The SH4 newbie...

WutWuzDat · 05-24-08, 10:23 AM

Hey everyone! I'm a blast from the past, eh?

Well, I'm starting my summer break,

and I'm delving into the SH4 world. I skipped SH3, so it's a world of difference from SH2/PA.

I'm running 1.4, clean BTW

First of all... These Photo recon missions... I got one that has me really PO.

I've heard that there is a mod that removes them. I've looked at the download section, but I didn't see anything of that sort. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

What other mods are recommended? I know there is a list someplace, but I'm lazy...

Start in the SH4 MODS WORKSHOP forum. They're all there.
I'm not sure of any mods that actually remove photo missions. TMO makes them a tad more realistic (ie. you're NOT sent into Tokyo Bay at the beginning of the war). You are sent to take pics of possible landing sites etc.

Play a little longer with 1.4 until you're familiar with everything then I'd recommend TMO and RSRD as two keys mods for gameplay. Pacific Environments mod improves the eye-candy aspect. There are various mods out there and it's basically your choice as to what you want.

Hey, Adamwarren, welcome home!

Skipped SH3, eh? You missed a lot of good stuff, gorgeous harbors, and hot nurses. I don't have much SH4 experience myself, so I can't help.

I do, however, have a question for you: how can I get a copy of that cool Red-X/Cat sig you used to use? I loved that.

Hey Gday WatWuzDat I'm playing with TMO1.5B and RSRDC and finding the game very enjoyable had no photo missions so far.

Good to see you finally playing SH4.

Is that really AdamWarren

Sailor Steve · 05-26-08, 12:00 PM

Yes it is. I remember when he changed his name to WutWuzDat.

McBeck · 05-27-08, 12:27 AM

WOW...long time no see

WutWuzDat · 05-27-08, 10:07 AM

@ tomoose, Thanks for the input. I'll have to give those 2 mods a look over. My very first campaign mission was a recon of Hiroshima bay. sheesh!

@SS... Well the cows eventually come home. I may give SH3 a go later, if not just for the hot nurses. I've had way to much of the Atlantic lately, lol. I did buy the U-boat add-on for SH4 tho.

Oh yeah, my kitty image. I got it off some website years ago (Really, it was years). I may have it on a CD 'round here someplace.

@SW1. Yeah, it was about time.

@ McBeck, Yeah, it me... Never know when I might show up! I've been active over at atlantik.
