Japanese ship-naming conventions Follow different conventions from those typical in the West. Merchant ship names often contain the word Maru at the end (meaning circle), while warships are never named after people, but rather after inanimate objects such as mountains, islands, weather phenomena, or also animals.



The word Maru (丸 meaning "circle") is often attached to Japanese ship names. The first ship known to follow this practice was the Nippon Maru, flagship of daimyō Toyotomi Hideyoshi's 16th century fleet.

Several theories purport to explain this practice:

# The most common thought is that ships were thought of as floating castles, and the word referred to the defensive "circles" or Maru that protected the castle.

# The suffix Maru is often applied to words representing something beloved, and sailors applied this suffix to their ships.

# The term Maru is used in divination and represents perfection or completeness, or the ship as "a small world of its own".

# The myth of Hakudo Maru, is that a celestial being that came to earth and taught humans how to build ships. It is said that the name Maru is attached to a ship to secure celestial protection for itself as it travels.

# For the past few centuries, only non-warships bore the Maru ending.

# Its use was intended as a good hope naming convention that would allow a ship to leave port, travel the world, and return safely to home port: hence the complete circle or "round trip" arriving back at its origin unhurt.

Also note that "Hinomaru", or "sun-disc", is a name often applied to the national flag of Japan.

No comments generally means no issues... at least the way I see it...

That said, I do have to say, well done.. is working the ships are in the rec man... & in game.. thus far, haven't had any issues... that I can see of... that are connected to this mod... Did have 1 or 2 hiccups but that was related to FotRS-UEN v1.39... not Nippon Maru.

I'm a 108 downloader, I haven't finished this normal campaign yet so I'm saying nothng about that Nippon thingie until I've used it.
If you want some complaints old boy you can have this one for nothing, we've just spent another xmas and new year at sea again (who do I send the complaints to about that then?), do something about that s7rikeback because you're beginning to cramp our style. :haha:
My boys are wondering if this war is just a smokescreen so you landlubbers can nab all the pretty girlies and leave us sailors with the ugly ones, message sent to all submarines in the area, that should get some tongues wagging me thinks. :03:

I don't expect any more complaints from any other submariners but you can bet your bottom dollar that you'll get some more from us.

[Nemesis Bosseret]

I think i found an issue last night. Started a new campaign in the asiatic fleet in a S boat. On load in noticed the troop ship across the harbor was all black and missing textures. Removed Nippon Maru (v1.2) mod and textures returned. Reloaded and same issue returned. Yes im running FOTRS 1.46 or whatever the newest version is.

Hello Nemesis Bosseret,

Many thanks for the report. :salute:

I have managed to tracked down that texture issue to the British flagged European Built Liner. Last edit was dated 2018-11-18. :doh::o:hmmm:

This is now fixed, plus another small issue I found in the names.cfg. file.
I will upload Nippon_Maru_v1.2.1 tomorrow after work, which will have the changes included.

I've posted this also in the FOTRSU thread, but I figured I'd post it here as well in the hopes of getting some help.


I'm running into an issue where the Heiyo Maru (so far... can't be sure of any other ship yet) doesn't have textures and appears completely black, but this only happens while out on campaign and it looks just fine when I look at it in the Museum (idk about one-off missions yet as I've not found one there to check). From what I can tell, its only this ship and only out in the game world and I'm using a copied load order / mod list from someone who doesn't appear to have the same problem so I'm not really sure what could possibly be causing it.


Here is a copy of my current mod list:
100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.46_EN
Fleetboat_Interior-Officers_Quarters_FOTRSU_v1.46_EN
Realistic Floor Tiles for Fleetboat_Interior-Officers_Quarter

454_EasyAOB_FotRSU
901_Strategic_Map_Symbols
New Sounds for Fleetboat_Interior-Officer Quarters mod
EAX_SoundSim_FOTRSU_1.46
Enhanced Sounds for SH4
Carotio_IntercontinentalRadioPack
FOTRSU_1.46_SUB_SKINS_IN_4k
^^ torpd tex fix for FotRSU
Splash_effect_DC_bombs_bullets_shells_1.0_for_FOTR SU
Periscope wake splash for FOTRSU
Improved Gun Tracers - Torp Damage
Aircraft_reflections
TMONewDepthChargesType2


Any help in sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards KM_U669 :D:Kaleun_Salute:

[AviatorMan]

Bunch of snippy stuff about me not knowing anything of the game with maybe one relevant point....
I'll start by pointing out that I've got something like 1500 hours under my belt in highly modded installs of this game, so I know how the game works, and how mods work, though I will admit that its been several years since the last time I've played. Next I'll point out that this problem affects exactly one ship that I can find in the game, which would mean its very unlikely, though still remotely possible, that this is a settings issue or a hardware issue and much more likely that this is a texture issue. Furthermore, I've paired down my mod installation to just FORTS + Nippon Maru and am still getting the issue, so whatever the problem, it resides somewhere between those two mods so the issue is not "stacking mods without knowing what I'm doing".


With that all said, I'm running the game on the following system / settings:
-Windows 10 Pro
-I7-4770K
-32GB RAM
-GTX 2080S
-Game installed on an SSD
-SH4 version 1.5
-All graphical settings maxed


EDIT: I've now further narrowed this issue to only this mod as running without this mod fixes the issue. I'm currently trying to redownload the mod to see if I've gotten some corruption in the download that affected the texture in question, but other than that, I'm basically out of ideas as to why this mod might break that specific ship.

