[WIP] TMO: Nine Delta Two

[Jack Callahan]

Ducimus,

As a avid user of TMO 1.9 and SHIII GWX Gold, I would like to say that I have been watching this TMO with interest. Considering I am currently deployed, I have no illusions that I'll be able to download this at it's release so I am willing to be patient until I can. Take your time my friend.. We all have plenty of sailing to do in TMO. Think I'll start another campaign with an S-boat...

You guys have internet out there? My knowledge must be way behind the time. I was in about 12 years ago, and internet wasn't something you'd see unless it was at home station. Then again, 12 years ago the internet wasn't as big a thing as it is now.

As D/L's go, i'm guessing this will be in the neighborhood of 300MB's when 7 zipped. How long you there for roughly? I could always try and break it down into smaller more manageable chunks so you could grab it a little bit at a time whenever you have access. If someone had told me deployed personnel were using this stuff, id have made a better effort at making it easier to get.


Mod related:
German bases now look almost exactly like they did in SH3. Band, nurses, troops, guards walking around, etc, and no buildings clipping from view.

Think how I feel. When I was in a computer was a refrigerator-sized thing with big spinning tapes in a window at the top, and to talk to it you had to use punch cards! Not that I had a clue back then what a computer even was, but...

That's the best news I've heard in a long time! If you'd like I can try my hand at sticking ships in the harbors. No experience in that department, but I really want to see harbor traffic and I like learning new stuff.

i'll have to send a buttload of files your way. Probably the whole mod to make sure were on the same page. I was going to do Bordeux in the next day or two, but right now im still putzing around with the 2nd support group. Their patrol pattern isn't to my satisfaction. So it will be a couple days. But i guess you could use Bordeux as an example and tackle Lorient, and Kiel if you want. If your serious about this, let me know and ill try and package stuff up when it's ready.

I'm pretty much a novice, but one of my complaints about SH4 is the lack of harbor traffic a la the SH3 supermods. I guess if I really want to see it I'd better start learning.

Do you consider to introduce:

- more enemy ships with different sinking mechanics a la OM stuff?
- new recognition manual?
- German active sonar aka S-Gerat?

[Ducimus]

Not at this time.

I have a bigger fish in my frying pan.

That's really great news!
