To cut back on some of the sticky congestion, this thread will have links to the popular SH4 mods that were stickied before. These are very popular threads, so they will probably stay on the front page, but if you cannot find it easily, you can find it here.

[FIX] SH4 crash-to-desktop fix (memory issue) (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2009762#post2009762)



Subsim's recommended modding etiquette (please read these guidelines)


--- SUBSIM'S RECOMMENDED MODDING ETIQUETTE GUIDELINES ----

The following guidelines are the result of a thread opened publically to receive feedback and suggestions about what kind of behaviours and practices are unanimously approved and wished by people involved in modding games. We have collected all of them and made a sum-up of all those who were accepted explicitely by EVERYONE who posted, and implicitely by all users who silently witnessed and did not disagree. After careful examination, Subsim.com recommends these guidelines as standard practice for everyone involved in its forums. They are not a legal system, nor is Subsim.com a court to enforce them. Yet, considering the major benefits for everyone that following them will bring, we strongly encourage to respect them.


A) PERMISSIONS

#1 If you are going to make a mod based on the work created by another guy, ask permission first unless the readme of the original mod stated already that it could be freely reworked and modified.

#2 Asking for permission means using all reasonable methods of locating the author, and at least includes:

a) E-mail to the address stated in the mod readme, if any
b) Private Messaging in the forums frequented by that modder,
c) Public post calling the guy in the forums, if all else fails.

#3 If the author of an old mod has dissapeared and the above methods of contacting him were unsuccesful, you can use his mod provided:

a) The readme of it did not explicitely forbid any further use,

b) You give proper credit to the original work and specify clearly
b1) What you modified, and
b2) Which means you used to try to contact the author, and when/where did you post or mail him,

c) The original author has been away from subsim's forums more than 6 months, which you can check in his public profile. Keeping a screen capture of that could be worth in case of doubts.

#4 If the mod's readme indicates that further use or rework of it is not allowed, accept it. Your only alternative is to contact the author and convince him to allow you modifying it.

#5 If you are contacted by the original author to correct the credits, that is no offence. Just do it.

#6 Overlays or tweek packs for existing mods or supermods do not require previous permission unless:

a) You are not just including stuff created entirely by you, but also using parts of the original one (E.g. you change only the crosshair of the periscope but keep the original artwork of the rest of the screen, created by someone else), or
b) You are including also the whole base-mod in yours.

#7 If you receive permission from the author of a mod that also includes other third party mods, you must contact the authors of ALL of them, as per the above #1-4. Sometimes a modder gives permission to use his work in a specific pack, but will not allow it for others. Respect that.



B) CREDITS & DOCUMENTATION

Once permission is received according to the above guidelines, give proper credit as follows:

#1 Always give credit to any third party mod you legitimately included or reworked in your own one.

#2 It is nice to credit also people who post giving information and ideas in the forums but who later do not create mods from it. If your mod was based upon data or ideas suggested by others, crediting them is always good.

#3 Include in the documentation provided with your mod the original readme of the third party mod/s you are using.



c) YOUR OWN README

Relating to the part created by you, it is of interest for everyone that you include what follows:

#1 Your name, and a valid contact address (E-Mail, a website or a Forum)

#2 Wether your own work might or not be further modified without your permission and/or knowledge.



Do you have a mod you want to upload?

Are you a mod maker or mission designer? To get access to upload your mods, click here to become one of the Modmen! (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/private.php?do=newpm&u=209959)

After getting permission from neal you will be able to upload, edit and update your mods at anytime.

Please remember that all mods should be in zip format and the free open source 7-zip (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=1362) utility is a good choice to use for this.

If your mod is an oversized mod larger than the maximum size allowed then you need to upload it in a special way as neal will explain how or you can contact member Laufen zum Ziel (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//private.php?do=newpm&u=238542) who will upload oversized mods here for you and then he will turn control of it back over to you.

All mods should include a read me for them to explain what the mod does and how it should be used.

It is strongly recommended that every new mod have its own thread so the mod can be discussed and any mod issues can be resolved there.



Thread Prefix Guidelines:



These prefixes should be used when posting a new thread.

If your thread doesn't fall into any of the catagories below then dont use any prefix.


If you are posting a "tutorial" or "technical info" thread then start the thread title with - [TEC]

If you are posting a "work in progress" thread then start the thread title with - [WIP]

If you are posting a "mod release" thread then start the thread title with - [REL]

If you are posting a "request" thread then start the thread title with - [REQ]


NOTE - when you are starting a mod thread it is recommended that the "version" number should NOT be used as part of thread title but instead please put any mod version number in the first line of the thread text so you can go back anytime and edit or update it as you see fit.

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. :yeah:

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 :wah: ~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.

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

http://www.tunngle.net/en/downloads/


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

http://www.youtube.com/user/DSBsky?feature=mhw4

http://www.filefront.com/15860643/Un...ht-Shafts.wmv/ (http://www.filefront.com/15860643/Underwater-Light-Shafts.wmv/)

last link is for the packs.

http://www.filefront.com/user/Bishop7

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/

After many years of playing just the vanilla game of SH3 & SH4. I am now messing around with some of the mods available.

