Hi Captains,

everybody can use FOTRS if you got two installations of SH4 !

Its easy to make a second installation.
Here ist the explanation .

1.) Remove your actual SH4 UBM version.
2.) Make a new SH4 installation
3.) Patch this new one with 1.4
4.) Copy this patched SH4 Folder to an other partition of your Harddisk
5.) Install UBM to the original Installation
6.) Make a shortcut from the SH4-exe of the copied 1.4 Version on your desk

Now you can play bothe versions, SH4 V1.4 and SH4 V1.5 but make shure that you will load the right savegames for each Version.

Since FOTRS is based off TMO, those names are the various zones of the ocean. I'm not exactly sure what the names are for, but I like them. That file path in the dialog box is the location where your screenshots are placed. It is quite common for that to be there, although sometimes it may not appear.

Default how to do a new install

hi.

I know how to use multish4 pretty well as I have 4 differnet installs going TMO+RSRD, RFB, Op Monsun and a stock one. yet but I must uninstall UBM from one of those installs in order to be able to play FOTRS.

or put another way: How do I make a clean install of SH4 without first removing my games.... if I insert the SH4 DVD disk it tells me the game is already patched to 1.5 and wont allow a new clear install.

help!!!!!!!!!!!

cgjimeneza, sorry to say that you have no chance to install the mod without reinstalling SH4.

This is the negative point of the operation, the positive point is deinstalling your stock version of SH4 has no implications on your modded installations.

Deinstall Stock 1.5, install 1.0 and update to 1.4. Make a copy of clean 1.4 to your modfolder (if you like keep this clean 1.4 and take a second copy for the FOTRS Mod) and when ready update the stock game to 1.5.

If you do this you go exactly the way i did 2 month ago. There is only a stock installation in my C:\Programs\... All my Mod copies are in my C:\Games folder. And after having watched a hard working HD you will be like me the proud owner of 45 GIGABYTE Silent Hunter 4 in 2 clean installs and 7 Mod folders each round about of 5 GB. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi Captains,

the DL doesent work cause ouer FTP-Server was hacked by some idiots.
The files are not away but we have to reboot and restructure the system.
It should be done today !

Sorry for that.

Enjoy your mod very much. I think it's one of the best. However, the TBT does not track a full 360. I was told that this is because it's not possible to swing it to the 180 position. But, I see that there was a TBT mounted on the stern of the the bridge, allowing the captain to view targets astern of the sub. Photos of this can be seen at US Navy ships. Also, in the movie, Run Silent Run Deep, they use the stern mounted TBT to track a Jap target. Hope this helps in any future add on' s to your mod. I think the periscope view is to large. Thanks for this mod.

Various code names assigned to the map by US forces for encryption purposes.
Similar to the way the Kriegsmarine map is divided up in SH III.
