VIIc as an optional boat?

[bratwurstdimsum]

Guys, hopefully not an insanely stupid question but is there a way to play the VIIc in SH4? I see some lovely skins for the boat but can't seem to find a mod for it (to (presumably replace IX)

[DarthVrooks]

Operation Monsun has one, I'm playing with the OM40VX Beta right now. It's really great, adds the entire Atlantic Theater to the game with everything from the Type II on up between the years 1929 and 1945. I don't know if there's a standalone mod to add just the VIIC though.

[Ishigami]

There is Tommy's VIIC41.

Thanks, I had a look but it looks like its only for SH3 and the SH4 is till a work in progress, unless can help me with a link ?

[Ishigami]

The WIP is the new skin. The unit was already released. I don't have the topic at hand but I upload it a new atm on Megaupload.
In about 30 min. I can add a link to this post.

BTW. I would like to get my hands on the test SH4 VIIC of the GWX team. Oh comon guys just a little leak. I won't tell anyone! I swear!

Thanks for your trouble mate, I've downloaded it at work, I'll give it a whirl lunchtime.

All worked until I got the same error as one of the guys did when they tried to install

The only explaination was a bit vague, and unfortunatley I didn't understand, can someone please elaborate?

Mikhayl is saying that there is a conflict with the unitparts.upc and if you want to use more than one playable unit mod you need to modify these files.

The easiest way however is to just use one playable unit mod at a time.

I got no further helpful information. I’m using the very same files over JSGME and have no problems.

Btw. you may want to install this fix: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=140233
After you got it working. This will fix the issue that the conning tower will disappear when half way submerged.

[bratwurstdimsum]

no worries, got it working! I had a KM raider, Pocket battleship and walther boat all enabled with no problems with each other but once I removed these the VIIC worked a treat

[Ivan Putski]

Thanks for the link Ishigami. Puts

Good to know -- can you point me to a tutorial or detailed explanation of how to do this? I have some SH3 skins that I really want to get into OM.

Thanks,
