Beginners Mod List For SH4 Including Download Links

THEBERBSTER · 08-25-17, 06:12 AM

Hi pb
Just gives any newcomer an easy option into modding rather than Stock.
GFO very under rated IMO and a joy to play.
Thanks.

GFO is a great mod for veteran players. I was totally shocked how much fun it is and spent a year playing that way.

Niume · 08-25-17, 02:36 PM

what about mods for Operation Munson?

THEBERBSTER · 08-25-17, 04:03 PM

Hi Niume
I have never played the German side in SH4 because I also play SH3 and SH5.
I always liked the American boats with their advanced TDC and radar and it makes a good game alternative for me to play.
Sorry.
Peter

Does SH 4 have like mod archive I really need it most of the mods are with dead links

THEBERBSTER · 08-26-17, 07:04 AM

Hi Niume
I would not bother with mods and lists the only way forward with SH4 for advanced playing is with the FOTRSU mega mod.
This is excellent work done by a dedicated group of modders and is highly recommnended as I am currently playing this as well as GFO, LSH3-2015 and SH5 TWOS.
All highly recommended versions of Silent Hunter.
Peter

And off-site mod links are mostly dead. But Subsim Download mod links are ALL alive and well. Those who relied on Medialink, 4-shared and imitators, File Planet, other hokey sites that don't cut the cheese: they're all gone. Even Carotio's Silent Hunter Mod site is gone. Kickinback, where TMO, RFB, OM and RSRDC were developed is gone. Only Subsim is a safe place for your mod.

Every single SH4 mod ever put on Subsim is a good healthy link and will be for a long time. Nuff said!

Thanks Neal.

Just to let you know, kind wonderful sir THEBERBSTER, you have put together an exemplary package with this. Full of options with clear, concise instructions. Something we hope to get close to with the FotRSU mod implementation. Excellent job, and I am having a wonderful time using it as a diversion, along with my recent OM install. It's even more fun your way than what I used to have! Again THEBERBSTER, excellent job, sir! I cannot recommend this high enough, and not just for the beginner, but for all SH4 players. Webster should take another bow for his mods!

THEBERBSTER · 09-05-17, 07:22 AM

Hi pb
Thank you for your kind words.
As has previously been said Webster's GFO is very underatted and deserves better recognition.
In my own way I have tried to do it justice buy complimenting additional mods, many of his, and turning into a larger mega mod for all to play.

The instructions to me are always an important element as you have to take a view that the player may have no, or little knowledge but still wants to play your game.

I have pitched it purposely at the beginner rather than an intermediate or higher level player this because I believe FOTRSU is the Ultimate game for SH4.

Like you said pb it makes a good diversion even for us veteran players as a nice alternative.

To Webster.

Peter

Rockin Robbins · 09-05-17, 07:36 AM

If GFO were the only supermod for SH4 we'd all be very happy. It is the purest embodiment of the original game developers' vision of how Silent Hunter 4 should play. It's magnificent.

THEBERBSTER · 09-05-17, 09:57 AM

Hi RR
Totally agree with you.

What is amazing considering its age is it has stood the test of time and is still going strong.
I have played many different versions of GFO over the years with optional added mods that Webster shows in his very informative text documents.
The list of mods I have put together in the Mega Mod however remains my favorite and I am pleased to be able to show it to newcomers rather than they take the stock route.
The key of course has to be good informative information that can be easily understood by anyone.
Peter

Rockin Robbins · 09-06-17, 11:26 AM

Hey mods, can we get this thread stickied? What could be more important to the future of the game than giving a clear blueprint for success to newbies?

3 out of 4 doctors recommend Peter's thread for relief of pain and frustration caused by the steep learning curve of Silent Hunter 4.

Koinskyz · 12-09-17, 06:58 AM

Theberbster, a big thank you for this Mods selection and all your excellent tuto guides. They are extremely precious to fine tune the different versions.

... Would have been lost at sea without your help...

Thank you for putting this together!

Not sure if it's a compatibility issue, but I've had several crashes on the 11th patrol of my first new career in 1.5. I'd seen some camera oddities in patrol 9, but nothing serious until the 11th, when the system began lagging significantly and eventually crashed before refusing to load. I'd hoped it was limited to that patrol, but the latest one did the same last night. Both times I experienced the "hundreds of destroyers off the Ryukyus" glitch.

Here's my jgsme list:

[DEPENDANCIES]
1 Game Fixes Only Mod v1.1=
14 3000 Yard Bearing Tool (1920x)=
700 Cheap and Early Torpedoes=""
[MODS]
1 Game Fixes Only Mod v1.1=1
10 Eye Patch for Stock=2
13 sobers compass mod_version color=3
14 3000 Yard Bearing Tool (1920x)=4
16 Webster's Eliminate Floating Plankton=5
17 Remove grain effect=6
6 Bigger Better Protractors=7
7 Extra Allied naval bases for Stock SH4 + UBM v3.0=8
700 Cheap and Early Torpedoes=9
MidwayCareer with balao 1941=10

Any help would be appreciated.
