Is there another file besides the .upc files in the various Submarine that limits the number of P:etty Officers? I have changed the total number to 70 in the Gato in both the v1.5 base and the v1.7p3 folders for all subs, but when I reload SH4 and my last save in the office, it continues to limit my number of Petty Officers below where I want them to be.
I must be missing something?

yes, but you are mostly there.
the \data\submarine\sub.UPC file is used only at certain intervals, like when you start a career or upgrade your boat. between missions, you need to edit the activeusers UPC file in the saved games folder. i a not near my SH4 computer so i cannot give you the exact location but i think you have enough skill to find it. edit the same lines in the activeuser save file that you did in the sub.UPC and you are good to go.

EDIT: That worked just fine! I also did another one that I've been wanting to test. I took a transfer to Tulagi - transfer went through, got a mission, and am off to Borneo with supplies! Good job, Guys!

Yeah, I do enjoy a good cuppa Army mud aka coffee... I on occasion, do also enjoy a good Capaccino or macchiato (white chocolate carmel) . My personal doughnut of choice is a jelly filled (glazed or powdered sugar raspberry jelly filled) kind. I also do enjoy a good apple fritter, as well. Not much of a footstool kinda Guy, I prefer a Lazyboy or Barcalounger recliner, instead. Quote:

Have you placed any crew at the gun positions? If you don't, then you are the only "person" operating the weapon, including the "loading"...

... but did you place any crew at the gun positions? Nothing was changed for the guns or any crewing positions. Some of the boats and guns are faster loading, and the crew rating does matter also, but it sounds like you do not have any crew members place in the gun positions for it to take that long. Either that, or you have been at Battle Stations too long, and they are exhausted. You can find their "rating" for that by clicking on the individual crew member and reading their stats.

So I finally installed 1.5 and decided to come back here to see if there was any recent activity/new mods, and... holy cow! This was updated in January!
Thanks to the authors of this mod for their hard work, and thanks to the community for keeping this game alive!

Seriously, I'm chalking this down to an unstable save - I had to quit the game mid-engagement but didn't want to lose my progress in sinking all the ships in a 4-ship unescorted convoy. I'll just finish this patrol and see if the problem persists in the next one. |

When a person posts about a problem, and all they give is the "problem", but no details, we have to assume. The two most common causes of slow gun loading is no crew at the gun positions or an exhausted / wounded gun crew. It would also be nice to know the date and location, as well as the boat Class, so that we might be able to look and see if there is a possible issue.

It's a Balao class boat, March 1944 and I'm off the coast of Honshu.
Gun slots are fully manned and crew are uninjured and (I assume) well rested - they don't have the zzz's. |

OK, ran through a few things, and this is a vid of the proceedings, April 6, 1944
Note that the gun crew shoots the 5 inch gun about as fast as they shoot the 4 incher. The player is able to shoot a bit faster. The main difference is the "hit" percentage. No "issues" detected though. Is your crew not as "fast" Zero Niner? |

Apologies for asking a very basic question here guys but how do i get a 1920x1080 resolution working? Is there a file somewhere i've got to edit or does the mod do that stuff when installed?
I just wanna make sure that the vanilla game is working correctly before installing this mod. |

SH4 is light years ahead of SH3 in that regard, and has all of the 'modern' resolutions because it apparently gets the list it uses from Windows. Someone else would have to mention the use of HDMI or other technologies with resolutions higher than 1920x1080, but if you set Windows to that, it will show in the game. The best thing to do is to set Windows to your monitors "native" resolution, which will show as "(recommended)" in the Windows dialog. Then set that in the game, and you should be good to go. If you by chance do not have a particular choice, then choose a multiple (divisible??) of it, such as 1920x1080 instead of 3840x2160, if that does not show in your game list. Just remember that after you activate the mod, you should delete the game's Save folder ("C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4" by default), and then re-set your video settings and other gameplay options.
