Installing 360*degress bearing plotting

[gg5056]

I installed WinRAR; I cannot install 360* bearing plotting.rar file. Will not go into winrar.

Please can anyone help.

You put the .rar in to JSGME???
You have to extract the files using Winrar 1st. Or did I get you completely wrong now?.

still can't get 360* bearing plotting.rar.file to go into
any file or winrar.

Would anyone help

Just to levelset: are you trying to compact the 360 bearing tool file in a winrar file?

or are you trying to install the 360 bearing tool mod?

If it is the latter, uncompress the winrar file (it is like winzip)

1) If you do not have this utility, download and install: http://www.rarlab.com/ (it's free)

2) Download the 360 mod http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=108555
a. there is a choice between metric and imperial

3) Double click the 360_Bearing_Plotter_1_4.rar file

4) WinRar will now open the file

5) Extract to an easy to locate folder C:\Temp (or something)

6) Read the readme's for installing, and re: what you are getting into

7) Now take the 360_Bearing_Plotter_1_4 folder and copy into your c:\ program files\Ubisoft\SH4\MODS folder

(this requires the JSGME utility to be installed -in doing so a \MODS folder will be created manually by you)
as Captain Cox said: "Basically use the "Generic Mod Enabler made by "Jaesen Jones" that runs "Jones Soft" for short "JSGME" get it here http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products.html

Install in the main SH4 directory and you should get a folder called "Mods" drag my "360 Degree Bearing Tool" (or any other mod for that matter) over to this folder and activate the "JSGME" exe and the rest is pretty self explainable really."

8) Run the utility, select 360_Bearing_Plotter_1_4, click the > (button) in JSGME and you are done.

* Note: this mod is also included in several other SuperMods: Trigger Maru (TM) for one.

Cheers,

Gotcha,

Have you been able to add any other MODs via JSGME?

Ok lets' try this from the installation Readme:
---
"Extract the archive in a location of your choice and run the "create folders.cmd" file included. This takes the two dds files in the same folder and copies them into a folder structure that can in turn be copied into your SH4 installation directory.

Alternatively cou can copy the two folders and all their contents into you JSGME "MODS" directory and enable one of your choice."

Keep me posted Cap
