Missing Stop Watch with TMO 1.9 - Help!!!
 

Hi Anyone know what might be going wrong on my system. I have SH4 UBM (1.5) installed and when i activate TMO 1.9 i loose me stop watch function in the game! i've tried installed and reinstalling, no joy. :cry: I even have the exact same configuration running on my notebook and its perfect ie X key or UI brings up the stop watch no prob(even did a file for file copy), Any help most welcome.
Cheers
Harry

Welcome aboard,
Do you have any other mods running?

Hi Thanks for the fast reply....Well, i do have the TMO 1.9 patch, and Max optics for TMO but its still happens if i strip them all out and just leave in TMO 1.9 ... also remember its fine will all the mods on my notebook... really odd this.

If you have only TMO 1.9 and no other mods running, I have no clue what your problem could be, but I have two suggestions.
1) download and install this mod: http://rapidshare.com/files/22030472/Clock.dds.html
2) if this doesn't solve your problem, compare the menu 1026_768.ini from your laptop install with the desktop install (use WinMerge) and see if there is a difference.
If this doesn't help, you might try a PM to Decimus.

Hi Thanks for taking the time to help with this. I'm not quite sure what to do with the Clock.dds file, i copied it over the one in the unpacked TMO subdirectory then installed TMO but no change... Just swapped out TMO for RFB and that works fine, just seems that my desktop doesn't like TMO

Right heres what I've found, with Stock and RFB my Clock works, with FOTRS and TMO its doesn't, "X" just wont make the clock appear... while i can play of course i like TMO the best, followed by FOTRS (both of which i cant get to work with the clock) I've tried with the clock.dss file and the Ini but doesn't seem to make any difference. Am I the only one ever to see this? The frustrating thing is my notebook is fine, i can even delete the whole installation on my Desktop and copy form my NB and its still the same.:wah:

I Know whats happening now, its the Screen Rez , i.m running 2560 x 1440 16:9 and i think the clock is appearing off the screen! if i change to a lower res its moves into view... any idea how i can adjust where it pops up without dragging it ?

Cheers

Shifting the Chronometer
 

I make a little tweak to menu_1024_768.ini file to fix this.

;This menu mod shifts the Chronometer to be fully visible

;originalstock 1.5

Name=Chrono
Type=1026;Menu group

Color=0xFFFFFFFF

While this was for TMO1.7, I believe that 1.9 is set up the same way. The Zone line change is the critical one. It works for me fine on 1920*1200.

I use the JTXe ini modder tool (search the forums for this) to apply this and other tweaks I make to the ini file, after installing all mods with JSGME. The lines you need for that are:

Targetfile=Data\Menu\menu_1024_768.ini

[G29 I2]
Zone= 412 768 234 225 0 1 0x29000000 1 0 0x29020000 -1.5 0 0 0

Had same problem harryg,

This solved it 4 me. The watch is there but is "shown" offscreen.
I have a wide screen monitor.

I substituted jimbobs last 2 lines entries (after backing up Menu file...):

[G29 I2]
Name=Chrono
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x29020000
ParentID=0x29000000
Pos=-31,0,312,300
Zone= -31 768 312 300 0 1 0x29000000 0 0 0x29020000 -0.1 0 0 0

To make it a no brainer:
Pos= ect.
Zone= ect
must be used over the TMO (!) values.

Cheers, trebby.

Perfect Thank you. :DL
