THEBERBSTERS All In One Beginners Mega Mod For SH4
Last updated 15th May 2019
THEBERBSTERS All In One Beginners Mega Mod for SH4 v1 This Post has all the information about this Mega Mod. This Mega Mod takes the Stock/Vanilla Game to the next level thanks to Webster’s excellent GFO Mega Mod which removes a lot of the bugs and glitches from the unmodded Stock Game. For the benefit of newcomers and anyone else who would like to mod a Mega Mod but is not sure what to do I have taken some of the best mods around by various modders and created a simple installation for you. This will give you a very playable and enjoyable game. Important Installation Instructions Must Be Read First The first important thing to do now is to create a New Folder Now on your system before you Download the Zip file. Did you remember to create the new folder that I mentioned in my SH4 tutorial? No > Exit the Zip file and copy and paste the Zip file to your New Folder. Ok, so you have your New Folder and your Zip File Download is in it. Open the Zip file and you will see 5 items. Click on the Extract Tab. Follow the prompt to Extract and Exit the Zip file. You will now see the contents of the Zip file in your New Folder along with the Zip File you downloaded. Copy and Paste the MODS Folder that you can see to your SH4 Main Game Folder. Installing JSGME Copy and Paste the JSGME Application to your SH4 Main Game Folder. Open the JSGME Application and accept the prompts. Untick the option to View online user guide. Click on Finish to complete the installation. Open JSGME and Enable the Mods. Document Folder This contains all the information regarding the mods used in this collection. Note 1. If you have previously been playing a modded game you may wish to install this mega mod on a clean SH4 installation having used a Registry Cleaner. Note 2. If you have been playing an unmodded Stock/Vanilla Game then there is no need to re-install. Note 3. Large Address Aware (LAA) is an essential application for those of you who have a certain amount of spare ram. The SH4 game only allows 2gb of ram to be used. LAA allows your system to use what ram is available to your game. By using this application stops ctd’s where without it ctd’s would undoubtedly occur in the game at some time. Further information and instructions can be found in my Post #13 Large Address Aware (LAA) Easy Install. Picture 1. > Main folder needs to be opened.  Picture 2 > Contents of Downloaded Zip File.  Picture 3. > These are the Mods used in this Mega Mod with options showing that can be changed by you. Note 4. Mod 2 New Orders Bar Menu does not need to be enabled when enabling the mod Max Optics IV for GFO 1.1 Note 5. Mod 17 should not be enabled.  Picture 4. > Document Folder Mod Information Text Files you can open and read.  If you are going to install more than 1 version of SH4 the following options are available here. MulitiSH4 by Potoroo Silent Hunter 4 Corruption Management System (SH4CMS) Courtesy acknowledgement to all modders. A special thank you to Webster.

Moving Steam From A Protected Directory To A File Folder.
How to move STEAM from the protected Program Files (x86) Directory to a new game folder.
Orignially Posted by propbeanie http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=5223 Originally Posted by Rockin Robbins Also, hopefully, said Steam game folder is not part of your \Program Files or \Program Files (x86) protected system directories ("directories" is what we call them on real computers, not "folders") Set up Steam to put new games in a different directory. Then you'll have to reinstall SH4 (you DO have the U-Boat Missions version, don't you?) in a root directory. Mine is C:\Steam games. Should be end of problem unless the mod isn't installed correctly. Keep us posted and we'll get you running! Originally Posted by lukterran How do you do that? Ever time I try and tell Steam to move the files into another directory it only wants to give me to move it into the D: drive and leaves no other options other than the default.

Beginners Guide To Manual Targeting In SH4 Introducing The Position Keeper
Last updated 4th March 2015
This is a simple Tutorial for those having used Auto Targeting would like to have a try at using Manual Targeting. 1. When the Target first appears on the Map Pause the game, take the Ruler and draw a straight line from the Stern through the Bow centre to past your sub. 2. This is the Target Course Line (TCL). 3. Next is to get the Targets Speed using the 3.15 second rule. 4. With the Protractor draw out a 90ᴼ line on the TCL and move the sub on to it. 5. Dive to Periscope depth so you are not seen. 6. The sub must be stopped before taking any further measurements. 7. If the target is using a fixed course then the only later change needed will be to the Range. 8. Identify the Target as soon as possible. 9. Set up the Torpedoes and use the Q key to open the Torpedo doors. 10. Make sure that the Protractor arrow is in the middle of the sub and move the 90ᴼ to 80ᴼ. 11. Take the Ruler and from the centre of the sub and draw down the 80ᴼ line to the TCL. 12. The distance showing is the Range. 13. The Periscope firing position will either be 10ᴼ or 350ᴼ depending which way the target is approaching. 14. 10ᴼ = 80ᴼ AOB Port 15. 350ᴼ = 80ᴼ AOB Starboard. 16. We have all the Data needed to enter manually in to the TDC > Speed > AOB > Range. 17. Position your Periscope Bearing first and do not forget to press the Red Button each time you enter Data in the TDC. 18. Move the Periscope to lock the Target and lower it a little so it will not be seen. 19. You will notice as the Target moves so your Periscope Bearing moves with it. 20. When the target is about 1,500 yards away Pause the Game redraw the TCL > redraw 80ᴼ redraw Range. 21. Enter any new Range in to the TDC adding 20 yards and pressing the Red Button to update the TDC. 22. When the Target shows on the Periscope Bearing either 10ᴼ or 350ᴼ press the Position Keeper (PK) Button and it will show a red colour to let you know it is tracking the Target. 23. Press the F6 (Attack Map) immediately and you will see your firing solution. 24. If you have followed my instructions you should be seeing a near perfect firing solution. 25. Fire the Torpedoes. You will have noticed that this simple method does not use the Stadimeter. Using this method if you are within a 1,000 yards it should give you a high level of success.

