I believe you're right, can't remember exactly, but I don't think code will allow the sonar switch and believe that's why later versions of TMO and RSRD switched the Kai to the Jap Type C platform to resolve the issue.

If you want it to work, DL TMO 2.5 and copy all the Kai files out and make a mod for 1.4.

Ok, I downloaded TMO 2.5. I'm not sure I know how to make a MOD, but would I be able to copy and paste the Kaibokan files from TMO 2.5 to my 1.4 game? Would I be able to see the Kaibokans in the scenarios and in the MUSEUM?

I don't see why not, but I would make a small mod instead of changing game files, that way if something messes up, just disable the mod. I can't say it would work in the museum, most people that make ships don't waste the time to add it to the museum files, in fact, most added ships will crash the museum file because they don't.

My PC with SH4 isn't hooked up, so I can't look at files and been awhile since I've played with ships. I believe you need the roster and sea files related to the Kai. I think the names.cfg is in one of these files, but I can't remember.

Create a folder, name it whatever you want for your mod. You then create folders inside it using the exact same paths, for instance.

Your mod folder
Data folder


Inside the data folder you would place all the folders related to the Kai, roster and sea folders, names cfg.

Activate jsgme

Try it.

I tried to install the two COKaibokan files by following the step-by-step mod installation from this post: MOD Installation Step by Step | Forums. I followed the steps as best as I could, replacing the TMO they talk about, with the COKaibokan's files. When I thought it was done, I tried to start the game, but the screen goes black right after the opening video, just before the loading screen. It also reduces my resolution. I erased everything I did to install the mod, but am still getting a black screen, sometimes I hear music along with the black screen. I have to use the TASK MANAGER to get off the black screen, and back to my desk top. Now I have to figure out how to get the game to start/load again. Any ideas as to what happened? I'm not very experienced at this mod stuff, so any suggestions on how to do it correctly would help. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean or did, did you try to make a mod or change files within TMO.

The link is dead to me, but it appears to be the old UBI link on how to install a mod, not make a mod or play with files? I assume you know how to install a previous mod with JSG since you already had TMO.

What files were the Kai folders in, the Sea folder? Did you also use use the files in the Roster folder and the files in the names.cfg?

As stated, I never advise changing game or other mod files, better to make your own mod, not that you can't, just if problems arise, it can be a mess. If you ever do change files within a mod, you need to deactivate the mod first, then make changes, then reactivate the mod. Don't make changes within the mod while it's activated.

If you made your own mod, maybe your paths are messed up or you didn't install all the needed files. I'll download TMO to this PC today so I can look at all the folders.

If your game is messed up, try deactivating your TMO, delete it and replace it with a clean version of TMO. If you've downloaded it before, you should have a copy you can unzip. If that doesn't work, you may have to delete the entire game and do a clean install.

Give me some more info, not sure if you're installing mods correctly with jsg, making mods or changing other mod files.

It also helps to keep a clean copy of your game data folder hidden somewhere outside of the game, that way if your base game gets corrupted, you can simply delete the data folder and replace it with a clean copy. If you get in the habit of learning to mod, you'll screw up numerous times, but it's how we learn, but keep clean copies of your mod and data folders.

One thing I can't say for sure, if 1.5 has other code that 1.4 doesn't regarding this ship. I don't think it would be an issue if you load all the right files, when I played 1.4 I added numerous ships and they're several mods that add ships for 1.4.

I found a copy of TMO 2.0 on this PC. If you get your issues resolved, I made a mod of the Kai, just PM me your email and I can send it to you if you want to try it.

I tried sending you a private message, but it said "Armistead has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space." Try sending the Kai mod to my SUBSIM profile as a private message. Hopefully it will work.

Don't believe you can send an attachment to a PM, but I cleared some space out if you want to email.
