My first TCx1 patrol, war diary.

[Dowly]

Boat: U-48
Type: VII/B
Base: St. Nazaire
Patrol start: October 3, 1940 0814hrs
Destination: GRID BF28&25

Okay, this is my first TCx1 patrol! I play on 100% realism and if I die, then it`s
over. I`m not a good story teller, so most of this is just plain war diary entries.

I`ll start on a new job on monday, so this will be updated slowly.

October 3

0814hrs - Depart from St. Nazaire, winds at 5m/s, clear skies. Ahead standard.

0845hrs - Submerged to PD to check the pipes for leaks.

0901hrs - Surfaced, no leaks detected.

1042hrs - Shift change in engineroom.

(I`ve made two shifts for engineroom by writing the names of the crew members down
and when someone is tired, I change shifts.)

1st Shift:
A.Thurmann
B.Unterhorst
E.Schendel
E.Cohausz
K.Cohausz
K.Kaufmann
K.Eckel
G.Dobbert

2nd Shift
W.Degen
F.Wissmann
H.Marks
F.Hauber
A.Ebert
E.Geissler
E.Rahn
W.Barsch

Officer in command:
Emmo Rahn

1126hrs - Accidently fired tube 1. (God damn that NumPad Enter!!!)

1216hrs - Shift change.

1238hrs - Submerge for 1 hour, ahead one-third, depth 20 meters.

1330hrs - Surfaced and changed shifts.
(To be continued)


Someone please tell me what to change in the basic.cfg to have my crew be able to work for 6-8hours??

And the $100000 dollar question is:
How come you hit Enter accidentally, when you're not supposed to touch TC+?

[U-104]

[Dowly]

I accidentally pressed it when I pushed the 'del' to remove the HUD.

Can I have the $100000 dollars now?

Sent by courier on a passenger liner from New York. You just have to find him!

:rotfl:

I just sank a passenger liner outbound from New York.




Oops!


Sorry.

In RUB is an alternate basic.cfg file for no time compression playing included..
How about using the whole mod for your patrol?

You won´t have that enter key issue as well along with other nice additions...

Here is the Do-It-Yourself mod to make the key to launch torpedoes change from "Enter" to "Ctrl-Enter".
This virtually eliminates accidental torpedo firings:

In the file SilentHunterIII\data\cfg\commands_en.cfg:
Under "[Cmd 313]", add a letter "c" between the two commas.
It should look like this afterwards:

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,c,"Enter"

It should work similarly for commands_de.cfg.

Sorry.

Steve.... I... I hate you....


@SawDust, thanks!

And about the RuB; I dont use mods that affect the gameplay, only sound & graphic mods.

So, I`m still waiting answer to the crew fatique question.

[CB..]

it's in the data/cfg/basic.cfg look for these entrys

comp (compartment) 6 and 7 are the rest quarters...


i'm using the above entrys as an experiment
all ive done is add a nought to the other compartments fatigue rates
this slows dramatically the rate at which the crew tire--
and increased the recovery rate in the rest rooms
;comp6
SpecificFactor60=-0.3
SpecificFactor61=-0.3
;comp7
SpecificFactor70=-0.3
SpecificFactor71=-0.3
;comp8


these are minus figures..to reduce fatigue over time--

this is a purely personal approach that probably needs tweaking to add a little more fatigue--

but it's all in these entrys so you can experiment to find the levels you find the most appropiate
