I'm up to speed on the mega mods and how-to's.

Just looking for individual lists that work well together with no conflicts.

Have used the "search" ad nauseuem on several sites.

Welcome :sunny:

[SilentPrey]

Welcome back!

I'm kinda partial to this list, myself;

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Steam\steamapps\common\silent hunters wolves of the pacific\MODS]

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for RSRDCv502
1.5_OTC_Realistic Scopes for 16 to 9 RSRDCv502
Improved Ship Physics 2.6_TMO_RSRDC_OTC
OTC_ISP_Crew Mod


I've used it on Windows 7 & 10 with no problems. The museum and recognition manual are both fully viewable. I run 64-bit Windows and on 7 found that making sh4.exe large address aware was required. I copied the folder straight across to my 10 computer (Steam) so it's probably still aware but that probably won't matter to your XP machine.

This is what I run, in order:

TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
TMO_25_small_patch
CSL Custom Map Colors
CSL Deck Gun Optics Mod
CSL Stopwatch
TDW DC Water Disturbance v2.0
TDW DC Water Disturbance TMO2 Fix
TDW Fire Damage v1.3
iambecomelife's Smoke & Particles Mod for SH4/TMO

Hi SilentPrey,

I'm coming back to the game from a long absence as well, and I was going to use your Mod list as a nice start, however I cannot find 2 of the mods you have listed: 1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for RSRDCv502, and
1.5_OTC_Realistic Scopes for 16 to 9 RSRDCv502. Can you point me to where they may be located?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Certainly. The 'Realistic Scopes for 16 to 9' is inside of Optical Targeting Correction (OTC). CapnScurvy made aspect ratio mods for a lot of different aspect ratios and put them all in the OTC download.

OTC for RSRDCv502 is at http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4052

This thread is CapnScurvy's release thread where he links the various other versions and talks about what he went through to bring us this mod. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181172

Good hunting!

Thank you! :D

Anyone know what the heck I'm doing wrong here?

* I have installed the game through Steam.

* I enabled large address ability.

* I run the game so it updates to 1.5 and then I also do a quick mission (Midway) to make sure it all seems to run fine. It does so with no problems.

* I Install SilentPrey's mod list in the order he has listed.

* I try to start the game. I see the splash screen for the Optical Targeting Correction mod, and the game loads up to the 90% range and then I get a smaller window that pops up saying: File not found: data/menu/data/black80.tga

* If I hit OK, it goes on to tell me a bunch more files that it can't find.



I have a feeling that I'm doing the wrong load order through JGSME, but if anyone knows the correct order or knows something else I'm doing wrong, help would be appreciated! :/\\!!

remove optical corection mod with Jgsme try to run the game with just that remove if it works then you know it is that mod could be a curropt download

Welcome back Holliwood and Blackhorse. :salute:

Where both of you regulars at the Ubisoft SH4 site?

[Blackhorse]

...and I'm the idiot. :)

I assumed that the game updated to 1.5 when I ran it on Steam. It did not.

I realized that I didn't have the U-Boat missions pack installed, so once I did that all mods started working fine.

Now to get in there and try my hand at manual targeting again. :hmmm:

And Fireftr18, I was not, but I was a firefighter for 20 years. :)
