couple of questions
Hey BH,
i finally completed my Dark Waters career which allowed me to clear the decks and load up your new TMO redux. it has generated a couple of questions. driving a Porpoise out of Pearl, December 1941. Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157 [C:\Ubisoft\TMO_BH\MODS] 100 TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5_UpdateBH Revised Final 110 Nav Map MakeOverTMOUpdate 120 NavMapMakeOverTMOUpdatePatch 130 AlliedShipsTMO 140 ShipsforTMO 150 EAX_Sound_Sim_SH4 160 TMO2_different_smoke_and_splash_effects 170 IJN_Radar_Fix_2 200 DecoysTMO 210 RestoreSDRadarFromStart 220 AAtoDeckguns+Radio 800 TMO_BH_Fixes_MTB The surface radar will not operate. it's installed but no display and no detection of the enemy. also, no decoys are available, even though i loaded the mod. next, the 20 mm AA gun, which operated just fine in sub school, will not operate, will not even load its ammo. lastly, (for now), will the 1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for TMO 2.5 mod work with your TMO-Redux? Enjoying the play. thanks.

SJ Radar (surface search) per history is not available until June 1942, so it is not active. I wish we could make the radar cabinets disappear until we have it, but we can't. Something the devs should have fixed, but of course did not. SD(air search) is not available until late Dec 41 and it costs a lot of renown until around Mar 1943. This was changed because at time US entered the war, SD was a new technology and most boats (especially Asiatic boats and S boats) did not have SD at start of the war. This forces player to operate in a different manner, in a historical manner as early boats did since running on surface is risky. I included the SD from start mod, primarily so if player was operating one of the boats that did have it, they could have it. Some may not like playing without air search radar, so have it as well. I do advise giving a try without it, really is immersive and lets player see a real difference as time goes on when they have various technologies and can change tactics, as US submarines did in reality. Decoys are not available until August 1944. They should have never been available from start of war, as were in stock and honestly JulyAugust 1944 is a little early as I do not believe anyone actually went on patrol with the SBT-1 until November of 44, but I did not change it in the first release. The mod increases the number, but you have to wait until they are available. The AA guns will not work manually unless submarine is at General Quarters or have ordered the actual deck manned. This is because the AA guns, in order to shoot at surface targets are classified as deck guns now by the sim and are linked(I have no idea how to remedy this), and at this time there is no way to make them multi purpose. I am guessing in the training you were at GQ or had the guns ordered manned, so they become active and ability to fire manually. So assuming you want them to shoot at surface targets, keep the AA to Deck Gun+Radio mod enabled. When you see a surface target, call GQ or order deck gun manned and you if desire can man and fire the gun manually then. I thought I explained this in the README, if I did not or was not detailed enough, I apologize and will make sure next README covers this. What is the mod TMO BH MTB fixes? I do not recall that mod... OTC is not compatible with the TMO update as from what I understand, others who try have had CTD. The creator of OTC or somehow are welcome to try make it compatible with my TMO mod. |

CTD - it's not just a job
|
The game only allows one player-controlled "Deck Gun", so if the AA guns are set to "Deck Gun", you might not be allowed to control them, since you already have control over the main gun. The "camera" might be the only reason you're allowed in the position. That would be a test to try, is a non-threatening enemy ship, such as an un-armed tug anchored nearby to the player sub, and then an airplane come by a minute later, and see what you can and cannot do. Of course, standing orders out of CenPac state that you should NOT be caught unawares by any airplane under any circumstances...

Player can still man and control the AA guns when they are set as deck guns, i.e. for AI to fire at surface targets, I have used them with the mod enabled. However, can no longer use them at will. Basically, the guns have to be "active", i.e. the DECK GUN ordered manned by crew and fire command given, as long as the guns are manned or at GQ, player can fire the guns. However, once station is not manned, player can go to gun view but can not fire, if hit fire it will give a message saying position is not active. I'd love to make them truly multip purposes as were, so target aircraft and surface targets, but I do not see a way to make that happen. Silly though, since the enemy AI ships AA guns fire at ships and planes. |

CTD - it's not just a job

The conn then is taken as a 2nd platform, I guess... If you have two AA guns on the conn, are you able to switch between the two then, or are you restricted to just the one?

