TDW...

I think I have your Options view working. I can see all the tabs and values, but cant change anything. So is this a true "viewer" or can you change values within the Options viewer?

EDIT: Nevermind...just found out how it works Awesome stuff TDW.

TDW... (or anyone else)

Not exactly sure what to do with the instructions in the Dials folder

"select appropriate 'Dials.dds' (or use your own!) and place in 'MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Menu\G ui'. Do this before enabling mod!
If there is a folder inside called 'TDC' then you have to copy the files in that folder to 'MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Menu\G ui\TDC'. Do this before enabling mod!"

I think you mean to copy the dials.dds from the zipped file, and place it in the directory stated within your MODS folding in your game directory?

And when you say "If there is a folder inside called 'TDC' then you have to copy..." Inside where? The zipped file? or the folder in my MODs folder in my game drive?

Hi there,

Yes, copy it and paste it, and let it overwrite, in the MOD's directory folder.
Do this before you activate the mod.

For some of the optional dials (like the \Dials\German\metric\conus00\drops\TDC) you should do the same but paste it into the MOD's \data\menu\gui\TDC folder

If you should change your mind there are default backups.

Thanks Silent...I think I have it sorted now

Why choose the erase of "Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 HOTFIX 3"?

ithink he just didn`t recognised that you havent installed "SDBSM`s additional crew sounds beta" (this beta include the hotfix 3 allready).

so your question is justified...

[quink99]

I hope SH 5 isn't trying to tell me something but I've just spent a fair amount of time reinstalling SH 5 because I had no access to my NAV MAP. Every Time I would try to access it by any means, i.e, the steering wheel icon or the F3 key on Church's keyboard it would immediately cause a CTD. Without it, of course, extended long range navigation or location was impossible. I finally gave up and went ahead with the dreaded reinstall.

Immediately after the fresh reinstall I tried the stock version with no MODS and it and the NAV map worked perfectly so I thought I would start with what seemed like the basic MOD...NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_ByTheDarkWraith. When I tried to open the game after enabling this MOD I received the following error message;

Error IOException
Could not add reference to assembly TDW sound in DATA/Scripts/Menu/TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py

Traceback (most recent call last);
File ScriptWrappers, line unknown, in ExecuteForInitialzation
File ScriptWrappers, line unknown, in ExecuteForInitialzation
File, line0, in DATA/Scripts/Menu/TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py##145
File, line0, in AddReference##140
IOError: Could not add reference to assembly TDWSound

Script disabled!

When I checked OK on the bottom of the message I was unceremoniously dumped on a screen I'd never seen before which was kind of a rectangular box with "ears" for selecting options and the only way to escape that was to push ESC and then no option was available but to EXIT the game.

Since I've spent more time then I care to think about trying to play SH5 over the last several weeks with out any success at all any one who can help me resolve this problem will be instantly deified into my pantheon of heros and I might even mail you a virtual case of good Mexican beer!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Quink and welcome to the forum

First, let's check a few things

1. Are you patched to version 1.2 of the SH5?
In the Main Menu of SH5 you can see the version in the upper right corner.
If it says 1.0 you must patch it, otherwise the TDW's mods won't work properly - run the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe and you should get patched automatically.
Reboot SH5.

2. Did you make any changes at all in the NewUIs_TDC_x_x_x_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Scripts\Menu \TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py at all?
If you did - try to paste an original, unchanged one into the same place of the mod.
Activate the mod.

Please let me know and we'll take it from there.

Well - should I install Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 HOTFIX 3 ?

[Rongel]

Thanks for the new version TDW!

Couple of things I noticed:

I'm playing with german sounds, but the new sounds this mod adds are in english (ship sending help messages when destroyed for example). It's a bit distracting, so could there be a german version of these sounds? Maybe Stormfly could help...

Another thing is the options editor/viewer. I can't get it working, I start by selecting the location of the menu.txt and then try opening TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py but I get a error message saying:

Invalid entry found. MIN value not a float. Line read was #VALUES=MIN0.0 @line number 110

Is it me or the program that is not working

Otherwise it's all good
