Ducimus;
thanks for all your work. TMO, IMHO, saved SHIV from simply sitting on my shelf. Excellent work. My fingers are crossed for you and your work situation.

BTW, what does the latest patch address?

[The General]

See you when SH5 comes out DeuceMan

[kwbgjh2]

With TMO 1.9 i found my way back to SH4. Its the first complete campaign i've played after a long time.

Thx Ducimus and good luck to you.

[Laconic]

Thanks, Ducimus, for all of your work. It's definitely appreciated.

[beartooth91]

Does the latest patch -081209 - include and supercede the 041209 patch ?

...and Thank You, Ducimas for Trigger Maru and TMO.

The best reference you can have. A superb mod. All the best. Thanks.

You probably won't. If i do end up aquiring SH5 i simply won't say anything, and i certainly won't be publishing any mods. I really didn't want get into modding in SH4 (look how that turned out. ), and it all started by publishing "a" mod, and it was all downhill from there.

So IF i get Das Boot the interactive movie.. err i mean SH5.. , i will be a non entity. Besides that, i just don't believe GWX is finished. I'd lay 10 to 1 odds they surface again with much trumpeting and fanfare after ubi stops patching. People will not miss modders like myself.

Yes.

Ducimus, you're the modding man! If it wasn't for TMO, I'd have a lot less fun with SH4. Of course, I've tweaked further, (doesn't everyone?) but it's a great mod!

Also, agree SH5 looks like more fluff than material, and I don't think I can handle shooting American ships... guess I'll have to keep SH4! Yay, more tweaking!

[VonGlaus]

As to what the patch addresses, this is from his readme:
--snip--
-----------
Fixes:
-----------

- Fixed clouds. (was tiling in an un natural mechanical manner)

- Fixed horizon line. Shouldn't see that odd white segment on the horizon as much on clear days/nights.

- Underwater coloring.

- Yugomo DD no longer gets radar in 4/42. Moved it to 9/43, after the RCM becomes available.


--------------
Adjustments:
--------------
- increased dynamic mission requirements minimum fuel percentage from 35% to 50%. Extra missions assigned after sending a status report should now be more limited (Feel less like an endless loop of missions) and not ask you to go someplace when low on fuel.


- Flotilla's based at pearl will change base to midway island in 6/42. Out of harbor starting points changed. Out of harbor Pearl drops you outside pearl. Out of harbor Midway drops you just west of the IDL.

- slightly decreased the effects of darkness and rough seas effecting your watch crews ability to spot targets.

- Removed all volitale cargo from single merchants. (No more unescorted Kaboom)

- removed all ammo cargo from convoys. Shipping containing Fuel/oil, still remain. (Still get Kaboom)

Not true it's people like you who spend their free time improving games like this for all of us to enjoy.

If the modding comunity hadn't attacked SH4 and brought it up to what it is now then the chances are this game will have died a long time ago.

We all owe you thanks for what you have done and good luck in the future your skills will be sorely missed

[silent killer]

thanks ducimus, i had a request about the deck and AAguns ammo , you answerd my question

[TopcatWA]

I've just been on a patrol (P-Class boat Asiatic Fleet 1942) where I was sent to do a photo recon at a port in the south China sea.
I got to the rendezvous position OK, but when I took a photo on a locked target in broard daylight, the objective failed to complete.
I'm running TMO 1.9 with the RSRD v502 patch.
Do you have to position the boat so that the photo icon comes up in the scope like the standard SHIV 1.5 so that the photo can be taken?
I positioned the boat right on the objective icon & several yards back from it as well but the camera didn't seem to work when I pressed the 'Take Photo' button.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

I play with Trigger Maru sinds the 1.7 version. I've never had a problem. But now with the new version, a have one. I started a new carrier and during the first year of war, I never encounter a ship excepting fish boats. So no reason at all to fire a torpedo.

I can say that mades the game really boring. A strange thing is that I had not this problem with the 1.8 to 1.9 version. At a moment I usually meet a ship alone, a easy target to shoot. It's over now.

Is it a bug or something like that ? Thank you for your answers.

PS : Sorry for my english. It is not my native language. And great work to the modders !

Thanks AVGWarhawk for your answer.
I already now that traffic wa reworked in 1.8 because I have also played this version.
What I mean today is that I find nothing to shoot on. I have some radio reports about well guarded convois but too far from my position. I 've decided to look a bit to RFB mod. Just to try. So I don't need help anymore but I will thank you for answer and for all the information anyone can find into this forum. That's really help.

I thank Ducimus and the modders for their great job. I have played a lot of hours with TMO. You made me a happy submariner.
