[REL] Patchmans Improved Charts Mod

Patchman123 · 02-13-11, 06:04 PM

Ahoy Mateys!! I have created a detailed navigational chart for Silent Hunter 4. I was tired of going past islands in the Dutch East Indies and the Solomon Islands that were not labeled. I have also labeled all the Hawaiian Islands, and have added several remote islands including St. Lawrence island near Alaska and the Galapagos Islands off Ecuador. It took several days to do this, the islands of the Dutch East Indies were particularly difficult due to their size at map scale. I have also improved upon JACE11's labels mod, using his mod as inspiration. I hope you enjoy this mod and find it useful. It is my gift to the virtual sailors of Silent Hunter 4, who have sailed past Southern Pacific islands before during the game. http://www.mediafire.com/file/15d1m2...n%20Charts.rar

Cool! How about some screenies?

Your readme file says this thing will crash the game in single mission mode.
Duh?

How about you post it when it works?

Seems to work fine in stock, it's RFB that's the problem. I have a problem with using it, it gives me white out gauges, and crashes when I log out. Did you try it, and if so do you have any suggestions, I use GIMP 2.0 and not PhotoShop. It seems to be problematic.

Patchman, you may wish to get with the RFB guys, and Ducimus for TMO, and the guys making FOTRS megamods, as this would be a real cool addition to those mods.

They may be able to help you figure out why it is giving you certain issues.

A mod is nice when it adds something like this one does, but it's a real dog, and won't get used much if folks have to worry about CTDs. Last thing someone wants, is to wait for days or weeks before seeing an enemy vessel, and get set up for that perfect shot, only to have the game lock, or drop you on your head.

But I'm glad you decided to tackle this. It would save me from having to keep a geographical mapbook handy to try to figure out which Island is which, especially when there are so many small ones in the Pacific.

Erhm... sorry, but what single mission should give a problem?

I can run it fine in both stock and TMO 2.0a and haven't found a single mission it won't load in?

Have tried zooming in and out everywhere, but can't even get a single CTD. Darned!

Compared files with WinMerge and as far as I can tell it "only" adds names and some minor corrections. Should be perfectly fine...

/edit: will also run with RFB as this comes without campaign files, but not RSRD! Major changes here!
