PM me if you find any errors or related links that you feel should be here. That way I can keep them on the first post of this thread.

Makes it easier this way when helping others. I won't have to continuously remember where I answer JSGME questions on individual mods anymore! Search option is not always the quickest answer if buried deep in a thread. Sometimes, others will not even try to read the documentation. Always referring back to these threads or copying another modders reply elsewhere. Took me a while to find them again.

Multiple folder issue:
Some modders put multiple folders in their compressed file. You must uncompress the mod folder structure FIRST and check for accuracy of the modname\data folder level. I usually uncompress the mod to a temporary folder first and check for unneccesary folder levels. I move folders around until modname\data level is achieved. Once the folder structure is correct, I can drag and drop the mod to Game\MODS\. Now, the mod can be activated with JSGME and will work properly in the game.

Game\MODS\modname\data
NOT like this:
Game\MODS\modname\foldername\data

Mod enabling:
Generally speaking, look at individual folder and filename structure for a mod. Let new filenames overwrite over filenames from older mods, unless you want features of oldest mod.

JSGME Error Message something like:
X Access Violation at address 004823AC in module JSGME.exe. Read of address
00000004. Caused by error(s) in the ***.mep file.

Solution:
Look for the modlist name you are activating, usually *name*.mep. My *.mep files are in the My Documents folder. Open up the *.mep file with notepad, wordpad, or some other text editor.

The error you have is caused by three things.
Same mod name listed more than once in *.mep file. Delete one and save *.mep file
OR
A blank space between mods. Delete space and save mod.
OR
**.mep file is saved with the blinking cursor at next line or more from the last mod. The blinking cursor should be at the end of the last mod, NOT next line or more. I have had this error come up when all mods have been enabled OR when JSGME window shows some, but not all mods, appear in activated mods window. JSGME may or may not give you the message, "Not responding". You close JSGME, reopen program, and all mods are there.

Try reactivating modslist by JSGME now.


Another error type with JSGME.ini:
Check by using JSGME and disable all your mods. Nothing should be left behind in "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\!BACKUP folder." Nothing should be left behind in "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\!INSTLOGS" folder. Try to enable your modlist again.

If it does not work try a similar fix, like what happened to me for a power outage issue as I am disabling all mods at the moment.
Look for JSGME.ini in "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\JSGME.ini". This file became corrrupted. Open up the JSGME.ini file with notepad, wordpad, Word or some other text editor. Wordpad works well for me since it keeps formatting, low resource usage, but powerful enough.

It should look like something what is below. Mod names can be different.

CTDs and still can't fix, and you suspect a mod:
Have lots of mods installed like I do? I have more than 80 running at a time.
Start with a new campaign to isolate your corrupted mod problem.
How about trying 10 mods at a time? Then the next group of 10, etc until you can narrow it down within 10 mods of where the CTD is. Once you have a crash (CTD) with 10, then try the first 5, then the other remaining 5, etc.. It is called a 1/2 step method. Then take the first 3 of 5. No CTD yet. Then try last 2.

Longer approach
Uninstall all mods and start a new campaign, adding one mod at a time. It can be time consuming, but it is often the best way to work out which is the offending mod.

Good thread Mike :up:

May I suggest you to update the first post with the following link?

It is a quick tip on how to configure JSGME for working with more than one game, without having to install/copy it each time. Nothing new (I took this information from the JSGME release thread already linked in your post) but a reminder might help someone :)

SH5 Leftover Files issues:
Disable all mods and TDW patcher if used. Nothing should be left behind in "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\!BACKUP or "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\!INSTLOGS" folder. If there is something left in the !BACKUP folder, that is the path to follow and fix your problem.

The game is patched to version 1.2 which has file dates older than May 2010. Verify files at the root folder of Silent Hunter5, and at least the Silent Hunter5\data and all the data subfolders having dates older than May 2010.

Folder date changes give you a clue where to search first for files. See if any files are much newer than May 2010 in your stock game without mods and TDW patcher. Newer files than May 2010 are the ones that can cause a problem.


SH4 Leftover Files issues:
Disable all mods. Nothing should be left behind in "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 4\MODS\!BACKUP or "Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 4\MODS\!INSTLOGS" folder. If there is something left in the !BACKUP folder, that is the path to follow and fix your problem.

SH4 Wolves of the Pacific:
Can someone PM me with the date information I need? The game is patched to version 1.4 which has file dates older than ????. Verify files at the root folder of Silent Hunter4, and at least the Silent Hunter4\data and all the data subfolders having dates older than ????.

Folder date changes give you a clue where to search first for files. See if any files are much newer than ???? in your stock game without mods. Newer files than ???? are the ones that can cause a problem.

