Jimi and Kal_Maximus,

You have both done a great job here!

Just so you know, I've managed to get the French version of the selector to work. I can see the program and click the different things, but haven't implemented anything yet since my French is a little rusty. It seems the English version is the only one I've had an issue with for now.

I haven't had a chance to try anything out yet, but once I do I'll let you all know.

For now, off to the supermarket to get "El Gaitero" and some "turrones de jijona" and grapes for tonight!:Kaleun_Cheers:
Happy New Year, Feliz Ano Nuevo, Frohes Neues Jahr, and Bon Ane!

all credit goes to DJimi I only tested.. tinkering and making some suggestions.. Happy New Year ElCid97 thank you for your kind words..:salute::salute:

Just an update.

I got an updated exe from Jimi, but no dice. In case someone can use this info, I'm posting it here:

Using the Event Viewer I saw the following info:

Faulting application name: Uboat_Selector.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x63a209f4
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.24545, time stamp: 0x5e0eb7f5

I have the CD version of the "Gold" edition (which is older than dirt, but still works) and I'm using the following mods (some are my own at the bottom). I've added and removed them from the bottom up, but still haven't found any cause. I haven't removed the stuff that came with the AddonModsPack 1.8 since I figured it may have been some of the mods I'd used that were not "approved" for 1.8:

01a_100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.8
01b_101_FotRSUv18_FixPak

01q_909_Gramophone_LeadAngles
Jimimadrid SubManagement

The lead "01x" is just something I added to know what was supposed to go where (sequence) when activating. Not sure if I should remove those since I now have a txt file in a safe place to know what the sequence should be.

I wonder if I should just test the selector with only the FotRSU 1.8 base and fix-pack only, and no other mods at all?

Hope everyone had a good New Years!

ElCid97


PS: The "french" version works fine without any issues whatsoever.

Hello ElCid97...
you activate your options in D3Jimi's mod then you launch the game via the "SubManagement" selector at least once..
the next time all is ready ... even without going through the selector ..
your list looks good to me... otherwise you can refer to mine by going up the son

Here you can see the right procedure to get the uboat_selector working.

Jimi,

Disregard the PM. I got the full thing now from the first page here. Sorry about that.

Followed the steps in the picture. Got these two messages with the crash. FYI, I tried to install Net v4 from what I had on my backup drive, but my system complained and wouldn't let me do it. Said something about a newer version already installed. Not sure if this is Win-7-64 related?

I basically get to step #4 and it crashes. The Merger program works fine. French version still working fine. No big deal since I can compare that one with the picture, but I'd still like to know what's going on.

Will try to fix after work today.

Thanks to all for the help!

Well ...

As of tonight, it's still the same. The english one doesn't work, but the french one does. No big deal for me since I can get the other one to work, but I know there has to be a reason for the english one not working.

I even tried renaming it without the underscore (from "Uboat_Selector" to "Uboat Selector"), but that had no effect. Even renamed it to the french name, but no-go.

There has to be something simple since the event viewer has the same exact faults every single time (the kernelbase.dll and the form calling).

Sorry if it's litterally a repetition of before, but here's the last itteration:

Application: Uboat Selector.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.FileNotFoundException

at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsF ormsApplicationBase.Run(System.String[])
at Uboat_Selector.My.MyApplication.Main(System.String[])

and the other one again:

Faulting application name: Uboat Selector.exe, version: 1.0.2.0, time stamp: 0x63b3ef14
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.24545, time stamp: 0x5e0eb7f5

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: b99c91e6-8bca-11ed-85a8-20cf3073b729

I've downloaded the last version of the management package and that didn't work either. I also downloaded the selector from the downloads/mods which is v1.03 as well. Over-wrote the other one, but no dice.

If I can come up with something that may make sense I'll let you all know, but I'm not a programmer so for now I'm clueless.

The only thing I noticed is that when I run the french version I actually get a message about "recherche" and the "Uboat_selector.ini" file gets created in english. It then gives me another small window saying "trouve" and that it will now function correctly (similar to spanish).

I'm guessing one is the "search" and the other is the "find" for the Uboat folder. What I'm not understanding is why the english version is not even creating the ini file -- much less searching or finding the Uboat folder.

Hope this helps to troubleshoot.

ElCid97

Renown Anomaly
 

jimi,

as i was about to shove off on my next mission (third), i noticed on the Equipment screen that my Renown total was 275, which seemed incorrect after two successful missions with no upgrades.
so, i checked the other two screens and the Renown had the correct total, 6275.
here are the screens and my config.

p.s. my apologies for the image links. Imgbb is having difficulties today.:hmmm:

Hi Kaleu Marco,


i will check it tomorrow. I reduced the digits because it uses the 5 digit background and this do not look good with the bulb image. I will rework it.

ah...then it was purposeful.
as long as you are aware, then there is no issue with "losing" renown.
:Kaleun_Salute:


one more thing, as long as you are opening up the code....
when promoting a NR to a Rate, the promotion mini-window displays with yellow text on a light background which makes the text difficult to read.
now, having said that, veterans of many careers can figure out the various rates, but it is difficult to see.
i would include a screenshot, but i have promotions available. (lol)

Hi Kaleun Marco,
found the error for the missing digit. A wrong line has slipped in the "Submanagement backgrounds.ini" and must be deleted.

https://up.picr.de/45012607ty.png

Deactivate the mod in the SH_Menumerger, also in JSGME. Delete the line. Activate with JSGME and in SH_Menumerger.


I upload a corrected Version in the Downloads.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Your next Problem:



I do not know which graphics are included. With trying to change Textcolors in SH4 i get no results.
So that we have to change the used picture to a darker background.


To found that image i will provide you with a little Application i have written.
With this you can check all images in the Menu_1024_768.ini.

Whe you found the image tell me the subsection number.

Hi KaleunMarco,


I hope this helps.


go again in the Mods\\Jimimadrid SubManagement\MenuMerge\SubManagement Backgrounds.ini


delete following entrys:


[G61 I6]
UGroup=G61 I1 ; Page Crew
Name=Background
Mat 0= data/menu/data/cls.tga
Crop 0=0,0,0,0


[G61 I90]
UGroup=G61 I1 ; Page Crew
Name=Selection
Mat 0= data/menu/data/cls.tga
Crop 0=0,0,0,0



[G61 I107]
UGroup=G61 I1 ; Page Crew
Name=Background
Mat 0= data/menu/data/cls.tga
Crop 0=0,0,0,0


Try if this helps. Thanks for your patience.


If i get a go from you i will change this in the download section. :Kaleun_Salute:

your fix returned the crew screen and promotions window back to the "stock" view.
much easier to read, now. thank you for the change!:salute:
