Mods not working with JSGME

[StickMasterSteven]

I'm having some trouble getting mods to work in SH4, as the title suggests. I only have one mod folder inside of the JSGME MODS folder. The mod is supposed to reduce the time it takes to load the deck gun. However, when I go in game, the stock time it takes to load the gun is still in place. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.

Hi, a couple of things to check:

1. Have you "activated" the mod using the JSGME application?

2. Check the folder structure of the mod. It should start: "name of mod"/data. If it's different it usually won't work.

Hi SMS
Open the mod and see if you can see the data folder.
You do not say what the mod is you are using.

C:\
.... make a folder on your C:\ or D:\ drive to install SH4 into:

C:\GAMES\
.... install SH4 in here:

C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific
.... put JSGME, & its MODS folder in here where sh4.exe & Data folder are:
C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\JSGME
C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\MODS <--- Mods go in here



C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data
C:\GAMES\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\sh4.exe
-
The Mod should go in the MODS follder.
Its file structure should look like this:
Mod name: 'Faster Deck Gun' or whatever:
\MODS\Faster Deck Gun\
\MODS\Faster Deck Gun\Data
.... Inside the Mod's \Data folder are the folders & files that make the Mod work.

Be sure the Mod is un-zipped so it is just the Mod folder; Faster Deck Gun
Un- zip it to your desktop and drag the 'Faster Deck Gun' folder into your MODS folder.

In the 'Faster Deck Gun' folder should be a Data folder. In some rare cases the Mod is double wrapped:
\Faster Deck Gun\Faster Deck Gun\Data
If it is, just open it and drag the Faster Deck Gun (in bold above) that has the Data folder in it.


If the mod is not zipped but is a RAR or 7z archive you can get 7z for free. It will unzip Zip's, RAR's & 7z archives:

If you didn't install SH4 to a folder other than Program files(86) you should re-install or copy the entire install to a folder on the C: drive you make.

If this is a Steam install there are instructions on Peter's pages that explain how to configure SH4 on Steam:

Be sure to learn about using JSGME and make a 'Snapshot' before you install any Mods.


Hopefully you have the Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific v1.5 U-Boat Missions add-on or Gold edition.


Good luck & Happy Hunting!

This is no Abracadabra or Hocus Pocus, and it has been described dozens of times.
Disk "C" is basically a system disk, so you should rather leave it for the system and he already knows what to install and what to reject ... =?
I installed it: SH 4; UBM 1.5; great "http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=5298" and necessarily laa - I had graphics problems without it

Here in PDF my wonderful installation: "https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18kaabeEgFbcXe7VrOr2anF9dIC-DL8Un?usp=sharing" - of course without (")

Restarting this thread because I just got back into this game but am still having the same problem. Followed all instructions, Faster Deck Gun mod is in JSGME's MODS folder (also unzipped), appears in the JSGME program, activated, doesn't work.

One thing to note is that I did have to disable high DPI scaling to get the game to work properly (not sure if this would have an effect on mods but I put it here anyways).

Sorry for the abruptness of this post. Please ask if you need any more details.

Be sure that all folders, sub-folders, and files are not set to Read Only. Right click on the base folder where you installed the game (i.e. Silent_Hunter_IV or whatever you called it). Select properties, UNCHECK the Read Only box, then CHECK the "Subfolders and Files" box. Click on Apply. It will take a few minutes to complete the process. That should allow JSGME to apply the mod properly. Worked for me, anyway. Good Luck.
