Sound contacts while surfaced

The modders are working in all sorts of goodies and testing is taking place in the back field.

Anyway, I will not tell you what they have done to rectify the all hearing, hearing aid but the after math of what was done forces you to slow down so it you can hear while surfaced. It is not the perfect solution but IMHO feel it is the best solution with what the modders had to work with concerning the sonar while surfaced.

LukeFF is on the case concerning the sonar!

Stay tuned

Thanks AVG!
By the way, what do you use/prefer, TM or RFB?

Theres a "team working on RFB now instead of just one person?

Sweet!

I hope they ratchet up the bar, so people will go use RFB instead of TM, so im no longer inundated with questions every time i visit the forum. Obscurity, how i long for thee!

edit:
psst, AVG uses RFB i think. Kind of a hint!
Subliminal message. "real fleet boat, you know you want it!"

Yes, there is a team going at it. Contains a lot of new things and some great ideas they are working on now. Definitely working on making it as historical as possible and what the game will allow. I say no more as this is their show and I just test or locate information on things for them

Glad i retired from TM then. "teams" are inheirantly compedative, and i just dont want to go down that busy street again. Ill just give them lip service, and get the hell out of the way instead. :rotfl:

This is very different here Duci. Lurkers RSRD is made to order. The Dave's ROW is made to order. Very much part of the larger mod package. RFB is concentrating on historical accuracy of the subs, weapons and abilities. What bases and when. What sub was available and what type of equipment for the given year. Squish it all together and super mod made to order.

No no dont get me wrong, im acutally very happy about a formal team now. The thing is, i never WANTED, nor MEANT TO create a "supermod". My aim was much lower on the totem pole, to get the game playable.

I think i stuck with it so long, partially out of a sense of finishing what i started, partially from the lack of any team banding together to stand up and kick it up a few notchs.

The ball just kind of bounced how it did, and here i sit with TMaru 1.7.5, and the honest truth is, its become way too much for one person to handle. There are so many little details, so many areas to futher polish, i can't possibly keep track of everything. A team is a neccessity in this regard.

At its core, Tmaru is still Sh4 flavored to taste, and i think its served its purpose. Way i see it, my time is over, and theirs is just starting! My only pain, is that i know eventaully, a team effort will produce a much better, more detailed modpack then i could provide, and my efforts will eventually fall to the side and be a memory a few years hence, and im fine with that.

Truthfully ive been waiting for this bit of news for a long time now. Two thumbs up to the RFB team!

Hi Ducimus,

You sound a bit "bitter" about your own mod and i can understand why.
It's probably been a huge work (most of us will never know how many hours of work and sweat you have been trough to give us this mod) and we are very thankfull for it!
I think it is indeed to much work for one person, maybe your mod ran out of hand for you alone...
Anyway, what i want to say is: i hope you have a positive feeling at the end, despite of all the hard work and the many questions and reactions it returns because you have given SH4 a totally new dimension and made it a better game!

Thanks and best regards,

I use RFB. Duci was out of the gate first and getting rave review with TM and still is. Beery started RFB and moved on to something else. SWDW approached Beery and asked to pick up were he left off. He got the go ahead. In the spirit of supporting a new member and continuation of modding SH4, I loaded up RFB and have been using it since then. More modders the merrier! All in all, both are great and strive for two different types of play. Makes players happy to have a choice also.
