Operation Monsun is no longer compatible with TMO. Do not under any circumstances load OM on top to TMO v18, if you do so you will “break” Ducimus hard work

FYI That's "ANY" version of OM

Hello, I have a question about renown in Operaton Monsun. I recently returned to SH4+ Uboats after finding this forum and using it to carefully learn how to install mods (computer noob). I've been trying out new mods, and it's awesome. All these mods make this a whole new game (several games, really)
I downloaded OM yesterday and installed it with JSGME and a careful reading of the FIRST POST

. Recently, I've been playing with RSRDC, so my installation order is:
Stock SH4+Uboats V1.5
RSRDC_SH15_V401
RSRDC_V401_Patch2
OpMonson_V705
OMv705_to_V720
...and nothing else.
Fired it up and started a new career Sep. 1st '39, 1st Flotilla, Type IIC out of Kiel. First patrol off the N.E. coast between Scappa Flow and Scotland went well. Found and sunk a lone merchant for 3,500ish tons with 2 torpedos and a Battleship out of a Task Force for 26,000 tons with my remaining 3 fish. Good work all around, and RTB for an Iron Cross and a handful of medals for my freshly "blooded" crew

. That's when I noticed something odd - there was nothing to spend my hard-earned renown on, everything was free.
Now admittedly, there aren't a lot of upgrades for the Type IIC in '39, and the torpedos available are free anyways, but I was curious, so i did some checking. I started several careers with different dates, flotillas, and boats. In addidion to my first, one I tried:
April 1st '40, 2nd Flotilla, Type IX
July 1st '41, 3rd Flotilla, Type IID
July 1st '42, 6th Flotilla, Type VIIC
At this point, I noticed a pattern, in that nothing EVER cost any renown. Upgrades that became available as the dates advanced were free for the taking, as well as upgraded torpedos. The only times that I had anything to spend my renown on were in '39 and '42, and in both of those cases, there was only one "specialized" crewmember for 750. The other "specialized" crew were free like the upgrades.

My question is this - is this the way the mod is supposed to work? Is everything supposed to be free. Are we supposed to upgrade on the "honor system", or is there something wrong with my install?

Other than this issue, this mod is frickin' awesome and seems like it will greatly expand gameplay. I worry, however, that I'll have a hard time immersing myself in the game if I know that renown no longer counts for anything.

Two other minor points that don't bother me but may be helpful in diagnosing my problem, or lack thereof:
1) In my current campaign,while leaving Kiel from outside the harbor, both Sep. 2 (1st patrol) and Oct. 21 (2nd patrol), when inside the command room I continuously get a vioce message that says "passing thermal layer" even though I am surfaced. This message is repeated every 10 to 15 seconds until I travel far enough for the "dock/refit" icon to dissapear.
2) When trying to visit the Museum to see all the new U-Boats I got a CTD, my first ever.

Again, these are minor things that I can live with, I just figure more information is better than less. Hopefully someone can let me know what I might have done wrong, or if this is the way the mod was intended to work. Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Perhaps you tire of hearing it, but you rock Lurker! Words can't express my gratitude

.

Never seen this one before

Yep, that going happen. I’ve got so many ships between RSRDC/OM that I’ve run into “memory” problems, i.e well over 2GB just to load the museum.

Well, thank you for your prompt response. At least it seems like I installed it correctly. Speaking of installing, I am considering adding OMEGU to Operation Monsun, but am unsure as to how to interpret the warnings in the read-me.
As I said before, I currently run:
Stock SH4+Uboats
RSRDC_SH15_V401
RSRDC_V401_Patch2
OpMonsun_V705
OMv705_to_V720

In the read-me for OMEGU, it says:

"OMEGU should "ONLY" be installed on a "stock" SH4V1.5 after OMv705 and OM705 to V715"

and then:

"Special note: Users of the stock version of RSRDC can also use OMEGU if they wish"

What does that mean for my set-up? Just add OMEGU and the Hotfix3? Or does that mean I can apply OMEGU to each of them, but only separately? Sorry if that's a noob question, just looking for clarification. Thanks.

1. Does this happen no matter where you are on the map ( always different locations ). If yes then there my be part of the radio pack that didn't de-install.

2. next step is to backout all modes after "OM_Arct_Env" and see if it happens.

Akula4745 · 11-07-09, 07:47 PM

Not sure what to think now... maybe a bad save?

1) deleted and copied over fresh radio folder (+ contents) from virgin install - /data/sound/: still crashes
2) uninstalled all mods after "OM_Arct_Env": still crashes
3) went to testbed install and used OM saves folder (w/base OM + OMGEU); still crashes
4) however if I move 50 Km N or W - game plays past 2:31
5) went to next to last save and fast forwarded to Dec. 31 - 2:35 AM no crash

Weird thing is the saved game loads at 00:11 AM on Dec. 31 and lets me play for 2 hours and 20 minutes?

Dunno what to think now. Save in question was made with no contacts other than a convoy spotted by recon aircraft 150+ km south of me - on surface at all stop...

You are running SH4 V1.5 ( Uboat add on ) ?

Nets15 · 11-09-09, 08:46 AM

yes

looney · 11-09-09, 11:26 AM

To be clear I have an unmodded install of SH4 and want to play Monsoon:

This is the correct (possible) mod list?
1: OpsMonsun_V705
2: OMv705_to_ V720
3: OMEGU_v210
4: OMEGU_v210_hotfix3
5: OM_Med_ENV
6: OM_PAC_env
or are the last 2 only needed when playing Mediterranean or Pacific?
