[AVGWarhawk]

Well boys and girls

The “Entertainment” value going to go “way up” with Phase 2. One of the major changes will be to the “Convoy” and “Troop Transport” layers, they are all going to be replaced, using Senji Yuso Sendan Shi (Wartime Transportation Convoys History), by Shinshichiro Komamiya, your will be going up against “real” convoys. Also will roll into ‘messages.txt’ “ULTRA” intel that will replace the stock “contact” reports for IJN Units and convoys.
You sir have just become my new best friend!!!!:up: This is what I was talking about in my last post here. Logical and historical shipping. This is what creates a simulation and not just a game. You just made my Christmas list!!!!

Changes to the convoy & transport layers are very much needed. In my current campaign (July '44) I was sent to patrol the Luzon Strait. There were so many Japanese convoys that I ran out of torps before I reached my patrol area. I think I was seeing two large convoys passing through the strait daily :o

[AVGWarhawk]

I think Phase 2 will handle 1944. Just a guess here after looking at the main post for the mod.

Awesome!!!!! Now TM + ROW + RSRD + NSM = Supermod!

I would suggest keeping them all separate so updates in one don't force a huge download. I would also suggest numbering the modules as well as naming them. This way sorting by numbers would show correct loading order in JSGME. Just by example, here's my JSGME list right now:
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa293/RockinRobbins13/Silent%20Hunter%204/JSGMEmods111407.jpg
Instead of doing it like I have here perhaps the TM files would be 10 and 11, ROW 20 through 29, RSRD 30 to 39, NSM 40 to 49. Looks like that would have to be modified because leo wants NSM loaded in the middle of the ROW modules. Not a problem, just give NSM a number in the middle of the ROW sequence and delete the number range for NSM above. Just thinking out loud here.

If modules had more than 10 files we could go to a 3 digit system. Here's where it makes sense: if someone does not wish to install all the sections all he has to do is install what he DOES want in numerical order.

Irrelevent tangent: You might want to check out that Pearl Harbor Menu I have loaded on top of Silent Service Graphics Mod. it only replaces the loading screen, where you see black and white photos of the devastation at Pearl Harbor and FDR's voice declaring war on Japan. "Yesterday, December seventh, nineteen fourty-one, a day which will live in infamy..." If that doesn't set the tone, you're dead! Someone could tweak the volume up a bit though. It's a little noticed but awesome tweak to the masterful Silent Service Graphics mod.

Which one is which? :)

[DrBeast]

Just a heads-up if anyone decides to use nvdrifter's camera shake mod. It WILL cause a CTD if you let it overwrite. The reason is, lurker has added new bombs in the bombs.sim file, a file that nvdrifter's mod also touches. I've made all the necessary adaptations of the RSRD files to include the "camera shake" effects, and I've asked for nvdrifter's permission to hand them over to lurker_hlb3 if he wants them available as an alternative download.

[LukeFF]

lurker, I suggest that if you want to keep the ships that have been ported over from SH3 that you or someone else get them up to spec in terms of textures, crew members on deck, etc. While it's theoretically nice to have the extra ships, it's kind of a downer seeing ships of IMHO lesser quality than those that came stock w/SH4, not to mention their recognition manual entries look out of place as well. Personally I've just deleted any ported SH3 ships and will keep it that way until they're textured better and/or patch 1.4 is released (who knows, maybe some new ships are coming...). Same goes for some of the aircraft as well (I realize you know that). They just really look out of place, especially since much better ones are already slated for release with SH3.

I hope you don't take this as a slam but as a way to make this already quality mod that much better.

When I go to add this mod to TM 1.6.5, it tells me that I'm going to overwrite a whole load of files. Is this OK to do?

[ReallyDedPoet]

As long as it installs after Trigger you should be good to go. I installed yesterday, but have not played it yet. Looking forward to it as you get lurkers campaign stuff along with all of Ducimus's AI changes as well as the various mods included with Trigger. Of note I also installed ROW with this.

So Trigger, Row than RSRD.

Unfortunatly that is the only order problem I see as your having at the moment. Disable the ROW Triger maru zones special effects and the ROW textures with the sun halo.

Then apply them after The triger maru install and that will fix one problem you might be having from looking at your order of install on your JSGME picture.

Also with Sober's permission we added his better mountain mod to our's so you do not need that with ROW textures.

[captiandon]

I have to say that your mod is awsome. It has done alot for the reality of the war. Its alot harder to find ships to sink and makes the game more enjoyable. Makes every sinking more appreacitive and less of just sinking everything one runs into.

[LukeFF]

A word of warning, those SH3 ships you're removing are used in the campagin layer, which will cause your game to CTD.

Not a biggie. I've gone through the layers and renamed the ones that would cause problems. Not a big deal to have only the Somers Class DD instead of the Sims and Benham boats.

If I read your original post correctly you said that you removed all the SH3 A/C and Ships. If true you’re still going to have CTD’s later on.

If you sink them they stop zig zagging:D . In all reality, learn to sink them when they zig zag. This is what they did to frustrate the sub commanders. Looks like it is working;)

[Rockin Robbins]

I am loaded as follows:
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa293/RockinRobbins13/Silent%20Hunter%204/MWSnap008.jpg
OK so it looks like Trigger Maru should move back to the second position (back in numerical order there!). It was moved to test intro movie stuff. The game runs incredibly and looks much better than last version of ROW. Your campaign stuff is looking great! I am having no problem finding targets and am now attacking a convoy of about 5 merchies protected by 3 escorts, something I haven't seen for ages in naked Trigger Maru.

One item is not to my liking though, although there is tradeoff here. Ducimus gets around the International Dateline bug by starting you west of Midway if you are based at Pearl and select to start outside the harbor. I think that's a great workaround and would like to see it working in the combination setup.

Other than that it's all good! Lurker, you've pulled off the first supermod here. Now if you modders could get together to release it and maintain it as such, a single mod which installs itself correctly and in the correct order, we have a work of genius.:up:

[Angus89]

I assume when you are ordered to an area there is some target set to be in said area. My first asiatic patrol went ok, found a few sunk a few. Second patrol utter failure. Patrolled areas I was ordered to and spent time sinking sampans and such. Over 2k of little guys. Not one merchant ship anywhere. Retired on return to Fremantle. Am I missing targets due to the slow speed of my little s-class, or are some of these patrols areas/mission objectives just goose chases? Little sugar boats just dont have the legs early on to run around too much.:cry:

[panthercules]

I'm using RSRD for RFB 1.31. I'd posted over there about the oddly premature mission objective orders I was getting before installing RSRD, when I started my career on December 1st but kept getting war missions before the war started. I then loaded up RSRD, and I noted that you had skirted the "premature patrol orders" issue with RSRD by simply having every patrol start after the war has started (I know it says you start December 6th, but by the time you actually report to duty it's already the 7th, and the "we're at war" video plays), and so all your mission orders make sense. There wasn't all that much point to starting a week before the outbreak of hostilities anyway (though it was a good way to do some weather testing without worrying about enemies for a few days), so that solution works OK with me.

