I have put some thought into making a OM/ATO version of NMMO. I've done some experiments to see if it is doable, and I think I could probably come up with something. I'm also wondering if there are enough people out there still playing SH4 w/OM/OMEGU to make it worthwhile. I will monitor this thread to see if any interest is generated.

Drakkhen20 - I imported the toolbar from I think TMO on my personnal install and it helps a bit. I might release it if I can remember what I did and if it's ok with Ducimus or whoever made it originally. Like I said I also want to tweak my rec manual mod, I think the red background on it is still too light. Were you talking about some other lights specifically?

That would be great Nbjackso. I'm using your navmap mod with RFB on the pacific side and I love it. Let's see what happens.

around the scope. the background, the periscope itself doesnt reflect red its just a regular white light.

I've added a few specific encounters to the campaign from U-47's career and have a few custom charts and am adding the engine room to the VII, but I don't feel OM screams for much improvement. It's pretty freekin awesome as-is tho a bit more comms from fellow u-boats would be cool.

I'd like to see the immersive details, like the harbors and bridges from LSH3 and all the different ships, especially IABL's merchant fleet. I would also like to see something akin to SH3 Commander.

Just my personal wish-list.

It would be great if h.sie could spare some time on sh4.exe. He's done wonders to SH3.
Maybe he could fix the underwater ranges, battery recharge time and the O2 consumption.

This is my wish-list.

I've been experimenting with some 'hacks' to SH3 Commander to see if it can be 'persuaded' to work with SH4 and SH5.
It's not a top priority with me but I'm messing with it which should get me in enuff trouble.

I would like to see some improvements to the unit roster. The way it stands now it's impressive, but causes Museum to crash. There are also quite a few of my old merchant ships that just don't look very good.

My personal beef with SH4 (not just OM) is weather. SH4 being initially designed for the Pacific, weather stays rather good everywhere, Atlantic included. The most frequent weather here is clear sky and 15m waves, with very few rainy days. And to sail the whole December in Northern Atlantic without seeing a cloud or a drop of rain is an immersion killer IMO.

Yes, I like OM+OMEGU very much, but the weather is for me an immersion killer too.

No, the CTD is caused by SH4 running out of memory.

For a solution apply the LAA-patch to your SH4.exe (see post #14 and #15): http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177503

I tried it and it says it can't patch the exe because I have an "unknown version" of the game.

I am using SH4 with the U-Boat Missions upgrade (legit, no cr@ck), bought online.

Is it a Steam version?
I found out that Steam puts crap code in the files also.
You can just use the original patching Utility from here:

Use the original LAA-patcher instead: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=112556

Run it, point it to your sh4.exe, click ok. A backup is created before patching btw.
