Are you planning on doing releases for TMO by any chance, or just FOTRSU?
And based on the name, do you plan on doing the S-boat, as well?
Yes, of course!

I do see a rather large performance hit, though I still do not go below about 45fps on my destop, which is an nVidia 560Ti inside an old DuoCore E8350 quad-core with 8 gig of RAM. My thinking is that with the camera coming from the original CR "pivot point", that a person down by the officer's kitchen is thrown about from floot to ceiling, but I don't know if that affects the lower end of the fps or not. I think it does rather well, for all of the info you've had to add. Is it possible to add like a "NSS_Gato_FR" folder and set of files instead of attaching it to the CR files? Or does that ruin the open hatch? My guess is that the game does not have an "attachment" point for inside the sub, if done separately?

Without your mod, my GPU load (GTX 1660 6GB VRAM) is around 40%, with your mod it raises to 50-70, FPS is not a problem, I have a cap of 300 for this game, it averages 60+ while in the sub.



The real problem is I get a lot of tearing when moving the view with the mouse (which I don't get without your mod). I suspect the open hatches are the reason for this.
[EDIT]
Turning Vsynch ON will resolve this.



Reference:
Insertion_Training mission, Gato Class; MSIAfterburner stats.
In my grafic settings, I play with 1920x1080 @60Hz, I have all maxed-out, VSynch ON will avoid screen tearing when moving mouse.

First of all very beautiful mod gives a really ''cozy'' feeling to the ''cold'' SH4!!
Now to the performance for me, I saw a very big fps drop like from constant 60 to 11 when I'm looking to the modded areas I suspect it's probably the mods I have with it.

You can not do an open hatch type mod with out building everything in to a complete model.

When you go into the Subs? There is no outside so to speak.
It's a completely different rendered environment with no connection to the World in Game.

Razark,

Am guessing here, that it was a yes to the s boat class...

Of course, this is just a guess... but am going with an educated guess, nonetheless...

I have a ctd everytime I start a mission with a balao or salmon/sargo class. Just when the mission start as I push a button, whatever, it ctd to desktop. I guess it s some problem with the options, I have an integrated video card, on an Asus laptop with 8 gb of ram, I used the laa tool and disabled vys. I donno why it do it. Seems only the Gato work and the s class

ArditoCorsaro, what cpu is in your computer, or the computer model, and which version of Windows do you have - and is it a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows? They do work fine in my newer Win10x64 laptop with a Core i5 processor and onboard Intel graphics.

It's an Intel dual core, of 5 or 6 years ago, with it I play also the newest total war games with no problem but with the graphic options medium, the dials are white too when the boat ctd. Windows 8 64 bit. I never had problems with sh4 and his mods that s the first time. Maybe must try to low the graphic options?, at first I tough it could be the ruim uniform mod, but also disabling it and putting the compatibility options to win 8, the balao work, but the salmon sargo still to ctd with white dials

Edit when it ctd it was ever in single missions

I wonder if your computer has a setting for the "shared" RAM for the video card, to where you can direct more resource to the video display?... I'll try to get my Win8 laptop to fire up later today (its battery will no longer take a charge), and see what I can find in that. On this Win10 laptop, it shows an Intel HD Graphics 620 with 4035mb of shared RAM, with 4163mb available. I do not see anywhere in this to adjust those figures though. With one of my older Intel laptops (P4??), there was a little applet in Windows to adjust that figure for shared RAM, which helped immensely in it being able to run certain programs.

Using GIMP I manage to give the green linoleum texture (LINO_GREEN_FLOOR) a grid. Makes the floor look like its covered in tiles. Just like the real deal. Check out the pic from USS COD for reference.
Open the dds file with GIMP and click FILTERS.... then choose... RENDER....PATTERN....GRID.
Make the grid 170 in both height and width... leave offset alone. Make the Line width and height one (1)
Open the color panel and choose black as the color and adjust the level (L) to +20
...and there you have it. It looks very nice and authentic.
I would show a screen from in -game but its on another computer that's off line (and will stay that way)
