Hi CS
Well done, I know it is a lot of hard graft and time consumming. :Kaleun_Applaud:

There was one good thing about it Peter. If you simply change the .....//s25.postimg.org/abcdefg/….. to …….//s25.postimg.cc/abcdefg/…... in the image address, you are back in business!

THEBERBSTER 06-11-18 03:59 PM

Hi CS
Very interesting.

Where is the image address found?

If you "edit" one of your post's you'll find the "link" to your images, (Postimage changed their extension from s25.postimg.org to s25.postimg.cc) you just need to change that extension reference.....change the ".org" to ".cc" and your back in business.

Any "new' links coming from your PostImage images have this change in them.....you just need to change your older posts, where you've used the older address, as a link to the image with the ".cc" as the extension PostImage is now using.

Hi CS

The problem I had was there were no pictures showing in the tutorial.
There was no connection hidden either in the Post.

Copying a tutorial Post with pictures to Word showed there was a picture there but no http connection to change the extension.
Hopefully it will not happen again?

Peter

Wow Peter, that's not what I had to do. By using the "Edit" feature of the original post, the images were still there in "address" form. Here's an example:

https://s25.postimg.org/s535hlurj/abcderg.jpg[IMG]https://s25.postimg.org/s535hlurj/745a3311-e75c-42d5-85fd-eae535da167f.jpg{/IMG]

(I had to change the bracket in order to have the line show).

This line showed where the image should have been in the text. I just had to change the postimg.org to postimg.cc and the image was good. I do notice that on my Windows XP computer I don't have the image "address" as I do on my other computer running Windows 10. It's the difference between the OS that allows for the [IMG] Address to show or not I guess?

It might also be the browser and / or settings used in it. You both have Win10, correct? Which browser though?... :salute:

THEBERBSTER 06-14-18 04:39 AM

Hi PB
Firefox with Windows 10

These are also the instructions that Postimage gave out.

Ah HAA!! That's the difference!!

I've got Firefox on my Windows XP Computer, I also use it on my other "mod work" computer, a Windows 10 OS. My third computer, a Windows 10 laptop (I'm writing this post with) uses Microsoft Edge as its browser. I can read the [IMG] syntax lines with it, but not with the Firefox browser computers.

Thanks propbeanie for thinking on those lines.....you are right to assume there's a difference!

propbeanie 06-15-18 08:07 AM

Yer welcome! I'm sure there's a way to change the setting in Firefox, but I haven't noodled in that browser in a while, and it's been updated quite a bit lately - not that I'd remember how anyway... I can change it in my Vivaldi browser, but that won't help much here... :salute:

THEBERBSTER 06-15-18 01:22 PM

Hi PB
There is IIRC.
You go to the icon Switch Editor Mode top right hand corner of the posting screen.
Switches on for Firefox off in other browsers.

I keep facing performance issues even with running LLA, no matter what compatibility-mode I try. It keeps showing lags 2 or 3 times a minute, what am I doing wrong (win10 64bit; i5-6500 with 3,2 GHz;16GB ram; NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB)??

propbeanie 06-17-18 08:27 AM

That horse of yours sounds strong enough to pull against a semi-tractor... You shouldn't have issues except around harbors or lots of planes. What mods are you running? How much do you have running in the background of Win10? Look in the SysTray (lower-right, by the clock), and see what-all is going there. If you are using a "Cloud" service, that might do the trick. Also, some AV scanners "live time" scanning might be hitting every file as the game opens them. Main thing though, is to open LAA again and select the SH4.exe file. Make certain that the LAA is set to "True". If you're in the "Basic" mode, it will have a tick mark in the check box when you select it. If you're using "Intermediate" or "Advanced" mode, it should say "LAA True". If not, then check the file in Windows Explorer, and make sure the Read-only attribute isn't set on its Properties page. Then use LAA and enable SH4.exe. Even still, in "high-traffic" areas of the game, the game's engine can't handle things smoothly, especially if you're using time compression... :salute:

I don't run very much next to gaming in general and as for mods; I tend to use never more than 4 at once (no large one) and usually one of my ship-mods I am working on. The funny thing is, all I have running + much more used to perfectly run on win7 (with an older much less powerful machine) and that's what get me...

As they say..... It's not the size of the worm that catches fish, it's how you wiggle it!

Since this older game was designed for specific computer specifications, having newer/better/bigger computers doesn't translate into better game play.

You need to check your Windows 10 setup and see if the NetFramework 4.0 is on your computer....it should be with Windows 10. Refer back to the earlier posts of this thread to know how to check for this.

Then you'll need to make sure you've downloaded the correct version of Large Address Aware that works with a 4.0 NetFramework......that's the download called "laa_2_0_4_NetFramework_4_5.zip". If you've downloaded/installed the "laa_2_0_4.zip"....you've chosen wrongly.

If you have downloaded the wrong version, I'm suspecting you'll need to remove completely the game from your computer and reinstall as my instructions provides.

If you're certain you are correct with the downloaded version of LAA, then your next step is to check the DirectX files by running the "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer" found HERE. This will update Windows 10 to include the past .dll's of the different DirectX versions that it no longer keeps in its current release. Yes that's right, DirectX doesn't keep tract of older files that are required to run older games. As a matter of fact, it removes the older files....you have to re add them in order to have them available for an older game/program to run correctly. That's what the Microsoft Runtime Web Installer will do.

If after checking/completing these tasks above, and you still feel you're not getting things to run correctly, you'll need to get back with us.
