Deck gun position change after TMO

KGP · 04-29-11, 12:23 PM

Hi, my first post on your fantastic forum. I installed TMO 2.0 after the 3rd career patrol and everything has worked swimmingly except for one thing. I am now in a Balao and was offered an upgrade to my deck gun once I had received the new boat, which I took. This all happened prior to me installing TMO. Being a rather aggresive skipper I jumped at the chance of having a stern mounted deck gun. The problem I now have is that my crew mustering has no slot for a stern gunner, only an aft mount. I have coped with 'manual only - super slow load' mode but I now have a crew member who is a specialist gunner and would love to put him to work. The problem is that I never seem to be offered the deck gun upgrade anymore so I can't switch back to the aft mount. Is there a file or files I could edit to restore the original mount configuration?

I have made a comprehensive search of the site and can't seem to find anything so apologies if I missed it.

On a related note: I would sincerely like to both thank and congratulate anyone and everyone involved in the mods. What a difference. Absolutely awesome job, you have my appreciation and - unfortunately unrewarded - thanks for turning this sim into a truely great experience.

Welcome abroad mate.

So, you're saying that you installed TMO during a career, and not before starting a career? I'd go back to the beginning, seeing it's only your third patrol, and start a new career, this time with TMO installed before starting off. But, that's just the way I would do it.

Its also probably the way I should do it but I am actually on my 8th patrol with 900k tons on the leaderboard so I am not too thrilled at the idea of going back to the beginning just yet. It was just before my third patrol the I installed TMO (or after, I only have 64k of brain memory and its pretty much all used

).

Thanks for the great welcome too, hopefully I can be of use at some point and earn the welcome.

Welcomes are freely given around here, you don't have to earn them.

I'm still of no use so, you're under no pressure in that category.

I can't remember for sure, but I think Ducimus addresses this issue in the TMO manual. I believe there is a optional mod you need to install if you want the aft mounted gun but you need to decide at the beginning of a career whether you want it fore or aft.

The mod you need is in the TMO 2.0 Optional mod folder that was downloaded with TMO

Many thanks, I'll give it a shot.

The very comprehesive documentation covering and included with TMO explains it perfectly. Did I hear somebody say RTFM???????
