[REL] FOTRS Ultimate Project

[Rockin Robbins]

Okay, I have everything figured out except for CapnScurvy's two new keyboard layout files. Holding until I can get them.

I thought that I would make a listing of all the Single Missions and Single Patrols that have been created by yours truly up to this point. Not all these missions have been made available yet in the Beta releases, but will be available in one of the future Beta release and in the final product. This is as much for my edification as well as anyone else.

Kido Butai (Mobile Striking Force)

2. Happenstance
3. Heading to Palau
4. Indian Ocean Foray
5. Joining Up
6. Leaving Palau
7. On The Move
8. Luzon Straits Transit
9. Wake
10. Heading To Rabaul

Aleutains Missions

1. Aleutians Gauntlet
2. Attu Bound
3. Kiska Unbound
4. Three Of A Kind

2. Rabaul
3. Attu
4. Davao Gulf
5. Coast Of Indochina
6. Singapore
7. Shortland Islands
8. Bashi Channel

10. The Slot

Single Missions

3. Maximum Effort
4. Northward Bound
5. Rabaul
6. Ryukyu Run

I am hoping that you'll give these missions a try a some point in time. These are all new missions created specifically for FOTRSU and will not play with any of the other mega mods. I hope that you get as much enjoyment out of them as I had in making them and testing them.

Good Luck and Good Hunting


PS....You never know, there may some more missions later as ideas come to me.

PM sent RR. I could have sworn it would have been in that 704_AleutiansPatrol file, or at the least, the NewAlaskanCampaign file... It is definitely my file though, because I have it on my computer in a preliminary version... very strange - are they both in the "base" that you're starting with? (Big T and little t??)... though I don't know how... I'm confused, but of course, short drive there

Edit: nope. All other Scurvy Fixes are gone from Area 51 so I can't get to the correct files.

Double R, you don't read your PM's?

Here's what I sent yesterday :

The issue is in the Campaigns/Campaign folder. There are two Aleutians_Traffic.mis files. Why, I don't know. Propbeanie pick one, Double R, delete the other. The same with the Data/Menu/Cfg folder and the two OrdersBar.cfg files. Keep the 3/3/2017 dated file, delete the other.

I looked through the other files to check dates etc. All of the ones I uploaded are good.....except for the OrdersBar SNAFU. Haven't run the mod yet, but the files look OK by me.

One additional thing, I just noticed the SH4_Q-Ref_Card images are the older ones. I just uploaded to the Google FOTRSU Core Mod Some Assembly Required folder the newer images of those keyboard layout images. Their in the "FOTRSU v0.55 Ref Images".rar. Please add them before going public.

Those new keyboard layout images are in the "FOTRSU v0.55 Ref Images".rar. in the Google FOTRSU Core Mod Some Assembly Required folder.

All items handled and the file is zipping now. I'll test in the morning for obvious groaners and upload to Area 51. Thanks everybody. Capn, my PM inbox is utter mayhem. Subsim PMs are no Thunderbird with sorting and organization, that's for sure. Sorry I missed your first PM there.

Tomorrow morning I unzip the archive, install and test it to be sure it works. I'll most probably do an S-boat icewater plunge. Those guys didn't have to worry about drowning. They'd freeze to death first.

Holy cow! This list alone is reason enough to play FOTRSU. Now SH4 will appeal to people who don't have hundreds of hours to spend in a campaign. This is big and I thank you!

My pleasure, Boss.

[Rockin Robbins]

Well here we are north of Luzon, testing out v0.56. Capn, I went immediately to 3072 TC. I assume that means I did something wrong in mod assembly.

Propbeanie, at what starting date can I begin an Aleutians series in career mode?

I'm researching what didn't copy now.

[propbeanie]

That is definitely an interesting boat there... The time before when the Capn mentioned restricting TC, I could go to 4096, but our intermediate version the other day was definitely restricted to 2048... Save folder issue?...

The Alaskan Campaign in the mod at this time is April 18, 1942 (when the last of the flotilla came up), S-18 and S-42 boats only. First patrol(s) are around Umnak / Unalaska for shakedown, then you get an assignment to get you into position for the invasion, if you know where to look, and dependent upon which mission you were first assigned (time-wise) and when you come back in from that first patrol, as to whether you get Attu or Kiska or Umnak (which might have you over by Kodiak) again...

[CapnScurvy]

And what in the world is that skin?!?

Is that resolution (1050x800) what you use? Any way of getting it to default to 1024x768? Looks like your crowding the Command Buttons along the bottom.

No, that's not right to go to that maximum TC. 'course, if you don't clean out the Documents/SH4 folder file before you start the game with the new mod, I'm not sure what you'll get. the Maximum TC setting is from the Data/Cfg/main.cfg file if I'm not mistaken. It should be the same as the one in that Scurvy Fix Two mod I uploaded.

That is my S-boat Dazzle Skin, courtesy of Nunya (I think). You have to wear sunglasses to look at the boat at night, which puts Japanese spotters at a disadvantage.

Okay, I'll wipe out my Documents folder and check it out then. In the meantime I'm double-checking files.

The crazy 1050x800 resolution is courtesty of WINE in Linux, which I haven't been able to convince to give me the resolutions I want. Interestingly, with this very non-standard resolution, the screenshot function of SH4 gets totally confused and saves complete garbage. I told SH4 to show 1600x900 full screen and WINE still gives me what you see. So it's not an SH4 problem.

[propbeanie]

See, MS joins the Linux team, and trash your computer anyway... tic

Sen Toku submarine.
It doesn't sink, there's no damage model on it, there's no ship sunk icon on the nav map, it doesn't add to the warship sunk count and to top all of that it doesn't submerge either, a big candidate to be removed me thinks.

Its only good use is as target practice and after this last one I've sunk but not sunk I'll be avoiding them in future, unless you do the honourable thing and fix all of its bad points of course.

[propbeanie]

We've got several people we can call to work on that... I thought it did submerge though... Does it shoot back at you at least?...

There's a fix for that. It's called Windows.
