RUb 1.45 Now Available.

Beery · 11-07-05, 05:44 PM

RUb 1.45 Now Available. Get it here: http://www.beerymod.com or directly from http://www.beerymod.com/RUb1.45.7z.

This will be the penultimate version of RUb. The final version will be called RUb version 2.0 and should appear in time for Christmas. RUb has pretty much done all that I ever wanted it to do, and the number of improvements that can be made are getting smaller. RUb 2.0 will tie up a few loose ends and add a few features, and then I'll be moving on to new games.

New features in version 1.45 include:

'Lite' versions of the radio mods added. Mods adapted from various sources. Modders: U-4, Fletcher_72, Purplehaze, Prien, JG400Pips, U-538, Irishred and Sniper1 .

Added Hospital Ship mod. Mod by Iambecomelife and Sergbuto.

Added ability to sail on the surface with decks awash.

Added French language support.

Added new 'Speed of Sound' mod version 1.2. Mod by Average Joe.

Updated (8 October 2005) Improved Convoys mod added. Mod by Jasonb885 & Sergbuto.

Added Cloud fix. Mod by Seeadler.

Added new world map with text for all major ocean features. Mod by FLB sale U-999.

Fixed misaligned cables on some Type VII boats. Mod by Flakwalker.

Added Officer Icon mod. Mod by Captain America.

Fixed weather reports icons. Mod by Marhkimov.

All new Campaign_SCR.mis file added. Mod & Bugfixes by Teddy Bar & Stiebler.

Fixed some (though not yet all) incorrect town and port alignment colours. Adjustment by Beery.

This is only a partial list of the mod's highlights. As usual, check the Readme file for more details.

Yipee

Here I go

Thanks for all the continuing work. If it was not for this mod, I would have binned the game a long time ago

Thanks, beery!

Thanks...sounds great.

Beery · 11-07-05, 08:06 PM

Unfortunately a bug was just found in the latest version. It has to do with the file that controls the Type VIIC U-boat number. I'm uploading a fixed version of the RUb mod now, and I'll make a patch for players who have already downloaded the mod. The newly updated mod should be up in about 15 minutes, and the patch will be available shortly afterwards. I'll keep everyone posted.

Thanks, Brad, for finding the error - quite a big error I'm ashamed to say.

Beery · 11-07-05, 08:35 PM

Okay, the file to correct the problem is at http://www.beerymod.com/RUb1.45patch.7z

Those who are downloading RUb1.45 after this message is posted will not need the patch.

If there is any doubt about whether you need the patch or not, the new (corrected) RUb1.45.7z file size should be 51,298,532 bytes. If it's less than that, you'll need the patch.

Paul Roberts · 11-07-05, 09:31 PM

Beery,

Does RuB contain the mod to raise the 8km viewing distance? How well does it work?

(I've been away for a while.)

Thanks!

Beery · 11-07-05, 10:27 PM

RUb doesn't include the visibility mod. I gave serious consideration to including it, but there was a technical compatibility issue that I couldn't easily fix, and there was a problem with AI night vision that the mod made more apparent, so I decided not to include it. I would like to include it, but I would need someone to configure it for RUb, and I'm hoping something can be done for the night visibility problem.

HEMISENT · 11-07-05, 10:38 PM

Beery, Thanks for another great update. Sounds like your hanging it up after the next version comes out. Well, after all you've done for the game and the community I guess you deserve a break for awhile.

Now if only we could get a modernized version of Red Baron for you to work on. Wouldn't that be something.

If only there was a WW1 flight sim along the same lines as Red Baron 3D, but with today's technology. I keep hoping for it. Maybe some company will update RB3D as is being done (apparently) with B-17 II.
