Lost data\menu\....OBS*.tga file

Doolittle81 · 12-22-07, 09:01 PM

For some unknown reason, I've lost my Observation Periscope. When I start SH4, as it loads it stops at about the 85% point...I Alt-ESC to desktop and see the warning saying it cannot locate "data\menu\gui\layout\OBSperiscope_mask_1024.t ga". I can click "OK" and return to SH4 and it finishes loading instantly, but of course when patrolling I do NOT have my Observation scope.

Sure enough, in the appropriate Folder, "data\menu...etc" there is no file by that name. I don't know where it went off to... Can someone tell me how to get it back? Oddly enough, I looked in my backup SH4 Folder and there is no such folder in there, either. Very weird!

I have enabled and disabled a couple of mods since I had last Run SH4 (a few hours ago), but I can't track down the problem. One new Mod was the ROW Objects Reflection...etc...5b MOD, but that should not have caused this, I wouldn't think.

My enabled Mods are as shown, below...They have all worked fine for me until now...Something I did in the enabling or disabling of other mods seems to have caused this glitch.

Can someone lend me a hand in resolving this? Maybe just send me the missing file?

I just ran a search of my SH4 directories and cannot find any files by that name. It must be one of the mods you have installed.

Looks like you have a long night ahead of you... uninstalling your Mods and loading them back in one by one.

Good luck.

You need to deinstall the "Recognition Manual V2 Stock SH4 RSRDC". There a problem with the menu_1024_768.ini
