CTD - it's not just a job
|
It can be fiddly getting things to spawn, with one little thing off ruining the efforts. Make certain the Mission date itself up top in the text of the mis file header is correct. Make certain the GameEntryDate is far enough past the intended date of use of the mis file, make certain the GameAvailabilityDate is far enough forward of the intended date of use of the mis file, and that the CfgDate matches that AvailabilityDate. If testing in a SingleMission, be sure you are using a Start Date for that which incorporates all of the above. If doing it in the Campaign, be sure the Flotillas and PatrolObjectives assignment dates cover the intended period properly. The holds true if it assigned in the DynamicMiss cfg file. Any one of those three can also upset the intended "balance" that you're after in the mis file...

Upgrade on a S-42 Boat
Career Start April 1942 in Brisbane driving an S-42 class boat.
there are three conning towers available: original, SClassConning1 mid-42, SClassConning2 mid-43, SClassConning3 the first upgrade was available directly after our first mission. it took five missions to get it. mission ratings were, in order, 1,0,2,1,1 upgrade took place November 15, 1942 after mission #5. i also discovered that using jimimadrid's excellent Torpedo Graphics mod with FOTRSU 1.8 works just fine with a Gato, Balao, etc, it causes CTD when you are driving a S-42 Boat. Weird but true. Since those graphics are included in 1.8, it was simple to drop the mod. Not sure why i was using it...probably a vestige of a previous release of FOTRSU.

it was only the S-42 that caused the CTD. as soon as i backed out jimi-torpedo, things ran swimmingly. as i said, weird. good thing that the torpedo mod is already embedded in FOTRSU 1.8.

jimimadrid's torps are in FotRSU v1.8 already. We had to make slight ID changes in the torpedo files to avoid an ID conflict between the US and the German torpedoes, which was the cause of the CTD. Should work fine in FotRSU... maybe... lol

with the upgrade, came the inevitable SH4 changes, one of which was the replacement of the installed 4 inch bow deck gun with the older 3 inch bow deck gun. so, i swapped the 4 incher back on board and, of course, lost my crew for it. well, we know how to fix that () however when i edited the ActiveUserPlayerUnit file, i found something expected. the gun crew labels were typical: [UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 6.CrewMemberSlot 1]however when you page down to the Functional Subsytem area, the crew is represented by a whole, different set of labels. [UserPlayerUnit 1.FunctionalSubsystem 37]i've never experienced this before and so i do not know if it is SH4 or FOTRSU 1.8 that is causing the mismatch. i'll leave that to the FOTRSU team. i think i can fix this manually, by replacing the labels in the Functional Subsytem area with the crew labels in the Compartment area. CrewMemberSlot_ADGunL should be CrewMemberSlot_DGunL1 etc,etc,etc. p.s. my fix worked.

Equatorial 03
just completed Objective 1 and started towards Objective 2 and bang...CTD.
no one was near us, we were standing still, i pressed the Plot Course buttons (which i have used constantly), the system gave a little rattle and...gone. i rebooted but it did not make a difference. already completed Equatorial 01 & 02. never had that happen before...

Well, same ole same old questions, where abouts were you Lat/Long, what day and time, which boat, and are you in the career, or doing a test mission?
The original mis file itself has five objectives, with 2 of them hidden, the one hidden being the actual 2nd objective to patrol around the Admirality Islands on the way to the Equator, which looks like the 2nd objective when leaving Brisbane. So were you headed to what shows to be the 2nd objective when you leave Brisbane (the equator), or the 2nd objective (Admiralities), which pops up when you finish near Rabaul? |

S-42 class boat sixth mission in a career Quote:
i say that because the game CTD'd every time i moved after receiving the next objectives orders. (we were parked as the objective expired) i edited the mission (equatorial 03) and re-sequenced the objectives/triggers/events somewhat, such that when i re-launched and re-loaded the saved-mission to get you the info you requested, i was able to move without CTD. yes, i realize that i am heading into shoal-waters if i continue trying to play a reload of a changed mission but it kinda-sorta gives credence to my original premise that the objectives/triggers/events are somewhat out-of-sync. i am going to re-start this mission from port and see what happens.

unknown damage to sonar
so, this is a first: we took damage from a depth charge attack. almost all of the equipment in the control room was damaged as well as the forward compartments including the battery and the sonar/hydrophone.
every piece of equipment was repaired according to the systems screen however, the next interaction we had with enemy shipping, it was discovered that we could not longer detect shipping with our hydrophone. so, it seems, like the torpedo tubes, that there is a piece of equipment that is undocumented but still damagable, that can prevent the hydrophones from working. i am going to save-exit-reload and see if that fixes it, just in case this is a SH4 "feature". p.s. save-exit-reload did not re-enable the hydrophone, so it must be damaged beyond repair. i looked at the S-42 upc and there is only two pieces of equipment: the listening gear set and the passive sound head (ball) and both have an entry in the system's equipment display. question: where would one find the undocumented piece of hydrophone equipment that was damaged beyond repair but is not to be seen during play, if it is not in the UPC file?

Milne to Dutch Harbour
pb,
why is there no message of base transfer for an S-boat from Milne Harbour to Dutch Harbour in late November 1943? km

S-42 to ???
i was driving a S-42 boat late November 1943.
while on patrol, we took horrific damage, 87%, and still managed to make it back to port, although we had to go the long way to get there (Milne to Dutch Harbour). upon arrival we were given the choice of ending our naval career or taking a new command. we took the latter. imagine our surprise when our new command was a S-18 boat! and....our late-1943 S-Boat came with the original conning tower and not with the January 1943 conning tower. Go figure... now, i have to say at this time that all boats share the same Upgrade Class, but i am still in wonder at the choice that SH4 made for a replacement. i suspect that the S-18 will be retired early in 1944 so it will be interesting to see what choice, if any, will be able when that happens.
