If you have a copy of WinRar that will open the .7z files too. I'm not running the mods you are in SH1, but if you downloaded the files from here I'm assuming they would be in good shape. Other websites might not be so fussy in the QC department. Try reinstalling SH1 and then using only one mod or the other and see which one works fine.

Howdy!

I tried everything I could think of and still no joy. I cannot get the "newmaru" and SHReal modules to work. Newmaru give me a black screen whenever I go on a war patrol and for the SHReal module I get a screen with graphics but no text on the buttons or check boxes. I am using WindowsXP Pro on an older computer. I tried both in the newest version of DosBox and the Windows Dos Prompt.

Anyone out there who may help? Is this Hawk gentleman still about who created these add-ons?

They should install on an XP system because I had them running on XP. Hawk hasn't been around for ages.

INSTALLING THIS PROGRAM

After you have downloaded SHRSETUP.EXE you must run it to extract all of the files to the proper folders.

Win95 & Win98 users -- Select Run from the Start menu.
Win3.x users -- Select Run from Program Manager's File menu.
Now type in the path to SHRSETUP or click the Browse button to locate the downloaded file.
Then click the OK button.

Make sure the "Unzip to Folder" field contains the correct path to your Silent Hunter folder and press the Unzip button. You're done with the installation !

Same thing with NEWMARU. You need to tell them where your game is installed like, C:\GAMES\SILENT\ if that is where yours is. By default it may be trying to install to C:\SILENT\ and you need to change that by editing in the exact location where your install is located.

Happy Hunting! (eventually)
