SH4 Master Thread: Popular Mods, Tools, Technical advice & Tactical tips
To cut back on some of the sticky congestion, this thread will have links to the popular SH4 mods that were stickied before. These are very popular threads, so they will probably stay on the front page, but if you cannot find it easily, you can find it here.
[FIX] SH4 crash-to-desktop fix (memory issue) Subsim's recommended modding etiquette (please read these guidelines) Quote:
Do you have a mod you want to upload? Are you a mod maker or mission designer? To get access to upload your mods, click here to become one of the Modmen! After getting permission from neal you will be able to upload, edit and update your mods at anytime. Please remember that all mods should be in zip format and the free open source 7-zip utility is a good choice to use for this. If your mod is an oversized mod larger than the maximum size allowed then you need to upload it in a special way as neal will explain how or you can contact member Laufen zum Ziel who will upload oversized mods here for you and then he will turn control of it back over to you. All mods should include a read me for them to explain what the mod does and how it should be used. It is strongly recommended that every new mod have its own thread so the mod can be discussed and any mod issues can be resolved there. Thread Prefix Guidelines: These prefixes should be used when posting a new thread. If your thread doesn't fall into any of the catagories below then dont use any prefix. If you are posting a "tutorial" or "technical info" thread then start the thread title with - [TEC] If you are posting a "work in progress" thread then start the thread title with - [WIP] If you are posting a "mod release" thread then start the thread title with - [REL] If you are posting a "request" thread then start the thread title with - [REQ] NOTE - when you are starting a mod thread it is recommended that the "version" number should NOT be used as part of thread title but instead please put any mod version number in the first line of the thread text so you can go back anytime and edit or update it as you see fit.

SH4 has been loaded with new recruits as of late.
I sure don't mind giving enlightenment, but the game manual that never was should be compiled as a sticky. To link for reply in many cases. Big job

the manual is right there in the games "Support" folder of the games main files so why would anyone need a link for it?

Good call here Neal! Much less clutter at the top of the page now.
EDIT: What about adding more mods to that list? There's a couple I can think of off the top of my head that didn't make it under playable subs.

its a work in progress
ETR3(SS) has made threads for the playable ships and for the playable subs so check out the links and let him know if he missed anything. we cant put every mod on the list but if you guys see some of the more popular mods that arent listed then let me know and i'll try to add them (but confirm they have working downloads first, many werent listed because of that) also let me request that anyone with saved files of sh3 or sh4 mods please upload them to subsim downloads section if they arent already there so that they can be shared and they are preserved for everyones use in the future. |

Well said. This is/was something that bothers me about mods. Become one of the "Modmen" or have one of us upload it for you here.

Initial install of SH4
After many years of playing the SH series I finally have the time & $$ to set sail with SH4. Need advice on the best setup procedure to load the game and updates (1.4 or 1.5) along with recommended mods (trigger maru or ?). This will be on an Intel dual core, 3ghz, 2GB ram with a GTX 9800 card. It'll play on a 46" HDTV when my wife give me the remote control back ~Thanks

Hi, i'm new to editing in SH4 but i'm kinda familiar with editing in other games. I'm use to just editing most things in notepad but when i open a .zon file or .sim file all i get is half english an half...it seems unreadable.
example: reload"Range range<F angle4Bammo_storage$APshell̖ Gp' amount}$HEshell̖ɫZ amount}$AAshell amount}$SSshell amount}Fireeffectj;k I'm trying to edit ammo storage, sub speed, weapons power, ext. I downloaded silent3editor but all i get is half bits of stuff and never teh real meat of what i want. My game works fine so i know its not a bad file. please help |
