No fuel tanks on new Narwhal

Berneri · 04-24-18, 09:35 AM

Hi all, was just enjoying the new Narwhal in TMO 2.5 (with the patch to make the new Narwhal compatible with it, modified to allow for crew berthing) and got heavily DC'ed. Engine room flooded, electrical and diesel engines to repair as well as bulkhead. Managed to repair and evade the escorts (bad weather must have screwed their sonar, because I wasn't especially silent will all the repairs and me avoiding to sink) but I noticed that I had no damage to fuel tanks (usually the thing I look first, because it may well mean a premature career end)… And indeed no fuel tanks. Looked into the upc of both new narwhal and new narwhal for TMO 2.5 and found nothing of the sort. Did you see it as well? If I had a tank in the relevant upc file, will it get damaged as well or does the zon file need to be modified as well?

Many Thanks

It sounds like you're using the Bonus Mod Narwhal with the add-in for TMO, correct? Or are you using the TMO kit-bashed Narwhal, and trying to put the Bonus Mod graphics stuff on top?

Which version of Silent Hunter 4 are you running, and what directory are you installed in? Thanks!

Yes, I'm using the bonus mod with the tmo add-in and the graphic support. This is on sh4 1.5 modded with Tmo2.5, tmo small patch, rescue sub for tmo, dgt pk fix (easy aob) and the 3000 yard bearing plotter. Sh4 is a steam version in the program files directory in a 32 bits wine prefix with wine-staging 3.6 (I'm playing sh4 on Linux). Also, I used laa to avoid crashes.

And of course all mods installed through jgsme.

OK. If you had the game there on a Windows macine, there'd be problems, but Linux & Wine, no issue...

I haven't had a chance to look at my TMO install yet, at the Bonus Narwhal, but try backing-off Rescue Sub - you might have to de-activate the others after it, and then re-activate them. The Rescue Sub might change sub files that would be different with the Bonus Narwhal.

Would the use of the LAA app matter in Linux?

Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow. As for LAA, yes it matters, at least in my hands.There was no way for me to run a game with the 3000 bearing plotter otherwise. Plus, I had random CTDs or things not rendered properly. It's gone now, much to my surprise I'll admit. On the other hand, the program thinks it runs under windows...

That's right... The program doesn't know where it is. So LAA lets it use more RAM, just like it does in Windows. Even LAA thinks it's on Windows!...
