As feedback goes, i am always looking for it, by way of lurking forums. I watch for what people complain about and how often they complain about it. I just rarely say anything. If a few people complain about the same thing, it gets my pragmatic interest and i'll investigate. If one person complains on two different forums about the same thing, i'll blow it off as a personal pet peeve, laugh about it and pay it no mind; if they press me with PM's or continually hounds on the same pet peeve accross several threads, they end up as something *I* complain about. :haha:

They've been there for months now. Maybe half a year or so.

It's there, but given the entire post, i strongly wonder if your installation is correct. Or if your install has some risidual mod soup action going on. I think your trying to run 1.8 beta without 1.7 installed first.

Install order is thus:
http://forum.kickinbak.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1785

1.) TriggerMaru_Overhaul_17
2.) BETA_TMO_17_to_18
3.) Beta18_Patch1_Ver5_UPC
4.) Beta18_Patch2_ver3_GfxSnd
5.) Beta18_Patch3_SubSkins
6.) Beta18_Patch4_Ver2_Dats

no good
 

I just did a new install. Load them in order with a few other mods. Took them out in order. Game is missing a tga file. I am going to give it rest. I will try stock. If that works, I will reload mods. If not, I will reinstall for thrid time.

The instant you load another mod either before, or after TMO, i absolve myself of any wrong doing! :D

Let's put it in legalize, Ducimus.

"Tinker or screw with my mod in any way, shape, or form, you are on your
own.":D

That might be my issue. The UBI website has been down and now that it is up I still cannot access the download page. So I am confined to port.

By the way, you know that you have to wait in port 4 hours after each mission. I use time for vaious things such as shooting up the port. We need some skirts walking the pier. Plus, it is a great time to fraternize with the crew and knock out a couple of beers listening the Benny Goodman records.

Actually, and this is true, my father was in the 4th Marine division and saw action on Saipan. He was in a medical supply battalion, which was in combat in defense of the perimeter of a field hospital. He was awarded a medal. But that is besides the points. Back to the story. After the fighting, two members of his company went a little nuts, punched out some guys from a tank crew, and took it for a ride up and down the beach. They were court martialed. He represented them at the hearing. So, seeing soldiers walking on or above the water is no big deal.

What do you mean by 4 hours in port?

TMO has plenty girls, just when you dock. However, one port has about 50 girls, not where the band plays, but one pier over.. If that's a bug, it's one we can live with.

Well, that was fine mess I got myself in.

I finally reinstalled everything. Previously, I thought I had a correct installation of the Beta. I had installed the mod in proper sequence, plus a few extra mods designed by Webster. When the game CTD the second time, I reinstalled everything from scratch except the four Beta patches. I added Nicolas' TGT fix mod. Guess what? I never had been playing TMO "Overhauled." I was playing 1.7. For some reason the Beta installation did not take on earlier installs. I think the download mirror was not giving me all of the softwre. My final download of the Beta consisted of the same files, but several of them contained many more megabytes. I knew as soon as I saw "Overhaled" on the opening screen that things were fouled up on the previous downlaods.

I saw panel lights on the right in the main room, I found the captain'ws quarters and Yeoman's office, the various clickable items, etc. I have not checked on the crew, but I am confident that it will be in order. Sorry for the fuss. I thought the mod was running, as I was unaware of the altered opening sequence. I could not see a difference in the game, because there was no difference, because unbeknownst to me, I was unable to acitvate the Beta.

The Beta looks good. I will try it for the next hour, and then call it a day:DL.

one final issue
 

Manning the guns is not possible because they are situated the dials in periscope view. I have seen that before, but forgot how to fix it. Any suggestions?

TMO 1.7 is TMO Overhauled. Simply if you have 1.7, you will see a TMO Overhauled at the loading screen. Not sure what version he considered TMO overhauled, but I've seen Overhauled for at least the last 2 updates. Sounds like you were never playing TMO to start with.

If you don't get a full download the file shoudn't unzip to a mod. When you try to unzip it, it should give an error.

adjust the screen size
 

I fixed the screen size and now can man the guns. I do not know why the beta did not download or activate correctly, but for some reason it didn't. It seems fixed now. The mod looks good. I am half way to my patrol area and everything is working.

filefront just goes spastic sometimes, the other day it kept freezing up halfway through downloads, even small ones.

:hmmm: The "O" stands for Overhauled. Saying TMO Overhauled is like saying PIN number ... when the "N" stands for Number.

He said he wasn't playing "TMO Overhauled", but 1.7. I was stating they were one in the same....:03:, TMO is 1.7. I was using his words so he would understand.

I havn't been around long enough to know if there was ever just a TM, that was later updated to TMO. If you add overhauled to TM, it seems to say that Trigger Maru was once overhauled.. I've only played it since 162

Seems like he's got it all figured out now......so play on.:salute:

:03: Yup, you guessed it. There once was a TM. Carry on. :salute:
