Silent Hunter 4 version 1.5 : Trigger Maru Overhauled 2.0
- Pulling the Trigger on SH4!

Trigger Maru Overhauled 2.0 is available only for SH4 1.5
- All modifications provided as is, without warranty, I make no promises of being bug free.

Installation order:
Assuming you have no mods installed, you should enable TMO in the following order;

1.) REL_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2
2.)TMO Optional mod

COMPATIBILITY:

Trigger Maru is not compatible with any large modpack, to include enviromental mods.  Exception to this is any version of RSRD made specifically to be compatible the latest version of TMO.  All other large mod packs are NOT compatiable.  The reason is, many large modpacks deal with the same files, and alot of unexpected results will occur.

What's new: (includes fixes from patch to 1.9)

// ------------ Player sub/torp/sensor

- Depth running problems for the MK 14 and MK 23 torpedo will be resolved at the end of aug 1942, as is historically correct.  This means your fish will run at the correct depth starting in sept 42.

- crew should now properly repeat orders for directional and depth changes.
- slightly decreased the effects of darkness and rough seas effecting your watch crews ability to spot targets.

- Damage zones for diesal and electric engines increased from 200 to 400 hit points
- reworked how SJ radar behaves. See manual.

- removed fuel ballast passive ability from officers.
- adjusted sub fuel to account for fuel ballast and flat map projection
- fixed S boat recharge time
- fixed error in S boat crash speed.


// --------------- campaign changes

- increased dynamic mission requirements minimum fuel percentage from 35% to 40%.  Extra missions assigned after sending a status report should now be more limited (Feel less like an endless loop of missions) and not ask you to go someplace when low on fuel.

- Removed all volitale cargo from single merchants. (No more unescorted Kaboom)
- removed all ammo cargo from convoys.  Shipping containing Fuel/oil, still remain. (Still get Kaboom)

- slighly increased range at which radio contacts will be recieved
- added extra messages by danurve
- good patrol rating renown requirements from 500 to 600
- Added Sofu Gan (Lot's wife) by aanker
- expanded aleution patrol assigments
- increased spawn rate on aluetion convoys

- better scripted out pearl harbor and fremantle flotillas.
- better scripted out alaksan command
- Tambor/gar/gato now get assigment to attu in 7/42
- fixed typo in honshu mission
- greatly increased single merchant traffic
- messages.txt->edited message priority on danurves extra messages.
- airstrike.cfg->Logic Steps Between Air Sessions from 20 to 25

// --------------- enviromental

- Fixed clouds.  (was tiling in an un natural mechanical manner)
- Fixed horizon line.  Shouldn't see that odd white segment on the horizon as much on clear days/nights.

- changed windspeed from 0,4,8,15, to 0,5,10,15
- changed Underwater coloring to look more correct
- changed fog settings to look good, but not hamper visuals to an extreme with light fog.

- lowered cloud height from 700 to 400

- scene.dat-> wind0 -> scale = wind1 / 2
- scene.dat-> wind0 -> specularity intesnity from 3 to 1.5


//------------------ merchant and warship
- Yugomo DD no longer gets radar in 4/42. Moved it to 9/43, after the RCM becomes available.

- adjusted radar equipment type & date on some tincans. Should now only come with type 22 after mid to late 1944.

- San pans and life boats will no longer explode
- added ship debris with bodies from Pacific Environment 4
- added warships retextured from Real Environments
- added merchant skinpack v 2 by Sergei

//------------------------ AI sensors
- GREATLY reduced JP type22 surface radars max range.
- Slightly lowered range of mid and late war jap passive sonar.
- adjusted fog factor to be in tune with environmental changes
- decreased sensitity of AI hydrophones, but also reduced the effectiveness of thermal layers against passsive sonar.


// ----------------- menu/ gui

Since this is a new thread, i'll post the credits list as a reply.  My reasons for just citing the PDF file for credits in the original post is mainly because the mod release post is rather lengthy as is, and i honestly don't think people read huge walls of text.

Bonjour Sir Ducimus,

I present : Gibus, moderator on the French forum http://www.mille-sabords.com/forum/


Thank you for your products that we use to play multiplayer since release Rel Trigger Maru 1.7.6


On the version TMO 1.7 and the following, I noticed a problem with the conditions Météorol :

With the mission editor :

1. TMO 1.7 and 1.9
1.1 Clouds=heavy, Precipitations=light, Fog=light : visibility 250 m (less than the distance of arming torpedoes)
1.2 Clouds=heavy, Precipitations=light, Fog=none : visibility 250 m (less than the distance of arming torpedoes)

2. SH4 U-Boat Missions
2.1 Clouds=heavy, Précipitations=light, Fog=light : visibility 1.250 m

What do you think?
Best regards
Gibus

Bonjour Sir Ducimus,

I present : Gibus, moderator on the French forum http://www.mille-sabords.com/forum/

Bonjour Gibus
  en SHMF
espérons que Ducimus sera bientôt là pour répondre la question.

Sinon, c'est aussi permit de parler en français ici en SHMF, mais je vois que tu parles déjà l'anglais très bien. Bon, bon....

[Carotio]

I have added the download links for version 2.0, but the thread text is still needed to be edited by Ducimus to reflect this 2.0 version.
But the 2.0 PDF manual is there too...
