Good find Fincuan. Swdw originally integrated this into the game but is working long hours at the moment and can not address the issue. However, I will show this post to LukeFF and see if he can make a quick fix. I know CaptScurvy has had this issue also and would like a cure.

Default Lousy Download Speed on FileFront

Can anyone help me out. I have tried several times to download RFB from FF but I'm getting lousy download speeds (20kps) & it is failing to complete due to download timing out. I'm on broardband2+ (1500kps) so should get better DL speeds. No problem with downloading other files on FF.

For days now, I've had absolutely zero success from ff. I'd love to try this superb mod. Any chance of a second download site, such as mediafire?

That is odd, because I know I edited that file explicity for RFB. Let me do some digging and see if I can find it.

Good catch. I will edit the RFB file and roll up the S boat mod, along with the missing CrewMembers3D.upc file, into a new RFB download.

To those having problems downloading from Filefront: unfortunately I don't know the account information swdw created for megaupload.com, or else I'd have uploading the new RFB file to there as well. Please bear with us while we work this out.

So which installation order is correct? PE first or RFB first?
The reason why PE should be enabled before RFB is because RFB is using a more current version of the roll and pic mod created by swdw. Otherwise, it's just a couple of minor texture files RFB overwrites. Probably in a future release we will make sure these texture files match the current work of PE. Otherwise, you don't really lose anything by enabling RFB after PE.

Sounded promising yet it didn´t work on my machine (which is also running on an ATI GFX card). Now I get very faint icons in the submenu but the icons in the top menu are still messed up ...

Anyway, thank you for your efforts, Finucan!

BTW, great piece of work RFB-Team! Thank you for sharing this master piece with us!!!

To all:

I've uploaded a new version of RFB that rolls in a number of fixes, including one that (hopefully) fixes the menu bar. Download this new version, and replace the old version of RFB with it. You no longer need the small patch I uploaded earlier.

The menu_bar_bug still present. The Problem is the RFB_OrderBar.cfg. Please check the OrderBar.cfg. I have change the OrderBar.cfg with the OrderBar.cfg from TMO and now it works.

Not to be a pain in the a** but...
I dowloaded the new version of RFB and now all officers have ensign ranks on their collars regardless of their actual rank. CPOs don't have any rank on their collars though...
Also some officers on the deck watch now have stock hats not Captain Cox ones...:hmm:

Maybe the CrewMembers3D.upc again?

I can confirm the Hud garble with the old version. Didn't try the new. All else looks great. Love the new sounds! Great job guys!
