[REL] Fifi Compilation for OM+OMEGU

[Fifi]

First i want to thanks mister Lurker for the awesome work he did with Operation Monsun. Incredible one guy result!
Operation Monsun gives a really nice alternative life to SH3/SH5 U-Boats warfare.
To me, i can even say it’s kind of getting the best of both worlds.
Then, thanks to Karamazovnew for his periscopes/TDC stations, just essential to get the right feeling of a German sub!

But few things were missing (at least to me) to make this mod almost perfect.
Radio messages covering the whole war were missing, lifeboats were not spawning at all, opening torpedo tubes for salvo was a pain, no option to follow closest warship with hydro man for the most important...

So decided to enhance OM+OMEGU for myself, but without breaking the original awesome campaign!
I’m by no means a skilled modder like others can be here, but i managed to compile the best OM mods around to my taste.
As said at first it was for personal use only...but finally why not share it?
So here it is, It’s adding the little immersion touch that was missing me.
I didn’t touch any of the campaign files (except the radio messages one) nor any environment and sensors files to avoid gameplay issues.
Credits are to be deserved to all moders involved in the mods i only compiled, and for some i adaptated from SH3.

Enhancements of this compilation:

- New sounds from SH3, mainly from Thomsen fantastic sound mod, but others too.
- New command keys mainly from OM SH3 Command Keys mod.
- Nav Map color, new icons smaller, German additional location text.
- Better U-Boat dynamics.
- Watch Officer now tells the distance to target.
- New HUD order bar with more fonctions.
- Bigger stop watch.
- New mission loading screen and new game loading screen.
- New captain room - Europe perspective.
- Better protractors mod added.
- Gramophone songs added.
- Better rocks.
- New radio messages all along the career from WAC5, edited to match OM career.
- Smaller mission stars.
- Hydro/radio room access by clicking in command room.
- Torpedo damage slightly reduced (not very noticeable - can be easily deleted if wanted).
- Lifeboats imported from WAC5 now spawning at each kill.
- Opening of any torpedo tube without automatically close the previous one. Now opening of all torpedoes tubes for any salvo available.
- Hydro man « Follow nearest warship » and « Normal Sweep » orders added.
- Complete hydro man voice sound sequence announcement is now playing.
- Navigator « maximum range at current speed » order added.
- Weather icon changed from Chief to Watch officer order bar.
- New Help F1 menu with right shortcuts and Ennemies of Germany added.

You need first to download and install all the OM and OMEGU mods, plus the Magnified HUD Dials for OM+OMEGU_Medium

Installation that works best with this compilation (tested):

OpsMonsun_V705
OMv705_to_V720
OMv720_Patch5
OMEGU_v300
OMEGU_v300_Patch7
KiUB_English (can be find inside OMEGU_v300)
Magnified Hud Dials for OM+OMEGU_Medium
Fifi Compilation for OM+OMEGU
Fifi Compilation_Update_8
Warm_Clothes_Mod
Weather_Change_Mod

NOTE:
Only KiUB_English should not be overwritten.
You still can activate Harder Escort L1/L2 on top of all.

DO NOT FORGET:
- Uncheck your read only in your SH4.exe properties
- Make your SH4.exe in VISTA compatibility properties
- Same VISTA compatibility for JSGME
- Always check each mod path —> Mod name/Data
- Always install appropriate LAA (Large Adress Aware) application linked to your SH4.exe, to allow more RAM memory to your system

THE MORE YOU PLAY HIGH TC, THE LESS YOU’LL HAVE WEATHER CHANGES...BEST IS TO PLAY X256 FOR WEATHER CHANGE EACH 36H OR SO!

About this mod:
- I’m almost satisfied with the sounds now playing. But there are still some issues with few of them, that i can’t fix unfortunately (order bar icons not playing any sound only in career mode, and watch officer not saying « ship is spotted » in some sub type). But text is always here fortunately. When new ship is spotted, even though you’ll not hear the watchman warning on some subs, the pop-up window will appear anyway to warn you.
Deck gun and AA guns are my favorites too (not from Thomsen).
Bad weather sounds are from FOTRSU, also my favorites.
Surfacing sequence is from DBSM, and works best from periscope depth.
- Better U-Boat dynamics is from U-Boat Dynamics v1.1 for SH4 OM, created by G7eT2. It reduces the U-Boat acceleration (still faster than real U-Boat), increase diving rates from surface to periscope depth (crash dives remain similar to OM figures), adjusts submerged ranges and battery recharge times to better values, adjusts turning circles of sub, increases crush depths, applies the stock game’s « destruction over time » model to the U-Boat when it exceeds crush depth. I like this mod mainly because i found stock OM diving times to periscope depth way too long. Roughly changing from stock OM 1 minute 45 to about 1 minute now.
- you can now lie down your sub on sea floor, slowly at 0 knots without damage...
- Best is to play no more than X1024 for weather changing purpose. Higher than TCX1024 the weather can be stuck quite long on same layer.
- Q is opening tube (s), W is closing tube (s), Y is toggle tubes. Select a salvo, and with Q it’s opening all salvo tubes engaged.
- Of course you must start new campaign on new fresh SH4 install with new Documents/SH4 folder created by launching game at first time.
- Best is to adjust your settings in Documents/SH4/Data/Cfg/main as:
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=128
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=128;1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=128
CharacterAnim=64
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=1
Particles=64
PrayState=256
HunterState=256
3DRender=1024
Maximum=1024
- If you don’t like the new U-Boat dynamics and return to stock OM one (wich i don’t think) simply delete the Submarine folder, and both CrewMembers.upc and SpecialAbilities.upc in UPCDataGE/UPCCrewData folders.
- If you don’t like the torpedoes damages slightly decreased, and return to stock OM one, simply delete the Torpedo.zon file in Library.
- And last, i didn’t tested it through the whole war from day one to the end, but of what was tested, there are no reasons it could bring any issue in the campaign flow.

