From what I've read Tomi_099's engine room may be available shortly, and I believe he's built a forward torpedo room.

I can almost see Tomi_099's VIIC/41 completely operational.

Thanks, TheBeast

Yes, yes, yes!!! This is the future of U Boat sim------SH5 is out....

Best regards

Hello guys, I need your help with this mod.

Whenever I approach the convoy, I have a CTD

Why don't you take a time out, or at least stop acting like a spoiled kid?

He didn't resurrect the thread to make a lame joke three years after the fact. He asked an honest question.

Ouchy. Really? Well i did say it was a beta release. Just curious, about where are you on the map, and what's the date?

I may consider tooling around on this mod again in the future. No idea when (I have a couple of games on my "I gotta play this" list), but I may consider it in the future. Right now I don't even have SH4 installed, so it's not like I have the files in front of me anymore.

Hello Ducimus!

Thank you for your answer! First mission, I´m 100 km from Dakar. It does not matterwhere I´m, because when approaching the convoy, game crash. I received on this first trip 3 contacts reports, but when I approached these convoys, I have CTD.

New SH4 1.5 (U-Boats mission) installation + only your mod (per JSGME).

Ducimus · 12-06-11, 03:17 PM

Probably a problem with the sea directory, ship type, group definitions in the convoy layer, or a all of the above.

More then likely when i was going through the convoy layers, i missed a ship type that is being called upon that doesn't exist in the sea directory, OR ship type incompatiblity. Meaning, ship type X is being called in the campaign files when in the sea and roster directory its being declared as ship type Y.

It's not an easy thing trying to do a supermod/megamod, mostly by yourself. Mistakes will be made. In hindsight i shouldn't have attempted this project after working on TMO. Burnout level was high. I think in the future, i will not be going "lonewolf" if i continue.

EDIT: I wonder though, did you have any mod installed beforehand? Maybe some residual directories or files got left in the SH4 data directory. I wonder this because if any convoy contact caused a CTD, then:

a.) People would have screamed at me very loudly by now

OR

b.) Nobody's bothered to even attempt genuine playthrough, so it hasn't been reported until now. After all this time, if this is the first genuine attempt to at a play on this mod (albeit a beta), i see no reason to continue it ever again. Seriously, it took this long before someone said something?

Yes, before Operation Monsun + OMEGU and TMO.

Ducimus · 12-07-11, 12:30 PM

Try a fresh install if you care to, to see if it sorts itself out. If every convoy contact would result in a CTD, then i believe someone would have labeled the release as a big fat "FAIL!!!one1111" by now.

Sepp von Ch. · 12-07-11, 12:52 PM

Yes, I try it.

EDIT: I reinstalled SH4 and I have the same problem as above...

Possible Environment Space issue,

Have you tried applying 4gig patch to SH4.exe?

The is also BCEDIT command line command that needs to be run in order to tell OS to allow using the extra environment space.

It may be a super large convoy that your PC can't handle I've seen a like 100 ship convoy off Africa in OM.

I have Vista 32 OS, 4GB RAM. I have original SH4 Gold Edition (SH4 + Uboat Mission). No patched with 4GB patch.

When I tried to patch my SH4.exe with 4GB patch for SH4, a "unknown version" message displayed. I do not know, what to do with this problem....

(SH3 is patched on my PC, no problem with sh3.exe).

No, rather no, because it happens with every convoy.

Download/Install CFF Eplorer Suite (Hex Editor). It come with a 4gig patch script 4GBPatch.cff for almost any EXE file.
