Here's another pick.
Bit late here now, I'm going to delete everything and start again tomorrow I think.




ps. 1st pic is from the sub school

Hmm... Can't see of any of the mods causing issues... that I can see of, that is.

See from your reply & the follow up pics, that what I outlined, looks good.

If I am seeing that right, the I:\ drive is not the main drive...

1 thing I did not see an answer on, was what the source was for your copy of SH4.

With regards to the 2 times that you went to set up FotRS, did you dump the unzipped files for the mod & re unzip from the main download you grabbed..???

Or did you keep the unzipped files & reuse them, for both attempts...???

As for that, yes.. it can & does occur. You'd think that such the case would be nigh unto impossible, but... there it is... it does happen.

M. M.


Even Steam & Ubisoft, are aware that it can... which is why they both include in their launchers, the means to ''validate game files'' & that's just them 2 that I know of.. am pretty sure any other game source that uses launchers to d/l & play games nowadays has that baked into their launchers.

I have a clean vanilla SH4 from a CD on the "I" drive. It has only been run once using the sub school. I make copies of this original vanilla sh4 for KSDII and DarkWaters, both run fine. And both, through multiSH4, have their own save game folder.

Ok, when you boot up the unmodded SH4... what version is it listed as...

v 1.4, v 1.5 ???

With regards to FotRS mod, did you dump the MODS folder, along with SH4 when you attempted to reset up the 2nd time.. & unzip the mods after reinstalling SH4... or did you save the mods folder & reuse the unzipped mods.???

If you kept the unzipped mods & the MODS folder... so as to have only the mods themselves in the MODS folder, you would have had to delete the following:

JSGME (this would be the configuration settings, located in the MODS folder. It sets up when you activate the mods initially. To avoid issues, you'd need to delete that, if you snag the MODS folder out of the SH4 install folder... that config file, should be the last in the list, inside the 'MODS' folder.)

In addition, I would say, also that JSGME file snapshot... would likely need to be deleted, as well.

I believe that those 2 items in 'MODS' folder being kept in there (if you kept it to use in your 2nd attempt to set up SH$ + FotRS-Ultimate) would cause issues, just the same as not deleting the game save folder you set up in documents, using MultiSH4.

propbeanie can confirm that, for 100% sure, but I am fairly confident that am right about that...

v.1.5 is the vanilla.


I deleted everything, mods folder incl.


But the JSGME files maybe not so.hmmm




update....... Same problem. I just cant see where I'm going wrong on this.


one last try. Clean install from CD this time

[propbeanie]

Empty the Save folder after you activate the mod. When you play the stock game, even just the Sub School to test your install, you are populating the Save folder with stock game files. You have to empty the Save folder before playing the modded game, else it won't add all of the mod's files, and you end up with a confused mix of a game, that quite possibly could CTD, besides graphics and operational anomalies.

do you write training manuals for a living?

Well... they wanted 1200 words or less for each manual, and I had a difficult time getting under 6200...

Been playing V1.39 since my first try with V1.46 and the over active aircraft took the fun out of my playing. Want to try V1.46 again and want to know if there have been any "fixes" to tone down the AC enthusiasm to sink me every time I surface.

[lederhosen]

Sooooo, my problem is solved.
Seems my "cheap" set of SH4 CD'S may be the resaon after all.
I knew that I bought SH4 on steam yrs ago, so I decided to go this route, buy the uboot missions for $5, followed the install instructions to the letter, and....
yippy seems to work even after adding one or two extra mods/skins etc.


sorry to of bothered you guys as it seems I was at fault (well the cheap CD'S)

[lederhosen]

anyone have a link to US sub-logbooks ?

If you are referring to the doggedly pernicious airplanes - especially Betty planes... ?? I am thinking that we turned the radar efficiency down in the Preview version, which is basically v1.46 with updated airplane activity, as well as submarine changes... The area around Rabaul and Bougainville, as well as several other areas can be a bother at certain times though still. Also, there is a "patch" of sorts for the Preview, for the uniforms.

Preview of the next release of Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate

Preview_EnlistedFix.7z

It is a preview though, and does not have all parts finished. We are STILL working on the ST Periscope Radar failure to upgrade issue, and don't really want to do the sensible solution which would be liberal use of the <Delete> key... but the airplanes should not bird dog you nearly as strongly.

No biggie.

The War Patrol Reports are here, and the Log Books are in the National Archives, but don't hold much info. Are you are after a log book to use yourself, or a mod for the log book in the game?

Ahoy, lederhosen...

Wasn't any bother... & am glad you were finally able to get things sorted and rolling.

Fair winds, smooth seas... & Good huntin'...

both actually. I sometimes like to keep a logbook of sorts for careers etc..

[propbeanie]

For whatever reason (oldmanitis), I cannot find a log book mod... maybe there never was one (oldmanitis)... There is Kim Ronhof's SH4 Report generator, of which you do have to be careful with in the 'modern' Windows OS, else it will 'flag' it as a pup or worse... also, I thought I had a page in the Support folder in one of the sub-folders of a logbook page, but I apparently left that out... (oldmanitis) - if I manage to find more, I'll post back...
