Default [REL] Dive button depth fix

Hello all,

This little mod removes the tendency for the submarine to automatically level out at 40m when issuing a regular dive command.

Install with JSGME and dive yourself all the way to crush depth! Woohoo!

The dive command tells your boat to level off at 40m. Why would you ever just... dive?

Periscope Depth Command = 12m
Dive = 40m
Crash Dive = 70m

Because, when I'm captain and I say "dive," I mean dive until I tell you otherwise, dammit!

We can't have these sailors thinking for themselves!

I know its a long shot since this is so old but if anyone still has this mod somewhere i would really like to have it.

I dont feel like downloading a huge supermod since it makes my game run poorly.

ohh thats not a big deal, simply edit following cfg files:

\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7a\NSS_Uboat7a.cfg
\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b\NSS_Uboat7b.cfg
\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7c\NSS_Uboat7c.cfg
\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7c41\NSS_Uboat7c41.cfg

...find the entry DiveDepth=40;meters

.....change it to DiveDepth=300;40;meters

i always recommend doing this even if TDW NewUi`s are installed, a dive order is a dive order, and i use the "D" command very often, even if below 40, 100 or 150 meters.

Do you mean DiveDepth=300;meters (typo) or really DiveDepth=300;40;meters

it is no typo, the ";" declares the end of a data line in that cfg file, all behind this sign is ignored by the engine, i keep the original data behind it to renember how stupid it was before, and dont think you are allowed to go to 300 meters
