Italian Atlantic Campaign for SH4 + OM V2.0 RELEASED
Buongiorno Marinai! I am happy to announce the release of Version 2.0 of my Italian Campaign for SH4 + OM. All patches and fixes released for the first version have been united into a single, JSGME-ready file. And some more things have been added, but more about that as we go along. This mod enables you to play as a Submarine of the italian Navy in the Atlantic. Work on this began when I downloaded the Adua-class submarine model made by keltos. It included a well made 3D model and italian weapons with historically accurate values to them. But it had no crew, no missions and most importantly, no career. This mod changes that. IMPORTANT: You need SH4 + u-boat missions and the "Dark waters" mod, that you can get here: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=243322 Here my modlist: OM_DarkWaters_V6 OM_U-Jagd OM_Warm_Clothes OM_Italian_Campaign 2.0 Let me introduce you to the mods main features, and a little history: BETASOM Short for "Bordeaux Sommergibile", this was the codename for the italian submarine base in Bordeaux, France. From 30. of August 1940 until the italian armistice on the 3. of Septmeber 1943 Bordeaux served as base of operations for Regia Marina subs operating in the Atlantic. You will command one of them. THE SUBMARINE The Sub under your command is of the "Adua" series, itself part of the "600" class of submarines. The most important technical data: Displacement: 686 long tons Length: 60,18m Max speed: 14 knots surfaced / 7,5 knots submerged Range: 3180nmi Test depth: 80m Armament: 4x bowtubes, 2x sterntubes, 1x 100mm OTO gun, 2x hotchkiss machineguns AUTHENTICITY Meant by this are the mod features meant to immerse you in the setting. Medals, both for you and your crew, have been replaced with italian ones, so have the crew icons. The Aces in the "top aces list" in port have been replaced with historical italian ones. But the single biggest factor in this category is the voicepack. I have refurbished an old italian voicepack for SH2, added some voicelines from the italian movie "la grande speranza" (great film btw) and eccoci! FUTURE PATCHES The work is by no means done. Future patches will concentrate on improving visual aspects, add a Med campaign and address bugs. Speaking of bugs... BUGS I have not managed yet to change the default hydrophone. When starting a new career, first thing, go into the upgrades screen and manually install the hydrophone named "idrofono". It should cost you no renown. The torpedo texture? Still fugged XwX For some reason, medals show up in the box in port, but when you click on it, only the "document" on the right hand side loads...yeah, i will look into it. When using time compression while diving or underwater, DO NOT USE THE MINUS KEY TO GO BACK TO NORMAL SPEED. Instead press Backspace, otherwise the audio will bug out.

Nice .
But it would be nicer to have a Mediterranean based campaign instead. I think it would fit the short range of the submarine better. You also need to add a custom made CrewMembers.upc so you get the proper crew in the boat without having to recruit them from the pool of sailors the game offers. But it's a great start. I added it to my DW install and worked quite well. |

I can't do anything, but applaude
Finally a real first step to create an Italian Mod for SH4. Hope in future we'll unite our forces to finish the old "Rapidi ed Invisibili" project.

I have run into a new problem
The Adua Sub does not have a Hydrophone! I have tried tinkering with the Equipment and UpgradePack files but nothing i do seems to help. Could anyone help me out with this one please? |

Solved the problem
Just download the second patch, it will allow you to install the "Type 0" hydrophone in port for just 50 renown points. |

Fantastic
I really like how it's going with your project: really enjoyable. I have some skills as a sound modder, so if you would like in future some help for an updated version of the sound mod, you're about to ask. PS: idk if you aready done it, but about the Tools, TDC, submanagement pictures etc (if you want to italianize them), maybe you could ask to jimimadrid (he's doing an incredible job for the classic SH4 interfereance).
