Coming back to SH4 a few ??? please

SNAKE1937 · 03-02-12, 05:59 PM

Coming back and want to play a harder version than the "gold"1.5 .

I down loaded the TMO 2.5 ( it took about an hour). But I can not get it to "go into SH4". I have 7-Zip and downloaded a few other things for other games and had no trouble at all getting them to open into the game and initiliase so I could play them right away.

Is there some magic knowledge that is needed.

I am not in any way at all a GURU so keep it very simple and clear.

Thank you in advance.

Try WinRar.
http://www.win-rar.com/download.html

SNAKE1937 · 03-02-12, 08:34 PM

I just downloaded WinRAR 64bit and it will not "open" or install TMO in to SH4.

I have win 7 and a very upscale gaming computer but not much in the way of computer knowledge. But Like I said I did loat some games yesterday and installed several downloads into them.

When I go to "my downloads" and select "open with" I am given a window
that list 7-Zip and WinRAR. I select WinRAR and it switchas to another screen where no mater how long I wait or what I do nothing happens.

This can not that tough, or is it.

Lots of clear instructions please.

Find a girl friend with a fast internet connection and re-download it. Your download file is corrupt.

Are you using JSGME to install mods? If not you will want to install it and use it. It is easier to install mods in this way.

SNAKE1937 · 03-03-12, 01:26 PM

Every time I go to the JSEME web site listed within SH4 forums I end up shopping for gifts and get a site not working pop up.

All I could see in the info. for downloading the TMO 2.5 was to get 7 zip or winRAR, which is just what I did.

As for the "less than helpfull" guy who suggested that I get a girlfrend to
help me download I say %&*$#@(*&^} to you.

I have had a super "girlfriend", my wife, for 50 years as of last August.

Why the moderator did not catch that one is a wonder. That would not be tollerated at other forums.

TO THE POINT. Just what do I need to do to get TMO installed into SH4 gold ed. ??

You absolutely need JSGME to install just about every mod here. This is the direct link to the download site:

http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/sof...cts-jsgme.html

Having just returned to playing the game again after a long absence, I know it can be a pain to find our favorite tools/mods/utilities. That link works (I used it just a few days ago) and will install the latest version of JSGME. Follow the instructions to install it, then check the TMO documentation to install that mod.

As for irish's comment, I don't think it was meant in a malicious way. True, he could've said "friend" instead of girlfriend, but I think he meant well - your download file might have been corrupted, try downloading it again from another PC. That's who I read it, at least

Welcome back

Another vote for 7zip. It absolutely takes Winrar out back of the barn and beats it with a bamboo cane! It will read everything Winrar does and then adds in all the other conceivable compression schemes too. And it's not shareware that you have to be an outlaw to use for free, it's absolutely free and leaves you an honest individual. That's worth a lot in my estimation.

WernherVonTrapp · 03-03-12, 03:10 PM

If you already have 7.zip and it failed to open the file (along with winrar), I'm going to surmise (as previously stated) that the original download file is corrupt. Try downloading it again.
