To quote Fifi from Page One of the thread: "- OM Strategic Map Symbols will bring more accurate map symbols for mission objectives. Can be activated anytime in bunker.", which my oldmanitis-infested brain forgot about when you mentioned "arrow", so you have the map symbols activated in your mod. However, that does not change the fact that the default SH4 mission icon marker is rather klunky... lol, but also shows-out an old and tired brain.

Hello guys, i have been playing DW for a while and i enjoy it

i have 2 questions i hope i can get answers to them

1- how to change all map contact colors to neutral grey/black i want to use recognition manual rather than just see colors Green/blue/red

2- is there specific ships that do not have lifeboat modelled so we do not see any when we sink those ships?

Thanks for this awesome Mode building on the great OM by lurker

I cannot remember the answer to your #1... a mind is a terrible thing to let get old...

#2, you'll find the crew complement, survivor rate and survivor percentage in each ship's Sea folder cfg file. Set the percentage to zero. Use a Search & Replace in Notepad++ can get them all in one pass. Just about any plain text editor can do. If you like scripting, purchase 010 Editor.

Try here... This is in answer to #1...

just fyi... I found it doing a simple google search, using black contacts SH4 subsim, as the search parameters..

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=2998

makes all contacts on maps black, even the sonar lines... so best be sure of your targets before ya let loose with the eels...

Hi, just wondering how to transfer crew in and out of the sub? I wanted to get someone new on board but it keeps saying "too many officers" or "too many petty officers". I understand I need to do something in my silent hunter 4/data/cfg/ folder somewhere?

propbeanie · 03-21-21, 10:01 AM

It would actually apply to each submarine's UPCGE (plain UPC for Allied subs) file, found in "Data / Submarine / SubName / Subname.upc". If you have a Type VIIC, you'll find in the "NSS_Uboat7c" folder, "NSS_Uboat7c.upcge" files lines like:

MaxPettyOfficers=15 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 4
MaxOfficers=8 ; max number of crewmembers over rank 7

Change those figures to like 30 and 16 or whatever. Not "historic", but neither are the original figures...

Cheers mate, appreciate the reply. It worked for me!

Another quick question, I'm wondering how to change the weather in game? I find that the seas are often as flat as a billiards table, and it is hardly ever rainy or heavy waves, even when out in the North Atlantic! It is possible to change some stuff around so you can get more heavy weather?

Thank you!

Thank you!

two places: scenes.dat or the actual mission (dotMIS).

Anybody know how to get rid of those damned Steam Trawlers that the Limeys have sailing all over the map of the UK?

those are counterparts to the Junks, Fishing Boats, and Crab Boats in the US module.

i am certain that you can edit a dotMIS file in the Campaigns folder and either reduce the number or eliminate them altogether.

Yep, I've had a look through the folder KaleunMarco mentioned and can't find it.

If anyone else knows, I'd like to know the answer as well
