Cook County is pretty far down the rabbit hole. I live in NWI Indiana and so I go up there every once in a while. Pretty messed-up place.

Hey now! What about St Clair County?... That's another one on the up-and-up...

- I used to work in that county. 'Course, now that I think about it... Crook County wins, hands-down...

Crook county lol. Much, much more worse than just crooks. Last time we went up there had to be at least a year and a half ago. COVID has kept us out and plus it’s not a very safe place to be. The looting and rioting that happened back in May and June is proof of that enough.

Hi all,

Fifi & the team - thanks for this great mod.

Just set up a new sh4 for this mod, everything is working great except the radio.
It could be me missing something basic but I have been troubleshooting for a while with zero success so I thought I should ask for assistance.

Radio is not working in the sense that by hitting the hotkey or clicking on the GUI button, I get the radio GUI popup (radio on the left flag pop-up window in the middle).
Then I click on next channel/previous channel expecting to hear some radio broadcast but it doesn't play anything.
This is happening in a new career on type IIB and type VIIB while on the surface.
I tried it with the mod list below and also with zero mods (just clean sh1.5 + DW) made no difference.
<own tweaks to commands file>
OM_Harder_Escort_L1
OM_Strategic_Map_Symbols
OM_U-Jagd
OM_Warm_Clothes

I searched in this thread, there are 2 pages of mention of 'radio' but didn't see anyone experiencing this exact issue. Any ideas?

Do you have anything added to the Data / Sound / Radio folder, or is just the "Washington" radio in there? You do have to "tune" the radio to the particular "channel" you want your radio station on, so Washington is Freq 22, but the game should "default" to it. There are "events" in the folder, and you have to be listening at the time the events occur, to be able to hear something (besides the "static" sound). The radio is a bit buggy, in that if you have it active, when you first Load a Saved game, you will hear at least one old event, if not more, dependent upon the Save, until the "clock" catches up with the current situation. If you are wanting to hear music, use the gramophone instead, and put wav, mp3 or ogg vorbis files in the Data / Sound / Gramophone folder, and play away on them. There are radio station mods though, which can be very cool to listen to. Fred8615 and CaptainCox are two big names in the radio station mods, and then digital trucker has a Radio Station Manager mod, which can help "fix" broken radio mods if their "event dates" are out of sequence, of which one of the Captain Midnight mods has. The RSM mod can be a bit finicky, since it was written for Windows XP...

Hi all,

I noticed the loading screen image for the version 6.7 still says "V5". I changed it to "6.7" & dropped the letter 'V' as per embedded screenshot below.

If anybody wants it, DDS Image file dowload link: https://hostr.co/XjJLsBp92HRn
Place it in your "Data\Menu\Loading" directory using the original name (i.e.: overwrite the existing file 'Intro_logo_bkg.dds').
Needless to say credits to the original owners fifi & DW team.

If you wish to preview the file without firing up Silent Hunter 4, you can use the free Nvidia > Developer Tools > Windows Texture Viewer utility.
Nvidia Windows Texture Viewer Download link is at the bottom of the page here: https://developer.nvidia.com/legacy-texture-tools

As the Nvidia utility is provided a RAR (archive) file you will need 7zip or similar utility to unarchive (unrar/unzip) it, you can get free 7zip from here: https://www.7-zip.org

Version number bumped to 6.7 preview picture:

Thanks for this great mod.

Edit: Adding file checksum values for below verification purposes (in case hosting provider injects something).
If you have never used this before, you can get a free utility such as this one and then right click on a file in Windows Explorer to get its checksum values https://github.com/gurnec/HashCheck
