[REL] Dark Waters

lederhosen · 12-13-19, 03:22 AM

exact date/time I dont remember, but it was early July 41

U52, type VIIb.

My first patrol to AM01 (real KM map) or AM43 area in game.
TC was 256.
It seemed to me that a spawning event near my Uboot was taking place. The game seems to take a deep breath everytime something like this happens and then continues. But this time I had a CTD.

Relaod from last save and this did not occur (spawn) and PZ1 was a dud. 96hrs later and assigned PZ AL65 area. This time my PC shows the same signs, I drop TC to "1" and dive to listen. Sure enough sonar finds Konvoy, say within 22km of my position. U52 goes on to sink 6 ships.

Have you installed correctly the LAA application linked to your SH4.exe?
Dark Water needs RAM

lederhosen · 12-13-19, 04:57 AM

umm...I have a 4gb patcher thingy. will look for the LAA

Fifi · 12-13-19, 05:36 AM

I think LAA is better than the 4GB patch for SH4...but propbeanie will correct me if I’m wrong

Make sure to get the right one (for 64 bits if your PC is 64)

propbeanie · 12-13-19, 09:41 AM

There is no difference in the end result with either app, but the LAA version of it is written to the "modern" Windows GUI specs, and might be a pinch "prettier" and maybe a bit easier to use??... All that happens is a couple of bits in the header of the executable file are flipped, which lets Windows know that the targeted app is capable of addressing more than 2g of RAM, so whether you are using a 32-bit Windows with 4gig of RAM and also a boot.ini edit, or a 64-bit version of Win10 or whatever, the end result is the same.

must be a bug... I got thrown in the Brig for sinking neutral shipping!
What could I do....the whole Konvoy was Neutral!!! waaaa!

hee hee, new career for testing

Hi there,

Fresh install of SH4, with LAA. WIthout activating the mod the game starts and runs fine, but with the mod activated I get a CTD due to a C++ Runtime Error, any ideas?

Zunaka · 02-21-20, 08:15 AM

Probably a stupid question, but does it require Operation Monsun? Thanks!

Nope, all included

You just need clean SH4 install (SH4+UBM)

Where can I read accurate heading of my sub, at least 1 degree? The readings on compass are hard to see clearly.

What compass? Nav Map, or interior/conning deck compass, or compass dial bottom right?
I’m afraid i can’t make it clearer

Hello, I'm new here, I've been playing SH4 since it came out. The mods are really great, thanks for the great job.

so, here i am in Penang. driving a Type 9D2. Seven missions completed.
It's September 1, 1944 when i enter port after my last mission.
as i submit my gripe list to the base repair officer, i sneak a peek at my next mission. check this out. (rather than insert a graphic that would be hard to read, i am inserting the text from the Careertrack.upc)

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusLast]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_LastStatus
NameDisplayable=NULL
CurrentDate=1944-09-01 20:59:49
...
PatrolStartDateTime=1944-08-30 00:00:00

Now that is really tough on the time schedules and deadlines.
i wonder what the repair officer will say when i tell him he has to be finished with my repairs three days ago so that i can leave on patrol 2 days ago.

and i am not going to predict what my valiant crew will say when i tell them not only will they NOT get leave but that we have to sail two days ago while we are still on our last mission.

seig heil and all of that.
