Greetings all who read this I have some questions maybe someone out here knows the answer.

1 in silent hunter 4 how do you know you have a dead crew man on board and how do you bury him?

2 how many German submarines are the in the U-boat expansion?

3 I have the U-boat expansion only yet it works with out the disk code and there are no U-boat training or missions single player any reason?

4 is there a mod or map pack the reactivates the sh3 bases too

thanks for any input.

1. Dead crew member: The background will be dark red. The sailor avatar will be black and "x"ed out. There is no way to simulate a burial.
2. How many German subs: Not sure, I don't play the German side. I think there are 5.
3. No disk code: They did away with the requirement some time ago. You can play without the disk as well. No u-boat training, no single missions: I know, I don't know why they didn't include any.
4. Mod for u-boat side: Operation Monsoon. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3832

And welcome aboard to Subsim! :salute:

I am now ordering you to review the proper procedures for burial at sea and make presentation to rest of the crew. You'll need lots of pictures, and be sure to pass out crayons. Except to Armistead, he eats them.

Just a small addition: Op Monsun provides everything you need to play in an SH3-type environment, including a full set of training missions.

1. Try to keep your crew men alive - it gives you more renown points.
2. In stock (without any mods) U-boat miisions are two playable submarines: Type 9D2 and Type 18.
3. Yes, the stock U-boat missions has no training and single missions, career missions only.
4. In previous post someone already tells you about Operation Monsun mod from here.

thanks for the info see here is the thing I know with sh3 when a crew member is dead his icon is red but in 4 when they are hurt its a redish cast

so I say is he dead or hurt? but the health is 0
but he is just staying around whats odd in 3 sure you can bury the dead but you don't see the body sink

You do realize, when you enable a mega-mod like OM, you must start a new career?

Trying to play old careers/old saves after changing around mods will almost always bring problems.

when I started the mod there was no career so it would have been fresh and it was a fresh reinstalled and the mod did work for a very short time them it locks and crashes.
from what I seen I did love the working U-boat pen.

its odd the mod starts you out of the pen.
as soon as I put to sea the game goes down hill well sinks big time with a crash.
I do miss the regular scope with the pad that tells you how far you are

I cannot give you any specific help for OM, but perhaps someone else will have some ideas.

You might want to post your computer specs (RAM, graphics card, etc.), and also your exact mod list from JSGME.

good news torpx I think I fixed the crash problem it seems I was missing one of the om files so I went back and checked the site I was missing 700-720 got it now and so far we are all smiles.

I wish there was a way to raise a flag and pen and see blood in the water around bodies with the oil slicks and people flying off the ships like in 3
