[REL] R.S.D. - Reworked Submarine Damage

[Mikemike47]

Download link title at bottom of post #1 says version 5.2.

Once you click on the link, the file name says "R.S.D.- Reworked Submarine Damage v5.3" and version 5.3 is stated in the link title there.

Typo error or what has changed in version 5.3? No 5.3 change log information is given.

Not an error.. I was just too lazy to write one line for change log...

Yes, sry about that, i was a bit confused when i merged main sub gr2 and sensors2.dat.



Its's fixed with v5.3 and, that's it , for now...I think i'll slow down with new updates and let people actually to sail a bit so they could report any strange behavior of the game that could be RSD related...

I'm particularly interested if you experience strange game behavior in following situations:

- CTD or game freeze when equipment is destroyed
- Strange sinking mechanic
- Behavior in the campaign after save/load with destroyed equipment
- If crew reporting detection of radar signals after RWR antenna has been destroyed
- U-boat upgrades, are they properly shown and placed on submarine.

I cant remember anything other than that... R.S.D. only effects U-Boat systems and their damage so any other problem should not be related to this mod ,like CTD when torpedo struck, critical explosion of merchants and so on... I hope this mod will make game more exciting, realistic and challenging...

Merging those files doesn't give any useful information: they are not spatially overlapping. As I have told you yesterday, equipments are linked to unit models through special equipment linking bones

I agree

Any plan for future new features/fixes? Let me know if you have a todo list, for me to look into game files for the feasibility of the planned features

P.S: this is the link to the gun data spreadsheet that I was talking about yesterday:

Tnx Gap, I'll do that...And that document kicks ass...

Glad you like it

Is it possible that your mod conflicts with [R.E.M_by_Xrundel_TheBeast_1.2 - no hyd on surface - NewUIs-IRAI compatible] ?

I get hydro contacts while at flank on the surface

Which hydrophone?

[vdr1981]

Hm... Good find Plj. GHG Hydrophones. Could this be because of new sensor file? You talked something about udate of REM Gap?

The "new" (destroyable) GHG is not affected by R.E.M's tweaks. All other hydrophones are unchanged. I will prepare a R.E.M. patch for R.S.D. (or an R.S.D patch for R.E.M? ) as soon as possible

[vdr1981]

Nice!

Thanks Gap

Great .. I thought I mucked up again :p Thanx gap!

Maybe i could help with REM update if you are busy with something else Gap?

Sorry, today I was too absorbed with our crossed discussions on the forum to work on it.

R.E.M's hydrophone settings are a bit complicated: each sensor got three SensorData controllers, each set for different u-boat depths and detection ranges. Only the first controller is applied for player, whereas the three of them are active for AI sonarman. Nonetheless, they must be sorted in a specific order for them to work together correctly

If you wanted to do the work yourself, you should locate the appropriate controllers in R.E.M's sim file (IIRC I placed them toward the end of the file), paste them in the sim file of the destructible GHG, and change their parent Id to point to the GHG node in the dat file. This is best done in S3d. You should repeat the process for the three versions of R.E.M.

You can have a go at it, if you want, or I can do it myself tonight (in case I stay home), or tomorrow
