Mod Help

Hambone307 · 05-05-16, 12:14 PM

I have recently purchased a new laptop. Windows 8, same as last one an have gone through and got both SH3 and SH4 running. I am having an issue with getting my mods to work now. I have put JSGME in the SH4 folder and have my MODS folder set up with my mod mix. I have tried enabling the mods through JSGME, but SH4 won't boot up and I get an error message stating something along the lines of some files missing.

I can't remember if I had the issue with my last computer since I set that up 5 years ago...

Any insight to a solution would be appreciated.

You have any screen shoots of your folders?

Will try to get some and upload

Edit: Here are the pics of my SH4 folder and the MODS folder. I get a CTD each time I try to start the game after it goes through the stock startup sequence...

It looks like you have sh4 installed in the "program files" directory. For some reason, mods won't work if sh4 is there. Uninstall, then reinstall under it's own directory.

What version of SH4 are you running, and what mods are you using?

I seem to recall trying to run mods for version 1.5 will run into issues with missing files. (Or maybe it was mods for 1.4 with version 1.5.) Can you tell us what the error is exactly?

Well since attempting to reinstall the above listed mods, the error message has gone away and all I get is the typical CTD "Silent Hunter 4 encountered an error and needs to close".

I have the game updated to version 1.5 and as far as I know, on my last computer, I had it in the program files section and I didn't have too many issues.

Will try to reinstall in its own directory.

If y'all can't read the mod list, it is as follows:
TMO 2.5, RSRD, ISP2.6

Oh, and this is the steam version. Have run it for the past 4-5 years with no issues (I guess I'm lucky from what I hear).