However, is there some sort of logic built into the RSRD campaign such that it gives you a new patrol objective every time you radio in a status report? As you can see, I've been at sea about 8 or 9 days, and I've been inundated with patrol orders:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/Cladean/SH4-patrolobjectivesmap.jpg

As far as I can tell/remember, it really has been the case that every time I radio in a status report, I get another order to go somewhere else and do something else. Kinda makes me wish for something a little simpler and more direct ("Be more aggressive!" comes to mind :lol: ) It does make me wonder, now that I've actually sighted and sunk a couple or three ships during this test patrol - is there any logic in the game to send any sort of congratulatory message when you report a new sinking, instead of (or in addition to) another patrol objective message?

I suspect that in the early war days it probably wasn't uncommon to be getting a lot of changing orders, so maybe this is normal, but it seems pretty wierd. I do really like the actual order messages though - very much better than the ones I was getting before. :up:

[THE_MASK]

Yeah , but dont you get a message on the bottom of your orders that say RTB at your leisure or something .

[panthercules]

Yeah , but dont you get a message on the bottom of your orders that say RTB at your leisure or something .

This last time, when I radioed in a convoy sighting, I did get congratulated for a good find and told I could break contact and RTB at my discretion, but every time I have radioed in a normal status report I've just been told to go patrol some other location and/or to conduct anti-shipping operations, and given a new objective star on my map - as you can see, it's getting a little crowded on there :lol: .

It's not a big deal - I was just curious if this was built-in logic to happen every single time, or if maybe it was just early war indecision on the part of HQ or something.

For starter's the number of torpedo's you have usualy determin's your getting a new mission to do. Maybe a message can be set up liked to that to say return to base if you are under the number required to get a new mission.

The assignment of addition missions is controlled by the “DynamicMiss.cfg” file. The one that is provided in RSRDC is been modified to disable the assignment of “Special Ops” missions. All the remaining entries are “stock SH4”. If you don’t want any more missions, just stop reporting end.

I have a question for the people that use RSRDC, Do you wish me the reduce or remove these additional “Dynamic Missions”?

No, I would leave them.

i never realised special ops mission were disabled in this mod, it seems a shame that they're out as this is a good feature. what was your thinkin on disabling them and how can i renable them as they add a new layer to the game ala SH1.

disabling the ones like dropin teams in japan and stuff is silly but what about all the rest ie resupply etc

I have a question for the people that use RSRDC, Do you wish me the reduce or remove these additional “Dynamic Missions”?

I wouldn't want to see them removed - I was just hoping maybe there was some sort of "percentage chance" parameter that could be tweaked to lower the chance of getting another such mission when you send a status report, especially when you still haven't finished your current assignment. I guess as long as we know every radio report will spawn another assignment message, we could just stop sending patrol reports. However, I thought I'd read a while back that you really needed to send patrol reports while in your assigned zone to help the game trigger recognition that you've completed your patrol area assignment. If that's true, then we're in sort of a catch 22 here.

Again, not a big deal, and if it can't be tweaked to reduce the chances of getting these extra missions then so be it - I'd rather get them after every patrol report than not at all. But, if it could be tweaked to tone down the number of them, that would be great too.

[lurker_hlb3]

I’ve made some changes to the “DynamicMiss.cfg” file for Phase 2, All the missions no longer have a 100% chance of Inclusion. About 50 % will remain at the stock value, how ever the remainder will now have a 75%, 65% or 50% chance for Inclusion. Also made some adjustments to the required amount of fuel and weapons for new mission assignments.

I assume what your asking me is how to remove the improved visual detection capability, if the answer is yes then:

Before installing RSRDC v110 for TM, go to the “Air” directory and remove the following files:

ADB_B5N2_Kate.sns
ADB_D3A1_VAL.sns
ADB_Kyushu_Q1W1.sns
AFB_A6M2_Zero.sns
AFS_F1M_Pete.sns
ALBS_G4M_Betty.sns

Hi all,

Not new here to Subsim but with a new rig I have been playing alot of SH4 in the past week, with RSRD. Is there a timeline on when phase two will become available? I apologize if this has been discussed, my perusal of the pages in this thread didn't reveal to me what I seek. Just curious, I have a boat in Brisbane that I'd like to take further into 1943 but as I understand it Phase one is curtailed for now in 1943. Thanks to the creator of RSRD, very much enjoy the effort on your part.

I reinstall SH4 1.3 with ROW+TM 1.65+ RDRSC 1.10 and still a crash when starting the same mission in port.

Can you please help me?

Thanks for all

Will look into it

To All using RSRDC V 110 for TM

There is a very ugly bug that will cause CTD after 1 MAY 42. A fix is in the works and will be out shortly

RSRDC P1 TM v110 to v112 readme

Due to an oversight on my part, two campaign layers from RSRDC Phase II were added to this version of RSRDC. These files contented invalid ships types for Phase I and were the cause of the CTD’s in v110.

Please install this patch import.

I love this mod! My first boat was a S-class out of Manila, and well in 3 patrols I only saw 1 convoy; the realism, in the vanila game you would run into a convoy or ship every two hours. Needless to say with only 1 merchantmen of 4000 so tons, I was dismissed for not being agressive enough. That's alright for my next boat was USS Pike out of Pearl, and on my first patrol 14000 tons, 1 single ship sighting and 1 convoy sighting. This mod with RFB is a winning combo just want to know when the next 2 phases are coming out.

I love it too, although I've had a very opposite experience so far regarding ship traffic. I'm just returning to Java from my first patrol out of Manila, and I must have seen at least 5 or 6 convoys already (sank 2 tankers and a small liner/troop transport out of the first 3 convoy's I found, but with all the duds and prematures that took all my torps and I've had to dodge the last 2 or 3 convoys after reporting them by radio) as well as 3 solo freighters (sank 2 with my 4"/50 deck gun - the last one was a big one that survived my remaining shells and escaped from me).

I'm returning home with about 35,000 tons, which seems a bit extreme and I'm assuming that it won't continue like this. But the convoys I did see were well constituted and escorted (they were really troop transport task forces more than merchant convoys, which makes more sense for these first few weeks after the war begins) and the escort behavior was impressive when I challenged them for some testing purposes. I've spent a lot more time screwing around testing things than actually playing, so this was the first real patrol I've run in a long time, and the RFB/NSM/ROW/RSRD combination is looking pretty good at this point :yep:

I think the combination ROW+TM+RSRD is awesome! Thanks a lot to all modders!
SH4 with these modds is another game, a real sub simulation...

About the ship traffic I can say that I found few ships during my first patrol because I was in the wrong place... far away from the trade route. In my second patrol, I found it and I sunk 9 freighters and tankers for 43'072 tons! But when I spotted a convoy, even a small, attack it was very hard because DD's escort. Have been twice hardly depth-charging during hours...

The game is becoming very-very interesting...

Excellent work man, excellent, thanks for the prompt attention.

