NewUIs with TDC for SH5 by TheDarkWraith
version 6.3.7
YOU HAVE TO BE PATCHED TO v1.2 OF THE GAME!!!
COPYRIGHT NOTICE: The code changes made to the .py files are the intellectual property of TheDarkWraith and may not be used, modified, or duplicated in whole, or in part, without the express written permission of TheDarkWraith. The code changes made to these files may not be used in any commercial application of any form without the express written permission of TheDarkWraith.
To install this mod correctly do the following:
Navigate to where you unzipped the mod to and open it up. Select the 'MODS' folder and right click on it. Select copy. Navigate to your '\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\' folder and open it up. Right click in an empty area and select paste. Enable 'NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7_ByTheDarkWraith' via JSGME FIRST then enable any additional add-on mods you want (this assumes you setup JSGME to use the 'MODS' folder as default)
NOTE: is this mod perfect? NO WAY. It will continue to evolve as I learn more about the files and the game itself. Does the mod contain any bugs or errors? I hope not but to say it doesn't would be foolish. I will address errors/bugs as users find them and post them in my UIs thread. If the automatic mast height function isn't working correctly please start the game with Admin rights (right click the SH5 icon and select RunAs-->Administrator)
This mod will bring the several new UIs to SH5. Currently the list of UIs are:
- SH3 style
- SH4 style
- SH5 Enhanced
SH3 style UI consists of:
- familiar 3 dials (throttle/speed, heading/rudder, depth25/depth260).
- Officer shortcut bar with commands for officers.
- TDC. Each scope's TDC mode can be set to: no TDC, minimal dials, all dials
- Fuel, CO2, O2, and battery levels bargraph. Used to monitor levels of each. Current level displayed on bar graph.
SH4 style UI consists of:
- familiar 3 dials (throttle/speed, heading/rudder, depth25/depth260).
- TDC. Each scope's TDC mode can be set to: no TDC, minimal dials, all dials
- Fuel, CO2, O2, and battery levels bargraph. Used to monitor levels of each. Current level displayed on bar graph.
SH5 Enhanced UI consists of:
- TDC. Each scope's TDC mode can be set to: no TDC, minimal dials, all dials
- Heading bar integrated into the speed bar. Clicking the heading bar readout will reveal a heading/rudder dial. The dial is switchable from heading mode to rudder mode by clicking on the button under the dial. Clicking on the heading bar readout again will hide the dial (it retains the mode it was in when revealed again). Mousing into the heading bar readout and pressing the appropriate keys will set the ordered heading. You can press and hold the appropriate keys to keep changing the ordered heading. The appropriate keys (and all options) can be changed by editing \MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7_TheDarkWraith\data\Scripts\ Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py). Mousing out of the heading bar readout with a new ordered heading will cause this ordered heading to take effect. The dial can also be used to set the ordered heading / rudder angle. A tooltip has been integrated to be shown when you mouse into the heading bar readout. It will either display the current heading or if you have requested a new ordered heading the current ordered heading. Once within 5 degrees of the ordered heading the tooltip will start to display the current heading. The heading/rudder dial can also be cycled on/off using a hotkey. The state of the dial (rudder or heading) can be switched via hotkey also.
- Officer shortcut bar with commands for officers.
- optional integrated levels that gives the user Fuel, CO2, O2, and battery levels bargraph. Used to monitor levels of each. Current level displayed on bar graph.
Common to all UIs:
- Option to enable heading display in Binocular view
- Added skwasjer's digital clock to top right
For those UIs that utilize the familiar 3 dials:
- The dials have two states.
- The first dial has the states of: engine order telegraph and speed.
- The second dial has states of heading and rudder angle (though angle displayed on dial doesn't match rudder deflection currently. Still sorting that out).
- The third dial has states of shallow depth and deep depth.
- To change states simply click on the button below the dial.
- The dials will expand when the mouse is inside them and they will contract when mouse is outside them (like zoom in/out). Individual zoom levels can be set for throttle, speed, heading, rudder, depth260, and depth25.
- User can lock out each individual dial (and each state of the dial) from zooming.
- The animation rate of the dials expanding/contracting can also be changed.
- The dials can be customized by using a different .dds file. See the readme.txt file in \Dials.
For those UIs that utilize the TDC:
- There are four versions of the TDC included - All dials, minimal dials, spread angle only, and no TDC
- All dials will take control of the functionality of the SH5 interface for a torpoedo solution (and associated controls in the SH5 stock UI are removed).
- Minimal dials just exposes the dials not exposed by the stock SH5 UI and also uses the stock UI.
- spread angle only just adds the spread angle dial to the TDC
- No TDC removes the TDC from the mod.
- The TDC interfaces have been included on the obs periscope, attack periscope, and UZO. User has option to disable TDC on each station mentioned.

