In the Downloads section you can download the Sonar fix.

All changes should be made after pristine on the copy of SH4 you are planning to play & mod. Keep pristine clean and un-modified.

***** Commands.cfg changes

If you open \Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg in notepad and find;

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,,"Enter"

Change that to

[Cmd313]
Name=Fire_torpedo
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x0D,c,"Enter"

The lowercase c that is added changes the fire torpedo command from ENTER to CTRL+ENTER so the fish won't fire from accidentally hitting the ENTER key, since you have to hold down the CTRL key and hit ENTER to fire after making the change.

=================================
There are quite a few unused commands in SH4 that you can edit in to be useful. One is, "Maximum range at current speed" and another is the "Weather Report".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
To get, "Maximum range at current speed" to work in Stock SH4 v1.5:
In this walk-through I used "Shift+G" like TMO does.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Data\Menu\menu.txt
In menu.txt, here it is waiting to be used:

2847=Maximum range at current speed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, in: \Data\Cfg\Commands.cfg
Commands.cfg (open with a text editor like Notepad)

[Cmd257] <------------------ Step #1: Find "[Cmd257]"
Name=Report_time_to_turn
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250002
Key0=0x47,s,"Shift+G" <--------- Step #2: Add this string

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you also want the 'Weather Report' "Ctrl+W" make this [Cmd261] edit:

[Cmd261]
Name=Report_weather
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250006
Key0=0x57,c,"Ctrl+W" <--------- Step #3: Add this string

----------------------------------------------------------------------
To remember "Shift+G" and "Ctrl+W" add them to your in-Game F1 Help file:
In: Data\Menu\Help\Help.cfg
Help.cfg (open with a text editor like Notepad, and find the 'OTHER CONTROLS' section:

[Chapter1.Phrase6]
Phrase=<b>OTHER CONTROLS</b>| NumPad - Decrease Time Compression| NumPad + Increase Time Compression| Backspace Pause|

------------------------------- Step #4: and add Ctrl+W & Shift+G:

[Chapter1.Phrase6]
Phrase=<b>OTHER CONTROLS</b>| Ctrl+W Weather Report| Shift+G Maximum range at current speed| NumPad - Decrease Time Compression| NumPad + Increase Time Compression| Backspace Pause|

----------------------------------------------------------------------
As always back up any files you edit in case you make a mistake.

Happy Hunting!
