Hi TDW

After playing few missions with the Magnum Opus installed (+ a few sound mods), I ran into a couple of problems:
- With the SH3 style UI enabled, the time compression factor is not displayed (on the upper right corner bar, near the radio contacts range). There are the + - signs, with nothing displayed between them, just the grey background of the bar.
- There is no script displayed in the Automation window. All three columns are empty. (I'm inept with using scripts, so maybe I just didn't get it right).

Otherwise, the megamod is fantastic, with a great immersion factor

TDW, Glad to see the Mega mod is in beta, great news!

I noticed you didn't have "MightyFine Less Annoying Footstep Sounds for SH5" in your list, and as I don't know a lot of those in the list can i suggest you add this one to it? or is there already one?

Cheers.


MightyFine Less Annoying Footstep Sounds for SH5

This is a very simple mod to replace the annoying sounds when walking on a metal surface to the much more subdued walking on wood sounds.

Install with JSGME

Oh dear, its one headache after another!.

I downloaded the 'Magnus Opus', file to my desktop again, this time it worked correctly, and i was able to open it via WinZip!, i was then faced with 2775 odd files, which i looked through trying to find the one called MODS, to open and copy/paste into my Silenthunter 5 MODS folder.

After some time with no success in finding the file, i re-read you instructions and figured you ment copy paste the whole downloaded file (Magnus Opus) into the SH5 MODS folder which i did (it still has the WinZip logo on it!), i then went and opened JSGME, but alas the mod was not there to activate!!

Any chance of a quick picture demo or something....this is driving me insane!

Thanks


Edit: Ok, im a dick, using the simplier 7-Zip, i realised i had'nt extracted the files!!!!..its noe in JSGME, i'll give it a go.

Feedback.

Right, i've activated the mod through JSGME, and loaded SH5, which loaded as normal and good, given there is no differences to the title screen, and i have'nt played SH5 before, how will i knoe straight after starting a campaign that the mod is installed.

Whats bothering me, is seeing in your collection a mod that says "Remove logo intro".....well my game loaded as standard i.e the Ubisoft logo was there and the starting film etc..!!

Thanks again....nearly there!

No the mod has not been enabled!!!!

1st go to your mods folder (for me its D:\Games\simulator\SH5/mods).

inside this folder open up Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 and inside should be 2 folders... 1 called data and the other documentation.

if this is not the case then u have put the wrong folder into your MODS folder.

i suspect that you've prob got just one folder called MODS inside your Magnum_Opus folder.... if so then you need drag this folder to your desktop and open it up. Inside you'll find 2 folders.

Magnum_Opus_scopes (do not enable)
Magnum_Opus-v0_0_1

you need to put this Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 folder into your SH5\mods folder then activate with Generic Mod Enabler.

HUGE thanks to everyone that's contributed to this brilliant and long awaited mod.

Special thanks to TDW.....well done sir.

Thanks Very much....you were right, and it now works as expected!!!

One thing though, i've just started my first campaign, and expected to start in a U-boat pen with the Atlantic in fornt of me.....except im stuck in the middle of a Tutorial!!!!!
Seriously, im finding it hard to even bare it.....is there any way i can avoid this forced non-sence.

Thanks

[Illyustrator]

TheDarkWraith, congratulate You and All Modders, and as patient Testers on this long-awaited event. To me it is especially pleasant, that Mega-Mod is called «Magnum Opus».
Huge to all of you Thanks for your work!!!
We continue to work...

yes there is. If you open up the \documents\SH5\data\CareerHistory.cfg file you'll find an entry:

HasCompletedTutorial=true

Make it say 'true' as above and then start another campaign. Recommend deleting your 'started' campaign and then remaking it. It will ask you if you want to skip the tutorial - say yes

As you see sober seems to have already figured out my problem with the MCCD part of the mod.

The menu.txt files for all the languages need to be updated still also. I don't speak or write anything other than English so the community will have to pitch in here.

Yes of course Sir.
This is a real pleasure play this game right now with this stuff. I wrote - in my opinion, I know this is beta... but this beta vs stock SH5 is a release, isn`t?
My english is very poor... so sometimes some misunderstanding - for give me My intentions were good anyway. Looked into .py and I thought that something has simply overlooked.
Personally, I like pastels and soft colors. I `m playing ... not only me, I think, mainly in the dark, and I think bright colors shocked eyes.But... As i said it is my personal opinion. It`s working and this is a big deal

And here I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the creation of THIS MOD. In whole and in detail.
