Vicker, your working speed and ability is as crazy good as your pictures :up:
Thanks very much!


Best greetings,
:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:XS

To add to my above report about performance with these additional rooms and open hatches, I have consulted various good links about how and when to cap FPS, and wether to use VSynch=ON in the game settings, this also to run at best the FOtRSU mod package. Here my conclusions:

a)
Set Vsynch=ON in the game.

If you have a 60 Hz monitor you will get 60 FPS with a larger frame delay and latency, but the good is: With any reasonable GPU the FPS will not drop much for you to see a real difference, and you will get rid of screen tearing and input lags. Also good is that your GPU load will be reduced compared to illimited FPS and Vsynch OFF.

b)
Set Vynch=OFF in the game, but...

First run the game with a tool that tells you the FPS onscreen. If you see a very large number like 500+ FPS while in your sub and moving, then you can safely set a framecap of 2x your monitor refresh rate, say 120 if you have a 60 Hz monitor. With that, if you don't get tearing or imput lag, great :) Very good is: Even if the FPS drop during game, you will never see or notice this at such high FPS.
From there, measure your GPU load, if it's just below 50% with a good GPU you are just fine, if it's around 20-30% you can raise the cap, the more FPS the better until you get around 40%-60% load and your GPU temperature doesn't get too high.

If instead you get tearing after capping your FPS at 2x your monitor Hz, then you need to raise the cap until it goes away while still not exceeding 50-60% GPU load. With a lower card this may not be possible, so better go with a) and set Vsynch=ON, also if your GPU load is around 70-80+% which is not necessary for this older game.


I hope this little excursion in the FPS world helps!

For a quick look in-game, use <Ctrl><F8> to get a frame rate displayed near the top-center of the screen. It tries to do "real-time", and therefore will lead to an almost unreadable numbering though. As far as I know, it does not have a "hold" for lowest or highest, much less an average... But it can give you a rough idea. :salute:

This is brilliant!

I don't suppose, however, there will be a version for RFB? Downloading anyway, but just wondering.

Thanks!

maybe!

Re: Fleetboat Interior: Officers Quarters...
 

Quick question....

With the updated mod, what's the prescribed install orders... as there is no read me included.

Currently, I have the 1 released before the latest release & am out of the barn on patrol...

with that, is this safe to install on the fly or do I need to wait until I get back to the barn... or at worst, dump career & fire a fresh bullet aka career.???

Awaiting orders...

I have this over the SH4 1.5 game and it works fine:


Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Games\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\MODS]

100_FalloftheRisingSun_UltimateEdition_v1.004.a_EN
Fleetboat_Interior-Officers_Quarters_FOTRSU1.004.a



XS

Should work anytime

Re: Fleetboat Interior: Officers Quarters...
 

Ok, what I needed to know... have it d/l'ed & unpacked, will remove the other mod, after backing it out via JSGME, drop the new mod back in & install then.

Thanks for the quick response back.

Thanks vickers03 :Kaleun_Salute:

Sargo added.


Wardroom music is changed - you now have full control over
your gramophone music with the wardroom soundsystem:

i tried to add a 3d radio too but i can't find the commands to control it. Must be hardcoded:hmmm:

I didn't try if it works with Vickers Interiors. RFB has the Vickers interiors for Gatos and Balaos. Try it....

Regards.

I would like to slightly increase all camera speeds when using cursor keys. There is a mod which does that by modifying the camera.dat file but it's most likely not compatible with your work here.

Problem is also that its a binary file which cannot simply be edited manually.
Is there any solution?


Thanks!
XS

you can edit the cameras.dat with silent editor.

Ah, that's good news, thank you, and sorry to interrupt you :haha:


Cheers,

I have a ctd everytime I start a mission with a balao or salmon/sargo class. Just when the mission start as I push a button, whatever, it ctd to desktop. I guess it s some problem with the options, I have an integrated video card, on an Asus laptop with 8 gb of ram, I used the laa tool and disabled vys. I donno why it do it. Seems only the Gato work and the s class

ArditoCorsaro, what cpu is in your computer, or the computer model, and which version of Windows do you have - and is it a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows? They do work fine in my newer Win10x64 laptop with a Core i5 processor and onboard Intel graphics. :salute:

It's an Intel dual core, of 5 or 6 years ago, with it I play also the newest total war games with no problem but with the graphic options medium, the dials are white too when the boat ctd. Windows 8 64 bit. I never had problems with sh4 and his mods that s the first time. Maybe must try to low the graphic options?, at first I tough it could be the ruim uniform mod, but also disabling it and putting the compatibility options to win 8, the balao work, but the salmon sargo still to ctd with white dials

Edit when it ctd it was ever in single missions

I wonder if your computer has a setting for the "shared" RAM for the video card, to where you can direct more resource to the video display?... I'll try to get my Win8 laptop to fire up later today (its battery will no longer take a charge), and see what I can find in that. On this Win10 laptop, it shows an Intel HD Graphics 620 with 4035mb of shared RAM, with 4163mb available. I do not see anywhere in this to adjust those figures though. With one of my older Intel laptops (P4??), there was a little applet in Windows to adjust that figure for shared RAM, which helped immensely in it being able to run certain programs. :salute:

Yes but not with all games. I should go in the bios for that. BTW My battery too is burned. BTW I used the lag tool of fotrsu and seem to work. Maybe it was that. Also with ruim work. It seems but the sub s dials are ****ed up, all black, in the control room. Damn ahaha seems whenever I close a flooding there s another ready to arrive
I was not using well the fotrsu tools, since my English is not perfect sometime I don't understand the mod s thread completely

The dials doing 12 O'Clock High, or going all white or all black can be a sign of insufficient memory. While the anti-lag can cap the refresh rate and hence the fps, FotRSU also defaults to having the "V-Sync" enabled. Technically, those two should not be used together. The display might be "thrashing" from that, basically eating the video stream bandwidth. Try disabling one or the other of those.

I opened the old battery for the old laptop the other day, thinking that I could get the numbers off of the four cells used in it, and order new cells from a parts store to rebuild the set. However, even the cells are no longer manufactured... sigh. So I am now like Doctor Frankenstein, going about to and fro, looking for "dead" laptops to steal their battery parts from to rebuild my "monster" with (it is already cobbled together with parts from 3 laptops)... :O: - that way, I wouldn't have to give my wife this laptop anytime she walks in the door :har: :salute:
