REQ Java

peewee · 04-16-07, 03:01 PM

would it be possible to change JAWA and JAWA sea on the map to JAVA ????? or is this historically correct for US NAvy maps? (I,m a brit living in the US, so I have no idea if it's correct or not)

Ah! you now must have gathered that the US cannot spell, and that the UK cannot speak the queens english as well as the rest of the CommonWealth !

I've wondered if that was actually a joke on the dev's part or just a blunder...maybe they will fix it.

It might be historically correct for a map of Tatooine, but on US maps it should indeed be Java.

so is it a moddable change or is the map image one complete bitmap or whatever?

The map in general has factual errors. Djakarta officially didn't exist until after the war when Indonesia was recognized as it's own sovereign nation. I changed it to Batavia as it should be.

I'll see if I can change the names on islands as well.

I'd try myself but you can write everything I know about file editing on the head of a pin IN BLOCK CAPITALS.........I think you get my point. Thanks for trying though, I really appreciate it.

Ok, a quick looksee turns up the Campaign_NMS.mis location 47 and 60. When opened in a text editor they reference to texture files I_Jawa.dds and N_JawaSea.dds. I'm now looking for those two texture files.

Campaign_NMS stores the names of islands and seas while Campaign_LOC stores the ports and cities. LOC is easier to edit because it only requires me to open the editor .

Edit: Ok. the dds files are stored in data\terrain\Locationmaps. Changing them is a little bit of a pain because I don't have the font used. There is a however a .dds with all the letters but I can't really use them with that low a quality. Does anyone know how to use a .dds for fonts?

Ok, it's a little bit of a hack-job, but it works.

Code:

Javafix

This little mod fixes the naming error made by UBIsoft and renames Jawa Sea and Jawa to their proper names Java Sea and Java on the world map.

Files modified:
Campaign_NMS.mis

Files Added:
I_Java.dds
N_JavaSea.dds

Install notes JSGME:

Extract the Javafix to the mods folder and enable the mod.

Install notes non-JSGME:

Extract the Data folder in the Javafix folder to your Silent Hunter 4 folder.

Alternatively in case this mod is somehow incompatible with another, follow these steps:

1. Extract the I_Java.dds and N_JavaSea.dds to the Data\Terrain\Locationsmap folders.
2. Open data\Campaigns\Campaign\Campaign_NMS.mis with a text editor such as notepad or wordpad.
3. Replace I_Jawa.dds with I_Java.dds in Maplocation 47
4. Replace N_JawaSea.dds with N_JavaSea.dds in Maplocation 60


Have fun!

you guys never cease to amaze me.............ask and it shall be given, usually the same day..........thanks a million

L3TUC3 · 04-17-07, 12:00 AM

You're very welcome. I'll probably add it to my RNN mod. I didn't know how Americans referred to Java so I left it star wars style until I found out.

I don't know for sure; it just came to me in a dream. Maybe I had too many wookies for dessert...I mean cookies.

GerritJ9 · 05-31-07, 04:14 PM

MY download doesn't have an I_Java.dds.......... only an I_Jawa.dds which has the same properties as the file in SH4 (and is most probably the same file). Just downloaded it today so it isn't an old version of Javafix. Would it be possible to upload the correct version?
