High praise, indeed. We all thank you for those kind words, Jack.

That's max-peck's good work, and I vote a resounding "YES! please incorporate it." He added-in TMO style circles for the patrol area, and more descriptive text if needed. I'm not sure if he finished all of them, but I've found two of his edits in-game now, and I ~really~ like what he did. Now, if cdrsubron7 and I can do half as good with the SubHunters and some smaller edits to the other groups... Wow! It'll be really nice.

Do not forget to add
FOTRSU 0.26 Cat Ship Roster Fix

It is on the top level of the Area 51 Drive

Please apply after Capn Scurvy's work, it fixes a roster file discrepancy between the Capn's scout plane work, and my skinning work

Ohhh... almost forgot to ask: Do you CTD folks see ALL the ships we have in the Mission Editor? Seems to me that we're short some of the Merchants in the catalog, but I'm not sure - I still haven't printed me out the list... I'm mostly using "GENERIC..." for the different classes at this time anyway, so that we don't have to worry too much about having a ship missing later, but there are a few things that you want a specific ship(s) for specific reason(s)...

That is my re write of all the patrol objectives, to make them read better

Remember the AOTD crew - English was not their first language, so the patrol objectives in FOTRS are in broken English

I re wrote them to read better , plus also when you get a patrol objective, it should now draw a circle around the patrol area on the nav map for you.

I totally stole this from TMO 2.5

Entirely happy to have this as part of the core, or as an optional plugin

No my friend - being in Law Enforcement you are the one we should be thanking

Many thanks for your kind words.

Roger Doger! We'll get that in. Also Jeff-Groves' F01 to FLG Flag Fix is MIA and I definitely want to incorporate that.

Cdrsubron7 I can't find your screenshot anywhere! Can't have v0.26 without the sub surfacing title page! I checked my PMs and it isn't there.

Update:
Okay, changelog for FOTRSU v.26 Beta EN:

• Entered JP Old Medium Tanker, JP Medium Cooler and JP Heavyloadfreighter to Roster folder.
• FOTRSU v.26 Beta Update applied
• AFB_p38j_shp.dss removed (duplicate with upper case P)
• FOTRSU 0.26 Cat Ship Roster Fix
• FOTRSU Patrol Objectives Overhaul

Still waiting on surfacing submarine load screen from cdrsubron7 and Jeff-Groves' F01 to FLG Flag Fix. Unless someone has something to add that will become FOTRS Ultimate v.026 Beta EN.

Edit: F01 to FLG Flag Fix located!

I sent him the image in DDS format about 10 minutes ago
I reckon he is on the case COB

[Jeff-Groves]

Did you get the Bismark and Nelson?

Flag fix going up now.

[s7rikeback]

<<<Museum mode only>>>

I'm unable to get v0.25 or v0.26 to run unless i delete the sea folder and roster > sea folder > in each version... I try to run..

So basically I can only view the aircraft.

I'm unable to check any mods i do, as i cannot view the end result......
Don't know how to use the ME or how it works yet...

I have tried the basic release mods with and without including flags mod from Jeff-Groves...

All previous created mods which were working - are now crash during museum loading.
Reg-cleaned all sH4 directory and keywords from registry.
I have rebuilt my SH4 Folders from scratch. DVD v 1.5.
Re-installed all Directx files.
Made all SH4 folder readable.

I've hit a brick wall somehow, and i'm at a loss at where to go next?!?!

I forgot to mention to max that the resolution needed to be changed to 1024x512. As soon as he can do that and send it back to me so I can check and make sure it works, I'll upload it to Area 51 Plugin Folder.
