Stiebler 'Surrender' and 'Smoke on Horizon' patchkit for H.sie V15G2

Stiebler · 08-04-11, 06:33 AM

EDIT:
Now includes code for the CAM-ships, see post#18, or click here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...1&postcount=18

Also, the 'Smoke-on-Horizon' mod no longer is active during darkness.
Update 26 August 2011. Updated again 5 September 2011.

I have now prepared the patchkit, and uploaded it to here (revised link 5 September 2011):
http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/Sti...Smoke_CAM_2.7z

This patchkit is an overlay for H.sie's V15G2 patchkit for the original SH3.exe.
You MUST have V15G2 in order to use my new patchkit. See here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=174225

The 'Surrender' mod should be familiar to previous users of H.sie's V15G1 mod, and the code has been slightly upgraded for this new version. It allows you to abandon your U-boat at sea when the situation is hopeless (e.g. badly damaged, no fuel) and, with luck, be rescued by another U-boat. Great news for 'Dead-is-dead' players!

The 'Smoke on the Horizon' mod tries to recreate those magical moments from the famous Aces of the Deep U-boat simulation, when you first encounter a convoy. The code uses my adaption of the SH3 original code to report a convoy, and is subject to the same limitations as the original: it works less well in conditions of poor visibility (including darkness). So sometimes you may get three or four reports of 'Ship spotted,sir!', before the required 'Smoke on the Horizon, sir'. Be aware of this occasional defect, but it was part of the original coding.

Full descriptions of the mods are included with the help file for the revised Options Selector, included in the download package. Installation instructions are also included as txt files in the download package.

I hope you enjoy this addition to H.sie's V15G2 mod,

Stiebler.

Hi Stiebler,

How are you mate?

Long time absent form Sh3...many thanks by yours new mods mate! They are just great as always!

About "smoke on the horizon", how it works? (I tried to find some info but don't found it). Will my crew report a smoke on the horizon instead ship spotted only when we found a convoy? Is it also triggered by the distance of the contact?

Thanks by any advice!

Rubini.
