THE best mod

[I'm goin' down]

OM is a great mod. I had a setup with OM/OMEGU/Kiub. It takes some work to figure out manual targeting, but once solved it is a heck of an attack tool. I posted on how to maunual target in a UBoat, but I do not see the post in the threads. It is the same theory as manual targeting for American boats, but you set the dials differently.

You can supplement it with RSRDC, and use the UBoat in the Pacific Theater.

since you asked......

Up to now, I have tried various shortcuts,( i.e. just dropping the mod in w/without the camera file or dropping in the equivalent TMO files). However, all the files are interlinked so it is not a perfect fit. I next tried with Winmerge, which was also not successful.

next, I am planning to go through the files with the S3d editor, compare the changes and import them into the relevant RFB files (or copy the RFB changes into your files, which may be easier). From what I see, there are only 2 DAT and 2 SIM files to go through. I presume the DDS and TGA files in the texture folder can be used as is?

of course, if I knew what variables were changed/added in the DAT and SIM files, it would be easier......

Just the coinning tower files are changed, so NSS_Gato_CT.dat and NSS_Gato_CT.sim.

The radar is pretty much all under one node in the dat file that can all be moved together, but the TDC is a bit less tidy, but all the parts are next to each other and everything is labelled properly with what it is (which took a long time). Probably easiest to make a copy of the dat, delete all the entries you don't want and then save it as a dat with only the TDC and radar data in it and the import that into the conning tower you want and then line it all up.

The sim file is a bit more tricky, as it's not got any parent relationships to keep it all together, but again everything is labelled properly.

I think what throws people is the differences between the US and German TDCs the US one gives you visual aid with the PK dial and you have the aid of the model on the American dials which is helpful you even get the little arrows which shows you port and fore tube track.gyro angle.The US TDC is much more user friendly but of course the game does not allow you to manipulate the entire American TDC with the German one (as far I understand anyway) you have as much control as the real one allowed.

I have installed Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\MODS]

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
RSRDC_TMO_V502

Do I need also V5xx patch 1 and SH15 V550 ?

I also read: TMO is also more current since it includes Nisgeis's 3d TDC mod.
What does it means?

TMO 2.5 is the very latest TMO and among other things added the 3D TDC.

I think you need to add the RSRD patches, I haven't run RSRD for a long time. It hasn't been updated for some time so I would add the patches.

Nisgeis's 3D TDC is an excellent piece of work.
What it does is give you a very functional TDC screen. You can input your TDC data on this screen and is is much more accurate. Also adds a more functional Radar and both are fun to use, the Radar is kind o' hard to learn but it's great.
