[REL] Eye Patch for Missing Eyes and Staring Crew

when i looked at it for GFO i found that people who didnt have a problem with eyes before were actually given the missing eyeball bug when i included these files.

you probably have a better idea why that is then i do but it was something i found issue with.

it seems some peoples computers get the bug and others dont and i even got comments that two people with the same hardware, one had missing eyes and the other didnt so i think drivers effect it too.

i hope this info is usefull in some way

ducimus has been around a long time and chose to just leave it at that and not get into a further discussion about it.

i would caution you to remember that people help others when they feel the help is appreciated but we are not hear to "serve" you or to be treated as thou we owe you help in any way.

please remember you are "asking" for help and you should try to be less critical of someone elses mod. if you dont like it thats fine and saying why you dont like it is fine too but its not necessary to insult others work.




this comment was totally out of line and uncalled for and serves no purpose except to invite further negative comments.

Agreed. It's not necessary to be sarcastic and rude to other members. Infraction given.

I read some people had sucess with JSGME but I can't find the latest version for sh4. Really would love some help as I have no other showstopping issues with this game but the eye thing is unbarable.

in most cases its driver related so update your video drivers to the latest version and that should fix the eyes, if not the eye fix should work for you after you update your drivers.

in rare cases it could be a video card issue, what video card are you using and what is the driver version you are using for it?

rfxcasey, there are two files in use in TMO that mirror some funtionality in each other. The mod combines the extras that Ducimus put into TMO in the two files, which was something to do with the models in 1.5 being better defined. Having the extra file with this mod causes problems, due to the way the game will load everything up.

If you install the mod with JSGME, then the extra file will be deleted as it has an instruction for JSGME to remove the extra file. If you don't install the mod with JSGME, you will get duplicate IDs and it won't work the way it was intended. If you want to install the mod manually, you need to put the new file in place and remove the extra one by hand, I think it's called marine2.dat. Either way, there should only be one marine*.dat file in the directory.

In short, installing with JSGME will remove the extra file for you and is much easier. You don't need a specific version of JSGME for Silent Hunter, as it's not tied to the game you use it on. If you need any more help, PM me.

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I can't seem to find any reference to this bug apart from this one. Having recently installed UBM, I noticed that my watch crew are rather lacking in the visual department! I tried the mod listed here, but the result is all crew losing their eyes (poor bastards).

Does anyone have a fix, or know of one aside from this? I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

[Nisgeis]

Did you take the individual folder out of the main one? E.G. there's one folder called 'Eye Patch Pack' and in that there are three sub folders. If your JSGME says 'Eye Patch Pack' then it isn't installed poperley.

[Nordmann]

I used the sub folder "Eye Patch for Stock", and installed using JSGME. As I said earlier, the result is missing eyes across my entire crew, whereas before it was just the watch. It's a damned odd bug, not game-breaking, but it does rather spoil the immersion.

[Nisgeis]

There was talk of there being a 'no eyes' anti-piracy device, but apart from that and this problem here, where the eyes are still there, but just way back inside their heads, no idea. Sorry.

[Nordmann]

Weird. I didn't have this problem with 1.4, so it seems as if 1.5 introduced it, at least for me.

[Frederf]

This fix makes the eyes not disappear but has the problem that they don't do away >4x TC so while the sailor models go away, the eye stay at higher TC floating alone. Is this fixable?

[IRISH4Life]

Yes when I was using 1.4 it did that. If I went to time lapse the watch would disappear but his eyes would still be there. It was sort of funny. Felt like I was being watched. havent had the issue with the eyes since I went to 1.05.

Hi there, many thanks for this fix, it was really really bothering me and I was close to returning to the flight sim world beforehand!

I couldn't get the fix to work until I read some chap's post from a page or so back that mentioned that you have to delete marine2 file before applying the fix, perhaps this info should be added to the first post and readme.

Cheers Dom

[Daniel Jackson]

Thanks for this patch. Really took care of something I found very annoying. : )

[Nordmann]

Right, it's dragging up time again, because I've still got this issue and it's damned frustrating!

Using this fix, my watch are given eyes (pure white, no other detail), but the rest of the crew have black pits. I have verified, by clipping into the models, that the eyes have been moved back into their heads.

Now, I don't know what the hell's going on, the fix works for some, but not others. The problem was not present when I was using 1.4, as soon as I installed UBM, the problem appeared (along with missing gauges in most of the Fleet Boat bridges).

Does anyone have any further solutions that may work? Because if not, it seems I'm going to have to shelve SH4 and go back to SH3, which at least does not have ridiculous graphical issues.

Really, so what WAS exactly the insulting part of my original post? You never did clarify. Cause as far as I am concerned there was none and none intended, only the one perceived incorrectly. Perhaps YOU didn't notice the at the end of my post. I don't feel I should have to justify my opinion when it is misconstrued (wrongly) as an insult. If anything I feel I was insulted by the smearing of my intentions. There is no sense in reasoning then, though I tried it was of no use. You'll probably take that as an insult too. Though it wasn't, just my opinion. Please don't respond to this post even though you won't be able to resist. You got your way, I am not coming back here so that should make you happy. Mission accomplished.
