rsrdc

damn man. I just went on a patrol. now take it it is January 14 1942. beginning of the war. was told to patrol off Tokyo. found no ships. headed to the Luzon straight. still no traffic just lots of air patrols. I am at a lost on how you guys find traffic while playing this. I need some tips. I snuck into a harbor and there are plenty of ships in there and I seen plenty of airplanes but just no ships out on the sea. I am also using tmo too and yes I have the rsrdc patch.

In early war it is darned hard to find targets in RSRDC. I much prefer the native TMO campaign. Keep an eye out for our Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate mod. It will make you reconsider even using TMO. FOTRS Ultimate accomplishes the holy grail of SH4: extensive eye candy without negatively impacting gameplay. And let me tell you, the graphics are worthy of GWX for SH3.

Among others, like the Shinano, the Kaga appears in SH4UBM for the first time after nine years! And that is only the beginning. We aim to be the go to mod for all reasons. That's a mighty high bar and we aim to clear it by a large margin. Even in its early Alpha versions, FOTRS Ultimate amazes us who are developing it.

It's not available to the unwashed masses yet, but we will be releasing a public beta when our bug/feature list is cleared.

Study the map that came with RSRD, have to find the shipping lanes.Early war is tough.Radar is a big help once available. I have not played in a while but I loved RSRD for the historic nature, but it took a while until I learned the shipping lanes.

I have not went on patrol in a long time, mostly because just dont have the time to really run a patrol but this could force me to come back for a while. Look forward to it!

I 2nd this recommendation and really hope that the FOTRS Ultimate mod will be compatible with this mod too, my favorite campaign and pretty much the only one I still enjoy using.

Happy Hunting!

I would love to have both Sofu Gan and the Spyron mod included in FOTRS Ultimate. However changes to the Spyron mod may be necessary to make it work. I understand that the Spyron mod is primarily a collection of missions?

Also for us to support the Spyron mod it will be necessary for the Spyron mod to support us and be available under the control of Aanker or someone at SubSoWesPac on the Subsim download site as a FOTRS Ultimate Plugin Mod. It is possible for a Subsim download to be merely a link to your website if you don't want an actual copy of Spyron to live at Subsim.

But I like what it does. It eliminates all the hokey missions and replaces them with something entirely historical, fresh and interesting. I feel strongly enough about it that if it isn't compatible with FOTRS Ultimate, it should be made compatible. It may be necessary to go mission by mission and replace Spyron specified vessels with FOTRS Ultimate vessels. A little known "feature" of the Mission Editor is that it uses whatever mods are loaded when the missions are made. It uses ships from the list made available in whatever mod is hooked up to SH4. FOTRS Ultimate doubles the number of merchies in the game and adds dozens of warships. We may have to go mission by mission through the Spyron collection, find out what happened in reality and hook up appropriate FOTRS vessels to the mission. This should actually improve Spyron by making it more historically accurate. But, not having looked at Spyron, I may be premature and talking out of turn.

Our goal is nothing short of replacing TMO as the goto mod of SH4. The compelling part of making the argument that it should be will be in the plugins collection to be released after the core mod. The core mod will be the best available in SH4. With the plugins, FOTRS Ultimate will be in another universe. We're remaking the game in YOUR image. For the first time the player will be in control.

Spyron uses whatever ships are in the Stock game, the added ships in just about any mod like TMO still work, and only changes these files in:

\Data\UPCCampaignData\:
CareerStart.upc
Flotillas.upc
PatrolObjectives.cfg
CareerTrack.upc

and in: \Data\UPCLocalization\:
UPCLocalization.tsr

It adds files to \Data\Campaigns\Campaign to change the Campaign and Patrol Objectives to more historically accurate missions, and it adds Bases, some DD's, Patrol Craft & traffic from the Stock game to some areas. It doesn't care what a ship looks like or if there are more classes of ships added to the game.

Sofu Gan and the Panama Canal are also added.

You are free to add Sofu Gan to FOTRS if you like, irregardless if Spyron is compatible or not, by the way.

Spyron is a Campaign, it is what it is, and can't be changed or hosted on any other site. It has been used successfully in TMO with TMO added shipping.

A lot of guys used it without trouble using TMO 1.9 in the Pacific Thunder Campaign aka the PTC. and some run it on top of TMO 2.5.

It doesn't work with RSRD.

(sorry for 'hijacking' going off topic in this thread : )

Happy Hunting!
