Dual 5 Inch Deck Gun Crew Question
I'm in a Balao out of Guam in late 1944. After last patrol, I purchased the available 5 inch deck gun upgrade that offers both a bow and a stern gun. I've done this in past careers and don't recall if I had (or even noticed) an issue with the gun crews. The bow gun has slot for 4 crew on the crew page. The stern gun only has slots for 3 crew. I've checked the ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc file and both guns reflect crew slots for 4. Hoping maybe PropBeanie has an idea of whether this is an issue or intended behavior for one gun to only have 3 crew members. If that is the case, I wonder why the file reflects 4 slots for bot the bow and stern guns?

Blackscreen crash upon loading in patrol
Hello everybody!
I've made an account just for this mod I'm having the exact same issue as Brooksie mentioned here above. Same error message with the fog (which is now deactivated) and the game blackscreens the moment you'd appear in your submarine. Sometimes a small error message pops up after the blackscreen which just says error. I am also using the Steam version 1.5 of SH4 - U-boat missions. I've made sure to install the game on a separate drive and deleted everything in documents/SH4 prior and after mod activation. SH4 1.5 runs fine without the mod. Thanks and kind regards! |

Still not exactly sure what was off in the upc file I shared above. I looked over the Compartment 7 and 8 data numerous times and couldn't find any obvious reason the 4th crew member wasn't showing for aft gun in dual gun mode. The way I resolved it was to go back to my entering port save when I last returned from patrol with my existing single 5 inch bow gun. I then switched to single aft gun from single bow gun while in port and saved. At this point, the aft gun crew members showed the proper 4 positions in the crew page. I then purchased the dual deck guns again, but now with existing stern gun instead of bow gun as the starting point. The 4 aft crew member slots still showed properly, but no slots for additional bow gun. I saved again, opened the upc and removed all the additional repository comments from the entries for the bow gun crew in compartment 8, reloaded the saved game with the dual deck guns, and then all 8 crew slots for bow and stern guns appeared appropriately on the crew page. I started the next mission, manned up both 5 inch deck guns and both twin 40mm AA guns, everyone appeared where they should, and all was good. I printed out the current active player upc and will sit down when I have time and do a line by line comparison with the original (bad) upc posted above to see if I can find what's different between the 2 versions in sections 7 and 8. Will let you know.

I also did not see any "AdditionalRepository" entry in your Compartment 7, which is the Aft gun. This is part of the problem with the game, in that you sometimes just never know when it will flip a couple of bits in the Save data that just messes with our heads, and you might never find the issue, since maybe it was a alloc / malloc problem. Who knows.
One thing we do know is that if a submarine came with an Aft gun, is that if you previously moved the gun forward to a bow mount, that anytime you go to do an "upgrade", it is a good idea to move the gun back to the aft mount before proceeding with an upgrade. You are also advised to remove the gun crew from ALL guns and place them back in their original locations, or in the Damage Control Team slots for "safe-keeping". It does not happen as often as it used to, but back when, you might lose the gun crew altogether somewhere in the digital etherworld of nowheresville. All of this was the idea behind placing reminder green circles around the sub ports, in that if you save outside that "busy" area when coming into port, you have something to fall back on. We should - forgiving the RAM-state of the grey matter at this end of the mod - have the circles around all potential home ports for the next release, and a combined User's Manual with a TOC and Index (we hope). That would have a section devoted to this issue and other frustrating aspects of the SH4 game. |

Yeah. The original issue of the one missing crew member for the aft gun wasn't an "additionalrepository" issue. That was actually what I was expecting when I first looked in the file...to just find one of the crewman positions with additional repository text in it. Anyway, basically did what you said; I went back in time and swapped deck gun back to original aft position first, then purchased dual guns again. This time I got the guns, but only crew for one gun, but was able to quickly fix that through removal of additionalrepository from the crew positions in the second compartment. That I understood, and could resolve. Done it many times. However, the one completely missing crewman from my original post is still just a great mystery that Sherlock friggin' Holmes could probably never solve.

I just noticed that there is no exhaust smoke in as much that the Balao is concerned. I don't know about the other classes. It's the case for both regular skin's and the 4k skin's. Did anyone notice this before?

Torrent option
Hello everyone, I was wondering if there was a way to add a torrent option for FOTRSU. I am currently posted somewhere that has power supply issues and the traditional download is reset whenever the power goes out due to lost internet connection.
If not, I'll keep trying the traditional way. Thank you for your time in compiling this great mod. |

Thank you, I would appreciate it. I haven't tried using a download manager, but the split archive would be helpful. I have fast internet, through the Subsim servers I get normally ~100 kb/s, which means the power goes out long before it's finished. Thank you again. |
