Deck guns

I tried but do not know what I am doing...

This stuff if odd at first, but gets easier after a few tries. The great thing is, no harm was done to computers while "fixing" things...

Open up the JSGME you have in your game folder. In that middle "gutter" area is "Tasks...". Click on that, and you'll get a menu. Choose the bottom one, "Export activated mods list to --->", where you'll want to click the "Clipboard" choice. That will copy the list to the Windows Clipboard, which is a temporary digital holding place in the computer's memory. Copying anything else between that and using the data will wipe out the list. Of course, you could do it again if necessary... Anyway, this is what the JSGME menu will look like when you drill down, but before you click on the "Clipboard" choice:




Once you have that list in the Clipboard, log into SubSim, and reply. In the text box for your reply, do a key combination of <Ctrl><V>, or "Control" and "V" keys together, which will "paste" the Clipboard text into the dialog box here, and should look similar to what ETR3(SS) posted above in:

Your list of course, would be different. Just be sure you are in the proper SH4 folder before you begin.

Ah-ha! Some of your mods are incompatible with TMO v2.5, and some of them are unnecessary, since they are already in the mod. Start at the bottom of your list, and remove all of them up to the TMO v2.5 listing. In other words, all but the one. Then re-activate your Spyron, which will wipe-out your TMO CareerStart and the sub's associated with that. Empty the Save folder associated with this install, and run the game again. See if it functions correctly for you to run the Spyron mod. I am thinking that there were a few things that had to be changed in that, but I am remembering an old aanker post, and it might have just been his custom install.

Anyway, if everything seems to run OK, go through the ReadMe documentation of each of the other mods, to see if they are compatible. Some will say in the text documentation that they are for the Stock game only. Others will say like "for use with TMO v1.9" or some such. You'll have to decide what you want to keep and alter for use with TMO, or just leave out, if they are not compatible. Read through some of the early posts in "[REL] Trigger Maru Overhauled", and you will occasionally find posts from folks inquiring whether "this mod or the other" would work in TMO. The answer was generally "No", unless it was specifically written for it. You might also ask other players what all they run with their TMO 2.5 mod. Another choice, if you want to alter TMO, is to use Bleiente's "Ralles RealModPack for TMO_RSRDC_OTC", which is Bleiente's "mix" of TMO, RSRDC (Run Silent Run Deep Campaign), and CapnScurvy's OTC (Optical Targeting Correction) mods. The "key" is to keep the mod list as simple as you can, so you have less chance of something going wrong. My guess for your deck guns, is that something is partially overwriting your "Default Bow Deck Gun" mod from Sniper297. That is the type of mod that would generally be one of the last that you activate, but even still, if the "rooms" on the subs, or the "placeholders" for the gun do not match what the mod is writing, you will end up with no guns...

Do one step at a time, and test. If it works, do the next step, etc. You might also have to empty the Save folder between each test, depending upon what your new mod is over-writing. It can be a very frustrating process to go through.

Hello Berserker,

You mention that your deck guns have vanished and I see the above mods highlighted in yellow by me...

Please remove these mods, then try again. If all is working try one and test before you install the second... as it seems to me, that this would be the first place I would look...

[Berserker]

I took out the default deck gun and the crew rank fix and so far I have a fore deck gun,,,Truthfully I was hoping for both fore and aft deck guns...Update..Just picked up a new boat a Gato with a fore deck gun maybe things will be okay whispered Murphy..
