Admiral Scheer/Graff Spee playable for Operation Monsun!

[Sledgehammer427]

Hi guys! :D
Just thought I would post a little treat for all you Ops Monsun players. I went out and made the Admiral Scheer campaign playable in Operation Monsun.
it does, of course, require the original pocket BB mod by Xantro, which is also going to be put on my mediafire page, as well as Mudpig's pocket BB Flack fix, also going up on my page.

so you can download all three from my new media fire page!:rock:

have fun!
I know I did!

*Lurker created a far more detailed and far better version of this mod.

*you can download all three mods from my SH4 mods link in my sig, under my banner:yeah:



Code review shows that this is "compatable" with OMv715

[Sledgehammer427]

What is the install order

it would be

(all your operation Monsun stuff)
then Xantro's pocket BB
then the flack fix
then my AdmScheerOpsMonsun

[ivank]

Cause I am missing my flak guys.

[Sledgehammer427]

:hmmm:

what's your mod setup?

[tomhugill]

hey are you using the tswm damage modeled graf spee or the original?

[Sledgehammer427]

Xantro's original. that's the one I use most. I will keep the SWSM secrets secret until the beta testing starts :D

[ivank]

I think he is using the orginal

My mods:

Setup Trans-Atlantic Radio and BBC
OM V705

oh boy, okay let's see here, it might be OMEGU, I don't use it, and if it does something concerning the flack or crew in general that may be the problem.

[ivank]

I thought that just changes the Enviroment

[Sledgehammer427]

IIRC it also changes some commands and other things like that, it isn't just an environment upgrade, I'm sure lurker will be here any minute to expand.

[ivank]

:DOkay so its off for a new install! SH4 installs:40GB and growing!

[R3D]

i'll assume then that this mod is now dead because of omegu changes? kinda sucks, was nice to play the sheer but you had to choose between old Stock sh4 or monsun :(

[DarkFish]

i'll assume then that this mod is now dead because of omegu changes? kinda sucks, was nice to play the sheer but you had to choose between old Stock sh4 or monsun :(Not at all. This is a problem only ivank seems to have. Just try if it works, it probably does.Cause I am missing my flak guys.something tells me I've heared this before...
My 1st post ever on subsim was a reply to one of yours concerning the exact same problem: missing AA in the playable Adm Scheer with mudpigs AA fix not fixing the problem:D
I put a fix on FF (7th post on subsim and 2nd released mod:D) but I don't have the files anymore and the links are broken.
I described how I made the fix though so you can try for yourself: http://subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=141100

ahhh the nostalgia in here:cool:

[nautilus42]

I have a playable Pocketbattleship with OM_crew, but without a bridge, and i must check working OM_AA_Guns in game. If all working OK, I will release the KMS_Admiral_Scheer.

[Sledgehammer427]

heavens no! you can still download it, and if something's not working I can help you troubleshoot it, I want to see everyone enjoying my mods when they download it.

[R3D]

problem is that if used with omegu and op monsun loaded before it you cannot get the bridge view (so cant tartget ships) and the ship has no crew either.

in campaign and single missions.

[ivank]

I have same problem

[Sledgehammer427]

it must be OMEGU. because I do not have these problems.

[ivank]

I run an instal with-out OMEGU, just OM. Same issues.

[Sledgehammer427]

hmmmmm :hmmm:

I think I know why the crew isn't working. but for the rest....it's hard to say

[lurker_hlb3]

IIRC it also changes some commands and other things like that, it isn't just an environment upgrade, I'm sure lurker will be here any minute to expand.


Well I'm here. I see you guy's think it's the "evil" Lurker's OM/OMEGU that "breaking" your stuff. As if I don't have enough problem's to troubleshoot ( corrupted save files after Turm upgrade ), now I'm going to have to look that this.

I'll get back to you when I get a chance.

[Sledgehammer427]

danke, Lurker, my scheds a bit full to do a lot of testing to get to the source of the problems.
I know the missing crew is from the crewmembers.upc. I can upload a good replacement anytime, I'll do that now, actually.

but the rest is leaving me a little boggled:doh:



CREW FIX UPLOADED!!!!!!!!
download it in my sig can't miss it. but if you do, it is called crewfixforadmiralscheerplayable.rar
the only reason it's rar'ed is so people know the proper directory to drop the file in. the instructions are also in the readme

[ivank]

Thank you

Quick look shows that the "Playable Pocket Battleship Beta 1.1by Xantro" may work with "stock" SH4, "BUT" it "doesn't" work with OM. All these little fixes are justing making the problem worse. this "CREW FIX" breaks the rest of OM, so just to show you that I'm a "sweet heart of a guy", I'm going to fix this "mod" for you and I'll uploaded it in a day or so. Mean while why don't you guys just "take a break"

[Sledgehammer427]

you assistance is much appreciated Lurker. Especially from me. This is a healthy dose of reality for thinking I'm an expert on making things like this work for SH4 :oops:

[R3D]

awesome lurker!! :up:

i did abit of testing anyways i think its Monsun itself breaking the ship rather than omegu. fyi.

[lurker_hlb3]

OK

I completed a detailed code review of this mode. It's going require a "major" rewrite to work with OM. Approximately 60 to 70% of the current files "break" OM out the box. It will require some "reverse-engineering" to figure out the best way to get them work with OM and in some cases the existing files ( library related ) would have to scrapped and new re-designed files created. I estimated a "minimum" two weeks ( 5 hours per day ) to complete this project.


The bottom line this, I currently don't have the time to work on this as I'm way behind schedule on my current list of projects.

