[REL] Real Fleet Boat 2.0

propbeanie · 07-04-19, 03:13 PM

Think of the camera.dat as the view of the world from that camera position. There are interior cameras for each "room" of the boat, the exterior, gun positions, etc. CapnScurvy "balanced" his mod's camera for the rest of the mod, although a camera that is built for OTC should be compatible with it...

The RecMan is Recognition Manual, and is at the heart of the OTC. Every ship of necessity has changes made to its sim file at a minimum, for conformity to OTC, and they are therefore updated for the Recognition Manual. Any additions or changes to any ships in the game have to be done in a manner compatible with OTC. OTC overwrites the RFB's ship sim file changes... Originally, OTC was written for Stock by CapnScurvy, and he converted a version for RFB v1.4. Near as I can tell, he did not participate in the conversion to v2.0, only lending permission for it to be done. Someone else did the conversion. Not saying that it isn't compatible, just that CapnScurvy didn't do it. If there were sinking mechanics in RFB2, a person would have to merge the RFB2 sim files with the OTC ones, if that hadn't been done before...

au contraire mon frère (not literally, of course - the US version, brother)! Anytime you point the periscope at something, the "targeting" system kicks in. Anytime, in fact, that you are at periscope depth, scope up or not, you have the "visual" kicking in - "Ship spotted!"... The game attempts to ID, and runs into an incompatible setting, and possible CTD...

well....if i take the OTC RFB 2.0 mod and lose the Submarine folder and lose the Sea folder and lose the CFG folder, things proceed pretty well. completed one mission and am preparing to depart on the next one tomorrow.

so, the recognition manual is using the previous set of length and height factors for ships and subs which will be from the normal, everyday, RFB 2.0 files. optics are definitely better meaning larger.

on a lighter note, i was going to quote General Colt from Kelly's Heroes but i thought better of it.

I know RFB is old news to most of you guys... but I'm new....

I'm trying to run RFB 2.0 with the april 2010 patch applied.
RFB 2.0 w/ no patch seems to run fine.
But with the patch applied, as soon as I go to the bridge or try to look through a periscope I get a game freeze followed by CTD.

Steam version of game, with U-boats expansion (1.5)
Running at 1080p 60hz in windowed mode

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Shortpeople

Disregard... I found an earlier post with same issue.
downloaded 64 bit 4gb executable conversion app here

That got things working smoothly.
