[REL] Run Silent, Run Deep - The Campaign

[BigWalleye]

JSGME does not write to the /Mods folder. It copies from the Mods folder to the /Data file and its subtree. It saves a copy of every file it over-writes in /Mods/!BACKUP!. When it uninstalls, it replaces the uninstalled file in /Data with the saved backup. Everything in your /Mods folder remains exactly as you put it there. The copy of TMO v2.5 in the /Mods folder should be just fine.

But it is onlythe work of a second to click on your copy of the zipped TMO file you downloaded and then drag the unzipped file from WinZip to your /Mods folder. Of course, you did save the download, didn't you?

Yes, copy of download saved. Thanks for the detailed explanation. Well done and appreciated.

Also after reading CapnScurvy's recommendation, backup of almost prestine SH4 folder acquired...but after a few JSMGE transfers. Rats! I transferred mods out of JSGME then made copy of SH4 folder in case of future corruption. Don't know if the few transfers would have messed up the original folder, hope not.

Thanks all for your help.

hello captains...im having major problem with rsrd for tmo...though i enjoy the mod..it seems like i have to search for the major battles and operations...why in the campaign mode i dont get assigned to participate in major ones like midway or coral sea operation always assigned to patrol somewhere so far away so when i reach there a battle happens behind me...like example going to china sea reached there sank 2 tankers and battle of midway was happening ..i want to go sink some heavy japanese cruisers or carriers ?
hope u understand what i mean.... or is the answer just to neglect assignments and go search for battles

Yea, sometimes you assigned to zones where you dont get the main actions when you think you should.Think it perhaps it was for realism sake, you wont always be in on the big actions and sub war was mostly separated from the big fleet actions.Also depends on the dates, also depends on date/flotilla.Great thing about RSRD is it does not penalize you, it authorizes you to hunt outside your area "if units are encountered" . I had trouble with RSRD initially.My advice is to open the Mission Editor, open up RSRD, look at the file Battle of Midway for example, can get an idea of the area you need to be in or if you want to ensure you are there, get the coordinates etc.

I recently neglected an assignment.September 1942 with a Narwhal class, I was ordered to Tokyo to patrol while all the Guadalcanal action was happening, so I headed for the Solomons.Witnssed Battle of Santa Cruz Islands, Cape Esperance, Battleship fight at Gauadalcanal on November 13, and the next one on November 14/15.Then I headed home after 60 days on patrol.

RSRD is great in it recreates battles in rather accurate manner.Tougher in early war also because you dont have radar, so not as easy to find them.Stumbling across them in the wide open ocean is about how it was in RL, mostly luck.

No problem. I was just assigned to patrol an area during Operation Forager in June 1944(Invasion of Marianna Islands what would become battle of philippine sea) and was assigned to an area where both IJN carrier forces showed up, it was 50 NM area so difficult to miss them. Took me all night to track and get ahead but dove at dawn, moved in and found myself in position to fire on the Taiho (which was actually sunk by a US sub during this Battle.USS Albacore hit her with one torpedo that ruptured avgas tanks, the vapors built up and caused massive explosions, was also Admiral Ozawa's flagship) I was too close when I came up to scope depth for bow shot as her course had altered so turned for stern shot, fired 4 fish from 700 yards or so, all hit.She blew up in a nice manner and sank about 30 minutes later.
