Next, install the U-Boat upgrade (v1.5). No need to do the v1.3 or v1.4 upgrades. Install JSGME and save a snapshot of the original program files. Delete the My Documents\SH4 folder, then start a new campaign - this time in a Sargo-class boat. Now, something interesting happens - the game defaults to a stern mounted deck gun for the Sargo  That may be where the problem with the deck guns is coming from - an incompatibility with Ducimus' fixes for the Tench-class (or Tambor?). I traded for a forward mounted deck gun - no problem there, except I had to put a crew on it. Started the campaign, then tested the deck gun (now on the fore deck). No problems! Swiveled and fired OK.
I still need to enable TMO2.5, but I think I'll do that tomorrow - its after 2AM now in Oregon, and I'm sleepy.
Let you know what happens tomorrow.
PS: The program still doesn't ask me to enter my license (key), nor does it access the internet to check the license as it used to do. |
You can try TMO 22 (TMO 2 plus update 2 to 22), and Traveller Mod. For me, this is a better combination than TMO 25. TMO 22 seems more stable than TMO 25.
This is my actual JSGME list (also I have radio and gramophone files, direct installation):
Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[F:\SH4\MODS]

speech_overhaul
Cold Weather Crew Clothing
Webster's Ship Manuvering Fix

Traveller Mod v2.02 (TMO) Longer Sinking Times patch
This combination is very stable and no problems with any of the subs (I use mainly Gato class boats).
FOTRS Environment is the Fall of the Rising Sun megamod atmosphere, the best for me.
Also I added a lot of new ships (my own ASAT mod - Added Ships and Traffic for TMO RSRDC); is my Beta version, all fine with the mod. When I obtain the authorizations from the ships creators, I will publish my mod. I added traffic in San Francisco, San Diego, New London, the Caribbean, New york and Australian bases, and new allies and enemy convoys to RSRDC campaign, with ships from FOTRS and Operation Monsun mods, and ships converted from SH3 MFM and VonDos ships. For the moment, only for my use...
Best regards.
