Hi, i'm new to editing in SH4 but i'm kinda familiar with editing in other games. I'm use to just editing most things in notepad but when i open a .zon file or .sim file all i get is half english an half...it seems unreadable.

example:

reload��"���Range�
���range��<F
���angle���4B���ammo_storage�$���AP����shell�Ì–�É Gp'
���amount��}��$���HE����shell�Ì–�É«ÇZ
���amount��}��$���AA����shell���������
���amount��}��$���SS����shell���������
���amount��}������Fire����effect�j;šçÖæk—

I'm trying to edit ammo storage, sub speed, weapons power, ext.

I downloaded silent3editor but all i get is half bits of stuff and never teh real meat of what i want.

My game works fine so i know its not a bad file.

please help

After many years of playing just the vanilla game of SH3 & SH4. I am now messing around with some of the mods available.

Graphics/Audio Question:

Will "skin mod" effect Multiplayer connection?

1. If i have a skin modification to my sh4 files. Will open server MP players be able to connect to my hosted game?

2. I guess I need to ask about audio sound modifications too?

There are many ships and subs to choose from here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...hp?do=cat&id=6

I recommend the Ohio beta as a new sub that is superb to play as but there are ships and subs here to be found that fit just about anyone's taste, Happy hunting.

Fuel range: S3D, open submarinename.sim file. Unit_Submarine/Ranges

You can use a 40 bill bill, but I don't think the mike mike works. You could put the Iowa main turret on there if you know how.

The last tower for the S class is put on in August 42 and the 40mm is not available until October, so you would have to make some changes. I'm not sure how accurate it would be.
In data/UPCData/UPCUnitsData/UnitParts4Sclass.upc at the bottom:

[UnitPart 3.UpgradePackSlot 1]
ID= UpgAAGun
NameDisplayable= Anti-Aircraft Gun
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=USLightAA,USHeavyAA
UserCustomizable=Yes
IDLinkUpgradePackSlots= CTForeAA
IDLinkUpgradePackSlotsIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1942-10-08, Upack20mmSingle
IDLinkUpgradePackSlotsIntervalDefault2= 1942-10-08, NULL, Upack40mmSingle

Add the stuff in green then test.

16 inch gun on a pig boat?

[indy]

Hello Guys.
Here's a great mod for SH4. Its a version of the "zoomable external camera" mod, that elanaiba was nice enough to make, per my request, (hes on my Christmas list)

What it does is add zoom levels to the external camera view - activated with the mouse wheel. Current levels are 1x, 10x, 20x.

Installation:
Simply drop included cameras.cam file in <SH4 folder>/Data/Library. There shouldn't be any file with that name, so don't overwrite anything.

It needs to be in the same location as cameras.dat, but that's normally true. To remove the mod just delete the cameras.cam file.

Original mod idea belongs to stabiz.

Hope you guys like it as much as I do, many thanks to Stabiz and Elanaiba. You guys a great. Indy

Um i put the gun on the boat, however i need to find the rotation value of the gun and change it so as the gun can move better than 30* left or right can you help?

[Grayghost59]

I had been running the game with the disc and having alot of crashes. Since I found you could run without the disc I havn't had the first crash in game. Could this be the answer to the magic question as to why the crashes?Thought I'd pass it along. Thanks to all of you for making a great game even better!
