mini chronometer problem/general question

[ancient46]

I adapted Chomu's Mimi Chrono to the changes Ubisoft made to the 1.4 and 1.5 menu_1024_768.ini file. This file controls almost everything you see on the screen. Any large Mod you are using will probably include their version of this file to enable new features and details of the MOD. If you use a chrono Mod and enable it before for example, Real Fleet Boat, you will not get the mini chrono since the file will be overwritten. If you enable it after RFB then the changes the RFB team made will not appear, probably making the Mod hard to use.

To defeat this you need to check all of your installed MOD's Data\ Menu directory for a menu_1024_768.ini file. Take the last Mod's file and copy it to the "Your MOD"\Data\Menu folder that you will have to create. Download this file http://home.comcast.net/~ancient25/Files/ClockMod.txt, open it and the copied menu_1024_768.ini in Notepad and paste the G29 lines over the ones in the ini file. Enable "Your Mod" after all the other ones.This will give you the smaller chrono. Remember, for safety's sake, to leave the original file intact and only modify the copy you made.

If this sounds too complicated let me know what Mods you are using and I will make a mini chrono one for it. I already have one done for RFB.

I will download and try the mini. Thanks.

You should try JTxE to change the lines in the menu_1024_768.ini

First of all, why is my girlfriend nuzzling up to jamimadrid? At least he could have the decency not to post her picture on his avatar!! My crew snickers when I pass....

Second, I do not have the computer skill to make changes to the ini file.

Third, if I give you a list of my mods, it is rather lengthy. It is not the end of the world if I do not have a mini chronometer, but have smaller tools and a smaller chronometer would be nice.

Fourth, jamimadrid's green lights fix is very useful.

Fifth, we had propeller problems for a couple of days last week and I let some of the crew throw fishing lines off the bow. Damned if one of them didn't pu ll in a 700 pound marlin!!

For 1.5 i've made an JTxE conform Ini-Mod for the smaller Tools and chrono. http://files.filefront.com/Mini+Chro.../fileinfo.html

Please download it, put the ini-file in the Ini_Mods Folder and install it via JTxE.

No manually changing the the menu_1024_768.ini.



By away, she tell me about you. Now i understand why your crew is snickering.

I down loaded the JTxE application and ini_mods folder into the directory of SH4 where the JSGME application is located. I have about 10 mods activated in JSGME and some have been overwritten and are not working, including the mini chronometer mod. I am not sure what to do next. Since I have no programing experience, what should I do? Should a I deactivate all of my mods and open them in JTxE? If so what do I do before or after that steip? Please provide me step by step instructions, as I have no experience with this type of task.

OK, if you have different mods which have a modded menu1024...ini, JSGMe will overwrite everytime the former mod.
JTxE will only change lines in the menu1024...ini.

Therefore you have first to install all your mods via JSGME and then install the JTxE Mod.

This means also that before deinsatlling a JSGME Mod you have to deinstall first the JTxE Mod, then deinstall the JSGME Mod and reinstall the JTxE Mod again back.

If yoou take care on these rules you should have everytime your mini clock and mini tools.

I hope you understand this and sorry for my poor engllish.
