We really need an update on this mod, I don't understand why this is not in the vanilla game

Looking forward for updates! great work!

Release update? ... and your other wonderful mods <grin> I mean its ONLY been a week... <grin> Seriously thank you for all your hard work - very much looking forward to all the mods being updated.

Thank you, works fine for me now :) I just wish that the real life north sea & atlantic isn't as big as it actually is xD

@General Kreutaa
unfortunately I can not create a standalone MOD. Double maintenance work for errors and new features in the MOD.
You can open the MODConfig.xlsx file with Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice (free version) and set the value from 1 to 0.
You can find the right "Data Sheets" folder in the Steam system folder. For me it looks like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\2618451929\Data Sheets\
The numbers are definitely different for me than yours, but you can easily find the right MOD via the "preview" image.
I hope that this explanation will help you and I'm happy to have found another crazy skipper who plays in "real time" ;)

Good hunting,
Alligator

Doesn't work for me. I want to play in real time (yeh i know, crazy) but I cannot change it in the modconfig in the localnow folder.. could you load it up as a standalone mod?

It works with 2022.1

Doesn't seem to be working with 2022.1

I don't know if it has been updated, but it works with 2022.1.

is this updated for the latest patch? its an amazing mod and the most useful for me!

Hi Alligator,
Proposal : it would be great if this mod pauses the game when receiving an incoming BdU message !

Hi and nice job,
I have this mod installed for some time now but I almost never use it. I got be honest, to me the best use for this mod would be mostly for long travels that´s when I take advantage of the time to do something afk but the time compression rendering unusefull it is an huge limitation to the mod capabilities and usage.
Would be a Must Have for sure if it was possible to have the Skipper online and still use time compression to go faster than real time. Even if limited to x48 or x140 would be awesome.

Note: It´s a bit confusing the link for Start/Stop Alarm mod in the description
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2412840333
taking me to a mod similar to the one I already have for a while
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2606301546
Compatibilty seems fine with the mod I have(2nd link) and the description on it actually lists the previous versions and the most recent compatible aswell, so I guess it´s fine and about the same?!

New MOD Update 1.0 Beta 03 hotfix 2:

The crew's automatic shutdown of the trim pump has been deactivated.
So the bilge does not fill up so quickly when you play in real time in heavy seas for example.

Greetings,
Alligator

Thanks Alligator

New MOD Update 1.0 Beta 03 hotfix 1:
- Compatible with UBoat version B131

This version is no longer compatible with older UBoat versions (e.g. B129, B130).
I therefore recommend using the release update B131 to be able to play this MOD.
I don't think there is any need to maintain an "old" version of this MOD.

If you discover bugs, please report them in the "Bugs and suggestions" section.
Many Thanks.

Good hunting,

Alligator

Dear skipper friends,

thanks for your support.
I will update the MOD for the new version B131 in the next few days

I wish you a merry christmas!

Alligator

bump: is a B131 update needed for this mod?

Thanks. As it turns out, there may be no problem. There was a detection that happened as I was trying to activate Standby, and I missed it. More play testing to be done.

@r6751
you can send me the file via "Discord". You will find me with the same name "Alligator".
Or you upload the file to a file server like "Dropbox" and send me the download link.
THX and Greetings,
Alligator

OK. Found the saved games. Next dumb question: How do I send it to you?

@r6751
to find on this location:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\LocalLow\Deep Water Studio\UBOAT\Saves\

THX ;)

Greetings,
Alligator

I would send a save game,but can't find where they are.

@r6751
can you send me your save file in this case?
Could be an other value is triggered like the mod description.

Greetings,
Alligator

Mine turns on, but goes to pause immediately - no contacts. 5 6 tries same result.

@all
MOD should be compatible with version B130.
I will test this completely and make another info and MOD adjustment if this is necessary (like Launcher "outdated" textmessage).

Greetings,
Alligator

Haha I raise and lower the flag and walk to the map area before opening my map, but even I can't do no compression at all. Will use for lunch breaks nice you can turn it on and off.

@urseus
The skipper standby mode is mainly used when, for example, you have to eat something and want to keep the game running.
Regarding "only" real time function, there are people who really play it that way ;)

Greetings,
Alligator

How does this work exactly when it's days and days sometimes to travel. Like I'm all about the realism but surely you cant have a fun few hours playing if it's litterally going from 1 grid to the next over 12 real time hours. Theres not enough to do on the ship.

thank you for the beard growth \o/

New MOD Update Version 1.0 Beta 03:
- No quick beard growth when playing in "no time compression" mode (setting in MODConfig file).
In vanilla, the entire crew got a full beard after about 1/2 day ;)

Greetings,
Alligator

@r6751
What doesn't appear in the game?
Isn't he loading the MOD?
Or don't you find the symbol.
If it is the symbol that you are missing, you also need the MOD "Custom Actions" here.

Subscribed to this, but it isn't appearing in the game.

@Hard,
Cool work, thx

Hi. Added Russian localization.

Highly recommend for elitist Thomsen-like-drunks. There is no such thing as micromanaging at these speeds. 100% pure simulation.

@PJCham
Gladly. In fact, a lot of users have reported who use the Skipper standby function more.
For the real-time players this can be adjusted in the MODConfig file.
I hope that this is okay for all users.

Greetings,
Alligator

The change is much appreciated. Thanks. Hopefully, it doesn't inconvenience those who prefer to always run the game in real time.

@milon
I can certainly increase the value to make the game mechanics more meaningful.
Thank you for your input and for helping to improve the MOD ;)

@all
Thanks for your appreciation ;)

Greetings,
Alligator

Hello Alligator,

It's a very great mods.

I have just a question. Is it possible to increase the compartment water limit at 10m3? Because, 1.5m3 is very short. With door close, I reached this limit after one game hour. I had a bad weather.

Or, (I don't know if it's easy to do that), to be able to change this value in MODConfig?

It's an open question ^^

Greetings,

RJ

Youre a gentleman and a scholar. This is a legendary mod. Thank you so much.

Super, danke Alligator für die Mühe.

New MOD update version 1.0 Beta 02:
- Time compression is enabled by default
- When activating the Skipper standby mode, a text message appears.

Please note: Since several users wished to only use the Skipper standby mode "with" time compression. I have set the value "Time compression allowed" as the standard value in the MODConfig file. If you do not want time compression, you can change this as usual in the MODConfig file.

Good hunting,
Alligator

Thanks. It will allow me to speed things up at night so I can get some sleep.

@PJCham
With pleasure, this request has also come from other users. I will change this accordingly. Then the standard version will be in time compression, and for the Hardcore Freeks, the time compression can be switched off in the MODConfig file.

Greetings,
Alligator

Would it be possible to change the mod so that it re-enables time compression when you turn off the Skipper Standby mode at the light switch? That way, it would save me from having to fool around with any xlsx files.

Oh boy. Reminds me of my SHIII days.

Wie für mich gemacht.

Funktioniert für mich, danke Alligator

LOL this is starting to get outta hand ! :)

@Kaleu
Mittels des MODConfig Files kannst du das bei meinem MOD einstellen. Du kannst mir gerne im Steam Chat schreiben. Hier kann ich dir es genauer erklären ;)

Grüße,
Alligator
