, when you have time to take a look at the special effects for Trigger Maru. After alot of testing it seem "something" is making SH4 go nuts when using PE, so to ensure compatibility with TM I have excluded the zonefile untill we found out what's causing the error.

The RFB team has made a zonefile for RFB and will write about how to use PE4 with RFB.

The above change allso means that you can now run TM + Om without any problems.

Glad to be back, my man

Hm...I had made a TM-compatible zone file for TM a while back. Did you use that one? Also, what do you mean by going nuts? CTD, slow-downs, wonky sinking behavior? I'll redownload TM to check, so feel free to PM me the link to the PE4 beta

ETA: Yeah, rain-check on downloading TMaru...I have a notoriously slow connection today, I doubt I'll have downloaded its 350MB before I leave for home. Argh!

SH4 runs okay with the TM-zone file you made, but then when I go to the menu screen and press "quit" my computer restarted without warning, so I tested the submarine mod with and without and the zonefile. It seems Ducimus have made some changes in the TM 1.5.2 :hmm: your location problems have first priority ,so only look at this if you have time

Will send you the newest, check your PM soon.

Ah yeah, I saw you mentioning that in a post, didn't notice it was zones.cfg-related. One can only skim through 6 pages of posts this thoroughly

I hope the connection problems will be gone tomorrow, so I can try and download both TMaru and RFB...hm no wait, I'll wait until the new release of RFB is out, with the new sinking model. Something tells me I'll "borrow" that part of the mod for my home-made brew (for personal use, of course!). Something tells me however, that these connection problems will persist, as long as they're installing the optical fiber network. You can't postpone releasing the mod a couple or three months, can you? :rotfl:

anyway will go back to use the settings from the first alpha which most of you liked

I think I may have seen the high sub in the version before the last one you sent out just before the weekend. It may not be related to your most recent changes.

I used 1.4, because I dont have anything else .. No problems afaik.

Since yesterday I had it running some more, there were still some minor problems with slow moving waves, but as I said, 90% of the time it's excellent.

New bow wake which looks like water, I have used the stock shader for the bow wake, there were to many problems with the new one, but will look into it after release..

All the listed bugs is now corrected, so will release the mod friday as planned.
