I also play FOTRSU and I have no graphical problems with the sub skins in that install. I have used DW before and I am not doing anything differently from before so I can't figure out what is causing this. Very frustrating. Thanks.

there are seven models of Type 7. Which one are you driving?
and....what is your current date?

I've tried both a VIIB and VIIC. Early war and in the submarine school.

Is there a way to stop Radio messages resetting TC to 1?, Putting RadioMessages in the main.cfg to a higher number didnt solve it

[propbeanie]

Look in Data \Campaigns \Campaign \messages.txt file, and the "key" is the first line of the file: "#Date (Begin Transmision) Time (Begin Transmision) Date (End Transmision) Time (End Transmision) Message Type ( 0 = transmit once , 1 = transmit until received ) Probability (%) Retransmision Interval (minutes) Priority (0=High 1=Low) @FROM@ ^TO^ &TITLE& [INVOLVED SHIPS,INVOLVED SHIPS] Message content" The file is full of "Tabs" for the columns, and you do not want to "trash" that layout with bad editing, so be careful with the file. But the Priority is the main part that determines how "important" a message is, with High dropping TC. Several approaches:
1 - delete them all, and go with a zero-byte file. No messages, no TC drop.
2 - delete all of the Priority zeroes and make them "1", but there are other zeroes in the file.
3 - find a mod for "less messages" or similar...

Thanks For The Advice PB, But while im at it, Is there a way so you earn Renown For sinking "Neutrals"? Afaik the Basic.cfg isnt actually used being just a leftover from sh3 so changing it there wouldnt do anything. I've ran into the problem of repeated Convoy encounters in 1939/1940 where 80% Of the Ships are "Neutral" Making any attack on the few "legitimate" targets basically impossible and unfun

[propbeanie]

It does use part of the Basic, where there is the -1 for sinking neutrals, which if the ship is worth 400 renown, would then earn you negative 400 renown... that section is indeed still used. But you do have to start a new career, if I remember correctly.

PB has responded with some good gouge.
my version of DW has those messages fixed and will not affect the TC.
would you like to try it?

I would certainly like to try that if you could send me the File

Ah that would explain it, i had edited it to be 1 instead of -1 but i didnt start a new career after doing so, will try that now
Edit:after starting a new Career and going out of my way to sink some neutrals i've come to the conclusion that the filechange didnt work :/

download it from the MODS forum.
apply it with JSGME after the DW mods.
it should not conflict with any other DW mod.

welcome aboard.

when you post a crash or any other problem, you will get a answer faster if you post your JSGME config.
launch JSGME, Tasks, Export To, Clipboard.
then open a post here and paste it (ctrl+v).

Have you enabled Large Address Aware (LAA)? it is table-stakes to play DW and most mega-mods (TMO, RSRD, FOTRSU, et.al.).

into which folder have you installed SH4?

[Awelorn]

Heja


I just did LAA thingy before work just now and it didnt crash.It missed that step
So i guess thats solved it.

Thank you very much for fast replay

[Aktungbby]

Awelorn!...after a twelve-year 'silent run'!

[Awelorn]

Heja


Hahahaha yea I know I made acc here back in a day after i tried to mod SH5.
Been playing SH3 for weeks now and just today after i made it run started SH4 dark waters.I have a quicky tho....is there a way to manulay select hight of periscope like in SH3?So far all i got is raise or lower command but it goes all the way up or down.
Its killing my immersion man!

So this has worked wonderfully thank you a lot The only problem left is that Neutrals still net me negative renown and dont count for tonnage when sinking them,
even though i've changed the Basic.cfg to "Neutrals=1" And started a new Career for it, Any thoughts?
