You like the old version better Sober? .I think the new is nice. It should work fine with your modlist too. I use PD there, but also there heavy seas is a problem since I now use Obsscope. Most cosmetic as I see it since never anything around. The Obsscope should be used (historicly) to angle it to look for airplanes. Dont even think airplanes gets reported while submerged.
I seem to remember I had to be at 10 m depth for obsscope to reach surface though when using ur modlist. Could set specific depth instead of pd or sd but of course pd with attackscope should work fine for all even in rough seas.
However the new patrolareascripts that lurk around and up to breath is very nice. I could add them to the old 4x. some day also put PD instead of snorkeldepth. Its just boring...

OK , I just changed the snorkel depth to periscope depth . For my own personal use of course .

Great thats what I like ppl to do . Would recommend to copypaste the pa section from the wosupdate . Can just put them all in the bottom.
Feel free to distribute ur version via ur modlist too. It s actually Trevallys scripts I started to twist, add and substract with. He gave me permition.

For all others ...just rename the fileextention from .sha to .txt and do changes. Rename it back to .sha and try. Theres a .txt backup in documentationfolder. the mod must be deactivated while changes are made and then reactivated. Theres no prob having the mod in the end of any list I would think. it just changes that file.

I have a couple variations myself.

rpm inertia patch script

[Husksubsky]

wow exiting will try as soon as I can
Looked through them . Nice job I will add it. The only thing I see as a problem, is that battery charge might not be initiated if its at 64 x already. Thats why I have a 300 sec step in 32x. However I don t think I had that problem running ur list so it s probably a different setting in TWOS. My newest mod is after all called WOS tuned.

Husk's,

Sorry I didn't back to you sooner....i've been away from SH5 for many months. I've updated to WOS 1.04 and things seem a little better with your scripts. I am not modding type and would never try to manually mod something as I for sure would screw it up. lol.

Any....the FE No station (aka Point A to Point B hydro search) 128/4TC seems to almost be perfect now....but still am not getting back to my base course 100% of the time. Now it varies from 2 degrees to 5 degrees left of base course.

It's not really a big deal now...since I would only have to correct my course maybe every 5th iteration ....vice 2...which I guess i'm not too picky about. Thanks again!!!

And now I been away months
I must admit I didn t test all 128/4 but they should have same timings as the others wich I tested and worked. if I used 90 degrees both ways it would divert one degree and I compensated for that. still some of mine too go one, but only one degree left. Maybe all computers are unique .
Must add that it does not work properly for type A.
Maybe my experienced crew fulfills orders faster? turn boat faster? I never put points in turn boat faster.
I will look into it again cause I need fix tc1 anyway. Forgot surface run there

[Husksubsky]

It turns left 3 to five degrees. It didnt with my twos 1.03 install. I ll fix it together with the tc1 option where I forgot surface run.

on = On Station. Meaning part of the script is physically going to the Hydrophone station (and periscope as a pre surfacing check) to "watch" the script run the hydrophone loop (this may or may not be redundant...but may add immersion factor for some people. The AI might miss a contact as well that you may see using this type of script I think..not positive).

no = No Station. Meaning it skips the sequence of going to the station and lets the AI do the sweeps (which it should be doing all the time since the hydrophone guy never stops using the hydrophone even on the surface (bug)).

Edit: This is what Husks wrote in the first post: "My thought is that the no station is for travelling in potential enemy waters and the on station in "target areas" where high frequence of searching is advisable." So ON = more searches and NO = less frequent searches

x = compressed. Meaning a sped up version of an On station script to speed up the processes of watching the Hydrophone/scope


FE = Fuel Efficient. Just slows the transit speed between sound checks to save fuel...but not as effective at covering more area at higher speed. So sacrifice size of area searched for maximizing fuel efficiency.

PA ? I have no Idea. I think the descriptions could use some work...or maybe the titles.

ST Station maybe?

[finchOU]

Is the reasoning behind the "On station" autoscripts to make sure your Hydrophone guy doesn't miss contacts? I used to do my own hydrochecks (like SH3 when you could hear contacts the AI couldn't), but I don't do that anymore.

I guess what I'm saying/asking is: Is there a need to go to the Hydrophone station? The guy never stops scanning (unless "follow nearest sound contact" is clicked. So as soon as you are below 15 Meters, the sound guy should start calling out new contacts. Obviously going to "all stop" and getting below 30 meters (and baffles check) increases your chances of the guy hearing a contact.

I think there is a difference in how the hydrophone works in SH5 verse SH3. In SH3...I was rewarded for doing my own sound checks. I'd be able to pick up very faint (long distance) ships that the AI guy couldn't detect and if I wasn't very careful and listening very closely I too would miss the sound contact. In SH5 at the very least, if ANY sound was audible, a "unknown" description would automatically pop up...thus killing the need for me to do it myself. Is this true? or are there sounds I'm missing? I liked the way SH3 did that...but in the end it was very time consuming and my Wife would look at me weird when I turned the volume WAY up to try and pick out those contacts.

So my point being.....why do "on station" checks at all if sound guy gets it all in the first place?


Are there any "pattern" searches that I'm missing from Husks? I only find the Trevally pattern searches...which seem to use too much fuel for my liking.

Lastly...after looking at the commands... is there a need to use command Hydrophone_normal_sweep,0,0,0,0,0,0,30....given that the sound guy is always doing sweeps? I can only see this being a problem if you assign the guy to follow nearest contact and doesn't go back to Normal sweep.

Been away a while. Sorry for the mod being made and described as messy as the authors head in general.

everything on station checks are just eyecandy/atmosphere candy. I just like them.
I hope they still work as intended. when boat characteristic performancewise change in the mod , funny things might happen to the timings.
Those 30secs checking is also a part of letting the boat get time to get to correct course and to stay a bit at intended depth. No command for magnetic course I think just degrees port and starboard. No matter where the seconds are put, compressed or tc1, the boat need a certain time to get to course. Speed of boat is also a factor here thats why it speeds up just upon diving in FE fuel efficient search(hopefully recharged cause that also affect speeds)

Pa is patrolarealurk, wasnt that obvious? :O. Just baffles around without suffocating and just long enough surface run to recharcge. Again sorry its so messy.

I have never made any patternsearch since they used all my fuel in those areas.

As names had to be different and varied in size things got out of hand and my namings went hayway as I tried to keep them short enough.

On station search or on st is on station visualized in game
no station or no st is no station visualized, but of course the guy is there.
fe fuel efficient
d for deep sh for shallow
pa patrolarea
x was just for compressed.
