[2022.1] Skipper Standby

Description

A MOD for all crazy submarine captains.

If you need a break as a skipper (food, toilet, sleep,...) you can let the game continue.
There is an option for "no more time compression" here.
If important events occur in the game while the "Skipper Standby" mode is activated, the game automatically switches to pause (real 0 sec. Pause).

Functions:

1. No time compression:
This function is OFF in default!
The time always runs in real time. Fast forward is not possible.
This option can be activated in a MODConfig.xlsx (to be found in the MOD folder).

2. Skipper standby:
The mode can be switched ON / OFF using a symbol.
This can be found in the control center (headquarters) by the lamp control switch (red, white, blue).

3. Alarm:
When standby mode is activated, the game automatically pauses when an alarm is triggered.

4. Group contact:
When standby mode is activated, the game automatically pauses if a new group contact is discovered.

5. Visual, listen and smoke contact:
When standby mode is activated, the game automatically pauses if the team detects new visual, listen and smoke contact.

6. Air:
If the air quality drops below 10%, the game automatically pauses when the standby mode is activated.

7. Bilge:
If there is more than 1500 liters of water in the bilge, the game automatically pauses when the standby mode is activated.
The crew's automatic shutdown of the trim pump has been deactivated.
So the bilge does not fill up so quickly when you play in real time in heavy seas.

If a pause is activated automatically, the standby mode automatically switches back to "online" as soon as the pause is ended manually with the space bar.

I recommend activating my MOD "Start/Stop Alarm Button" as well.

So you can switch off an already activated alarm if you want to activate the standby mode.

Compatibility:

1. Uboat version B131 or 2022.1
2. MOD "Custom Actions" by @salamander must be activated !!
3. Save game compatible (there is no need to start a new career)
4. Knowingly compatible mods:
- [2022.1] Device Energy Management
- [2022.1] Device Maintenance
- [2022.1] Real Navigation

Thank you, works fine for me now :) I just wish that the real life north sea & atlantic isn't as big as it actually is xD

@General Kreutaa
unfortunately I can not create a standalone MOD. Double maintenance work for errors and new features in the MOD.
You can open the MODConfig.xlsx file with Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice (free version) and set the value from 1 to 0.
You can find the right "Data Sheets" folder in the Steam system folder. For me it looks like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\494840\2618451929\Data Sheets\
The numbers are definitely different for me than yours, but you can easily find the right MOD via the "preview" image.
I hope that this explanation will help you and I'm happy to have found another crazy skipper who plays in "real time" ;)

Good hunting,
Alligator

Doesn't work for me. I want to play in real time (yeh i know, crazy) but I cannot change it in the modconfig in the localnow folder.. could you load it up as a standalone mod?
