SH5: Bugs, glitches, and issues thread

[Havan_IronOak]

I'm trying the mods that you suggested in your post but...

Is there something wrong with DynEnv v2.9 - 3.b Enhanced Visibility (high)?

Everything was great but when I activated DynEnv v2.9 - 3.b Enhanced Visibility (high) I get mostly green moving blotches below the surface. I'm guessing that a texture is missing or something.

So far I've instituted

Hello everybody,

I knwo that this topic was discussed sometimes, but as far as I see there was no solution. The thing is, that my magnetic detonators are not working. Doesnt matter if my torpedos passing 0.2m, 0.4m, 0.8m, 1.4m, 3m below the ship they are not detonating. I am pretty sure that the depth is correct, while identified the ship. I am mostly using the T1 with slow speed.

My game version is V1.2
My OS: Win7 64bit

Critical hits 1.1 Torpedos

I also patched the files relating to torpedos with the patcher V1.0.168

I really really hope that somebody can help me, because I really want to play the game in full bandwith

many Greetings

Hi Clubstudent

You only need to use this mod when you have given bonus points to your torpedo man.

Quote > I also patched the files relating to torpedos with the patcher V1.0.168

Did you patch both of the patches in Patcher 4 and Patcher 6?

In Patcher 4 there is this patch > torpedoes magnetic detonators set to impact only at game start.

In TDW's Options File Editor Viewer there is also this patch in the TDC Tab > torpedoes magnetic detonators set to impact only at game start.

Yes, I need this mod because I gave some points to my torpedo man.

I am not 100% sure what you mean with patcher 4 and patcher 6, but I found two places. One in the SH5.exe and one in the SHSim.
I also thought that those patches influence only the initial settings of detonator. I mostly activating and deactivation the magnetic detonator a few times, to be sure that the setting was taking into account.

Any other idea?

Hi Joerg

You answered the question here:

TDW's Generic File Patcher (GFP) contains 9 patcher files.


Here is your problem as you are not playing stock.

You selected the wrong mod below from folder 2 when you should have selected the mod in folder 4

Welcome to SubSim Clubstudent

[Havan_IronOak]

Thanks Berbster for your suggestions as to mod order. I'm now running the mod loadout listed at the end of this post, and evrything is going better.

I'm running a pretty good machine so I wanted to try the highest quality graphics and they SEEM to work great. I DID have a problem with DynEnv v2.9 - 3.b Enhanced Visibility (high) Not sure why but it gives me moving blocks of light green (NOT enhanced in my opinion!) After removing it, everything else worked great. The undersea rocks and flora that I went down and looked at were very detailed and realistic.

Still have some minor problems...

1) The night sky is REALLY REALLY dark even with stoianm BrighterNights modv1 which I added as a test to see if it would lighten things up. I'm gonna switch to an even brighter one that he has in hopes that that will solve my night-blindness issues. Just pumping up the Gamma Correction is an alternative too but it tends to give everything a washed out look.

2) The recognition manual no longer offers the filters that I found to not be working but is there a mod that does have them? I think that they're a great idea.

3) Instead of getting the grey circular patrol zone areas when I select a mission like the Eastern Coastal approaches, I'm given an icon of a sinking boat and when I click on that it centers my map on a quadrant. I'm guessing that that's my patrol area?

4) Just watched a 50 part You-tube "let's Play Silent Hunter 5" series by a guy called The History Nerd and he gave up in disgust when he couldn't get a resupply of the coast off the US. Is there a one of your tips on that that I've missed?

Hi HIO

You can only use 1 mod from each section.

a-b-c you can only have 1 of them not all 3.

05 DynEnv v2.9 - 8.a Wave Mechanics - Breeze
06 DynEnv v2.9 - 8.b Wave Mechanics - Gale

07 DynEnv v2.9 - 11.a.I Sea Plants - Atlantic Kelp Forests (high resolution)
07 DynEnv v2.9 - 11.b.I Sea Plants - Med Posidonia Meadows (high resolution)
07 DynEnv v2.9 - 11.c.I Sea Plants - Coral Reefs (high resolution)


06 DynEnv v2.9 - 9. Sobers Best Ever Tweaks

This is a mod selection of 5 mods that need to be individually enabled.

It looks like you have put the whole folder in JSGME and enabled it.

That is not how it works.

Some of the mods are now out of date and can be updated from Sobers downloads?

