Please donīt use Rapidshare to host your files, many people canīt download from there due to the way Rapidshare works, also they delete files that havenīt been downloaded for 30 days.

Filefront (http://www.filefront.com/) allows files up to 1GB and they donīt automatically delete old files.

MediaFire (http://www.mediafire.com/) allows files up 100MB, supports download managers and currently holds files for an unlimited time.


File Hosting for the SH Community (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=130714) by SWCowboy.

If you wanna make sure that your files are always available for download, upload them to at least two different file sharing services.

Thread Tags - Link to original thread tags post (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=107790)

Please use the following tags when you start a new thread:

[WIP] for work-in-progress mods
[REL] for released mods
[REQ] for mod requests
[TEC] for technical discussions

A few examples:
[TEC] How can I edit .sim files?
[REQ] More deck gun ammo
[WIP] Skin repaint for Gato class

One advantage is that you can search for those tags using the forum search, this make it possible to, for example, get a list of all released or WIP mods.

Just wanted to let everyone know - to reduce the clutter at the top of the forum, I have now put all the links to former sticky threads into this thread. So, you will not lose track of important mod threads if they go down, fear not!

If there is anything I missed - let me know!

I think you've overlooked this one: 1.4 Patch Compatible Mods List (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=126875)....still valid, as long as not "everyone" is on 1.5 yet.

Place to post them and should we all use the same download place or does it matter ?

Regards
Jib01

BTW, how do you get your mod added to the list since someone else maintains it ?

I have confirmed where this mod should be used. THIS SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH RSRDC OR TMO. THIS IS USED ONLY FOR THE STOCK 1.5 VERSION OF THE U-BOAT ADDON.

IF YOU HAVE THESE BUILDINGS

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=134822

DO NOT USE THIS PATCH...

================================================== ================================================

USE ONLY IF YOU HAVE THIS PENANG DOCK AND BUILDING SET

http://members.cox.net/wjibby/Default Penang with fix.jpg

================================================== ================================================

This fixes ALL the problems at the 4 U-boat bases in the game when you start from the dock.

Many ships that were mislocated have been relocated so they are not sunk.
Start locations for the U-boats have been placed where the shoveoff music is.
Some start locations did not have the shoveoff music, only two had.

Caution to all Designers....
These must be the default files to use from now on for any addons or upgrades unless you change the docks and Jap_traffic.
EVERYONE SHOULD UPDATE WITH THIS SMALL PATCH UNLESS YOU ARE USING RSRDC OR TMO

Regards
Jib01

If you have any problems please PM me.

Hello,

I can not find this 1.5 patch. :oops:

Somebody can indicate me a link, please.

Thank you

[except if 1.5 patch = U-boat missions. If is the case, this DVD/patch is enough, or I need the pache 1.4 before, and after install the DVD ????]

Hello NGT,

The U Boat Missions add-on will bring a "clean" install of 1.0 (or any later version) up to version 1.5.
First do the installation up to the version you want, and then install JGSME http://jonesoft.jaennahre.com (http://jonesoft.jaennahre.com/) and then add the Mod(s) that you want through JGSME.

Thank you very much for the answer.

I know about JSGME, I am an old fan of SH 3 (30 years game time in patrol...)

Again, thank you.:up:

Could anyone tell me which SMALL mod would install a circular bearing chart on the Attack Map? I really don't want to install a large mod like TM. Is there anything like a small mod that adds that feature?
Thanks
