I wasn't satisfied with some of mine settings/tweaks from v1.05 so I'm uploading quick No. 03 update.
Also, I've noticed that number of main mod downloads is approximately 2x times larger than number of update downloads which indicates to me that many players are not aware of TWoS regular updates. Please, spred the word about the updates and make sure to periodically check SH5 megamod download section. Link for download can also be found in my signature...
The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Update No. 01/02/03 changelog:
Snapshot changes:
-
Remark: Since TWoS v1.05 "
Carriers/Airbases launch aircraft when contact detected" patches are disabled by default because of suspicion that these are responsible for planes overspawn bug which can corrupt game saving function. However, this may not be true so If you wish, you can manually enable these patches at your discretion and report any findings in TWoS home thread. Note that "
Carriers/Airbases launch aircraft" related patches can be found in two sections of
TDW Generic Patcher application (
sh5 and
shsim).
Other tweaks:
- No funny looking bandages on wounded crew. Instead, when injured, crew icon will turn red...
- Few tuning tweaks in Sim.cfg and Airstrike.cfg files.
- Maximum displayed gameplay realism percentage for "Non-RealNav" players or for those who use optional "Wind & Smoke" addon is tuned up to 70%. This should also affect renown bonuses...
- Tweaked renown values for merchants: Tankers and large troop transport ships are now significantly more valued than regular cargo ships.
- Compatibility tweaks for "A Fistful of Emblems v1.51" mod
- Stock IRAI 0.0.41 settings in Airstrikes.cfg file. It seems that my tweaks were causing unrealistically high number of airplanes spawned in players area even without player detection/radio message interception.
- Stock IRAI 0.0.41 sensors dificulty settings in Init.aix file. If you wish you can experiment with alternate settings.
- Few tweaks in rec.manual, ship pictures.
- New paint variation for Medium Composite Merchant.
