[REL] The Game Fixes Only Mod

Nice work

Rockin Robbins · 05-14-09, 10:03 AM

I love the mod, but I have to ask, what if Real Fleet Boat had renamed their mod to "Unofficial Game Patch 1.6" and claimed that future mods should be based on it? I have a problem with that, be it GFO, TMO, FOTRS, GWX or Rockin Robbins.

It also confuses the issue of just what a game patch is. The devs purposely made that distinction with 1.5, making hardwired code changes and leaving most moddable issues to the modders. Changing parameter files does not constitute a patch. Changing executable files is what a patch does. If we were to do this we would overstep our role of modders and turn into illegal hackers of Ubi's game code. Methinks we should avoid that.

Just my opinion that muddying the waters between mod and patch does everyone a disservice that we should avoid.

It's been a long way since you first proposed such a patch in the forums, I must congratulate you for having had the endurance and will to push it forward

Whiel supermods will always remain independent because they are already too much built up on a specific basis, this 1.6 is exactly what is needed for people who just want to play a stock game or add their own selected mods.

Many thanks for this

Wow! Very Impressed! I must say imo this is an excellent mod/unofficial patch and am glad I downloaded it. That being said, I believe I have the first bug report.

When ringing up Ahead 2/3 the telegraph needle moves and when the OOD is about to say Ahead Slow, the game will CTD. Also noted that my crew had no eyes! Talk about a creepy crew. But hey, they still manage to call out contacts!

after a few requests to upload this at various other sites i figured it would be best to post this:

anyone who wants to can feel free to put it up any place and anywhere they wish to.

it is what it is and it will never be altered or updated by me so i need no control over it.

as far as i am concerned it belongs to everyone now.

as for the rest of my mods, i feel they are there for everyone and if you want to post them then go ahead and feel free to do so.

each of my mods has a read me in it and that is what i use as the thread post so all you have to do is use that as the mod description for any mod.

Indeed, this looks like a very nice mod!

Way to go WEBSTER!!!

@WEBSTER: Sir, does GFOM fix the "Silent" Pocket Battleship? I noticed that in the Museum and in game that it is silent, and when I say silent, I mean no engine noise OR screw noises.

Are you planing to add this into the "next" GFOM version? Has anyone else notice this?

@tonschk Sir, I just downloaded it and it appears to be a Single Missions mod.

It looks good, I'll try it right away.

the eye thing is the eye bug fix, i guess it gives you the eye bug in some cases so i removed it from patch v1.6

the ahead 2/3 was a glitch in my sound files and i cant figure it out so i just removed the ahead 2/3 and back 2/3 so it stays with the stock ahead slow and back slow sounds.

i am re uploading patch v1.6 without those files at this very moment but for those of you who already have v1.6 PM me for a link to replace the files with copies of the original ahead slow and back slow sounds.

EDIT: ok the updated patch v1.6 is now uploaded without the bugged files as of 3:30pm US central standard time

How do I turn off Battery charging with the GFO mod? When I click on the battery button when surfaced the shipmate just says "charging battery".

In the stock version 1.5 I am able to toggle the battery charging on and off.

Thansk for any help.

it hasnt changed but i moved the battery charging button from the command room to the bridge station controls since battery charging is only done when surfaced.

simply use the battery charging button on the bridge controls to toggle it off or on.