Hi DjDrj
Not quite sure what you mean't? 1-2-3-4-5 are the mod difficulty levels with 1 being the easiest. RFB2.0 is very popular but you have to keep moving the crew about but TMOwtw2.50 you do not and is comparable as far as the difficulties go. If you are just starting SH4 then Webster's GFO is a good way to learn how SH4 works and takes the stock game to the next level. Peter

At the top of the post you mention the five mods, each representing a level of difficulty. Further down you mention 'Correct Mod Order' with additional mods. My goal is to play with TMO. Should I install all of the five mods? If so, where do I put the additional mods? Sorry if this sounds noobish, can you clear this up for me? |

Hi rainiere
Code:
1. Stock/Vanilla 2. Webster’s GFO 3. TMOwTw 2.50 = RFB 2.0 4. TMO v2.5 5. Traveller Mod v2.6 Final for TMO 2.5 As you may have noticed I do not play the full TMO version but the lighter 'wtw' (with training wheels). This is a very playable version and is a bit easier. Gamers playing the full version of TMO usually add additional mods to make the game difficulty even harder, but its not for me! My current mod list looks like this. TMOwTw 2.50 < additional mods are in the documents folder wTw 2.50 Max Optics with Crosshair Webster's Eliminate Floating Plankton Eye Patch for TMO v1.7 < 4 versions in mod Bigger Better Protractors Convoy Routes TMO+RSRD < optional just a map Pacific Sound Mod Stop The Shouting wTw 2.50 Stock Sub Underwater Marker The full 'Read me text document' from wtw. This is not a new MOD, but rather a simplified version of Trigger Maru Overhauled 2.5 It is meant for the younger or casual player and was intended as a middle step between the stock game and TMO 2.5. It is only intended for use with Silent Hunter IV patched to 1.5 or the Gold edition. As many as possible of the features of TMO have been left in place, the improved graphics, the command structure and all of the fun changes made by TMO over the stock game. Here are some of the ways it differs from TMO: The boxes, tails and ship outlines on the navigation map are like stock. The Nomograph is gone. The Next/Previous Unit keys, < > are enabled. The enemy sensors are toned down a bit. Watch it, they are still very dangerous. The Thermal Layer is very strong. If you are under the layer you can run right under an escort at 1/3 ahead on Silent Running and they may detect something, but they will not be able to locate you well enough to attack. The Thermal Layer is your best friend. The Gramophone icon has been replaced by a ship draft chart. The buttons to work the Gramophone are on the bottom right corner of the chart. The clock is a gold 1939 Hamilton, because I like it. The deck gun loads in 4 seconds. The torpedoes are very reliable during the early war years and get even better after mid 1943. If you want to change back to the poorly performing torpedoes that were in use during the early war years, you can enable the Historic Torpedoes MOD in the Support Folder/Optonal MODs. The Sub underwater marker is back, sort of. It has been replaced by the wTw logo. There are MODs to remove the marker or change it back to stock in the Support Folder/Optional MODs The Captains desk photo is the iconic Betty Grable pin-up pic, again becuase I like it. Enable order. TMOwTw 2.50 Any Optional MOD, the order does not matter. RSRD, maybe. Credits: Firts and formost, Ducimus Rapax for his incredible piece of work. This MOD is mostly TMO with a few things hacked out. This MOD is a joint effort of Yooperbacker and dgrayson. Thank you Capt. Scurvy for your MAX Optics MOD This MOD is dedicated to an Old Jarhead who guilted me into doing it, so that he would have something to do while recovering from service related injuries. Get well soon Squid. Semper Fi! Peter

Question about Selections
Below we are asked to select only one of the 6 difficulty levels. If Stock/Vanilly is chosen, which I assume is the stock game as provided by Steam or on a DVD, how can mods be added? Or maybe I misunderstand?
Select Only select 1 difficulty level from the 6 below: 1. Stock/Vanilla 2. Webster’s GFO 3. TMOwTw 2.50 = RFB 2.0 4. TMO v2.5 5.Fall Of The Rising Sun Ultimate (FOTRSU) 6. Traveller Mod v2.6 Final for TMO 2.5 Note TMOwTw 2.50 contains a number of add on mods that are included in the Documentation Folder [/FONT][/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][/QUOTE] |

Only one polite "complaint" though: You are using many, many empty lines. This makes it much harder to keep overview and it is difficult to see which line belongs to which portion as this example here shows:
