ROW Rocks! As does RSRD!!!

[Fincuan]

If one were to merge the mods the way I have done, which requires a bit more work than just putting one on top of the other, then one would enjoy ALL TMaru's improvements you listed in the gameplay part. You will obviously lose the things that RSRDC changes, the most important ones being Tater's campaign layers and Duci's new construction floatillas. I also chose all the RSRDC unit loadouts and properties over those of TMaru, but given enough time one could possibly have the best from both of them. If TMaru is 1 and RSRDC is 1, then in this case 1+1 =~1.9, which isn't too bad in my opinion. ROW and NSM can naturally be used just fine with this installation, since they work with TMaru to begin with. I'm currently trying to merge TMaru 1.6.5 with RSRDC 1.03, and will report back when or if it's done. If enough people are interested and the original modders do not oppose this , I might even release the work or at least write detailed instructions on how to do it. It's not space science, just tedious work

Note that I'm not merging RSRDC to TMaru because I think that Tater's campaign layers suck, which they do not, but because I want to try RSRDC without losing all of TMaru's improvements.

For those of you combining mods, well... more power to you! Combining mods, is how one learns to mod, quite honestly. So, as long as you dont expect tech support like, "this isnt working correctly!" type of thing, id encourage you to combine, mix, and match, and flavor to taste as much as you have the patience for.

I only have two items of warning

1.) Beware "Generic destroyer escort" in the campaign layers. Unless you want "parkers tin can", or worse yet, "Akikaze destroyer" cropping up somewhere randomly in the game world other then there designated places.

2.) Crewrating=4 in the mis layers. (Aka, "elites"). Id open up notepad, and do a find and replace job on those, and bump them down to crewrating=3. When i adjusted the AI in TM, part of that adjustment was the crew rating.

Its been awhile but what i think i did to crew rating was this:
Anything that was crewrating 0, changed to crew rating 2.
Anyything that was crew rating 1, was changed to crew rating 2
crew rating 2, was changed to crew rating 3
Anything that was at a crew rating 3, stayed there
anything that was crew rating 4, was demoted to crew rating 3.

So in the end, TM sports alot of crew ratings 2, and 3. This adjustment was neccessary because in my opinion crew ratings 0, and 1, are a freaking waste of space, and crew rating 4's are just insane, espeically after you tweak the AI to be a little more sensitive their underwater detection methods.


So, my only thing is, keep those two things in mind, and if things don't work out well, don't yell at me or urker_hib3, we didnt do it!

Thanks for the information Ducimus

I understand that the mods weren't meant to be used like this, and thus you and the other original modders are in no way obliged to solve the problems that may arise. That's what we have Subsim for Be prepared for some "OMG Why is my game doing this and this" threads in the near future, since the mods are now merged and testing starts NOW.

Is anyone I neglected to offend feeling left out? I am accepting applications for further offenses.

That's no fun at all!

As the sun goes down, the hunt begins. Leo, what you've done here is poetry! Compare that to my signature, done before ROW. A hundred times more real.
