ghullison, sorry you're having trouble.
You can either spawn them in individually as a mission or load in them in at the start of a new game via the 'addon' menu.
Once you've done they should be visible on the map, provided you used the addon menu.
Otherwise if you're spawning them individually use the map above.
Hope that helps!

Misery, sorry you are having trouble.
Can you explain why you are having trouble? Maybe we can get you going.
Misery 26 Jun @ 11:33am

Theoddball972, sorry your have trouble. The scope does not adjust along the vertical/ranging axis. Ranging is gained via the information provided by the Range Scribe. Who in turn (in the real world) would have received that information from Spotting Emplacements/Towers.

Granted, his range data isn't always the most accurate based on how the game handles ranging data from radar. But it is accurate enough to get you close, at which point you can start "bracketing" you target. By firing rounds long, then short, and progressively narrowing the actual range down to a hit.

Sounds complex, but it's easier then you think and also accurate to how real artillery operates, even today.

Hope that helps!

Good mod, but I can't get the vertical aiming system to work in my favor. Could you add a telescope to the lower part of the cannon so it is easier to see if I am on target vertically?

starbuckcolin, glad you got yourself fixed up! Also very glad you are enjoying it!
Have a nice day!
starbuckcolin 28 Sep, 2023 @ 7:01pm 
also really like this addon. great job man.
starbuckcolin 28 Sep, 2023 @ 6:07pm 
my physics was indeed set to low. thank you very much
GERUNIMO  [author] 27 Sep, 2023 @ 2:49am 
starbuckcolin, sorry you're again having trouble. My initial guess is your physics is set to 'low', try 'medium', or preferably 'high'.
Hope that helps!
starbuckcolin 25 Sep, 2023 @ 3:09pm 
apparently the counterweight only really trips when I am on the ladder leading up to the platform..?
starbuckcolin 25 Sep, 2023 @ 3:02pm 
ok so, it seems at random times, it appears to either not fully load OR the counterweight just doesn't really want to flip but after a bit it ends up working
GERUNIMO  [author] 24 Sep, 2023 @ 10:52pm 
starbuckcolin, glad you figured it out.
Let me know if you have further troubles.
ENJOY!
starbuckcolin 24 Sep, 2023 @ 7:40pm 
nvm I got it to work somehow
starbuckcolin 24 Sep, 2023 @ 7:31pm 
oh also the counterweight release stuff doesn't quite want to work
starbuckcolin 24 Sep, 2023 @ 7:24pm 
I keep using the firing dynamo but it just doesn't fire and I followed all the instructions. I have search and destroy
Andrea 31 Aug, 2023 @ 11:04am 
Gerunimo, ahhh okay. that'll explain why I can't fire it lmao
GERUNIMO  [author] 30 Aug, 2023 @ 7:04pm 
charliedknight3121, sure is.
Andrea 29 Aug, 2023 @ 1:41pm 
Wait, is the search and destroy DLC required?
Andrea 29 Aug, 2023 @ 1:36pm 
Gerunimo, I'll have a look for it, I was probably just being blind..
GERUNIMO  [author] 28 Aug, 2023 @ 9:33am 
charliedknight3121, thank you for the nice comment and I'm sorry you're having trouble.
Can you identify the 'Electrical Firing Dynamo' in the screenshots? That's why fires the gun.

Hope that helps!
Andrea 28 Aug, 2023 @ 7:17am 
Gerunimo, ah okay.
It's cool decoration though.

When it was my first time using it I spe like 5 minutes thinking the ammo cart was in it then when I got back to the surface I got jump scared by the man 🤣