Graphics/Audio Question:

Will "skin mod" effect Multiplayer connection?

1. If i have a skin modification to my sh4 files. Will open server MP players be able to connect to my hosted game?

2. I guess I need to ask about audio sound modifications too?

There are many ships and subs to choose from here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=cat&id=6

I recommend the Ohio beta as a new sub that is superb to play as but there are ships and subs here to be found that fit just about anyone's taste, Happy hunting. :salute:

Fuel range: S3D, open submarinename.sim file. Unit_Submarine/Ranges

You can use a 40 bill bill, but I don't think the mike mike works. You could put the Iowa main turret on there if you know how. :woot:

The last tower for the S class is put on in August 42 and the 40mm is not available until October, so you would have to make some changes. I'm not sure how accurate it would be.

Here's a great mod for SH4. Its a version of the "zoomable external camera" mod, that elanaiba (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=214931) was nice enough to make, per my request, (hes on my Christmas list) :woot:

What it does is add zoom levels to the external camera view - activated with the mouse wheel. Current levels are 1x, 10x, 20x.

Installation:
Simply drop included cameras.cam file in <SH4 folder>/Data/Library. There shouldn't be any file with that name, so don't overwrite anything.

It needs to be in the same location as cameras.dat, but that's normally true. To remove the mod just delete the cameras.cam file.

Original mod idea belongs to stabiz.

Hope you guys like it as much as I do, many thanks to Stabiz and Elanaiba. You guys a great. Indy:up:

I had been running the game with the disc and having alot of crashes. Since I found you could run without the disc I havn't had the first crash in game. Could this be the answer to the magic question as to why the crashes?Thought I'd pass it along. Thanks to all of you for making a great game even better!

Check it out, very nice to start brand new models. I didn't find enough about the civilian fleet though. If you find anything please let me know.

I think 2.0 is the latest. May be a good idea to post this in that thread and if you are using other mods along with TMO, post them as well as there may be a conflict.

these are questions you ask in the "mods forum" not the "list of mods thread"

that is why you havent gotten much response yet so start a new thread to ask your questions here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=219

what do you mean ? add sailors to the damage control team ? that is found in the subname.upc (edit with notepad)

or is it to add damage zones ?

that is found in the zones.cfg and those zones are linked to files you would find in the subname.zon and subtower.zon both edited with S3D from Skwasjer.

have you ever tried posting your request in the mods forum as a thread of its own as it should be done for new topics?

this thread isnt for help its for providing a source to get all your mods in one place so most people never read the posts here and just look over the mods lists which is why you werent getting any response to your request

also calling the forum "bad people" just because you got no response will not make people want to help you :nope:

Chrys - I'm the damage modeller for the TSWMSM - and I know, intimately, how to make dmage models work on surface chips. Most of my models are custoemr built, using Skwasjer's tools of course ;-)

Let me know what .zon file quesitn you have and I'll see if I can help.

hello all... first time for me on one of these websites...excuse me if I seem a dolt..

I served on SSBN 616 .... USS James Monroe...Blue....
Ive been playing sub games for a while... Im currently playing SH4

Has anyone created a way to run "astep" on the surface.. ie.. with only the conning tower above water...?

Has anyone modified the game so you can do weapons control... submerged with passive sonar only...?

thanks for your time...

No major mods include Wernersobe's Natural Sinking Mechanics. I've looked at the mod enough to know that I don't understand it. I want to update it to work with the modern 1.5 game with supermods but first I have to wrap my head around its working.

It will work today with the following problems. When a ship is encountered that isn't in NSM's list, it sinks in the stock manner. Any ship which Wernersobe covered will sink the way he intended. No game crashes. No babies die.

I would like to add kill flags on the tower of my sub. I have GIMP, .dds viewer and some things I found on the net. The problem is, once I make up a .dds file how do I add it to the sub tower. Just point me the right direction if there are sites that can show me how to do it? Thank you:D

Hi everyone!:)

Been playing Ralles excellent version of the abovementioned modpack for long now.

Am returning from patrol in May 1945 and have encountered a problem:

At exactly 20:00 on the 9:th of May I get CTD. No radio on at this time and no Capt Midnight installed (has created problems before).

I have a guess that it can be a message that maybe the problem but I have not tried to check yet.

Does anyone have a clue about this???

I love this forum but the search tool is awful.

when we are driving a boat that seems to take half the Pacific to slow to a stop, what factors are involved with this performance?
it cannot be just the drag factors in the .sim file, there have to be other parms that are more interrelated and complex that are behind it.:hmmm::timeout:

another performance factor that may be related to the one above is that this RFB-Gato that i am driving will cut its speed in half to make a turn, especially when submerged...and i am trying to figure out what is different with this boat-model from the other Gato's in other mods that causes that. Sometimes, at low speed the boat almost comes to a stop in the middle of a turn.
