[REL] Playable S-Boot ( Final )

[JScones]

Thanks mate. Looking forward to giving it a spin.

i have an idea!

why don't you create a skin for italian ptboats and a mediterranean campaign (with tobruk,or la spezia as base)? it would be a great thing for all the italian community, pleaseeee

grat mod! it is fantastic!

Downloaded V1. Had a bit of trouble running it, the old CTD trouble.

I'd been too quick and had activated the mod part career -

deleted careers and started a fresh one. Ran ok.

Even enjoyed it, sank three ships, including a C2! nearly 10k in total.

Only one problem (isn't there always?) Kept telling me 'not enough crew for flak guns!' at first I could only operate the 3.7 (my favourite anyway) but later in the patrol, I ordered guns crew and it only allowed me to operate the two 20mm!. Not nice especially as I was tangling with another C2 and I'd missed it with my last torpedo - too cocky!

Any idea about the flak crew? I'd filled all four places, admittedly with raw crew (1st patrol). But that's never been a problem before

hi, im new. sorry if this has been covered but the thread is very long. can this mod run with GW 1.1? I don't think my puter can run 2.0, i tried 2.0 and it would never get passed the loading screen. does anyone know?

ps. GW 1.1 is awesome, i've been playing it for about a week now

I say - give it a go. I use NYGM mod again becuase I'm running an old machine and GWX 2.1 really makes it graft.

Only thing to remember - don't try to run S-Boote mod and expect to use the sam SHIII installation for normal gaming. Best pan is to have an extra copy of SHIII (with whatever flavour of MOD you use solely for S-Boote. Otherwise you get odd funnies because of changes having been made by the mod.

The mod itself is great fun - so I'd say - go for it. The worst that can happen is it won't work, and if your using an extra installation all you need to do is delete it.

has anyone noticed any problems caused by the S-boot mod the the main (uboat) game?

I have been using JSGME to install and uninstall the mod several times and I have not noticed any problems when I go back to my subs. Just want to check to see what these problems are just in case. :hmm:

figured as much! thanks Mikayl!

dont mean to be annoying but seems everyone is saying that you should have a seperate install as it causes "odd funnies" as johnm above said. i have had no issues and you say it all good so thats good!

sorry, my mistake. I was refering to running a u-boat career WITHOUT uninstalling the S-Boote mod.

Apart from that, as Mikhay says, it's easier to have two installations and then you can 'tune' your mod selections to either S-Boote or U-Boat.

When you order to man the guns only three men get on deck. It seems as if one has to put the fourth one on station manually.

Yes, I've had that problem, but the difficulty I was having with 'not enough crew for flak guns!' was that I had got 4 crew members manning them. At first they were sailors - non-qualified but later I had a qualified flak gunner. The only thing I could thionk of was that unqualified crew didn't provide enough manning (i.e the old green strip - which doesn't show in the mod). I also found that by moving my qualified man into a differant slot meant I could man the 37mm and not the 20mms guns and vice versa. Most odd.

That mod is VERY outstanding...yesterday I was on patrol in the Mediterranean Sea when I found a taskforce composed by three sloops, a County-class heavy cruiser and the AQUITANIA ...i ran toward the liner under a fire storm coming from the enemy line. Fired my two torps when I was at some 3000yds from the liner and then the usual 180° turn to starboard to left the scene...TORPEDO TREFFER!!!...TORPEDO TREFFER!!!...both little children hit...she sank in less than fifteen minutes .
The most surprising thing is that my boat was perfectly OK...no one shell hit me !