SH4 U-boat Missions:
The game is patched to version 1.5 which has file dates older than Dec 2007. Verify files at the root folder of Silent Hunter4, and at least the Silent Hunter4\data and all the data subfolders having dates older than Dec 2007.

Folder date changes give you a clue where to search first for files. See if any files are much newer than December 2007 in your stock game without mods. Newer files than December 2007 are the ones that can cause a problem.


SH3 Leftover Files issues:
Can someone PM me with the date information I need?
Does anyone have Silent Hunter 3 version 1.3b (or whatever the latest version is)? If so, please disable all mods, then look around in the root folder and data folder and data subfolders. I need the latest file dates (month and year is good) as a reference point for JSGME issues.

IIRC, GWX 3.0 installer overwites stock files permanently which I have installed.

[Mikemike47]

I discovered a problem with residual data similar to **.py script errors post (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2132812&postcount=10868) while trying to eliminate CTDs using smaller mod lists than I normally used. To my surprise, I found these files leftover in the Silent Hunter 5\data\Scripts\Menu folder shown below in the attachment. I alt-tab (or ctrl-alt-delete) and found the **.py error window. The problem turned out to be newer **.py files compared to stock.

Multiple times I tried to start a campaign using silentotto with a smaller modlist I was surprised to see how long the game was still taking to load.

I disabled all mods and the **.py files was still there. Over the months past, I have disabled all mods during CTD testing. Everyone remember silentotto CTDs!! I never thought to check for this Silent Hunter 5\data\Scripts\Menu folder folder possibility of errors before.

This time I manually deleted all **.py files that are not stock. Thank goodness for the archived 1.2 silent hunter DVD to compare to. I reenabled all mods according to my original mod list, disabled them multiple times for test purposes, BUT these **.py files are no longer there, which is supposed to happen.

[plj]

Interesting .. so it did not clean up like it should ... I'm gonna reinstall here, make a snapshot, and keep comparing .. see it the newUI py files are the only left-over's .. thanx :)

[Mikemike47]

I added this post to this thread after seeing another possibility of why CTDs or slower game loading happens in general.

Disable all your mods. Go to your Silent hunter 5 root folder. Delete all your Page******_Draggables.TDW files manually. The game will recreate them when you start another game.

1) Go to your Silent hunter 5 root folder. Delete all your TDW***.dll files manually.
2) Go to your Silent hunter 5\data\Scripts\Menu folder. Delete all the ****.py files that are newer than May 2010. Most **.py files are from Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC. One **.py file is Page CampaignSelection.py from Open Horizons II.

One or more of these suggestions may fix CTD issues or speed up game loading.

See this related link (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2133608&postcount=18).

Have you seen any pros/cons to use the snapshot feature vs. load/save profile? I only used the snapshot feature just recently for curiosity.

[plj]

I havent used the snapshot feature from JSGME yet. It's documentation talks about what it's usefull for a little .. it might be of use too, but atm I wont rely on it.

I was talking about snapshots of my install dir and using midnight commander and similar tools to file compare what should be identical situations:

compare stock install with mods placed in mod-dir, but not enabled VS install wheren mods have been enabled and disabled again.

compare modded game to game where mods have been disabled and enabled again.

compare different .mep orders, to eachother, see which files differ in the end result if the same mods have been used otherwise.

and the one I look forward to most: manually mod a game with the 70+ mods from sober's list .. and compare that to a JSGME modded one and other above results.

It looks like JSGME can do this too .. but atm, I dont trust JSGME untill I verified that what is does is what it is supposed to do :)

You're right, JSGME shouldn't be trusted all the time.

But, it is a great help to activate/deactivate mods. Even so, JSGME can mess things up and in that case Webster's instruction http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1228828&postcount=1 is the one for those who think a corrupted JSGME install is the culprit.

BTW - as I haven't seen this before - could you please explain the differnce between 'manually mod a game/JSGME modded'?

If you mean to apply mods by dropping them into the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 folder I can just say - that's a risky way to go.

When/if disabling mods in that folder this has proven to leave leftovers that mess the whole game up.

Disable all mods and TDW patcher if used. Then verify stock 1.2 folders and files having dates from May 2010 or older.

Mike,

I'm a bit confused by this statement. When you say "verify stock 1.2 folders and files having dates from May 2010 or older." do you mean the stock SH5 folder C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5 that is v1.2 enabled or are you referring to other folders/files?

Thanks

Game patched to 1.2 for files relating to May 2010. Not enabled as far as mods go. Disable all mods and TDW patcher. Verify the root folder C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5, at least the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\data and all data subfolders. I would not expect anything in the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\MODS or C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\Support folders to crash any game yet.

[Chigley]

Verify the root folder C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5, at least the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\data and all data subfolders.

