Alternate to U-Boot.RealSimulation.com?

[jdkbph]

Folks,

Many mods I find listed here in this forum are hosted on this web site. Unfortunately, it appears that new registrations are not being accepted... either by policy or the site is broken... and you can't download unless you register.

Are there any alternate mod hosting sites where I might have a chance of finding some of these files?

Thanks.

JD

I must say, up front that they used to have a great sit for SH3 mods. But NOW they pretty much suck. I was a great fan of theirs until they got so full of themselves. "Free down loads since 2004" What a joke. I swear I could probably get in a porn site with less trouble. My time is important and costly to me. They just made it to difficult to F*&% with and I think they like it that way. Like I said in the beginning they used to have a great site. I took it off my favorites list when I tried to login (I had been registered there for a long time) and I could not get in. Now its just to much hassle. Well I've bitched enough. That site is not worth it.

You could post a list of your requirements and I'm confident there will be people here on the forum who will either already have them or be willing to obtain them for you

Yes, if there aren't any other generic "mod hosting" sites out there, I guess, i'll try that.

I'm looking for the following GWX compatible type mods:

Type IIa skins (I have the others already)
Something akin to the Improved Night Visibility mod for SH4
The improved terrain and sea floor mod
Any mods that tone down the AI sighting routines (particularly for merchany ships)
A mod that will make the transparent orders bar disappear completely
Any mods that add detail to the (non-player) ships

Hmm... this is difficult.

Unfortunately, I don't even know what to ask for. I see mods listed on that site with enticing names like new UZO, AI sensors fix, 30 ship reskins, improved gauges, new officer icons, range/endurance fixes, etc. ... I can't even look at them to tell whether it's what I'm looking for.

<sigh> It's just a shame that so many mod makers chose to host their files exclusively on a site that doesn't allow general access to SH3 players....

Oh well... any help would be appreciated.

Permit me to start you off. If you access my filefront account by clicking on the text below my sig...I would recommend the following (all GWX compatible)

Seafloor
sobers 3d waves
krillerssun
moon mod

There are also some sub skins there but I'm not sure if any are for the Type II

Jim, is that seafloor mod JSGME compatible? Just downloaded the rar.

If you don't know exactly what you're looking for I suggest to do a search at the UBRS main site - 95% of the file readmes are stored there in full text.

The search form in the left menu above 'Machine Translations' does an instant fulltext search (do NOT press 'enter' after you've entered your search term), the search sublinked through the 'Service' pack uses the familiar (old...) system.

Alternatively you may want to use the (pretty good) DLC search - see my sig

Ah. The man in charge.

Maybe you can answer the question....

In case you missed the lead post in this thread, I can't register on your site... therefore I can't access any of the mods on your site.

Now I realize it's YOUR site, and if you want to limit access to friends and family, or whatever, it's your choice. But it seems awfully strange to have all those mods hosted there and not allow newbies to get at them.

I'm hoping it's just something broken...?

...and a bit of a cheeky post, no answer to the others before or after aboutn the problems people have. I havent bothered in a while because of the same reasons others have mentioned...really sorry as it was a good site. Didn't make a fuss as GWX is pretty well all I run and I can't run SH4 very well yet.
