My thanks to Art Anker for this gem. I'll quote his post from my forum here so you can hear it from the master. I'm posting this because 'Captain' Gruner's advice and tactics also apply to the SH4 Pacific Theatre. Want to watch the Bud movie files without starting up the SHCE game?
The 16 BUD movie files from the SHCE BUD directory are SMK files. SMK is short for 'Smacker' and it is a video format (like.avi,.mpg, or.mov) used in many games like SHCE. I stumbled on an older version of this tool that will play and convert the older SMK movies found in SHCE:.
After installing SmkTools.exe, you can play the approx 25 min of great advice from the old man himself; 'Captain' William P. 'Bud' Gruner! You can also convert the SMK files to AVI and WAV, etc. Bud answers questions like, on a fleet boat at 6 knots submerged your battery will last abt 6 hours (although most submerged operations are performed at 3 kts).
(movie 11.SMK) One thing to keep in mind is that these files are still copyrighted so you need your own SHCE CD. It would probably be illegal to 'share' these or post them to YouTube but I would think you can certainly watch your copies. What I did was install SmkTools.exe by double clicking it after downloading it. Then I made a folder on my HD called SMK_MOVIES and copied the 16 movies from the CD into this folder. There are also a few SMK movie files in the SILENT CINES directory - I've never seen some of these. Also, there may be extra footage in the 16 BUD movies - not sure about that, but it seems like I've never seen all of these either (Huh??).
Anyway then start 'Smacker Tools' From 'All Programs' select the Play tab and browse to where you copied your SMK files. Happy Hunting! Art PS: I installed this on a XP Pro SP3 OS. The main purpose of this patch is to correct some historical inaccuracies in Silent Hunter. It gives all of the S-class boats their historical hull numbers, modifies the layout and/or performance of some classes of subs to reflect historical wartime specifications, and corrects a few annoying little things in the game like engaging the enemy in a surface gun action while cruising along at 35-foot keel depth.
It will also allow you to mount the deck gun forward on the deck of those fleet-class subs that have them mounted aft. It gives the player five options to implement in the game. You may select any or all of the options to install, or choose to restore all options to their original factory settings. This program changes the dimensions of the merchant ships in Silent Hunter to make the sizes of the merchant ships you encounter in the game variable and perhaps more realistic. What Is Microsoft Office Frontpage 2007.
The warships in the game are NOT affected at all by this patch, it only modifies the length, beam, draft, and displacement of the merchant ships. It does NOT alter any of the ships' actual appearance, so a 9000-ton tanker will look exactly like a 16,000-ton tanker in the game. However, the changes this patch make ARE reflected in the Ship ID Book, so you can see what each vessel's dimensions are after you run the program. You can use this program in conjunction with the batch file SILENT.BAT included in the package to automatically change the merchant ships' dimensions each time you start the game. This small utility modifies the default rank of Commander for Silent Hunter skippers. This new version allows you to select either Lieutenant, Lt. Commander, Commander, or Captain as the rank.
Historically, most submarine CO's were Lt. Commanders or Commanders but there were a few exceptions. The rank of Lieutenant was added because many of the S-boats at Manila in the beginning of the war had commanding officers who were Lieutenants. This utility cycles through all of your saved career games and gives you the option to change the crew's experience level. This program is a save game editor for Silent Hunter. It allows you to change the individual submarine you've been assigned in your career campaigns.
