Your monitor shouldn't have anything to do with it. Frankly, I'm stumped.

Since all else has failed, the only thing I can suggest is taking the two folders inside the "Data" folder of the mod you want to use, and copy or move them to the "Data" folder of your SH4 install. Let it overwrite the existing folders and files when it asks. You will lose the stock versions of the files this way, unless you rename them first.

I'm stumped too, its weird. I also thought it might be win 8.1 but the software all runs fairly smoothly.

I'll do a manual input and rename the stock files. Get back on this, I am on night shifts now.

It must be your folderstructure that is incorrect. I enabled one of the 3 maps, while I had RFB 2.0+RSRDC (but the latter does nothing with the changed files), but also stock SH4 1.5. I get a changed colorscheme on the navigation map as it should look.

Show us a screenshot of the MODS folder tree in Explorer, with all subfolders folded out.

Or you must have other mods that mixed up your system and it is looking for the wrong filenames.

I do not run my mods from the jsgme mod folder. I keep them in the silent hunter mod folder only. This avoids errors.

JSGME is in my root silent hunter folder with its icon on the deck top. I do not use it for any other game so putting it in the silent hunter folder works more efficiently.

Even if I did have other games I used it for I could simply place a separate copy of JSGME in each game root folder and have a separate icon for each on the desktop. That way each desktop icon points only to that games mod folder and none others and not JSGME.

Check this for proper installation of JSGME:

Question: Where did you install SH4? If it was the default of C:\Program Files\, that could be the problem. Someone reported pretty much the same problem in the Mods forum, and said it got fixed when he uninstalled the game and then reinstalled it somewhere other than the default. It's possible the Windows User Account Control safety feature is preventing JSGME from allowing the files in the game to be overwritten.