IF YOU HAVE THE TURM UPGRADE ISSUE (from SKIDMAN):
« Both the Typ VII and the Typ IX U-Boat will receive conning tower upgrades as the game proceeds. Every time I was awarded a new "Turm", the result was a submarine that could not move forward, or backward. A "Cannot comply" message was displayed instead. The crew screen showed missing and empty slots. This bug has been experienced and described before, and -as lurker put it- it is a nasty one. So from my experience a conning tower upgrade means end of your career. This is not acceptable.

How can you continue? Well, there is a workaround: You have to create a dummy file.

1.) Open your saved games folder (SH4/data/cfg/SavedGames), locate the folder that contains the autosave_on_leaving_base-file using the file creation date and time and make a backup copy.

2.) Fire up SH4 and start a new career. Choose date, type of boat and flotilla to match the state of your career as close as possible. Start a new mission. Save the game.

3.) From the new folder (the one you just created in the saved games folder when you saved the dummy game ) you will need the ActiveUserPlayerUnits-file. Copy it to the desktop and open the copied file using a text editor (i.e. wordpad)

4.) Open the ActiveUserPlayerUnits-file from the autosave_on_leaving_base-folder (Step 1) with your text editor

5.) In the AUPU-File from the dummy locate:


[UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 1. CrewMemberSlot 1]

copy this line and the following lines till

[UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1.UnitPart . UpgradePackSlot 1]

near the end of the document.

6.) Replace the lines (Step5) with the content of the clipboard in the AUPU-File from the autosave_on_leaving_base-folder. Save the file.

7.) Copy the manipulated file to the UPCINitial Folder of the autosave_on_leaving_base-folder.

8.) Fire up SH4, choose "Load Game", open the autosave_on_leaving_base-File and play on. Your rank, medals, tons sunk and crew will be preserved and your boat will have the new conning tower.

Sounds complicated, but OM forces you to go through this again and again and practice makes perfect »

Hi Fifi
Let me the first to congratulate you on bringing this German based compilation to SH4.
I have only played SH4 on the American side as I use SH3 and SH5 for the German campaigns.
OM has built up a reputation of a cult following over the years and I am sure your mega mod will be warmly appreciated.
Downloading now.

Peter

[Fifi]

Corrected 2 things...the missing ID ship icon in order bar, and the ships length not displaying correctly in ID manual.

Sorry for the inconvenience

New download link available in post 1

[Niume]

Fifi could you upload U boat skins from WAC to sh4? IN KSD II there is already.

[Fifi]

Not in my plans for the moment, but could be a good idea

[Niume]

KSD has a lot of cool features that would be cool if it be implemented in OM

OM+OMEGU Compilation Set Of Mods For SH4 By Fifi

Includes Download Links and Full Instructions

Peter

[Fifi]

Next release will have some more fixes and improvements...like smoke

Original OM+OMEGU smoke:



With my improvement:



From further:



I think it's a lot better

[Niume]

Fully agree. You are making OM better each step.
I Just want to say DON"T STOP!!!

[Sailor Steve]

One of the things I've wanted to see is an accurate crew numbering. The last time I looked the Type II u-boat has the same 47 crew as the Type VII, when they should have 25-28 depending on the model.

Also, I know it's not part of Fifi's plan, but I've always hated the lack of modding SH4 has received compared to SH3. I drives me crazy that the Kiel Canal still looks like a big river - no locks, no working gates, pretty much no towns or anything else. Now that some people are starting to look at SH4 again I would love to see some of those details.

[Fifi]

I totally agree with what you’ve said
I wish i had better skills in modding, my limitations drives me mad sometimes
I often spend a whole day trying something, while a talented modder would do it in roughly an hour...

I have absolutely no idea how to import towns, villages, houses or even trees in SH4 from let say SH3 for instance.
I don’t even know what files are implied on that.
10Gb of files to look at, are quite huge

EXACTLY!!!



your comments are very weird in that i have been PM-ing with s7rikeback and propbeanie on this very subject for a while. i guess i created a disturbance in the force...and for that i am truly sorry.

for example, look at the Type 2B.
compartment 1 is the engine room. the boat asks for 3 leaders and 3 crew. in crewmembers.upc there are 13 engine room crew...CPO, enlisted, and non-rated. when you create a boat, six crew are assigned. how are the six of thirteen chosen?
here is a trickier one. compartment 2 is the command area. the boat asks for 3 leaders and 6 crew. crewmembers.upc has 12 command crew to choose from. when you create a boat only six positions are filled leaving three unfilled. what is up with that? how/why are only six of twelve chosen and why leave three billets unfilled?
i've been pondering these issues for a while now...not only on the ATO/OpM side but also the fleet boat side.

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

I am glad that this mod is on the track of corrective because there is a lot to do!
Thank you Fifi for your work it turns out that it was installed on my becanne so I already install your patch the least I can say it is much better ... but there is much to see again ....
-The smoking exhaust is too shy ...
-The water spray that just is not good ...
