[REL]TMO "ServicePack" Updates (SP1a and SP2)

[Ducimus]

This release, i believe marks the pinnacle of development by me on TMO. This is to say, i am winding down any resemblance of development on new content, and intend to only focus on issues with the mod itself. While i don't plan on it, i suspect that ill be doing a minor revision in the future to both service packs with the intent on

- minor bugs
- possibly see about redoing the ordersbar and associated textures
- reskin the dockside band
- deal with "sub on rails" effect.

That i beleive, is the full extent of anything else from me in the future. As for Projected Service pack 3 focusing on the German campaign in the indian ocean, im undecided if i have the patience for that or not. Given recent developments, i have ZERO motivation to do so. In the meantime, im going to let these two updates ride for a few weeks and see what shakes loose.


Now then, as reminder, i'm making these Service Packs cumulative. Which means one supercedes the other. In other words. DELETE TMO_SP1 and REPLACE IT with TMO_SP1A.

KNOWN ISSUES:
- Uboat game crashes. Fix posted below.

- Sub on rails is back - bigtime. I may have to go back to my previous wave settings to get rid of them. Im undecided on that. I'll let the jury figure that one out.

- Massive lag with Enviormental effects AND volumetric fog enabled. W_clears work really makes the enviorment ALOT more realistic, subsquently takes alot more horsepower. Not a big deal, i think most of us play with enviormental effects off anyway.


INSTALLATION ORDER:
Assuming you have no mods installed, you should enable TMO in the following order;

1.) REL_SH4-ver15_TriggerMaru_Overhaul
2.) TMO_ServicePack_1_Bravo
3.)TMO_ServicePack_2
4.) Optional mod - RSRD By Lurker_Hib3. ***

(***NOTE: Lurker has informed me he has to update RSRD due to changes ive made in TMO service packs. So until he says its ok, you SHOULD NOT run RSRD with TMO at this time.)

DOWNLOAD LINKS:
(You did read everything i just wrote before clicking on these, right?)

TMO Service Pack 1 Bravo

TMO Service Pack 2


ADDITIONAL NOTE:
If you downloaded earlier versions of this from my filefront directory at least 3 hours prior to my making this post, you should delete those and D/L again.

UBOAT FIX:
This file will allow you to play the STOCK uboat campaign with TM enabled. Many features in TMO that are in the pacific camapign, will not be present in the KM indian ocean game. You should acutally be able to play either side with this fix, however the skin texture rendering on the US characters will be pretty ugly.