If after checking for files and folders that are older than May 2010, what should I do with them if I find any?

[Mikemike47]

If after checking for files and folders that are older than May 2010, what should I do with them if I find any?

You should do nothing with the files that are older than May 2010:up:. Leave them as they are. That means they are the stock version 1.2 files, or versions not changed by patch 1.2. It is the newer than May 2010 :down:files we are concerned about for you.

If we find nothing wrong with files newer than May 2010, then we can look elsewhere.

With graphics and sound mods it usually doesn't matter. Mods that affect operational files should be installed between patrols.

SH3 questions are better asked in the SH3 forums. This forum is for SH5. :sunny:

Followup note on other residual data stated at post #6 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2133613&postcount=6). I found **.pj files days later leftover from Open Horizons in the data\Campaigns\CampaignProjects folder after I disabled ALL mods. Files and folders have been checked over and over as stock to eliminate a cause for CTDs. :ping::/\\!! :dead:@%^&^$$ that power outage:hmm2:!!!

Leave your mods enabled. Go to your Silent hunter 5 root folder. Delete all your Page******_Draggables.TDW files manually. The game will recreate them when you start another game. (IIRC, can someone else reconfirm this point and let me know. I do not want to give wrong advice.)

I guess I keep those since I have SH5 1.2 and follow this rule:

You should do nothing with the files that are older than May 2010. Leave them as they are. That means they are the stock version 1.2 files, or versions not changed by patch 1.2. It is the newer than May 2010 files we are concerned about for you.

This is not JSGME related question at all.

Best places to look is TDW Generic Patcher thread. Snapshots (for what to watch out for or not delete) will give you a clues where to start. Look for snapshot information somewhere on Sjizzle's how to use patcher thread. Some other captains may have talked about this somewhere within the [inf] sobers mega mod.

Just and FYI. I joined this group because I really want to enjoy SH5 and modding it seems the only way to do that. However, right out the gate, the first link I click here leads to "Invalid File ID Click here if your browser does not automatically redirect you."

Someone posted a link to a mediadire "JSGME v2.6.0.157" file but it seems to be part of an archive and not a zip/rar.

So, while I look forward to chatting with you all and helping support the community that has an obvious love for this game, can anyone point me in the right direction of the link so I can get started?

Since I made that misstake of uninstalling the game after some years (1-2) of no play. I want to resinstall it.
As far as I see I still have the - carefully selected/andjusted :) - mods and JSGME in old dir (win7). Could they work if I reinstall the game just simply to the same dir again?

Hi Wotan2

No, that's not gonna work. For a proper reinstall do the following.


1) Make a copy of
1a) C:\Users\Documents\SH5 folder and place it e.g. on your desktop. This is the folder where all your save games and game progress are stored
1b) C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder and save it, for example on your desktop

2) Uninstall SH5 (I use the CCleaner - free version. The CCleaner can even help you with finding all files that possibly remain on your hard drive after the uninstall

3) Delete the following folders
3a) C:\Users\Documents\SH5 folder
3b) C:\Ubisoft

4) Make sure there are no related files left on your hard drive. Sweep your hard drive registry to find possible leftovers. (Again, I use the CCleaner - free version)

5) Reboot your system

6) Install SH5

7) Reboot

8) Make sure SH5 gets properly patched - run SH5 once. SH5 should now get patched automatically and when you get to the SH5 main menu you should see v1.2.0 in top right corner.
If you don't see 1.2.0 this means SH5 didn't get patched during the reinstall.
If the automatic patching fails - run the;
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe
Then run SH5 again to check if you now see v1.2.0 in the SH5 main menu top right corner

9) Reboot your system and run SH5 to check it runs OK

10) Make a copy of the C:\Users\Documents\SH5 folder you have on your desktop (the one that we copied in point 1a) above)

11) Paste it into the C:\Users\Documents folder and let overwrite

12) Install JSGME and run it once - this should create a brand new "MODS" folder in the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 folder

13) Move whatever mods you want from the copy of the MODS folder on your desktop (the one that we copied in point 1b) above - one at a time) to this new C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder (that was created in point 12 above)

14) Activate whatever mods you want

Ready - get back to me with any questions. Anytime.

Good luck! :salute:

Hi Wotan2

Yes, I was afraid of that :/ Thanks for quick reply!

What about the mods itself? I am afraid as well...but anyone from my list below is still okay or all of them are outdated? You have a suggestion for a kinda quick refreshing/resetting method? I mean it was just so long to find and set them even when I played daily.

The mods should work I think but if you'd like a really good mod list you should try Sjizzle's.
If you don't wanna DL all ofe them jst pick a few but activate them in the order according to the list.

Hers's the list; http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=204308