xxx = Attack, Obs, or UZO
To install All dials (for each scope):
In the options file set: xxxTDCMode = TDCAllDials
To install minimal dials (for each scope):
In the options file set: xxxTDCMode = TDCMinimalDials
To install spread angle only dial (for each scope):
In the options file set: xxxTDCMode = TDCSpreadAngle
To install No TDC (for each scope):
In the options file set: xxxTDCMode = NOTDCDials
All user configurable settings can be found in the file '\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7_TheDarkWraith\data\Scripts \Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py'
********** NOTE: ***********
In order to receive messages from the ship's journal feature of the mod you need to ensure the following is set like the below in your \Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg:
[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
MenuEditor=No
DebugScripts=Yes
This mod also saves and restores position information of certain draggable items. Those draggable items that do not have dragging enabled via the options file will not be updated at game start - they will default to their default position information. The draggable items are:
- Officers
- SH5 Enhanced mode heading/rudder dial
- Clock
- XO TDC Dialog box
- Otto's integrated Chalkboard mod
- Messagebox
- Gramophone
- Radio
- Enhanced Recognition Manual add-on mod
The position information is stored in a file for each page. The files are located in your SH5 install path (...\Silent Hunter 5). The files are named as follows: pagex_Draggables.TDW. The information in the files is stored in binary form and can be viewed using a hex editor if one wishes. To erase all stored position information simply delete the pagex_Draggables.TDW files. Upon restart of the game new files will be created and the items will be at their stock default location. NOTE: if you are having trouble with items not repositioning or the likes it is probably because Windows is enforcing a privilege level on the game. Simply start the game with Admin rights (right click the SH5 icon and select RunAs-->Administrator)
Automation has been added to this mod. Automation is exactly as it sounds - the automatic carrying out of orders defined by the user via scripts. All scripts and available commands are defined in \data\Automation\TDW_Automation.txt (this file can be opened with Notepad). NOTE: if you open up Automation in game and nothing is in the boxes (categories, available scripts, activated scripts) then you have re-installed your game at some point and changed where you had originally installed it. This is an installer bug present in the game's installer. What the game installer fails to do when you do this is to update the registry with the new path. You'll have to update this registry key with the correct path to your SH5 folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\GameUpdate.
A BIG thanks to maerean_m for information and assistance he gave in helping me make the TDC come to life for the obs periscope, attack periscope, and UZO. Thanks again!!
The default text is English. There is a new folder called '\Text'. In it you will find folders of all the different languages I have for the mod. Navigate to you language and then copy the menu.txt file and paste in '\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7_TheDarkWraith\data\Menu'. Then copy the 'MODS' folder to your '\Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\' folder (this assumes that you setup JSGME to use the MODS folder as default). Enable via JSGME.
Current languages supported by this are:
English
German
French
Polish
Spanish
Russian
Italian
I urge you to play the game with the enhanced SH5 UI. I prefer this UI to even the SH3 UI (familiar 3 dials). I still haven't gotten around to fixing the problems with the SH4 UI command bar yet.
Manos scope mod is the default scope mod for this mod. The default aspect ratio is 4:3
NOTE: The default RAOBF graticules for the scopes are calibrated for the attack, obs, and UZO. Calibrations are:
attack - 1x and 6x
obs - 1x and 6x
UZO - 7x
If you are using a mod that changes the zoom levels of these scopes (i.e. Arclight's periscope mod) then you'll need a patch to change the graticules to the correct 'value'.
NOTE: Teleporting is not perfect! If you find yourself 'outside' of the sub press shift+U to get back inside. Hopefully you never find yourself in this situation.....
See the included documention for a complete list of features contained in the mod (\data\Documentation)
Changelog (complete changelog available in \Documentation):

Maybe Iīm just too stupid, but as a matter of fact Iīm really angry now. Installed the Mod, played for hours, sneaked into a convoy and lo and behold - couldnīt fire a torp, instead i got confusing messages about torp doors opening and/ or closing. Tried salvo, nothing happened when I hit the fire button.
I also realized that the auto aiming (which I actually wanted) was omitted.
As much as I apreciate your work, it spoiled my evening. Maybe I did something stupid? Can someone PLEASE help? Iīd like to keep the interface mod, but I also would like to keep auto targeting. Besides, why is it that I couldnīt fire my torps???
Hi, every time I try to enable this mod my game goes straight from loading to the after game stats. It goes through all the pre-amble and then the "Silent Hunter 5" screen appears with the loading bar building up across the bottom. Once the bar reaches half way the screen goes black and then the "ugame" thing appears with after game stats.
My System is Windows Xp sp3: 3.7 gig Phenom with 4 gig(1599mhz) RAM. with an nvidea450 GTS.
I really want to get this mod working as I desperately need proper control over the TDC.
Ok umm I did exactly what he said about correctly installing the mod I have V1.2 and nothing is happening in my UI ingame is there a way to enable the mod directly as the copy paste and enable is not working plz or am I missing something
Just started using this mod the other day and am loving it!
I do have a question though about the recognition manual...
I'm seeing a number of "filters" but they don't seem to work. (whenever I select one I generally get an empty page) Is there an option that I'm not setting correctly?
My full mod list right now is:

I know I'm a little late to be posting this, but I wanted to go ahead and thank you for this, and all of your other work in making this game so much better than Ubisoft did.
