offsite mods

SUBSIM has always been my source for SH4 mods (as well as WWII submarine discussions, SH4 mod reviews and ... well ... just generally hangin' out with other SHers). That's why I'll always come here, first, to vet anything I run across elsewhere. In this case:

Two mods interest me here.

1. Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod

The Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod provides fifteen American career start dates (Entry Points), beginning with December 1941. The next fourteen entry points follow at four-month intervals, e.g., March 1942, June 1942, September 1942, etc., but you can always use Kim Ronhof's Tbox (below) to change your patrol start date within the four month intervals. The Tbox tool is tied to a database of 150 Silent Hunter mission files that have been modified in full or partially. Thirty-seven of them have Type 5 objectives as the primary objective. In other words, when you change the game-assigned primary mission to one of these, or when the game assigns one to you, you will receive orders to deploy to a certain area and to search for and sink a specific tonnage amount (generally 10,000-tons) of enemy shipping. You are not tied to the specific area for a set time period (as in a Type 0 objective). The other missions are designated special operations (Spec Ops), such as photographic reconnaissance, lifeguard duty, personnel or supply insertion, or a special patrol assignment (Type 5 objective) as part of a task force or wolf pack (e.g., in the Battle of Midway, Battle of the Coral Sea, Battle of Truk, or Battle of Leyte Gulf). In the case of photo recons, lifeguard duty, and insertions, after you complete the primary Spec Op objective, you will receive orders within the game to deploy to a specific area where you will search for and sink enemy shipping (Type 5 objective) after the Spec Op objective has been completed successfully.

And ....

2. Kim Ronhof's Silent Hunter 4 Patrol Report Generator (version 5102) and Silent Hunter 4 Tools (Tbox)(version 2.0)

It allows you to edit the dynamic career save file to change the patrol area (mission-objective file) you are assigned by the game, your boat's name, your name and rank, and your patrol start date. For those of you who are familiar with Hawk's Patrol Zone Selector for SHCE, Tbox accomplishes the same goal.

I figured I'd touch base with anyone here that may have heard of these and tried them out. I'm currently enjoying playing TMO 2.5 without anything else mixed in. But I might like to try these later.
