Nominated Post: Jimimadrid Periscope

Changes the images of the Periscope View.








Using TGA Files let the images be more clear and sharper. Therefore i cannot only change the files, because SH4 will still use the DDS Files. So the only solution is to give the images new names and activate them in the menu_1024_768.ini with the SH_Menumerger.


Demo:


Therefore you have to activate the Periscope Mod first with JGSME and then with the SH_MenuMerger (included)

Next update will have as optional mod, the latest ARB gui by Brodaga for those who don’t like the DGui … and also slightly faster weather changes, as I don’t believe in the zero wind flat sea in North Atlantic for days and days :03:
But due to SH3 game weather limitation, if the zero wind will not last so longer, the others wind/waves as well…we can’t limit only one wind type unfortunately.

VERSION 3 IS OUT!

- Latest ARB gui as add on mod
- Weather changes slightly reduced
- U Boat crush depth reduced for the Commander option

If you want the ARB draggable chrono to work, find the Tycho patch V3 (in ARB download) and according to instructions patch your SH3 exe...
My computer doesn't allow me to do it here...anyway i never use this chrono so i don't care.

Nominated Post: Fifi Enhancements for NYGM

Fifi Enhancement NYGM is not available anymore … changed for NYGM Enhanced Hardcore.


Completely new version available in my signature. Readme pdf included for installation

I highly recommend to play this mod with no more than X256 time compression in day time, up to X1024 in night time for the starting years 1939/1942… and all time X256 for last years 1943/1945!

It is not an official megamod release, it is only my own game I have modded for myself… and I wished to share with the Subsim community :yep:
Beginners should pass the way because it’s Not for Your Grand Mother! (NYGM)

Nominated Post: interior mod 2.0.3 by GrenSo

Hey GrenSo..greeting:D

I congratulate you for this work I have just tried....
I am in the updates of all my SH3.4.5 I am late in some..
especially sh5
Tell me I still have black labels under the dials in the electrical engine room.. in the "Turm" the center of the compass is still not good.. the dials on the right TDC too..
otherwise the dials in the engine room some have gray needles.. white have you corrected the correct operation of the dials for the fonction of the individual engines..
I don't know but I suspect traces of old backup after having tested several interiors a while ago... I feel that it will end in "fresh Install" so that there is no longer any doubt..:doh:
if I'm deciding I'm going to operate a redesign of my list is operate a new change we'll see..:yep::yep:
Your friend Kal Maximus my best regards Gren...:salute:

21.9.1935 Norwegian Sea “Point Blue 10” 74°17’N, 18°26’E, 20th day at sea

During training in refueling procedures A 39 suffered a list to starboard, the engineering staff under the LI of Schiff 30 Korv.Kpt.(Dipl-ing) Sonntag go aboard in an attempt to repair the damage which the Kommandant of A 39 believes was sustained during the stormy passage through the North Sea. Despite the best attempts of the engineering staff nothing could be done and the list of the tanker grew from 5° to 19° and Freg.Kpt. Hartmann ordered A 39 abandoned and sunk with scuttling charges this was carried out by 16:45 hrs. and the tanker sank in position 74°17’N, 18°26’E. A radio message was sent to operations stating that A 39 had sunk and another suitable replacement tanker be sent. A reply from the Ob.d.M. is expected sometime tonight or tomorrow morning.

Korv.Kpt. Hoffmann will be put in command of the incoming tanker the crew will be kept aboard and used to supplement the Prize Commandos. Of the 49 ratings 21 are civilian merchant sailors they all volunteer to join the Kriegsmarine.

With this new delay the departure of the convoy is now anticipated to be in mid-October. For the time being, the crew continues with their training and daily shipboard routine, the 3 radio rooms with their intelligence gathering, and the seaplanes are being sent out 4 times a day, 2 flights per aircraft. The catapult has proved to be very useful more than 60 flights have been carried out as opposed to the 10 or 15 that would have been able to have carried out without a catapult.

Nomination basis: SH4 Modder of the year, very helpful member and great support.

Nominated Post: Jimimadrid SubManagement

Today I present the new graphic backgrounds for the SubManagement.

SH4 normally uses a graphical background for all SubCompartments.
Now you can experience the differences visually.

! Now available for 1920x1080 & 1600x900 & 2560x1440 resolution. Can be activated with the MenuMerger.












The changes also affect the German side:









Since SH4 only provides one background graphic, you have to change a few things in the menu_1024_768.ini.
that's why I created an application to make the changes with just one click.

This application is the SH_MenuMerger.




With the SubManagement Backgrounds entry the Backgrounds will be visible in the Game. As the changes are in the menu_1024_768.ini, you have to close SH4, do the changes and start SH4 again.

!No need to be in port or start a new game!

With the SH_Menumerger the changes can also easily be undone.

(Download SH_Menumerger and Handbook for Modders -> https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6273)








Additional Addons provided with the SH_Menumerger:

Renown Nixie tube -> This changes the renown counters to a nixie tube stylish




New Rank Icons




New Abilities Icons




New Crew Icons - The new Crew Icons, now also available for the german sailors




Bigger Face Icons -> Get bigger Face Icons as in the vanilla





Additional Version (included):

There is also an more detailed Version of the Damage and Torpedo Background.









Since the different submarines show changes among themselves,
it is necessary to switch the corresponding data with the following application i created herefore.

The Uboat_Selector


V1.0 has a wrong pointer to the images. Replaced by V1.01 in the Mod
(V1.02 as standalone download -> https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6274




Here you can select the desired submarine and append the changes. The 'No Specific Class' switch back to the version for all boats.
Since FotRS and TM have differences, it is also necessary to select the appropriate mod before applying the changes.


You get also nice information about the different Uboat Classes.



BOTH APPILCATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SubManagement MOD.

Installing the SubManagement Mod via JSGME, both Applications will be in the SH4 Folder available.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download -> https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6272
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

!DON'T FORGET TO ENABLE THE SubManagement WITH THE SH_MENUMERGER AFTER INSTALLING WITH JSGME!




PS: As there where so many different Uboats, i have not done too much tests to see if all works correct. If you find some failures please inform me.



Enjoy it

Nominated Post: jimimadrid Optics

New Views for the optics of the Periscope, Binoculars, TBT and canon view.


I have changed the masks with the droplets to more visible version in the night.


Some lines has to be changed in the menu1024_768. ini.
Therefore the SH_MenuMerger is added.


First install the jimimadrid Optics Mod with JGSME. After this start the SH_MenuMerger from the SH4 Folder and merge the optics Mod .
Without merging this Mod tith the SH_MenuMerger you will no see any difference in the optics.
