[Truckerich]

hI,,,

With your help Digital Trucker I found the file. Thanks. I've actually had some extrodnary good luck lately. I'm trying to match some of the mods up with the game. I've deleted oh! near 20/30/Shut maybe 40 times,,SH4 lol...LOL I think I've got to have at least 100 different mods and have 50 or more working Missions and Patrols. That was a feat by itself. I'm trying again,,lol,, to tweek some of the mods now. With all the super great effects out there it's sometimes hard to decide what Im looking for..
Thanks again for the help..Truckerich
I can smell the salt,lol

Well, unless there's something strange going on with your browser, I don't know what to tell you. I edited the original post to make the "Download at" larger and yellow and made the text for the link larger. Maybe it will stand out now.

In case that doesn't work, here's the link http://files.filefront.com/GIEP11rar.../fileinfo.html[/quote]

Is there a version of this that works with SH4 1.5, the Kriegsmarine office?

Nope, not yet (for the German game anyway, US still works fine). I'm not even sure where they keep the Kaluen's desk picture. It shouldn't be too difficult to take care of though. Change a line or two of code and add a Kaluen'sFrauleins folder to the game.

I'll look into it and get back to ya on it.

Thanks. I ask because of this Office Mod. The creator mentioned that he's replaced the photo in the office with a different picture.

Funny you should mention that mod, that's where I went to find out where the texture was Turns out that the stock picture is a dds format file. I tried removing the .dds and replacing it with a .tga (like is used in GIEP) and it works fine. So, now it's just a matter of changing a couple of lines of code and rewriting the instructions for the "Uboot" version, which I'm tentatively going to call "Fraulein in jedem Hafen" (unless someone corrects my German, which I last studied when Nixon was president:rotfl

[Digital_Trucker]

Girl in Every Port "Kaluen's edition" now available at http://files.filefront.com/FIJHzip/;.../fileinfo.html . Will adjust first post and make a post in the ATO section shortly.

[Doolittle81]

Fantastic! That's what I call good customer service!!! Thanks!!

Now I need to find some German Pin-Up girls!


Ohh...I think a better translation of "A Girl in Every Port" would be "Ein Mädchen in jedem Hafen"....but obviously the MOD does not need to be changed.

[Digital_Trucker]

Yep, I thought about that translation, too, but I'm partial to the word fraulein for some reason:rotfl:. As for the pictures, Fred has some of Marlene Deitrich that could be resized.

[Doolittle81]

Ive done something wrong. When I run FIJP, it shows an errror: "Error reading main folder". I assume that FIJP cannot find my uniquely named Main Folders (for my two SH4 1.5 installations). Can you help me figure this one out?

Meanwhile, I took the liberty of cropping/resizing Fred8615's Marelene Dietrich Photo package (126 pictures) from the Captains DeskTop Photo (Fleet Boat office) size of 512x686 *'tga files to the Kriegsmarine photo size of 300x384.

I'm assuming you have one install for an American career and one for a German career. As long as you used JSGME to activate it and the folder that's in the MODS folder is named FrauleinImJedemHafen, you should be good to go. The program and a folder named Kaluen'sFrauleins should have been added to your game (outside of the Data folder) and the original graphic for the desk picture removed when you activated with JSGME. The only way that you should get that error would be if the program and the Kaluen'sFrauleins folder weren't in the same place.

Oh, yeah, please don't tell me you're running Vista and your game is installed in the "Program Files" folder:rotfl:

[Doolittle81]

I actually was one of the first people to track down the Program Files quirk/anomaly within a month or so of getting VISTA back in the Spring of 2007. That's not my problem today.


I have four installations of SH4:

C:\MyGames\Silent Hunter\ for the SH4 1.5 American Fleet Boat with RSRD.

D:\SilentHunter 15 German\ for SH4 U-Boat using the Pacific Environment Mod(s) with Operation Monsun.

D:\SilentHunter 15 GermanPE\ for SH4 U-Boat using W_Clear's Environment Effects MOD(s) with Operation Monsun.

D:\SilentHunter14 for the SH4 1.4 version.

Believe it or not, they all run correctly, and I've managed to keep my MOD management under control. I've really only used the Girl in Every Port picture-swapping (all Veronica Lake pics) when running the above mentioned C:\ Fleet Boat installation. GIEP works perfectly there.

I note just today in my troubleshooting that even with the simple D:\ 1.4 installation, GIEP does not work, giving the same error message: "Error reading main folder"

The above leads me to think that GEIP and FIJP somehow are looking for a "main" folder called simply and specifically "Silent Hunter"....That make any sense?

[Digital_Trucker]

Well, yes and no. That error is thrown if the program can't find the folder with the pictures (either Captain'sGirls or Kaluen'sFrauleins) in the same location as the program. You have the program installed via JSGME in each installation, right?

Both programs only look in the folder that they are installed in (unless you specify a start location other than where they are installed in a shortcut to the program). As far as I can tell, the only way that error should appear is if the picture folder is missing. I'll do some testing here, too, and see if I can replicate the error.

[Doolittle81]

Here's what it looks like:

[Digital_Trucker]

Now I'm at a loss. There's only one place in the program where that error message is displayed and that's if the picture folder isn't found.

When did you notice that GIEP wasn't working in your other installation? Do you happen to know if there were any updates to your .NET recently? I tested the same exact setup (although in XP) and it worked fine here (both GIEP and FIJH).

The only thing different about FIJH from GIEP is that it was built using VB 2008 instead of VB 2005 and I have the latest .NET (3.5 I think it is), but none of that would affect the version of GIEP that you have because it was built with VB 2005 and .NET 2.0.

Showing my ignorance: I have NO idea what a .net is.....!!!!!
