New to forum and mods for SH5

Hiya,

Welcome Aboard

Been many years now since i played sh4, anyways .........

Off the top of my head BRF doesn't like FX update

So for me, i would try and use the base mod FX 0.0.22 with whatever flavour addon mod in FX you require

Some mods will say is it ok to overwrite x in another mod, sometimes it's just a readme or something in a folder but not exactly the same specific item, most is common sense (mine's been lacking this last month)

Have a read on this page http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ed+mods&page=3

That will give you a good idea of sequence and also help you along the way as to which mods maybe of use to you

Then start from the page one and read the whole 9yrds You will be enlightened i'm sure

You deffo need to read up in the above about TDW generic patcher and his options viewer, the patcher is basicly a patch that fixes stuff ubisoft never even thought about or ever wanted to do with the time/money constraints on the release

Any Probs just Post

Lots willing to help

Thanks much for the warm welcome.

Since I am one of the poor souls who have the Steam version, by choice, mods that change the .exe are not an option.

I have been poring over the boards for the past week and coming to grips with how mods work. If I understand correctly, zone.cfg files are specific to ships so if a mod adds new ships, it needs that zone.cfg making any other mod that changes just the parts of an existing ship incompatible.

If that's the case, OH2 lite may be a better option as it doesn't add ships.

Hi again,

I don't know how much the disc sh5 costs where you are, but if you get well into the sim, you should really consider the disc version

With the generic patcher from tdw it adds/fixes so much to the sim

I cannot imagine now not having the patcher, and it just keeps getting better and better

Food for thought

Cheers

I gave up on hard copy versions when I reached the age where I was questioning just 'what did I come into this room for again?'

That, and I have one of those 'rare' wives that WILL move something if she doesn't think it belongs there, without telling me just where she moved it.

I did get OH lite working with BRF, UI mod, Critical Hits and Damage Assessment.

Still going over the mods here looking for more as I have a 64bit system with 18gigs of ram, I7-930 and a GTX465.
