I got it to work (somewhat) but after loading the mod (in port, at the office screen) I go to load the next first mission of my career (actual black loading screen) and I hear the windows "ding" in the back ground. So I go to destop and there are quite a few error messages saying that "Missing object 12xxxxxx". So I close them all out, go back to SH4 (it takes a minute for the transition back to the SH4 program) then the mission loads.
I've noticed a few things...
In the TDC, periscope view, the AOB, Speed, Range button don't really apear. If I hover the cursor over their locations, the names of the buttons appear but they are not there. Also the "send" button and the standimeter button barely appears.
The other thing is weird is I can't "move" through to the yeoman's quarters or the captain's bunk. Not that you can move around that much in the stock game but you can at least see the yeoman sitting there and glance into the bunk area.
Also there are some 'blinking' lines in the textures of all screens.
I've tried disabling the mods, reloading them, rebooting the computer in between. Uninstalling the game, reinstalling. Same thing.
The only thing I can think of on why it's not working as intended is I was in port, loaded the following in this order (ALL of them at once, one after the other without trying them out):
TMO
RSRDC
RSRDC patch
OTC
OTC 8.4
Should I try loading only one at a time, rebooting, trying to see if they work? And then report back or what?
Thanks again for the help!
PS- I read in the readme of the OTC mod that ship lenghts would be included in the RM? I didn't see the length?

No wonder you can't see things once the game loads, if it throws all those errors. Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you sure you're loading the correct mod versions? That would be TMO 2.5, followed by RSRDCv502 and RSRDCv5xx patch, and finally OTC 1.5 for RSRDCv502 and OTC for 8.5 to 4.8 Aspect Ratio.
ETA: I just remembered you ran RSRDC unpatched until now. Don't take my word for it, but there's a chance you might have to start a new career after you've applied that patch. What rings an alarm is the fact that the errors start when you try to start a new mission, not when the game is initially loading. Try starting a new career and see if the errors persist. If not, there's your culprit.
