[Mod] The Dreadnought Improvement Project v3 BETA for UAD 1.6.1.5 Opt x4

[brothermunro]

@Gregervich improvements to scrapping and shared designs will be part of DIP V3

[brothermunro]

New update out to bring 'compatibility' to Opt x5, including a rework of the transport vp losses. It is getting harder to support v2 as the main release, but DIP v3 is still in a pretty rough state. I will try to support v2 to the next 'previous stable version' but that may prove impossible.

[Lavender]

The Dreadnought Improvement Project (DIP) v2, led by developers, enhances Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts by reworking gun stats, armor techs, and ship costs for a more balanced gameplay experience. Known issues include compatibility with existing saves, and installation requires placing the resources.assets file in the game's data folder. For optimal performance, starting a new campaign is recommended.

Hey, Brother sorry to bother (again)

I just discovered Diesel Engines, but I am not able to put them into my ships (German Campaign; Start 1910; current year 1930). Maybe you can check if there is a problem in the tech tree!

Also I think Krupp IV and V was switched...

[brothermunro]

I’ll check!

The unlock years are 1926 for Krupp IV and 1929 for Krupp V respectively, so I’m guessing it was the tech randomisation system.

As for the diesels not appearing that’s weird, their unlock year is 1931 - do they appear in the custom battle (or shared) designer for that year?

Sorry ... I am such a noob...

I thought it would be in the fuel selection...

 

[brothermunro]

No worries! Glad you got it sorted 😄

[brothermunro]

New compatibility update

[Dutchy]

Hey munro, have you changed the distance of torps spotting? if so, how much?

[brothermunro]

Yes it is reduced significantly down to (I think) 500m base 

[Dutchy]

is it possible to edit that value in the base game, without using other mods?

[brothermunro]

The spotting distance is in params, but you can’t edit that without using a mod of some sort (I’d recommend using tweaks and fixes)

[Dutchy]

cool cool, may i ask you one last thing?
if so, is there somewhere in the forum here that explains somewhat how to edit that?
tks for the help munro

[brothermunro]

Once you get TAF installed you’ll need to extract the Params file with UABE or a similar tool and save it as a csv. That’s the hard bit, once you have the CSV you can use notepad++, excel or something like modernCSV to edit the file. Pop the new Params.csv in the Mods folder and it’ll work.

[brothermunro]

More compatibility updates! I also used the old events file from 1.6.0.7 to address the AI nations exploding due to GDP failure.

[brothermunro]

Yet more compatibility! I also increased the shipyard and port caps in line with the vanilla changes, but I kept the province income cap the same to try and keep economies under control.

[brothermunro]

Another compatibility update!

[mrfox1918]

Updated to the latest combability version for DIP and now all I get is this whenever I try to launch UAD after melon loader starts... And it just hangs on it... Very odd...

 

[brothermunro]

You’ll need the version of TAF that matches the current UAD version 

[MDHansen]

New TaF version is up

[brothermunro]

As is a new version of DIPV2 which should solve any issues

[mrfox1918]

Did T&F change the tonnage needed for invasions? or is that a DIP or vanilla change?

[Ronny 1001]

Is it right that i cannot build anything as Spain in 1890? Any guidance here?

[brothermunro]

I think it was 1.6.1.1 lowered the invasion threshold to 25,000 tons
