Thanks for hard work on your ISP 2.4! :rock: I'll post more later as I get time.

No problem. Glad it's working well.

You don't have to post a great deal of details if you don't want to; just ..the weather was stormy - I loved it... or ..the weather was stormy - I hated it... .

One thing I'm especially interested in: if anyone has an experience where they are able to observe the 'constant helming' behavior, I'd like to know if that seems better. I tried to make a comparative test, but the game was acting up, and I had trouble tracking the targets.

What would go boing if we added this to a TMO+RSRD mix?

The main thing is RSRDC has a different suite of ships. Any that were added would have 'stock' behavior. The Narwhal might not work right. The RFB version of RSRDC made changes for it.

I'll DL a copy of the TMO version of RSRDC, and look at it. If the ships' files are the same as in the RFB version, it shouldn't be too hard to produce a compatible ISP version.

Be still my beating heart ... thank you Topr for looking in on it.

I would love to add RSRD to TMO and have the latest version of ISP with it.

TorpX 12-24-14 10:54 PM

NEW VERSION
 
I uploaded v 2.6 for TMO with RSRDC. The link is on the first page.

I was able to put it together fairly quick, since there were few differences between the RFB version of RSRDC and the TMO version.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

TorpX deserves a medal

Wow this is pretty cool. The sea has a much more realistic affect on the boat now. If my rudder is out of the water in rough seas I simply do not turn. Once it hits the water it spins on over. The waves push at me and turn me off course and at times I had to keep a 10 degree port rudder just to stay straight. That is good and real because I remember doing the same thing in storms at sea when I was at the helm in the Navy.

I'm in a storm in the Celebs sea and got right into a convoy of three merchants and four escorts at about 0530.

Visibility is down to about 100 yards even at 0800. I have sank two escorts and two merchants with deck gun only and let me tell you it was not an easy thing to do in these seas.

My arrogance got the better of me however in that I was too close to the second merchant when she blew sky high... it destroyed my boat and we sank to the bottom.

Everyone should have ISP.

Does it work my with current mod setup?
  • TMO
  • RSRDC
  • OTC
  • Traveller
  • ISE

TorpX 12-30-14 01:05 AM

You'll have to try them to find out.

  1. OTC - don't know. It may be ok, pay attention to what is overwritten.
  2. Traveller - probably not, but you will have to try it to find out.
  3. ISE - most likely this will be ok.

Hey TorpX,

I thought you should know about my "findings" :haha:.

Anyways, ISP seemed to work with my mod setup. I installed it last and as expected, it modified many things from TMO and RSRDC, not really sure if it did modify some things from OTC, Traveller & ISE as the list was crazy loooong. But its working in-game no crashes whatsoever.

Cheers for an outstanding mod, definitely an addition to my mod setup now. Thanks for this! :up:

RFB, RSRD, NMMO, ISP 2.15. Feb 42 About 40 nm north of Java. 15 m/s winds and what must be like 40 or 50 foot waves that are confusing my diving officer as he constantly says "current depth 2-0". Normally I submerge until the typhoon passes but I wanted to get in on the Battle of Java Sea.

I catch up with the ABDA force outbound from Surabaya. I'm w/sw of them when I notice that roughly 1/3 of them are sinking so I started looking for the enemy with the external cam - nothing and no gunfire from the ABDA force and no shell splashes or explosions, just the eerie sounds of sinking ships. So I'm not 100% sure they were sinking from the waves but that's what it seemed like.

At this time, steer course commands were impossible with any TC. E.g. Steer course 320 with 32 TC resulted in a course of 280 within 15 secs of actual time. Following a plotted course worked and I could see "3 deg stbd" down by the heading/rudder pos dial.

In not quite three months of game time, I've encountered these "typhoon" conditions 3 or 4 times. 1 or 2 typhoons/month in the S Pacific seems excessive.

I love this mod and the fact that people much smarter than me are continuing to improve SH4. Just some humble (not very well documented) feedback. Is decreasing the wave height a simple scene.dat adjustment? I imagine it is more complicated than that. (Forgive me if I've missed something in the readme or on the forums!)

The frequency may be too much, but I have no control over that. You can reduce the height of the waves, but then you will never have rough weather. The weather seems to get stuck for whatever reason. I am not happy about it, but that's the way it works. Keep in mind, that the waves may look like "typhoon" conditions, but are still less severe than what a RL typhoon would be like.

Thanks for the reply Torpx and thanks again for the mod. Re-reading through the ISP 1.0 thread showed again the amount of work and attention to detail you gave to this mod.

pdiddy 02-05-15 11:03 PM

My weapons and sensors notes on the weapons and sensors page go missing when I install ISP 2.15 over RFB/RSRD. For example, instead of all the info about the WCA gear, it just says "WCA notes". Anybody else experiencing this?
