Gaston, Yeah a HD DLL thingy.

I can't recreate that crash.

I'm using the BAT method of integration, like Vampire did, a method allowing HD Models and all types of Skins (1K, 2K, 4K).
With the proper DLL, all is fine. The question is, which of the 2 works for you.
At DLLs Check out this.

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,65026.0.html

Code: [Select]

You will find the BATDLLS in the BATDOCS/BATDLLS folder. Alternatively you can download them from here:

BATDLLS-01 | BATDLLS-02

Congratulations, you now have a working BAT 4.0. It is time to expand it with more content.
You must try both, can't tell which one works for you.

Code: [Select]

-the PBN-USN,
-the New_Bomb_Bay_Loadouts_v.2.1,
-the Dutch (_Arms_Dutch),
-the 3 French packs (_Arms_French_1918_1943, !Interwar+French+Machine+Guns and !French+Torpedo+and+Racks), and
-the Chutes-Containers-Paratroopers pack.
Exactly.
Should meet the requirement then.

Drop us a note if the DLL Trials worked out.

Best wishes Tobias

The British Torpedo Racks, first Scheiße version. I'm not happy with the result.
Must sleep over this.


See you
Tobias

Update 1.2.1. is out

I apologize, a Classfile ran under my Radar, one I'm using in a
Belting Mod. The issue was easy Fix in my Test Install.
I had a WIP Spitfire Mod in the Testinstall. Blimey 

Version history:
- missing gun Class added .303 AP
- latest Loadout Fixes, new Stores provisions 16x and UK Torpedo rack added

This should work now. In any case, report issues, if there are, just usual.
We'll fix it.
I couldn't let this go unfixed, did a nightshift.
All Mayor issues fixed, the remaining work is cosmetic,
Weapons.properties creation, collating of final Loadouts,
Fixing 3-D, this and that.

I'm enjoying flattening out and see ya
Tobias

So, Tobias...

I did as you said, trying both sets of new DLL. But still no go... still have same problem. I also downloaded and installed the new version of the Cat (1.2.1), but it does not changeanything. With both, and witboth sets of DLL, it is a no-go for me : game does not even beginning to load. Think I will have to do without your nice Cat...

edit : I found the problem ! I let the Document folder in the mod, and inside, there is a file with a much too long name (what caught my attention was when I deleted the mod : Windows was saying that there is a too long file name for the Recycle folder ! So, I put the mod again, without the Document folder, and the game finally start. Then, I came back to the original DLL I had for a test, et voilà ! It works !!! Now, I will have to see more about this plane.

So... thanks for a nice mod !!!

[Knochenlutscher]

Thanks for the report Gaston, confirmed.
I stumbled across this too, good that you mentioned, I noticed it when
updating the new Files and moved it to Trashbin.
Windows quacked about a long name.

Update
Documentation Folder is the culprit, will be swapped in next Fix.

It'll come with Update 1.2.2.

I apologize for the issue
Tobias

[Knochenlutscher]

Update version 1.2.2 RC2 is out

Fix list:
too long messy Windows error/Glitch depleted by
swapping Documents Folder out, Skins renaming, check for duplicates!!!
VP-84 20mm Gun fixed, additional VP-84 Guns added, the early .50 cal version,
which was swapped for the regular .30 Anti-Personell outfit later included into VP-84 PBYs.
Further Loadouts collation...

To get it Foolproof, there's a lightweight Downloadlink with just the Mod sans Skins, Templates, Documention, very trim,
nothing long, ultra brutal lightweight.

Proof of concept in a clean B.A.T. latest Hotfix as seen by
correct Loadoutlist showing






I'm happy it's fixed and working up slowly...

Best wishes
Tobias

[Gaston]

Without the old mod in the trashbin, I would not have found this problem, man !

[Knochenlutscher]

Exactly, you found it

Didn't knew it's that crazy. I asked myself a few times
what the issue was about in all it's sequence.
glad we tackled it. In future I know where to look at.
Good that you mentioned, it's lil things that matters.


Happy Weekend
Tobias

[Gaston]

ou welcome, Tobias. And... have a good weekend too ! For me, it will be a TV weekend : Six Nations Rugby Tournament !!!

[Knochenlutscher]

You lucky Man, enjoy it.
Sunday I'll work, Today is my free day.

[Gaston]

Sorry for you... for me, first match in 3 hours !!!

Anyway... I have seen something a bit disturbing... as pilot of the Catalina, we can use MGs and 20mm cannon firing forward, which is nice. But there is no iron sight, which should be a minimum to aim correctly. So, historically, how was the pilot aiming to the target ??? Just like this, instinctively, or did he have a sight ???

[Knochenlutscher]

No Gunsight.  They had none. Not even the Factory installed Canadian 4x.303 Cansos were given Gunsights.
Wartime footage, Reels exist of Black Cats in Action, showing their Cockpit, they lack a Gunsight.
VP-84 and Black Cat Footage, all showing absence of such.

Though I can try and see to get an "old" US Navy Gunsight into it. from a Wildcat.
But such tinkering may take it's time.
