotted "her" C346T S6.5.

When the range between M16B and U-47 was 2400m, I fired a 3 torp (T-1(G7A)) @30knots salvo @ 1° spread, depth 7.5m. I watched all three pass beneath (or through) the target without exploding.

I brought the deckgun into action to no avail, the HE rounds were passing through the hull and splashing on the other side of the ship.

This became frustrating, so for sh*ts and grins I decided to ram the bugger...and, likewise, U-47 passed through the M16B without mishap.

The U-47 crew and I put SHIII on pause and poured ourself a martini.

Cheers,

[hauangua]

hi mate
You have a mod list rather "confused"
-For example IABLShipsforNYGM_New and MFM-Interim-Beta should NOT be installed together (but it says readme file)

-SH3_Commander_Updates_for_NYGM NOT be installed with JSGME but in sh3commander folder

-FM_NewInterior v2.1D + Widescreen Magui v3.4-SA ... and Widescreen Magui v3.4 FIX-SA for NYGM? ... And FM_NI FIX for Widescreen MaGui3.4? ........
Many errors in mod list Mate
However NYGM not like many extra mod

[don1reed]

Tnx hauangua, I'll get it fixed.

I am just getting back into SH3 after a break for a while. I still have a heavily modified version of GWX installed, but i am keen to try NYGM as i hear the experience is more realistic and the AI in GWX is solid.

I am a sucker though for trying to mod my game to the maximum, with the best graphics, gui, and other gameplay mods.

Therefore could some of you post your installed mods lists please? To get me back up to speed on what i may have missed in the last year or so.

I am after a realistic as possible experience with NYGM, SH3 Commander etc


cheers

The in-game menu shows F12 as activating the free camera mode. However, when I try to use it, nothing happens. Any ideas?

I didn't know that option was there. Not the 'event' camera, but the one that moves about the u-boat.

Hi, Stiebler.
I did not understood... Now radar antennas FuMo30, 61, 64 are always mounted up in R02 nodes... but radar antennas FuMo29GEMO are always mounted up in R01 nodes... or no?
************************************************** *
I have not participated in the creation of NYGM 3.6 F, E and so on...
and I have a few questions to Stiebler.
Stiebler's citates:
"... Since the release of NYGM 3.6E, Tycho has adapted Anvart’s latest up/down code for raising and rotating the radars ..."
Wrong, it is not the last version... it's one of the first... two firsts variants were issued.
"... the animation files found as silenthunteriii\data\animations\anva_anim.anm and silenthunteriii\data\library\anva_smc.dat are not present. ..."
Where you found such junk... IIRC it's old experimental code... and I did not made code for ROD antenna never.
"... the Anvart-Stiebler patch provided with the Stiebler hard-code fix 4C ..."
"... Anvart_Stiebler Turms ..."
What is it? What is the relationship I have to your R01, R02 nodes?
IIRC, I've been doing (long time ago) retexturing of the compasses on turms.
And, ~ 5 years ago, I have asked you try change the hardcode, so that in campaign when selecting the type of radar was determined node of installation for radar antenna, node R01 (FuMo29GEMA) or node R02 (FuMo30, 61, 64).
You responded that you can't do it.

[Stiebler]

@Anvart,

Hallo Anvart again,
Answers to your questions:

Now radar antennas FuMo30, 61, 64 are always mounted up in R02 nodes... but radar antennas FuMo29GEMO are always mounted up in R01 nodes... or no?

Correct (yes.) But only if the Stiebler4C hard-code patch is installed on top of the H.sie patch.

Stiebler's citates:
"... Since the release of NYGM 3.6E, Tycho has adapted Anvart’s latest up/down code for raising and rotating the radars ..."
Wrong, it is not the last version... it's one of the first... two firsts variants were issued.
"... the animation files found as silenthunteriii\data\animations\anva_anim.anm and silenthunteriii\data\library\anva_smc.dat are not present. ..."
Where you found such junk... IIRC it's old experimental code... and I did not made code for ROD antenna never.

OK, thanks for the two corrections.

"... the Anvart-Stiebler patch provided with the Stiebler hard-code fix 4C ..."
"... Anvart_Stiebler Turms ..."
What is it? What is the relationship I have to your R01, R02 nodes?
IIRC, I've been doing (long time ago) retexturing of the compasses on turms.

The turms which I fixed in hard-code were the turms you supplied to me several years ago. According to you (above) 'it is not the last version... it's one of the first'. However, it uses your animation files for raising and lowering the radar and radio D/F aerial. I am happy to acknowledge your considerable skills in achieving this.

And, ~ 5 years ago, I have asked you try change the hardcode, so that in campaign when selecting the type of radar was determined node of installation for radar antenna, node R01 (FuMo29GEMA) or node R02 (FuMo30, 61, 64).
You responded that you can't do it.

And now I can do it. Are we not all lucky?

Stiebler.
