US Career, TMO/RFB - i'm moving on...

[Morpheus]

Hi volks!

After playing SH4 for more than a year now (little breaks here and there), i finally want to move on from stock to some new stuff...

Sorry for making another thread about this. But i want to prevent myself from f.cking around for hours, since i don't have the time i used to have when i was younger:timeout: *timerunsoutforeveryone*

The mods section in gerneral confuses me a little since there is god damn lot of stuff to get. I heared the TMO should be best with US Fleet career? And can it be mixed with RFB? What are the install procedures? What should i take care about?

First i intend to install JSGME v2.2.0 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=141773)

Should i install TMO mods in this order? Does it make any difference?

- Trigger Maru - Overhauled 1.7 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=868)

- TMO Hotfix for 1.7 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=1073)

- MaxOptics & SCAF fix TMO1.7_41109 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=938)

- REL_Trigger_Maru_GFX_PAK_2_1 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=1327)


Additionally:

- Real Fleet Boat 1.52 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=428)

- Mod Release: Medal Fix III for v1.5 STOCK (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=1294)


Did i miss something important? Do these mods work with eachother?

thank for all your help ;)

Edit: And also - i have a career running atm (stock & saved at port), can i continue with it after installing those mods?

[Rockin Robbins]

Don't mix TMO and RFB. That would be a monumental train wreck. SCAF/Max Optics is unfortunately already a part of TMO 1.7. I wish it did work the way you put it to leave players a choice to use it or not, but you don't need to load that mod.

With any mod changes, so long as your career is saved in port you can continue it.

[Morpheus]

cool! Thanks for your advice :)

cheers

if we have TM 1.7.. do we need that graphics pack?

it's listed for TM 1.6.3

Good question. Since the GFX mod was not mentioned in the TMO 1.7 notes i thought it would not be included.

cheers

P.S. I'm still somewhat of unsure which mod to try first, TMO or RFB :dead:

[sergei]

The graphics pack is part of 1.7, so you don't need it.
Which one to try first?
I had the same problem! Solved it by creating 2 installs with MultiSH4, one for each supermod.
Then tried them out over the course of a few weeks to compare. That way I didn't feel like I was comitting to one without the chance to see the other.

...2 installs with MultiSH4...
Thanks for that one... i did it so.

Just so much. I was stuck to my computer after having TMO installed :har:

*damn i'm tired*
:woot:

Get use to that you may want to try RSRD, add's realistic traffic layers, why you'll run into fewer ships, you can run into some huge convoys and TF...in reality you weren't sinkin ships everyday anyway. Also adds some more ships and planes, map labels, more locations such as Truk, ect.

[Morpheus]

Are you guys sure that the max optics are already part of 1.7?

This reads in the TMO1.7 Hofix notes: If you want to run Captain scurvey's max optics mod for TMO 1.7, enable it AFTER this hotfix.

As i take from the mod itself, it seems to be a fix for certain things like 2 zoom levels for bineculars x7 and x16. Howerver, i will have a test on it.


As for the REL_Trigger_Maru_GFX_PAK_2_1, it is not mentioned in the Mod-notes of TMO1.7 - can someone confirm wether this is already in or not?

cheers & thx a lot

[Armistead]

I'm pretty sure this is what it is, but someone feel free to correct me.

SCAF and Maxoptics are part of TMO.

The optional Maxoptics is a zoom fix for TMO. It just corrects some things in the previous version if you so desire.

You can read the changes.

You don't need GFX, what was needed is included in TMO1.7

[Morpheus]

Thx Armistead ;)

Edit: Another thing i noticed - it appears that some medals are shown as something else with TMO (!?). The Bronze Star will be shown as Navy Commendation, the CMOH will be shown as Navy Cross. Someone knows more about that issue? thx...

[Ducimus]

Just as a general note, TMO assumes a "stand alone" stance. No mods are required for it to function properly outside of what is officially published by the "TMO Team" *cough* , and what is listed in the release thread and/or current documentation.

The hotfix for TMO 1.7 as it pertains to the max optics mod, is a reversal. In otherwords, i chose to remove the version of max optics incorporated into TMO, by overwriting it with the previous relevant file since its unrealistic to pull down and re upload a 350 MB file and have everyone D/L it again just to replace a 6Kb dat file.

The GFX pack is no longer required, and is an concept i have abandoned. My intent with the GFX pack was to split the mod d/l into stuff i was updating frequently, and stuff i wasn't updating frequently, in order to minimize uploads and user downloads since i was spitting out new versions at a fairly rapid pace.

Hi Ducimus

Thx for clearing that out! I made a TMO stand alone, and must say... since two days i am discovering a completely new game now ^^

:yeah: Hardcore :yeah:

Thank you and respect(!) to you and all of the team

BTW, did you read my lines about the medals? Broze Star will be shown as Navy Commendation, and CMOH as Navy Cross. Not a drama, but i was wondering if this was made with a purpose?

cheers
