Don't you be going the "oldmanitis" route yet!!! It's too soon! (took three tries for me to spell it correctly, btw)...

btw, s7rikeback, excellent mod! I love it (even if I do say so myself).

I think i found an issue last night. Started a new campaign in the asiatic fleet in a S boat. On load in noticed the troop ship across the harbor was all black and missing textures. Removed Nippon Maru (v1.2) mod and textures returned. Reloaded and same issue returned. Yes im running FOTRS 1.46 or whatever the newest version is.

Hello Nemesis Bosseret,

Many thanks for the report.

I have managed to tracked down that texture issue to the British flagged European Built Liner. Last edit was dated 2018-11-18.

This is now fixed, plus another small issue I found in the names.cfg. file.
I will upload Nippon_Maru_v1.2.1 tomorrow after work, which will have the changes included.

Awsome that will give me time to get back to port and reload the mod. I hope that doesnt screw anything up on my game but i just started so it should be fine if it does.

Ahoy S7rikeback,

I have added Nippon Maru v1.2.1 to the newest FotRS Ultimate v.1.46. I have noticed the mod loads faster with the Nippon Maru v1.2.1! I haven't noticed any problems. I will post if any are encounter. Awesome mod, thank for work!

I've posted this also in the FOTRSU thread, but I figured I'd post it here as well in the hopes of getting some help.


I'm running into an issue where the Heiyo Maru (so far... can't be sure of any other ship yet) doesn't have textures and appears completely black, but this only happens while out on campaign and it looks just fine when I look at it in the Museum (idk about one-off missions yet as I've not found one there to check). From what I can tell, its only this ship and only out in the game world and I'm using a copied load order / mod list from someone who doesn't appear to have the same problem so I'm not really sure what could possibly be causing it.


Here is a copy of my current mod list:

100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.46_EN
Fleetboat_Interior-Officers_Quarters_FOTRSU_v1.46_EN
Realistic Floor Tiles for Fleetboat_Interior-Officers_Quarter
Nippon_Maru_v1.2.1
452_MoonlightzSonarLines
454_EasyAOB_FotRSU
901_Strategic_Map_Symbols
New Sounds for Fleetboat_Interior-Officer Quarters mod
EAX_SoundSim_FOTRSU_1.46
Enhanced  Sounds for SH4
Carotio_IntercontinentalRadioPack
FOTRSU_1.46_SUB_SKINS_IN_4k
^^ torpd tex fix for FotRSU
Splash_effect_DC_bombs_bullets_shells_1.0_for_FOTRSU
Periscope wake splash for FOTRSU
Improved Gun Tracers - Torp Damage
Aircraft_reflections
TMONewDepthChargesType2

Any help in sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.

Hey ... first of all. what your hardware .. how did you configure your graphic options in the game ???? what version of the game are you on? moreover start the training .. in order to familiarize yourself with the gameplay .. then a complete campaign in order to climb the ranks if you play missions & war campaign avoid changing submarines take those proposed ... find out about the mods that download yourself in order to have an understanding of what you are doing !!! there is no point in stacking mods if you do not know what you are doing !!! these themes are dealt with on this forum I remind you that reading does not kill ... go be brave .. you will need to start with your graphic settings ....attention to the subtleties of modding on this game is to take into consideration

Kind regards KM_U669

I'll start by pointing out that I've got something like 1500 hours under my belt in highly modded installs of this game, so I know how the game works, and how mods work, though I will admit that its been several years since the last time I've played. Next I'll point out that this problem affects exactly one ship that I can find in the game, which would mean its very unlikely, though still remotely possible, that this is a settings issue or a hardware issue and much more likely that this is a texture issue. Furthermore, I've paired down my mod installation to just FORTS + Nippon Maru and am still getting the issue, so whatever the problem, it resides somewhere between those two mods so the issue is not "stacking mods without knowing what I'm doing".


With that all said, I'm running the game on the following system / settings:
-Windows 10 Pro
-I7-4770K
-32GB RAM
-GTX 2080S
-Game installed on an SSD
-SH4 version 1.5
-All graphical settings maxed


EDIT: I've now further narrowed this issue to only this mod as running without this mod fixes the issue. I'm currently trying to redownload the mod to see if I've gotten some corruption in the download that affected the texture in question, but other than that, I'm basically out of ideas as to why this mod might break that specific ship.

Hello AviatorMan,

Many thanks for the report - I will investigate and publish findings/fix later today.

Contrary to understanding mods and compatibilities, no other mod in your list would have a "Heiyo Maru" so your investigative work has paid off.
