There was already a mod for 4.09 which made the ships sink slower, so this request is really about converting the old mod to a 4.12 SAS modact version. Here it is: http://ulozto.net/xy6FfbxF/sinktime-zip

[western0221]

I'll try to research it is possible or not for 4.12.2m with looking at the codes you attached.

Thanks, that would be great since this is the final problem I havent yet managed to solve in 4.12.

???
I did not know this Mod! 
It works great in my 409_UP2!
The code is very different from the original code 409!
Do you have a link for more information? 

[vpmedia]

This mod is from 2008, the Allircraftarcade.com topic where it (probably) was pubished is not there anymore.

It's done ! (but not tested)
http://catsy.net/Mods/SinkTime_4.12.rar

It shouldn't work with HSFX 7. Asks if you want a HSFX version.

Edit :

The code is very different from the original code 409!

It's not so different, just 2 lines changed in the "computeSinkingParams" method.

Code: [Select]

float f6 = Rnd(1000F, 100000F);
tmInterpoEnd = tmInterpoStart + (long)(f2 * f6);

Yah! Catsy's reply shows me most clearly what I have to do.

I add its code on my Ship Extention MOD with flexibility, BETA patch 2.20.2.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,39077.msg516839.html#msg516839

Code: [Select]

- Usage of "SinkTimeMultipiler"
Open your conf.ini in your IL-2 1946 installing ROOT folder and search "[Mods]" section.
When your conf.ini doesn't have "[Mods]" section, add it in its last.

|  [Mods]
|  SinkTimeMultipiler=2.0
This works as making Ships' sinking time extending into twice.

|  [Mods]
|  SinkTimeMultipiler=0.8
This works as making Ships' sinking time shortening into 80%.

The value of SinkTimeMultipiler is allowed from 0.3 to 10.0.

Yes I found these settings. 
But I was talking in general code where much (especially the first) is very different ...
But most important is that everything works in 409/UP2!

[Catsy]

It's just that the compiler used for this mod was quite different from that used for the 4.09.
In this case, what I do, I recompile 2 classes with the same compiler and decompile again, and here there is much less difference ...

[Pursuivant]

Is the sinking time affected by additional damage?

For example, if you keep pumping bombs or torpedoes into a sinking ship, or if a ship is sunk by a 5,000 lb. bomb as opposed to a 500 lb. bomb, will it make a difference in sinking times?

I also believe that one of the official patches increased ship sinking time, although not by as much as they could have increased it.

Thanks a lot for the quick action Western0221.

Which classfiles do i need in order to be able to use this new SinkTimeMultipiler parameter in the conf.ini? I only need that one feature. (This standalone version http://catsy.net/Mods/SinkTime_4.12.rar isnt working).

I'm not sure it's possible to cut out some classfiles from my MOD, but....
Maybe the folder "ShipAIMod" in yesterday's version 2.20.2 patch with 22 classfiles is the minimum to work.
Original 2.20.0 full-set may not be needed for you.
