Hey everyone!

I'm trying to get into SH4 for the first time and figured FOTRSU would be as good a way as any to get into the game. I got FOTRSU up and running with the Nihon Maru and Nippon Kaigun mods from the FOTRSU page working as well. But I can't seem to get this mod to work. I've got FOTRSU v1.8 with the 4gb patch, as well as the upc patch and the Maru/Kaigun mods working through JSGME. I've tried changing the mod order and removing the Maru/Kaigun mods, but no luck. I also deleted the SH4 folder in my documents and don't have any old saves as I'm playing this for the first time on a fresh install (Steam version with the U-boat Missions so it should be v1.5 but I don't know how to check). The game itself will load just fine when I enable the mod (with all the other mods working no CTDs or missing textures or anything like that), but the mod just doesn't seem to activate or change anything. I loaded up a quick mission with the S-Type but it just has the normal interior with only the main room and the hydrophone room. The other subs seemed to be the same from what I could tell.

I'm not sure what else to do. The "readme" file says that this mod is for FOTRSU v1.7, but the v1.8 page on the forum links to that version and says that it should work. Was there some other installation instructions that I missed?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

The first thing to do scorch092 is to fire up JSGME and use the "Tasks..." link in the middle of the app window. Then click on "Export activated mods list to..." and choose "Clipboard" if you're going to Ctrl-V it right away into your next post, or "Text file" if you're wanting to copy that and post it later. Include the full report. It will include the path to your game install, and help immeasurably in diagnosing the issue.

Click on the SH4.exe file in your game folder, right-click, and choose "Properties" from the context menu, and look at the "Attributes" section at the bottom of the first "General" tab. Make certain the "Read-only" tick box is clear. If not, left-click on it to clear, and then OK out. Now run the 4Gig Patch or LAA again and see if the game runs with the mod. If not, check in the game folder, under "MODS", and see if the Fleetboat Interiors - Officer's Quarters (Fi-OQ) mod has a proper folder structure. It might be that the mod itself is a folder too deep, and is not actually being activatated. As for mod order, you would want

FotRSU v1.8
101_FotRSUv18_FixPak
Nippon Maru
Nihon Kaigun
Combined Roster (for NM & NK)
FI-OQ
FI-OQ_FotRSU_v1.8f_upcPatch
Optional mods from the Add-In Modz Pak

@Master Vickers (and all), hello!

I have this persistent issue with the sonarman. This is a Gato, but the problem occurs with all the classes in all the war. Simply, the sonarman never sees his station.

I´m living with this issue from the early war (Asiatic Fleet with pigboats), now in 1942 with a Porpoise.

This screenshot is from a launched war patrol for test, not my actual campaign. But in missions, war patrols and campaign is the same. The sonarman is misplaced.

This is FOTRSU 1.8 with this modlist:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[E:\SH4\MODS]

100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.8
101_FotRSUv18_FixPak

USS PIKE
BATTLEFLAGS_MERCHANT_SUNK_COUNT3
BATTLEFLAGS_WARSHIP_SUNK_COUNT1
TDW_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_v1_3_SH4

I think there isn´t any mod causing the problem, except the Fleetboat Interiors.

Is there something bad in my installation causing the issue? I try without FB interiors an the problem isn´t present.

If you know of this issue, please tell me if there is a solution.

Many thanks!

Fitzcarraldo

I'll try that. But if I remember well, that mod is only sounds. Not near my PC now, this night I'll report.

Many thanks!

That did it! I think it was put into an extra file when I extracted it for some reason. Thanks, propbeanie! I'm always surprised at how quick and helpful everyone is around here.

Cheers!
