[REL] Trigger Maru 1.7.6 (Updated 24Jan08) - Page 47

digitizedsoul, if it is exactly as you say it is as far as clean install etc. and you're using JSGME, you might try re-downloading TM 1.6; possibly a bad download. If you've already done this, ?? good luck

Ducimus · 08-28-07, 08:13 PM

All i can think of to say is, that If it was something i did wrong, id have had fans of the mod on two different forums screaming at me. Has tobe something specific to your D/L, install, or even drivers.

digitizedsoul · 08-28-07, 08:15 PM

No, no nothing you did wrong mate

I thank you for giving me this problem, because you had to make the mod, for me to download it and break it hah.

I'll re-download, and if not learn how to mod myself in an attempt to fix whatever i've foobared lol.

Rock on with your socks on...

If you orginally D/L'ed it from my server, then it could be a corrupted download. When Marko's offered to host the files, i broke the links to my server when both files were up on his. If you were d/ling when i broke the link on the d/l, then the file could have become truncated or otherwise corrupted i imagine.

hope you like it!

There is only one thing I need to say about it the game always produces the smoke effect for the funnels on the ships until they are docked or sink there is nothing I can do to change that fact and I have gone through a lot of files trying to see if that can be changed. So ships will always produce that effect it just changes with movment and wind speed and direction. I figured I would nip that in the bud before being asked about it.

Having down loaded both files,Trigger_Maru_1-6 ,& Trigger_Maru_GFX_PAX_1_2, unpacked both 7-Z files. I am getting the impression,since it was said in post#1,that we need both,that these files should be merged,before installing w/JSGME. In this effort; is there an install read-me ? If so,perhaps my bad,no can find.
Question: in the process of merging,if there is a cfg in 1-6,& Cfg in GFX do we just overwrite(yes to all). Please put me on to the install read-me location.Thxs.,donut

Ducimus · 08-28-07, 10:07 PM

The two mod packages shouldnt have any conflicts at all. Orginally i seperated graphics and sounds into a seperate associated mod to reduce d/l size on future updates.

donut · 08-28-07, 10:13 PM

So ,are you saying,both unzipped packages need to be installed in the mod folder,then activated separately ? Not merged ? separately is correct.

Ducimus · 08-28-07, 10:21 PM

If you want to merge them all into one directory you can do that. But regardless of how you run it in JSGME, you need both in order for the mod to function correctly.

Should they both install W/JSGME.yes I am getting a source error,when I try,sorry for stupid questions.

I am not frustrated w/you Duci,just not understanding. Don't take this the wrong way.

Ducimus · 08-28-07, 10:38 PM

You shoudlnt have any conflict at all. Are you sure your not using an older version of the GFX pack?

In any event, enable GFX Pak 2_1 first.
Then enable TM 1.6

I'll Try that sequence.Thxs.,for your assurance Sir.That worked !

chopped50ford · 08-29-07, 03:27 AM

is the "smoke on the Horizon" and other adds (few pages back) that Leo is working on included in 1.6? or will this be an upcomming addition? 1.6a maybe?

Ducimus · 08-29-07, 03:55 AM

Right now im looking at a very limited patch. Theres always something to do, so im limiting my focus to what things bugged me most in 1.6, and im sticking to what im sure will work since i have limited time to test.

So far TMaru patch 1.6.1 will have the following

- Leo's latest scene.dat, modified by me to 8KM visual distance. (this dat, im really liking btw, its a definate improvement)

- a fixed zones.cfg that eliminate the chance of the phantom smoke trail following you after having your deck gun damaged.

- Leo's updates particles.dat with his improved smoke effects.

- replacement moon texture

Now Leo sent me a decent package of stuff, but im only including the above for three reasons.

1.) This is a PATCH, and i want to keep it small

2.) There is always something else to do. If i include this, that i might as well include that, and maybe another one of these, and a few more of those, and before i know it im right back to where i was before, only with TM 1.7. Its an endless loop.

3.) The above are the easiest to test, and most easily proven to work. I dont have time for alot of testing, and given that this patch is FINAL, i need to go with what i know will be the most error free.

For me, the patch is it. I trust that eventually, someone will pick up where i left off, and make it even better. When i post the patch, ill post my final thoughts on the subject.

There is one small notification with JGSME. In both TM1.6 and the GFX pack there is a sound map.
This will give no problems though..
