now its time to release AOTD´s "Fall of the rsisng Sun" for SH4 V1.5 UBM Version 1.3 ( New Version from 11.12.2009 )
This version of FOTRS is an full english version, especially made for the english speakin community !

First of all we would like to mention that TMO (Trigger Maru Overhauled by Ducimus on www.subsim.com) was the base and inspiration of this modpack. Special thanks to Ducimus and all other modders for their work ! In addition we would like to note, that “Fall of the rising sun” is just a modpack and not a mod for itself. That means, that “FOTRS” is a bundle of many already existing modifications and many other new modifications made by me and my clanmates. The copyright of each modification belongs to its developer.

"Fall of the rising Sun" is full JSGME-compatible and this Version is made for SH4 V1.5 ( UBM-Version )

Contents :

New Units :

1.) Ships

You get the point about the ships don't you

New flight-management is added to the fighter.
If you took the loadout "fighter" this plane will attack all ships and subs in an low level-flight with the guns.
For testing this out you can play an singlemission called "Airtest deepflight Ki44/G4M" and "Airtest deepflight Ki84/G4M"
There you see how strong planes are !

Missed this part didn't you

The campaign is based on TMO but heavily reworked.
Midway is now an Submarinebase where you can start your carreer.
All New Units are implemented to the campaign-files
Some Atlantic-Missions are implemented to the US-Campaign.
In case of this you can cross the Panama-canal to reach the Atlantic and your Patrol-Area and new Naval-Bases in the Atlantic.

And this

FOTRS uses an reworked Environment5.0 from W-Clear

Don't mean to be a ass but if you've red the whole 1st post you'd know what has been changed, added and altered already.

I did my part, now you do the rest.

Gonna give you a tip but not gonna name Names :
If you read more posts of... ( nope, not gonna say it ) (second tip: the important ones ), you'd know even more

Best regards.

Hi,

at the moment the campaign is not compatible cause the shipment is much more bigger !

I need help there !
It would be very nice when the makers of RSRDC will rewrite their campaign for the new FOTRS-Version.
Perhaps we will have a big team like GWX to create the best SH4-Mod ever.
Iam alone with the whole work and this took a long time.
Thats why FOTRS V2.0 is not ready yet.

Regards

Maddy

Well...RSRDC was created by Lurker, a missed in action...

Only if we have authorization for touch the Lurker´s RSRDC files, we can do some nice campaign compatible with FOTRS.

I modified the campaign in FOTRS 1.3, adding new ships (mainly from SH3), for my own use.

It seems Mr. Stevens must tell us about the authorizations for a RSRDC modified campaign, in ausence of Lurker the author.

Best regards and keep the good work, Maddy!

I wish I could help but I'm no modder at all, wouldn't know where to start

If you have some "simple work anyone can do" I could give a hand or two, however you'll have to explain what you need done and how.

GL on the work and we'll see it when its finished.

Many thanks!

RSRDC can be modified, directly in the campaign.cfg files, with text editor. It needs check the ship types, and adjust the types according those present in FOTRS.

Plus, add new campaign files for the new ships.

It isn´t a difficult work. But loooong....There a re many entries in the RSRDC campaign files.

I made for my own use diverse modifications in FOTRS 1.3. For example, I have the TMO 25 interiors in FOTRS, with the 3D TDC and Nisgeis' stuff. Also, I added neutral merchant ships and a lot of traffic.

If Maddy like it, and Ducimus and the others modders authorize me, I can upload my modificactions.

Best regards,

Fitz

Herr Maddy, you are among our finest makers for this very fine Mod. I am thanking you more than these words can say.

those IJN ships are exactly right and correct for the changes for each, you have done very good work there. I am eager to see the new changes and updated version of this, which is i believe among the very best of the mods for WWII for this sim. It is complete and with so much that needed to be done.

Happy New Year and Beste Wünsche für das neue Jahr
