Let's all calm down. I love submarine sims as much as anyone, but remember that it's just a game.

It looks pretty obvious that an amateur will not go for the mods and for the sake of giving everyone the game he wants, we spend more time working on files and configuring that playing at all.

Trying to make everyone happy instead of just building the mod with the 100% possible realism, building hundreds of options in different files and hundreds of submods is just not a good idea in my opinion.

After all you still can't make everyone happy.

But I am fed up of wasting time on options, editing, testing, enabling, disabling, downloading and, of course, CURSING AND SWEARING.

This was the worst purchase of 2010 for me... if only I could find my SH3 DVD... :yawn:

If you want, this or that scope... do this.

If you want this or that RM...do this.

If you want the AI to be this or that ... do this.

This is absolutely RUBBISH.

What was the scope of the VII sub? What was the RM? What's the max AI skill?

:down: Disgusting.

You only have to take 5-10 min. to read the README.txt or RTFM.txt, setup some things to your taste (scopes, maps, difficulty, etc) and go sink some british ships.

It deserves to "waste your invaluable time" :nope: doing that in consideration all the modders in this compilation have spent probably months repairing some bugs (AI, campaign, etc) and making you 3 UI selectable (because the one you want it´s not the want another wants) and all the stuff in Magnus Opus.

What do you want man? A GWX installer? Go find SH3 DVD and come here when is released.

Your post was RUBBISH for me.

(Sorry Takeda, needed to defend what deserves)

PS: Even an "amateur" can start reading ... and knowing that the more options the better it is.

What Horror...:o
What for you have snatched on Shockwave74! What for you wish to trample it. The person is simply tired.
He does not accuse TDW and others Modders. He has told, that it is a lot of options it is bad. To be adjusted on all players difficultly and not really. TDW without your help will solve it Reproach or the healthy Criticism. I will tell to you on a secret. It the Normal, Adequate person. And, believe, will distinguish crafty from the sincere person.
… I RESPECT TDW and its WORK, low to you bow!!!
But... To me is closer to liking Ui-Boat from reaper7. Idle time, without superfluous options (as the Author has solved)...
(Excuse for my English)

Some of the hotkeys allow control to be selected also. Which hotkeys are you looking for control keypress required?

Regarding CTD's:

I was about to fiddle with the Environmental mod and to get rid of it to determine if its the cause for my (and maybe others too) CTD's.

It is tougher to get rid of it than I thought.

TheDarkWraith 01-23-11 06:04 PM

Those of you having CTDs - what OS are you using? 32bit or 64bit version? What video card?

Those of you not having CTD's - what OS are you using? 32bit or 64bit version? What video card?

I'm using Win7 64bit (8GB memory) with an nVidia GTX480 and have no problems what-so-ever :DL

I don't usually get involved in these types of posts, but..I really enjoy SH5 compared to the earlier editions!

Part of the enjoyment is (for me at least), the anticipation and use of the new mods that these brilliant fellows here "bring to the table".

They really aren't confusing, based on my gaming experiences over many years. In fact compared to most, SH5 mods are the most detailed and thoroughly explained I've ever used..add in JGME and it's about as good as you can get..IMHO

SH5 is like a beautiful girl with some blemishes..they'll clear up in the end.:03:

Here is something to try for those of you having CTDs or using 32 bit OS:

Try this only if you have at least 2 GByte of RAM and at your own risk and using Vista/Win7 32 bit version.
First download the explorer from http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php
Next make a backup copy of SH5.exe. Then start "CFF Explorer" and open the orginal SH5.exe file.
Now go to NT Header/File Header and click File Header. There you will find a button labeld "click here". Click it and select the mark at "App can handle> 2gb adressest "
Save the modified EXE, overwrite the orginal one (You do have your backup of it in a safe location right?).
If you run Windows Vista 64 or Windows XP 64 or Win7 64 you're ready and didnt need to read on. The rest is only for Windows Vista 32/Win7 32 or maybe Windows XP.
Now make Windows Vista/Win7 (32-Bit) ready to support more than 2 GByte.
Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find it under "Programs->Accessories->Command prompt" click right and select "run as administrator".
Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" (without quotes) in the command window and press enter.
After that restart windows

To reset back to 2GB limit:
to reset the Increased User Adressspace just start the commandline prompt with Admin right again and enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2048"

See if the above helps at all :yep:

Another idea is to install previous version of DirectX ( < v11). I have Win7 64bit but ALWAYS install previous DirectX versions for compatibility reasons. Go to Microsoft's website and search for DirectX. Run the DirectX web installer from their website. You can have DirectX9 AND DirectX11 installed on Win7.

EDIT:

just checked the sh5.exe file and it's large address aware so enabling the 3GB switch in 32bit OSs should help:

Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 9.00.30729.01

Put the dvd in the drive and open files .
Look for the detectionui_r application and run that .