Looking forward to this fine mod.

Any idea how/whether this RSRD (version for RFB) can be made to coexist with the Depth Charge Shake mod from NVDrifter? I see that Leovampire has made a ROW-compatible version of NVDrifter's mod, but when I tried to activate it JSGME said that it would conflict with/over-write a couple of the files from RSRD (Bombs.sim and DepthCharges.sim), which I was reluctant to do 'cause I didn't want to lose the work that went into those files for RSRD.

Any chance that NVDrifter's changes to those two files are already included in RSRD (didn't see anything in the readme about that), or that they could be incorporated into an RSRD-compatible version somehow?

The file's are from T.M. which mean's it contain's tater's depth charge work but NVDrifter enhanced the shock wave effect of the bomb's and depth charges in the game so that it will move the sub around more without causing damage above and beyond what the value's were set at before.

Which mean's the bomb's from plane's will still expload further under water like Duci wanted but now you will see and experience it inside of the sub with the camera view's.

And see more movment of the sub under water outside view.

I'm having a great time in the battered but not beaten S-36. Not only did she discover both TF's hours before anyone historically knew they were around, but she also gave them a bloody nose. My thanks to all the modders who made this possible. Now if I can only sink something in my assigned area with only two Mark 10's left.:hmm:

Well, as it turned out, the assigned area was a bust. After all the excitement of the historic Kanno and Tanaka TF actions, the San Bernadino area was a huge let down. Not one enemy contact in five full days of patrol. Determined not to return to base with tubes 3 and 4 still loaded, the S-36 set course for Vegan, the site of her first kill. She never made it...

12-22-41 (0935 Hours)
Lingayen Gulf, Luzon

Weather deteriorating. Submerged for routine sound sweep. Sound contact at 24000 yards southeast in the Lingayen Gulf. Surfaced and proceeded on contact bearing at flank speed. Numerous smoke columns sighted to the southeast. Plot confirms at least 35 contacts at Long 120 03 E Lat 16 36 N. Contact report sent. Submerged at 8000 yards. Scope sightings hampered by extremely rough surface conditions. Maneuvered for attack on Nagara Maru flanked by two Kiturin Marus. Torpedoes fired from tubes 3 and 4 at 1200 yards. Both struck Nagara amidship on starboard side. Maru listed to starboard and sank. Escort activity aggressive but not accurate. Escaped to the northwest and RTB with tubes empty.

Historical Note:
In the early morning hours of December 22, 1941, the main body of Japan's Luzon invasion fleet steamed into the Lingayen Gulf. The fleet was divided into three echelons. The first was made up of 1 cruiser, 8 destroyers, and 27 transports. The second had 1 cruiser, 7 destroyers, and 28 transports and the third had 1 destroyer, 4 light destroyers, and 21 transports. Each echelon was assigned a separate area of the Lingayen Gulf. In total the transports contained 43,110 men from General Homma's 14th Army. The landing was supported by numerous aircraft from airbases captured earlier by the Kanno, Tanaka, and Legaspi TF's. B-17's flying from Australia engaged the fleet with little effect. U.S. submarines were also in the area but ineffectual. By the evening of December 23, 1941 General Homma's Army had pushed 10 miles inland.

Patrol Notes:
Half expected marching bands and CMOH :smug: at patrol's end but only got a purple heart and reassignment to the San Bernadino area. War is hell. By way of critique the only negatives I saw were the following:
1. Main invasion fleet was leaving Lingayen Gulf instead of arriving.
2. Did not see one aircraft.
3. San Bernadino/Samar very very quiet. Almost like the Legaspi TF never arrived.
4. No mention of Japanese activity by COMSUBPAC.

Too many positives to remember them all...Great job.:up:

@ Lurker

Sorry to disturb you with so little things...
During my 2nd mission in january 1942 with USS Sea Raven from asiatic fleet I had to proceed to Molucca Strait for anti-shipping action. I didn't spot the invasion force...
After that I received by radio two others missions: proceed to Tarakan Island and patrol in Celebes Sea.
My question is why nothing appears written in the clipboard for mission objectives?

Thanks a lot

As long as we're talking about little things, here's another one for you to consider. What is the logic in the mission order programming algorithm that determines from where you get the various orders that are given to your boat? I'm in December 1941, with the Asiatic Fleet out of Manila, and I'm getting patrol orders from COMSUBPAC. I didn't think much about that, but then I noticed that I was also getting some orders from COMSUBSOWESPAC, so there's clearly some logic built in to have some commands come from both sources (see below):

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/Cladean/SH4-RSRDOrderslogscreen.jpg

Based on what I've read in Roscoe's book and elsewhere, I would not expect for an Asiatic Fleet boat to be given orders by a different fleet's commander. Although it would seem reasonable for them perhaps to get some informational (FOX-type) traffic from COMSUBPAC, I don't think that they would get actual operational orders from anyone other than COMSUBSOWESPAC.

Also, while I haven't found the exact dates when the COMSUBPAC and COMSUBSOWESPAC designations came into being or the short versions of the previous titles that existed at the outbreak of the war, it is my understanding that neither of these titles were actually in use at the beginning of the war.

Is this (the designation/selection of the source for the order messages) something that is easily user-configurable, or does the game more or less randomly select where the orders come from? If this is something that can be "fixed" to be more accurate, I'd be happy to dig back into my research and determine when these titles came into use and what the previous (and potentially subsequent - I think COMSUBSOWESPAC eventually changed to something else later in the war) titles were.

Those messages are "not" being generated by RSRDC. They are coming from the messages.txt file that is part of TM. If you look in the Campagin directory of RSRDC you will "not" find a messages.txt file.

Current published version of Tmaru (1.6.5) contains STOCK depth charge files and bombs. However, i tweaked these to my own settings, are not stock in their values, and are different from taters work. Taters DC work is something i was still experimenting with, but havent implented yet.

Cool - thanks for letting me know where they're coming from - I'm not using TM, so I assume that this must be coming from RFB then. In any event, that should be easy enough to fix if it's in a text file like that (but I wonder what logic/algorithm is used to determine which messages to send to which subs :hmm: )

Now to go see what all is in that file and get to work :D

[EDIT - hmmm - the only things I saw in the messages.txt file were the informational, FOX-like messages about events occuring in the war (like the second one I flagged in the picture above) - I didn't see anything in there that looked like the actual mission order messages to your specific boat (like the first one I flagged in the picture above). Can anybody steer me to where those messages are being generated from?]

[Fincuan]

The mission orders come from the .tsr files in data/Campaign/PatrolObjectives/NameOfPatrolObjective/

[leovampire]

Can you send me in a PM the DepthCharge.sim file and the BOMB.sim file from both RFB and RSRD mod's?

If I am going to solve the problem people are having with the depth charge shake mod for those 2 I need those file's and make the change manualy and post them for people to use.

But I hate to download the total mod's to do this as my hard drive's are filling up fast. Don't want to have to delete game's on my PC just to do this one thing.

It would realy be apreciated!

