Question: Is everyone's game installation in a directory called \Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific, or are there people with \Wolves of the Pacific, missing the Silent Hunter part?

Was that the default install location for your factory disk? I'm only looking at default installation directories, because that is what SH4CMS looks to confirm before it does its thing.
Up until now I have considered any non-standard installation points as almost certainly not containing untouched original game files. Do you think it would be worthwhile to ask what directory the game is installed to and then have a test to see if the game files are original? I'm not sure what tests would be appropriate, and I'm not sure how I would test without copyright violation. I have to do some thinking on that.

You could use the file version and size, or meta data, if you can use either in a batch file... I'm not sure how BL!TZKR!EG is doing his stuff in SH3.
I forgot to look at my installation on the other machine, and now I'm just a wee bit away from it, so it'll be a while before I can see mine again. sigh. oldmanitis strikes again... |

Some may ask, why not just use the GUI to do your magic with SH4 Corruption Management System? Operations take a long time and maybe old Rockin Robbins should get with the modern age and just use the GUI.
Well, here's your answer. Windows explorer, which you have to call to do file operations, is 10 times slower than the command line when working with large, complicated directory trees like.....Silent Hunter 4 uses! So these operations, which can take 10 minutes, would take an hour and 40 minutes with Windows GUI! That's just not acceptable. And that's why SH4CMS uses batch files. They're hands down the best tool for the job.

HOOOOOOO-RAY!
I had to use SH4CMS today and it worked like a CHARM, IT DID!! Until now I've had to start over every time a corruption occurred and I couldn't get past two patrols. Thanks Rockin' Robbins for all you do here and on YouTube! My file is located in: C:\Games\Wolves of the Pacific Only mod currently used is FOTRSU. I uninstalled the mod with JSGME. Ran the fix and reinstalled the mod. Could I have just run the fix for FOTRSU with uninstalling and reinstalling the mod? THANKS AGAIN. WHAT A PROGRAM! WHOOP WHOOP |

I never install programs into default locations unless by design they were written to only run on the system drive. I have five drives and only the OS goes on my system drive. I like keeping my OS as clean as possible.
I love this idea but if I have read everything correctly if I install the game in let's say my F: in a dir called SH4 this application will not work?? It is only for installs in the default location?

If you are familiar with old DOS command lines, you can edit the batch files to work the way you want them to...

I think it will work on any drive you have the game installed as long as you install the SH4CMS in the proper folders alongside SH4. There are detailed instructions with the download about which folders you need and where to put it "parallel" to your SH4 folder wherever that may be
I was playing off an external drive "E" and it worked fine when I had to use it. But then again, you all know far more about computers than I do. I'm a computer moron. And I know it. |

You, good sir, are correct, and a level higher than me with the computer knowledge chazsi! I think I'm reverting back to the 70's at times, when a "computer" was a Texas Instruments multi-function calculator, or maybe it's the 80's and my C-64... - I had completely gorfotten about Rockin Robbins efforts to make the utility ambidextrous like that...
