But that is how it functions (at least as far as I got it ) Once you've chosen a playable sub it'd be listed in the drop-down menu in these mission, in which you are allowed to choose from different subs. In this case you'll see different boats from the same class that was originally assigned to this given mission. In addition to this, there will couple of boats from the most recent class you've just made playable using SCU changer. AFAIU it is impossible to have the above PLUS one more playable class that you could choose.

|
|
I followed instructions to install the mods, the folders for user subs were created, the .ini file was changed, and when I run the .exe to pick an Upholder class sub it says 'success'.
However, when I create a scenario with it, the message on loading the new scenario is that 'no user playable sub selected'. Is it just me?
I'd really like to get this working. All help would be appreciated. |

You are ensuring to make the sub "Controllable" in it's property pages when you create the mission, correct? You won't see that option unless you have ALREADY selected the sub with SCU, THEN create the mission. New property pages will appear for the sub when it is placed on the map. Hope that helps.

|

Thanks for the advice, but I still cannot make my Upholder playable. I deleted the User folders, installed the playablesubs patch again.
There was a message that I am not running version 1.07. True. I have version 1.08 - just installed before doing the SCX and SCU stuff.
There is no option in the property pages of Upholder to make it playable.
Should I revert back to version 1.07 ??? |

|

I dunno if this is just me or what, but here goes....
I have recently started replaying SC single-player and having a ball (as USA). Obviously the first mission is the "sneak up on the SAG and by-the-way there is an akula out there." After you've played it for the upteenth time, you pretty much know the Akula is roughly NE of your start and it's just a matter of getting the TA and all that situated to catch him.
Normally what I did and still do is PD the two SAG ships, ease past them on 000 and then locate the Akula. Sometimes I'm past the time marker when I locate the sub, sometimes I find him right away.
But the other night with SCXIIc I couldn't hear him at all. And, finally, when it was way past time for the mission to end, I turned truth on and I had run over him without detecting him whatsoever according to his history and my own. I dont remember if I'd been counterdetected or not. Now... detecting while standing over this guy at 4 knots shouldn't be all that hard, should it? Or is this how it is intended to operate? Cuz I shudder at the thought of SP combat now. 
I reinstalled to a different directory and am not experiencing that same thing with vanilla 1.08, btw.
Any insight?

| This happened to me too! Same mission and with the seawolf. NEVER happened in any other mission or boat. I guess it's the mission itself that is bugged, just as the campaign mission 3 (Udaloy missile launch) is bugged. |

| So, other than the Udaloy, everything works as planned with SCX, right? |

| What's the latest SCU news? Anyone know if work is continuing, or are we waiting for DW? |

If people really want to use nukes then I suggest that they modify the damage value of the various weapons to 5000. You should then have no problem taking out a carrier group with one torp. After playing a few such scenarios, I think you will find them rather boring.
cheers, jsteed |
I've altered the damage of a TASM to 5000 and was only able to take out a single ship and do no damage to the ones close in...I have this scenario that is based off the Kilo attacking the fictional USS Thomas Jefferson from Nimitz Class by Patrick Robinson. As I mentioned, even with the damage set to 5000 I haven't been able to damage the ships close in to the CV let alone anything else...well...except the one ship I hit...per missile...

| I'm also curious how I would go about adding a sub or two to the list of changeable subs for use with SCU...and...why are there subs on that list that don't exist anywhere in SC1.08/SCXIIc? |

So what subs are these then ???
If you take a look here
http://www.ramiusscx.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/scu.php
ALL SCU playable are previewed.
If your meaning things like the Atilay, Cakra etc then i think you'll find they are in the SCX IIc  Otherwise you wouldnt be able to play as them would you :nope: :nope:

| It's much clearer now that I know that some of the names on the list are actually names of partiular subs and not sub classes... |

The process for adding new playable into SCU is not an easy one. If i remember rightly it involves editing dll files etc that are used with the game 
As far as i know JSteed is the only person able to do this
