[REL] Real Fleet Boat 2.0

[Hitman]

@ Hitman re bino bearing indicator. Have you had any further thought on this? Mine is a very pale yellow when viewing against bright blue sky which makes it unreadable. Strange thing is the same indicator on the deck gun is white and perfectly viewable ? Could that not be used ??

I experimented a bit with alternative views, and also made a different TBT for Luke, which he might or not include in further updates. BUt I will be busy for the next weeks with my current main project, which has nothing to do with submarines. I'm doing a full restoration of my old motorbike, a 1998 Lucky Explorer Cagiva Mito , which has been stored in a garage for three years.

Here's the quickest solution I came up with, I might make it available if I don't have time to do something else:

Morning Hitman and cheers for the quick response.....

Now thats better....I like it, could I tempt you to make it available now.

Nice bike....but you be careful out there

[Chubster]

Ok, anther wee thing....Just sitting here patrolling an area whilst reading the forums on the lappy. Have TC running at 512. Noticed a change in audio, which usually means something is happening, so straight back to the helm.

Indeed my sub had stopped whizzing around but the clock hadnt and the tc was still set at 512. But my sub was moving normal time. I had no contact reports, no radio messages nothing. What could be the problem.

Happened twice now

Edit...OK I thnik there maybe something wrong with my install...just been attcked by a plane and although my hull damage indicator reports 000 I have critical flooding in the engine room and control room ?? That shouldnt be, should it ?

[McHibbins]

Hm....does the hull damage indicator works with RFB ? I donn´t believe so....RFB handle hull damage in a different way ( read that in the manual I think)

[Hitman]

could I tempt you to make it available now.

ENTIRELY UNOFFICIAL STUFF ... do not blame the RFB guys if you don't like it.

Good hunting

[Chubster]

Many many thanks Hitman, really appreciate it

is it likely to be RFB or RSRD? don't remember it being an issue in stock

It's an RFB problem. I'll get it fixed for the next patch release.

That's an RSRDC feature.

Also, it seems that to refit my sub with Mk10's costs me 100 renown each, again is this intended? Perhaps to force this newbie capt to use those crappy mk14's ??

Yep, you're right. The instances of fleet submarines taking a load of Mk. 10s on patrol was small, so this was the best way I could simulate this.

What class of boat?

There is a limit to how many POs a given boat may carry.

If anyone is looking to have smaller tools on the navigation map with RFB, try this mod.

ahoy.

i like what the new patch has to offer 2.0.
the diesels sound great.

maybe someone with modding experience can help. i'd really appreciate it.

don't know why, but alot of the time in RFB 2.0 campaign,when loading game on patrol, after either confronting contacts,or destroying them, save files don't load. they crash to desktop. if i save w/o coming in contact w/ the enemy, it'll load no problem, there are also no problem with autosaves in port loading either.

it doesnt make sense,you'd think that if it were a mod issue,it wouldn't run at all. right?

i'm not overwriting previous saves,but creating new ones each time.

i'm using SH4 gold 1.5 (DVD), windows XP, multi SH4 (not for different installs but for different campaign save files from one mod to the other)

I use jsgme (not the new version) and the only active mods installed in this order are:

RFB_2.0
RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010
Hydrophone Line Extended-from hydrophone lines for RFB 2.0

any ideas?

saved games are in my documents folder. (in terms of multi SH4) one is SH4 (stock) the other is CUS, which is where my american campaign files are,for use with RFB 2.0.

the SH4 folder is where i keep my german campaign save files,for use with operation monsoon. i'm not running both super mods simultaneously either. it's one or the other.

i think this covers everything. any help at all is greatly appreciated.


thanks again and great job with the mod otherwise.

edit= for chits n giggles i tried a german campaign to see if problems persist and everything loads fine.

Do deck guns have ANY effect on vessels in RFB???

You can shoot at merchants all day in the noob tutorials and not sink d%ck.

Reading the manual will answer your question. Sry, but this was asked so often in the last few weeks now.......

Not sure on this one. RFB doesn't make any changes to the campaign files.
