[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Ubisoft\\Silent Hunter 5\\GameUpdate

and change this key:

installdir

Make the value of that key point to where your actual Silent Hunter 5 folder is

Thanks for all your help TDW. I really appreciate it. I'll do this now.

You'll know if you did it correctly when the DbgView output says the InstallPath= your actual Silent Hunter 5 install path

Fixed the path in the registry and all is fine now. Thanks again

=>

SH5 NavMap = supermarkcolor in navmap is x'FF8080' = reddish and that's wrong.

I finally figured out what you were trying to say. This problem has been fixed and it will be available in v6.9.0

[TheDarkWraith]

v6.9.0 released. See post #1 for details

Geez......., I can't even finish my soup before someone changes the ingredients. Back to the kitchen.

[THE_MASK]

That fuel - battery switch automation is great . It makes the game so much better not having to press those all the time . How many times do you think i have pressed them since playing SH3 .

[Silent Steel]

Like JRESCALANTE I'm back in the galley.

TDW -THANKS again for all your inexhaustible and brilliant work

HI all

I have encoutered someting that I cant seem to be able to fix. The problem is on the SH5enhanced UI the officers icons overlap with the compass meaning I cant see the entire compass on my screen. I thought it might have someting to do with the in game resolution but i changed it and it stayed the same. Any ideas? Here is what I am running.....

Hi mate,
I'm not sure if this can solve the issue but here are some suggestions;

mtns - OHII&HarbourAdditon_Fix_1_5a << Update to; OHII & Harbour Addition Fix v1.5b
NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_New_radio_messages_German << I suggest you disable this and run Stormy's DBSM only
NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_Real_Navigation << this should be last in the list

and check you've set the Real Nav according to the enclosed how_to_setup_real_navigation.txt file

Cheers

You can make them draggable and then you can drag them whereever you want. Use the OptionsFileEditorViewer app found in \data\Applications to do this. Look under the Officers tab.

Once you set them to draggable place the mouse just above the officer's pictures and the mouse cursor will change to 4 arrows. That means you can left click and hold and drag the item to whereever you want. When placed where you want release left mouse button.

All draggable items position data is stored in Pagex_Draggables.TDW files in your \Silent Hunter 5 folder (x = the menu page). If you ever need to reset the draggable positions for any page simply delete the Pagex_Draggables.TDW file from your \Silent Hunter 5 folder and it will be rebuilt with stock values for the item's position.

Hey TDW i just downloaded you newest one 6.9. When i go to use the Option viewer, it opens it but only shows the UI and that is it. All the way down the file. This is a pic of what i get.




I opened the menu.txt file and i also had it open the options file in the sh5 folder.

Also in the optionsfile of the new one i noticed this:
#[OPTION]
#CATEGORY=UI
#TYPE=5
#DESCRIPTION=UI style used in-game
#VALUES=SH5Enhanced,SH3Style,SH4Style
#DEFAULT=SH5Enhanced
WatchOfficerCheckForContantsOnTCxSet = True

Should that say WatchOfficerCheckGor "ContactsOnTCxSet" instead of Contants. Just wandering if it will still do what is intended?

Only other thing i forgot to include about the above option viewer, was that i used the option merge program just before i tried to view it with the app. Inside the option file i notice now that all lines say #[option] #Category=UI, could that be why it it opening as it shows in the pic?

All these new entries are correct and expected. This is how the options file editor viewer knows how to 'read' the options file.

What version options file did you merge from? It appears my merge app is not working correctly merging old options files to the new style options file

Your options file more than likely will not work correctly now. Use the base one from v6.9.0 and reset all the options from the app while I sort out this problem.

[TheDarkWraith]

v1.0.25.0 of the options file editor/viewer app released. See post #1

This new version of the OptionsEditorViewer app has the ability to update ALL SH5 files with the captain's name and uboat hull number chosen by user. To update the SH5 files with your currently set values just double click the uboat hull number option or captain's name option and simply click cancel. It will then ask if you want to update the SH5 files. When setting new values for these click the OK button and then it will ask if you want to update the SH5 files

I noticed this too but thought you may have changed it to only support the newer versions. I tried it, merging 6.7 to 6.9 and it appeared that only some of merge made it to the new version. I ended up going back through the 6.9 options file and manually making all of the desired changes.