9. Sobers Best Ever Tweaks (Contains the 5 mods below)

Sobers DOF V4 SH5 (No longer listed in Sobers downloads)

Sobers Best Ever Fog V22 (Later version V31 available)

Sobers Better Terrain V3 SH5 (Later version V4 available)

Sobers Lights Cfg V5 SH5 (Later version V10 available)

Sobers waves Mod V9 09012013 (Later version V30 available)


Link to Sobers Downloads for later versions.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=211804


These 3 mods will give you brighter nights and you are using 2 of them.

3.a Enhanced Visibility (Medium)
4.b Camera Filters – Vivid Colors
5.b Ambient Settings – No Murky Waters


I would remove this mod as I would think it is going to overwrite at least 1 DE mod.

stoianm BrighterNights modv1 (middle)


You could also try this Moonlight mod and see if that also helps.

Even if it does not it will look good at night.

You also need to add this behind OHII.

sobers OH2.5 Kiel Lite mod v4 SH5

TDW's Options File Editor Viewer.

if you go to the UI Tab and enable Night Filters in the attack periscope station press the Hud button and you can set up the colours for the periscope filter for night time use.

This mod may, or may not work with Night Filters as this is a different interface to the default Enhanced one.

I've tried to incorporate your last round of changes and things seem better.

I'm also thinking that the last set of problems I've had with the recognition manual are all my fault. I've got some more experiments to run to prove that.

If all this goes well I'm thinking that a I might create a U-Tube video of me modding from a vanilla starting point to what I want. It might help others avoid some of the MANY mistakes I've made. Yes, the instructions are there if you dig deep enough but sometimes a visual word to the wise is helpful. If I do it, I'll be sure and credit you for your help getting ME sorted.

Hi HIO

This mod better known as BARF cannot be used with your mod list as it is not comaptible.

10 BetterRealisticFlotation 1.3 lite


You should be using this mod.


Manos Scopes – patch for 16x9 (other resolutions available)


http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=179068



If you are using manual TDC I also would recommend adding this for better targeting accuracy.

Gap - HD 1 deg Scope Bearing v 1.0

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=182912


The idea of making a video is a good idea.

Its been previously suggested to me to do, but I would not know where to start.

I think also I am a bit too much of a perfectionist to be satisfied with its outcome.

[Havan_IronOak]

Still more follow-up questions!

1) I removed stoianm BrighterNights modv1 as you suggested and even with all the other brighter night's mods the result is still way too dark. It's not just a periscope filter issue either. I couldn't even find my way to the conning tower ladder with the set-up listed below. The problem is that I tend to play this game with older than average eyes in a just slightly darkened room. Ambient light is definitely but not entirely the problem here. When I play at night things are a bit better, but it IS still problematically dark. Guess I shoulda listened when ma said "stop that or you'll go blind!"

Provided that stoianm BrighterNights modv1 does work with the current mod soup, any downside to using it? If I can't get this sorted, I'll probably have to drop the DynEnv v2.9 mods and go with a more "old-eyes friendly" environmental mod mix.

2) I am pulling MoreRealisticPeriscope 1.3 by Arclight from my mod list as soon as I can get these two downloaded and installed. I am right in planning to use both, correct? In this order?
Manos Scopes for SH5 (for TDW's Gui) and
gap - HD 1 deg Scope Bearing v 1.0

3) I downloaded SteelVikings Interior Mod V1.2 (twice now to be sure) but the archive appears to be corrupt. I posted that in the comments. Is there anything else I should do?

4) Added SH5_Type_7_RadioRoom_Tweaks_v0_0_2_byTheBeast to the tail end of my mod list but the items in the mod don't have the same red cast as the rest of the ship. Would changing the load order help in that regard?

5) I've started experimenting with the automated scripts that are available once NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith is installed. Some of the read-me's say that they are designed to run at 128 time compression. Does that mean that you need to be at 128 time compression before running them or will they set TC to 128 and then run, if I start them at slower TC? I've experimented with the one that dives your boat to 20 meters, does an all stop and then runs a hydrophone sweep before surfacing and speeding back up to 7 knots. I'm NOT sure if it's working. When I start it at a lower time compression the boat does dive and then resurfaces and set speed to 7 knots but I've yet to find any contacts. (As an aside... I understood that the best hydrophone results were achieved at 32 meters, no?)