Seems impossable to fill up 2 500gb hard drives but I am doing it none the less.

[leovampire]

This first one is a T.M. / RSRD compatable depth charge shake download.

http://files.filefront.com/TM+and+RS.../fileinfo.html (http://files.filefront.com/TM+and+RSRD+Compatable+Ddrar/;9115008;/fileinfo.html)

The Second one is a RFB / RSRD compatable depth charge chake download.

http://files.filefront.com/RFB+and+R.../fileinfo.html (http://files.filefront.com/RFB+and+RSRD+Compatable+ddrar/;9115007;/fileinfo.html)

Both are JSGME ready and have a readme file in them.

I got these files from Lurker on the RSRD mod and I added the changes from NVDRifter's work.

Enjoy guy's.

The mission orders come from the .tsr files in data/Campaign/PatrolObjectives/NameOfPatrolObjective/

Thanks, but I checked (some of) those files and could not find any reference in them to what the source of the patrol order would be (e.g., whether it would read as coming from COMSUBPAC or COMSUBSOWESPAC) - any idea where that determination is being made? I'd really like to 'fix" this so that operational orders for the Asiatic Fleet boats come only from COMSUBSOWESPAC (or its predecessor or successor command title, as appropriate) but I don't know where the logic is built in as to which orders are stated as coming from which HQ unit.

Ok let’s go over this “message” by “message”

First message from in Data\Campaigns\Campaign\PatrolObjectives\Sink East China Sea 05\ Sink East China Sea 05.tsr and is part of RSRDC. And is generated when you start the mission.

The Second and third message come from Data\Campaigns\Campaign\DynamicMiss\ContactReport 50\ ContactReport 50.tsr
and is from “stock” SH4 and is generated when you are out of ammo or your fuel is down to 10%

The fourth message is from Data\Campaigns\Campaign\messages.txt and is from RFB 1.31. See the “last” three lines in the file i.e. lines 174, 175, and 176 and is generated based on the date and time that is set at the start of the message.

Thanks for the detailed response - still have a question though. When I looked in the file you mentioned above about the first message, I saw that it did contain the reference to ComsubPac in the text of the message "Make daily reports a 0001Z daily to ComSubPac". That would be easy enough to change by just editing the text in that file. BUT, my real question is, where does the "From: COMSUBPAC" at the beginning of that first message come from? That's the one I was wanting to change so that it would be coming to my Asiatic Fleet boat from COMSUBSOWESPAC (or ComSubsAsiatic, as Roscoe's book indicates it was called at this early point in the war).


[The Second and third message come from Data\Campaigns\Campaign\DynamicMiss\ContactReport 50\ ContactReport 50.tsr

Again - while the text of those messages may be in the .tsr file you mention above, there's no reference to ComSubPac in that file, and thus no indication of how the game decided to label these messages as being "From: COMSUBPAC" instead of "From: COMSUBSOWESPAC" as it did with the 4th message.

The fourth message is from Data\Campaigns\Campaign\messages.txt and is from RFB 1.31. See the “last” three lines in the file i.e. lines 174, 175, and 176 and is generated based on the date and time that is set at the start of the message.

Aha - now these three message lines all have an "@COMSUBSOWESPAC" reference in them that seems to be telling the game to display the 4th message as coming "From: COMSOWESPAC". Most of the "@COMSUBPAC" references I saw in skimming that file so far seem to be FOX-type informational traffic, which probably could stay as coming from COMSUBPAC - I guess I'll have to flyspeck through that messages.txt file and see if I can find any places where they're using that reference to trigger normal operational messages. Failing that, I suppose I could try just replacing all COMSUBPACs with COMSUBSOWESPACs in a copy of that file and using JSGME to install that modified version of the file for when I have an Asiatic Fleet boat, and another similarly changed (but replacing COMSUBSOWESPAC with COMSUBPAC) version of the file for when I have a boat from PH.:hmm:

I now have my path laid out to create a set of tweaked files message-affecting ready for installation by JSGME, but I'll have to have several (1 for ComSubAsiatic 12/41-6/42, 1 for ComSubSoWesPac 6/42-whenever it changed again (still looking), 1 for ComSubPac, etc.) - this is where having an SH4 version of SH3 Commander ready with its date files capabilities would really come in handy.

[EDIT - just a well-intentioned suggestion - if/when you issue any updated version of RSRD that messes with these patrol order files in the "Patrol Objectives" folder, it would be great if you would delete the words "to ComSubPac" in all the messages about making daily reports. I don't think it's worth trying to figure out which ones of those should be changed to ComSubSoWesPac and which ones left alone, but by simply deleting those two words the orders would work for either type of boat and they really don't add much to the message. If your HQ orders you to make daily reports, you're not going to need to be told who to make them to - you're just going to make a status report.]

Okay, I've finally finished a career without RSRD and it's time to get on to higher realism.

Problem, though!

I've loaded NSM, ROW, RFB for ROW and everything runs fine.
I then load RSRD and have the following:

If I run the supplied 'Midway' mission everything works fine.
But, if I run the mission 'Tokio-Saipan Convoy' I get an immediate crash.

Before I embark on a new career, is the above normal or is there something 'lurking' that might cause me problems later on?

And before I forget, thanks so much for your work!

@Bill

I run the RFB/ROW/RSRD mod pure, meaning no NSM. No CTD. My idea here is letting the modders working with RFB to add and test each introduced mod into the entire package. Sort of a building up to a entire mod package free of issues. Just for the heck of it, deactivate the NSM and see if she still crashes.

[Bill Nichols]

Okay, I'll give that a try this evening. 'Tho I was under the impression that ROW requires that NSM be installed first.

No, you just need to grab the correct (i.e. "stock game zone files") version.

I'll look into it.

The reason for your CTD is your install is incorrect. There is a “SCSubchaser” in this scenario that has a unit type conflict. You have either the RSRDC version of the Tokio-Saipan Convoy.mis file or you have the “stock” version on the same file. I have some questions

(1)How did you install RSRDC by hand or with JSGME?

(2)Did you copy original Single Missions back into the system?

The bottom line is that your install is “suspect”.

Please provide “how” you installed the mods and in what order.

[Bill Nichols]

Here's my mod list. All were installed by JSGME in the following order:

Natural Sinking Mechanics 3.3 Classic
NSM3.3_hardcore_torpedo_mod
ROW Realistic Camera vs_1c
ROW Classic Zones Special Effects vs_3
ROW Textures without Sun Halo camera flair vs_4
ROW Sky and Ocean controls
ROW Objects Reflections vs_2
ROW Sub Reflections and Roll Pitch Mod
ROW NEW Clouds from Kriller2
ROW NEW SeaFoam from Jaketoox
Warships retextures_install
BALAO HI-RES Weathered
Gato Hi-Res
ROW Sound Effects vs_5_Final
ROW Sound ADD on Creaks level 1 and Depth Charges surface
Map Labels 1.3
Ambient Sound Mod
RFB_for_ROW_RC2
RSRDC_P1_v103


Files and date for the scenario causing problem are:

SM07 Tokio-Saipan Convoy.mis, 10/4/2007 (this appears to be the RSRDC version)
SM07 Tokio-Saipan Convoy.tga, 12/8/2006
SM07 Tokio-Saipan Convoy.tsr, 2/17/2007

The three RSRDC files for the NSC_Subchaser all have the correct date in my game folder: .cfg is 5/19/2007, .eqp is 10/13/2007, and .sns is 8/24/2007

Please confirm my mods & order of install are correct, and I'll do a re-install from scratch.

