How are fuel and battery level calculate ?

zano972 · 02-13-13, 01:27 PM

Hi all,

I'm trying to write a simple mod to modify my fuell and battery reserves but I'm not be able to find how and where these 2 parameters are defined/calculated

I've already try unsucsessfully to compute differents values for max_speed, eng_rpm, knots, surfaced and submerged ranges and nothing seems to bring some change

I don't believe - as some people say - that these 2 parameters are hard coded because there is a lot of anothers capitals datas we can find in simples texts configurations files.

Thanks for incoming helps.

If you need unlimited fuel and batteries:

Once the main screen of the gane shows, go to "Options"

There you can tick / untick "limited fuel" and "limited batteries"

It's Ok I know that but I need to have an another possibility to control the fuel and power consumption...

So long.

I'm pretty sure that these things are hard coded..

There is no formula? Eny avaliable data how much sub using fuel at specific speed?

Have a look at what FromHell did with his mod http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3452

i got fed up of running out of torps or fuel, so i made this.
7a boat = 22 torps + 8100 mile range
7b boat= same + 8700 mile range
7c boat= same + 11000 mile range
7c41 boat = same + 11400 mile range.
you basically have 2 internal loadings b4

Well well volodya61... If you're right my next step is to "play" with an hex editor or some equivalents tools

Trevally thanks for your link... I'm going to test this mod

I'll give some feedback about my investigations.

Bye bye.

There are only uboat.cfg files and uboat.sim files that were changed..
