I have a working beta that I've been testing all day today and will keep testing tomoorow and release it for further testing and comments tomorrow evening. So far everything tests out well, Anvart's flags, FuMo 30, Pennants working with Flakmonkey's new interior and Luca's Open Hatch in Conning Tower. Depth charge shake and Urfisch's Mod Srike effects working as well as all sounds from the above mods such as British Asdic and Animated Sub Pens, Urfissch's mod and Lifeboats and Debris.

Hope the is of interest

Hi chaps,

Just a quick report, I've been testing again this morning and so far everything seems to be working as intended. As the mod already combined sounds in the sh3.sdl from Willhemshafen and Animated Sub Pens mods I've been experimenting with the new combined harbor kit and everything works. I would like to include this mod with the author's permission.

I am of course giving full credit to all the mod authors work that is included in the readme, all I'm trying to do is get as many of these popular mods working together.

I've really enjoyed sailing in and out of the new sub pens or Wilhemshafen lock with Anvart's Flags and Pennants flying and Flakmonkey's engines ticking over and I like the sonar ping and depth charge shakes when I'm under attack (frequently :))

I hope to upload later this evening, I'll be testing throughout the day.

Please note: I am running Anvart's 3GB patch on a core 2 quad 2.5GHz Windows XP pc with 4GB RAM and there are quite a few BIG mods running at the same time. I've been running single missions and campaigns and no CTDs so far.

I was wondering if when you post your beta version, if you could also provide links to all of the mods you have installed. I can not find a number of them by search. I would love to test them along with what I have installed in my game.
Just a thought.

Thanks

Yes mate, no problem.

Now for some news:

Hello shipmates,

I am happy with the work so far, I was hoping to release a beta yesterday but I ran out of time. I've been testing all ing and all seesm to be working as intended.

Before I release the beta I have one question. I have somehow lost the free camera setting, the one that allows you to move around the u-boat EXTERIOR, cam someone point me in the direction of the corrtect file name?. I would really like this back if it doesn't clash with the intended mods. I had a verison of this file that worked perfectly wih FM's interiors and Luca's Open Conning tower mods installed but it's gone walkabout.

More new later.

Best Regards

Okay chaps,

I have just uploaded a beta for further testing. I've tried not to break anything but I'm still finding my way around some of the required file types :)

2. HanSolo's Animated Sub Pen (WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010)

[slipper]

Aces,

Thanks for a great compatability mod mate, makes life far easier :). One question though, the smoke from damaged ships blows out at nearly a right angle to the boat itself and also appears to be at quite a high speed, is this right? I thought it may have something to do with urfisch's mod beta, but in the screens for that the smoke seems a lot better than what i have.

Any ideas?

regards

slipper

[Aces]

Hi mate, that's odd, please try my latest verison "release v1.3 public beta" from my filefront page and let me know.

Best Regards

Aces

[slipper]

Aces,

Thanks for the quick response mate, have downloaded 1.3 and will try tomorrow. The only other mod i was running that is not in the readme is the Merchant Fleet Mod, but that should not cause a conflict should it?

Could you possibly list the mods you have running so that i can try a similar set up please?

Thanks again

regards

slipper :)

[Aces]

Hi mate,

I don't run that mod so cannot say but I'll post my mods list this evening.

Cheers

Thanks Aces,

I have done a bit of a test and the smoke does not seem a lot better. However i made a sort of combi mod with Urfischs_ModStrike_Beta1 as the base and placed the particles.dat from Rbs10-enhancedoilexplosion which is an optional mod of Rbs1_SH4_Effects_GWX_30_71.

This gives some lovely effects, the only draw back seems to be a sort of blocky image when a deck gun shell impacts, i removed particles_explosion_shell.dat from the Urfischs_ModStrike_Beta1 folder which makes it a bit better.

I cannot seem to get good smoke effects with just the Urfischs_ModStrike_Beta1 enabled though, even with everything else disabled.

If i could find out what is causing the 'blockiness' i would be more than happy.

Anyway thanks for your help Aces, out of interest where did you get the following mods ?

Combat Radio Frequency
Flags_enlighten
b25_ConningTower_Mid
SOF_Scope
Subphones
Materials file for Aces' multi-mod v1.3

cant seem to find them anywhere?

thanks again

slipper :)


P.S

Found most of them now, cheers mate

[Sailor Steve]

I loaded up this one, all excited to see the man in the engine room. He was there, and he looks cool. On the other hand, I'm also stuck with Turms Your way, which I don't want, and my deck and flak guns seem to have taken a vacation. Other than that, I like it.

[edit] Never mind, I fixed it. I keep forgetting that I have solved some of these problems before, so when things suddenly change I tend to panic. I just deleted a couple of files and things are once again just the way I like them. :sunny:

Idiot. :damn:

[MADLOU]

When I enable this mod, my deck and flak guns vanish. I am playing with gwx gold. Thanks!

[Aces]

Hi mate,

Can you post your JSGME enabled mods list please.

Regards

Aces

[MADLOU]

Thanks for the quick reply. My mods list is as follows:

GWX_Dfa-Flag&Pens__2010
FM30_UpDown_final
FM Interior _V1.0
Conning Tower Opne Hatch Test Fm food
Depthcharge Shake 2.01
Urfischs Modstrike beta1
Waterstream & Exhaust Combi v. 2.3 for GWX
New Uboat Guns 1.2

I believe these are the ones required by the readme.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

Yes, they are the required ones.

Are you running the latest version of my mod?, Aces' Multimod compatability fix release v1.3 public beta.rar

http://www.filefront.com/16557447/Aces-Multimod-compatability-fix-release-v1.3-public-beta.rar/

The only mod that has anything to do with guns is the New U-boat guns mod you could try disabling that mod and deleting the Guns_Sub.dat file from my mod.

I have to ask, you are installing my mod after these mods?, also is this your complete JSGME list or are there any other mods i9nstalled with the ones you listed?.

Best Regards

Aces

[Sailor Steve]

When I enable this mod, my deck and flak guns vanish. I am playing with gwx gold. Thanks!
1) Disable the mod in JSGME.

2) Go into the MODS folder, and into the mod itself - Data/Library folder.

3) Delete GUNS_SUB.dat.

Make sure you're dumping the one in the MODS folder,and not the main Data folder.

[MADLOU]

Thanks guys.
