Post here the mods you use and why you use them!

[boneman]

Hello great guys lets dedicate this threat to MOD usage and why.

My mods: Trigger Maru (overhauled) for vs 1.5

Because i like Realism....................

i prefer to play stock with a few mods i made myself that fix some things i thought needed fixing.

i have a few non-realism mods for if you want lots of action and more firepower? (the link is in my sig)


the mods sticky has lost its OP so it is not kept up to date, Neal last updated it in March but i dont think he had all the mods links to post them so the list isnt very big.
im sure eventually someone will volunteer to take over the thread or start a new and updated available mods list thread.

it still has most of the mods there if you look through the posts. if you read through this thread it answers every question you have many times over.
we all get lazy at times and dont like to read endless posts so use the search feature.


on a side note:

while i can understand your enthusiasm for the game i must say that you seem to not understand or intentionally ignore the advice you are given on posting.

you continue to post questions on TMO yet have not made one single post inside the TMO sticky thread. is there some reason you DONT want help from TMO users?

the general forum is for everything that does not fall into the stickies and this helps to keep things better organized so it is easier to find and get answers to questions and not to overwhelm general requests for help by being buried under sticky mod questions.

please show the members here the respect of following the posting "guidelines" so we are better able to help you AND everyone else. Neal is very busy and should not have to take the time to PM you and tell you to follow common sense posting guidelines.

You ain't JINXing Me.

SORRY

I run three seperate installs thanks to MultiSH4.

1. TMO1.5.2 with RSRDC plus its corresponding patch. I like the blend of realism and good gaming. RSRDC adds the realistic traffic and composition down the years as the Pacific War evolves. What can you say about Ducimus great work! Astonishing comes to mind.

2. RFB 1.5 with RSRDC plus its patch. I BETA test a lot with this install. RFB is evolving into a really hard core animal. The subs are as fragile as the real ones so if you get stupid you are either going to the bottom or going back home for a demotion. Lots of realism and more on the way.

3. Operation Monsun and Drum Beat, Lurkers work is just fantastic in this mod. Impressive and immersive. A great addition and I have parked SH3, well maybe forever. Great work with the messages the mission and the theater; Indian Ocean and the East Coast. So go visit Coney Island and get a Coney Dog.

I keep all my installs very small, I do not want files being overwritten. Especially, sensors, sim, sub files etc.... For environmentals I have run Krillers PE3 and W_Clears EE4.6, both are great. But currently I only run PE3 underneath my OM install, in other words OM overwrites stuff in PE3.

Thats all!



Great work guys! Thank you!

Hey!!! Your not posting in all the different threads and stickey's like our self proclaimed MODERATER WEBSTER SAY'S TO DO. YOU BETTER WATCH IT NEXT TIME.:p :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[STEED]

To many to post, about 40 I think.

I appreciate the historical realism in TMO and RSRD. I find the challenge to be in not only sinking ships but finding the bloody things in the first place, LOL . I've come back from a patrol with only finding and sinking one ship but still satisfied that I managed even that. Kudos to the modders.
(I haven't jumped to 1.5 yet as there doesn't seem to be any reason to do so).

[tomoose]

Forgot to mention. I also use SH4 Speech which, IMHO, really adds to the immersion. I think it's great to say "Take her down" into the microphone and the crew responds or I say "come right 20 degrees" and I'll get the response "new course xxx degrees". Very cool.

I've always been temped to try that on SH-3 &SH-4'

But my dog barks and my wife yells at me.

So no dice.:p

Using ROW PE to justify spending way to much money on a vid.card. And I like the enhaned visuals ofcourse. IMO it ads to immersion as well; if you're standing on the bridge, looking out over the ocean, a not so convincing scenery would break that.

Using NSM for much improved ship sinking mechanics. RPG's should use hitpoint system, not a sim.

Playing 1.4, see no reason yet for addon. Once all mods move to 1.5 only, I guess I'll have to.

[wetwarev7]

Aside from Environmental Effects mod, I mainly use mods I've customized myself.
There are really only a handull of issues where I felt a mod would help me to enjoy the game more(free camera movement, etc), so I don't really need a huge mod or 2 that changes a whole bunch of stuff. Historical accuracy is great and all, but I slept through most of my history classes in school, so how would I ever know the difference?

And, I just gotta say this, I just do not care which way the darn prop spins! :rotfl:
