Ever since I have installed this mod, the strangest thing has happened. In my S-boat (only one I've used with this mod so far), I am INSTA-detected in a way I never have been in stock or Trigger Maru + RSRD.

What I mean is, even at night, fully submerged, scopes lowered, every destroyer makes a bee line to me every single time.

I can see when they make contact and start blinking their lights and it's many thousand yards out. I could understand it occasionally...maybe their active sonar is pinging and they get a long range echo, but every single time, and every time running right for me as if I were running on the surface.

No matter how far down and quiet I go, they make runs on me and fire star shells continuously.

Forget surface raids! They are after me long before I can see them.

This can't be right. What do you think is going on here?

Also, is this mod incompatible with the Narwhal mod? Everytime I go to the bridge or external views it CTD.

Sadly it seems to be the case. I tried loading the Narwhal class after and the screen just goes all purple with externals.

It's a shame. I really liked this mod, but it's kind of a dealbreaker that I can't use my sub

Hi. Narwhale mod is not compatible. As far as the S-Boat instant detection you are experiencing, I have no idea. I haven't experienced it. And there are no file changes that would cause this. You are probably experiencing a mod conflict problem somewhere. Be aware that Traveller Mod is not compatible with any other mods unless used with a specifically-made compatibility patch, which would be located in the included 'Extras' folder.

Hi. No, it wasn't merged. I removed it because it caused a conflict with changes made in v2.5. But upon your request, I've made a new version compatible with 2.5.

Also, I had removed the optional Harder Enemy AI Escorts patch due to a conflict, but have gone ahead and made a new version compatible with Traveller 2.5 to give you guys some more variety. It's based somewhat on Ducimus' original version, but with some changes to make it compatible.. and not too difficult in some aspects. It's hard and will add a challenge, but shouldn't be impossible.

Here are the download links-

Hey everyone. I've decided to release at least one more version in the future. Some things still need a bit of improvement, plus I've discovered a few functional features that were strangely left out by developers. Maybe they ran out of time.

So anyway, to keep the file size down, I'm going to release the sharpened sub textures as a separate download. And they will be compatible with any future Traveller Mod version. That should cut down the file download size by about half. But for now, I hope you're all enjoying v2.5.

Hmm...not sure what else would cause this. I am running TMO and RSRD Realistic Scopes and not much else. I'll try running with just TMO and RSRD plus yours and see if the results are the same.

Kind of a bummer on the Narwhal-class incompatibility as that is really a great addition to the game. I know you're putting in a lot of work to achieve your vision and I really like and appreciate it, but do you think there's any realistic way that might be made compatible in the future?

I didn't mean to offend you with the orange text. It's just that a lot of people don't seem to understand that mixing even the simplest mods can easily break things. So I was just trying to make that clear.

I don't even have the Narwhale mod on my computer, so I can't really say how much work it would take to make a compatible version. But I will consider picking it up.

I have never used it, but I was thinking of trying it out. Pretty sure I know the answer already, but will this work with Operation Monsun?

Many thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks for all of your hard work Traveller, as it's very very good, and most appreciated.

I have always previously used RFB rather than TMO, and though I've been tempted in the past, I never thought there was enough of a difference between the two to warrant changing over. However, your mod gave me the impetus to try 'something different'.

I must say I'm very pleased with the end result. My install and gameplay isn't at all buggy, and I've thoroughly enjoyed playing this mod.

I shall now install your final version, and re-commence a new career.

Thanks again!