Thanks!

Ok


Found the problem. On line 935 of the SM07 Tokio-Saipan Convoy.mis, the line say’s TYPE=5, should read TYPE=1. When I ran the editor it didn’t throw an error that you usually see when there is a unit type mismatch. That the only places were this error exists. You’re safe to play. This problem will be corrected during the next software release.


Also you should use RSRDC v111 which is built for RFB, see first post of RSRDC thread for link.

I've experienced a series of CTDs with RSRD 104 (newly installed SH IV, Patch 1.4, RSRD, no other mods except a changed menu background).
I can start a career and even leave port, but within a few minutes of play the game crashes to desktop.
It always happens when I want to open a received message. At first I thought time compression to be a point, too, but I've had CTDs even at normal time.
I've used JSGME to install RSRD 104. What did I do wrong?

I tried it with the 1941 campaign, both homeports (Manila and Pearl), the problem occurs in both cases.

P.S.: I've just tried it again. It always crashes during the evening/night of Dec 8th, 1941.

Clay,

On the first page at the very bottom is the updated RSRD 1.4 mod. Download and use this one. Deactivate any earlier versions. I recommend you do it in port. Apparently there is a message fix but it is still not working.

Anyway, I have the new 1.4 RSRD and it runs just fine.

Lurker,

Finally getting a chance to enjoy this mod. Its really nice, appreciate the work you did in the messages. Just left Manila, 12/41 working my way North to Luzon Straits, receiving plenty of FOX Traffic with additional tasks/assignments.

Lots more immersive!

Thanks!

[rascal101]

Can any one tell me if anyone has yet merged the best of RSRD, TM and ROW?

I have played SH4 with each of the above and think that a merge of all three plus 1.4 should about be the bee's kness in terms of a Pacific War Sub Sim.

I would address this question as much to the developers of the three mods outlined above, their work has ellivated SH4 from almost unplayable to a fantastic game which for me has now surpassed SH3, even though I personally would rather play Atlantic theatre.

One big megga mod featuring the best of all three would be fantastic

Thanks to all

R

[Fincuan]

It's already possible to have all three at the same time in 1.3, and I'm sure the mod developers are working on that for 1.4 too.

I’ve conducted a number of controlled tests trying to recreate your CTD. Current I’m unable to recreate your problem. The message.txt that comes with RSRDC does not send its’ first message until Dec 23. The only messages that are generated on Dec 8th are two messages about Pearl Harbor, that are part of “stock” SH4 and RSRDC as no effect on there generation.

Recommend that you de-install RSRDC and see if the problem continues.

RSRD fans and Lurker can blame me for that probably. I focused on the job at hand, and i didnt document anything because it took too much time to do so. Normally i annoated changes to some degree,, but this time i didn't.

I had TM broken apart and in pieces, reconstructed it for patch 1.4, and I changed alot of stuff on the fly as needed or warranted. For anyone working with the TM mod itself, it will make things alot harder for them. This wasn't my intention and i apologize for that.

[Ostfriese]

Recommend that you de-install RSRDC and see if the problem continues.

I've already done that, and there's no crash without RSRD. Additionally, only the 1941 career seems to be affected. A Jan 1942 campaign with RSRD runs smooth.

If the problem is with RSRDC, I first have to recreate the problem before I can fix it, if the problem is truly being caused by the mod. Since I have not heard any other users saying that their have the same problem, I can not proceed with any fix for your problem. Any other details in regard to your problem would be helpfully

[AVGWarhawk]

Not sure what might be causing this CTD but I have had no issues with the mod at all. I have all ROW working with exception of the sky and ocean controls. Ostfriese, are you sure there are not other mods loaded?

One question about this mod...I understand that currently only a portion of the war is covered by the mod. Does that mean that the other uncovered periods are stock SH4 or have some changes been made throughout?
Thanks!

[AVGWarhawk]

Hi Mr Lurker,

Love your mod, it has really added a sense of reality to the game, one question, I wonder if you have any plans to release a version ov your mod that combines the best of NSM, RFB, TM and ROW also please check out [REL] Prolonged DC Attack by Peto (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=233661) its brilliant and really makes for a hard and suspensfull game
I think that is what sober is attempting with his "SSM" mod at the moment.


Got to RFB or TM mod pages and you will find this is incorporated. They have made them compatible with other mods such as NSM and Taters new campaign layers/DC mod. They are coming along. Currently I'm running:

ROW
RFB for ROW
RSRD for RFB
just installed Petos prolonged DC attack mod behind it all and it works great.

Won't be long before the very large mod packages are available. It take time and work so we be patient and wait.

No, If you read the first all the "stock" layer have been replace one way or the other. Please read the first post carefully and you will see what has been changed.

So AVG, you are running ROW on 1.4 with no problems so far?

[AVGWarhawk]

@ Archie,

Yes, I run the ROW mod that was set up for patch 1.3. There are two pieces of it I do not use. ROW ship reflections and ROW sky and ocean controls. I do not care ship reflections and how my card renders them. Sky and ocean controls have a different set up and does not work well with the new 20000 vision offer up with the new patch. Leo is fixing that. At any rate, I have no issues running these mods together. The game is pretty much flawless with these mods.

If I may be so bold, can I ask what order you are running them in on JSGME?

[AVGWarhawk]

ROW camera
ROW objects reflections
ROW special effects with stock zones
ROW sub reflections and pitch
ROW textures without sun glare
ROW slower clouds
ROW classic sea foam
RFB for ROW RC1
RSRD for RFB 113
Oakgrooves dials
Prolonged DC attack....this overwrites some RFB AI reactions, great mod here
ROW sound effects...I have the here to overwrites any sounds in the previous mods installed.
Destroyer on attack run voice mod.....testing this one out and it is pretty good.


The game runs great!

Thanks mate, i'll give them a whirl :up:

[rascal101]

So to check you have RSRD and the row files below plus Prolonged DC etc.

My question with your experience do you think NSM3 and the latest TM could be added with out many worries.

Just wish these great mods and their respective modders would combine, if they did I recon we'd have something at least as mega as GWX perhaps better.

[AVGWarhawk]

At Rascal101

I would say at this time NSM is not ready yet. If you recall, Leo made a NSM mod compatible with ROW. Do you recall Leo had the classic, reduced and stock special effects for NSM? Being Leo is working on ROW right now, I would suspect that the NSM would not work well. Personally, I would wait until Leo has ROW out that is 1.4 compatible. As you can see, I have two ROW parts that I do not use because they do not work with the 1.4 update. ROW special effects for stock would obviously work fine as the file is basically stock. So I left that in for now...

