[cgjimeneza]

Hello Ducimus and friends

are the hula girls still in TMO.. do you have a map reference of their address and do you know if they have free next saturday....

want to do some dancing before going to area 7 and paying my respects to bungo pete.

yes, call me crazy, irresponsible etc

>>are the hula girls still in TMO

Yes. I don't normally do "fluff" items, but i did put some near/around pearl harbor. If you have your free cam active you can find them when leaving the harbor. Otherwise, theres a whole damn village of them in/near the wewak harbor area. Not marked on the map, but if you know where it is, its nice eyecandy. I should have put some ambient ukulele sounds with those damn huts.

[I'm goin' down]

Mine! Mine! Stay away from MY girlfriends.

[cgjimeneza]

yours, I´m goin´ down?? our hula girls!!! you sure?? LOL!!!

answer with the correct chorus to the following and you´ll get a date with the ugly second cousin of MyLai:


"Beautiful, beautiful Midway,
Land where the gooneybirds grow,
Beautiful, beautiful Midway,
The goddamnedest place that I know"


"Beautiful, beautiful Midway,
Land of the sand, sun and paradise,
Beautiful, beautiful Midway,
The place of warm beer, cause there ain't no ICE!

It begins with:

Land of submariners and their feats....

Just loaded up TMO 1.8 and lovin' it! Thanks Ducimus and everyone who contributed. All the sub interior enhancements are what I like the best. Finally there is a realistic number of crew in the CT at battle stations!

One bug I have found so far. When I hit "SHIFT+N" for "Report nearest warship contact" my sonar operator says "Yes Sir!" almost 50 times or so. After that he finally shuts up and says "Sweeping". Any ideas how to fix?

If you could point me to the proper files to edit I'd be happy to do it myself.

THANKS!!

I downloaded these in the order that I was suppose to. I cannot get any more views than the stock TMO.
AM I suppose to activate something to get the three levels on scopes, UZO, Binocular two levels and the Deck gun station


Thank You

Hey all, I am totally new at modding SH4. I downloaded the files I need but what do I have to do to install them? What is RSRD? Do you need to install that too? It would be nice if there was a site dedicated to SH4 mods. What do I need to know about using these mods as in, what new functions can I expect and how to implement them?

You can RSRDC here. RSRDC is a major rewrite of all campaign layers in SHIV and is a major mod in itself. Someone else shoudl be along to answer the rest of your questions.

You'll want the Generic Mod Enabler. It makes installing and removing mods easy, although you need to pay attention to the order they're enabled - the later ones may overwrite the earlier ones if they modify the same file.

For the rest of it, refer to this sticky: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=155786

The question is, how experienced are you with SH4?
Do you use auto targeting or manual targeting? If auto targeting only, you should master it and then turn to manual targeting and understand aspect ratio. There are tutorials under Rockin Robbins sticky in the SH4 main forum. Then move on to more complicated, game mods.

I play TM0 1.7-1.8 beta with one other mod -- fewer airplanes by Webster (planes drive me nuts). TMO, I not proud to say, is an ass kicker. You should probably start with individual mod fixes, or with FOTRS if you want a game revamp mod. FOTRS is a great mod, but not a difficult as TMO1.7-1.8 beta. There are lots of individual mod fixes, so you can tailor you mods and select ones that interest you.

Mods: First step is to figure out how to use JGSME. Then activate the bearing tool mod. There is sticky in the mods forum listing many of the popular mods. However, if you want to skip all of those, and are glutton for punishment, jump into TMO 1.7 to 1.8. Tell your loved ones to prepare for your funeral because it will be upon them shortly after you sail into enemy waters and encounter a Jap warship.

RSRD is a campaign mod. It stands for Run Silent Run Deep. It can be played with RFB (Real Fleet Boat), another major game mod. I am not sure if RSRC can be played separately, as I always played it with RFB, but it probably can be.

I do believe there is a version of RSRDC for "vanilla" 1.5 (no mods).

Hi, I recieved my UBoats add on yesterday.
Now having version 1.5 I decided to download TMO1.7 and the neccessary hotfix and patches. It was a shocking suprise to see how much better the game looks and runs. I would like to congratulate everyone involved in modding especially Ducimus for all the effort he has put in.
Can not wait for the final version of TMO1.8.

Everything runs smoothly except for two commands.
CRTL B (Repeat last report )and Shift N ( Nearset warship sound contact)
If I try and use these commands "Yes Sir....." is repeated about 50 times before the crew member actually shows me\tells me what i want to know.

I had a look at the Command.cfg file and these two commands are shown Below:

MnId = 0x3f26002
Key0 = 0x42,c,"CTRL B"

MnId = 0x3f26004
Key0 = 0x4e,s,"SHIFT N"

What could be causing the repeat "yes Sir!!!!! Problem?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

[Ducimus]

RE Repeating soundman on "report nearest warship contacts".

Ive replicated it, and will be working on a fix.

edit: Problem is resolved. Fix will appear in next update.

I understand which files I must download and in what order. However, is RSRD for TMO 1.7 still to be enacted after the file order below or is it no long compatible? Thank you.

1.) TriggerMaru_Overhaul_17
2.) BETA_TMO_17_to_18
3.) Beta18_Patch1_Ver6_UPC
4.) Beta18_Patch2_ver3_GfxSnd
5.) Beta18_Patch3_SubSkins
6.) Beta18_Patch4_Ver2_Dats

In answer to my own question, apparently YES, RSRD for TMO 1.7 also works just fine for TMO Beta 1.8.

[Johndb]

Thank You Very Much.
Playing TMO and Loving it.
