What's your mod config?

[dharthoorn]

I'm kind of lost now after installing TMO and RSRD...

Curious to know what the other SH fans have installed!
Please post your mod config & also install order so I can check multiple configs.

That's my current JGSME setup.

[Bothersome]

Here is my loaded mods at my current game...

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
Less Plankton 1.2
SS285 USS Balao_Clean
RSRDC_SH15_V550
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
Hi-Res PPI

But sometimes I get a little tired of the same type so I put my current game (Balao) on hold and load up either the Iowa or the 688i mod and play with those. I have those in saved games too that are right now on hold. This helps break up the monotony some.

The problems with the Iowa is that the missions don't reflect a battleship's role and the 688 is just too easy to sink em all.

Hey Bothersome I don't know if anyone has told you but it's best to use the TMO compatible version of RSRD.

[TorpX]

I haven't started a new career yet, but this is what I'll be using:

RFB 2.0
RFB 2.0 patch
RSRDC
RSRDC patch

any other mods I deem useful..........



Perhaps just as important as the mod soup one uses, are the "house rules" one uses. I have thought a lot about that, and I have the basic ones layed out in my mind.

I would suggest the Nav Map Makeover mod. It's a lot better then the standard RFB map.

Yes, I think that would be a good one.

Besides the TMO version of RSRD you should also install the TMO small patch right after TMO. Your first four should read like mine below.

I wonder why some forget about the TMO small patch?

[Admiral Halsey]

I wonder why some forget about the TMO small patch?

I don't think that many people use it.

[neilbyrne]

What is the TMO small patch?

I looked for it on the TMO thread and couldn't find it. From what I read there, it fixes an error where skippers of GAR & GATO Class boats are offered a TAMBOR as an upgrade.

I also read that if you're running RSRDC as well, it has its own flotilla progression which over rides TMO's and so the error is essentially deleted.

[Kaleun]

Hi,

I couldn't find it again so i've uploaded it

http://k2s.cc/file/52a61e5f6075f/1_TMO_25_small_patch.rar

You don't need to sign up as it's a tiny file!

[merc4ulfate]

This is the link to the small patch here at subsim

[neilbyrne]

Thanks guys; got it.

Does anyone know if RSRDC in fact overwrites the problem?

[Admiral Halsey]

Thanks guys; got it.

Does anyone know if RSRDC in fact overwrites the problem?

I don't think it does. I was playing some TMO+RSRD and I got a Tambor and was never offered another upgrade ever. I didn't even get a new conning tower.

[neilbyrne]

I started the current campaign w/ a P-boat and then got TROUT in which I've completed four patrols. I've been offered an upgrade to new construction which I declined. The real TROUT was sunk in '44 and I thought I'd try to get this one thru the war. I haven't gotten any significant upgrades tho beyond an SJ radar.

[Ghost Dog]

I'm now trying out my 3rd major mod, GFO. which doesnt seem all that popular, even among those that play stock?

I tried TMO but the escort AI and depth charges seem just too dialed up.

I then tried RFB, its lack of sonar lines and course direction for radio map contacts makes it frustrating. I trolled around for days without finding any ships and chasing map contacts is just silly without knowing their direction. (how do they know their speed and not general direction?)

Now im looking for a more challenging, but still stock 1.5 experience. GFO could be it....or maybe RSRD? both?

Do TMO+RSRD. It's the most popular mod combo and the escorts start off easy but get harder as the war goes on.

Maybe because few people play stock.

That's funny; I consider that to be one of the strengths of RFB.

It isn't really that hard. You just have to make careful observations, then translate what you observe into your plot. After a series of successive observations, you will know exactly what you could realistically expect to know, under those circumstances.

[Ghost Dog]

I would consider going back to TMO if there was way to remove the awful 'depth charge splash sound'. It doesnt appear to be something changeable in the /sound directory, it must be coded into the escorts or something.

[MarkCt]

Add OTC. It has a better dc sound. Not to mention all the other benifets.

For the mod setup you're looking at, have "Optical Targeting Correction 1.5 for RSRDCv502" (found HERE (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4052)) added just after:

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
1_TMO_25_small_patch
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1

You'll have to check for yourself if the other mods in your list interfere with any of the workings of the three previous mods (TMO, RSRDC, OTC). I know OTC changes some things from TMO and RSRDC.....but its for the better. "OTC for RSRDCv502" was made to work specifically with the two other mods.....I can't say if the other mods in your list will work with it.

You'll need to pay attention to what gets changed when you "Activate" these other mods through JSGME, to determine if the changes are going to "break" something with your first three mod additions. I've always kept the idea that "more.....ISN'T always better".

[merc4ulfate]

Instead of using Traveller Mod v2.01 for TMO
Use version 2.6 for TMO.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4106

You should find some extra mods in a folder in the 2.01 mods folder. Inside of that folder there is the longer sinking times mod. Traveller put the extra mods in a separate folder to allow others to pick and choose which mods they wanted.

I am not sure if he incorporated the slower sink times in the 2.6 version or not.
