TMO
RSRD
Traveller
Other mods


Make sure you look inside the Traveller folder. The actual mod is inside the folder not simply the folder itself. Also inside you will find other Traveller mods that you can add to your list to make it more interesting. I personally love the added loading screens and harder escorts.

[avers]

My list is

TMO 2.5
TMO small patch
RSRDC v502
RSRDC patch
OTC for TMO with RSRDC
Travellers mod
Travellers mod OTC patch

Another question I noticed in a video of someone using travellers mod in his tab menu he had 2 periscope tabs and 2 steering wheel tabs and also I don't have the new search patterns or the new option in the radar tab 'report nearest base radio broadcast' is there a way to fix that?

[avers]

Also I don't have the 2 periscope tabs or the 2 steering wheel tabs. Is there a way to fix that?

[avers]

Also the goy on the vid was using OTC

[les green01]

been awhile for me since I play this mod if Im right the new patrol area and the other mods are in a sub folder of the mod and each as to be activated don't know if I still have the mod or not

[avers]

Anyone else want to answer?

It may be due to do the patch version he made for OTC. The mods had a lot of conflict, so he made a basic Trav light mod to work with OTC.

[avers]

Could I tell me where that light mod is?

[avers]

I meant could u guys tell me where the light trav mod for OTC is?

[Armistead]

Could I tell me where that light mod is?

If your mod list is correct, you're using travs mod for OTC...

What I mean by light is if you use OTC you lose many functions of Travs mod so you don't lose all the needed features of OTC. This is done by the Trav OTC patch...if you remove it, you would get all of Travs mod, but lose a lot of OTC and possibly game issues.

[avers]

My list is

TMO 2.5
RSRDC v502
RSRDC patch
OTC 1.5 for TMO and RSRDC
Trav mod
Trav mod OTC 1.5 patch

Anyway please gimme feedback if there's a way to fix it

But right now I'm using another mod for my set.
While I was searching for a light trav mod I came across SCAF for RSRDC v502 TMO 2 and it came with max optics iv TMO 2 so I tried them out and now I'm using scaf and max optics.

Still gimme feedback if there is a way to fix trav mod+ OTC btw that was my list in that order thanx

[avers]

I meant I'm using SCAF and max optics iv+trav mod.
Still tell me if there's a way to fix the problem.

[Armistead]

I haven't played in a year and no longer have the game or files on this PC.

Take a SS of the tab screens of scope and wheel and post them so I can see what you're saying and maybe I can figure it out.

[avers]

how do I post a screenshot?

You have to join a photo-sharing website. There are many free ones; the two I'm most familiar with are ImageShack and PhotoBucket. Once you register they will explain exactly how to upload your pictures there and how to transfer them to Subsim. It's all very easy.

[avers]

that's how its suppose to look like.

[avers]

In the 2nd pic I had installed trav mod, scaf and max optics iv still please help me find a soloution

[avers]

Is it normal with travellers mod that you can't hear your own engine when u point the hydrophone to the back because when ever I go on the hydrophone I don't hear my subs own engines and the light doesent go on whenever I point it to the back. Is that the way it's suppose to be?

[merc4ulfate]

When you install mods then uninstall them and or reorder them and then tray something different there is no gaureetee your going to get the original files back uncorrupted.

If you switching arounds mods a lot and it sounds like you are you should do a clean install of the game then your mod order.

You're using both OTC, and SCAF (maybe not at the same time).

If you can use OTC, there is, AFAIK, no good reason to use SCAF. CapnScurvy released SCAF long before Traveller's mod and might not work well with your recent mod profile. In any case, it was CapnS's intention that OTC supersede SCAF, as it was more developed/complete solution to the targeting issues involved.

You should review the OTC threads to understand what is involved.



From CapnScurvy:

As far as using SCAF or one of the MaxOptics mods with Optical Targeting Correction, they are not needed. The SCAF height reference points are included in the OTC mod. This means the heights are calibrated for accuracy and are correct. The lengths are too, so when a measurement reads 140 feet, its 140 feet. Using MaxOptics isn't needed either since the view is very similar. Granted, I didn't put the binocular magnification of 18x into the OTC mod but just about everything else is there. Using MaxOptics over OTC will definitely over ride any corrections to the optics OTC makes. So no, do not use it.

[Armistead]

I think he said he dropped OTC and was still having issues with Trav's mod, but I haven't played in so long I'm not sure what or if these are actual issues. I know I didn't like later versions of trav mod, the env, some campaign bugs, planes and a few other things, so I stopped at 2.2 and then tweaked it.

[avers]

Ok guys you know what I've made a grand decision

JSGME list:

TMO 2.5
TMO small patch
RSRDC v502
RSRDC v5xx patch
Travellers mod
SCAF mod
Max optics iv

Thanx for all the help I was having trouble with the hydrophone on the s class but I found out for the hydrophone to work on the s class I have to be about 75ft or below for it to work. Please tell me if this what u have to do to.

[Armistead]

That looks good and correct on the S boat!:up:

[avers]

Thanx armistad and every one
