Thanks a lot

Lopo

Lopo, I'm sorry, I do not know if it will or won't. I've been busy with RFB and just haven't had the time to check out TMO. Last I looked, the TMO was still in a beta form which means changes could still be made before a finished product appeares. So I've not been too quick to check it out. I will though soon.

Thank you for yor answer... and don't be sorry. I have just believed that the last release of TMO wasn't a beta form. I'm confused...

That's true, TMO is out of beta and released. I'm sure CapnScurvy will take a look at it as soon as his schedule allows him
BTW, I ran across a "side-effect" of MaxOptics: I think I can actually see the molecular composition of the stains on my periscope lens! :rotfl: I think I've gotten too used to the clean-as-a-whistle textures I've been using lately and forgotten that, just a while ago, I was using the "dirty-as-hell" masks from betterscopes.

You're right...:rotfl:

I have just added the latest edition of SCAF 1.2 to the FileFront site. This edition is compatible to Trigger Maru Overhauled and includes several adjustments and changes to the past SCAF editions. Several ingame stations such as the Binocular, Deckgun, or TBT have been enhanced to appear "weathered" thanks to the original fine work by Captain Cox. The view of the attack and observation periscopes have been inlarger and magnified with the optional installation of the Maxoptics2 mod, included in the download. Credit to WernerSobe for his original work.
Various guages and dials were lighten or reworked to increase readability, thanks to OakGrove for his fine work. The Recognition Manual was reworked to match the TMO periscope station.

Several ship funnel or structure heights were tweaked to match the calibrated correct range to target for manual range finding. I highly recommend the use of the Maxpotics2 mod for increasing the view of the target ship for greater accuracy in manually finding range and ship identification.

I will finish my testing on the RSRDC P3 version for TMO soon and have it available as time allows.

The link to the SCAF 1.2 for TMO can be found at the first post of this thread.

Best regards

Thanks for continuing work on the RSRDC P3 version for TMO!

[Lopo]

Thank you very much Sir!
I'm downloading it now!

Any more plans for adapting one of the ROW-camera's into a SCAF-version?
We had a little discussion about it on page6 of this topic.

(note: there seems to be a problem with ROW-cameras + the Uboat-addon...see here)

[CapnScurvy]

Paajtor, I've been thinking about you (ok, not like it sounds!!!!). I was thinking if you're using TMO or RFB, those mods (I believe) already have the ROW camera feature rolled into it. So adding the feature may be redundant. I know RFB is planning a new release soon and I've got the Maxoptics2 mod ready for it. I'm not sure if swdw will have it as an optional install, bundled with the new RFB or not. We will see.

As far as Trigger Maru Overhauled is concerned I've got the Maxoptics2 bundled with the "SCAF1.2 for TMO" as an optional install. I just released it yesterday.

If your looking for a stock SH4 version to use with the ROW Camera.dat version 1.a or 2.b just wait a bit, like an hour or less, I'll put them on Filefront with a link to the site at the first post of this topic. I've got them, just haven't uploaded them yet. BUT please remember to install the right edition for the correct mod(s) that you follow.

Rgr that...probably the best thing to do right now.
I mean, it looks like one moment you come up with some updated version, so suit another mod that just got updated...and when your update is released, it's almost outdated, so fast things change right now.

Oh, and nope...won't play stock SH4, just to get a ROW-camera...but thx for the offer.

Paajtor, if it wern't for the stuff between my ears, I could hear better. They would probably fall off the side of my head anyway. You wanted a Maxoptics2 version to work with RFB 1.4 rc1. Here it is:

http://files.filefront.com/Maxoptics.../fileinfo.html

As I said, I have one for the latest RFB rc2 version when it's released by swdw, comming soon.

[Paajtor]

OMG, you work fast, Sir!

Hey, one thing is not clear to me: I went to your FF-account overview, and saw 3 Maxoptics uploaded today:

1 - the one you linked to above, being Maxoptics2_for_SCAF_and_RFB.rar
2 - Maxoptics2_ROW_Camera_vs_1a.rar
3 - Maxoptics2_ROW_Camera_vs2b.rar

I downloaded #1 and 2.

We spoke about a particular ROW-camera not working with that older Maxoptics, but then you said that a ROW-camera is probably already included by one of the big mods I have installed.
So I will disable my ROWcamera_1a mod, and verify whether a ROW-cam is still present...and then try both downloads.

Be back soon.

[Paajtor]

Maxoptics2_ROW_Camera_vs_1a.rar is the one I have to use.
I first had to disable the "stock" ROW-camera (the version I installed with all the other ROW-parts).

(Maxoptics2_for_SCAF_and_RFB.rar doesn't work....well, the maxed zoom works...but I loose the ROW-camera)

A big thank you!

Your welcome.

As I indicated, I'm not at all sure what parts either Trigger Maru or Real Fleet Boat uses of the ROW Camera mods. Their's could easily be some sort of a hybrid cross between what Leo but forth and what the other modders finally released. The best I could do is take what they gave me and added the magnified Maxoptics to it for compatibility.

See you under the sea.
