100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v0.80_RC1_EN
New! Insertion Rescue Training and SpecOp training missions to give you more confidence in these difficult missions. CapnScurvy has done extensive enemy AI tuning and you might want to take a look around Pearl Harbor.
This mod has retextured just about all the ships, has its own environmental mod, sound system completely reworked including different sounds for primary and secondary guns on capital ships. 3D sound is amazing.
Smoke and particle effects are reworked.
We've more than doubled the ships in the game from any previous mod in SH4. We have added some planes, but most remarkably have changed their armament to be more realistic, including giving planes torpedoes.
We have the optics fixed even better than OTC. Thanks CapnScurvy. However we have elected not to go with the superhuman perfect identification manual. The real submariners had crap for a manual and so will our players with the core game. CapnScurvy will be producing an approved plugin mod to give the perfect recognition manual to those wishing to play that way.
Installation pointers. When you install v0.80 unfortunately
the only safe way to proceed is to not use previous savegames. Please ensure that your base SH4 files are absolutely stock.
Reinstalling from scratch is the gold standard here. Uninstall and reinstall SH4. As always, documentation is available in the root and Data folders. Use JSGME to install, but first install Large Address Aware.exe. Files and instructions are in the mod. JSGME and MultiSH4 are also included with instructions. Put Large Address Aware, JSGME and MultiSH4 into your Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific directory. Run Large Address Aware, choosing SH4.exe as the file you want to be aware. Run JSGME and quit, then copy 100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v0.80_RC1_EN.7z into your MODS directory and decompress it there with 7zip.exe, available online for free. Then run JSGME again and use it to install FOTRSU. Enjoy!
Whew! That's all for now folks!
