Awards/medals

[I'm goin' down]

What is the medals fix that is compatible with TMO2.0? I tried medals fix 2, and started having trouble with the game, so I am thinking I need a different medals mod.

Note: I just found some posts by CapnScurvy. The Medals Fix is compatible with RSRDC but he warns that if other mods are added there could be mod soup problems. I think that is what is what I ran into, as I play TMO2.0 + RSRDC, plus various other mods. I just deactivated the medals fix, and that has eliminated game freezes and a crash (I hope!)

YEP, mod soup!!

Just a general warning to those that think they can run anything with the game and it will all live happily together..............NOT!!

TMO 2.0 doesn't need a medals fix. My "U.S. Medals Fix II" files are already in it. Adding another layer will just get you into trouble. Ducimus worked on the proper medal showing years ago. I removed the medals from the Captains Office award box because I'm no 3D modeling expert and couldn't make a set of medals for it (I had a medal that was the size of the desk itself). I added the different "type" of medals and moved a couple of things around when I discovered the medal "order" was out of whack with the achievements one accomplished during a mission or career.

U.S. Medals Fix II found HERE is compatible to the stock game only. Don't activate it through JSGME behind other mods that conflict with the files it changes. The RSRDC mod that is named version 550 is compatible to the stock game only; because Lurker's files don't conflict with the Medals Fix files, U.S. Medals Fix II is compatible with it.

@ I'm going down, I hope your using the correct version of RSRDC with TMO 2, That would be "RSRDC_TMO_v502" (and its patch). This is why as a gamer trying different mods, you need to know what files are changed by one that may conflict with another. Just having a "salad bowl" full of mods without knowing what one does over the other is going to cause problems.

You will notice there are a couple of versions of the U.S. Medals Fix II found on the SubSim "DownLoads" pages. Their for RFB 1.52, TMO 1.6.3, etc. As one may expect they are for older versions of these mods. Don't expect to use them with a newer version of the same modification. Trouble, trouble, TROUBLE!!!

I noticed that TMO had the correct medals last night. I am running RSRDC 502, so I got that part right! Thanks for the information re mod soup.

FYI - I tired Row Sound Effect v_9, but did not like the guy coughing every few minutes. I deactived it and reactived EAX SoundSim with "Webster's Maneuver" for TMO1.9 (I have to ask Webster what "Webster's Maneuver" means.)

Also, I replaced EZ Plot v1.0 with Stock Map Icons, the latter which restores the original SH4 plane and ship silouette colors and designs.
