Battery Capacity Mod

[saintpietro]

Sometimes we all need a little "realistic". for example trun on the limited battery option.
Thant means you could only range 100plus miles at a few knot.
I've been looking for the way to increase battery capacity.
If we change the value (range speed) in sim file. I bet a lots of guys here have done this. The capacity of battery bigger but meanwhile recharge time will become extremly long.
Thus I tryed dozens of time in SpecialAbilities file try to figure out a way to change crew skill. Both extend battery capacity but keep stock recharge speed.

Here's my work and it has been proved simple easy and efficient.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

open SpecialAbilites use Notepad.
find:
[SpecialAbility 10]
ID=Ability-Active-Overcharge-Electric

Here's my work:
[SpecialAbility 10]
ID=Ability-Active-Overcharge-Electric
NameDisplayable=Ability-Active-Overcharge-Electric-Name
Description=Ability-Active-Overcharge-Electric-Description, Ability-Active-Overcharge-Electric-Description, Ability-Active-Overcharge-Electric-Description
Levels= 3
AbilityType=BatteryConsume ;reduce battery consumption (in percents)
AbilityValue= -20, -30, -50 ; this value could range from 0-100(100 means nuke sub)
AbilityInternalValue= -20, -30, -50 ; factor: 1.0
RunOnActivate= IfIsSubmerged, SpeedAheadOneThird ; could change any speed or delete it.

PointsRequirement= 0, 0, 0
AbilityRequirements= 0, 1, Ability-Active-Overcharge-Electric, 1, 1, Ability-Active-Overcharge-Electric, 2
LevelUpTree= 2, 3, 0
MoraleCost= 1, 2, 3 ; can change to 1,1,1 even 0,0,0
PointsCost= 2, 2, 2

AbylityActsIn= ALL

Activation=OnOff ;change OnDemand to OnOff means you can activate the skill all the time when submerged.
Duration=1200, 2400, 3600 ; duration time on longer useful
Cooldown=4320, 2880, 1440
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
reduce 50% BatteryConsume means double the Battery and range. but when you surface the boat. the recharge time unchange.
I've tried 80% but totally lost the fun.
Anyway it's just a game. If you felt submerge range harass you. then try this.
free to use. have fun!!

[saintpietro]

the trick is when submerge, activate the skill, battery become double. then surface the boat, shut down this skill, battery recalculate as stock valume. so the recharge time unchange.

SORRY.got a mistake here:

RunOnActivate= IfIsSubmerged, SpeedAheadOneThird ; could change any speed or delete it.


SpeedAheadOneThird should not appear here. delete it.
just
RunOnActivate= IfIsSubmerged

Sorry, but where is the point in modding a Simulation more unrealistic ? The limited batterie capacity is one of the many things a Kaleun had to consider to survive.

It's a game mate.
I can do anything I want in a game.

Of course, you can do want you want. But as a matter of fact, a Sim's aim is to be as realistic as possible. That's the difference to other pc game types like "action" etc.
