Great work in all respects. Although many of the ship models from the game are quite good, the lack of correct weaponry (especially on ships like battleships & cruisers) annoys me.
I am also pleased with the visibility improvement; I love TMO but I had suspected that it took too long for islands to become visible. It looks like my gut feeling was right. By the way, any chance that the camouflage for US Navy ships will be corrected? I believe the developers were trying to reproduce Measure 32 (seen below) with the skins for stock ships - however, this was not used until 1944 IIRC. It's always been jarring to see Measure 32-painted battleships, for example, when I'm playing in 1942 or 1943. Keep up the great work!

AVGWarHawk!! Good to hear from you my friend
We go a long way back when SWDW was asking for our help in resurrecting Real Fleet Boat. =========== iambecomelife, good to hear from you too! Your efforts within "Wolves of the Kaiser" show your perseverance to detail outmatched by any of us!! You're right about the stock ships not having their sensors or armament intact. I ran across this when putting a Jap CV in front of me during a test mission. 1000 yards away, I could surface with no reaction from the carrier except for finally getting planes from the carrier to attack some time later. The carrier had no gun armament at all. That's a good point about the ship paint schemes. I'm pretty sure that can be corrected. I'm also going to look into changing the planes roundels and paint schemes for pre war activity (since I plan to offer an early November 1941 start from Groton Conn.). My plan is to have a new recruit leave New London, taking a sub to Pearl on a "shake down" cruise. Stops in New York, Panama Canal, San Fransisco.

That would be awesome! Just an FYI for some reason SH4 has the problem of not taking into account transfers until the second patrol from the new base. If you could find a way to fix that so whenever I do something like TMO's New Construction start I don't have my first mission from Pearl ask me to do training of the Cali coast that'd be nice.

This mod looks cool. I was wondering if for the career start if you sub is in Pearl you can be there during the attack? Or would this be too difficult to do?

I'm planning on making the New London "base" time frame as short as possible, making your new base, Pearl, in-route. It won't be a transfer, but a permanent base reassignment (like the other base changes). ================ Quote:

Not to keen on modding but try to follow along with the thread reading,
I remember reading something Ducimus wrote about (ripping the guts out of vanilla sh4) removing the unwanted fluff that was taking up disk space. Is this also what Lurker did in RSRDC to gain more mb or gigs? |

Believe me, I've thought more than once about how to remove all of the German side of things within SH4!! Sorry U-Boat's......stay in the Atlantic!!
But the mess within the menu_1024_768.ini file would be more than anyone should handle.

Therefore, if you are foolish enough to run all night submerged and surface at dusk to seek battle, your motors will run ahead emergency, all four of them, until the battery is charged regardless of what your throttle setting is. Your sub will drink fuel like a ten year-old at the county fair drinks Coca-Cola. You have no ability to put 1 and 2 on propulsion, 3 and 4 on recharging. And all recharging is done on full ahead emergency throttle. No changes are possible without hacking. And we're not going to hack. Also, it looks like you can set the TDC for 4½ knots target speed, but that's a lie. It is settable only in full knot increments no matter where the pointer is pointing! All degrees are whole degrees too. Hard coded. No changes possible. No matter what, realism is not on the menu. And if we emphasize some realistic aspects, that is at the cost of losing others. It always amuses me to see someone lamenting "unrealistic" water color. There is no realistic water color. I've seen people threaten to quit the game because Zeros are carrying bombs. They didn't do that in the war, you know. When I spot an enemy plane on the radar, I'm not waiting to identify it and grouse about whether it's the right plane or not, I'm diving before he sees me, staying down until he can't and I can't see him, then surfacing. I really don't care if it's Dumbo the Elephant up there, I have to allow that it could be a bad guy carrying loud booms. And I'll never see him anyway.

I really wish h.sie started looking into SH4 and made a hardcoded fixes for it. He cracked SH3's code and since SH4 is built on the SH3 engine it should be easier to figure out.

It's not that the .exe files aren't modifiable. It's that we chose not to because they are Ubi's property and messing with them is hacking, not modding.
