However...I want to use Max Optics and the accompanying Metric Nomographs. I installed them after ISE and permitted a large number of overwrites. Now in missions I have the new zoom levels as well as the nomograph tools. BUT the new buttons at the various stations added by GFO are gone! I don't know what else may be adversely affected, but I don't want to lose GFO functionality. I am puzzled by this since the MaxOptics version is specifically for GFO.

Any advice? Are there other optics mods and nomograph mods that could be added instead, and not conflict with GFO?

the simple solution if all you are missing is the menu bar functions is to add my menu bar mod on top of the other mods and that shoud return then. i am not 100% sure if that would effect the other mods but i dont think it would so try it and see.

here is my orders bar mod: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1192

Thanks Webster - looking at all the threads, advice, and content, it looks like you (along with several others) are loyally holding up a major part of the foundations of Silent Hunter for a long time. I will try your suggestion which should work. I am too new at this point to be able to tell whether there are other significant losses or conflicts, but am willing to move ahead and see.

Perhaps it would be wiser not to use ISE? I read above that some had used it without issues but would do others' experience show that Real Environment is fully compatible, or more so?

I had also planned, once the three mods MMM, ISE & MaxOptics4 proved ok, to add in RSRDC for stock with your .401 patch for it.

However, any advice - beginning with GFO as the foundation - would be more than welcome: whether or not to use one or another or no environment mod...RSRD for a first campaign in SH4.

Thanks again.

the best way is to see what shows up as a conflict and then figure out what that file does in GFO and that will tell you what will no longer work if you overwrite it. it helps to know something about modding to figure this out but if you read the info from both mods it can help you decide which file you might want to leave out or overwrite.

i havent kept up with GFO so there are mods like ISE that i havent tested or examined for compatability so without digging into it i cant say anything about what might be changed.

i have said many times before i really need to update GFO but i can never find any time to do it, even worse was i finally managed to force myself to make time to do some work on it over about a years time and i was about 50% done with an update for GFO when my hard drive failed and all that work was lost so i have nothing to show for it.

there is just too much else going on for me right now to see when i could find time to sit at a computer for hours on end in order to mod again

Hiya Webster, I remember you having a fix for the survivors zooming around the sea like demented chickens on speed, can you remember which file you edited and what values should be changed in it. Maybe then I can finally catch one of these nutters without having to use anymore profane language.

Understood Webster. I think you are generous with your time answering questions here and assisting as you can. Time is practically the most precious resource - so thank you very much.

there is a survivor file (i think its a dat file) but i cant remember what the deal with it was. im not sure if i changed it or not but i did fix the lifeboats so they move less like speedy gonzalez zipping about like cockroaches when you turn the lights on lol.

IIRC i didnt solve the survivor speed issue but you need to look for speed or horsepower or both.

i dont think i tried too hard to solve it because i had other priorities going on so dig around the files and you might be able to resolve it. be advised they have the controler for the guy moving his arms but he also has a controler for how he moves with the water so i never figured out that part since there is no "tide" to the game (maybe is the wind or waves)

the same controlers are used for all objects in the water not just boats

Hey Webster. Is this mod listed on any other site besides Subsim? I reached my daily download limit downloading your mods and don't see the mod listed on Gamefront anymore.

yep, im so tired of gamefront deleting mods willy nilly

every few months I reupload my mods there but they keep deleting them so im giving up even trying anymore.

in 24 hours you download limit will reset and you can get more but search the internet and you can find some other sites that have my mods. I don't control that so they may be older outdated versions so its up to you to compare the read me files with those found here. all the mods here (if there was anything that needed updating) are my newer updated versions of all my mods.
