Read, learn and pay your dues...

Look, this a mostly friendly place, but if you start off with a post like the one above, you're not going to get real far. Read the threads, use the search function and you'll find a lot of help once you've demonstrated that you've tried to learn yourself...

Cheers!

You got a straight answer, read the SH modding forums, learn how to mod... all the info you need to get started is there. There is no manual, you'll just have to read the threads...

None of us want our money going to waste and we all like to "blow stuff up" as well, but when you remove every single hindrance in pursuit of that goal, what's the point of playing of the game? There's no challenge to it anymore!

Welcome to SUBSIM :up: agentx250

There was a mod that would fit some of the stuff you want, but it was wayyyy back with 1.2, the Killer Sub Mod: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=115333
The mod has not been updated since 1.2, but the thread and read-me may give you some ideas.
Also, as per what what mentioned here already, if your willing to invest the time, there are many great resources here in the threads\stickies that could get you well on your way to doing your own stuff with SH4. But it all takes time :yep:, nothing happens overnight.

Good luck :up:

Edit: here is another mod, compatible with 1.3 I think, although I saw that modder has something possibly in the works for 1.5:

i kno i actually used that mod to find and change the time of reload for the dg but havent tried a number lower than .2 other than that i mainly just need to kno wat file too look in for sub health and ammo/shells carried so far i've looked in the submarine file under the salmon sub and cfg file but i cant tell wat #s dictate wat atributes of the game thanx for the segestion reallydedpoet. (and the point of removing the hinderence of blowing things up is that my main interest is stalking the seas and sinking any ship i see without negative consequence, how i play is my bussiness how u play is urs leave it at that)

Welcome to Silent Hunter! I wish I could introduce myself under better circumstances, but....

I'm sorry, I just gotta say it. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but your grammar, punctuation, and spelling offends me. If your location didn't say 'US of A' it probably wouldn't. But it does.

I would be much more inclined to give out the information you seek (which took me many hours of hard work to learn) if I didn't get the feeling that you are not just trying very hard, and your posts lead me to believe this is most likely the case in everything you do.

If you have a specific question about a specific function or a specific file, I'd be more than happy to help if I can, providing I don't have to wade through text that appears to have been written on a cell phone.

Again, I'm not trying to start anything, but I just feel rather strongly about this, and felt I had to say something.

Someone get this man a Walter drive, Stat!

(sorry just couldnt resist)

[CinC Battleforce]

I don't want to sound rude, but if you want to just blow things up, go find Medal of Honor and its cheats. Enjoy them, but this game really gives the challenge, makes you be careful.

Remember, I don't think RAMBO was in the Silent Service.

Ok lads maybe the OP was a little over the top with his request, and yes complete sentences and proper grammar are both good things, but let's cut him a bit of slack here :yep: He is not the first member to make a request for a non-realism mod.

agentx250, as has been stated: Read the threads, use the search function and you'll find a lot of help once you've demonstrated that you've tried to learn yourself...
This is some good advice.

Silent Hunter is no FPS, but it can be quite customizable with game settings and all of the great mods available. Throw in some self-initiative and patience and it can be a very nice use of your time :D

Wait, I spend 1 year of developing a tool and 5 mins of research is too much already?

:nope:

I'm typically all for people playing the game at a difficulty level suited for them, but no, I won't cut slack for someone who comes in here with his first post wanting to remove each and every single challenge to the game. EVERY one of them at that.

At the end of the day that is his choice, doesn't mean you have to agree with it, read it.......

Is it the way I play, no, is it any skin off my back if somebody else chooses to, no. Not going to lose any sleep over it.

Why lock it? Nothing wrong with some honest discussion :yep::D

RDP is right - nuke boats will be out soon enough for 1.5 - though it wont give unlimited ammo and instant reloads - the killersub mod and nuke boats had 2 different "goals".

For the 1.5 version I really am going overboard - the IX and D2 both are 42 knot boats - the XVIII will do the same but the walther drive will boot ya to 70 - and good luck steering cuz your gonna need it.

For the record, if your playing 1.5 and are only using the american side - the old 1.2 version of nuke boats still works fine.

agentx250 - while nukeboats wont get you all you have asked for - I can tell you what files to mod if you want to do the edits yourself for the rest. Torp and shell reload speed, damage of shells, shell speed, etc are not that hard to mod. Note that you can mod the # of shells carried to a point - but beyond it your going to CTD, and you cant change the # of fish either way. You would do yourself a favor to read the links posted - familiarize yourself with the amazingly useful S3ditor (:up: :rock: ) and then dig into the sim/zon files of shells/torpedoes and various guns. This is where you will find the reload speeds, shell travel speeds, damage variables, etc.

Best of luck

My opinion on this thread, is that we shouldn't "fire" at this guy straight on sight (though he's a FPS lover BTW :rotfl:)

I know his grammar had to be improved ,but he wasn't rude or anything so, well, we don't want people to think our beloved community is a bunch of snobbish people, do we?? :smug:

Can't you just get everything he mentioned out of the game difficulty settings BTW?? (like unlimited ammo, sub being invulnerable etc.)

The way i see it, it's nice some of you helped him find his joy, because obviously he will never really joined the community as we're nearly 99% Uber-realism fans lol :know:

So i don't think he will be willing to really get into the game and feel the need to develops mods here...

Either way, welcome to you, fellow apprentice captain ;)
