Is it dead?

CCIP · 09-25-05, 03:03 PM

How can it be dead if its first version is in RUb already? :hmm:

No, and neither is the progress on it. Things have slowed down a bit, but it's still going. The plans for the next stage are up already, especially in terms of touching up and improving the operations off the American coast.

Please look at the Arctic convoys I am going nuts sure I am doing something wrong.

CCIP · 09-25-05, 03:48 PM

They're out there. In fact judging by my recent readings on those things, they're out there more often than they were historically, sometimes :hmm:

The real problem is the lack of grids north of Iceland, where the real Arctic operations focused.

Why are the grids missing for the far north? The did exist historically, right?

Yes they did!
You can DL a map from Terrapin's site http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/ called "KM MAPS No 3465 North Polar sea" if you like to see.

Sorry for double posts by mistake

CCIP · 09-26-05, 04:44 PM

I do seriously wonder if it could be modded...

That said, the coordinates for convoy contacts and your own position ARE reported above the grids - but they're reported in Long/Lat rather than grid, and since the map isn't marked for those... bummer.

One way to work around that would be to at least paint a Long/Lat grid where the KM sectors on the map end :hmm:

the other issues w/ being up north is the Mercator type projection the game uses -- although distances are "stretched" on the map, your own range/speed don't change proportionally (if you get what i mean) so you spend at long time transiting.

I'm sure Rubini will do his own add-on as soon as it's finished. I like the massive harbor traffic myself. I've been in major harbors, and they're usually pretty busy, even in wartime (or should I say especially in wartime?).

Will the Ops Mod over write the H.T. Mod by Rubini?

I'd hate to lose his bustling ports and excellent, scripted, historical events.

The HT for RuB mod includes the latest version of the Ops mod if I'm not mistaken!

Rubini · 09-30-05, 08:06 AM

Yes, oRGy is right. The HT for RUb includes a update version of Ops (thanks CCIP) which isn't yet in RuB yourself.

Rubini.