Also, I do not know were Werner is with the new updated 1.4 NSM. I believe his has a thread started for testing somewhere around here.


As far as TM, I believe Duci is reworking the whole deal. He also has a thread started somewhere around here.

[Wilcke]

NSM is currently 1.4 approved, Werner has new information available as well as a nice video on what NSM 4.0 will do for 1.4.



Check out Werners thread for info.........http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=120269

[tomoose]

I've been bouncing back and forth between the pages of this thread and still have a doubt so I'll just come out and ask.
Can the RSRD be installed over TM1.7? The very, very first post indicates 'yes' but there was a later post that advised against it.

:-? Confused in Canada, LOL.;)

[Bluesub 6]

Yes,you can!
RSRD 114 for TM 1.7.

[Fincuan]

Yep. The later post is probably posted at the time when RSRDC wasn't compatible with TMaru, where as the first post has been edited to reflect the current situation.

[tomoose]

Thanks, gents.:up:

[jasonsagert]

I noticed that the Flotilla.upc provided as compatable with TM, in fact, isn't. The dates for the availablility of the Gato and Baloa are wrong. This causes two things I've noticed. 1) when trying to start a career with "construction", only the gato is an option instead of Baloa and Gato and 2) when choosing Gato under "construcion", you can never transfer to Pearl Harbor as the date is wrong.

RSRD "TM compatable"

[Flotilla 1.UserPlayerUnitType 4]
ID= F1Gato
NameDisplayable= Gato class
AvailabilityInterval= 1942-04-12, NULL
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= Gato
UnitTypeCommonality= 10
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= NULL


TM 1.7

[Flotilla 1.UserPlayerUnitType 4]
ID= F1Gato
NameDisplayable= Gato class
AvailabilityInterval= 1942-03-01, NULL
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= Gato
UnitTypeCommonality= 10
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= NULL

RSRD "TM compatable"

[Flotilla 1.UserPlayerUnitType 5]
ID= F1Balao
NameDisplayable= Balao class
AvailabilityInterval= 1943-07-23, NULL
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= Balao
UnitTypeCommonality= 15
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= NULL

TM 1.7

[Flotilla 1.UserPlayerUnitType 5]
ID= F1Balao
NameDisplayable= Balao class
AvailabilityInterval= 1943-03-01, NULL
IDLinkUserPlayerUnitType= Balao
UnitTypeCommonality= 15
IDFlotillaLinkTransferTo= NULL

I would simply change these dates and move on, however, I don't know what else I might need to change and there also seems to be other inconsistencies between the two mods withing the Flotilla.upc file.

I thought I'd bring this to attention. If I've missed something and these are fine, sorry for the bother.

Cheers,

J

[Fincuan]

Just change the availability dates you listed to TM1.7 values, and you should be able to transfer after the three New Construction patrols. I came across this same problem when building my own TM compatible version of RSRDC, and can confirm that the above solution works.

Remember that the Balao New Construction career starts exactly a year later than the Gato, and thus has it's own career start date in the menu. It was there in an earlier release of RSRDC TM compatible version, but I haven't checked the present one.

Anyone know where I can download RSRDC P1 TM v112 or the patch from 110 to 112 ? The links to filefront don't appear to be current.

Ok....?

What version of RSRDC would I play with TM-1.6.5 and patch 1.3 ?
I no longer support these versions

Just to make sure I understand.....?

1. If I want ROW and TM - I have to use the 1.3 compatible TM-1.6.5 and RSRDC with it is NOT an option.

2. If I want to play TM & RSRDC; I have to use TM-1.7x and one of the current RSRDC releases, and patch to 1.4, and ROW is NOT an option.

[claybirdd]

afraid so but certainly not for long as Leo is currently working on a 1.4 compatible ROW.

I was wondering if your mod is still compatible with TM because Ducimus has released a new version: TM 1.7.2?

[lurker_hlb3]

The Campaign
(Version 116 Trigger Maru 1.7.2 Compatible)

This version of RSRDC is 100% compatable with Trigger Maru 1.7.2 Compatable

Installation / Compatibility

RSRDC (TM Compatible) is designed to install over the top of Trigger Maru 1.7.2 using JSGME, hand installation is not recommended. You will need to start a new career after installation and old save games will not be compatible with RSRDC. Do not attempt to install this version of RSRDC on any version of SH4 other than TM 1.7

Special Note:

Normally I also upload a mini-patch so people can do a version update without re-downloading the whole mod. But in the case of v116 I have to remove two files to ensure compatibility with TM172, therefore you most install a whole new version of RSRDC.


------------------------------------------------------------


V114 Changes

The changes to RSRDC were to support compatibility with TM 1.7

Added:

Add Narwhal Class Sub to Campaign.

Various small changes to support TM 1.7


Special Note: Since the RSRDC SpecOps Missions for the Narwhal Class is not complete for Phase II, integrate in the original TM 1.7 SpecOps Missions into this version of RSRDC.


-------------------------------------------------------------


V 116 Changes

Fix start data for Gato/Balao Class so they will work correctly with TM’s New Construction Flotillas.

Remove DepthCharge.sim and DethCharge.zon as they conflict with the ones in TM172

Doing a great mod that is so time consumming and having to make it work with all the other Mission type mod's out there! If anyone deserves a great Christmas present in apreciatetion for your work and dedication you do! :rock:

[jasonsagert]

Lurker:

Did you test v116 with TM's "new construction"? I'm curious as it's still not working for me with the new version of TM. I have limited time to play, so I haven't looked at the flotilla.upc files closely myself.

Anyway, if it works for you and not for me then I'll just let it go, however, I'd really like to use your mod with TM.

J

[djeeper]

It was suggested that I post here as well.

I'm trying to return to Pearl after running out of torps. It's june 43 and I'm around 135E 25N. I get a sighting of a task force that is entirely cruisers -light and heavy. Anyways there has got to be about 100 of them. The line of ships is 17NM long.

This TF causes my game to virtually stop, and it has taken me hours of real time to try and break contact because of the bogging. When I break contact and the FPS picks up to normal I save the game and then go back to play. I have gone 1000's of miles N and S from this contact but when I try to head back to Pearl I run into another or the same TF again and the game virtually stops.

I'm running a new install of SH4 with the 1.4 patch, TM and RSRD for this patch.

I'm wondering if anyone has had this before. I've also tried starting the mission from Pearl again and have had the same results when the torps run out and I try to head home.

Cheers

RSRDC Emergency Patch

This patch applies to ALL versions of RSRDC. Very bad bug in the 42a_Jap_Taskforce.mis file that cause two groups of cruisers to generate over 1000 times. This will cause SH4 to lockup. See the following post for details.

