Just installed SH2, need advice on MODs

[kramer03]

Ok, so now that im installed and running, i was looking for advise on what Mods i should get? There are sooo many options on the subsim site, that i think i could use some advice on which ones are best. Any suggestions? :ping:

[Reinhard Hardegen]

SH2Patch1.1
PM103Intall_Eng
Vickers oil slick
Vicker fireball
Das Boot Scope
ProjektSchwertfisch
ProjektSchwertfisch_SP2

Just to name a few, but the ones I play with. I have them all if you need them. I have over 100 mods on my server for SH2.

Howdy ya I just reinstalled this as well. This is what I think is the latest and greatest. I tend to go for realistic gameplay.

Install SH2

2) Install the official v1.01 patch

3) Install PM 1.03

4) Install Vicker's Oil Slick 3.0 and Vicker's Fireball addon

5) Install Fletcher's Enhancement Mod 2.3

6) Rainmod.zip (this one makes the rain not white and looks the best)

7) macstu23_SH2moon

8) SHII_New_Sun

9) SHII_BlueMaps

10) reticlemod

11) SH2awardfix

12) bergen_sh2_menus

13) tdc_gauge1

14) Sound Mod ProjektSchwertfisch (this one really spices it up too)

15) I have not tried Seedlers Sky or Land Mod, have not been able to find them on internet.

16) Then install Aces Random Campaign 2.0

17) I think Fletchers realism mod 2.3 has either Uboatmod 2.2 and DES5v3 mod included in it. Or is the latest work in trying to improve game in this area. Not real sure though.

These mods above seem to improve the game where needed. And so far is all that I am using. Hope this helps you get started.

Anyone with more knowledge please chime in.

Hi Reinhard sending you a PM. Ya I am interested in a few mods you got. Have a few questions also.

My ProjektSchwertfisch file when I right click on it, it says version 2.0 is this
ProjektSchwertfisch_SP2?

You know anthing about Fletchers realism mod 2.3 versus Uboatmod 2.2 or DES5v3 mod. Is Fletchers the best? Can these be mixed for better results?

Every heard of Arlo Waves Mod?

Is there a Projekt Schwertfisch SP3?

How about a brief description of the mods listed below

SS_S Class
SS upholder L
Merch Kandelfels
Raider Q Pinguin V2
Q-Ships
Arctic Pack

Thanks Reinhard!

Lonny,

See PM.

Have loaded PM1.03, Vickers Oil Slick, and now get the following Janus Error on attempting to continue a mission... (do I have to start afresh?)

Tue Jan 29 11:46:00 2002
Error -1 [sizeChk != size]
DirectX code: "Unrecognized error: 0xffffffff"

[Reinhard Hardegen]

did you load patch? :hmm:

[gbossley]

Thanks Reinhardt,

I worked out that I couldn't use a saved game - started the mission from scratch with no problems

[gbossley]

...er, that would be Reinhard.

[Capt_quin]

how do you put mods on your games? and where can i find DC and SH2 mods?

[blumen-bts]

...and don't forget Italian mods ( the best IMHO :sunny: ) Mare Nostrum for DC and Alfa tau for SH2 :
