No changes are required to make the mod 1.2 compatable.

That's great news. Thanks

I guess this is stalled? This was my favorite mod.

I hope not,is it?

Heretic, or whoever is managing this mod now: Would you consent to this being put into part of a larger Compilation mod, as i said in another thread on this forum?

I'm looking to assemble several mods in a large easy for new people to install "Community Mod pack", and full, prominent credit would be given to you and the other mod authors involved. Would you be willing to help the community by allowing your mod to be used?

Looking good about time some one did this - was thinking of doing it myself though my skills are minimal - I'd certainly like to see W Clear's Enviro mod added to yourt list

If you want to add a UI to your community built mega mod, I bet reaper7 would let you use his. You should ask him, and see what his thoughts are on it.

I misunderstood, darkwraith said "Wait for 3.0.0 to be bug free", understandably so.

If I had opinion I would build a super mod around any major sound, interface or graphical mod. Stick to core settings etc and let the user decide some of his own options.

MattDrizzle, did you get my PM?

That i did,im dissapointed i didnt beat you to the punch and not sure if i'm gonna go through with my complilation as a result

If this mod, Darkwraiths mod and Enviroment 2.2 arent included however, i dont see the point. Those should be boxed with the game as far as i am concerned.

...some sound mods need additional files arround, like the SDL file, commands.cfg, some entrys in sim files for maybe a delay in torp fireing, all together fitting for a more realistic chain of command, or are done to work together with other mods and so on...

...so in my eyes, advanced sound mods are important to add, not liked sounds but simulation uncritical ones could of course changed or changed with sounds fitting in the same way.

The most important reason to create a megamod is to pimp the game to a more realistic, playable but of course more immersive expiriance... at least changes and releases should be most effective and efficient, so why excluding grafics and sounds ?

Personally, sound mod'ing was the second thing I updated after resetting key bindings in the commands.cfg
One thing that has bothered me in all SH releases is the deisel engine sound. Subs use a high performance deisel enigine. Not some chitty chitty bang bang about to explode rattle trap POS.
So I have to agree Sound MOD updates are very important for the game immersive experience.

P.S. With that said. There is one engine sound missing. The Deisel Engine air intake is on the control trower yet you one hear the engine exhaust from the stern.

That's a problem since a "sound mod" shouldn't really encroach into the territory of a control key mod or u-boat handling mod, but by affecting commands.cfg and torp firing speeds it does just that. Unless the authors are going to spend the time to make sure they work with ever changing versions of various mods, I'm really likely to skip most sound mods. Or if the authors extensively document the changes to those files their mods need.

...and especialy this putting together and update support makes a megamod worthy.

if i would skip those extra files, i would loose much of the potential regarding realism, admosphere and immersion.

Portions of the MOD could list required manual editing in the readme.txt detailing steps to edit subject files so people can keep their key bindings ect. and not overwrite other mods.