Hawk, d/l TM 1.7.2 and then the RSRDC v118 TM version and away you go. Once Leo has signed off on the ROW mods that are compatible with patch 1.4 you will have evrything you need for the complete SHIV realistic experience. (IMHO of course... :arrgh!:)

Just 'finished' my 2nd patrol in the new RSRDC 118 TM compat. Have not seen 1 jap ship!! In the 2nd patrol (its mid 1942) I was sent to the Aleutians to recon two harbours (Kiska and somewhere else) then I was to RTB at Dutch Harbour, well, I reconned both bays, no japs, returned to Dutch Harbour, my mission star greyed out and my messages said I had completed but would not allow me to dock and end patrol at Dutch Harbour, so I thought, OK, must have to refuel and head home to pearl, did that, got back to pearl, same deal, won't let me dock and end mission, only refueal/rearm, so I thought, OK (Again) I must have buggered off from Dutch too soon, better head back, made the long trip back to the Aleutians, pulled into Dutch and.... can't dock and end patrol......:hmm: Is there a tonnage requirement to end these missions that they didnt tell me about in my briefing???

Yes, that is correct

[mrbeast]

do all the changes u made with this mod makes the shippin lanes on the map that comes with the game out of date?


Yes, that is correct

Do you have any plans to release an updated map of some sort that indicates possible areas of heavy shipping traffic?

[Fincuan]

One could always look at the .mis files and check out the exact shipping routes, but the paper map seems to be a pretty good guideline to the routes, even if it's not entirely accurate with RSRDC. During patrols I have noticed that the paper map is somewhat accurate at least what comes to the following routes:

Japan - Singapore
Japan - Palau(Koror)
Japan - Rabaul


If the patrol area is somewhere in the western Pacific, then one will almost always run out of torpedoes because of crossing at least two of these routes. Especially in 1943 those seem to be some kind of troopship highways. If you're after tankers, then Korea Straits is a good place, and also the middle part of the Yellow sea. Just beware of the hordes of fishing boats in the Korea straits area. I bagged over 20 during my last patrol, with the biggest "fleet" measuring over 10 boats :)

[Laffertytig]

nah i thinks its more fun not knowin where the shippin lanes are. i mean skippers wouldnt be handed a map with that info would they

whenever i get sent to the gilberts or marianas its really hard to find targets whereas of the SE coast of japan u can regularly find convoys passin each other

[Hawk_345]

yeah. thanks, i seem to have it working now, and so far im impressed.

[mrbeast]

Perhaps rather than a deffinitive map with all the shipping lanes marked for the whole war, the map could take the form of a more general sort of intel report, just giving clues of Japanese shipping activity. General areas, maybe based on a period map. :hmm:

I'm sure USN sub skippers must hae been given some sort of intelligence report of where ONI expected enemy shipping activity to be, before they where sent on patrol.

Terribly sorry if someone has asked this question, but the thread is rather long.

Is this mod now setup for 1.4? If so, can someone give me a link to installation instructions to use RSRD with ROW?

Thanks.

Thanks.
Yes, it works on 1.4.
ROW is not yet fully 1.4-compatible.

[Fire]

Just that i understand it:

When I'm running a campaign with this mod and TM 1.7.2, i get only Merchant Traffic and no more Task Forces in the campaign?

The Task Forces are only modelled till mid 1942 ?

Thank you!

I noticed that ROW is oganized into different and separately downloadable mods. Are any of these okay to use with RSRD? Or should I leave ROW alone until there is a defiinitive announcement about its compatability?

[Fish40]

For now, just stick with the ROW downloads that has "1.4 compatable" next to it. RSRD is a major overhaul to the campaign. Don't think adding anything graphical, such as ROW would be a problem;)

Thanks, once again. Earlier, I decided to go with RSRD (the correct one:)) and TM 1.7.2, and I haven't been "blown away" so much since Gray Wolves. I just have two quick questions about the mod(s):

1. I've gotten really used to "F5" being the conning tower, and "F3" being the NAvMap. Is there a way to change these keys back (or should I just get "used" to them)? I suspect that it's in the Data/CFG/Commands file, but I'm really too much of a modding newbie to mess with this.

2. How do I get rid of the "walking about the decks" feature?

Other than these two minor problems, there are no graphical anomalies, and I'm happily sailing towards Midway. I like being able to see, at night. Also, a test crash dive brought back a few memories of a real experience!

One final question: Does the "Refit" option when in range of a friendly port end your current mission, or just allow you to refuel, etc.?

[hyperion2206]

I have a question concerning one of the patrol objectives: I've been ordered to the Aleutians to do some reconaissance and I wonder what I've got to do to complete that mission. I assume I have to stay near the objective icon for a certain amount of time,right? But how close and how long do I have to stay?

All you have to do is proceed to each recon area. Ther is no time limt to remain on station. In RSRDC if you are required to remain on station for a period of time you will get that info during the briefing.

One final question: Does the "Refit" option when in range of a friendly port end your current mission, or just allow you to refuel, etc.?

I might be able to answer two of your questions:
1) There is a SH4 Keyboard Config App . . . check out this link:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=117517

3) The "Refit" option only refits (torpedoes, fuel, and most repairs except hull damage) when at friendly ports or sub tenders. Just remember that when it comes to torpedoes, Refit only fills your reserve slots, not your tubes. You have to manually move one of your reserve torpedoes to a tube slot and then the automatic reloading will commence again. Simply go into time compression to speed up the reloading process and when it's done, Refit one more time to fill the reserve slots that just got emptied from reloading. This way you leave a refit with a full complement of torpedoes.

Have a question for you. Is it hard to add back in the photo and other missions you didn't want for this mod work?!

Could you give me an idea on how to add them in so I will not have anyCTD issues?

Sorry I like those original game missions as well so wanted to have the best of your mod and some of the original missions.

I will download the new vs and start again as soon as it is ready.

So far I like what I have found in the shipping set up's.

At the moment I only have your layers installed I didn't use the mission stuff as I wasn;t sure about the phto recons and what not.

I know the Dynamic mission file controls the missions so was advoiding using it till I got some info from you.

BTW Merry Christmas

With your ship and plane files and the bomb stuff and what not just omited the Dynamic mission files and folders and I have no CTD problems.

Another words for the moment I am just using the work you did for the shipping layers nothing else and the game is running fine.

I only play the campaign part of the game just once in a great while do I do a single mission.

No I was asking you about the campaign missions only when it comes to the photo recons and insertion and supply missions.

How I can add them into your mod set up and get them as well as all of your work.

No there is no way to do it with out a major rewrite

[leovampire]

Well I guess I will have to work on it and see what I can come up with on my own adding those to your work.

Manualy without the editor program as I know that is what I will need to do to make it work from what I read in the posts here for the mod.

If I manage to do it without CTD's and problems I will give you the files incase someone else wanted the same things.

I know how to do this stuff just hadn't done it since the 1.2 patch release.

Been rellying on Duci and everyone else for good campaign set ups since then. I guess it is time to start customizing again for my own game. :damn: :damn:

Thanks for the info Lurker.

Nice. Good to see the new American warships get a texture overhaul. Those Dutch ships need the same kind of love. Those are some fugly textures on those cruisers.

