Duciums is away for the weekend
 

so give him time for a responce guys.

Booboo. Make sure your battiers are not stll charging. Everyonce and awhile the changing icon sticks on and your range drops like a rock. Happy hunting:arrgh!:

Trigger Maru 1.6 and the GFX file has been downloaded a 1000 times each in the last 30 hours

Thxs.,for the mirror mate,thats huge
 

:up: :up: :up: :|\\

Thank you Ducimus!
 

You have done for Silent Hunter 4 what a heating grate did for Marilyn Monroe!:rock:

Ive had alot of personal stuff to take care of this weekend, some of which resolved itself on its own, so im back earlier then i expected, but i wont be able to work on anything tell tommrrow.

There will be a SMALL patch that ill be working on, and releasing tomrorrow. Nothing terribly critical, but a patch to fix asthetic issues.

First of which will be a minor edit to the zones.cfg. Theres a bug where if your deck gun is damaged, you'll have this fantom smoke following you around. If you want to fix it yourself in the meantime, here is what Wernersobe has told me, my assumption is you should look in the Submarine section of the zones.cfg (just find, " ;uboat" and that will drop you straight to the head of the sub section):

Now while im on the subject of NSM, i used the LIGHT version, however, i removed the torpedo modifications that come with NSM, as i honestly didnt think them neccessary. Once a compartment is damaged it will always flood to 100%, the only difference is how long it takes. I didnt include the torpedo mod for this reason, and for the fact that people tend to remove torpedo modifcations anyway, or run their own, so i opted not to bother with it.


The other item slated in the patch i think will be a few minor texture DDS files like the moon, and the scene.dat.

All told i dont expect this patch to be any larger then 1MB in size (probably less then that), and its dealing with minor asthetic issues. After that its...

At which point, i will leave this modpack to run its own course, and let people do with it, what they may. Anyone willing continue to produce versions of TM, have my blessing to do so, i wash my hands of it after this patch, and am pressing on to other things in life, althugh ill come back and play SH4 again at some point, but as a player, not a modder.

Actually i think you'll find that if your batteries are damaged at any point, they will constantly try to recharge to full.
thus your range is cut while trying to recharge.
there is a damage anyilizer (?) in the downloads section, so if you see that your batts have taken damage keep in mind to turn off recharge at somepoint.
one other thing, since sh4 1.3, i've found that when you actually run out of fuel, your still allowed about 200nm or so.

thanks for everything mate. got tm 1.6.
you really should take a pat on the back for all your hard work. without tm, sh4 is crap.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

I installed TM 1.6 and no gramaphone, no speed/range chart. I'm not sure what I should be looking for or where.

Any help appreciated

JD

Surely you have a in game speed/range chart pull down?
 

The gramaphone functionaity is on the bottom right hand corner of the speed/range chart, just to the left of the litte red X button. Drag mouse around computer window frame,pull down. my guess:hmm:

Awesome mod!

A nice job by you and dev team

now installing...

Yikes
 

Well, i've gone and done it now :(

All I had installed before was leo's LBO mod which I uninstalled first. (over a clean 1.3). Then I installed tmaru 1.6 and then the gfx pack through jsgme.

Now when I start the game I hear a windows error sound but don't see anything and the game stops loading. I found if I alt-tab out, there is a windows error dialog box hiding behind the games 3d fullscreen that sais cannot find menu ID 0x0001 or something like that.

Uninstalling tmaru 1.6 / gfx pack fixes it, but of course I want to use tmaru! Which file could it be referencing, or do I have to do a complete reinstall of SH4 / 1.3 again? I really don't wanna do that as my PC is kinda slow at such things...

Thanks, but that's not it. I found the "Conversion Chart" button on the icon bar. I push it, it lights up, but nothing happens. No chart on the screen, no pull dpwn anywhere around the edges... nothing. I know what it's supposed to look like now because I found the usergramophone.dds file that Ducimus modified. i verified the installation and the modded file is where it's supposed to be, but it's just not showing up in the game.

It sounds like that chart might have been a nice idea, but at this point I'd be happy to just get rid of that button and get the gramophone back. I downloaded those massive music files that fred8615 put together and I like to listen during those long transits to and from the patrol areas.


JD

Yeah I have the same problem with the chart it simply does not appear onscreen, I will just wait for Ducimus's patch as TM is amazing:D

All my symptoms are the same as jdkbph.

Thanks for all the awesome work Ducimus, time to enjoy it as a player now!!:rock:

Not sure what happened ^^^, I have the chart and no problems with the grammaphone.
