Default LBO was small and simple and only touched one file in the game

Another option would be to offer LBO as a separate mod again.
And seeing there are no options to chose from for type's of cloud speeds you want or a type of sea foam you want or a compatable zone's file for the type of mod you have it would be impossable to set up a single download without actualy makeing the choices for people even if they do not want what we included in the single download.

I considered it in the past and tryed it but when I did this the file was so large that it took almost 4 hours to do an upload and it crashed on my in the middle of it so I said screw that.

4 hours of not being able to play or work just to have it fail was not a fun prospect for me.

I understand where you and others are comming from truly I do but how can you do it and still allow people to pick and chose what they want and or use with thier PC's?!

I would like and have tryed to be accomidating for all the mod's out there from NSM to Triger maru and people who want to use one or the other and also just a stock set up. But how do you chose for people in a single download for that? Basicly I would have to do 1 of 2 things. Set up a download where I make the choice on what other mod people will use with ROW or put up 4 full downloads with that choice.

But then what about the clouds speed choices how do you figure that one out? Oh ya wait there is also the sea foam choice which one do I put in the full download?

This is why I wanted to make it and keep it modular. Everyone has a chaoice this way between what they want for thier own game and or PC capabilities. I am experienced enough to pull apart a mod and pick and chose what I want for my own game but there are so many out there that can't do this so now it is easy to chose just wat you want.

i was gonna use this along with rfb but both dont seem to go well on the mod enabler. does this mod alter the AI in regards to sensors etc making things more realistic thereby nagating a lot of what rfb does or TM for that matter?

is it worth me tryin to combine TM or RFB with this and has anyone else done so?

The way that the ROW mod downloads have been set up is spot on IMHO. You have the freedom of choice which ROW mod you wanna use. I've chosen the ones I want then time permitting I'll combine them into one ROW mod. It's that simple for me.

Default Nope this mod is only graffics and environment stuff

Nothing other than the special effects part of this mod does anything to the game play or crew or sensors or anything like that.

All the special effects does is set's up the game with better fires and explosions and adds them to the ships and also adds new effects the game never had from the start.

For the ship and sub reflection work and or sub movment a minimal amount of stuff was changed and none of it involves the sensors or crew only reflections and movment through the ocean and how it reacts to sea states.

This mod is about graffic enhancements for the game.

I'm useing RFB with the entire ROW Mod. Yes, JSGME will alert you that ROW will change some files already altered by RFB. I just let it overwrite whatever it wanted, and have'nt noticed anything bad.

Default Sound effect's for the game is a matter of personal taste

Has anyone used the Ultimate Sound Mod befor? How do you feel it compares to the new sounds offered in ROW? What are the major differences, and what am I missing? Thanks in advance.
Just like any other mod. The best you can do for yourself is download them listen to them both in and out of game and find what you want for your own game.

Remember we are working to make these sound effect's work best with the realistic sound travel option of the game so these sound effect's from this mod is specificly designed around that effect to create the best result's so if you do not use that in game option they might not sound right or perfect.

Lot's of rework done on these sounds to make them unique and more realistic instead of basic sounds.

Default RFB graffics are not as up todate as what is in this mod

BETA Release:

This MOD is about in game Graffics and effects only!

If you want more orginal game graffics for fire's and no oil slik effects and original colors work for sky and ocean then do not use ROW. I do not know the last time Berry upgraded his mod and posted it. But I do know for a fact that the graffics we did here and available for download now is further up to date than Duciums T.M. which also has some of the older ROW graffics but not all of them.

This will not effect your game play decision on which of the campaign mod's you chose.

This is about effects and graffics only not about actual game play. So letting this over write RFB and or T.M. and or RSRD is not an issue it will not effect how those mod's base file's work and how they effect the game. This is about environmental effects from how the ocean looks and works how the sky looks and works how the fires and smoke and explosions look and work and how the game environment sounds.

The other mods are about game play when and where you see ships and convoys and how and when you do missions. ROW dosn;t touch anything at all as far as game play.

I am just trying to figure out what sound is doing it other than the sub net sound that is all.

Maybe your firewall is giving you a problem turn it off for a few minutes to download the file then turn it back on and see what happens.
