[REL] Trigger Maru Overhauled - Page 251

What exactly is the "Terrible T" campaign?

Ducimus was thinking about having a campaign where one spent their entire career in a single boat, a while back. Could this have anything to do with the problem?

Edit:

Ducimus answered this in another thread.

So I recently started playing SH4 again and updated to TMO 2.5.
(been on an SH5 kick. FWIW, SH5 has come a long way and the mods for it are spectacular but SH4 is always going to be the mainstay for me)

Do I need, or can I use SCAF with 2.5? Is it necessary? Does the stadi work decently in 2.5? If so where is the measuring point? Top of the mast? Top of funnel? I like to use "no map updates" so having a properly working stadimeter is important for my tactics.

Any info is appreciated. I'm currently running these mods in this order.

1 TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
2 TGT DIALS TO PK FIX - TMO
3 RSRDC_TMO_V502
4 SCAF for RSRDC_TMO_V502

Your running the correct mod already for SCAF....The SCAF ship ID book should have red lines showing where the measuring point is on each ship.

I recommend you to add the RSRDC Patch, and MaxOptics 4. Both are here in SUBSIM.

How do I enable stock gramophone with metric nomograph? Tried replacing all "METRIC_usergramophone.dds" with "usergramophone.dds" in the metric nomograph optional mods menu.ini file, but it did not work.

Also is any version of SCAF or OTC compatible with TMO 2,5? They seem quite essential to get correct ranges from the stadimeter, or can I go on and play without those mods?

SCAF has been discontinued/replaced with OTC. There is currently not a compatible version of that mod available.

I use SCAF with TMO 25 plus RSRDC, and no problem...

Actually, I loaded up TMO 2.5 and OTC for TMO for my current patrol/campaign and haven't had any issues....yet

. I just wanted to see if it would open up and its been very stable with no noticeable glitches.

Just going from memory, I have loaded up the following-

TMO 2.5
TMO 2.5 small patch
OTC for TMO
OTC 5x4 res
OTC realistic scopes
EAX sound without Webster's manuever

That said, I've only got about 4-5 hrs of time on it.

jahlmeen · 03-09-12, 10:05 AM

Okay

Here is stock gramophone + metric nomograph for TMO 2.5:
http://www.2shared.com/file/WGyR0JX8...eMetric_S.html

TMO2.5_Stock_Gramaphone+Metric_SpeedChart_Nomo.rar

I guess "speedchart" is not included, as it is stock gramophone, just fyi.

If it works, that's great. The version of OTC available for download is stated to be compatible with 2.2, though.

The last version of SCAF was compatible with TMO 1.9, and that includes the version which was released for RSRDC. Again, if it works, that's great but don't be surprised if some oddities creep up in the long run

Actually the last version of SCAF works well with TMO and is what I use. SCAF only changes the values in the recognition manual. From the testing I have done, the range for 90% of the ships is dead on and the other 10% is +/-10%, perfectly acceptable for a game.

OTC overwrites many key TMO 2.5 files like Nisgeis 3d TDC /range mod, so it is not currently compatible for TMO.

SCAF to the rescue, then. Good to know, thanks for the clarification

Small follow-up: OTC is now compatible with TMO 2.5

This would tend to validate my idea that the "Terrible T" campaign has broken something. It would be nice if Ducimus could back the "Terrible T" campaign out of the main mod. My preference would be to stick it into the optional mods directory.

Absent the Tambor bugs, TMO 2.5 is ideal from my standpoint - it makes SH4 into a first class WW II sub sim.

Fix for the "Terrible T/ Tambor bug" can be found here:
