I get the v\vanilla gold splash screen and the game looks vanilla to me. Is there any way to find out in game if TMO 2.5 is working? So uninstalled TMO and put in RFB, get the same and the game looks exactly the same. So uninstalled that and put in TMO and RSRD tmo502 and the patch. This crashes the game after the intro film. Also I'm a big fan of setting up the shot turning of position keeper setting gyro angle to 0 with the scope to target specific areas of the ship. Any way of getting the TDC or gyro angle up in the scope view? Or is it DOK method for the win the only way here?
So right now I have the game in d:\ubisoft\SH4 JSGME running in the same folder. can't see any of the mods affecting the game on start up. Tried using the Ubisoft shortcut and a direct shortcut to the exe file as well still the same issues. p. s I managed to get GWX3 gold working on SH3 in the x86 folder no problem. need to read the manual because the attack interfaces are all different but I can do that later.
Again thanks for the help. Getting the game running isn't a problem but vanilla sucks soooo much.

So I fixed it. YAY
Thanks to the wonder that is CSM, great tool BTW
So I did a totally clean install and did a pristine CMS back up on my C drive.
Made a TMO game copy. Ran the 4GB .exe tool on all the Exe for the game JSGME and the multi game .exe.
Then i hit issues. Tried running the multi game and it said it couldn't re-write a .dll so after scratching my head I found one of 2 fixes that could of caused the problem. Both the game directory and the game my documents directory were read only. So changed that for them both with sub folders, then everything ok. Did a JSGME back up. then installed TMO. created a new shortcut from the TMO game folder and it worked. I had a big grin then I'll tell ya. So I tried each mod install separately and started the game after each one and all working fine now. The only thing I did different from the first time with JSGME was take the mods out of the original expansion folder and put those in the mods folder instead so it could have been that. I was surprised to not get any write errors from JSGME on my first attempts though but I think that was the problem it said it updated but no files were being overwritten in the game folder.
So long story short and lesson learned you don't always get non file write messages and check to see if the read only tag is on.
So thanks for the help Guys time to go sing some Japs, for a change. Oh and go learn Grey wolves all over again. Got the same issues thee with Torp solutions as the TDC id no longer showing in the scope. Sigh good job i like a challenge.
