Hiya,
Hi-res foam should be up now, So the 3 none linking files are ready from link below until dave fixes links on mainpage


http://hosted.filefront.com/Defianceco/


Heck this row with other mods blows my mind lol

I use TM with it and some hud mods etc

You try vanilla install and have a quick look then add Row with other mods and you'll appreciate all of the modders hard work and their dedication to helping make this breath taking (and don't forget this is their alpha, so beta to come ) amazing ehh he he

Ciao

Sigh. God I hate Windows Vista. Why did I ever install it?? I installed all the mods using the JSGME but now when I run the game, my sub wavers all over the place and then the clouds disappear and the game crashes.

I uninstalled the mods but the game doesn't load now. I uninstalled/reinstalled the game but for some reason it still crashes. So I deleted all the saves and started from scratch. No change. I'll be loading up a drive image to restore my system back to the way it was a few hours ago.

The game is unstable as it is under Vista so perhaps I'm better off not adding anything new to it. Too bad, by the looks of it in the videos, this would've made a nice addition to the game.

To solve it, Install SH4 outside the "Program Files" folder (ie C:\\UbiSoft\Silent Hunter 4\ not C:\\ Program Files\UbiSoft\Silent Hunter 4\)

Why!!!, Vista is notorious with Administrator priviledges and the Program Files folder falls inside that category. By installing outside it, No probs whatsoever at my end.

Check out this thread from the SH3 mods forum. Some good reference footage for smoke and fire effects:

Yay! I got all the ROW mods to work, but I wanted to install that Natural Ship Sinking mod but JSGME says that it could adverse effects on my game. Hmmm. The colors on the ocean look more like the Atlantic now. LOL! Deep blue.

I was wondering if I can incorporate this data into a mod I made and I'll be sure to add the credits to the readme should I decide to post it on a website. If not, I understand.

The team did such a fantastic job I was hoping to spread it around with a little additions of my own. Basically my mod enhances various aspects of the game to make it easier for those who just want to have fun and destroy stuff.

Hiya,
Yeah apparently at this moment in time (if i remember right) NSM is being worked on to be more compatable with row etc so best to give it a miss for the moment

I use TM and ROW with a brass HUD mod and smaller chrono with a nice white face

Had no probs either in vista or xp (only graphic settings related but they're all sorted now thanks to me bios flashing my gts 640) , But now i run sh4 in xp only and other sims i like in vista

Hope you tried the vanilla sh4 then added row etc so you can see all the hard work these modders have done for us

Anyways late here in ole blighty so g'night all

Have Fun

Def

Don't panic. I, too had problems with windows and my nvidia 8800 gts. Just be patient, like you do when waiting for a convoy. Have it all: TM and ROW and running smoothly. Look at the forums and there is plenty of information on your configuration. Just do not change more than one thing at the time. Took me a week or so, with crashes, and a lot of "google searches". The problem is: every system reacts differently. I build my one computers and have to identical ones installed for my student-daughters. Only difference is one Lan-chipset, and so troubles with VISTA. I know it is not sophisticated, but trial and error, did it for me.

And some overclocking my NVIDIA card with Ntune (takes 3 hours!) made all the difference. The graphic settings are critical.

Asus P5N32-E SLI and dual core Intel 6600 2.40
Nvidia 8800 gts 640 Mb

(SH4 is "hard work" for both your sub and your pc)

But believe me: it's rewarding:p

Just one advise: start "fresh" and delete all traces from your registry with a registry cleaner. Also ALL directories/folders from SH IV. (including the "visual store" folders used by Vista) Just remembered: that was the beginning of the victory for me. Total cleaning the system and take it from there: step by step. Loading a "image" my not do the trick. Because as far as I know, it doesnot completely "cleans" the registry and may be there are traces of the instable setup. (of course it's the "best thing" to try, but for me it made it worse not better, especially hardware is the problem when you reload a image of your configuration. I'll bet it's the graphic! (also had a conflict with my soundblaster X-FI extreme gamer: deleted the soundcard, cleaned up the registry and all traces of the soundblaster and reinstalled with the latest driver). Radio-forum searches where a great help in my case.

Dont know if this matters, but i had probs with auto updater function with sh4. When it patched to 1.3 my game went haywire. Reinstalled and downloaded the patches manually , no problems since. Windows xp here though, so that might not be the prob.

hi! first of all thanks to all the modders that have doing a fantastic work! i have a problem: i have installed jsgme and after the row. i have used the order of the screenshot of Defiance some pages ago. but in the game something dont function well;for example after one day of patrol i'm in a big storm but there is no foam; i sink 7,8 ships in the nsm tutorial but there isnt the oil, the sunrise and sunset is the same that before. the only thing that is changes is the far horizon and the higher resolution in the port objects. what can be the problem? i think that i have doing the correct things,but maybe not.... thank you!
ps.sorry for my bad english...
