Sorry
By wont work I mean I do not see any signs that the mod is working. The new career start dates are not present, no new task bar icons, nothing new under help when I press F1
In other words I dont think I am loading the mod correctly.

What I did was create a folder named FTT into my MODS folder creats by GME
Then I dropped the .7z file inside
It then shows up under GME and I activate it but no signs of the mod are showing up

[Ducimus]

Ahh,.

the 7z file is a compressed file. Similar to a zip file, only it has a much better compression rate. (that 11mb file, uncompresssed to be about 30 mbs or so). You'll need WinRar to unpack it.

OOps

I am so used to GWX and it being an .exe file
Been a while since I used a 7z file
Where do I 'unzip' it? Into my FTT folder inside my mods folder?

Thanks for the help

[Ducimus]

Unzip the files contents straight into the mod directory. It should parse out all other directory pathing by itself.

I got it working now thank you very much for the help

[Lord Axel]

Great Mod!
Thanks for all that you do for us

[Ducimus]

Almost there.....

I have one more thing to change. I caught it at the last minute. Some of the 1944 patrol objectives are sending you to areas where there is no traffic at all. In 1944, JP traffic reces to the yellow sea, south china sea, and areas around japan itself. Most of the south pacific is swept clear.

So ill need to change some of the patrol objectives to reflect that. Anyway, heres the updated changelog for version 2.5. Hopefully ill have it up late tonight. Depends on how long the flotilla.upc file changes take me.

Nice mod but I have a question. Does the external view work at all with your mod? F1 for help says F12 instead of F11 is external view, when I hit F12 I go to the sonar station????

[LZ_Baker]

It should be working with F12. Did you install the mod properly using the mod enabler? Did you overwrite that file with another mod?

I loaded the mod using JSGME, the only other mods I use are, Kosh Slide-Out Manual, 360 degree bearing plotter imperial 1.4 and that's it :hmm:

I know it's working because I start out west of Midway when starting a cruise from P.H. and radar now works..........

[LZ_Baker]

I don't use those mods so I don't know off hand, but do they overwritre any files from this mod?

I beleive the file in question is data/cfg/commands. You can open it in note/wordpad

[Ducimus]

You really shouldnt use any mod that conflicts with files in FTT.


Ill be posting the next version tommrrow morning.



Oh yea.. i have a surpise. I could tell you, but that would ruin it. Lets just say, a ahh... "celebrity" will be making an appearance in FTT, and no im not documenting it, you'll just have to find out what it is the hard way. :rotfl:


EDIT:

Oh, who the hell am i kidding, after what i just did, if i dont tell you guys up front, IF you do run into this celebrity without a warning, i'll never hear the end of it.

Heres a BIG, BIG HINT:

He is unique, will only spawn in one area, and ummm doesn't miss much.
Unless your crazy good, or just plain crazy, id steer clear of him

[Florida Sailor]

Well, he looks to be a pretty slippery character, but my XO, Mr. Bledsoe and I have been working the crew on a 0 degree AOB, bow shot and I am headed for area 7 and...
