Manual TDC in SH1
 

High I just reinstalled SH1 on my computer after ages of negligence. But as a started my first scenario I could not find the mast heights of different ships in the recognition manual! Do anyone now where I can get them (all the old webpages are gone by now=)

Not all of them it appears:

I once made a slideruler to calculate range based on these markings and had the mastheights of the different shiptypes allready incorporated. I'll see if I can find it again on the internet otherwise I'll upload it somewhere. That is, if I can't find it on my harddrives aswel.

EDIT: found a link to download it. It's the part of the "Kim Ronhof's Manual Tools With Guide". You need a certain CAD program (Deltacad: http://www.deltacad.com/demo.html) to print them out.

Has alot of other SH1 stuff too:

Hi I just installed SH1 on my xp computer using Dosbox.
Works great but it will not run without the CD in the drive.
Anybody else have this problem?

I also have AOD, SH 2, SH3, and SH4.
SH 2 is good and I liked it but it will not run with my nVida card and I do not like the other three so I am back to the good one, SH1.

I may have to set up another computer to play SH 2, I do not know yet but for now I will stay with SH1.

If you've got a question you're not supposed to ask it in a thread that has a different topic. The original poster asked about manual targeting. You are asking about a no-CD solution. (Even if it's both for SH1) And asking the same thing in more than one thread isn't propper forum use either. First search the forum for the answer. (It has no doubt been asked before) And if you REALLY can't find it make your own topic with a descriptive title.

That said, did you do a full install? Maybe it is searching for the missing bigger video or brand animations (.smk files iirc, to /Bud) on the CD. Just copy those over to the appropriate folder on the drive. But maybe you also need to edit a config-file to change the path to these files. As it could be pointing to the CDrom drive. Just checked on an old pc with SH1 still on it: shpath.ini

Thanks for the welcome.
That said the problem was on a full install the file BUD did not load on the HD.
Copied it over and changed the BUD path in "SHPATH.INI" and now I do not need the CD in the drive.
