Default [REL] Updated to Ver.2.0 Nav Map Make-Over with Canals and Optional Airbases

Updated 5-11-2012
Patch 1 uploaded 7-7-2012

Navigation Map Make-Over Version 2.1
with Canals and Optional Airbases
By Nbjackso



NMMO Version 2.1 (Updated 5-11-2012)

The purpose of this mod is to make the Navigation Map more useful and informative than the stock version.

NMMO is a combination of several different mods plus some modifications of my own. The most obvious change is the land has much more terrain detail.


Version 2.1

-The main reason for releasing this version is because it was brought to my attention, (thanks Bubblehead1980) that the Golden Gate bridge, (2D and 3D) was missing, and the ports in Truk were not positioned correctly. Version 2.1 corrects both of these issues.

- Additional tweaking of zoom levels, again my intention is to make the map as “clean” as possible, only displaying certain information until it is needed. Added additional labels to the Nav Map, most noticeably island chains, capes and gulfs.

My overall vision for this mod is to make the navigation map a more useful tool. I hope you enjoy using it.

Optional Air Bases Add-on

The optional airbase mod will add visual icons of Japanese and Allied airbases on the Navigation Map. The airbase icon color will change throughout the course of the war depending on who occupies it at that time.

The airbase mod is included in the Optional Mods folder and must be enabled separately.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod is JSGME compatible and works with TMO, RFB (both with and without RSRDC) and stock SH4.

The Readme file in the support directory is a word document which has more detailed information with images of the changes.

Nav Map Make-Over v2.1 Patch 1

This patch fixes a few things, and adds a few things to the Nav Map Make-Over v2.1 mod. It is IMPORTANT you view the "READ ME FIRST" file prior to enabling this mod.

Hope you like it, and happy hunting

Lovely! What it is compatible with? Stock / TMO / RFB or all three?


EDIT: After reading the documentation, it seems stock only. Are you interested in making RFB and TMO compatible versions?

It should work with all mods, however it does overwrite US and Japan AirCover.mis files in RSRDC mods. Maybe lurker will check it and give some input on compatibility with RSRDC.

I play TMO + RSRDC and I have not noticed any change in the frequency of airplanes while playing with it. I like it because I can plot a course that skirts around known airbases.

I suggest you try it with whichever mods your using and report back here your findings.

I have suggested Luke to include this mod into RFB, at least parts of it. Will test with RFB_RSRDC after next patch comes out.

Since you created the mod, IMO it would be better that you compare the differences with the US and Japan AirCover.mis files in RSRDC.


EDIT: I decided to enable it anyway, and I have nothing but praises for this mod. Adds to the immersion tremendously, well for me at least.

That's funny you mentioned this, because I dissected it from an older version of RFB for SH4 1.4. since the original mod from Leovampire is no longer available.

I did not create any files. I don't know how. I don't consider myself a modder, only a file manipulator to get different mods to work together with each other, and mostly for my own enjoyment.

Let me rephrase my question then.

Which file did you 'manipulate' to activate this mod then? I am referring to US and Japan AirCover.mis files of course.

OK, I pulled the files out of RFB v1.4 mod, (which is still in the subsim download page in the mega mod section).

I did change the .dds files, (I'm pretty good at that) in the Terrain/LocationMaps directory.

The only changes I made to the US and Japan Air Cover.mis files was removing the location names (LAB/NAB/SAB) from each individual airbase. Other than that, the files are the same as the ones in the RFB v1.4 mod.

Here is the link from Leovampire's original mod if you are interested. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=118989

Thanks, that clears it.

Would you be interested in making it compatible with RSRDC v575? This way it will become compatible with all supermods out there that are compatible with RSRDC.

Having this combined with the TMO Nav Chart Overhaul would be nice.
