This is the particles file materials file and the textures for the ROW special effect's.

Since you started to have people over write ROW I am getting a lot of messages saying the fire and oil slik's are pixled.

So can you update the file's for new download's please?!

This contains the released work not any update's as the update's are not ready yet.

You really should us leovampires updated files. The pixelated effect is a bit annoying. I get pixels that are bigger than the crew for the fire and oil effects.

Yes i know. I didnt realize the particles.dat was dependant on special textures until after i posted the update to the mod. In the future they will be included, but its not enough of a reason to push a new version up with a patch looming large.

Hi Ducimus,
When I get a photo recon assignment, I can not seem to complete it to the games sattisfaction. I photograph everything I can see, I even sneak rite into the port and snap everything in sight, still can not complete the assignment. This has me stumped, I have restarted the game and have a new carreer each time but as soon as I get a rece job I cannot complete it. I have gone all the way back to home port only to be told that the assignment was NOT COMPLETED.
Is there anything you could suggest??.
Very best regards,
Robert.

Hi,

I'm playing TM 1.6 for a long time and when I begun a new realistic career (I take a lot of time to understand how to get a solution fire) with a sub class Tambor I have nobody to man the deck gun even with battlestations... When I see the crew board there is no place for sailors to man this gun... If I want to use it I'm obliged to fire myself... I'm the captain not a gunner!
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks

Take care
Lopo

Lobo, this is a known issue with SHIV... I've repeatedly had the same problem - let me guess, you moved the deck gun from fore to aft or aft to fore?

This problem doesn't affect everyone, but it has affected many. The ONLY solution I know of is to edit your savegame to fix it. See post #14 of this thread.



Now that I've done my good deed, anyone have an idea about my problem (this post)? Or is it definitely NOT a TM thing and I should ask in the main forums?

Thanks,
Neuman

I beleive its a issue with the stock game. I could be mistaken, but I don't think anything ive done could cause that.

Hello again,
Can anyone help with this please??.

Thank you Neuman...

I will try but it seems to be by the hard way... it's a no easy solution for a guy like me who only knows how to use a computer. We will see...

Take care,

Hi there,
FWIW, from a newbe, I changed the deck gun from a 3.5 to a 4" but placed it at the rear deck and lost my gun crew. I re-started the game and changed to a 4" gun but left it in the orriginal place and regained my gun crew.Hope this helps!!.

For some reason I can't seem to download the full 1.6.4 mod from filefront. The page shows up normally but after clicking the download button I get redirected to the main page.

Does anyone know of a mirror site or this mod maybe?

[Reno]

Same problem...Some of File Front's links for ROW have been taken down too.

[Calbeck]

I get no link, and a search on "maru" turns up nothing related to TM. Trigger Maru 1.6.3 is still there though.

[Reno]

Yeah, I think File Front was the only game in town for the TM download.
