I requested the metric version because all the other tools in my game are also using metric units

Oh I see, I thought you meant hardcoded in the game, not your head . The torpedo run lengths in yards aren't connected to anything in the game (ie, it's NOT range to target), so a metric version would make no difference at all, as it's all based on the time of the torpedo run.

I quess i did it again... We'll how to say this to get it right. In one minute the MK10 runs 1200 yards that is round 1097 meters. Same thing, but different values. To have a metric values all over the game would be just "convinient"... Also this mod would be very handy for making decicions when to fire a torpedo to get a perfect 90 degree shot from non 90 degree angle. Normally i calculate (impact point related to target and torpedo speed) this while charting , but now i could just have quick look and get suitable values for my firing solution.

I can edit the tga-file by myself but i quess it has been drawn with somekind of cad-software, so i guess it would be easier for you to edit the values and convert it to tga?

I attempted to install this with JSGME and manually, it failed both times. SH4 hung while loading. when trying to load it with JSGME it advises me that
"menu 1024_768.ini" has already been altered by the "REL_TriggerMaru_Overhaul" mod
"menu 1024_768.ini" has already been altered by the "SCAF for TMO" mod
It hung while loading but when I hit escape it finished loading but I did not have TSAC. I manually installed it with the same results. Here is my menu 1024_768.ini configuration at the insertion point-

I did Drop the file TSAC.tga into the "\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu" folder. So, whatsup? Did I screw up or is there a bug?

You must drop it into "Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu\Layout" folder.

You forgot the last folder? :hmm:

copied from your install instructions "1) Drop the file TSAC.tga into your "\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu" folder"

Dargn.....

The path should point to the same folder where you placed the file TSAC.tga

Simply move the file one folder up to the "menu" one ("Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu") or alternatively modify the menu.ini to add the reference to the Layout folder.

Hope it solves the problem.

So, I just need to get the two lines in red to agree as shown?

1) Drop the file TSAC.tga into your "\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Menu\Gui\Layout" folder
2) Open your menu_1024_768.ini and add following entry in the proper place:
[G32 I32]
