Good to know. Actually, I was wondering a bit abt not seeing black oil on the water surface after sunk ships, only occasional flames directly on top of the water. So the black smoke mod must be the cause of that. Must try and see how it looks with the smoke mod disabled, ie. whether there'll be black oil leaks again like earlier in ROW.

Good to know also that you're working on a new better compatible smoke mod. Can't wait to have it. When do you expect it ready? Dalli-dalli!

Heya Guys,

Never had to rescue downed aviators

Running TMo/RSRDC/PE:3 and odds n sods

I have 3 maybe 4 aviators in red smoke near me, I assume normally you use binoculars and when x goes red you press space key to get them

Now in TMo/RSRDC there's no x hair on the binocs

Any ideas ????

I've tried binocs and pressing space after different lengths of time but the poor blighters are still in the water he he

Maybe someone using same main mods as me knows the crack ?

Cheers

That's from TMO. Ducimus has disabled a couple of lines in menu_1024.ini. I think he mentions how to get it back in his FAQ.

Oh and you'll be happy to know I've finished compiling the SFX for TMO and sent it to Kriller2

Heya DB,

Nice, Hopefully K2 will have your work up soon

Cheers for answer on TM

Just came across them outbound from midway so thought what the heck i see smoke i'll go save the flyboys

Will look at duci's readme (hope he don't read this he'll be pissed, you know what he's like with faq's n readme's lol)

Many Thanks

Have Fun

Yeah, and I don't exactly blame him. Poor guy is getting bombarded with questions that are answered in the very FAQ. It's only our duty, as mod users, to read it Me, being Greek, would probably end up landing a frying pan on someone's head if I was being asked the same questions again and again, which I had already provided answers for! :rotfl:

[Defiance]

Hiya's,
I had a run through the faq in TMo

No info on the menu change, Was gonna find what to change but thought ahh heck get on with some quality sh4 time lol

So alas i left the poor flyboys in the drink

Hopefully after a succesful mission my feelings of guilt will fade

Anyways, Got bro into SH4 (he has SH3) he's been over for some mods as he's not got the internet yet, Set him up for TMo/RSRDC/PE:3 and some other visuals

He's in for a fun learning curve :P

Cheers

Normal stars change to giants when I perform the "display nearest sound contact" command while not in a view that looks outside (ie: map, sonar, radar).

Note that this occurs even with [RFB] not installed.

Also, I changed 'PE3 special effect zones for NSM4' to 'special effects for stock #2' and the same thing occurs.

I love both these mods and would very much like to know whats wrong. This is my first time modding. I am using JSGME v2.01.102.

My apologies in advance if I have breached any forum etiquette, or this is the wrong spot to post this...

[Carotio]

Try disable your mods, then enable RFB first and then the ROW mods. You should get a more normal look then.

Though I admit this looks cool in an avantgarde way of fashion

[Defiance]

Hiya,

EDIT: Forgot to say Welcome Aboard Burstar


Classic thing those very large stars had them a few times last year lol

Got it yesterday he he (i know what i had done)

What i had done was removed a mod maybe 2 and shuffled a few around, Then i went onto a saved game and off i set to complete a few hours of fun, Then at night i had those

So i just loaded an earlier save from in port (office) and went out and it was fixed

Obviously if you've tried this just ignore lol

PS: As Carotio says try visual mod/s last, Rule of thumb Shove stuff like TMO/RSRDC/RFB etc 1st then visual skins then stuff like row/pe This generally works i've found (most times he he)

Maybe that may help

PS: You're not running SH4 1.5 are you ???

Not sure if RFB is 1.5 sorted yet

Ciao

Def

[Burstar]

Thanks for the welcome.

Avant garde? more like 'in yer face'

To clarify...

SHIV v1.4 on an Athlon 2200 with an ATI x2600xt and 2GB ram. OS: Vista x64

I have meticulously ruled out RFB mod. It seems to be directly related to the PE3 mods as I can repeat the event easily when it is installed alone.

Also, stars normalize the next night unless I call for a "nearest sound contact report" again. Oh, and it does occur when I'm on the bridge too...

[akdavis]

Any progress on ship reflections Kriller? (or did this prove too big a task?)

edit: nm, been gone for 5 days and just found the postings in other threads on this topic.

Here is another little oddity for ya:



After I installed all the PE patches I fired up my carreer and now my sub as the wrong conning tower paint scheme. See how I am two-tone now?

Does anyone know what I need to tweak to get back to the "blue" scheme? THANKS!

The subs conning tower reflection is a hack where Sergbuto has added the missing conning tower the devs forgot to make, so we have a nice reflection of the conning tower in the water, it will not work with skins that changes the colour.

It should have been written in the readme, but this is a huge mod and it's not so easy remembering everything when 1000 users are screaming for an update for Trigger Maru and submarines that tipping over! :rotfl:

Yep I allso have this when I press ctrl+n, the solution for that was to stop using ctrl+n (new weather) or in your case not using the nearest contact key, try use the icon and see if it happens again? - it's a very odd thing which happens because the SH4 loose track of the two textures controling the sky suddenly, when 2 custom textures are used for the sky, Daves solution was to simply include the same texture for the sky 2 times, but I found out it slows the game down to have 2 highres sky textures... :hmm:
