Need help with mods

Farflung Wanderer · 03-07-15, 09:12 PM

Okay, guys, I'm home for the week for Spring Break, and I thought I might as well pop my submarine cherry and start getting SH4 seaworthy.

It seems I've forgotten a hole or two, because after [a very improvised] download and install of both the Real Fleet Boat and the Run Silent, Run Deep Campaign, Silent Hunter would crash upon load-up.

Since I assume I have done everything wrong, I have taken the precaution of uninstalling Silent Hunter and therefore erasing any mistakes I've made. So, now I turn to more experienced dock-crews to help.

From what I was seeing, you guys recommend this one mod installing program, but it seems that my computer simply cannot find the url where I can get this installer from; I'm going to assume that means that the website has gone down.

So, what do I do? I have until next Sunday to figure this out, but I'd like to get underway well before then. There's a war on, after all!

Okay, obligatory update.

After some scrounging around, I happened to stumble across a download on here for JSGME. I'm going to try to figure this out on my own if I can, but you know where I'm going if this ends up tits-up.

JSGME is simple, and comes with a User Guide. If that doesn't help, of course we'll be glad to answer any and all questions to the best of our (limited in my case) ability.

just check the sticky threads on this forum and the sh4 mods forum and almost all questions have the answers found there

Okay, so I'm still having an issue.

The game will go through its intro, then hit that first loading screen where the bar fills. Once it finishes loading, the game crashes to desktop. I have no idea how or why it is doing this.

Worth mentioning is that when I put in both the RFB 2.0 and the RSRDC_RFB_V575 on, I got a pop-up saying something to the effect that several files had already been changed by RFB and could lead to an adverse effect.

Does anyone know what to do?

We need more information.

What version of Silent Hunter do you have?

Is it a download, Steam, or disc install?

Where on your hard disc did you install it?

What Operating System do you have?

What are your computer specs?

What is your exact mod list?

Were you able to launch and play SH without mods before?

That in itself is NOT likely to be the problem. JSGME is designed to detect files that will be overwritten just to keep your game safe. Most often the overwrite is harmless, especially when, as in this case, the follow-on mod was designed to work with the main mod. Sometimes the file is even totally unimportant, like the readme.
