Finding a mod

Berserker · 02-25-19, 05:01 PM

I need help finding the "gurrilla suborn spy missions or a mod that is worded like that..It used to be in the bonus download section but is now missing...

The author of the mod was very private about its distribution. The fellow that was taking care of the site where the mod was being hosted has since passed away, and the site has gone dark. I'll see if I can raise anybody about it... In the meantime, do you have somewhere that can hold about 1.7 gig of a zip file available to you?

Yes I have about 2 tera free...

thing...HELP!!!!

It's not nice to fool Mother Windows with mods... Windows "protects" the system from rogue software (and the User). It will not allow changes to INI or CFG or similar extensions that are perceived as "System" files. Since Silent Hunter ~and~ JSGME were written in the Windows XP days, before the dawning of the "Protected" computer era of Windows Vista and UAC (User Access Control), they are not capable of communicating to Windows of their intentions to make changes to the files, hence Windows will see the changes as "unauthorized" and will restore the original copy of the files that it has in its "cache".

You need to move your Silent Hunter install out of the "C:\Program Files (x86)\" folder. How you do that depends upon the type of media your game came on. With most of the downloads (with the exception of Steam) and the disk versions, You can copy the install folder (ie: "Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific") and then paste that into another folder of your own making, such as "C:\Games|", or whatever you want to make. Do NOT put it in the "Root" of the drive. You can leave the original install in Program Files if you want, and use that whenever you want to play bone-stock. You will have to create new shortcuts to your new copy of the game, but that copy should take and run mods just fine. The game's original install already has all of the necessary registry entries needed to run that copy.

If you have Steam, it can be a bit of a bother, but possible to do similar. The more Steam games you have the more of a bother it is - unless you have a 2nd primary NTFS partition or hard drive. You do NOT want to use a back-up partition that the computer manufacturer may have used to keep the Restore in. If you have a 2nd drive to use, you just use the Steam app on your computer to create a new Library folder on the other drive, and install the game there. Presto-change-oh, a mod-able game. If you don't have a 2nd drive available to hold the Library, then you have to make changes "by hand", which can get really involved and time consuming if you have a lot of Steam games. The best write-up on that is Moving a Steam Installation and Games on the Steam support site. Read over that several times and make certain you are familiar with what you're doing, if you have to do that with Steam. I did it on my old laptop, but it might have been easier to just re-install everything. Doing a move though, you can walk away from it for a while. Whereas, with a re-install, you have to babysit the install process...

I have placed the game in D:/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific...Is this correct???

propbeanie · 02-26-19, 03:17 PM

That would work. It's what I did on my desktop.

Berserker · 02-26-19, 11:12 PM

Thank you Prop beanie that plan worked...Except for one little tiny thing...My external sub marker the umark no longer shows...I deleted it from tmo2.5 and silent hunter 4 wolves of the pacific and it showed up while playing but now its gone...

i have it from a reliable source that Spyron should be back on a website near you in a month or so.
i know you (berseker) secured a copy but i wanted to let others know just in case there is additional interest.
more to come....stay tuned.

Berserker · 02-27-19, 05:35 PM

I found the problem...Microsoft dumped some more updates on me I called att and one of there techs worked on my machine and seems to have fixed it...Everyone out there if your sh4 suddenly stops working contact a reputable tech and have them fix it...

We have a IT / networking person and a programmer in our office. They call windows updates "Microsoft approved viruses"

Hey guys,
I'm facing the same problem. I heard many good things about this mod but can't find it anywhere. Would anyone be so kind and share it?