Yes, can switch to the station view for all guns, even when they are not "active" (no AI crew manning, not at GQ, or guns not ordered manned on the orders bar) but if not "active" then cant load or fire. Once "active", can fire them, switch back and forth. Basically, the AA guns become linked to the main deck gun. The AA gun orders on the order bar at bottom of screen become useless. Kind of a pain and wish had individual control with them being multi purpose, but do not and not sure how to make it so. However, the gunfire they can lay down really is great. The combined fire really cuts through the fishing boats lol and can save deck gun ammo and can save deck gun ammo for larger targets. Plus if find sub in bad situation on surface in night surface attack or have to surface due to damage, gives player some fighting chance to have AI firing at them instead of just sitting their waiting for player to fire. |

time keeps chugging
my time compression keeps chugging along when I get a contact. At first I thought OK maybe they are friendly, but determined it keeps chugging for any contact, and if your compressed at 512 you can leave the area before you can react. Did my down load miss something?

Well, that is just one of those SH 4 things I believe. I typically transit at 1056x time to and from patrol area, and 512 or less when close to and in patrol area. Typically at 512 will not miss the contacts. TMO uses stock time compression. Things can happen too fast for player sub sensors to catch one another and high TC will foul up weather and eventually the time of day, sunsets, dawn etc. Typically will slow down for enemy contacts, friendlies and neutrals not so much. From C:/UBI/CFG/Main [TIME COMPRESSION] TimeStop=0 RealTime=1 LandProximity=4 CriticalDamage=1 CrewEfficiency=128;1 AirEnemyDetected=1 SoundEffects=2 CharacterAnim=4 EnemyDetected=8 RadioReport=8 Particles=8 PrayState=8 HunterState=32 3DRender=32 Maximum=8192 |

Am including the base "[TIME COMPRESSION]" settings, that I have in each & every one of My, 9 mod sets I have... would be 10, but... am going through that set to make sure everything is there, before... I go for setting that 1 up. (Soviet Waterways SH4 mod set... would be # 10 ) [TIME COMPRESSION] TimeStop=0 RealTime=1 LandProximity=8 CriticalDamage=1 CrewEfficiency=128;1 AirEnemyDetected=1 SoundEffects=2 CharacterAnim=4 EnemyDetected=1 RadioReport=1 Particles=64 PrayState=256 HunterState=256 3DRender=32 Maximum=512 My issue that, I'm running into... is I go for 512 TC, am expecting it to dead stop, once 512 TC is reached, but.. it's not.. it keeps on racking up. Is to the point, I have to keep My eye on the TC indicator & stop hitting the time compression increase key ( which is either "+" or "num. key +". Weirdly enough... reducing or pausing, no issues there... decreasing TC, soon as it hits pause, it dead stops. Issue 2, is as with gandyrail there & what they are experiencing... on coming across other ships (including air targets... regardless of IFF status... ) sub, keeps chugging along when I am set to get hauled back to 1 TC. When it comes to land or radio message, however... as seen above, I get hauled out of high TC & back to 1 TC. Am at a loss as to why it is doing that... is driving Me... insane. Ugh. M. M. side note: your TMOverhauled v2.5 set, Bubblehead1980... is NOT one of those, 2 or 3 mod sets that have this issue... I am, using that same [TIME COMPRESSION] set up in it &... is working b..e..a.. utiful... in it, though.

time keeps chugging
Correct, the game drops to TC 1:1 when I get a radio message. It also drops to a I think 1:8 when in shallow water. I wonder if TC slows down if I encounter SH4 stock ships that have not been modded? I have not played enough yet to know ... The time chugs along no matter what compression I use I travel at 512 or in the 1000's. In the patrol area no more than 256 which does not go to 1:1 either.

you had better make it 1024x, If you make it 1056, you risk a CTD.
