This is a common occurance with .RAR files if you use WinRAR to extract them. Though I could see it happening to .7z files if you use WinRAR for that as well.

You mean the folders it created under the SHIV main folder?

If so I just checked and the folders being created are nammed OpsMonsun_V705, OMv704_to_V720, and OMv720_Patch2.

I didnt extract the zip files to the mod folder, I extracted them to the SHIV save folder I created on my desktop (as per the UBI forums JSGME tips) then I dragged the extracted folder over to the correct nammed folder under mods.

I am going to try something I think what I might have screwed up is I have two folders with the same name as you said under mods. I have the folder I created and the folder that was created when i extracted the mod.

Alright. Check each one and make sure they aren't an extra folder deep.

For example, make sure you don't have Operation Monsun_v705 within a folder called Operation Monsun_v705. If so, you'll have to move the files within up a level, otherwise JSGME won't install them correctly. The Data and any support folders should be readily visible within each seperate mod folder.

Second, you need to move them into your SH4 install directory, into the MODS folder. JSGME can't see them to install them otherwise. Once they're there, it should just be the process of setting up the load order and okaying any overwrites when the message pops up. It's essential that files are overwritten as that's how the mods are designed to work.

Thats what it was, all the mods were within a folder that I created under MODS so I moved them out and just under mods and deleted the folders I created. I am in the process of using JSGME to install the mods in order right now.

Things seem to be working now, no longer did V705 create folders of V705 under SHIV main directory but activating V705 to V720 gave me a promp to over write the files that was altered by V705.

~Update~

Well I got all the german careers going back to 1939. Only problem is I get a CTD when I try to go on my next patrol from my last saved mission. I did apply these changes when I was at my base but I guess its a corrupt save now cause I dont have the dual 3cm AA guns on my Type XVIII U-boat but its no big deal I can always start another career.

For your Type VII to continue with a valid mission

To fix, go to c:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\My Documents\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\

find your last save and open CareerTrack.upc with wordpad

find the following entry

PlayerCurrentObjectiveCode=WAP_Coastal_2
PlayerDefaultObjectives=ID1
PlayerCurrentObjectives=ID1

and change to

PlayerCurrentObjectiveCode=WesternApproach
PlayerDefaultObjectives=ID1
PlayerCurrentObjectives=ID256

Worked like a charm.. now a short trip to get me a full crew and then off into the deep

Just make sure you don't take Bernard with you.

[looney]

Dunno for sure but I think I got 2 of those on my crew

1 of them shot down 2 hudsons and a blenheim down last short trip


P.s. what are the end dates for the other subs?

All OM patches are roll-ups

Install instructions
Only install “in port”

Remove old patch
Add new patch

Readme


OM v720 Patch 3

Adjustments to the Merchant Damage model

Adjustments to the MAD Sensor

Minor bug fixes to the Flotillas.upc file

Added Mk24 FIDO to the following aircraft: PB4Y, Liberator V, Catalina Mk1A, Catalina MkIV, PBY5, PBY5A

Special Notes about the MK24 FIDO:

Because of the system design of SH4, it is “not possible” to create a “true” air launch homing torpedo, therefore the MK24 in OM from a guidance point of view act as a straight run air launch MK13. To emulate the MK24 I made some changes to .sim / .zon files that will make the MK24 a “sub killer” if your submarine is within 30 meters of the surface. The 3D Model is from the MK27

The Mk24 will become available to USN/RAF units in Aug 1943. As far as weapons loadout on the various aircraft, they will have a maximum of 2 Mk24 along with there other on board weapons. Please note that if you fail to take evasive action the Mk24 is going to sink your boat with a single hit.

Wow thanks Lurker you're the best! Best SH4 mod ever!

[Schultzy]

Thank you for your continued (brilliant) work on OM. It's staggeringly good. Much appreciated.

you should have read the OMv600 readme that is in Support\OM_Readme_files, you would have seen this

You will see that even though the 11th / 13th Flotillas were headquartered at Bergen / Trondheim, the vast majority of the patrols started and end at Kirkenes, Hammerfest, Harstad and Narvik. When you start a career you with see one of the following Flotilla ID’s 11th Flotilla (Forward), 13th Flotilla (Forward), 14th Flotilla or FdU Norway. A special note about FdU Norway, before the 11th Flotilla was established in July 1942, all Uboats sent north from various front line flotillas were under their operational control.

As designed, These ships came from SH3 and they will not show damage like the "stock" SH4 ships

Wow thats pretty cool.

I was looking through the Rec Manual on Patrol and saw the hundreds of ships you had added. I was wondering where you had gotten them, at first I thought you guys had constructed them all from scratch. Looking at that now it would have probably taken more man hours than you guys could afford. Good thinking!

Hello guys,

first sorry for my english, i came from Germany and could better talk then write it ;-)

Ok my problems with Operation Monsun (OM): For long times i played SH3 with WAC4.1, was very nice, a bit unstable ok, but very well made. Now i found OM und took out the old dirty SH4 Box, installed it...and yes it looks very fine, but i have no Radio Messages (whats going on in the War, whos my friend und who not...), nothing its completly silent (Sep. 39 it shouldnt be...). Than i looked into the messages txt. in the Campaing Files, its the Stock U-Boat Mission File, which begins 1943...

next problem is, there are no Convoys...nowhere and many 0 Byte Files in the: SH4\MODS\OpsMonsun_V705\Data\Campaigns\CampaignGE\ CampaignData Folder, especially the allies_convoys Files are 0 Byte. Is this normal and i only have to search more, or is there somewhere a Problem with my installation, which is like these:

Stock SH4 1.5
OpsMonsun_v705
OmV705_to_V720
OmV720_Patch3
DBSM_SH4
DBSM_SH4_Speech_Fix
Real_Enviroment

Thats all, thanks for your replies...

regards
Sven
