when you post a problem such as this you need to include your JSGME game config. Launch JSGME then Tools-Export to-Clipboard. then open a post here and paste it (ctrl+v). |
Thanks for heads up..
Actually I'm using OvGME for activating mods. So I don't have this tools menu. But I can post here the correct paths on my system. C:\Games\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific Gold Edition\MODS The mod itself in the MODS directory is: FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.8 With all the Data, Extras, MODS and Support and files inside. |

I think I found what's wrong.
I was using an older saved campaign... When I started a new one with the MOD enabled everything works as it should. |
Torpedoes changing on their own
this one has me baffled. we are 11 or 12 missions into a Gar career. it is late 1943.
as we leave on patrol, our torpedo load looks like this: https://i.ibb.co/SyyVcwP/Inport-Torpedos.png as soon as we shove off on patrol, tubes 1-4 change loads: https://i.ibb.co/4tQ2ghQ/Patrol-Torpedos.png i've been trying to figure out which torpedoes are the stowaways without any luck. i THINK they are German. the big question is: why the sudden change? i have already deleted the Save Folders and it made no difference. then i removed all mods after 410_Strategic_Map_Symbols and it made no difference. then i started the next mission and saved it, exited, and browsed the save file for ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc. Tubes 1-4 are still loaded with Mk18's....even though they appear in the game as German T1(G7a).

If the Tambor boat performs correctly under similar conditions, then let developers make NSS_Gar.upc from the NSS_Tambor.upc file. There are several lines to change in the NSS_Tambor.upc file, and rename file in NSS_Gar.upc of course. Or make NSS_Gar.upc from another 'working' *.upc file of other boats, but it will be more difficult. |

but, thanks for the suggestion! :Kaleun_Salute: |

i think that the activeuserplayerunits file was corrupted a couple of missions ago when our sub was wrecked and we were given a Porpoise as an "upgrade". i had to edit the activeuserplayerunits file to bring my old crew to my new boat and i must have messed up during the multiple-copy-paste operations. thanks for the hints, though. never thought that jimi's Sailors Mod would have torpedo files. maybe the version i am using included the new torpedos files and later versions did not have that included. i'll check out the current version. :Kaleun_Salute: p.s. the current Sailors Mod does NOT have torpedoes files. i will swap it out with the rebuilt config. |
Here is the original "find" KM, from back in June of 2023:
FotRSU Post 5525So jimimadrid's torpedo mod works fine in SH4 and most other mods, but FotRSU has several files that have different IDs for some equipment. There-in lies the rub. With his torpedo mod in FotRSU, the ID actually calls the G7a torpedo for Tubes 1-4, like you are driving a Type VIIC... Leave the torpedo files out of the crew management mod, and the base jimimadrid files already in FotRSU will do appropriate calls, since we edited the ID numbers. :salute: |

In the NSS_Tambor.sim file for all TA indicate German T1 torpedoes. Start a new career on the Tambor boat in 1944-1945, go to sea and see what kind of torpedoes do you have? Then start a new career on the Gar boat in 1944-1945, go out to sea again and look at the torpedoes again. If both Tambor and Gar work, then you have ruined the game recordings. If Tambor works but Gar does not, then there is an error in the NSS_Gar.upc file. It won’t take much time, but you will know exactly who is to blame. |

I couldn't figure out what was missing in the original file NSS_ShchX.upcge in order for everything to work correctly. As a result, I changed the file NSS_ShchVbis2.upcge (from the working boat 'SHCHuka Vbis2') for the boat 'SHCHuka X series'. But I won’t say anything; things may be different for you. |

i backed out all of the mods in my list and ran with Stock and still had the german fish in tubes 1-4. somehow, the career save file got corrupted. i am blaming myself since i am the CO. so, i restarted my career with a same boat class in approximately the same time period with a new d/l of the sailor's mod which does not have the torpedo files and things are off to a good start. :Kaleun_Salute: |
armed merchies
hey PB,
are any IJN merchies armed with torpedoes? km |
Not that I recall... but the Armed Merchant might be... :hmmm:

we met up with a small convoy....one escort. leading. we torpedoed her and the first two ships in the port column. since it was a dark night, we surfaced and attacked the remaining merchies. a minute or so after we sank the last merchie, we suffered a devastating hit from somewhere and we went down the black hole of death. Anastasia, Hakko, Tyohei, & Seiko & Heito. (comments added) we were west of the Marianas and there were no a/c detected while we on the surface. not sure from where the lethal blow came and still trying to figure that one out. |
That is one of those times, where if you're fast enough, you Save the game, and then you can go back in and review. Now, what you describe leaves two possibilities, both of which I have encountered. The first is that you torpedoed the escort, and it had not fully sunk yet, and being armed with torpedo tubes, was able to get off a spread at your boat. We'll call that unlikely. The second possibility is "friendly fire", from your own boat, with a circle runner. While the Mark 18 did most of the circle runs, the 14 was not immune to them. In fact, none of the US torpedoes were immune to them, since they did not use vane limiters on their rudders. Even the stock game with "Dud torpedoes" turned off will still throw a circle runner your way every few thousand of shots. That would be my guess of the source of your torpedo impact. I have a video somewhere of a torpedo doing 3 or 4 circles near my boat before it ran out of fuel. I almost did not get away from it. I also have several videos where I did not get away, but in most instances, I was hit on the first circle... :oops:

Sneaky Pete
It's early 1944, and we are on patrol north and west of Saipan, just cruising looking for traffic.
i step away for two minutes and Sneaky Pete comes up from our stern and pumps a round into us. Sneaky Bastage. well, we dive as quickly as we can because he has launched a fish at us. we dive to 150 feet, wait for the torpedo to pass us then back to periscope depth. then.... we go on the attack. https://i.ibb.co/PD8TsRf/SH4-Img-202...-51-21-340.png https://i.ibb.co/pPtzGvL/SH4-Img-202...-51-32-406.png https://i.ibb.co/7ySkKQD/SH4-Img-202...-51-41-980.png https://i.ibb.co/0DCZgsd/SH4-Img-202...-52-36-619.png sneak up on us, eh? |
Hello, how can I view the dates of when various equipment becomes available?
