[REL] TMOwtw 2.5
 

Dave Grayson has given me permission to release the final version of his TMOwtw 2.5. He hopes that you will enjoy it. D/L link is below.


TMOwtw_2.5

What exactly does this mod do?

Some information on the mod would be appreciated, few are going to download half a gig or so without knowing what it does ;)

Ditto. What's this mod do?

I've downloaded the mod and the readme file says the following:
"This is not a new MOD, but rather a simplified version of Trigger Maru Overhauled 2.5
It is meant for the younger or casual player and was intended as a middle step between the stock game and TMO 2.5. It is only intended for use with Silent Hunter IV patched to 1.5 or the Gold edition. As many as possible of the features of TMO have been left in place, the improved graphics, the command structure and all of the fun changes made by TMO over the stock game.

Here are some of the ways it differs from TMO:
The boxes, tails and ship outlines on the navigation map are like stock.

The Nomograph is gone.

The Next/Previous Unit keys, < > are enabled.

The enemy sensors are toned down a bit. Watch it, they are still very dangerous.

The Thermal Layer is very strong. If you are under the layer you can run right under an escort at 1/3 ahead on Silent Running and they may detect something, but they will not be able to locate you well enough to attack. The Thermal Layer is your best friend.

The Gramophone icon has been replaced by a ship draft chart. The buttons to work the Gramophone are on the bottom right corner of the chart.

The clock is a gold 1939 Hamilton, because I like it.

The deck gun loads in 4 seconds.

The torpedoes are very reliable during the early war years and get even better after mid 1943. If you want to change back to the poorly performing torpedoes that were in use during the early war years, you can enable the Historic Torpedoes MOD in the Support Folder/Optonal MODs.

The Sub underwater marker is back, sort of. It has been replaced by the wTw logo. There are MODs to remove the marker or change it back to stock in the Support Folder/Optional MODs

The Captains desk photo is the iconic Betty Grable pin-up pic, again becuase I like it."

I hope this helped...:salute:

:D I apologize for my error. I was assuming that people would be familar with TMOwtw. TMOwtw is simply an easier version of TMO. I was doing this as a favor to Dave Grayson, who is the designer of wtw (With Training Wheels).

Thanks to Wetton for taking the time to print out the Readme from the MOD. :yeah:

so... i dont necesarily want to put the training wheels on, but ...
is there any way i can keep TMO2.5 the way it is EXCEPT the map contact updates and re'enable the external camera?? also i have a bit of trouble with the manual range input... the only way i can put in range seems to be with the stadimeter... cant turn the dial manually... and for that matter, i cant seem to select the aft tubes with the 'w' key. only actually clicking one with the mouse, and then 'w' moves me right back to tube 1, so i have to 'click' the next aft tube... oh oh oh.... and one more, the only 'fire' button that works is the red 'clickable' one... enter[s] or space do not work for torps... is this by design or something else...

is there any way i can fix this???
i dont know about modding, but im not against tweaking files if i could come to know what programs open the files to adjust...

thanks...

I will download this mod and try it. For my taste, I must "depurate" some simplifications, but some carachteristics seem interesting.

Many thanks for the mod!

Nice work, good for folks to have other options with TMO :yep:

You can enable them in the game play settings or, if you are in a campaign, enable them in the office by clicking on the radio on the shelf on the left and selecting them there.

:salute:
