Photo Recce Misiiion Sh4 1.5+TMO | Forums

[Wolferz]

After Deuces' latest TMO version, I started a new career out of Cavite and got a photo recon mission for carriers in Manila bay. I thought, Wow! the nips have CVs here already?? Much to my surprise there were two of them up in the back of the bay. Snapped the pics and promptly sunk the buggers.

I was stuck on a second or third recon mission a few months ago. I went into the files and what I seem to have found as the problem was this, the mission data file seemed to want 5 contacts photoed. Game was spawning only 3 ships in the harbour. That value came earlier in the file. Later toward the end of the file is a value which seems to represent how many photos or a value for each photo that is taken to complete the objective. I am thinking back a few months, so I can't be more specific til I look at 'em again.

Here is the chunk from Dalian, Photo Yellow Sea 01.mis (stock)
[Objective 1]
ObjName=Photo Yellow Sea 01_Objective1
Obj=5
ObjType=0
RenownAwarded=300
ZoneName=Photo Yellow Sea 01_Zone1
PhotoValue=65
MinPhotoValueThreshold=60

Here is the chunk from Tokyo Harbor, Photo Honshu 01_Objective1.mis (stock)
This one can be completed. I've done it twice.
[Objective 1]
ObjName=Photo Honshu 01_Objective1
Obj=5
ObjType=0
RenownAwarded=350
ZoneName=Photo Honshu 01_Zone1
PhotoValue=40
MinPhotoValueThreshold=0

Here is the chunk from Singapore, Photo South China Sea 01_Objective1.mis (stock)
[Objective 1]
ObjName=Photo South China Sea 01_Objective1
Obj=5
ObjType=0
RenownAwarded=300
ZoneName=Photo South China Sea 01_Zone1
PhotoValue=20
MinPhotoValueThreshold=0

Looks like the MinPhotoValueThreshold=0 is OK. The 65 for Dalian seems odd.

What changes did you make AE?
Did you lower the photo value and the MinPhotoValueThreshold ?

Ok, remembember now. It was 1 and 0. Make obj 1, make MinPhotoValueThreshold 0 and it goes away and you can complete. I will verify when I get home in about an hour.

OK. Home now, checked it out. There are 2 problems with various recon missions. 1st, is the MinPhotoValueThreshold. You are right with the Dalian Harbor one. That was the problem with that one. The Yaizu one is a different issue. It is the obj value. The default is 5. after trying and trying with that, I realized that maybe the 5 was the problem because there were only 3 ships to be photoed. I tried changing the obj value to 1 and re-did the mission and PRESTO, it worked. Every other photo mission had more ships in the harbour than the obj value of 5 except Yaizu (and one other, can't remember which), hence, no problem. We went over this one before in this thread: here. My last post said what I was trying, but I never came back to confirm it worked.

If you see this Ducimus, for each photo mission, it is obj=1 and MinPhotoValueThreshold=0 to fix BOTH of the issues people encounter with those missions.
