Constant rotating AA guns in SH4 FOTRSU

Thefroglord · 11-15-22, 02:58 PM

At first I thought this was just a glitch in the museum however once I started a mission on a Gato Class the AA gun spins and spins and seems to be stuck in loop animation or something?

Did you empty the Save folder after activating FotRSU and before playing the game? After you go into the Museum, did you re-start the game before playing a career and vice versa? Have you enable a 4 gig patch on the SH4.exe file? What folder do you have your SH4 installed in?

I've tried everything. From what I can gather only the single 20mm AA guns is the one stuck in the constant animation loop all others seem to be just fine. I am also now unable to move the deck gun?

I was able to fix the single 20 mm AA by reinstalling the whole thing. The only mod I had was the patch. However I am still unable to make the deck cannon move. Not sure if that's due to the weather (waters are pretty calm and suns out) or it's a bug. And as of now the only mod I have is the patch.

When and how are you attempting to move the deck gun? When you say "move", are you referring to rotation and elevation, or bow mount to aft mount?

Thefroglord · 11-16-22, 07:01 PM

Trying to move it up and down and all around yes. When, when the sea is calm to calmish and the how by hot keying to the deck gun.

Edit - And using the mouse to move it

Use the "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Front.jpg" and "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Back.jpg" picture files to find the correct keys and procedures to use. Those files are in the "root" folder of the game. The deck guns are slow-moving to begin with, but more so if you do not have a gun crew positioned on them and you then try to use them yourself. The reloading especially is slow without a gun crew. If you use the <F10> key to go to the deck gun station, you want to then click an unused area of screen (the sea) with your mouse, and then "point" the cursor toward your intended target, or use the arrow keys, modified with the Shift key. Once the gun finally rotates near to what you want, then use the <Tab> key to "zoom-in" to the sighting gratical, do final adjustments with either the mouse or the <left-right> and <up-down> arrow keys, or speed things up with using the <Shift> key. Space bar fires the gun.
