There is an FAQ in the TMO Support File. It would be a really good idea to read it.

TMO uses some of the files needed by the U-boat Missions. If you want to play the German side you must enable the U-boat Fix over TMO. If you play TMO unaltered, the U-boat missions are disabled, hence the "---"

BTW does the buff in your usrname refer to Buffalo, NY?

Ah stupid noob me, didnt see that, found it a bit of a nightmare finding the mods and picking the right ones in the first place, think Im there now anyway.

Ill have a read.

No the names a nickname my friends Dad called me when I visited him in Australia, based on the fact he laughed at my fuzzy head of hair one morning.

This is off topic for this thread, but I need some help. I had the Masterhawk405 name, some how when i changed something in my profile, my masterhawk405 name was locked, so me had to make this name up. Can you make me a siggie with the same pic but with Masterhawk504 name?

I've got a question about the chart indications. On the japanese ships you see 3 circles. One is a large complete circle, one is a partial circle (I take it that this is the distroyers sonar) and then there is the smaller circle. What do these circles mean? And does the visual circle take into consideration the small size of a surfaced sub or are they for a pariscope, is that the attack scope or the large scope? Speaking of the large scope, what is the purpose of this scope since I seem to be able to do everything with the attack scope?
Thanks

Hi Masterhawk


I can make you up a new sig with no problem. But, let me see if I can get the powers that be to see if we can unlock your original one. Keep an eye on your PMs, and I'll get back to you.

Can you explain the reasoning here? My past experience generically (i.e. in general, not the SH series) is that installing a game anyplace besides the default often causes trouble later (e.g. patches won;t install right, etc...).

Primarily this is a Vista issue. Any program installed in Program Files is treated differently by Vista. Any .txt type file is by default read only and modifications to any of those files are ignored by Vista unless you know what you are doing. Fixes are therefore difficult to do. Mods some times do not "take".

SHIV patches will find the program no matter where you house it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Didn't know that.. .new to Vista last system I bought came preloaded... MS seems to merit even more with Vista and anti-trust suit. Anyhow, if I installed say on drive L: under Program Files, would this avoid the fact that Vista treats programs in "Program Files" differently?

There is an easier way. Create a Folder directly off your C drive and name it "Games" then install SHIV in that directory. It's Only the Programs Files folder that it treats differently. You could always just copy the entire SHIV Folder to the Games folder you created and be able to play two different versions without shifing MODs in and out.
