secondly, how in the heck did i miss this for umpteen years? thirdly, a couple of questions, now that mine eyes have been opened: Contact Reports ;PartialMatch=17,202 - are these ShipTypes? and, if Shiptypes are listed, then the use case is inclusive? if no ShipTypes are listed then any ShipType will qualify for inclusion? ;PartialMatchingMinimumPercentage=1 - The Contact Report entries have a range from <blank> to 10. Still cannot figure this out. EntryFocalPointLong=16095615.000000 EntryFocalPointLat=1730000.000000 MaximumDistanceFromStartPoint=40000 i suspect that the Long/Lat is pointing at Pearl Harbor and the Distance in in Kilometers? Status Reports ExclusiveLayer=Yes ExclusiveLayerID=633 my first thought was that these parms pointed to a specific mission in the Patrol Objectives index but there are not 633 missions so it must point to something else. ??? I may have more silly-a$$ed questions later.

CTD - it's not just a job

btw, previous post I pointed you at "Data \Campaigns \Campaign \ContactReport..." folder. That is incorrect. It should have been "Data \Campaigns \Campaign \DynamicMiss \..." instead - sorry. Short circuit that did not result in a CTD...

How difficult is it to change starting radar or gun choices? While I'd love to be able to set up USS Drum in 1941 Manila, I've only ever done a few text edits, so just having a functional surface search radar would go a long way.

the boat has to have the various radar-set equipment available with the boat.upc. equipment.upc and Unitparts.upc and then the radar-set has to be date-available in the UpgradePacks. what you are attempting is possible but it is a multi-step process and must be implemented correctly.....otherwise you are sent to the land of CTD.

Gato Retired during the War?
Driving a Gato, out of Saipan, October 1944.
Arriving in port after the umpteenth successful mission, i was offered a new sub, however the message was a bit different than the other upgrades that were offered. i decided to keep the current "bucket of bolts" and was summarily retired. the boat had not received any hull damage in the previous mission but it was retired anyway. this seemed odd so i thought i would mention it.

Hello there,
ok I hope someone here can help me. I did a clean and fresh install of SH4 through steam. It´s on a seperate drive so not in a Program Files folder. I can launch the stock game just fine. But when I load FotRSU with JSGME, I cant start anymore. It gives me weird errors, something like "There a new (not implemented)... and this with various files, playerranks and more. The last of the errors say something about menu not found. I tried this and that, mainly admin and compability mode. I also used the Large adress thing. During my testing, I noticed it says V1.3 at the bottom. I installed both SH4 and U-Boat missions. Shouldnt it be V1.5 then? Is that the problem? Please help

As per the first post in this thread, and on the download page, and in the documentation that is found in the Support folder of the mod, you MUST use v1.5 of Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific. You CANNOT use v1.3 or v1.4 (or earlier versions). You cannot be in a Program Files folder, you must knock the "Read-only" attribute off of at least the SH4.exe and FileManager.dll files, and then activate either LAA or 4Gig Patch on the SH4.exe file, and MultiSH4 on FileManager.dll. In addition, you might have to adjust the Compatibility tab settings of the SH4.exe file also, dependent upon your video card, driver and display monitor. It is recommended to activate the mod with JSGME, but be certain the folder paths are correct... I'm sure there are other pointers I am not thinking of right now...

And that is why I'm still playing the Steam U-boat vanilla game. Haven't wanted to commit an entire weekend to getting the mods to run correctly...I'm also short of Advil at the moment. BTW...if he reinstalled the U-boat version of SH4 from Steam he is running V1.5.

Effort is worth it. The stock game is such garbage compared to mods like FOTRS, you will be blown away once you do and be glad you took the time I remember years back holding off on mods because seemed time consuming etc and at first, it is. Again, worth it. Just a heads up always give to the uninitiated who seem hesitant |