Hopefully my last question, how do I fire it exactly?
I'm not that smart when it comes to this stuff heh..
GERUNIMO  [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 3:37am 
charliedknight3121, nope sorry. Didn't really see a need to be in there. I'm not proud of it, its the first time I've ever blocked the player from going somewhere in a build I made. :steamsad:
Andrea 21 Aug, 2023 @ 11:26pm 
Geronimo, sure will!
Is there a way to open the like gated door thing in the bunker?
GERUNIMO  [author] 20 Aug, 2023 @ 11:00pm 
charliedknight3121, awesome! Glad you figured it out!
Have fun!
Andrea 18 Aug, 2023 @ 5:39am 
GERUNIMO, don't worry. I found out.
GERUNIMO  [author] 17 Aug, 2023 @ 6:14am 
charliedknight3121, sure! Are you trying to spawn it as an addon or as individual missions?
Andrea 16 Aug, 2023 @ 2:25am 
Can I get a tutorial or smth on how to spawn this
GERUNIMO  [author] 12 Jul, 2023 @ 1:44am 
yamatothelegendary, is the gun indeed loaded and the breech closed? If not, stand as close to the ammo cart as possible.
Hope that helps, let me know if you need further assistance.
ABeastMadeOfSteel 11 Jul, 2023 @ 11:48pm 
For some reason when I reload it with the cart it just doesn't fire and I checked and infinite ammo isn't on
Verttix9 14 Jun, 2023 @ 1:05am 
i think that was the problem. thanks!
GERUNIMO  [author] 13 Jun, 2023 @ 11:08pm 
Verttix9, you need to stand next to the Ammo Cart (to simulate YOU grabbing the round), then the gun will load. Hope that helps.
Verttix9 12 Jun, 2023 @ 8:12am 
the time varies from ~20s to ~10min
Verttix9 12 Jun, 2023 @ 7:50am 
sometimes the reload guy doesnt do anything next to the gun for minutes until finally reloading. am i doing something wrong?
Lena_the_Dreadful 6 Jun, 2023 @ 11:42am 
Thank you for the support. I'll try it again. And so you know, I was using battery A, which tbf, is a few meters above sea level. Also please tell me how you made good looking stairs that work, cuz I usually just end up using windows and that's weird
GERUNIMO  [author] 6 Jun, 2023 @ 10:17am 
TailspinGrey, some of it might be the radar acting silly too. Remember radars center on the center of mass of a contact (CoM), so if the CoM is higher up on the vehicle the range calculation might be off somewhat. Also, depending on the gun you are using their physical elevations vary, which also affects ranging slightly. Time permitting, I can and will go in and create corrections for this.
Thanks again for the comment(s).
Lena_the_Dreadful 6 Jun, 2023 @ 8:53am 
thank you, although i will say it seems like 500+ meters high is a bit too high, correct me if im wrong. either way, its a really cool build, and i really want to know how you do some of this stuff
GERUNIMO  [author] 5 Jun, 2023 @ 6:24pm 
TailspinGrey, he does intentionally set the range alittle high, this was done to account for ships with rigging which often screwed up the range data coming from the radar. So you might have to "fire and adjust" as they say in the business.
To be fair, when these weapons were in actual service range information was gathered optically, and often required considerable adjusting to land rounds on target. So I would suppose this system isn't much different.
Hope that helps!
Lena_the_Dreadful 4 Jun, 2023 @ 8:13pm 
Specifically i believe the scribe keeps setting the range way too high
Lena_the_Dreadful 4 Jun, 2023 @ 7:41pm 
This is great, although I am having some trouble actually aiming the guns, especially at things within visual range
GERUNIMO  [author] 27 May, 2023 @ 10:06am 
fuzzypopcorn892, sorry to hear that. What part of the directions did you have difficulty understand? Do you have 'infinite ammo' turned off?
fuzzypopcorn892 26 May, 2023 @ 4:08pm 
the breach and ammo cart don't work
GERUNIMO  [author] 4 May, 2023 @ 6:01am 
noloninjas burger, glad you figured it out, have fun!
nolifyd 3 May, 2023 @ 9:59pm 
no wait nvm
nolifyd 3 May, 2023 @ 9:58pm 
the range scribe dont do nothing
GERUNIMO  [author] 27 Apr, 2023 @ 6:24am 
Oberleutnant_Heinz, you need to enable it via the "Enabled Addons" button when you start a new game.It'll be in the "Workshop" Tab. Hope that helps.
Oberleutnant_Heinz 25 Apr, 2023 @ 9:50am 
How do I enable the Add-On? I've checked and reloaded Stormworks several times, but it still has not appeared on the list.
KriegerTomate 14 Apr, 2023 @ 8:58am 
ok thanks
GERUNIMO  [author] 13 Apr, 2023 @ 4:22pm 
paul.lehmann1312, it sounds like you didn't 'swab the breech' before reloading. make sure to follow the steps listed above and reference the screenshots for the location of hidden buttons. Hope that helps, let me know if you have further trouble.