Wanted to make sure before I started to add and or swap things around.


Yes

[lurker_hlb3]

During one of my endless code reviews I found a problem in the mission assignments for SubPac units from 1 Jan 1945 to end of war. This bug will cause the player to not be assigned to the correct patrol area. The Player will only get assign to the “Bashi Channel” over and over again. This problem has been in RSRDC since the beginning and this patch will correct the problem. There are three versions of the patch and you only need to download the one that affects you.

I will not be rebuilding all three versions at this time but may do so at a later date. I don’t want to make people re-download the entire mod for this minor fix.

Just curious...

Could I not just put the new Flotillas.upc from the patch into its corresponding file in the original download, mine being RSRDC_P2_v200, and be done with it? Just one less file to have to mess with in the JSGME program.

Just love RSRDC btw. I also added the two other AI kick-butt files from the latest version of TM to your already fantastic MOD, along with some other graphical MODS. That gives me the reality of your campaigns, the tenacity of the enemy, with graphics I like. Really a great combination.

Thanks!

Due to “another oversight” on my part I failed to change the XXX_shp.dds files to be compatable with TM 172. This patch corrects the problem. Patch 1 for v220 is also included. Just de-install “RSRDC_P2_Patch1_for_V220” from JSGME and install this replacemrnt.

:|\\ Run Silent, Run Deep





The Campaign





Phase II






“Run Silent, Run Deep, the Campaign” (RSRDC) is a major rewrite of the campaign layers of SH4 and is designed to overcome the following major “stock” campaign problems:

The various stock “battle” layers (i.e. BurmaJawa.mis, BattleOfMidway.mis, BattleofGuadalcanal.mis, etc) are sub-standard, not only from a ship content point of view but also from a track generation point of view and in my view completely un-reliable from a game play point of view. The reason for this is that these layers are written in a “Scripted” format that is completely unreliable when playing in “Career” mode.
The various Taskforce, Convoy, and Merchant layers that are total devoid of reality.
The mission objectives are sub-standard and need a major rewrite
The Special missions are also sub-standard and need work.RSRDC solves all these problems:


Installation / Compatibility

Use RSRDC_P2_v200 for stock 1.4

Use RSRDC_P2_TM_v220 for TM172

Use RSRDC_P2_RFB_v240 for RFB


RSRDC Phase II is a Rollup of all changes to RSRDC since release. “DO NOT” use “ANY” Phase I versions with this mod or you are going to get a CTD. Save games from Phase I “should work” with Phase II, except in the following cases:

Narwhal Campaign using TM172. Due to the rework of the Narwhal Stationing at Pearl Harbor ( 12/7/41 to 12/31/43 ) and Fremantle ( 1/1/44 to 9/1/45 ) plus new missions assignments, you will have to start a new campaign.

Campaigns starting at Mios Woendi. The position of this base was wrong and has now been corrected.


Phase II Overall Changes:

The major change is a complete rewrite of the “Single Merchant / Convoys” campaign layers that were originally in Phase I. Using the Senji Yuso Sendan Shi (Wartime Transportation Convoys History), by Shinshichiro Komamiya, RSRDC has recreated 1055 convoys from early 1942 to the end of war and rebuild all the single merchant and tanker shipping routes.

All IJN/USN battles / campaigns / ship movements have been recreated in all theaters from Dec 7 1941 to June 1 1944.

Main Campaign files


(a)XX_Jap_Convoys: These layers have been rewritten from scratch using Senji Yuso Sendan Shi
(b)XX_Jap_Merchants: These layers have been rewritten from scratch from Phase I
(c)XX_Jap_SubHunters: These layers are now 0 length files.
(d)XX_Jap_TaskForce: 41a, 42a, 42b,43a have been rewritten to show the historical movements of major IJN units (BB, CV, CA, CL and Task Groups). The 44a and 44b layers are CA/CL/DD based task groups and are “not” historically correct and are currently “place holder” for Phase III upgrade.
(e)XX_Jap_TroopConvoys: These layers are now 0 length files, IJN troop convoys are now part of XX_Jap_Convoys files
(g)“Battle Layers”: AleutiansCampaign.mis (new layer), BattleOfGuadclcanal.mis, BattleofMidway, BurmaJawa.mis, CoralSeaBattle.mis, NewGuineaCampaign.mis ( new layer) PearlHarborAttack.mis SolomonIslands.mis and EastAsiaCampaign.mis layer are rewritten to provide historically accurate recreations of these battles. BattleofPhilippine.mis, BattleofPhilippineSea.mis, BattleofTruk.mis, and are zero length files and are currently “place holder” for Phase III upgrade..
(h) Revised messages.txt


Special Notes/Known Problems:

(a) For those of you who enjoy “reverse engineering”, if you use the SH4MissionEditor on the “Battle” or “Task Forces” layers, under no circumstances make changes or select “ok” in the “Group Properties” window. If you do, you will cause All the tracks within the layer to longer generate correctly. The reason is that I’m making “hand” edits to these files to ensure that the tracks generate “on time”

Library



Changes:

Bombs.XXX, DepthCharges.XXX and DepthCharges_IJN.XXX have revised settings


Added:

AI_Sensors_AB.dat (IJN Airborne radars)
AI_Visual_Sensors.dat (New visual sensors from TM)

I am talking 30+ explosions from one torpedo and over 100 depth charge explosions from only one depth charge attack...Something ain't right in denmark..:nope: Now if i cannot fix it , how do i remove it??:damn:

You might want to show what other mods you have installed. Particular mods have to be loaded in the correct order. Also, are you using JSGME? If so, just deactivate the mod and you are back to square one.

Which version ?

What other mods do you have installed?

Did you use JSGME to install ?

When and where was your attack ?

Hi There,
I've D/Ld 2 of the mods, one for stock sh4 (works perfectly) and one for RFB. This is installed over 01-RFB_1.4_for_stock_RC1. Everytime I start a career it CTDs. Am I doing something wrong? The error I get is simdata.dll
Any help appreciated.

Just tried it, no CTD. What sub did you pick and what other modes are you using and in what order were they installed

I cannot get the V_200 patch to download. I get the download box and it searches for the file but it never finds it.

Getting file information
x6 from 38.(long number)

hope the info helps.

EDIT: It seems to be a problem with Filefront, after about ten tries, it downloaded

RSRDC_P2_TM_V220 is not compatible with Ducimus TM 174 Beta patch. I will build a new version of RSRDC that will work with it shortly. In the mean time, if you download TM174 please disable RSRDC “before” you apply Ducimus new upgrades. If you re-apply RSRDC you will “loss” the new SubRon50, but all his other changes will still work.

Sorry Lurker,

Can you please indicate me where have you found the TM174 beta patch?

Thanks

I believe if you look at either the first, or last page of the TM thread, you will find it. Duci also indicates that this is the final work on the mod for him. I guess a well deserved rest is in order:yep:


Found it here in its own thread:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=127595
