couple of standard questions:

in which folder is the game installed?
are you running with a 4 gig memory enabler such as Large Address Aware?
lastly, please post your JSGME mod list.

thanks.

Excuse me if this has been asked and answered before - I tried a search in this forum and came up with lots of hits but none of them related to my question.

When in port I have tried to add boat emblems to my boat prior to a new mission. Once I got this to work and got Olympic circles on my IIB U-23 boat but when I have tried to add the boat emblems to U-38, U-47 or U-99 I get nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

BTW - nice job in the game of simulating the torpedo problems the Germans had. I have experienced a big run of duds when using impact and if I switch to magnetic exploders I have gotten several premature explosions half way to the target. I can only image how frustrating this was for commanders and crews of the boats for real.

all of the boat emblems that were part of the last official release of DW (v6) should have graphics files that should appear on the Turm(s).

so, after further review, you are doing nothing wrong.

i am not sure why you are experiencing blank emblems. you should be seeing these.

• u38-cupid sitting on a torpedo
• u47-snorting bull
• u99-horseshoe

can you reply with your JSGME config?

thanks.

Just a little note Rigel44, but the best way to search the site here is to use an external search engine such as Google or DuckDuckGo, and use the leading term of "site:subsim.com/radioroom " and then your search term(s). That will restrict your search to only what is found in the RadioRoom of SubSim, and present more meaningful finds, though the results are NOT as good as they were as recently as a year ago, before the search engines got all "AI" smarter than the average human, and now find more less-meaningful hits and LOTS of advertisement links not related to anything subsim at all... - I do doubt though that you would find much on the emblems subject, so get KM your mod list.

i'll dive deeper into it.

next time you have a problem/question, you post your JSGME by launching that tool and clicking Tasks-Export to Clipboard, then paste it here (ctrl+v). no muss, no fuss.

after further review, it is normal for you not be able to add U38, U47, or U99 emblems to a Type IIB...because those Uboat numbers are for other boat-types. U38 is a Type 9, U47 is a Type 7B and U99 is a also a 7B. you have to be driving the proper boat to see and use specific hull number graphics.
Here, like so, your three examples display just fine, when used with the boats that match the hull numbers:

First of all thanks for the tips on search and easy display of my JSGME config.

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\SH4 Kriegsmarine\MODS]

OM_DarkWaters_V6

I should have been more clear - the only time I got the emblem to work was olympic rings on U-23 a type 2 boat. I am trying to display U-47 and U-99 on type VII and U-38 on a IX boat. I see that you have it working and it works beautifully. Still not sure why it is not working for me.

hi guys. i am a veteran with the sh3 onealex edition and want to try out sh4 dark waters. after solving the win10 problems with sh4 the game is now running fine. for my kind of play style i miss a rly important feature. maybe you can help. where do i find the attack disk if there is any?

[propbeanie]

It's been too long since I did Dark Waters or OM, but you would most likely be most interested in Karamazovnew's KiUB add-in mod, which is in the MODS folder after the Dark Waters activation (?? maybe ??). You could look in the mod itself, and see if there is a pdf or ReadMe file in there... Karamazovnew had a separate mod download KiUB Kriegsmarine Interface for UBm for a time, and had a link to his documentation, but those were on filefront, which is now defunct, but you might be able to find something in the Downloads section here on SubSim, or perhaps someone has a better memory than mine and can link you.

by attack disk, do you mean the nomograph? speed-time-distance chart?

Is the attack disk this one?



If so, it's in the Attack periscope, the top right red circle. The one in the left is a stadimeter.

Now don't ask me how it works, because I have no idea .

i mean this beautiful thing.

My crew can not rest properly. Watchmen are on the knees despite on they has small fatigue and good health. And also guys who is resting has an activity set as maintenance. What is that? I do not have battle station order and the boat is ok.
