I then tried manually installing all the changes to the applicable folder but had the same result, stock map. Although the air field were added. I must be doing something wrong with the installation and thought someone may able to help. I am using RFB 2.1. Thanks.

First of all, double check your versions. NMMO v2.1 Patch 1 is ONLY for NMMO v2.1 and NOT for NMMO v2.0. As far as I know, RFB's latest version is 2.0, but I could be wrong about that. Secondly, I am not the author of the other two mods,(NMMO add-ons and the 3 FJB Navigation maps), so I can't comment on the compatibility with my NMMO mods. I suggest deactivating the other two mods and see if that works for you. I hope this helped.

I use the maps version 2.1 plus patch and addons normally in RFB 2.0 plus RSRDC.

Instead of deactivating the other mods, I un-installed SH4, cleaned up all the folders and re-installed the game. (I did that because I fiddled with some of the files trying to get it work.) I then installed RFB 2 and the patch for it. Then I installed your Nav Map Make-Over V2.1 and then with AB patch for it. I have the airfields but the maps are still the bland stock maps and look nothing like the maps in your readme file. Do I have to have the graphic set to some specific level? I have my graphics set at the highest. I must be doing something wrong with the installation of these MODS. I have them in MODS folder and activated them with JSGME. Thanks for your help.

I would check the file structure, if you haven't already. The double folders thing fouls up more people than any other issue.

The file structure looks okay but I am not sure what you mean by the "double folders thing".

It should look like this:

XYZ Mod\Data\various subfolders

not this:

XYZ Mod\XYZ Mod\Data\various subfolders

Depending on how you unzip the mod, you will often get the extra folder, which prevents the mod from properly activating. JSGME says the mod is activated, but nothing actually changes in the game.

Okay I fixed it. It is kind of convoluted and lengthy but I will put it here incase anyone has a similar problem. My first installation was the default set on the disc, C:\program files (x86)\ubisoft. When that didn't work, I uninstalled the game, deleted all the related folders and cleaned the registry of all references to the game by using regedit/find. I re-installed it to C:\programfiles\Ubisoft but had the same problem. I tried uninstalling all the mods except NMMO but that didn't work. So I went through the same uninstall procedure as before. After I installed the game, I ran it without mods and everything looked good. Now the strange part. I then installed only NMMO v2.1 and ran the game. After the initial game screen I got the RFB screen even though I didn't install that mod. So I figured that somehow, even though I cleaned the registry, it was picking up old data. I went through the uninstalling and cleaning procedure again. This time I installed the game in the root directory, C:\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific and all the mods, including NMMO work great. I have no idea how all this happened except that there are some hidden old installation entries in the registry that the search for silent hunter and SH4 didn't find. I appreciate all the help and hope this helps someone in the future.

It's good that you were able to figure it out.
