o Barão Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 (edited) NAR 13 major update, preview W.I.P. Many new improvements from @NathanKell in his work "Tweaks and fixes" included in NAR. Credits to him for his brilliant work. Nem armor code improvements for all ships for the AI to follow, take into consideration the ship class and year. This file will be easy edited by anyone interested. Ship speed limited to be between 90%-100% for the AI to follow. This will prevent to see ships incredible slow or with excessive speed which would increase the engine weight by an exponential factor and would limit the tonnage available to be used in other important areas, like armor. example A (ship made by the AI) example B (ship made by the AI) Subs can now travel around the map. Mines mechanic improvements. New scrapping behavior. Improvements to the shared design mechanic. Components weight rebalanced to help the AI to think more like a human player. As an example to be very rare to waste tonnage on triple bottom hulls. Playing with flags Monarch civil flag above Monarch naval flag below Monarch civil flag above Portugal monarchy below @MDHansen other format flags will only be cropped in the menu, but will work just fine in the shipyard or in battle.

Peksern Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Looking awesome! One further question. If I would like to use Nathans Tool to add more Gun Marks... would that be compatible with NAR and how would I actually do that at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be yes. I am guessing you would need to extract the "partsModel", "guns" and the "technology" files from NAR. Create the new mark6 guns in the "partsModel". Create the new mark6 guns stats in the "guns". Add the new mark6 years where those guns are unlocked in the "technology" file at the end. Upload the files back to NAR. https://github.com/NathanKell/UADRealism/blob/main/README.md Mark 6+ guns Both the guns and partModels TextAssets can have a param column added. For a given gun, any of the mark-based values can be added to the param value with a list of mark followed by value. For example the 5in gun could have a param of firerate(6;30;7;40), shellV(6;800;7;810). This would make it so that the Mark 6 5in gun would have a base fire rate of 30 and shell velocity of 800, and the mark 7 would have 40 and 810 respectively. The mark 5 values are extended for all other mark-based stats if no new value is specified (so mark 5 barrel weight, accuracy, etc would be used for marks 6 and 7. This also holds true for partModels, for example param for a gun could have model(6;hood_gun_140_x2) and all other mark 5 parameters would be extended to mark 6 (and 7, if there is a mark 7 of that gun). These new marks can be enabled in the technologies TextAsset just like any other mark. NathanKell mentions other method, so I would suggest to ask him directly how should be the right approach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyredrake Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 First time commenting here, absolutely love the mod, however I was wondering how easy it would be to modify the BC towers for Germany? The modern Large Cruiser/Battlecruiser for them has IMO unusable turret barbettes in terms of practicality. They are meant for no larger than 11" guns, when in reality the O-Class that Germany was planning for their next realized BC post WW1, was planned to have an armament of 3x2 15" guns. It just doesn't make sense on my end at least to bake in the requirement of the turrets you *have* to use or else you just end up with weird unused turret barbettes or a 2 turret config with 2 mains and then 2 larger secondaries I guess. Really love the work you've done, and have thoroughly enjoyed the mod, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really love the work you've done, and have thoroughly enjoyed the mod, cheers. It is similar to what I said above. The diference is that you will need to extract the "parts" file from the NAR resource.assets. In that file you can edit any physical component that is added to the ships and also the hulls: towers, barbettes, funnels, stats, size, what is available for each hull, etc... It is a big file, so I would suggest to search the component name and compare the stats to what you are seeing ingame so you know exactly what you are editing. There are many components that share the same name in game but are completely different from each other so looking at the stats or to which hull they are available will make it easier to see. After you made the changes in notepad++ or another similar program, just upload back to the NAR resource.assets. This is what I use to extract the txt files from the game: https://github.com/nesrak1/UABEA set the filter to txt use the plug in to import/export Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is removed, only added. Atm there are 13 nations in game. I expect to add the south american nations next for a total 16 nations. 3)"...can we choose which nations we want to be a major faction and which ones not?" This is not an easy thing like switching a button. It takes many hours to add a new nation ingame. However in the next update all the files will be available to anyone to edit in csv format, thanks to the work of NathanKell. So you can in theory work to add new nations to the game or remove them if you wish. Edited August 30 by o Barão Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this moment I don't have the answer. It only takes a few minutes for me to start a campaign but I don't know how the game will handle after 50 turns as an example. The limit, IMO, is not how many nations, but how many nations can fit in the politics screen and it is already full or almost full. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^^ But, as I have experienced tweaking the technologies section, it seems the contents of the topbar windows (politics, technologies, etc) are modular by design. I added more tech groups, columns and rows, and they all moved/resized to fit. I guess we'll see once we go 20+ Edited August 30 by MDHansen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaAlex_175 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Hello, dear developers! I have been watching this mod for a long time and I really appreciate the work you have done. And the news about adding new nations just amazed me! I have one suggestion on this matter. What do you think about adding Greece as the seventh nation? This country has obvious reasons to appear in the mod: 1) Greece could afford dreadnoughts and would have received them if WW1 had not happened. 2) A huge number of islands can be considered colonies, because they were previously taken from other countries. 3) Well, in general, based on the fact that Greece and the Ottoman Empire had a very long feud, the presence of both of these states would have a certain meaning and historicity. I hope that you will consider this proposal! Because as I see it, there is still plenty of room for two or three nations on the "politics" screen. And it would be really cool if Greece took one of these positions! Also, I will note that the Ottoman Empire should add Three-Mast hulls, a Gunboat hull, a Turret Cruiser and a Coastal Defense Ship. Because the Ottoman fleet for a long time contained even very old ships, which received truly grandiose modernizations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
