[REL] Traveller Mod for TMO

[BillBam]

Too bad, RSRD is a nice MOD but I can only play in short shifts due to my work schedule. That being said it sucks playing RSRD for a couple of hours and not coming across any activity. TMO alone allows for some action waiting for the BIG action.

Just a quick one: why only 2 men for repair crew??

Main reason was to prevent the player from loading up more crew than historical amounts while in port. But it was tweaked to allow the same repair speeds, just less repair crew now.

Upcoming Traveller Mod v2.04 new features so far:

- Random groups of 2-6 enemy bomber formations cruising around. Be very afraid if you come across one of these groups without diving.

- Local enemy coast observation posts. While cruising on the surface close to land, you can now be spotted by local enemy coast observation posts and have your position reported. You won't see them or know they saw you.

- All Japanese bases will now have visual, surface search radar, and HF/DF sensor equipment.

Thank you Traveller for your 2.03 mod

Ahh, nice to see you back Traveller. I think I may just get back into SH4 now

Good ideas there.

"Removed all sharpened and detailed submarine textures. They are now available as a separate download called 'Traveller Improved Submarine Textures'. This was done to reduce the file size of Traveller Mod by 1/3. 'Traveller Improved Submarine Textures' mod is compatible with all versions of Traveller Mod."

And we get this where?????????????????

This thread seems to have quieted a little. I also am wondering about the supply/oil dumps we are supposed to be able to destroy to receive renoun. I have approached several on the map now, and see only coconut palms where they are supposed to be. Has anyone actually seen such items?

There are bugs unfortunately he was unable to resolve before whatever took him away from the mod.I believe it may be why he deleted the mod from the provided links soon after and his PM's are disable or were last I checked.

I know the fuel tanks at Wake Island in V 2.6 are there.Not sure about anywhere else as I quit using the mod due to some CTD's involving convoys.Unfortunate because it is a really great mod, just needs the creator to identify some issues.

Yes, destroying fuel storage tanks gives you renown. And they are only visible after certain dates or missions received.

Another quick one....

Why sonar stations is not available while surfaced?? WCA sonar historically could be used on surface at low speeds...

[Admiral Halsey]

Just wanted to ask those who use it a question. Why don't you have the Midway Transfer enabled? After all you get to Japan faster and can stay a couple of extra days off the home islands. Which in turn might net some more tonnage if you're lucky.

I have recently returned to silent hunter after a long break and im interested in this as well.

I am by no means a technical reference on this at all but in doing some reading and researching it looks like that passive sonar was capable while surfaced due to the devices being mounted on the keel on US subs? <--- Im sure the very knowledgeable skippers out there can confirm/deny this as again im not very sure.

If anyone knows the files to look in I would be interested in making some modifications for my own personal use with regards to not having any sonar capabilities while surfaced.

This is of course if passive sonar was capable during WWII while surfaced. I like to play with as much realism as I can and am interested in this.

Im somewhat familiar with how to modify files but cant seem to locate how to enable/modify this aspect of the mod. Just a personal preference but again if this is historically accurate Id like to enable sonar while surfaced.

Literally I have just returned yesterday to silent hunter simming so I will do some more reading on the historical references on this topic to see if I can come up with an answer on my own.