Hello AviatorMan,

Many thanks for the report - I will investigate and publish findings/fix later today.

Contrary to understanding mods and compatibilities, no other mod in your list would have a "Heiyo Maru" so your investigative work has paid off. :up:

Negative to RFB at this time, it needs a few more tweaks, and the campaign & mission files maybe different...

Bubblehead1980 has got confused and posted a Nippon Maru comment in the FotRSU thread, I have copied it here..

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2822691&postcount=4981

"Akatuki Maru" as displays in the ME, classified as AO (Replenishment Type 100) causes CTD when try to add it in ME. No roster or sea file found, nothing in the roster.cfg.

Obviously linked to another somehow but after looking over FOTRS, Nippon Maru, cant figure it out. Sure if spawns will likely cause CTD.

Please make sure all reports are posted in the correct threads please..

The Akatuki Maru is working as expected in-game;

No issues in the editor as seen here;
https://i.ibb.co/7vJ9KJM/Capture.png (https://ibb.co/Y27rh7n)

so the problem with the above unit in the Editor is of your own doing, so I would look more closely at what you are trying to do, and just because you cannot do or understand something, it does not mean that other peoples works are at fault as stated here by you "cant figure it out. Sure if spawns will likely cause CTD"

Now, to fix the above, you need a Clean install of SH4/FotRSU/Nippon Maru to cure your corrupt installation.

!!HansGruber!! has got confused and posted a Nippon Maru comment in the FotRSU thread, I have replied to the comments here;
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2822702&postcount=4983

I haven't downloaded 1.8 but in 1.7 there was a typo on the splash screen with the combined roster. Was that corrected?

Please make sure all reports and comments are posted in the correct threads please..

Hello!!HansGruber!!, Yes that typo has been fixed.

[Bubblehead1980]

issue resolved.

[s7rikeback]

issue resolved.Well done, perhaps next time, you will go back to basics before you attack someone else's works, seems to be a theme around here recently. !!!
Oh, and no apology, just a bog standard comment "issue resolved" !!!
Consider all my previous works to you, as they are, but do not expect me or any other member of FotRSU to help you further from this point forward. We will help people all day long, but when they steal/amend works from FotRSU and then blame us for CTD's, we are not interested...

Lol wow man, not sure where that came from, you are being a bit touchy/sensitive there, throwing unwarranted attitude, quite uncalled for.

I did not attack nor blame anything or anyone with FOTRS, not sure why would take it as a "attack", step back and assess, you are being being over sensitive or at minimum misinterpreted things. I pointed out what appeared to be a issue, there was conflicted that was previously undetected with a minor change I made to a ship, so no apology was required, I did nothing wrong. Bog comment? I stated issue resolved. What did you want a novel? lol

Stealing? Not "stealing" anything. Calm down, really. I have amended FOTRS slightly to my tastes, primarily so can conduct historically accurate night surface attacks, which as we know is a old issue with SH 4 itself.

Given your snappy response and another I've let slide before, actually you who should apologize, but I do not expect one :Kaleun_Wink::Kaleun_Wink::Kaleun_Cheers:

unwarranted attitude came from your first post, perhaps you should read it again...

Ermm "https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2822691&postcount=4981" statement seems very clear, you could not understand something, so you called my work into question...Stealing, borrowing is a grey area around here, so you posted in the FotRSU thread, so it's aimed at the team.

I will defend what we do, when I know it works... We will always apologize when needed, you can throw fancy animatrions all you want, it solves or proves nothing.


Yet - by your own message:
"I pointed out what appeared to be a issue, there was conflicted that was previously undetected with a minor change I made to a ship, so no apology was required"

Yet you made that change, it crashed your game - And you still made a post in the FotRSU thread about a possible CTD.

Did you check the ship, before your mod, did it work, simple question, yes or no ?


Sorry BH, That issue was not, FotRSU, nor Nippon Maru, So as I have said, get back to basics before you bitch about something you do not understand.

Lol you are being quite irrational here. Not sure how could take my original post as a "attack" on you or your work. There was no attack, no need to defend. Acting quite defensive for no reason to be honest. Insecure much? I do not attack other modders, come on, you're better than this!

I made a comment, in good faith, thinking I was pointing out a error in the mod, trying to help. I was wrong, resolved the issue, and said so. There was not attack, you're acting like a irrational jerk and it's not the first time, but I laughed it off before. This is completely unwarranted. Anyways, much ado about nothing.

Stumbled on to something today that I believe is related to Nippon Maru. The Ryuun Maru was showing on the nav map as TMO style black dot even though I do not have that mod activated. Ryuun Maru was sailing with Zintzu Maru which did appear correctly.

That probably happened when s7rikeback was making the TMO-Style Targeting stuff... Try this, if I did it correctly:

RyuunMaruShp.7z (https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsNqeJIusLGBpQSii8M2U6Wfk5G4?e=0ldxks)

That should be set-up like a mini-mod for your MODS folder, unzip and activate, and it should then over-write the "dot" in Nippon Maru. We'll put ole Eagle-Eye on it immediately - or rather, when he wakes-up in the morning... lol :salute:
