Thanks for the links but I'm not sure you understood what i meant. Standard tool helper (as in your 2nd link) has its center on the tip of the line you draw with the ruler when you draw it, which means that you can tell the bearing as you draw that said line. My pic shows how the tool is placed constantly above the line while drawing it so i can't figure out what bearing it has unless i confirm it and move the bearing tool on top of it after that. Not that big of a problem, but i was curious what could have changed the way it normally works.

Edit: Aahh, nevermind. I hadn't noticed that although i installed EquaTool, i had the small standard helper for some reason, which is probably the cause. I pointed the mod enabler to your mep file to load the mods automatically, which leads to the next question. Seeing as something went wrong when installing that particular mod (got no warning of any kind), is it better to auto-load or manually load them one by one?

Auto load the list or not , it doesnt matter . You can use notepad to change the mods on the MEP file if you want to add mods or change or delete some . All the MEP file does is make it easier and less time consuming when loading mod lists .
I am using the protractor from the tools on the left of the HUD .

Yep, i changed it since i wanted the german version of the generic speech fixes mod :). Was just wondering if the enabler might occasionally mess something up, seeing as that EquaTool didn't install properly last time. Thanks for your support, skipper! :up:

Hi :)

So far I have read that steam users are doomed because we can't use the "TDW SH5Patcher".

I have followed the above instructions to the letter and have set up all the mods (except TDW SH5Patcher) using the latest .mep file. All I did was edit out the TDW SH5Patcher.

So after clicking on New Campaign, and then "Skip tutorial", the game starts to load and then crashes to desktop (with no error message) after approximately 2 minutes of loading. Here is my mod list:

I have not managed to fix the problem, but I have found a workaround:

1. Disable all mods
2. Start a new career and skip tutorial
3. Game loads fine and creates the bunker auto-save
4. Exit game.
5. Enable all mods
6. Load bunker auto-save.
7. It works!

Now that I finally got the game working I came across another problem. Whenver I return from missions I often crash when nearing Kiel harbour. Any ideas?
