[WIP] TMO: Nine Delta Two

[Sepp von Ch.]

Thank you VERY much TheBeast, but slowly, slowly please!


What exactly should I do? I downloaded ExplorerSuite.exe (Explorer Suite (Multi-Platform Version, Recommended) here - http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php right?) and now please? Where do I install this ExplorerSuite? In SH4 folder?

It is Stand alone application that not related to SH4 and should be installed to its own destination folder.

Also only install and that´s it for patching my SH4?

Man Ducimus really needs to finish this great mod. I'd take this over SH5 any day.

Eventually.

My plan is to rip the guts out of this one, and do the Uboat side of SH4, focusing on just the type 9 and the indian ocean. It will tenateively be titled "TMO: Uboat Missions"

The install order will be:
1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
2_TMO_UboatMissions
3_TMO_UBM_overwrites

The idea is to
a.) Not have to reinvent any wheels.
b.) Keep both sides of the game accessible
c.) Keep file conflicts for Uboat specific tweeks to a minium, and keep them isolated.
d.) Keep uboat related stuff seperate from the main mod (TMO). It will make updating and uploading easier.


In fact I already started work on it. My JSGME looks like this:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[D:\games\sh4\MODS]

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
UI_GridMap
UI_Hud
Crew_Graph
SUB_LibraryDat
SUB_Objects
SUB_Cfg_UPC
SUB_EquipmentUPC
INT_ConningTower
INT_ControlRoom
INT_RadioRoom
INT_Textures
TMO_Sample_Emblem
Crew_UPC
CAMP_CoreLayers
SUB_Dat_sim

All taht is uboat related stuff. HOWEVER...... its on a back burner for awhile now. For now, Skyrim owns me, and probably will continue to do so for the next couple months.

So, dont hold your breath. It won't be for a good while. Besides, i doubt much anyone will play it anyway. The SH series to Uboat fans is SH3 -> Sh5. SH4 simply doesnt exist. So ultimately, im doing this because I want to, and ill get around to finishing it, when im ready to. (probably after i get burnt out from skyrim).

This post will be the last I speak of it. While im not a big fan of keeping modding information secret (IE. How to do stuff), I have learned that until your very far along on a project, its best to not say anything at all until you have something substantial to show people. The project can change, and burnout may set in, which only push's the project release back further. So don't ask me again, because i won't answer.

But just for the record, you can bet it'll find some audience, just as OM has. And the beauty is that unlike SH3 or SH5, you'll probably find this audience more appreciative, less competitive and less inclined to talk trash, since let's face it, any updates to SH4 these days are a godsend

I honestly haven't touched SH3 or 5 in the past year, but SH4 has had many an outing, and most of them have been on OM U-boats.

Will it still have FM's interior?

I was a Uboat fan until I played SH4 w/TMO which kept me going for many months before I was tempted to give OpMonsun a chance. I ended up with 2 installs one for each

SH5 fried my brain though I may go back to it in the future. Anyway, in your own good time dear sir, the best things come and all that. I for one will definitely check it out.

regards,
Sam.

Just some feedback, I don't know what the status of 9D2 is, but I'm getting consistent CTD as I get near Freetown. Just 1.5 stock and JSGME-installed mod.

Appreciate the effort Ducimus.

Guys, can You help me? I have installed SH4 clean with u-boot missions and then by JSGME - Nine Delta Two but its crashing after a while, suddenly stops and then i see error and game collapse. Is it something wrong with installation or maybe im missing some other patch, mod?

Usually it happens after few minutes of playing, never in Menu.

I've been a devoted TMO player since I grabbed SH4. Thanks, btw.

Now ... is [REL] Open Horizons II a waste of my time? I haven't tried it yet.

[Sailor Steve]

Open Horizons is a mod for SH5 only.

[Arlo]

I DL'd SH5 for my birthday ... though I'm not much on Das Bootin'. Fig'd I'd see for myself if the stem to stern walkable boat and other eye candy was worth a darn and if the mods make the game (hopin that maybe a Fleetboat mod may surface some day).

[test_m4a1]

Please... can someone help me? I read all 20 pages but i didnt find answer on my problem. I have installed clean SH4 + u-boot missions and then ND2 by JSGME and it still crashes without any reason, anyone knows how to solve it? It crashes all the time when im passing Cape of Good Hope, always when i aproach convoy or getting closer terrain. Also I noticed that U-boot from Ducimus screenshot looks different then mine, maybe is it something with graphics settings? (left his screenshot, right mine)

It is realy outstanding mode to play but if it crashed once per 5mins of playing its getting hard to play ;/

I would be happy like DAMN if someone would help me to play this mod

[test_m4a1]

I'm Begging You guys... i did everything i could but its still not working
