Just a quick question, and if it has already been answered please accept my apologies...


Will the environment mod in this supermod kill the framerates on an HD5450? And if so, how do I go about removing it? I'd like to play this mod but cannot live without antialiasing in lieu of better looking water and stuff like that. The antialiasing is sort of... "special" to me, yes? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=5374


Important Specs:

CPU - Pentium D 805 2.66GHz
RAM - 2GB
GPU - Radeon HD5450, 1GB


Looks like a cool mod, but if the environment is gonna kill the frames I'd like to be able to remove just that part of the overall mod and keep the rest. :yep:

I have a machine with similar specs, but 4 Gb RAM, and FOTRS run as silk. You can test Pacific Environment 4 (PE4); adding this mod with JSGME. It seems the problem you have is the RAM. I use 4Gb patch (for my 4Gb RAM memory), without that, FOTRS go to CTD.

rgr that, Fitzcarraldo. :salute: Do you know if 4GB of memory will work on a 32-bit Windows XP install? Wouldn't cost a whole lot to upgrade to that at this point. :hmmm:


Also, I read the documentation (:88)) and realized that the environment mod is a color mod, so maybe not actually texture mods? Giving it a try to see. Hope this works.

If you refers to PE4 mod, it is a complete environment mod, plus some optionals. Not so pretty as FOTRS enviro, though...but very acceptable.

4 Gb of RAM works in XP, with the 4 Gb Patch. For XP, there are some additional instructions for install the patch. See the thread of the 4 Gb Patch here at SUBSIM.

Thanks for your help. I'll have a look there. :DL

I just started a new patrol in FOTRS and no problems whatsoever. What was I so worried about? :haha: First impression: WOW! :o

Great job you guys! This rocks! :yeah:

You´re welcome!

@Fitz - :salute:




Not to wax poetic or kiss buttocks, but my second impression is that the immersion level went up tenfold or better (beer math). This is fantastic work. :DL

Is this to be used in place of the RSRDC with TMO 2.5?

What's the difference between the two Campaign Mods???

Can something be done with the exploding liferafts/lifeboats when they collide with something ?I think it just looks silly that a liferaft should explode when you run over it.

US Raids on Truk Atoll
 

Now I know there is a raid on Truk Atoll but if i open mision editor it CTD'S I would like to know when it occur's according to Battle 360 "Hammer or Hell "occured on the 16th 17th Feb 1944.Does this happen in game?and has anyone been there while the attack happened?.
Information would be most grateful. (In game)

Any update
 

Thanks for all the hard work on FOTRS. Any updates for us on how work is coming?

According to the modders the team is still working on an update, 2.0, but they've been very busy with work. So as of yet, yes an upgrade, when? Not sure. They are hoping by summer to have something together, last I heard. But RL is always different from what we envision.

There is a DD Upgrade Pack for it, you can add to the game. Contains IJN, US Navy, and Kriegsmarine DDs, and DEs.

AOTDMadmax tell us about the new FOTRS v2: in the next summer.

All we are waiting the new version.

Regards.

Hi Fitz,

we are testing now the last changes and it looks all very good.
In about 5-6 weeks i will release V2.0 in German language für SH4 1.4 and then il translate it for SH4 1.5 in English for the Subsim-Community.
July i think it should be done and July is in Summer :D

Regards

Maddy

Thanks, Maddy. I like to know if the new FOTRS v2 will have a new campaign, and if it incorporates the latest advances in SH4: Travellers mods, OTC, etc...

Best regards.
