CTD on torpedo hit
 

peter,

i got a CTD at the first torpedo hit playing the GFO+Beginners Mod list. I wish i could provide more specific info but there was no extraordinary condition.
s-18 out of manila, dec 12, 1941, location just west of the convoy college, firing standard mark-10 torpedos. the failing module was SHcollisions.act.
brand new install of SH4 1.5 from CDROM. New install of JGSME. All previous SAVEGAMES deleted.

any ideas?:timeout::06:

ok. i'll back out US Torpedo v3 and install v2 and see if that makes a difference.
btw, i am playing a career patrol not a mission. do you think that makes a difference.

so new orders bar is included in max optics?

v2 torp makes no difference at all:i still get the same CTD.
could it be the detonator? i am using the magnetic exploder option on the shot.

detonator doesnt make a difference and neither does the torpedo-mod version. SHcollisions.act does not know how to handle the Mk10 torpedo detonation on a target and abends. i'm stumped. :06:
i am going to try it without a torpedo mod and see what happens.

my install path is:
C:\Ubisoft\SH4\Data


i'm shooting Mark 10's. (S-18 model, man)
the problem seems to be 12 Websters Torpedo v2 or v3.
i got three Mk10 hits without any torpedo mod.
here is the mod list that works.

i would have tried for a photo but there were two DD's who were thinking otherwise.

i looked over the torpedo mods and i didn't see anything that was unusual so as usual we are left scratching our heads. thanks for being patient and listening. i am going to press on with this install-mod-list and sink more ships. AMF.:salute:

mark 14's loaded on S-18
 

peter,

how did mark 14's auto-load onto an s-18 while in port? this happened when i docked after my first manila mission in december 1941. i had 4 mk10's left from the patrol and the mk14's auto-loaded.

You would definitely have a tough time shooting those... It'd take a LOT of polishing of the tubes to get them to slip through... :roll:

Seems to me that changing a torp mod in a career didn't work too well, so you might have to start the career over mark.

The S18 / S42 boats (basically, the same boat) can only take Mark 10 torpedoes. They are a smaller torpedo than the Mark XIV, lengthwise and in diameter. The Mk14 wouldn't even fit on the rails probably, in a Sugar Boat...

The v2 torpedo file only changes the parameters of how big and how strong the damage inflicted by the torpedo is, by a 35% increase. All v3 does is change that to a 50% increase over stock. Neither mod should cause him an issue. Something else in going on, unless... In and of itself, the torpedo mod is not really a big deal, but it is part of the player's boat, and shouldn't be changed while in a career. If he activated the mod ~after~ starting a career, that may have been the issue to begin with. The second situationt that mark bonamer describes (inappropriate torpedo loading) is very similar to what used to happen with v1.3 of the game (or was it v1.2??... :o).

So the question to mark bonamer could be: "Did you activate / de-activate the torpedo mods after starting a career, and then continue with the same career?" However, I cannot remember the "root cause" of the old torpedo issues, and didn't SH3 also have that (inappropriate torpedoes loading)??... A mind is a terrible thing to lose. :har: - perhaps mark bonamer should also check the file structure of the mods, and be certain that he has the "Data" folder where it should be for all of the mods he has in the MODS folder.

I've already tried mine, and no issues. But I did a new career, so later today, I'll do similar and apply the mod after going out, and see what happens.

Edit 1530 hours: I have managed to get myself sunk three times in a row now... I've run up the West coast from Manila and tried to intercept the invasion fleet, and I've struck out all three times... The first try wasn't really close, but I did get to within 2800 yards of the middle of the Troop Transports and shot a four torpedo spead. All missed. Three DD came over to see me, and sank me with their first pass. I mean to tell you, dropped a can not only right above me, but right on me, and 210 foot, below the thermal layer... 2nd time, I was a little further East, and let the DD drive right over the top of me, while I was on silent running and below the thermal. Came up to PD, shot another four torpedo spread with almost a 90 degree AOB, this time from 1200 yards from one Transport, and 800 yards from the 2nd... All missed. "Say whuh?" you say! I know, I know... how?? Picked up their skirts and went beneath them, I guess. But they're Mark 10s... Anyway, just about the time #4 was leaving the tube, we took damage from a DD ramming us, taking the periscopes with him and causing massive quantities of flooding... then the boom boom came, and we never made it out of there in 30 minutes of trying... The third try, I don't really want to talk too much about... :har:... suffice to say, a night surface attack doesn't work so well in GFO... I'm just going to have to take my time on the approaches. I'll post back when I can actually hit something with a torpedo. :salute:
