Is it normal?
I'm in february '42 running to Bashi Channel from PH.

Thanks

The only messages you will receive are base of operations changes (i.e. new homeport) and “ULTRA” intel messages

Thanks for clarification and for your awesome work.
Have a Merry Christmas, Lurker!

Just curious...

Could I not just put the new Flotillas.upc from the patch into its corresponding file in the original download, mine being RSRDC_P2_v200, and be done with it? Just one less file to have to mess with in the JSGME program.

Just love RSRDC btw. I also added the two other AI kick-butt files from the latest version of TM to your already fantastic MOD, along with some other graphical MODS. That gives me the reality of your campaigns, the tenacity of the enemy, with graphics I like. Really a great combination.

Thanks!

Yes go right ahead

Due to “another oversight” on my part I failed to change the XXX_shp.dds files to be compatable with TM 172. This patch corrects the problem. Patch 1 for v220 is also included. Just de-install “RSRDC_P2_Patch1_for_V220” from JSGME and install this replacemrnt.

Probrably a dumb question, but is this fix still needed in Phase2, or was it already incorporated into the new release? Thanks, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Campaign

Phase II

“Run Silent, Run Deep, the Campaign” (RSRDC) is a major rewrite of the campaign layers of SH4 and is designed to overcome the following major “stock” campaign problems:

• The various stock “battle” layers (i.e. BurmaJawa.mis, BattleOfMidway.mis, BattleofGuadalcanal.mis, etc) are sub-standard, not only from a ship content point of view but also from a track generation point of view and in my view completely un-reliable from a game play point of view. The reason for this is that these layers are written in a “Scripted” format that is completely unreliable when playing in “Career” mode.

• The various Taskforce, Convoy, and Merchant layers that are total devoid of reality.

• The mission objectives are sub-standard and need a major rewrite

• The Special missions are also sub-standard and need work.

RSRDC solves all these problems:


Installation / Compatibility

Use RSRDC_P2_v200 for stock 1.4

Use RSRDC_P2_TM_v220 for TM172

Use RSRDC_P2_RFB_v240 for RFB


RSRDC Phase II is a Rollup of all changes to RSRDC since release. “DO NOT” use “ANY” Phase I versions with this mod or you are going to get a CTD. Save games from Phase I “should work” with Phase II, except in the following cases:

Narwhal Campaign using TM172. Due to the rework of the Narwhal Stationing at Pearl Harbor ( 12/7/41 to 12/31/43 ) and Fremantle ( 1/1/44 to 9/1/45 ) plus new missions assignments, you will have to start a new campaign.

Campaigns starting at Mios Woendi. The position of this base was wrong and has now been corrected.


Phase II Overall Changes:

The major change is a complete rewrite of the “Single Merchant / Convoys” campaign layers that were originally in Phase I. Using the Senji Yuso Sendan Shi (Wartime Transportation Convoys History), by Shinshichiro Komamiya, RSRDC has recreated 1055 convoys from early 1942 to the end of war and rebuild all the single merchant and tanker shipping routes.

All IJN/USN battles / campaigns / ship movements have been recreated in all theaters from Dec 7 1941 to June 1 1944.

Main Campaign files


(a)XX_Jap_Convoys: These layers have been rewritten from scratch using Senji Yuso Sendan Shi
(b)XX_Jap_Merchants: These layers have been rewritten from scratch from Phase I
(c)XX_Jap_SubHunters: These layers are now 0 length files.
(d)XX_Jap_TaskForce: 41a, 42a, 42b,43a have been rewritten to show the historical movements of major IJN units (BB, CV, CA, CL and Task Groups). The 44a and 44b layers are CA/CL/DD based task groups and are “not” historically correct and are currently “place holder” for Phase III upgrade.
(e)XX_Jap_TroopConvoys: These layers are now 0 length files, IJN troop convoys are now part of XX_Jap_Convoys files
(g)“Battle Layers”: AleutiansCampaign.mis (new layer), BattleOfGuadclcanal.mis, BattleofMidway, BurmaJawa.mis, CoralSeaBattle.mis, NewGuineaCampaign.mis ( new layer) PearlHarborAttack.mis SolomonIslands.mis and EastAsiaCampaign.mis layer are rewritten to provide historically accurate recreations of these battles. BattleofPhilippine.mis, BattleofPhilippineSea.mis, BattleofTruk.mis, and are zero length files and are currently “place holder” for Phase III upgrade..
(h) Revised messages.txt


Special Notes/Known Problems:

(a) For those of you who enjoy “reverse engineering”, if you use the SH4MissionEditor on the “Battle” or “Task Forces” layers, under no circumstances make changes or select “ok” in the “Group Properties” window. If you do, you will cause All the tracks within the layer to longer generate correctly. The reason is that I’m making “hand” edits to these files to ensure that the tracks generate “on time”

Library



Changes:

Bombs.XXX, DepthCharges.XXX and DepthCharges_IJN.XXX have revised settings


Added:

AI_Sensors_AB.dat (IJN Airborne radars)
AI_Visual_Sensors.dat (New visual sensors from TM)

Menu

“V220 & V240 Only”

Added a Defense Mapping Agency 5090 Maneuvering Board nomograph. This nomograph is very accurate and I use this in my personal build.

If you do not want to use it, go to the data directory in RSRDC and remove the “Menu” directory.

You might want to show what other mods you have installed. Particular mods have to be loaded in the correct order. Also, are you using JSGME? If so, just deactivate the mod and you are back to square one.

Which version ?

What other mods do you have installed?

Did you use JSGME to install ?

When and where was your attack ?

Hi There,
I've D/Ld 2 of the mods, one for stock sh4 (works perfectly) and one for RFB. This is installed over 01-RFB_1.4_for_stock_RC1. Everytime I start a career it CTDs. Am I doing something wrong? The error I get is simdata.dll
Any help appreciated.
