why not just include the files you really changed, this would make your mod more compatible.

T h a t would be Great

BUT and Big BUT here, its not that simple, the original SH4 1.5 files were used as a reference, and the large add on mods change the ship files alot, like RSRD and Scaf and especially Ops Monsun, in order to get everything working with all these mods I had to overwrite files in install order then update and install all the ship parameters, 107 from the sea file....to get everything to work.....if I had just updated SH4 1.5 ships, half of the ships would be over written and break all that hard work with no caustics since environment 5.0 ships reflect has them completley disabled, same with Ops Mosun and so on....since the largest file which is the ship dat. file, is the one that gets tweaked and the one that gets overwritten with alot of the large mods I figured this would be the simplest way to get all the goods, if I had the time to do every individual mod I would

, but Have to work

....time is limited.....thats why I encourage you to experiment with individual ships in the file and replace the ships in your configuration, One by one if need be, see what works and what doesnt....since they are just the ship files.....

Good hunting.....
