Is it possible to use this outside of Operation Monsun, back in the Indian ocean area?
Is there a stand-alone download anywhere that I'm missing? After playing with this thing for a couple of hours, I can't imagine playing a U-boat now without it, but there are aspects of Monsun that I could do without. I assume it's not compatible with Trigger Maru? Sorry, one question became a few. |

But you can import the mod in TMO yourself all you'll need from OMEGU are: - the Karamazov folder that includes all the new images - the G26 Page from the menu1024_768.ini file - all the new dials (all start with "Karamazov") from the dials.cfg file. - the American\Gui\Layout and German\Gui\Layout folders. I've done this once to test it but as soon as I tried to use the AOBF without knowing the correct mast and length, I couldn't hit ****. What don't you like about OM? You can play in the pacific without any problems. And you can switch fast from OM and TMO with JSGME |

I was struggling to get my head around the contacts not having any indication of speed, but just a compass heading. I got used to working out quite accurate interceptions based on them. Since I posted last night, I've made peace with the idea somewhat and I'm learning to work with it. Besides which, lets face it, every other aspect of OM is very impressive. I'll be sticking with OM I think, so I'm all good. My only concern now is that after OM and your AoBF, SH5 won't have half as much content and I won't want to play it. We'll see I guess. Thanks for the AoBF mate. It's great. |

Danse, thanks for the kind words
Kurtz, are you saying that the salvo selector for the Type 7 has wrong labels? The selector itself can't be bugged so maybe there's a problem with the image file used as a background. I can't test the game from this computer, I'll look into this next week. In the meantime, you can find the dial plate here: Data\Menu\Karamazov\Torp_parts3.tga. The salvo selector for the Type 7 is the one in the lower right corner of the image. EDIT: Ok, now I see, they're clearly different. Weird, I've never seen that configuration of salvo before. When I get home I'll do a bit more testing and post a fix. To be honest I never use salvos but that's not an excuse to leave such a bug. Anyway, you can trust the torpedo light bulbs, they're ok. |

karamazov,
I don't know how you did solve the matter in your mod, but in SH3 I was unable to have the game display correctly the encoded numbers of salvo dials of the attack map when adding a salvo dial to another screen. So what I did for my own mod was create a graphic with the salvoes for the Type XXIII, one for the II, one for the VII and another for the IX, and then I tied that graphic to appear: Type XXIII attached to tube II bulb Type II attached to tube III bulb Type VII attached to tube V bulb Type IX attached to tube VI bulb That way, since the Type XXIII only has two tubes, the other dial plates would display over it, but as soon as new tubes appear, the new dial plates are superimposed over the previous one, always displaying the correct salvo patterns for each sub class. Will not work for the Type XXI, though, as it has 6 tubes like the Type IX but different salvo patterns. Just in case it gives you an idea

Thank you Have fun playing, don't forget to read the manual(s) Quote:
Up-Left: Type IX single Down-Left: Type IX salvo Up-Right: Type VII single Down-Left: Type VII salvo. I'll also make an english labels version for those who don't like the german ones. I'll send it all to Lurker so keep an eye on his OMEGU thread |

Done, and I'm sorry it took so much time.
1. Salvo Selector fixed for the Type VII, thanks Kurtz for pointing that out 2. Added the missing Straight Leg dial label (Laufstrecke, hope I've spelled that right) 3. Added a red ring around the stadimeter button when the target is locked. Note that there is no Lock Button in this interface, you'll still have to use the L key when the periscope is on a ship to see this effect. 4. At request, I also made optional English labels (see pic) All files were sent to Lurker a minute ago so expect to see these features in his next Omegu patch. Cheers |

Is this a Standalone mod or do I have to install other mods first ?
btw I have SH4 1.5 UBM installed without mods. |

And to avoid any confusion, this is the required order of install: OpsMonsun_V705 OMv705_to_V720 OMv720_Patch1 OMEGU_v300 OMEGU_v300_Patch4 OM_SH3_Command_Keys (this one's optional) The fix I've just made will be included in Patch 5 by Lurker so keep an eye on the OMEGU thread. Note that his patches inlcude all previous fixes so you won't need Patch 4 when patch 5 is out. |
