Just overwhelming

Salvadoreno · 03-20-10, 03:58 PM

Well after seeing the disastrous results SH5 is having i looked at my old SH4 box and decided to give it another go... Too bad it was scratched to death lol.. So i am currently dling it on steam + dling uboat missions...

Now.. Looking at the forums i am completely overwhelmed by the mods supporting sh4. I dont know where to start... So i look to you for help..

Ive noticed the RFB and RSRD mods are compatible and seem to be what everybody is using with excellent results. But ive also seen the complete overhaul of SH4 to the atlantic theatre. However what mods currently run SH4 in the atlantic theatre? Are they are complete as SH3 with patrols in grids west of Britian or is it just Operation Monsun? Does it require uboat missions to playt the atlantic theatre mods?

So my questions are numerous but if somebody can just kinda kick me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Well my friend, go here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=155786 then scroll down to the "Large Super Mods" section and pick one! They all have their ups and downs but the two most used ones (I 'm pretty sure) are TMO and RFB. I personally use RFB but that matters little as everyone has their own preference. Good luck.

well i actually had a big question about Operation Monsun... Could i have RFB, RSRD AND OM installed vua jsgme?? Or must i pick?

The atlantic theater mod is OM (Operation Monsun; see here). With it, you get the entirety of Germany's U-boat campaign (including Op Monsun itself, of course).

IIRC, it does require U-boat missions. However, considering UBM goes for about 5 or 10$ on steam, I think it's well worth it. The Atlantic experience it gives you is at least as good as the original campaign with a supermod.

EDIT: also, I'm pretty sure you can have all of those, yes. After all, RFB is for the pacific theater and OM is for the atlantic.

You are using the *steam* version of SHIV along with 1.5 correct? Because you can't use the steam 1.5 on a cd copy (or one that was downloaded from anywhere else) of 1.4.

wait waT? I actually got it working by clicking the "verify game files" option in steam menu. However when i looked at the patch at the bottom right screen in main menu it says 1.3v. So i cant apply patch 1.5!?!!? Wtf... So no OM, RFB, OR RSRD?!?... please god tell me no...

edit:: "Verify integrity of game cache"

It was in properties, local files in steam...
