[REL] Fifi Compilation for OM+OMEGU

[Benzin1973]

Fifi, you alone are responsible for me being right now in the process of reinstalling SH4
I was just recently feeling frustrated about not having a uboat game to play. SH5... i just cant stand it. SH3 i love, but ibe played it nearly 1000 hours. And the new game uboat is still a nearly unplayable bug fest.


Now i can enjoy riding my uboat once again thanks to you!

Thank you!


Question for you (or anyone who knows), I seem to recall that OM had a "fatal" flaw wich made it impossible to finish a whole career, something to do with conning towers upgrading and making the game impossible to continue? Or something along those lines?


Does you mod correct this problem? or maybe im confused about what the original problem with OM was?


If you or anyone can shed some light on this issue for me, i would really appreciate it. As im about to start a new career using OM and this mod, and i would like to know if i can expect any problems of this sort.


Thanks in advance!

I don’t want to be responsible !!

Actually my mod doesn’t correct campaign files, EXCEPT what FOTRSU team has done...and it was added to update 2 (they fixed some campaign files i can’t tell you —> i’m A noob when it comes to those files )

I don’t know about this fatal flaw due to upgrade, as i never ended a career and never passed 1942 myself...just because i decided to enhance visual stuff in OM

If there is such problem in OM, maybe i could try to have a look with my FOTRSU friends, but that’s all i can say right now...i’m Afraid.
I have to finish the work i started first
(Be aware the imported subs you are seeing above are not released yet!)

I can comment on the campaign files, in that there were a few bad "Type=" calls that could cause issues. It is the kind of trouble that is to be expected in all mods, since it is a human doing the work. We have better tools available today to check for things like that, which lurker did not have when he built the original OM. He had to rely upon eye sight... As for the conning tower issue, we would have to wait for s7rikeback to respond to that, but there were some date issues found. There are many parts that can influence a proper conning tower fitting. Most devices that attach to a submarine do so through the conning tower, including periscopes, snorkel, radar, radar detectors, watch crew, AA guns, etc., so something being "off" with any one part can somtimes influence all the others.

Thanks for your clarifications my friend

While i'm here again, i show you the VIIC41 i have almost finished...just few adjustments, and all the water particules to add, nothing really difficult.
This one is kind of special, as the CT is from WAC (but KSD camo) and the hull is from KSD!
i like the result

What is the POURPUSE of these?

good question!

To me, as it is quite far forward above probably the bow torpedo room, it should be related to some amunitions loading?
Stock OM VIIC41 had the same stuff, but not as beautifully rendered.

Maybe some VIIC specialist could enlighten us...

The front device looks like the anchor winch, and the next four look like mine tubes - except the dogs on the exterior, so exterior torpedo stowage... ??
