Which mod

[ddiplock]

Hi guys, from experience who would suggest which is the best fleet boat mod to use for SH4?? I'm thinking of getting back into playing SH4.

Any suggestions guys? :)

I should prob mention, my SH4 is patched upto v1.4 too. So any suggestions on which mods are good to work with this version of SH4 would be appreciated :D

cheers

Heck, how can you say. TMO, RFB and FOTRS are all better than anything has ever been for the game. If you like the gameplay of stock there is GFO as well.

haha, true, true :) I've been looking through the RSRD & TM mods in the mega mods forums, but i've been getting confused by all the different versions that appear to be there and I'm not sure which one is the latest one to be compatible with my version of SH4. lol :up:

Any suggestions? :)

Hi, I've looked at the documentation for the Trigger Maru mod and it says that if people are using version 1.4 and don't have the u-boat missions, then the latest Trigger Maru mod is called REL_TriggerMaru_Overhaul.7z

However I can't find this anywhere, can someone point me in the right dirrection please?? :)

Here is a list of all mods. Many you can use with 1.4, but make sure you check.

Thanks Armistead, that link worked, and I've downloaed and enabled the mod with JSGME. I'm using the original SH4 shortcut I created on the desktop. When I go into the game, how do I know the mod is working as it should? Everything looks the same in the game menu. Or is there a shortcut within the system folder to run the game with trigger maru?

Cheers :)

When you load the game you should see a different start up screen when the red bar loads that says Trigger Maru....so something isn't working if you're not seeing that screen. You would also notice a basically different game.

You did enable it inside your data folder?

I also plan on reinstalling SH4*I took a hammer to the disk a few months ago.*
After getting it up to v1.4 and the UBoat missions... What are the best mod combo's to put in?
I upgraded the vid card to a GTX 250 1Gig, and put in more ram so it should handle just about all of the goodies out there.

If you're planning on playing in a u-boat, then Operation Monsun is the current state-of-the-art. For fleet boats RFB is most to my liking, but the other two have many fans as well. The only real way to tell is to use JSGME and try all of them.:sunny:

Have the same video card. Seldom can you tell a difference. I had a 9600gt before, but I can actually see some difference, crisper and a few more hues in the clouds...you're gonna like it.

And you will be getting it up to 1.5 for the uboat missions....OM is the Uboat mod of choice.

Yeah I did, I put it into the Mods Folder and enabled it. I'll continue having a look at it and see if I can get it working. But as you said, last Trigger Maru mod I used, I do remember it being different :)

Here's a step by step mod install if you haven't seen it. It uses an old version of TMO as an example, so obvious you would ignore that and dl the newer version.
