[REL] Open Horizons II (old thread)

[Rongel]

Hey!

I got excited with Uekels flag fix, and started to work with OH II imported ship fixes again. Now would be a great time to report any weirdness that you encounter with the ships. Things like:

-floating
-damage modelling
-sounds
-effects

I have witnessed already some issues myself, texture bugs and one critical mess-up that can crash the game in museum. There are many restrictions (no shadows, no water transparency) but there is also room for improvement. Screenshots will help even further!

Good afternoon Trevally!
Have some issues re. SOAN in the configuration 'Harbour addition'+OHII+mtns+mtns fix'.
Formelly when we used SOAN-new ships mod (when OHII was only in the process of development) there was an 'additional info' for some ships.
By now there is no any additional info at all (even for those units that have it before). Could it be improved somehow?

The Soan files are within TDW UI - but yes, more can be added.
There is a thread here about how that is done http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181007

You should still be seeing the soan info for the ships that were done.

Thanks, Trevally. I'll check this up one more time May be the problem appears only for the mentioned configuretion, and for OHII without Uekels mods it works great

@ Uekel

I had my first frozen flag tonight using your flag fix4.
It was an Iceland flag.
I noticed that there are no new texture for Iceland flag - could this be the cause

Have now a last version: http://www.mediafire.com/?zt37lr3mty9zm9w

There, all flags are based on one model, instead of two. Have previously civilian and military flags kept separate, but now I know, they differ only in the texture.

The folder "Textures" existed since the first attempt, because I wanted to make sure that all textures are available in the game. Actually it is not required for the function. No texture of these is new, unfortunately so not it not might be the reason.


Btw: Would you give me the permission to use this flag.dat also in my mod?

Regards

Ghost ships.

If they weren't reported yet,

In my thread "help" in the first page of SH5 Mods Workshop, third page of the thread, a report on the ghost ship problem, my modlist and my system.

I have both eastern british coastal and breaking the fortress available at the beginning of the campaign . Is this correct that breaking the fortress is available at the start of the campaign ?

Im not sure who made the flag.dat
TDW was the last one to edit it before you

Yes - I changed this as some players where getting back to base late and then by the time they select it in the brief and the 14 days pass to enter the boat - the deadline could have passed.

For the next update - I am going to put it back a week so that the first mission is eastern uk and then a week later Scapa will appear.

Good question.... Believe she came initially from thfeu58, is also noted in the file. Then I remember, that Rongel built in again additional nations. I think the textures, came also from him.

Hmm... who will get the credits?

If I remember right, the flag.dat came from thfeu56's mod, he gave permission to use it in OH II. I added more nations and did more textures to them. Gap was also involved, there was talk that he would do another version with different shaped flags, but haven't seen him here for some time now...

BdU is a big meanie! I sink three ships in the Strait of Dover on my second day at sea and he asks for an update. I send the patrol report in and he says "Be more aggressive!"

Really loving all the radio messages and different ships in this mod.

On the way to the AO I'd received a radio message about a friendly u-boot, and then when I got near the area I ran into 4 destroyers. Maybe the milkcow was killed in transit? Dunno, but I'm back in business!


Bonus! During the four day trip down to the refuel tanker I'd been hounded by airplanes almost the entire way. I had to crash dive several times a day basically. In order to conserve fuel I hadn't recharged my batteries and by the time I reached the end they were at 60% or so. However the refit seems to have magically recharged them.

Thanks Orpheus

Thanks for the link, Trevally, and also for the previous one U sent me by PM The history of lands we live has common thread, and traditions to honour the memory of the brave
