Very nice indeed ! I like the brass better too, and you made the front page !
Thank you sir.

Because of the very nice screen shot that you posted, might ask those assembled what the "lock" at the left end of the tool bar locks and unlocks ? I can find no reference to its use. My pre-order copy only arrived yesterday giving me some little excuse for my ignorance.
I'll still ask stupid questions after I've been fooling around with the game for months, but today I can hide behind this excuse. ;-)

Thanks gents,
Old Dog

The "lock" forces the lower bar to stay on the screen. If you "unlock" it, that tool/status bar autohides. You have to put the mouse cursor at the bottom edge of the screen to be able to see the bar (options for the chosen station, fuel/battery/compressed air/CO2 levels, etc). You still see the tabs for the stations and three dials, but that's pretty much it.

Many thanks to you Tobowsi, and welcome aboard.
Smart and generous is a great combination.

I wish I could play the game so I could d/l this Mod!!

the shiny brass rocks!!:rock: I will use that one :up:

thanks!

D / L'd, Thanks Jimi ! :up:

A little thing, but btter than vanilla for sure

I've never installed a mod before. Where do I extract the file to?

Thanks.

An application called JSGME will make your mod installing a lot easier. Just put the jsgme.exe into your SH4 folder.

It will create a mod folder in your sh4 directory when you first run it. Put all compatible mods in here. A compatible mod will be in the folder structure of: Modname\Data
So all mods will be in the mods folder: SH4\Mods\Modname\Data
Run the JSGME application to activate the mods you want.

Get the latest version of JoneSoft Generic Mod enabler here: http://www.users.on.net/%7Ejscones/s...sgme_setup.exe

Can someone please help? I've installed JSGME and d/l this mod but it will not show up in game. I have JSGME in my main SH4 folder, the mods folder was created and I've put my downloaded mods into this. I run JSGME and activate the mod. When I load the game, it does not show up.

I've used this tool with SH3 so I don't know what's going on.

At first copy the JSGME.exe in the SH4 Main Folder. Create an Folder named "MODS" and insert my unrared Folder. Then start the JSGME.exe, cklick on the mod and on ENABLE.

That's all.

I dont even have SH4 or plan on buying it any time soon, but you bet yours I am collecting the mods. Thanks :up:

There are many small details in the UI in this game that ruin the "1940s" immersion. Nearly all of the icons have a very modern, computerish look, and the push buttons are very 1970's.

So here is a challenge, and I'm not sure how you would do this, but could the buttons be made to look more like somthing you would actually see on a 1930/40s sub, and could the icons have a period feel to them too?

(this of course would be less of an issue if they had just put more clickable controls in the 3d interior!)

great mod :up:

Score!!!

jimimadrid, thanks for your help. I've gotten one mod to work (the small chronometer) but others won't and I believe it is because they are rar files. How do you "un-rar" them??? I appreciate it.

Yup this is right on. Luv the green light option.:up: :up: :up:

Just go here http://www.rarlab.com/ and download the .rar of your choice (english if that is your preference). Its like winzip.....

Very nice, thanks for sharing.:up:

Hey, thanks for your help--works great now!
