I haven't played in a long time. Witcher 3 sucked me in then I have to tackle Fallout 4 when the mod kit comes out. I miss it though.

HI all, anyone got who knows where I could get (download) this mod for OM?

- Lifeboats v1.2 for Operation Monsoon (or 1.0)

Cheers,

I thought that I was the only one playing sh4, but finding this thread shows me wrong- glad to see that.
been playing this for about 4 months now-the pacific wolfs- love it.
have put in manually many mods listed for sh4 and even a few sh5 mods- mainly torp upgrade-deck gun upgrade and number of guns-smaller radar reports-tower upgrade to 2 aa guns-better radar-and several others.
still have not found anyway to switch to fore or aft deck guns during battle like you can between the aa guns-wish there was a way!
I want to thank all of you who have done so much modding out there because your hard work has made a good game into a great game-THANK YOU!!

I haven't played for a few months; been busy with modding (), and some other things, but I want to take up my career again.

Experimenting with mods always derails my careers. I find I just don't have the energy to do both.

Its great that we have modders out there, makes life interesting!!! Moving the goalposts sometimes is like having a new qame. THanks to all modders for your hard work.

I think I commented already on this thread (not sure)

I play it at maximum settings, and it runs beautifully. The game looks utterly incredible, even by today's standards, and it provides a submarine simulation that is so accurate and amazing, one that has never been beaten. And don't even start on the community.

love you Subsim

I must try that one day, max settings. I do admit I play it as a game first and foremost and have it set on 'normal'.

The reason for that is another game, FC2; which when set on highest is almost impossible as they know I am coming before I do! So when I play it 'normal' its actually realistic.

Keep up the good work Captain

Thanks a bunch, Devil. Like you said, you should really try it on ultra. It's looks incredibly realistic, especially in the rain or at sunset. I really enjoy just stopping the sub and watching.

yes, i am playing SH$. Got to the party earlier this year. the problem was that i working with a WinXP machine that was maxed at 1G RAM. bought the SH4 1.5 version and loaded on a work laptop with 3G RAM and fell in love. went out and bought a new DELL with 8G RAM I7 quad. it screams.

so, now i am reviewing all of the posts from 2007-8 when the sim first appeared. making some mods of my own. nothing big and hairy just tweaks here and there. always interested in discussions.

Talking of airplane reduction. I just go into the air.cfg file and reduce ranges. Before it was untweaked I once had to dive near pearl due to air attack!!!

Then the US planes thought you were an enemy.

too obvious, but no, they were sporting the red sun on their wings

Since I'm playing on a toaster (Pentium 4 CPU) I really can't play newer games (not that I even want to). I just stick with my sims and strategy games.

Ruprecht 69 · 12-19-15, 05:47 AM

Hi guys,

Love this game still!
Unfortunately I'm not using any mods as I'm a total klutz when it comes to things like that; I don't understand how to link them to the game, where to store them etc etc.....
If anyone would be so kind as to help me that'd be fantastic!
Think of me as your 92 year old granny.......I have no concept of files, mods etc....
Merry Christmas dudes!

TorpX · 12-19-15, 10:51 PM

I'll try to provide a short outline of what you need to do.

1. You should have v1.5 of Silent Hunter 4. This is the latest version of the game and is required for most mods. It's the 'U-boat missions' version. It doesn't matter if you want to play U-boats or not; you still need this version.

2. You should install the game in a place other than program files. For example: C:\MyGames\SilentHunter4

3. Get '7-zip' and install that. You will need this to unzip mods that you download. Most mods/files/programs you download will be in some kind of compressed format. It can unzip most any format of file.

4. Install JSGME. You unzip, and install this in the SH4 folder and run it. It should create a 'Mods' folder in your game folder. It will allow you to install/uninstall mods much more easily. Most mods are 'JSGME ready', so they can be conveniently installed by JSGME. The alternative is to manually exchange files yourself, which is a lot more trouble when large number of files are involved.

5. Download one, or a few mods, unzip them and put them in the 'Mods' folder JSGME created, where your game is installed.

Make sure that that you do not have an extra folder when the mods are installed. The folder structure should be like this:

..\Mods\XYZmod\Data...

not:

..\Mods\XYZmod\XYZmod\Data...

If there is an extra folder, it will prevent JSGME from swapping out the files in the mod, and you will not get any benefit from the mod.

6. Run JSGME, and activate the mods you want to use. Then start up the game, and play.

You can get 7-zip and JSGME HERE.
