TMO SP1a / SP2 coming soon to a theater near you

[Ducimus]

Thought id make the usual "modder hyping his labors" post. Right now i think ive about wrapped up SP1 and SP2 for TMO. Right now im waiting on a permissions request and a test patrol before i post it. Barring any bugs, this represents, i beleive, the last im going to do. I'm just tired and burnt out, and i can't continue modding like this forever.

SP1 has been updated, and may yet be updated again (version to you is SP1a), im just waiting on permission to add a mod to it.

Changes in SP1, so far are the following:

-moved harbor traffic entry in fremantle away from player starting postion.
-added a AI fleet boat to fremantle
-repositioned player starting positions in pearl harbor and fremantle
-changed contacts.cfg->Large Contact Min Size from 0 to 6.

Service pack 2 is thus:

//added AI jap sub by nautilus42
- retooled subs zone configuration so it sinks properly
- retouched subs skin so to be grey/black.
- scripted sub to appear in campaign game

//added AI German 9D2 uboat by nautilus42
- retooled subs zone configuration so it sinks properly
- this sub will take the place of existing 9c which will be removed from the mod.
- sub will appear in campaign game as it always has.

//added new diesal sounds for S boat and narwhal class subs by AOTD|MadMax

//added band, brass, and pretty nurses to docks in Pearl and Fremantle.

//lowered SD mast antenna max height by 1 meter.

//added gato textures to Low res tex directory.

//changed hull creaks to ones found in ROW soundpack version 8

//added engine exaust to all fleetboats using fairbank morse engine sounds.

//added 3 ships to JP roster
KMSSHogIslandJPN=Hog Island type A Freighter
KPMCSExpressJPN=Medium Modern Passenger/Freighter
KMSSRyuun=Old Raked Bow Split Merchant

A band, the brass, and babes.
Fremantle and Pearl harbor only. Band plays, "anchor's away".

(yes i know thats KM uniforms on the band. I tried to retexture them and failed miserably. My attempt was SO bad, as to leave merit for leaving the orginal skins in place. If it bugs you, pretend its the crew of a captured uboat from a POW camp detailed to play as a band or something. ::rotfl: )
-

(Do see something coming out of the rear of the boat? Look close at the water near the rear of the sub. :p )

So, I got a wild hair and spent all day to add engine exust to any boat using the fairbanks morse engine sounds. This excludes the S boat and Narwhal. It's very hard to screencapture this, but here goes:




There are 2 exhaust plumes, one on each side. I was going to make 4, but decided i didnt want to overkill it.



So, as soon as i do my last minute checks, ill start uploading. Probably in the next day or two. After that, im taking a break. If nothing crops up, then i guess im done.

Service pack 3? (uboat stuff) I dont know yet. I have ZERO motivation after the last few days, i don't feel well, and im anxious to call it quits.
