the file is actually called "impurity" , its in the "data/ misc" folder so if you replace it, that will take you back to stock impurity levels.

ok so how do i go about using this mod?

i see all sorts of different versions but which one do i use? 4.4? 4.5? 4.6? 4.7?

they are all very different sized mods so are they stand alones or patches to be added to the base 4.4?

im confused as to just what i get from each and if i only need to pick one and thats it.

i have stock 1.5 with no other mods

I checked and IT DOESN'T WORK ! IT CRASHES AS I STATED IN THE FIRST PLACE! Maybe if we ask him nice all of us , he will correct that annoying bug.:p

So...you newcomers to this mod THINK twice before you use it ! If you are U Boat fans, and I think you are ,as long as you play Uboat missions add-on ,you'll not accept to play ,the campaign WITHOUT the Walther Sub. The author of the mod REFUSED repetedly to solve the problem invoking all the time the fact that he doesn't speak English well. Another way around would be if someone of you who are mod seniors KNOW how to tweak the mod files.My guess is that the author of the mod forgot to add files/ change etc for the Walther sub.As a matter of fact I wonder if he knows what Walther sub was because I find it impossible one's making a mod without testing it enough. (ENOUGH = WITH walther sub also ...)

Maybe you ALL could give it a HAND here...because the mod is GOOD but we ALL want to play it WITH Walther sub , too, right ?

After installing SH4 and patching etc you install 4.6(the 4.6 is an up to date version of the mod) and THEN 4.7 (which is somekind of add-on which resolves the glass effect from previous versions of the mod and add some nice new colors to the sea , sky etc).But before you do all that read the previous post written by me...:p and think twice if you wanna play this mod...

ok thanks for the help

on a second note about your comments reguarding this mod, it has been in use without incident by hundreds of members for a very long time and in most cases as with some other mods it is not the mod itself that is crashing the game but rather the game files of the individual have been corrupted somehow. this usually happens when mods are installed or uninstalled out of order.

i understand you are frustrated but reading your comments i must say you seem to be jumping to conclusions and being confrontational rather than willing to discover the true cause of what is going on. i have not been using this mod yet but rest assured it has been around long enough to be well known to work without the problems you describe to be having so i would think there is definately another cause even if it only shows up when you use the mod.

the only way to be sure of your facts is to do a fresh new install of the game, then install a new freshly downloaded version of the mod (in case it was somehow corrupted) this way you can speak from total certainty that both the game and the mod are in original condition and not corrupted somehow.

before condeming a mod that seems to work for everyone else but you, always try to remember to start with a clean fresh new install of sh4 as well as the mod itself to be certain there is no errant file or corruption in your game?

This Environmental have three components , need to enable in the properly Installation sequence:
1--E4.6....... http://files.filefront.com/Enviromen.../fileinfo.html
2--E4.7...... http://files.filefront.com/Enviromen.../fileinfo.html
3--0 m wind speed of waves...... http://files.filefront.com/For+E47ra.../fileinfo.html


Becareful with the last download "0 m wind speed of waves" , you must install at the final ,a file with the name "0 m wind speed of waves "

May be this mod is not total perfect but I am not sure

You were NOT paying attention to my threads mate! I DID that and it doesn't work !! Where are those "hundreds" you talk about? I don't see them...
If you DID read this thread you saw already there are OTHER who got the same crash problem ! And one more thing...NOT even the AUTHOR of the mod didn't say anything concerning that.What I mean is if I had done this mod and someone would step forward and say "man the mod is crashing to point X, what is to be done ?" I would have verifying on the spot...but the author didn't come forward to say that (if it's his mod fault or not) .I said another thing and that's why you are making confusions, I said that maybe, JUST maybe the unlocking problem would cause that, but I checked and it's not that.So as I see it...YOU jump to conclusions too early my friend.My advice is to load the mod and play it and see if you can play with the Walther sub in CAREER mode.(you, yourself said that you didn't play it to see if it crashes or not but you came here to teach lessons about how things work) My guess is that you'll be very...cool after that and think twice before before writing a reply.

I'm not here because I don't have anything else to do at home! I'm here because I LIKE this MOD (it renders the best color etc effects I've seen in SUB simulation) and that's why I want to convince the author mod to SOLVE that crashing problem.Got it? I would have solved it myself but I don't have the knowledge to do it.

Who are you talking about mate ? The author of the mod ? Are you here to give an opinion about this thread or you don't have anything else to do at home ?

Please get the thread back on track gents. Prince_Vlad you have a PM.

well in that case then might i suggest you try the ATO forum?

it is for atlantic theater operations for the german side players and since they specialize in playing the german side, they may have a unique perspective on the issue. if you are sure it is the mod, then they can help you compare there game to whats happening with yours. i think the trouble may be that, in my opinion, i believe most people play the us version and dont spend a lot of time with walter boats, but of coarse i could be wrong.

it sounds like you have tried to resolve it here and have not gotten any results you are happy with so the next step i suggest would be trial and error with the help of the ATO forum to customize the mod yourself to stop the crashing. more than likely it would be one small file somewhere that you could delete with minor impact if any on the mod.

bottom line is the mod creator along with many others are not convinced there is a problem so no matter how unhappy that makes you, you are left with the choice of learning to fix it yourself or not use the mod.


good luck and good hunting

often i will usually combine mods that have steps or patches so is there any reason i cant put all three on my desktop then copy 4.7 over 4.6 and overwrite files then copy 0 wind over them to end up with 1 mod file as a whole? is there some reason to keep them seperate?

It depends. If you play the stock version of 1.5 (not TMO or RFB) then combining 4.6, 4.7 and the wave mod would probably be fine. OTOH, 4.6 included a lot of changes to other SH4 files that would effect RFB and TMO installs in a "negative" way, that is, changing files in those mods. Even installing 4.6 first was thought to create some gameplay issues, at least in RFB, due to some "file dependancies" being altered. 4.7 didn't have any issues as it only affected environment files... no conflicts of any significance with RFB or TMO.

I tested 4.7 recently on my RFB install and worked quite well... YMMV.
