(Deprecated) Configure Mod By Excel
This way of configuring the mod is deprecated. The default now is Configure Mod by Yaml. If you still want to use the excel way, you need to disable the yaml file in the yaml file itself (enabled: false).

If you subscribe to the mod you probably don't want to configure anything. The mod by default set arcade game style values which are less realistic but more fun. In case you feel to change those values you have 2 options:
  • Switch to a realistic preset
  • Customize the mod parameters as you wish.

Both you can do by navigating to the mods folder and open DeepLeaksConfig.xlsx. On the settings tab you can switch between presets and on all tabs you can configure own values for the mods most important properties. If you wanna manipulate values I recommend to do this by switching the preset to custom and then edit the values on the custom tab. The config file is located here:

Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\3383792611\Data Sheets

You can check in game what configuration is active and double check if your changes are applied by activate DeepLeaks Status on the trim pump interaction wheel like shown here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3431857364&fileuploadsuccess=1

Be careful doing changes, some values might not work. Also create a backup before you change the values since Uboat is quite sensitive on changes inside its xl configuration. All values are described further inside the config datasheet. Once you have changed values keep a copy of the datasheet, it will be overwritten on mod updates.

Amount in decibel of noise generated by this sound. With realistic you have to know that this will reveal your position quite fast.

Displayed values are for the type TypeVIIC. For other types check the data sheet.
Property
Description
Arcade
Realistic
minPressureLeakDepth
The depth from which on the mod starts to operate. From here all the below parameters are considered. Above this depth, DeepLeaks will not do anything.
120
130
maxPressureLeakDepth
The depth from which on all leaks will have a 100% probability. Don't be fooled by this value. You'll never reach this depth alive since leaks will appear exponentially.
450
310
maxTrimPumpDepth
The maximum depth the trim pump is operational. After this depth is reached it switches to manual trimpump mode.
280
155
manualTrimPumpModifier
The manual trim pump value (must be between 0 and 100). If you set it to 0, there will be no more trim pump performence at all. It is an abstract value which is here to be modified if needed. The actual performance depends on the depth and your trimpump config from Vanilla or other mods.
40
5
leakPipePowerModifier
Power value that curves the probability line (must be a value between 1 and 20). 1 would be a linear probability from minPressureLeakDepth to maxPressureLeakDepth. Higher numbers will delay the leak probability to a deeper depths.
1.5

Big thank you goes to @kretze who provided me very useful historical informations to build a first realistic preset and as well the idea to have presets in the first place.

how do we switch between the presets we want to use? Is it possible to select the preset you want to use in the game.

Is it possible for you to make a PDF or JPG of your configuration instructions please?

I can't provide pdf's or jpgs for download here. I may do not understand what the goal is here, but if you want a jpg of the above config instructions, hit "print screen" and save it as jpg. or copy paste it into word or any other capable app that then can save pdf's.

People....! Or Sheeple? smh
I think the old data sheet method is broken in the new version, I've tried modifying with Excel and LibreOffice and I can't avoid corruption according to DeepLeaks. Probably doesn't matter since that method is going away, the yaml method is working perfectly for me.
