RSRDC, Another day, Another Patch.

[lurker_hlb3]

Without going into a lot of details, “Configuration Management” (CM) for RSRDC has gotten out of hand. With the current 5 versions I’m trying to support, it was only a matter of time before I started make major screw ups with the various versions.

Therefore effect immediately I’m dropping all support for RSRDC that runs under version SH4 V14. The current v14 versions will remain up on my Filefront site for now, but I’m going to remove them effective 1 April.

There are another set of patches for the SH4 V15 versions that are going up today to correct more problems that have been found. I know that I just posted a set of patches yesterday and I sorry I have to release “another” set today, but when you “mix and matches” files across versions your going to get “burned”.

Today’s patch corrects the following problems


The Campaign.LOC file from RSRDC causes U-Boats to spawn in building/piers when the user selects the “start at tender” option.
The Camgaign.cfg file for TMO version of RSRDC left out some campaign layer that are unique and are required to run TMO correctly.
I hope this the last time something like is going to happen.

What I find absolutely amazing is that you were able to go this long and keep all of that stuff straight.:o

My hat's off to you for how smooth you've been able to make maintaining so many versions for the users:up:

Hey Lurker , do i apply patch RSRDC_V355_Patch2 over the top of patch 1 . or do i uninstall patch 1 from JSGME and then apply patch 2 .

[Meridian]

Thanks for taking the time to delve into it and provide a fix Lurker. :rock:

ALL patches are "roll-ups" deinstall & delete old patch, install new patch

[silent killer]

:up: thanks lurker,you are working to hard on these mods to rsrd to make them compatible with other mods, take some time out. thanks again for your fine mods

[Charlie901]

Thanks for making this great Mod!

Will you be changing the main RSRD file versions for 1.5 stock and 1.5 TMO to include the latest patch in the future?

[scrapser]

All these patch version are getting confusing. I have SH4 1.5 with the TMO Mod plus the two TMO SP files (1a and 2). Is the patch "RSRDC_V371_Patch3" meant to be used with the lates TMO for SH4 v1.5? I ask because the previous file had TMO as part of the name (like this...RSRDC_TMOv15_V371).

If it is, do I install over what I already have or deinstall and just use RSRDC_V371_Patch3?

Again sorry I have to ask. I'm sure you're getting overwhelmed trying to manage everything.

Thanks

Sad news this dropping support of 1.4, but there's only so much a single person can do. You and Ducimus are heroes :yep:

Correct, 37x versions are for TMaru for 1.5. Deinstall any previous patches and install only the latest (it's cumulative).

Lurker,

Do these patches include the Destroyer Sensors and Radar mod that you and Kakemann created?

Yes, that is correct. And yes, it is :yep:

[AlmightyTallest]

What exactly is the Destroyer Sensors and Radar mod that you and Kakemann created?

I'd like to read more about it :)

Read all about it here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=132134).
Uh...no, I'm not lurker's secretary, I just happen to have a lot of answers for questions that lurker can't answer right now (unless he gets up UNGODLY early in the morning) :rotfl:

[AlmightyTallest]

lol, thanks for the link DrBeast, much appreciated.

I thought it was a fix or a total reworking of the Radars for Japanese shipping. I'm guessing RSRD already had those fixes for Japanese ships though.

The IJN Type 13 Radar fix has been part of RSRDC for quite a long time now. Way back from Phase I, if memory serves. Corrects the issue of Japanese merchants carrying Type 13 Radar, again if memory serves (it usually doesn't, I'm afraid!).

How does your version differ from the combined radar/sensor mod?

[lurker_hlb3]

Kakemann released his version about 2 minutes before I was about too. His first version had only the sonar fix, I had both. What I used is the one I was going to release.

Lurker does your latest mod release cover TMO SP1b and SP2........

I love your mod by the way awesome effort.................imagine if the game Gods took all your stuff and Ducis as well as others and put it into the one big kick ass game like they should have.....and payed you lot for it we would need less patches.........and have a game that would truley be worth what we paid for it.....

I still can't believe they released the 1.5 add on (U-Boat Career )with american voices and compass etc...etc...... bloddy minded money makers who only half care about us gammers........

its the modders who are the real workers doing so much to bring a good game with its bugs and all to dam near perfection................:up: :up: :up:

i salute you all........
