smmo is a combo mod of some things I have done myself, and other mods I’ve used, (either parts of, or entire mods themselves). Most of these changes do not affect overall game play. They are intended to mix things up a little. Basically I am striving for the “Hey, that’s cool”, or the “I never noticed that before” effect. This mod was originally made for TMO, but I thought it would be nice to have for the Real Fleet Boat mod as well.

List of changes and credits;

- Intro music from Fall Of The Rising Sun by AOTD_MadMax, (way COOL)
- Intro and Career end photos from Trigger Maru Overhauled by Ducimus
- Ceiling fan removed from German captain’s office by DarkFish/Te Kaha
- Lifeboats and debris w/ bodies from Pacific Environments 4 by Kriller2
- Various sounds files from Webster’s selected new sounds mod
- Aircraft Reflections by vickers03 (one of my favorite mods)
- High detail lighthouse mod by flakmonkey
- Longer Ship and Sub Wakes by Vikinger

I have also added allot of custom missions by various people.
Note: I changed some of the mission names for continuity sake, but did not alter the missions in any way.

- Tambor198’s SH4 Single Missions, (over 30 missions, WOW) and 1.5 Missions (2)
- Tang and Wahoo War Patrols by Cgrimes
- Rockin Robbins Convoy From Hell
- UBM Mission Pack by Syxx Killer

Now, here are some of things I have worked on;

- New title screen
- Slightly modified Binocular mask
- Some minor environmental tweaks, (.dds files only)
- An updated version of my Navigation Map Make-Over mod
- Reworked the Torpedo Images in the torpedo load out screen
- An Autographed photo of Ginger Rogers in the Captains Office
- An updated version of my Full Screen Scopes for Fleet boats and U-boats, (my first mod)
- Modified deck gun sight and TBT, (sight lines and hash marks are blackish in daylight, and green at night).
- Changed “main menu” and “load/save” screens, plus a significant amount of wording/verbiage changes in the menu file.
- New American and German loading screens, Campaign screens and Museum Screen – a tribute to the “Fighting Sullivan Brothers,
(I know they didn’t serve on any submarines, but it’s MY mod and I can do what I want).
- Plus a bunch of tweaks here and there that you probably won't notice anyways.

This mod is JSGME compliant. Just enable this mod last.

Nice! I will try this tonight when I get back home.

I just have one question - compatibility related: which version of RFB2.0 did you make this from? With or without the latest patch? What about RSRDC?

Most people playing RFB don't play without RSRDC. ;)

[BillBam]

Can you post the link for the TMO version, thanks!

I do use the 23April2010 patch, but the only file it overwrites is the menu file. - I have tested it with and without RSRDC. It seems to work for both versions.

Can you post the link for the TMO version, thanks!


Better yet, here is the thread link http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=158608 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/../showthread.php?t=158608)

I do plan on adding all the latest updates to the TMO version once Ducimus releases TMO 2.0

This mod will overwrite two RSRDC files that I definitely know of - from the Nav Map mod. Other than that I think it should work OK.


The link you posted takes me to the subsim.com...

Oh yea, those are for the airbases on the navigation map.

This is a really big file, but give me a couple days and I'll work on re-releasing it

thanks in advance

WOW, It's kinda weird when an old thread pops up out of the blue. As you can see from the previous post, I never got around to it. I've been working/playing on a TMO 2.5 version off and on for my own personal use, but let me load it up to see if everything works properly. Then I'll see if I can get it re-uploaded for you, but don't expect anything too soon.

[Griffon_301]

wow :)
thanks very much for that fast reply-no need to hurry though with the upload;
I am currently in the process of setting up my version of SH4 and went the RFB way, but I would also like to try out TMO if time permits;
btw, your makeover for TMO is also offline unfortunately;

on a sidenote, and I know this has been discussed here heavily already, but if I would ask you, which mod offers more immersion, TMO or RFB, what would you say?
I played Silent Service 2 and the original SH till my eyes bled, so I know quite a few things about subsims, but I am away from submarining for quite some time now....

anyhow, thanks in advance
phil

YES! This is a topic that has been discussed/argued ad nausea, but since you are asking for MY opinion, I will give it to you. I like them both, in fact I have played and modded most of the super mods; RSRDC, FOTRS, GFO and OM. All of them add to the SH4 experience, and most of the modders include an explanation and reason why the did what they did.

As far as immersion goes, I think that should be for the individual to decide. There are mods that range from nuclear tipped torpedoes to accurate spacing of rivets on the bulkheads. My philosophy is, if I like it, I play it.

I hope this helps, and if not . . . well, you asked.

[Griffon_301]

thanks for that answer :)
I have settled for a FOTRS setup currently, as this one gave me the least CTDs;

anyhow, if you find some time it would still be nice to get your overhauls, both for RFB and TMO;
but no need to hurry....

best regards
phil

Hy there,

Will this mod solve the problem for no map contacts in RFB ?

The link is dead..


Thanks
Canecao

[TorpX]

I don't believe so.

The no map-contacts is part of the philosophy of RFB. It was done that way because the map contacts give you error-free information which makes periscope/TBT observations almost irrelevant.

Hey guys,

The file front download is not working, can someone make this mod makeover download available here on subsim? I would appreciate it

I will see if I can dig it up, but no promises. I may have deleted it. To tell you the truth, I don't know how compatible it will be. The last time I posted on this thread was over 4 years ago. I will report back later if I find something.

[Rockin Robbins]

Great to see you Nbjackso! Post as is and we can get to it later if necessary for compatibility issues. If it's from four years ago, it almost certainly is fine for v1.5.
:up:

[Niume]

thanks its awesome
