ETR3(SS) has made threads for the playable ships and for the playable subs so check out the links and let him know if he missed anything.


we cant put every mod on the list but if you guys see some of the more popular mods that arent listed then let me know and i'll try to add them (but confirm they have working downloads first, many werent listed because of that)

also let me request that anyone with saved files of sh3 or sh4 mods please upload them to subsim downloads section if they arent already there so that they can be shared and they are preserved for everyones use in the future.

Well said. This is/was something that bothers me about mods. Become one of the "Modmen" or have one of us upload it for you here.

After many years of playing the SH series I finally have the time & $$ to set sail with SH4. Need advice on the best setup procedure to load the game and updates (1.4 or 1.5) along with recommended mods (trigger maru or ?). This will be on an Intel dual core, 3ghz, 2GB ram with a GTX 9800 card. It'll play on a 46" HDTV when my wife give me the remote control back ~Thanks

The rig should be more than sufficient to run SH4. I would recommend though to get the U-Boat add-on so you can install the latest versions of TMO or RFB. The U-Boat add-on will patch your game to version v1.5, so you don't need to download the patch.

Which programm allows me to open and tweak .dds and .tga files ?

Get SH4 with the UBoat Missions add on. It has all the updates wrapped into one. That will give you the 1.5 version. You can buy the package together or get the UBoat Missions separately, I beileve.

My brother Bishop and I have been working on and playing a new MOD for multiplayer. we have built an environment/upgrade MOD for sh4 1.5 and have tested it with stock sh4 1.5 multiplayer with no problems. In another MOD pack we have 8 surface ships Battleships, Heavy Cruiser, Light Cruiser, Destroyer, and a PT Boat. all work in multiplayer. Im always game for a multiplayer matchup and i suggest you try using tunngle. read up on it. and heres the download

also here is some links to media and the mod packs built by Bishop and I here

hope to sail with you all soon. Our Mod is not for jsgme since we believe that it doenst work as some believe it does. once you enable a mega mod with jsgme your core game is altered and you will NOT be able to play with others online. you will drop out of game. our mod should be done as a game overwrite. extract the rar and drag & drop the silent hunter folder into your ubisoft folder and click yes to overwrite and merge. mega mods are fun but only good for single player or multiple installs. if you have installed any mega mod "Fall of the rising sun" ect you will have to reinstall SH4 before you will be able to play with others online, unless they are also using the same mod you are. To repeat, "Our mod is totally compatible with stock SH4 1.5" You WILL be able to play with anyone using this mod or stock SH4 1.5. Enjoy the new stuff and see yas soon on the open seas. PS the ship pack is for jsgme enabling one by one. You can use multiple ships at a time just make sure you enable all the ships your buds are using, then the one YOU want to use LAST. the "DDenvironment" pack is a game overwrite. check us out for multiplayer games @ http://www.comsubspac.com/
