i am assuming that you will be using JSGME to apply not only TMO but your changes as well. if that assumption is incorrect then now is the time to say so.

ok.

unzip TMO into the MODS folder.
then create your own mod folder with a different name under MODS.
you will want to copy the files that you wish to modify into your mod folder.
then edit each of the files on your list in the MODS folder. .CFG, .MIS .UPC should be edited with a straight text editor like Notepad. .SIM, .ZON, .DAT require skwas' S3ditor.
when you are finished making changes then apply your mod after all of the TMO mods.
i've created an example for you.


ignore the mods on the left.
Notice the last mod in the right panel (TMO RSRD Tweeks)? that would be where your personal mod should be.

so, now, when you encounter a problem or you wish to make additional changes, run JSGME and remove your mod, make your changes, then run JSGME to apply your modded changes.

good luck.

I do not have the computer skill for that..Just one of the things i want to change is the real tonnage of the Yamamoto from 63,000+ tons to it's wikpedia tonnage of 65,027 tons..I have done this before but my computer crashed and a reinstall was needed, now i cannot access the files to edit them...

Changing tonnage is simple...got to the drive you have SH 4 installed on..for example...C:/UBI/SH/MODS/Trigger Maru/Data/Sea/BBYamato

You will see a .CFG file entitled BBYamato, usually at top, open with text editor, like notepad. You will see the tonnage. Change to desired tonnage, click save was, overwrite. Now, will have desired tonnage.

Make sure you back up the file first, just copy and paste to empty folder on desk top.


I would consult other sources if I were you besides wikipedia. While I love wiki and is a great reference/summary for things, should remember it can be edited by anyone and there are often (not on purpose) in many cases, errors, omissions etc.


Tonnage of Yamato is often listed in various sources as different, number i've encountered mostly is 69,988-tons.


Far as TMO goes...


I see you are using the original TMO and RSRD. Amazing mods, my favorites of all time. However, their original creators have not been active in the subsim community for some time and thus they are both outdated. For a maximum experience with TMO, I suggest installing my TMO Update.

I gave TMO a major update, including many new ships added to roster, ability to conduct realistic night surface attacks , a new campaign, which is inspired by RSRD for historical accuracy and much much more. V1.0 was released in September...next couple weeks I will be releasing V2.0 (and likely the final)


Here is a link (below) Make sure to check out the README for install details and changes.

Something to do with UAC (User Account Controls), some sill windows nonsense, ah microsoft. I forget the exact steps as have never had the issue personally, but recall others have. Post in the forum, those with knowledge will assist.

Well i guess i have done my last mission in SH4, it simply will not play no matter how many time i have tried..Does anyone know of a good American WW2 subsim i might try??

You said sim ran before you made those changes correct? Okay, so something went wrong. Don't give up.


Follow these steps for Windows .

Open Control Panel. One way to get there is to search for it using the search bar by the Start menu.
Choose User Accounts. ...
Select Change User Account Control settings.
Drag the button to the very bottom, to Never notify, and then select OK.
Confirm the change with Yes.



If problem persists, you will need to do a uninstall and reinstall. Lets see if this works, if not, make a post in SH 4 Mods forum with the prefix [TEC] in headline and post your issue. This will catch attention of our tech wizards here.


Well, SH 4 is the only WW II subsim for USN out there, with proper mods its a amazing sim. SH 3 is older and can be just as cranky , SH 5 is dumpster fire, but the community has made some amazing mods for it. Those are U boat oriented sims though, not US. Also, likely to run into same problems with any of them as going on description of your issue, sounds like some PC settings.

If you have set your "Options", "Graphic Settings" in the game set to match your display and Windows settings, then check that Win10 thread someone linked you to elsewhere, expecially the last few pages, and specifically to the picture:



for the settings you have to noodle with for the SH4.exe Properites settings. You might have to do quite a bit of experimenting with that to find the "mix" of settings that function correctly with your computer. Let us know if you need further help!
