Multi copies of SH4

Hawke21837 · 07-08-17, 12:15 PM

This ? is for Webster,
I am using your system of multi SH4 sceneroes because I had trouble with The Multi dll ptoblem as many simmers have had. I have created 5 games and named them as follows; SH4REG,SH4OM, SH4TMO , SH4TAB, and SH4FOTRS. Each one has its own jsgme folder and I created a exe start for each. Each game hasd started and played fine until I saved them , Hence , the problem I am having is this, when saving the game for use later and then loading to continue, I do not have the correct save. Instead the save from one of the other games is also in the save folder. So this is my problem. Until the MULTI dll is fixed I may remove all and reinstall SH4 Gold Edition using one of the addons probably FOTRS.
Any help would be greatly appriecated.

Hello H
I do not know if this is your problem.
You can have multiple individual games at anytime.
Your saved games folder ie named, SH4 default, or GFO created second new game folder, can only contain 3 digits.
The ideal tool to use is:
Silent Hunter 4 Corruption Management System (SH4CMS)

The MultiSH4 v1.5 applet is what is used to create Save folders for each of the games. You'll have to read up on that, and if you use RR's Corruption Management System, definitely read up on it's use. There are limitations with each. There's a little more flexibility with doing it manually, like you are, with a copy of MultiSH4 in each of the game folders to set your "Save" folder, but RR's little utility, once you get it set up, is so much easier to use, and does all the hard stuff for you. All you have to do is wait on the computer to respond and finish...
