[REL] Trigger Maru Overhauled - Page 174

Hey guys I apologise if this shouldn't be posted here but it seems that with TMO the speed estimation function based on Range updates doesn't work the same anymore :/. Now I don't quite have the patience to work out the speed manually using the data tools all the time and this was a nice happy middle ground for me between the lack of fun with auto targeting and the trying process (for me) of calculating speed with a good old pen and paper and the tools.

I've managed to get an estimate once basically accidently and I can't recall the method I did to get it :/. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Personally I would like to make one change though. I find that night is way too dark. Without constantly fiddling with the gamma slider in the graphics options menu I can't even see the bow wave at night. Could someone tell me what files need editing to make nighttime slightly less dark?

Thanks.

That was bothering me too. I can imagine that is fixable by using the S3D tool to edit the sim.dat file. Not sure, but I think I saw some appropriate values there once.

In the recognition manual the length of the ships are not presented.

How can you get those?? (Essential if you like to make AOB-tables)

I did some digging on the forums and found the following thread:

I adjusted the two files suggested with Paint.net, placed them into the TMO_2 folder and then deactivated and reactivated the mod with JSGME and it worked like a charm.

Needless to say back up the files first incase you don't like the results.

I still have fairly dark nights but at least I can now see something at night and make out a horizon line.

Look in the Sea folder.
Open the folder of the ship you wish to check.
In there you will find a cfg file that contains info for that ship

aaaah! Excellent!!!

Thanks a lot!!!

What units is that in?

sergei · 08-09-10, 11:16 AM

Beats me Razark.
I'm guessing it's meters, because all the rest of the game 'under the hood' uses metric values for everything else except speed.

Thanks, I will try that too

I know this sounds like a really stupid question so I apologize for even having to ask it....

Is there some trick to finding targets in TMO+RSRDC? I just finished my first deployment out of Pearl. Spent over 4 months at sea and found a grand total of 3 merchants and no warships. I was everywhere from the coast of Japan to the East China Sea to the Formosa straits to the Philippines to the Java Sea and everywhere in between. Luckily the 3 merchants were enough to finish 3 sets of orders but I never finished the 4th and after searching for targets for over 6 weeks I finally gave up and went home. What am I doing wrong?

First TMO 2.0 is a killer mod, outstanding job makeing this. My question is how do you go about putting kill flags on the conning tower? Are there any special programs needed?

thank you

There's a map which contains all the shipping routes and hotspots. You can get quite a few if you follow them. With that said, that's fairly realistic. Some Captain's didn't make a contact for the entire patrol.

I do seem to struggle finding targets in the opening months of the war, running out of Pearl.
(If I'm running out of Manilla I'll always find an invasion force somewhere).
After that, no problem.

mobucks · 08-11-10, 03:31 AM

Also you don't really get anything for completing missions (i think...) so you can just go wherever you want and hunt. the only thing that matters is tonnage.

Ive been lucky in both RFB and TMO both with RSRD by just hangin out in the Singapore/Manilla/Luzon areas. All nowhere near where COMSUBPAC sends you from pearl.

My problem is alt-f4ing out of the unsaved patrol in frustation after missing 4 fish in a row.

Edit the conning tower tex file for your sub.
You'll find it in the Textures folder.

You can use GIMP, it's free

Plus you'll need the dds plugin for it
