well the sound isn't a game killer, just kinda funny to hear some guy yell AHEAD FLANK while evading the Royal Navy ;)

system / weapon management screen is not accessible on the IXB during patrol

I really like the new tricks of having the boat go to ahead standard for depthchanges, is that historical protocol? did boats not have the ability to go from 30 m to periscope depth on schleichfahrt? it's a little weird to see the 'schnorkel not available' pop up every time but i guess i can just fix that with a ';' in the commands.cfg until i get a schnorkel on the boat

nice work :salute:

akula: yeah i'm aware of that mod but i don't swear by it. the one thing i am still looking for is something which adds creaks to the UBM setup. I hate taking a deep dive and hearing nothing at all until a sudden complete pressure hull failure and death
thermal layer is: 'Wir passieren die thermal schicht' (sp?)

Unable to recreate

weird, it's a clean install with opmon 712 + hotfix and OMEGU200 patch 1.
torpedo screen, crew screen, 'damage control' screen are there, but the systems screen is not.

i also got a weird graphics glitch when under depthcharge attack, all the crew got black weird looking shadows cast over them as the light flickered, the shadows then stayed. i may have a screwed up install somewhere but i cant imagine how it got screwed. I'll try to get some detailed information with screenies is need be, but all the negative feedback is starting to annoy me, prolly a thousandfold so for you ;)

I can tell you OM makes no changes what so ever that are causing your problems

To All

I have re-uploaded OMEGU v200 Patch 1 with changes to hopefully correct some of the german speech problems. Request any one who has downloaded it before, please download again

Hi lurker_hlb3,

All WeO___.ogg-files in the Speech_Folder 1 are not nessecery, because the Weo_speech-files not used in SH4_1.5_game. No Entries in the Phrases_Voice_1 - _ 9 .dat`s and there is no Weapon_Officer in the German U-Boats like in SH3. All Werapon_orders comes from the CE_officer (LI).

You need the re-read the install instructions in the first post of this thread. TMO is not a "valid" mod to be used with OMEGU.

This problem is because of the scene.dat file. These results are currently unacceptable to me and I'm currently working on it. I currently recommend that all users deinstall OMEGU and "remove" the scene.dat file from the mod until such time as I can fix the problem

Lurker

I hope someone can answer this question

What are the main differences between RFB and OMEGU?
which one is more challenging?

currently I am playing careers in both American and German campaigns; I have: RFB + RSRD + OM + minor mods (Das Boot speech, real clothes, radio stations)

I know I cannot install OMEGU since it will conflict with RFB, and if I uninstall RFB, I won't be able to use OMEGU's with the American campaign

To answer your question based on some resent test is that you "should" be able to play RSRDC + OM + OMEGU. I'm working no a change in the next version of OMEGU that will allow you to play both US and German sides

thanks!

OMEGU v200 Hotfix 1
 

OMEGU v200 Hotfix1 is a new "scene.dat" that corrects the unacceptable detection range in fog. This is a "mandatory" fix for OMEGU.

New changes for OMEGU
 

I'm think of adding the following to the next release of OMEGU and would like some opinions:


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../newstuff1.jpg

Looks good. I especially like the idea of moving the message box. It always seemed to get in the way. Could you make it as transparent as possible?:yep:

I love the smaller clock and the old style tools but I personally think the message box looks a little bit weird there. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be awesome.

Since I see you're tweaking OM and OMEGU here's a few things on my wish list, some of those are available as separate mods but it might be nice to have built in:

1- Historically accurate German flags (Controversial I guess but might be optional install)
2- Darker background for recognition manual
3- Visual detection problems for contacts in some circumstances. (I know this is beyond OM and OMEGU, I'm just saying.)
4- Being used to TMO I really miss some buttons on the menu bar, specifically Open Select Tube, ID Target, Weather Report, Nearest Visual Contact and Max Range at Current speed. These buttons would be awesome to have in OM too.
5- I would love to be able to change skins for all U-Boats to add emblems and stuff but I think you already said they were all in some .dat file and it couldn't be done.
6- Smaller objective icons on the nav map would be nice too.

Anyway these are just some ideas if you need them. (Smaller clock and tools used to be on that list but no more :DL)

Also since I'm on the subject I've made a small mod that I've been messing with in the last week, it changes a few things in the Office, like the map on the wall, the background in the window, the Transfer screen and the scrolling background map when you get your orders. I haven't released it yet but if you like it and want to include it in OM or OMEGU please go right ahead. Link is below.

Thanks for all your hard work on OM, OMEGU and RSRDC, SH4 wouldn't be the same without them.

Moving the message bar to the bottom is an excellent move!:up:
