Beginners Mod List For SH4 Including Download Links

[captcrane]

Hello aanker many thanks for your quick response. I actually never even considered about being in port when I edited the file. I will give that a whirl. It's a small thing but I always liked that feature in SHCE. Peace out

hey peter!

i hope winter has not been too cruel to you across the pond. i, myself, just came in from removing 3 or 4 inches of that white stuff from my driveway and walkways.

just wanted to let you know that i finished the Uboat part of GFO 1.1 and thoroughly enjoyed it. i stayed with a 9D2 the whole way (14 patrols) and lived to tell the tale.

so, now that i have completed both a US and a German career, i need to find another mod-group to play.

many thanks to you and the others who contributed to this mod-group.

the eye patch for stock did the reverse for me; it broke the eyes.

I removed it and the eyes were fine.

might want to recheck that one.


also, the 3000 yard tool was causing significant lag when I used time compression, to the point where I could not go above 1024 without causing the game to skip large chunks and getting ctds. removing it fixed these issues, and TC is now smooth again at all speeds.

There is a 1500 yard tool that works much better, plus no lag. If you need a longer line just extend it on the tool's 1500 long line using the bearings you want as a guide. It is accurate enough using this method.

3000 is overkill, imo.

Happy Hunting!

High TC will depend on your systems capabilities and your frame rates will drop in high traffic areas.
If you start scrolling your map you may also experience some lagging as the frame rate drops.
Personally I would not want to play without the 3000 yard tool.
I would recommend using CTRL+F8 to keep an eye on your frame rates.
As a SH5 player I am used to playing with lower TC than 1024 so it does not bother me too much accept after leaving port in friendly waters I like to ramp it up a bit.
No problems regarding the eye patch works for me rather than the stock creepy eye.

Hi MB
Glad to hear you enjoyed my mega mod selection.
The next step up would be either TMOwtw2.50 or RFB.
I can certainly recommend TMOwtw2.50 as I have played this quite extensively.
There are also some good mods which can be added to it as well.
Check out my tutorial post #4

peter,
who is first-level-support for TMOwtw?
i just started patrol #2 out of pearl and for the second time i started the mission at midway but ended it at pearl. pearl is the designated home base.
is that what was intended?

sorry, but I actually have quite a decent machine, and travelling between pearl and okinawa without serious time compression is just ridiculously tedious.

with 3000 enabled, I had skips and crashes at even 1024. I get full framerates without it, in every situation.

also? I never had anything BUT your mod list installed, and the eye thing happened on a completely stock 1.5 install, with nothing but your modlist installed.

again... something must be wrong with it, despite the claims otherwise, since REMOVING it resulted in perfect eyes.

check it again.

Did you install either the 4GB Patch or LAA Large Address Aware? Recommend you use one of them. THEBERBSTER has a tutorial on how to do it right.

Don't forget to change the SH4.exe properties from read only when you configure/install LAA.

Note 3.
Large Address Aware (LAA) is an essential application for those of you who have a certain amount of spare ram.
SH4 only allows you 2gb of ram LAA allows your system to use what ram is available to your game.
By using this application stops ctd’s where without it ctd’s would undoubtedly occur in the game at some time.
Further information and instructions can be found in my SH4 Tutorials.

That 3000 graphic uses a lot of RAM.

Ichthyos,
i have played both sides of GFO without a problem.
in the past, i found these things to be tripping points:

• not properly re-installing. a fresh install is always necessary.
• not properly configuring LAA.
• not deleting saves from previous game play. yes, i know, this sounds like BS, but i had all kinds of CTD until i deleted the old save files and then, {poof} like magic, they CTD's disappeared.
• not making any mod changes when not in port between patrols.

have fun.
