[REL] Razzle Dazzle

[Ludwig van Hursh]

Why is that water so blue.

[Rockin Robbins]

Smashing success, I say. I executed my classic Dick O'Kane technique from 500 yards on an obliging and nicely painted merchie.

But first, the JSGME tromped on report:
It changed only the .dds files for each ship type, exactly what we would expect. Since the source of those .dds files in my case was the GFO mod, it gave a couple dozen warnings and those were not a problem. I mashed the accept button with relish and pressed on!

We'll skip the boring setup part. There she was, so close she couldn't help but see my periscope, raised by a captain who couldn't bear to hear booms without seeing stuff flying all over and fire--he's a sadistic chap you know.... Look! He's firing us a salute! Too bad it's much too late for him...

Snazzy paint job he has there, courtesy of this mod I'm testing!



We'll back off and see the whole thing just as she explodes.


What a great paint job she has! Too bad it's all being blown to bits. But wait! Something is wrong with this picture. She's well past the boom point. What's up??? Check the f6 screen! Curses! There are all three torpedoes stopped dead in the water 400 yards out. Not one even ran as far as 500 yards! 1942 sucks! Curse you Webster! Curse you!

I want to make it clear that this mod isn't just reskinning four ships. It's pretty extensive:







This is a VERY ambitious mod, reskinning all or nearly all the Japanese merchant ships of the game! Great job I say.

That is what the TMO 2.5 environment looks like.
If you are not playing TMO, your ocean will not look anything like my screenies

max,

you wrote that you tested it with tmo 2.5, but now released the non tmo version only. Is that correct, or are the versions identically?

best regards

Hi Benti

I was testing the TMO version on my machine, and the guys that were helping me were testing the non TMO version in GFO, RFB and stock.

You can use this release in a TMO install.
It will not break your game.
All that will happen is you will be missing new skins on 2 ships that appear in the Japanese TMO Roster, but not in GFO, RFB or stock.

I am at work now, so cannot talk much
When I get home tonight I will take a look and see if my TMO version on my PC is in a release state.

But you can go ahead and use the Non TMO version if you want

To Admins

I have tried to change the thread title to [REL] Razzle Dazzle, but I cannot seem to get it to change
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Does an admin have to change the title for me?
