Newbie question...

[les green01]

ok since now it crashing do a fresh install make sure everything is remove,whenever you install tmo on the loading screen you should see a sub and saying I'M THE GALLOPING GHOST OF THE JAPANESE COAST or something like that,also you might download JSGME and put the fresh install in the sh4 folder instead of coping it from sh3

[fireftr18]

After uninstalling, do a computer clean-up. If you have a good anti-virus software with a registry clean on it, use it. Then do a defrag. Then re-install sh4.

Thanks a lot guys!

I did all that and more (updated JSGME and cleaned
harddrive) - allas absolutely nothing happens.

Oh well - I will play SH3GWX+Rafael for now and dig
deeper into the 'secret' vaults of SUBSIM - maybe I get
lucky - and find some clues.

That means: I won't give up...

Thanks to you all for caring -and if some of you fine
seamen has further suggestions, don't hesitate to
post them.

P.S.: I have the strange feeling that it is something simple
that's wrong when I install TMO. JSGME doesn't complain
the least and the game is running, but without any sign of
the enabled TMO...

can you post some screenshots including one of JSGME maybe we can get a idea of what is going on

[fireftr18]

At what point during the career did you install the mods. Depending on what the mod does, you need to start it at different points. The mega mods need to start a new career. The large ones like OTC, you can start in mid career, but need to be in base to take effect.

When you do a uninstall there are saved folders found in MY DOCUMENTS. These save game folders need to be manually deleted. Then proceed with fresh install

Yes, Sir!

1. Here is the contents of the directory in which
SH4 1.5 is located:












2. Here is JSGME before activating anything






3. Here is JSGME during activation of TMO






4. Here is JSGME after installation of TMO





Unfortunately I couldn't take screenshot from 'inside' SH4 itself -
my screen capture software produces only pitch black pictures...

Yes: I know I must sound like a moron - but hey: It's the first time
I used the screen capture program...

As I said: SH4 looks the same and plays the same - with or without
TMO 'enabled'...

Many thanks to you fine seamen for caring and helping me!

At no time actually. I tried to activate TMO with a clean untouched installation
of SH4 1.5. Is that wrong?

Thank you, Sir! I will do that!

In your first screen, you have 1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5 outside the MODS folder. I think it should be inside the MODS folder. There might be other problems, though.

[magic452]

TMO 2.5 needs to be in the Silent Hunter 1.5\Mods folder.
Unzip TMO to that folder. Silent Hunter 1.5\Mods\TriggerMaru_overhaul_2.5

Magic

[Yoshiki]

Thank you! The TMO zip outside the MODS folder
was still there after I unzipped it into the MODS
directory. I forgor to delete the zip file, now its
done. No changes...

Here is the contents of my MODS folder:





And here is the JSGME config file:






Kind regards and thanks for your support!

Ok, I see the mod in your MOD folder. Now you need to activate them via the JSGME.exe. Click on that to open it. It will look like this.






On the left is the mods. Highlight a mod and click the > to move it to the right. To be sure. Activate TMO 2.5 Overhaul first. The remaining mods activate after that is completed.

[Yoshiki]

Well - what can I say...

It works now - - but I don't know why... Sure I'm happy!

Last thing I did was uninstall the not working TMO and
unzip it into a folder named ...\MODS\1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
instead of ...\MODS\TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5

Then I activated 1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5

Started the game and: 'The galopping ghost on the Japanese coast'
was there!

Can it really be so that the '1_' at the beginning of the mods name
makes all the difference?? Very strange.
Perhaps the different name triggered something?

TMO looks great and I have all easter to play around with it and
get used to it!

One last question - then I won't bother you nomore:

Can the following mods be installed when TMO is already installed?
In that order?

- RSRDC_TMO_V502
- RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
- Improved Stock Environment_v3_TMO&RFB

Don't worry - I will not do it now, but maybe in the future!

Thanks to you all for your help!

For helping a newbie and all your patience:

I salute You!

Thank you Sir - I will try that right now!
