[REL] Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate, full release

[propbeanie]

I have it... looking now.

[Mad Mardigan]

Ahoy, team...

Got a good question..

Sargo class (USS Spearfish)started off out of manila (by now, base has side shifted to Surabaya, Java) mission objective started off, make way through smaller islands that form up on South end of Luzon.. exiting the San Bernardino passage, make way up East side of Luzon & patrol off Apari for 10 days.

Completed that, then got radio message telling Me to make way for Corregidor docks & pick up fleet personnel there & drop off at Darwin.

Here's where the question comes in..

Got to the docks, where I got completed for pick up. While there resupplied fuel & torps.

Right after that, got message stating to go to Surabaya...

So... where do I drop off the personnel that I picked up at the docks... Surabaya or Darwin..????

I got a marker that showed at the docks at Corregidor, but nothing to indicate where (if at all) I am to drop off the passengers I picked up.

Date, currently in game is.. 19/12/41 & saved just after clearing the Sulu sea area... just north of the 1 base there on the East side of Borneo, before that base there falls.

So, I have time to get a reply back to My query... Thanks.

Looked up that file, and upon inspection, located the following info...

Posting this, just to be sure:

ok....near as i can tell, you have two objectives.

1. Patrol Aparri area for 6 days
2. Pick up some stiffs back at Corregidor.

after you do that you can RTB as there is no objective for dropping the stiffs anywhere else.
take them back to Fremantle. let them see how much better it is there than Corregidor.
Say Hi to Dugout Doug for me when you stop in at Corregidor, eh.

Huh... well. that's a major let down... pick the joker's up, but not drop 'em off... so I get to lug 'em back to lessee here... Surabaya, if I recall right...

Ok, who do I report for a keel haulin'...

Though... would be nice to see of maybe.. just maybe, adding a drop off of them there, joker's... *hint, hint... propbeanie... s7rikeback...* just a suggestion, guys.

As in most situations then, things were in a bit of a rush. "Evacuate to Darwin" turned into "go to Surabaya instead". It was not known for certain where the Manila-based US subs would withdraw to. The "pickup" is the important part. Get them out of Manila. The Japanese were pushing and over-running every front. Some did go to Darwin, but were moved to Surabaya shortly after. When Surabaya falls, some boats went to Albany, but were eventually moved to Perth. Remember also, that Darwin was bombed in 2 devastating raids on February 19th, and practically the whole town was abandoned, being well within aerial range of Japanese planes on Timor. Utter chaos the first months of the war.

Conclusions, or concussions? I def have a headache... lol

Besides over-seeding the clouds, and sinking 3x the BB the entire IJN possessed, as well as twice the merchant tonnage, it looks like it gave you the SalmonSargo_02 conn just fine. It does not go beyond the assignment of the conn in any of the data files, almost like you have not attempted to go on patrol. I've been going down through all of the slots from

[UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1]

MenuSilhouetteTextureNameOverride=Gato_Class_02.tg a

... and have not found anything amiss in that yet. The last entry in the CareerTrack is

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusSave 126]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_RefitInBase
NameDisplayable=USS Spearfish (SS-190)
CurrentDate=1942-08-10 05:28:15

The top of the CareerTrack is a bit odd, in that you have no renown and no highest player rating. I think you broke it... Either that, or General MacArthur is requesting you on his staff, so that he can stab you in the back for having gotten more medals total, and more CMOHs than him... But seriously, it does look like your data set broke the game, and it is saying "that does not compute"... 'Danger Will Robinson, danger."... "Tilt. Tilt. Tilt" ... "Happy Ground Hog Day!"

Propbeanie,


I have my report. While I was on patrol in the Luzon Straits. I had a ship and destroyer spawn ahead of my course. Track it, then the ship changed coarse. The Destroyer stay on course. sunk the ship ( Kotobuki Maru 2-13-1942 19:23 Long 118 48" E. Lat 16 48" N. ) changed course to intercept the Dystroyer. The ship never closed on me. When I locked on to it, 0 nots. I used external veiw, the ship was above water with the props as dry as could be. Destroyer Kasumi Class 2-13-1942 19:41 Long 118 48" E. Lat 16 52" N.
On the next mission, I was patroling around Hong Kong. I get a notification of a fast contact. I click on it. Displays speed very fast. So a plane. I deside to shoot it down. I tc a little to bring it closer. then there are four contacts that turn into 4 grayed out sunk ship markers. I could not get accurate berings, but I got the general area. Long 113 E. Lat 21 N . I am commanding the Uss Normandy Titan class.


Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157

100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.46_EN
Nippon_Maru_v1.2.1
Titan_Normandy_FOTRS_V146
452_MoonlightzSonarLines

Also I belive I figure out how the Frigate is activated. I might be incorrect, but for the longest time I have just been patrolling east to west in my grids. I could never get the Ghost Frigate to appear. No matter how long I patroled in the Luzon Straits. Then I remebered your map. I thought what if I did my grid North and south. I then got a contact. This was not like in the stock game, 27 knots and labeled what's this?. So I thought it to be a slow moving ship. When I periscope it, the Ghost Frigate is what I saw. I like you named it and slowed it down. Easier to see the Ghosts on board. I was driving myself crazy trying to get it to appear. The only time before was almost a year ago.
Thanks to all of you I really enjoy this mod. Popbeanie, so far so good. I believe the trouble I had was due to my not editing correctly the flotlla.upc file. opps lol


Thank you

i zeroed out the renown after each mission because i wanted to see how mission-points-renown was translated into career-points-renown (reference our PM conversation).
THAT should not have interfered with the acceptance of a new conning tower and then starting the next mission.

i agree with your conclusion that something broke the game just not sure what.

i have started a new career with the same boat at approximately the same time frame as when this career broke.
however, i think that i have to play all of 1942 and 1943 before the next generation conning tower is available for installation.

time to press on.

thank you for looking at the data.

[propbeanie]

1943-01-01 is the 03's first date availability..

well, it happened again, CTD on the clicking of the map to start a mission, and nearly the same conditions.
Sargo, August 1942. Brisbane as a base which is different.
Career started July 1, 1942 so the CTD occurred at the start of Mission 3.

PlayerCurrentObjectiveCode=Philippines
PlayerDefaultObjectives=ID156
PlayerCurrentObjectives=ID397
PatrolStartDateTime=1942-09-26 01:28:48

The MedWar Conning Tower was included in the career build and not an update, which is different.
not sure which way to go.

[propbeanie]

You could try

InsertPhil.7z

though I doubt it will make a difference. There are 4 PatrolObjectives there for Insert in the Philippines, but all that does is make the mission numbers match the text of the assets in the mission files, and moves number 5 to Panay.

In your case KM, ID397 is Insert Commandoes 04 for Palawan, and while the tsr has text for an old Objective as well as the new one, that should not have mattered here. I don't understand how you have a Sargo at Brisbane, unless you transferred in, nor why you have a "Sink Bismarck Sea" as your default objective though, so there is still something off in the Save files, which is the most likely culprit.

yes, i came to this same conclusion.
so i reset everything FOTRSU.

BTW, one can start a career Mid-1942 with a Sargo out of Fremantle and immediately transfer to Brisbane before their first mission.
Perfectly legal and according to Hoyle, er, ah, i mean according to the FOTRSU Mod Team.