I will see what a can schedule, but won't be any time soon

Admiral Scheer for OM v100

This mod allows Xantro “Playable Pocket Battleship” run on top of OMv715 and is based on a original idea by Sledgehammer427


Install Instructions:

Without OMEGU v210:

Stock SH4 v15
OMv705
OMv705 to OMv715
OMV715 Patch 1
OMv715 Hotfix 1
AS_for_OMv100

With OMEGU v210

OMv705
OMv705 to OMv715
OMV715 Patch 1
OMEGUv210
OMEGUv210 Hotfix3
AS_for_OMv100

Special note: AS_for_OMv100 has “ALL” the OM/OMEGU hotfixes rolled into them.

This mod covers the period from Sept 1940 to Dec 1943 and has the Admiral Scheer assigned to two distinct areas to mimic historical operations, “Group West” (Sept 40 to Feb 42) conducting operations in the North / South Atlantic and “Group Nord” ( Feb 42 to Dec 43). The dates used for these operations are “semi-historical” and are a bit longer that real life for gameplay purpose. Home base for “Group West” is Gotenhafen in Poland with a start date of September 1st 1940 and Narvik for “Group Nord” with a start date of March 1st 1942. If you start a career with “Group West” you will receive a “automatic” transfer to “Group Nord” in Feb 42 ( there will be a message that informs you of the transfer )


There have been a large number of changes to the original mod by Xantro to ensure the smooth integrations into OM. In some cases files where removed and in other case the original file was replaced by new files.

Here are some of the main changes

“Periscopes” have been disabled and all targeting for the 11inch guns will be through the UZO.

Damage model has been completely been rebuilt to be and act a little more realistically . The only area that is “below” the water line is the “engine room” so in the “Systems control” window that is the only area where you will see flooding in.

Added “real world” radar and RWR equipment (FuMO 22/27, FuMB4 Sumatra and FuMB7 Timor)

Director with the FuMO radars, now “rotates” (This is based on an original by tater)

sounds cool, I'll have to try it :rotfl2:

give me the link and I'll update the first post
Thanks Lurker!

Thank you Lurker! I'm going to try it this evening!:yeah:
P.S: This mod could be modified as well? It looks very interesting, but unfortunately we cant play the campaign with it (auxiliary cruiser KMS Pinguin). Could you give a look at it?

I will think about it. But now I most get back to work on my current project which is three weeks behind schedule.

[ivank]

Would this project be an new addition to OM?

[Sledgehammer427]

Link added to the first post.
I hope you don't mind that I am also mirroring the download on my mediafire page, Lurker. If you do, I'll take it down asap.

[ivank]

I'm loading it now!

[ivank]

Not seeing it in the game?!

[lurker_hlb3]

Would this project be an new addition to OM?

No, it is an add-on only

[ivank]

Okay still I can not wait!

[ivank]

Never mind me, I opened the wrong OM install. :oops:

[Sledgehammer427]

did you try just the AS for Om mod? don't use anything I threw in.

[ivank]

He is working! But he is pretty low in the water, the anchors are at the waterline.

EDIT: NO AA GUN CREWS

[Akula4745]

No, it is an add-on only

SUBRON 70?

See... some of us were playing attention! :D

[lurker_hlb3]

Hotfix 1 for low in the water

http://www.filefront.com/14677771/AS_for_OMv100-Hotfix-1.rar/


NO AA GUN CREWS is "AS DESIGNED"

[ivank]

Thanks for the fix, and why no AA?

[lurker_hlb3]

Thanks for the fix, and why no AA?


That the way it was when I got it

[ivank]

Oh, well then.
Will Mudpigs flak work?

[lurker_hlb3]

Oh, well then.
Will Mudpigs flak work?

"NO" it will "NOT" work. This has been redesigned to work with OM.

[ivank]

Okay, then I will try another way to fix the AA

[polyfiller]

Ivan - you're not plan on playing when you should be modding are you ? :hmmm:

[ivank]

:oops:You caught me.

But really, I can not mod anything without a completed roster file, and all the ships done.

I am however re-learning how to 3D model so I can help SH427.

[Silent23]

Lurker, SH427, and others, thanks for the hard work on this. It's rather enjoyable as a change of pace.

Silly question, is there some way to choose targets so that once you select fire at will, they target your selection?

[Sledgehammer427]

go to the bridge (F5) and go to your binoculars view. when you have spotted an enemy ship, press the spacebar and a little yellow arrow should come up, showing the gun crews will engage that target at will.

[Silent23]

Thanks much!

[chrysanthos]

i have a problem:/ when the ship gets hit and sets on fire the graphics are weird i mean the fire itself are poligon pixels...and without any mods enabled....can you help me out here? thank you oh i am talking about graff spee

[Sledgehammer427]

you will need the Operation Monsun mod from Lurker in order to run the Admiral. :up:

[joeytom_97]

Link is broken:cry:

[Sledgehammer427]

I am still mirroring the downloads on my mediafire page, link is in my signature :up:
go to SH4 mods, and download AS for OM v100 or whichever one it is. I haven't checked my mediafire in a while, better make sure everything operational

EDIT: Yup, everything works. :up:

[joeytom_97]

Thanks :salute:

[Nemesis1024]

Have to say this is a nice mod! Was cruising around in the Graf Spee the other day, doing missions and sinking those merchants....mind you I ran into a "fast taskforce" at night which I though would be a squadron of destroyers since I generally don't associate the word "fast" with battleships, needless to say I got my rear handed to me by a whole column of battleships, cruisers and destroyers :doh: lol. Fun ship though...just watch out for those BB's!! She tends to be a bit squishy under there guns haha

[Einherjr]

Any solutions for the missing Flack St the Moment?
And i think the 11" Main Guns are weaker than the Guns from the original Scheer/Spee for SH4 ?
But Great Mod! I Love it!!!
