Any word from Captain America?
I was really looking forward to his Officer's Country Interior MOD.
As I recall, Ducimus was working with CA and had a pre-release verion of this Interior to start working with.

I think he's he's asking if it's possible to transfer the flag to fleet boats in other mods - TMO/FOTRS etc. I'm sure it is, but I really have no idea how.

Copying the file mentioned in the PDF for controling the flag (or removing it) to another mod would be the first thing I'd try.

Same in TMO 2.0/2.1. I go to measure the range, and the elevation is all FUBAR when I get back. If both my sub and the target are moving - which is usually true - the range has changed, sometimes by a lot, so I end up using "rangefinding by fire" anyway.

Subs were notoriously lousy gun platforms, with their narrow beam and lack of any real height for spotting the fall of shot.

It's definitely too easy to hit stuff with the deck gun. I suspect a significant degree of "auto aim" is at work, even when one manually aims and fires the gun.

You are right ! The way you advised is not effective. I am sorry, thank you all the same !
BTW, Are you from China?

Sorry (but not surprised) to hear it isn't so simple.

Actually I'm from Canada. That striking icon was just what the Avatar-God had chosen for me at that moment. I see that I'm now "Eddie" from To Have and Have Not.

I've been playing with some water effects to add Sea Spray to the US Submarines for TMO 2.2

I have the Porpoise, Tambor and Gato pretty much done.
Currently I am skipper of a Tambor Class do used it for a screen capture.

Effects shown for Surcaed and Decks Awash.


When I am done I will post it for download here at SubSim.
Kind of like EGU PAK for TMO.

I didn't notice and FPS hit when using this.

Regards!

If I do that the effect is not visiable at night but I will play with it.. Screen cap was taken at noon on perfectly clear day.
Also there are 62 FX nodes each for Porpoise,Salmon, Sargo and 68 FX nodes for Gar, Tambor, Gato, Balao, Tench.

yep, this game never makes things easy but then maybe try a different approach then, try an off white or grey shading added to the image file so its not so "slap you in your face" white

anyway, good work

I'm downloading this right now, i've been using stock 1.5 wit pacific enviroments but its getting rather boring, i hope tmo puts more life back into it!

[mookiemookie]

Ok guys, what am I doing wrong? I'm using Windows 7 and 7zip, downloaded the latest TMO file and am trying to extract it to my JSGME MODS folder in my SH4 directory and I'm getting this error:



EDIT: Fixed it. Ran 7Zip as administrator and all is good.

I'm thinking of switching over to TMO from RFB, seeing as TMO is more up-to-date and has more features. I have two questions, however.

1. How does TMO handle sinkings? I really liked the Natural Sinking mechanism in RFB.

2. The main thing I hear about TMO is the destroyer AI and it's ability to get you. I am looking forward to the challenge of playing more as if my virtual life is on line, but am concerned about any "unfair" advantage they might have. Surface/radar depth attacks on moonless nights are still, possible, correct?

thanks

TMO uses a hitpoints system but its much better than stock(or seems to be) No knocking RFB at because its a great mod , but I didnt care for the sinking mechs when I played it, had some bad episodes like when it took 24 hours for a ship with multiple holes and burning on fire to sink, was a bit much.Perhaps its changed.I wish could have a hitpoints system combined with natural sink mechs...ships kind of act like that in TMO.For example...Deember 1941 in Luzon Straits I fired two fish at a small Haruna Maru Tanker(1500 tons or so) one ran under the keel and didnt explode, other was set more shallow and hit aft, just ahead of the props, ship stopped on fire and took 45 mins to sink but settled by the stern and finally went under on its own.That is TMO.You slammed 3 or 4 torpedos into a large freighter, depending on whats it loaded with(freight vs ammo) it will blow up.Tankers full o fuel explode quite nicely.

As far as TMO AI goes.Well yes it's a bit tough at times, designed to be so.I would not say it has an unfair advantage.Run RSRD with TMO and it'll be a little less tough, esp earlier in war but is tough in later war as it was in RL.

Surface attacks in TMO are very possible, depending on the conditions of course, much more than stock.I would like to adjust the escorts visual sensors so could get closer, I usually have to fire from 3000-4000 yards on surfce instead of 2000-3000 but NSA's are very possible.

Note:if you do use RSRD with TMO make sure you get the radar fix and TMO visuals for RSRD.Radar fix makes IJN radar more historical(thus not that effective) against a surfaced sub, it was way too effective before this mod in RSRD. TMO visuals corrects the eagle eyes of RSRD.

Thanks

Is the IJN radar fix necessary/compatible with 2.2?
