A little help with TM 1.4 please

[pocatellodave]

How would one change the way enemy ships icons appear on the map so you get a idea where they are headed.All there is now,is a round ball type marker,w/o a pointing arrow,for lack of a better word.I know that is way arcadish for some of you skippers,but I play at normal difficult level,and I don't use manual targeting.I really feel stupid for asking for help with such a problem,but thats the way I enjoy playing.I feel 85 on Ducimus difficulty setup is fair enough,I just don't care to do all the targeting work.
I have said it before and I'll say it again,Ducimus and all the other modders have very simply made SH4 a superb sim,and w/o them,we skippers wouldn't have nearly as great a sim as SH4 is.Salute to them all!
Thank you for any help in advance.

Delete these two files from the mod and your map pretty much goes back to the way it looked in SH4 1.3

data/menu/gui/ContLline.dds
data/menu/gui/DashLine.dds

Yes, Kudo's to Ducimus for his excellent Mod Pack, and his documentation. It is so well done that I was able to add my own favorite mod to his package with ease. Now I can "have it all"!

Its really very scalable for those seeking a different experience. I am very happy with SH4 now.

Except these files don't restore the sihouettes. The black blob remains. Any idea what file you need to get these back?

Check out the main Trigger Thread, something was just posted there, though it sounds like it may take some time to do the editing.

Hello!

I just want to ask question related to TM.

How to install it? JSGME shows, that TM is activated, but i don't see no difference!!! Nothing changed.

What could be wrong?

Install JSGME again, making sure to install it to the SH4 Root Directory c:\program files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter4.

When the installation is finished you will find 4 extra files in your SH4 folder.....
Jonesoft.txt
JSGMEhelp.txt
JSGME Example.jpg
JSGME.exe

Double click on the JSGME.exe file, this will create the MODS folder. I think the newest version does this itself.

Make Desktop shortcuts for the JSGME and the Mods folder. On my Desktop, I have the JSGME, the Mods folder, and a folder called 'Mods Downloads'.

When you have a mod you want to activate in your game, do this:

1)Download the Mod to your designated folder.
2)Extract Mod using the 'Extract Here' option.
3)Drag and drop the extracted Mod into the Mods folder on your Desktop. Click on JSGME and enable the Mod.

The Mod should now enable within SH4.

Thanks for help! Problem solved!

WOW!!! TM mod is amazing! It changed atmosphere of the game... I'm total noob in SH series, but I'm starting to love it. I'm trying to play almost on 100% difficulty. The only one setting I left unticked is "No map contact update". I must learn so much about SH... One fast question - how I can reset TDC?
