Ship Identification Guide

skirich · 08-15-19, 06:52 PM

I'm playing SH4 - American Career, set for Hard, so I only have manual targeting.
I noticed I cant pull up the Ship ID guide either. Which I would think the subs would ave regardless of difficulty.

Is there a link to the PDF version of the guide, or a trick or mod to add back the guide when playing hard mode?

If you don't have any mods added, and are playing Stock, then pressing the <N> key should get you the recognition manual. However, you do have to be on the periscope page, not the attack map or anywhere else. Only the periscope - or TBT on the bridge... When on the periscope or TBT, there should be a button the menu for that page to bring the manual up. If it is not showing from that, you might have "mod soup" if you've added mods that conflict with each other.

Are you running the game with any activated mods?

Kuhl. CapnScurvy made OTC nice and slick, eh? The bearing tool can be a bit of a memory hog, but is cool. If you have a 64-bit OS, then be sure and activate either the 4gig Patch from here, or use LAA, as outlined by CapnScurvy in "Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install. The first says WinXP, and the 2nd says Windows 10, but both apply to the SH4.exe file, and set bits in the executable that then show Windows that the game is capable of addressing more memory. The first, from privateer, is a simple little applet. The 2nd uses the Windows dotNet for its functionality. In both cases, they are useable by any of the Windows 64-bit OSes to allow the game more "breathing room" in your computer's RAM, allowing smoother game play and less "stuttering".
