[WIP] UltraSubs for SH4

[Paulus von Rayburg]

No need to apologise, you do what you can when you can. Look forward to it

[SloppyMk27]

German UltraSubs v1.0 is now available.

Mod description is in the link. This mod is a Uboat Expansion of American UltraSubs and includes American UltraSubs.

I did that because I thought it would solve the issues of 1 or 2 releases and to maximize compatability.
American UltraSubs was built aiming to be SH4 1.4 compatible.
German UltraSubs is only compatible with SH4 1.5 but you still keep the American UltraSub modifications.

SH3 UltraSubs is nearing completion. I've started a thread in the SH3 Mods Workshop with all the information for it. It's been an interesting challenge that I have no regrets taking on. All further progress for the SH3 UltraSubs mod will be posted in it's thread below.

I thank everyone for their patients with me in the development of this mod.

Not sure what you mean by OM. There are actually 2 UltraSub mods I have for SH4

1: UltraSubs v4.31 - Designed to be compatible with SH4 v1.4
2: German UltraSubs v1.0 - Includes UltraSubs 4.31 but also adds the same bonuses to the German Playable Submarines and some of the special abilities have been tweaked.

I am actively still playing with these mods (not only for the purpose of employing them, but to find areas of improvements on them) to make and release updates for these mods.

Just to give everyone a heads up, I am working on UltraSubs v5.1.

The biggest change of this mod is how it is provided. All parts of the mod have been individualized for more flexibility.

This Mod Currenly will consist of several individual mods. 5 are listed below. More will follow in time

1. US51_Armor - Changes the Armor Level of the all the playable submarines to 255 from their original value - 15-25 only modifying the zon files of each submarine.

2. US51_BFGs - This will change the ammo capacity and firing rate of all the playable deck guns and AA Guns modifying only the sim files of each of the playable weapons

3. US51_Extremely_Powerful_Ammo - This will change the damage values of the shells fired from the playable weapons modifying only the shells.zon file.

4. US51_Extremely_Powerful_Torpedos - This mod will change the damage values and torpedo speeds of some of the torpedos modifying the torpedos.zon and sim files and the torpedosUS.zon and sim files.

5. US51_Upgrade_Unlocker - this will make all upgrades to all submarines available at all times and all for free.

More additions to this will surface until I feel this mod is complete. I intend to make all these mods for this mod TMO1.9 compatible. For example with the Armor mod, I've included the changes for the additional subs added by TMO1.9

I will keep this updated thread updated as I get closer to finishing this mod.

I understand what you mean completely. I hate running out of torpedoes on the way to my destination where I'm supposed to be sinking ships. and having no torpedoes for the trip back. That and also needing a torpedo while it's loading is also painful.

Anyway As far as how to use these mods, you'll want to do the following:

1. Install JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME)
This can be found here: http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/sof...cts-jsgme.html
Install this Program into your C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific directory

2. Run JSGME and It will create a MODS directory in your Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific directory

3. Extract a downloaded Mod into the new MODS directory.

4. In the JSGME program, click Tasks then Refresh List.

5. Click on the mod you want to apply and hit the > button

JSGME will automatically find the files that are changed by the mod and makes a backup of them. Then copies the modded files into the game data directory structure. When you disable a mod, it copies the original files back to their original location.

Most of the mods on here are JSGME compatible and often come with a readme explaining installation.

I hope this helps explain how to make the most of the mods you choose to make use of

Thank you for your input on this mod.

I had multiple reasons for making this mod. One was to save time. I have a busy life and I love to play SH4. I don't have all day to cross the Pacific at 9kts to sink a couple ships and hope to make it back to port on fumes. Another reason was out of fun. If I was going to hit something with a torpedo or a deck gun shell, I wanted to be sure I got my target's immediate attention while at the same time, be significantly resistant to their ammunition. I am very interested in finishing up the latest edition to this mod which whill have many of the same features, but will be split up into individual mods. One thing I cannot take credit for is the green and yellow buttons. You'll have to thank our friend "jimiadrid" for that one He's made many other excellent mods as well. A lot of the mods I've seen are very good on here. I hope you get as much enjoyment from the mods available on here as many of us had. If you have any further questions or comments, let me know.
