View Full Version : Question.....:)
Howdy guys,here is the question....Is there anyway to not have to do everything you need to do at the start of a campagin.IE=pick your guns etc,and crew every time you start a new one??
Also I've given up o the enemy planes..No matter what I do they will not attack me..I have tried everything and taken bits and pieces from different mods and nothing helps....:damn:

Clay, on the planes, you must have some mod soup going there. I'm playing TMO, attacking a really nastily guarded convoy in the north end of the Formosa Channel. They've called in air support three times so far to try to shorten my lifespan and those planes were not carrying decorative ribbons or birthday cakes! Stuff went boom and I dove for the bottom quickly and enthusiastically!:D
Methinks you need to go for a reinstall to restore proper gameplay.
You may be right RR....:wah:

I think Formosa has to be the worse place late war. I love going there. With TMORSRD, it's murderous. The planes are relentless, have radar. Never seen so many Coastal Vessels with 6 Y guns, shallow water at times..
I found a BB and Carrier late 44 with 6 escorts. I was 14nm away, but they picked me up. I ran and they finally went back, but planes are keeping me under..I'll be lucky to get an end around.
It's amazing, planes were vectored in and you can see them making circles searching where I was earlier.

Planes rather consistently kick my butt around... if they are not attacking something isn't right. Maybe I should try YOUR mods... <G>

From reading the notes of RSRD, the latest version he changed plane traffic. Stock planes drove so many crazy, every good mod maker cut them way back. I liked what lurker did with latest RSRD. He put in more plane traffic in a reasonable way. It there is a lot of jap activity, expect a lot of planes, even more than stock. Take the Solomon's during 42, so many jap planes...but that's realistic. You get out of an area infested by japs, it goes back to normal traffic, which is very few.
With the many added planes and harder settings with TMORSRD, planes are about perfect....Love the way they fly near convoys and TF, constantly hunting you down.

I really think RR is right, you have mod soup. If you're having problems now, you will later.
What mod's are you running would be the best place we could start and help you?
You need to stick with one supermod and possibly RSRD. Yes, there are a possible 100 mod conbinations, but you don't know what you're doing mod soup is a mess. Certain files you don't want to overwrite, why some are no problem.
These are my mods.. I have gone thru them and moved stuff around and there are no conflicks at all...

I run several mods myself, so don't take this as picking...you have mod soup. I don't use RFB and someone else could better respond to that, but I see others that would conflict. Some things you don't need as they are provided by other mods.
Your running ver 1.4 and that would really concern me with all those mods.
Hoping your game isn't corrupt, I would unload them all and start with RFB only. It really deals with many of the things you have.
I haven't looked at RFB lately, so I don't know if that's current or if you have all the needed patches for it. If you're going to run RFB, you want to be sure to use mods that work with RFB, so ask in the RFB mod thread. You may not get answers, you may, cuz they ain't gonna go through every mod to see what is compatible.
After loading RFB..stop, as hard as it is and make sure your files aren't fubar. If they are, you'll have to uninstall the game. Personally, if my game was fubar..and I've done it a few times, I would uninstall anything related to the game, including mods, cuz you never know what's screwed up. Even if mods appear to work, they may screw up a part of the game you can't see. When I load a mod, I go through every conflict that concerns me, check the settings and file changes to see what's happening. I've loaded a few that worked fine, but found out later they screwed the supermods AI sensors up. If you know what you're doing you can tweak things, but that's dangerous itself.
Webster makes great mods, but I don't know that any of those are compatible with RFB, I assume most are not. Most are for the stock game.
He has updated some for TMO, so he may have for RFB. I use his smaller rain, rocks, ect...Webster is fairly good at answering question, so I would ask him. I just know most of those don't work with TMO and assume they wouldn't with RFB.
If you want to load other mods, load them one at a time and play awhile to see if the changes even take effect.

I think RFB already kills the grainy effect, so you might not need that one.
Ok all I can tell you bozo's..(:D)..is that I went thru all of the mods and anytime it said something was already changed by RFB I removed that file from RFB and everything runs smoothly ,works and there are no conflicks..:yep:....The only thing is the dam planes wont attack...I'm going to try 1944 and see if there is any difference....:hmmm:
Well? the bozos crack is a joke guys....:haha:

The problem comes how the overwrites effect other aspects of the game.
I think you're doing twice the work, but still going to end up with the same results. Certain files effect how other files work, so hope you know what you're doing.

You probably don't want to here this ClayP but I had a similar problem last fall and wound up having to do a fresh install. Where I had changed mods so many times back and forth it changes some of the files.
At one point, I went thru four patrols and seen two planes and I was in home waters. A re-install fixed the problem and they once again became aggressive.
Well as long as it continues to run smoothly I'm not going to re-install....:hmmm:
