[REL] FOTRS Ultimate Project

[Jeff-Groves]

I may have a suspicion of what is going on.


I'll need to check and see if I can reproduce this or if someone else can confirm this in their install.

What Video card do you have?

While extracting the zip I came across 2 image file overwrites, I'm not sure whether to overwrite them or not, clarification is needed first before my new career start begins.

[Jeff-Groves]

just select auto rename for now.
Those files are on the list of trash to remove for the next Beta along with a ton of other stuff.

Well lookee here, boys. You'll never guess what I just got working.

[Jeff-Groves]

MY!! What a big anchor you have!!


What Unit is that?
I can't tell from the image.
Old eyes ya know?

[Jeff-Groves]

I've created a Beta Testers report area in the Black Hole.
As soon as RR OK's it We'll get you Guys in.


I have a feeling he may be busy today with a little something I sent him.

Jeff, I think you've been hanging out with propbeanie too much lately.

Many thanks and best regards.

Let's look! FOTRSU v0.26. Porpoise. Pearl, middle of 1942.

Well....looks pretty okay but MIGHT see some fine lines in there with my averted imagination.


Yah, he's got more polygons than the US has states there! Yikes! Let's look at the enlisted guy's hat.


Yeah, if you maneuver as close as you can possibly get and find the perfect angle you can see some polygons in the enlisted man's cap too. But it is much smoother than the officer's.

Let's fire up GFO to see how the stock game looks.


Hahahahahahahahahaha! Now I know why we don't remember the officer wearing a polygonal hat. He has no polygons in his hat. He's bare-headed. But this guy has a polygonal HEAD.

So that's the answer. The hat is a mod. It fixes the polygonal head by adding a polygonal hat. Can we do better? Sure. Would it make the game use more memory and run slower for no gain in gameplay? Yes. I think we'd best leave it alone.

Thanks fitzcarraldo, that was fun!

They're good to go as far as I'm concerned. Hey, YOU're a high-falutin moderator. Do some high-falutin moderating, bub! Open the floodgates. We ask that beta testers create an identity so we can sort out who says what. Thanks beta testers!

I think we should post a link to the site and let people see and post as guests without even having to log in. I think that's already enabled in the settings. Jeff? Is that correct?

[Jeff-Groves]

Yes. Anyone can view the Black Hole.

Anyone can sign up.

That baby, and probably some others, are sorely in need of max-peck's pixie dust! Max, where are you?

[Jeff-Groves]

Your the Captain of this boat.
Give everyone the permission to come aboard when your ready.

(We have cookies over there!)

Let's look! FOTRSU v0.26. Porpoise. Pearl, middle of 1942.

My RFB in the same mission (torpedo training, sink the Mogami, Porpoise class), same graphics settings, same GC settings via Nvidia Inspector, all the same.

Hats looks better. And my lookouts have eyes to see! (In FOTRSU it´s needed TMO eyes mod).





I see in your installation, you have the polygonal hat, too. What´s the problem in FOTRSU?

In my RFB, if I apply RUIM, the hats looks better than RFB default, no visible polygons.

Best regards.

[Jeff-Groves]

I'll get a test fix up for the Hat.
I have a clue but it needs to be tested.

[Rockin Robbins]

The problem with melded together mods in a supermod is that it's sometimes necessary to know what mod installed the polygonal hat. Then find another mod which has a better hat then switch the .dds files.

Personally, I'm never going to look at the hat anyway and I don't care if my exec wears a jester's cap so long as he does his job. If he wants to wear one of them origami hats, more power to him. At least they're cheap to replace.
