I was more referring to the JSGME set-up then mod compatability, thought you should have a look see just to see if it was anything JSGME related. The lad had it installed wrong, etc.

I can appreciate what you are saying above, anybody expecting that is not right in the head.

So does that mean that I simply wont be able to use this mod on Vista? :-(

Have you tried disabling all mods except NSM4 and seeing if you still have the problem? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think NSM touches anything that would cause a menuID problem.

I think you're correct. NSM doesn't touch the gui or any menu in any way. Aren't the menuID problems caused by erroneous entries in menu_1024_768.ini? At least I remember seeing lots of complaints about that when SH4 1.5 was published and people were trying to run mods made for 1.4 on it.

That's what I was thinking, too. The only menuID errors I ever remember seeing were when the menu.ini was modded and/or the mod was for a different version of the game.

and assumed it was installed correctly. I also note DR85 reinstalled SH4 outside of Program Files, thus overcoming the UAC.

So, assuming, and providing, he re-extracted the mods into the new MODS folder, everything JSGME related should be OK. If, however, he simply moved the mods from the old MODS folder installation to the new one, there's his problem. In this case he needs to delete all mods from the new MODS folder and re-extract the mods directly to it to ensure that all files are correctly extracted (his error messages in his first post leads me down this path).

But even going back further, what's not stated explicitly here is whether his installation sans all mods both a) works fine and b) is indeed patched to v1.4. This should be confirmed first. Further, DR85 hasn't posted a list of all mods he has enabled. A menu ID error is guaranteed to be the result of incompatible or conflicting mods.

ok, my game is v1.4 and these are the Mods I was attempting to run.

Dark Rec Manual
NSM
Hi Def Dials
Hi Def interiors
75% smaller chrono

Dark Rec Manual, Dials, and Interiors all worked fine.

Also, you are correct I did move the MODS directly from the old folder, I'm attempting a fresh extract now. I'll let ya know what happens.

Darkranger85 · 03-30-08, 08:54 AM

Alrighty! I tried a fresh install of the game, patched it to 1.4 again and then put the Mod Enabler on and extracted a fresh copy of NSM into the MODS folder and it works perfectly now.

Thank you guys for your patiance and assistance! I really think that this forum has some of the most helpful people I've seen on a single forum in a while!
