Is there a work around this Armistead? I really want to keep the mod.

Can't say for sure. One, don't go to the museum, often platforms placed in the game aren't put in museum files and it will crash there.

I can't say for sure, but seems I once ran the rescue sub mod with base Trav mod and I had issues of crashing. However, I just didn't like the concept and nerfed it without looking into the issue.

Sometimes with lots of mods being activated and deactivated, a file becomes corrupt. The only advise I could give you is to remove your mods from the folder and install copies of new ones, all mods that you use. I even keep a clean copy of my SH4 data file, so when I try a different mod setup, I do it over a fresh SH4 data install.

Not gonna read all the post again, but first disable the rescue sub mod and try that. I think I told you not to use the "take me home" mod, the concept and most features are were built into Trav mod.

Can't remember, did you try the 2.02 version, think I told you I would email it, but don't remember as I send lots of emails here to people.

Again, simply try the base Trav mod first over TMO/RSRD, see how it works. If you want to use the other Trav mods, install and test one at a time, maybe you'll find the culprit.

I'm suspecting a platform issue. Let me know what happens and I'll try to help if I can.

It's nice to see some players are still interested in my mods.

Thanks Armistead for explaining the install process. I haven't been around here in a while and decided to register again (I don't have my old Traveller password or email address anymore). I'm thinking about updating my mods again, but they will have to be renamed under Robin!

I'm sure you're wondering why I suddenly disappeared from the Ubisoft SH4 forum last year. I was just burned out on modding and decided to take a leave of absence. Too many real-life issues at the time. But I'm back and will seriously consider doing some updates. I do agree with you about too many shadow recon planes swarming in the current version for TMO. Also, the Rescue Sub aspect is still a bit buggy. I never could get it to work perfectly due to the crash that sometimes occured after repairs and refueling finished.

I also highly recommend my mod for use Operation Monsoon U-boat campaigns. I put a heck of a lot of work into it. Just the 350+ custom, historcally accurate U-boat campaign radio messages took me almost 100 hours to complete!

Glad to have you back, I for one am glad to see you. Sent you a PM.

Many players love your mod and numerous new people really like it.

I know many would like a version for OTC mod. I've been comparing the files, may not be as much work as I suspected. I was debating what elements of whose I would use, but I think most would like your damage model.

Anyway, been working on something that I could use some help or advice, I'll discuss it by PM with you when I get home. Maybe you could look at it and help me figure it out.

You're one of the best modders I know, more for thinking out of the box.......Hang around!!!!!

Thank you. Glad to be back after a very long break.

I was planning on going into permanent modding retirement, but decided not yet. But I will avoid burnout this time around by not pushing myself too much.

I look forward to hearing your modding ideas.

Thanks guys. Good to be back after a year-long break.

Anyway, I'm always open to new ideas regarding my mods. I'm not sure how many more Traveller.. er.. I mean Robin mod release versions there will be for TMO, but there will be at least a few.

If you would like your old ID and all, you could try PM'ing Uncle Neal. It's worth a shot.

Hello Traveller, glad you mentioned OM, I just to decided to try it out. Does your mod include any upgrades for U-boats in OM? If not, have you got any idea how to include some upgrades for U-boats?

Armistead · 04-02-13, 09:20 AM

Trav,

I can't send you PM's now.

I know several here have ver 2.02, I'll PM around and see if it can get uploaded and see if a mod will check the RSRD links to get them back working.

I won't be home until Sunday, so don't have PC with files.

Thanks to Neal, Traveller is back.

I understand, Armistead. Thanks. And if you still have my v1.1 sound mod (with the falling bomb sounds), I'd appreciate that, too. And my PM is working now.

Hi Mido. I didn't make any changes to U-boat upgrades in Traveller mod for Om, but Om does already include many upgrades you can get with renown points.

Thanks for your reply! I noticed that there are some equipment upgrades but never got a better boat yet. I started a career with a Type VIIB boat in '39 and still didn't get a more advanced boat in '43!
Do you know where to edit the U-Boat upgrades (not equipment upgrades)?
BTW, great modpack for OM!!!

Welcome aboard Traveller. Glad to see you made it. If you've been to the Ubi site, you probably noticed some changes for the worse. Most of us older guys and girl have all but abandoned ship over there.

Hi fireftr18. Good to be back here. It's a shame what happened over at the Ubisoft forums. I can see why everyone jumped ship over there. Oh well. This place is much better anyway.
