Star shell mod anywhere?

Someone knows if anyone modded starshell ammo to use with the american subs? Enjoyed using them in SH3.

Thanks anyway

Don't know of any mod. But you can get them by using the SH3 Mini Tweaker and Tweak Files

But didn't happen right off the bat. I think only certain weapon's can run them. Maybe just the big flak gun when you can get it lator in the war.

When using the Tweak Files and the mini tweaker look for the deck gun .sim files load them and then add the desired amount you want.

Are you talking about SH3 or SH4? I tried this with the SH4 files, and it accomplished nothing - my deck gun did not show up in game as having any star shells at all or even a place for them (just the usual AP, HE and AA, the latter being unavailable even though there's a third shell indicator as if it could have some AA shells).

Is there a specific type of gun/sub combo that you have actually done this with and succeeded in getting the star shells to show up, load and fire properly as star shells in SH4?

They probably took to heart all of our complaints that SH3 was wrong. U-boats didn't carry starshells either.

SH4. I can get the star shells to load and fire properly on all deck guns and with any submarine. They use the third shell indicator. When using the tweak files the first thing you should be able to see is the shell storage amounts with AP,HE,AA and SS highlight the SS (Star Shell) and use the New Value box to add the desired amount you want.
