It's getting harder and harder to find 1.4 stuff. The modders have moved on and are producing much greater mods for 1.5 and haven't upgraded the old 1.4 mods to match.

$10.00 for the download of SH4UBM upgrade or a $15 purchase of SH4 Gold is one heck of a bargain! And even if you don't care about the U-Boat (which is a blast once you learn what they call the head) changes in how memory is managed make it load MUCH faster. It only loads what's in sensor range of your sub, where 1.4 loads the entire world before it lets you play.

SH4UBM is well worth the investment.

rfb and rsrdc are made for 1.5 and wont work for 1.4


but there is still a 1.4 version of TMO you can use

find it here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1101

as RR said if you want to use most of the mods out there you need to get 1.5, its a whole lot more than uboats.

it really shouldnt be called uboats because they are only about 10% of whats in 1.5

Thanks all, I've settled for running RFB and it is working fine so far. I'm a big submarine/U-boot nerd, so I don't really know why I find it so hard to get excited about the U-boot expansion. It just doesn't give me enough of a draw to make me grab the credit card and spend.

im surprised to hear adding 1.5 game files to the 1.4 game doesnt cause issues but maybe you just havent run accross them yet.


as for the ubm ad-on, well thats just it, the uboat expansion has nothing to do with uboats


besides the name there is very little in it about uboats


it only adds 2 uboats to the game and none of the ones you know from sh3. it does allow you to try a 9d2 uboat german campaign if you want but there are no german single missions or patrols that come with it.


what you do get from it is a complete tune up for the sh4 game engine so it loads faster and the game works better along with fixes for some game issues so you really get your $10 worth and i wouldnt be surprised if 95% of everyone using it never plays uboats.

to be honest sh4 doesnt do uboats very well and snorkels dont even work and the mod that makes them work doesnt do anything because co2 cant be refreshed by snorkel due to a hard coded issue.

using the operation monsun mod does give you a real german side to the game but there are still issues with it that because of game limitations even with all his talent, lurker couldnt resolve.

Wow... didnt know that. So the more I read about 1.5 the more I think Ubi just used it to suck an extra $24 (when first released I think) to $10 now out of folks for a patch. Bad form IMHO..... but anyway enough griping.

I did buy 1.5 (should be here Monday) finally.... if for nothing else to get it through the clickable link up top and support Neal. Looking forward to trying TMO and other mods.
