It works with Firefox, too. No idea why it doesn't work for Chrome, but...

More adventures of "never seen that before," I've found more German merchants off the east coast of the Philippines.
I managed to torpedo an I-201 class Japanese submarine, too. It was toodling along all fat, dumb and happy in the day time. They finally saw my periscope right when I fired, but I was only 800 yards away and they come about as poorly as my Tuna does, so... |

Hi for some reason during my Australia S-42 after returning to port and getting an "your ship is getting refit with a 20mm AA gun" for some reason the deck gun crew just vanishes. I have had a a look around but none of the solutions fix the problem.

Did you empty the Save folder (defaults to C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4) before playing the modded FotRSU game? If you did not empty the save folder, then you have the Stock game mingled with the FotRSU mod. I ask this because FotRSU has one German "Troopship Modern Class" sailing east of Mindanao late 1942 to mid 1943 (with just a few in the mod), sometimes with a freighter, but also the possibility of an escort. Odds are usually an escort. They are going from Japan to western New Guinea. So if your install and activation are good, and the time frame is right, you got lucky again. There were convoys that ended up without escort due to missed rendezvous points, or ships sunk or whatever, plus it might be a straggler. Never look a gift horse in the mouth - just sink it and look for more. |

The deck gun crew disappeared with an AA gun upgrade?? Can you tell us what date it was that you came back to port, and which port it was? Can you also run JSGME, use the "Tasks..." link in the middle of the app, then click the "Export activated mods list to -->" and use "Clipboard" to paste it right away into your next post, or "Text file" to copy that later and post it in the next reply you do here. If it is your deck gun crew missing, there is the "NewColetrainsAndOthersDGfix.pdf" file in the Support \HowTo folder of the modded game that can walk you through editing the Save files to get your gun crew back. Remember that in the future, the Green circles around the ports are where you'll encounter the "busy" area. The red circles are about where the game will ask you if you want to dock. Somewhere between the green and red circles, you should make a Save of your game, using a new name, so that you have something to fall back to if you run into this again. It is always a good idea to put your gun crews back into the Damage Control team slots, or wherever you got them from, prior to docking, so that you do not lose them. Sometimes the game will put them back there automatically for you. But if you have lost the slots they go in, you'll need to do that "repair" noted above, or fall back to a previous Save. That, unfortunately, is the nature of the SH4 beast...

The fixpak would help some things, but unfortunately not this issue fitzcarraldo. This the old reliable Stock game "deck gun issue"...
@ Zyhgar, if you do not have the "AdditionalRepository" listed, then you are most likely missing part of, if not the whole gun itself, as noted on page 4 of that pdf listed and linked above. That section states: "... you need to actually have the weapon in the UpgradePackSlot on the boat. Search on “UserPlayerUnit 1.UpgradePackSlot 2”, which in FotRSU is the “ID=UpgAirSearchRadar” section. You most likely do NOT have an “[UserPlayerUnit 1.UpgradePackSlot 3]” section, which is the “ID=UpgDeckGun” section. The next section should be “[UserPlayerUnit 1.FunctionalSubsystem 1]”, and you will paste this section between the last line of the “[UserPlayerUnit 1.UpgradePackSlot 2]” section and the "[UserPlayerUnit 1.FunctionalSubsystem 1]” section:Now, part of the problem with that, is the write-up was for a Balao boat, so the sectioning and gun names would be different for your boat. Your boat actually should have a Conning Tower upgrade before the AA gun upgrade, but we did make it to where if you had the first conning tower that it would still mount the gun properly. The game does not do these types of "upgrades" properly. Looking at the image of your submarine on the equipment and crewing page, your boat has the first conning tower. I think we can eliminate that issue with the next mod release - maybe... for the S-42 Class anyway.[UserPlayerUnit 1.UpgradePackSlot 3]Save the file, making certain that it remains named ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc”, as a plain text file, and no extra data or file extensions added..." The apparent main problem you have is that in the modded game, the S-18 and S-42 classes actually receive "down-graded" deck guns effective 1942-08-01, which happened in real life at various re-fits. The 4" guns then went to fleetboats. The missing gun positions usually happen on boats where the player has changed the "default" gun position. That is not possible with the S-18 and S-42 classes, since they can only mount forward guns, so I am at a loss on that, other than to postulate that maybe the conning tower / AA gun change (or lack thereof) may have influenced things?? Give me a bit here, and I'll do a Career Start at Brisbane with an S-42, and get you some good replacement text to fix the Save data. Reference that "NewColetrainsAndOthersDGfix.pdf" file in the Support / HowTo folder though, in the meantime, to familiarize yourself with the procedure involved. If you do not feel comfortable with the idea, you could always just zip up your "C:\Users \Username \Documents \SH4" folder, and I can do the surgery for you, send it back, and you put it back where it was. Just send me a PM if that's what you want. You could use any one of a number of web sites to post to, such as DropBox, MediaFire, Google Drive or MS OneDrive and the like... |

browse to your current Savefolder and then to the file named ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc. select that file name by clicking on it once. press ctrl+c and then ctrl+v. now right click on the ActiveUserPlayerUnits.upc file name and select Open With and choose Notepad. perform a Find function (ctrl+f) and look for compartment 6 or 7 (i forget which is which in an S-boat.) you are looking for text like what i posted below. the Stern Gun will appear first followed by the Bow Gun. Choose which one you want on the boat and then delete the characters AdditionalRepository from each of the CrewMemberSlots in that Compartment. the respective lines should look like this after editing: [UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 7.CrewMemberSlot 1], followed by 2, 3, etc. Save and close this file. Then open SH4, load the save file and the crew should reappear for whichever gun you edited. [UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 7.WeaponSlot 1]

Do note that KaleunMarco's instructions do apply, but with the caveat of the use of "Compartment 6" in place of the "Compartment 7", due to the differences between the S Boat classes and the regular fleetboat classes, which is what his example is of. The crewmember slots are right below the "UserPlayerUnit 1.Compartment 6.WeaponSlot 1.Weapon" section. Either or both of those slots might be incomplete in your Save folder. However, the extra text of the "AdditionalRepository" phrase is the usual problem, going by your illustration in the video. Be sure you have the correct Save folder... That was my last Save going by the Windows date/time stamp. |
