The "default" mods have the strongest depth charge shake effect. Note that these options are only relevant for the LRT mod.
- SB & LRT 2.02 - light shake
- SB & LRT 2.02 - medium shake
- Sb & LRT 2.02 & OLC GUI Special - light shake

Hi pkl75
I did a little testpatrol with OLC Ubermod v2.4.2 + LRT 2.02 on a VIIB and everything seems fine.
Thanks for bringing these mods together, great job.
Bye everyone, now i have to go..................up and down on my U-Boot

Wow, You were quick off the mark there pkl75

You say that you aren't an experienced modder but if you have successfully combined all those combinations ( and Haddock's initial report indicates you have), you must be more than capable.

Now all the OLCGui and SB Camera devotees won't be forced to choose one or the other.

VERY,VERY WELL DONE

Thanks Cheapskate! I was happy to read the first comments. Anyhow, if you find any bad functionality please report.

I would still appreciate someone testing the SB camera mod together with OLC and LRT. I will test myself later but I have no time now.

Back to work with another tiny mod..
