Patches question

[jason210]

Hi

Haven't played SH4 and have just installed it and tried it out. What are the best mods to install on the SH4 to get the best realism, best graphcis and sound?

Thanks
jason

There is no 'best'. There are a lot of choices. Both Real Fleet Boat and Trigger Maru Overhauled provide excellent compilations of mods plus modifications of their own. Available in the mod forum.

You need to upgrade your graphic card to play SH4+mods without problem.

I'm using Pacific Environment 5, and ROW Sound Effects 9.0. Great upgrades on video and especially the sound.

You video card should be fine. I'm running Windows 2000 Pro, with 2 gig RAM, and a nVidia 7200 256mb card (I wanted to go to 512, but that will require a MOBO change - maybe later.)

[Blow Negative]

Yes, I think so. Sound Editor 9.0 here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IN68GMIR

Use the JSGME Modding Tool to install, works great!

[ReallyDedPoet]

Yeah, won't hurt your visuals.

RDPA few weeks ago I tried for HOURS to get it installed properly on my Vista system. Going from memory, the first time I ran the program it was supposed to create some kind of config folders. I couldn't get it to do so in the same directory, and I didn't want to do a full reinstall.

Yeah, I'm kinda new at this modding stuff. :doh:

From the man himself, have a look as far as JSGME and Vista ( if you have already not done so ): Here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=673257&postcount=2)

Thanks for the link. I found that awhile back as well, but each time I subsequently ran the software I came into the same problem.

Would LOVE to get this fixed, though ... so if you have any ideas I'm totally open to listening.

Contact Avgwarhawk, I am pretty sure he is running Vista\JSGME with no problems.

As an aside, I was able to copy the sound files into my base install no problem...

Now to get to work on the REALLY cool stuff!

I run Vista and wondered why it didn't work, then realized it had to be installed in the root folder of SH4, ran the JSGME exe from there and in a blink it created a Mods folder. After that just copy all the mods to the mods folder and run JSGME.exe to activate them, works like a charm :)

Patches?

We don't need no stinkin patches.


Sorry. It sounded like batches.

Well, I'll try it again unless I'm remembering it wrong. Thanks for the help, all the same!

Never heard of a mirror directory. I think a lot of folks have problems because of the "User Account Control". I have this de-activated and there is only one account on my computer... me, as administrator. This computer doesn't ask me for permission to do anything and allows me to install anything I want. It's just like running XP or Win 98.

Good call-that UAC switch fixed most of my Vista and game software conflict problems. "Run as Admin" is also useful.
