How to Open a Python file with Notepad:

Chances are you won't have a program dedicated to opening .py (Python) files like I do, so you'll get a dialog saying "Windows can't open this file:"



Choose "Select a program from a list of installed programs" then click OK.

From the "Open with" dialog, scroll down till you find "Notepad". Highlight it and click OK. Notepad will open Python files for you now.




Instructions and Examples for NewUI + TDC:

This UI mod has added in more features to Silent Hunter 5 than it shipped with! Dial based TDC, convoy and single merchant contact times on the map, numerous map assists, dragable charts, "Integrated Orders" officer command bar, fully customizable UI options and key bindings. It's also constantly being updated with even more options and features.

Using this mod will completely change how you play SH5. It even has options to use the familiar SH3 or SH4 interfaces!

The following link is a video walkthrough of how to install . Because of all the options some people were getting confused about how to install it, so here ya go:

How to Change UI Styles:

First step is to find the options file to edit it. You can find the file under C:\Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter 5 \ MODS \ NewUIs_TDC_2_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith \ data \ Scripts \ Menu and the file is called TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py




Once the file is open you'll see some text like below. Just follow the instructions in blue to change to whatever style you'd like!

This is the default, SH5Enhanced style, no changes are needed:



If you wanted SH3Style:



And if you wanted SH4Style:



After making your changes, save the file, enable the mod and enjoy!
