Your help would be welcomed

the file that you download should look like this when you unzip it.


OM_DarkWaters_V6 is the folder-set that you should store.
Here is the JSGME config in my DW installation.
Read the material in the SUPPORT folder.

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Ubisoft\OpMonsun\MODS]

1 Dark Waters V6
2a OM_Harder_Escort_L2
2b OM_Strategic_Map_Symbols
2c OM_SubFlag_When_Snorkel
2d OM_UMark
2e OM_Pac_Env
OM_U-Jagd

in reviewing the messages it seems that most if not all of them are High Priority. that may force the TC to 1 despite the Radio TC that you set in Main.cfg.
in truth, i have never tested or changed the message log, just took it as it came.
someone else here may be able to confirm or refute what i think to be true.

Ran across the boat unable to move bug that is mentioned in the Thread OP and tried the fix listed there.

I have the missing compartments problem. & cant seem to get it to fix by using the method. I've tried doing it a few different ways(in case i misunderstood the directions), but so far without success.
I can change the crew this way, to the default crew, but that didn't alter the ship from the dysfunctional one that is missing crew slots etc.

So I definitely must be missing something in the process somewhere.

Reread, in the very 1st post of the thread:

Only 1 mod to activate! Original OM is included in Dark Waters.

Once Dark Waters activated, you will find in your Jsgme 10 optional add-on mods. They have to be activated after Dark Waters in whatever order only if you need it:

There, is your answer. Activate Dark Waters, then in jsgme you will find the 10 additional mods, that are part of OM.

Here are my problems:
1. I loose oxygen while Snorkeling
2. I get CTDs whenever I am near AM grid.

1) Snorkels are bugged from the original game and none can fix it. Surface at night to refresh air is about the best solution.

2) CTDs are a bit harder to diagnose, I'll have to hand that one off to someone more experienced in the game and mod.

Ahoy, A Soviet Fanboi...

A couple of things come to mind...

1st off, what is the source of your SH4 copy you're using. Followed up by, just where do you have it installed. Are you free basing the mod into SH4 or are you using jsgme to inject the mod into SH4., With running SH4, after you've modded it.. are you using either a 4GB patch, along with it all, or even using Large Address Aware..?

Important info, to know.. so if you would be so kind, as to supply that info.. it will help in getting things sorted out to rights & get you rolling in the hunt.

i did more research and it seems that HIGH priority radio messages directed to you will slow TC to 1.
Low priority message will not change the TC.
so, if you are up to the task, you can change the priority of the messages but there a lot of them.
Look in Campaigns\Campaign\Message.txt.
Good luck.

I am using sh4 copy which I got from my friend. I have installed the game on D drive, I have used jsgme to install the mod and I have applied the 4gb patch.
Maybe because I am running the mod in 1366x768 resolution, I am getting these problems. (Sorry for my bad English because it's not my native language)

Hey, no worries.. your english, is likely loads better than My trying to speak (or for that matter, even attempting to type) your language...

Hmm, Ok.. with that.. is that on a CD/DVD disk, a copy, ripped from a disk, or access to their copy via Steam or Ubisoft.?

As for where it is installed, looks good... that I can see of there.

On the front, with jsgme.. care to click on tasks, scroll down to the last choice in the pop up menu (export activated mod list to> ) & select 'copy to clipboard' your activated mods list, so you can paste that in with your reply back, if you would, sir.

As far as I know of.. resolution selection... shouldn't really have any effect on the game. All that does is allows you to see things better, accordingly.. With your monitor, what's its native resolution scale.. exactly, if you would.? I know there is going through Windows settings & checking out what it is reporting is your monitors resolution, which would be tagged as 'recommended', as I recall of. Main point is, the screen size should match up in game, along with what windows is recognizing as your monitors native resolution scale... but outside of that, can't recall that causing issues with CTD's... others here may chime in & confirm or refute that...

The only thing I can think of, is that the patch may or may not have.. 'taken hold' when you ran it.. that can & does occasionally occur. which.. could be accounting for your running into CTD's.. of course, not knowing what the mod configuration is, exactly in your jsgme, could also possibly play a part in having CTD issues as well, that I can recall of. Which is why, it'll help to be able to eyeball your activated mod list from your jsgme. It'll help.

Yeah, KM.. can confirm, that messages are hit & miss as to what is relegated to drop travel down to 1x on TC.. whereas other messages.. won't even be a blip on the TC radar. *shrugs* It is what it is..

I just focus on the ones that drop Me back down to normal space when I do use TC, at all.. as it were, as I see using TC as like akin to warp speed or light speed... take your sci fi pic o' flavor there...

So here are the mods which I have activated:
Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[D:\Silent Hunter 4 Dark Waters\MODS]

OM_DarkWaters_V6
OM_Strategic_Map_Symbols
OM_U-Jagd

The game is CD Ripped. And my pc's native resolution is 1366x768 and the game is recognizing the resolution and nearly everything is visible on the game interface.
And most importantly my PC's RAM is 4gb so is that the issue here?
And Lmao don't call me sir I am just a teen.

Anyways thanks

Do you have LAA activated on the SH4.exe file, and did you empty the Save folder ("C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH4" by default) prior to starting DW?

Looks very good. Thank you for this.
