Not getting credit for sunk ship-maybe saves corrupted

Where would one find this mod? I searched the Subsim downloads, including the Legacy files, and did not find it. Thanks.

It's on another site: http://www.subsowespac.org/silent-hunter-4-mods.shtml

Thanks for that link. I've never heard of this mod and it looks great.

It is from a mod that we used for the Pacific Thunder Campaign.

Kim's tool was used to select the missions, specific boat, and date, plus realism etc. It still can be used, or the Spyron mod will handle the Spyron campaign by itself too if you want.

Happy Hunting!

Of mother of pearl, now Spyron mod is doing it too.

I guess the only thing to try is to move my install out of steam, which i was dreading because it is so big with all the mods, but i am running out of options.

EDIT: Reinstalling on another drive, but since saves are save in my documents I'm not sure how moving it out of the program files x86 is going to help. Oh well, I'll try anything once.

Thanks so much! I'll check it out.

Can you copy the entire SH4 install from the Steam install folder once it is upgraded to 1.4 or 1.5, move that copy to a folder off the C:\ Drive like "Sub Games", then use Multi SH4 on the copy and start the game with SH4.exe in the copy?

Just like GU.exe, on a DVD install, maybe Steam tries to correct and update files when it loads. I always change the shortcut to sh4.exe.

I know nothing about Steam other than I'm glad I didn't use it. Sorry you're having problems with Steam and Spyron.

Welp, I did a clean install on another drive. It's still a steam directory, but not program files (x86). Still only remembering just the ships from a previous save.

I'm just going to have to keep SHIV always open, and just minimized when I am not playing. The bad part about that is that my deck crew will still on deck even when underwater because of the alt tab bug.

Once the Steam version updates to 1.5 from 1.3 (which I heard the steam version is initially) can you copy the entire 1.5 install folder to a second location off the root of the C:\ drive into a folder like, Sub_Games?

I do it in two steps. First I copy the Data folder, next I copy the remaining files and folders.

Like this:
C:\Wherever it is now\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific

Copy to:
C:\Sub_Games\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific

Make a shortcut from sh4.exe to the desktop from this 2nd install location and see if SH4 starts. (after re-booting) If it does, and if it is the 1.5 U Boat Missions, maybe you can mod this 'new' 2nd install that may not be linked to Steam?

I wonder if steam isn't the problem but MY Documents folder, where the saved games are?

On the plus side, since I never save until I end the patrol, it changes my game play to be more exciting. No do overs! I have to live with all of my mistakes.
