Default Tonnage bar

This has sure been asked a million times but not really in the mood to scroll through 1000 topics so though i would ask if there has been a fix for this as it keeps not counting my kills?

The stock game cannot be fixed even when using TDW's Generic File Patcher essential SH5 application.
The Uplay game launcher is the cause of your problem and is part of your installation so cannot legally be removed.

I suggest you take a look at this which is a 100% ctd free and has over 100 mods in it.

... and if you do "Site:SubSim.com/RadioRoom SearchTerm" (caps are not necessary - note the space), you can get very specific, and narrow searches down quite a bit - sometimes too much...

You can play stock game 1.2 modded, in any case! (This stuff is a guide candidate).

From my analysis in the recent past (2018) the stock game SH5 1.2, can be played in whatever version but first must be patched with mods, then a special mod must be loaded to advance in the campaigns and to knock-out problems with U-Play or similar. This 'knock-out' is legal because only based on mods of the game that don't shut-down U-Play. The procedure is:

Install the game, if not updated already update it to v.1.2.0
Install at least these mods with JSGME to make the game functional (install in the exact order listed!):

Modlist nr.1
-------------

First, run the TDW Generic Patcher after updating to 1.2.0.

- NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_TheDarkWraith (optional; read NOTES below, read mod readmes)
- FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith (in the zip file, go to MODS and chose the folder with the same name as here)
- Torpedo Circle FIX (taken from TWoS and will replace files from the mod above whith better results)
- DeckGun Friendly Waves (for better deck gun operations in a somewhat rough sea)
- No_Damn_Bubbles_No_Damn_Halo_Mod_ADJUSTED (removes stupid crew talking bubbles and 'glaring' when you select objects or crew)
- Accurate German Flags
- Open Horizons II v.2.5 + Patch (Optional, read NOTES below, read mod readmes)
- Shooting Range - Single mission (optional; a single mission for training purpose)


NOTES:
---------

There is a mod called NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_TheDarkWraith that you can optionally load, but it gets the game so close to the megamod TWoS that it would no longer have anything to do with the stock game. If you want to use it, install it in first position in the list above, but if you like it then I urge you to play TWoS, the new UIs are included amongst other 100 things...
If you use this mod, once installed, you can browse to: [your main game folder]\data\Applications\OptionsFileEditorViewer and start this application to make precise settings for almost everything you want to change. Read the documentation in the TWoS mod about how to make changes in the OFEV (Options File Editor Viewer).
You can take all the 'Automation' files from TWoS because they are more complete, all scripts and files are located in the data\Automation folder. However the harbor pilots from TWoS will not work, instead install 'Trevally Harbour & Kiel Canal Pilot v3.1' to use harbor pilots; everything else from TWoS (attack and defense scripts) will work.

You can optionally install Open Horizons II v.2.5 + Patch (Grid Request Fix Patch SH5); it will add huge content to the stock campaign, new ships and other goodies. Read docs inside the mod folder. Note that this mod (together with the NewUIs mod) is also included in TWoS.

Modlist nr.2
-------------

Alternatively, use these mods (thank you THEBERBSTER!):

First, run the TDW Generic Patcher after updating to 1.2.0.
1 Accurate German Flags < optional if added not fix
2 NDB,NDH OM#1 - No Dialog Indicator < optional if added not fix (instead use the No_Damn_Bubbles_No_Damn_Halo_Mod_ADJUSTED)
3 Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
4 Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
5 #Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix
6 Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_(available by date) V9 by sober
7 EUF_UBoat_FX_v0_0_3_ byTheBeast
8 FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith
9 FX_Update_0_0_22_Torpedoes (modified for torpedoes failure patches)
10 FXU_0_0_22_Ship zon Files
11 NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith < optional if added or 7-4-2 not fix
12 IRAI_0_0_41_ByTheDarkWraith
13 R.E.M_by_Xrundel_TheBeast_1.2
14 R.E.M_by_Xrundel_TheBeast_1.2 - no hyd on surface - NewUIs-IRAI compatible
15.Open Horizons II v2.5 < optional if added not fix
16Change Days In Bunker < optional if added not fix
-------------------

Now, are you done and can play? Not exactly yet. With the first modlist above you can now play with or without the 'Tonnage Bar' to keep mostly to the original game, but then you must use a special mod to advance in the campaigns, if you don't use it the game will crash at the end of your campaign chapter. To avoid this, do this:


Get the mod 'OHII v2.5 - No Stupid Tonnage Bar_Free Style Campaign v0.1_NewUIs v7.5.0'. It's a mod which has included 'campaign.cfg' for all possible campaign chapters.

If you install the entire mod, you eliminate the tonnage bar and will always advance in the campaigns without crashes. If you only use the 'campaing.cfg' files from this mod (see the 3 steps to do here below), then you will play *with* the tonnage bar but still you avoid crashes and you will advance in the campaign. The choice is yours. If you want to play 'original' ,with the tonnage bar, you must do this:


------------------------------------
Everytime you are about 1-2 days before your in-game campaign will end, you should be in open sea heading towards the bunker, but do not enter the bunker.

1. -- You save your game, you exit to main menu, you ALT-TAB out to Windows (it's not necessary to exit SH5).

2.-- You go in the special mod folder for 'campaign.cfg' of your current campaign chapter, select the file and copy it.

3.-- Navigate to your last savegame, go into the folder Campaign_xxxx_xx_xx_xxxx and paste your copied file, allow overwrite.
------------------------------------

That's it, you go back to SH5, reload the last save, and use TC until you see the Campaign transfer window with war results etc. Close this window and you will be at the general campaign selection window, where you can select the next campaign chapter.

That's the dance so far to play the stock game correctly, with maybe some additional mods added to fit the player's taste, however the mods above should be installed if you want a functional sub sim.
Do a lot of people know all this? I doubt

But better do what other 'common' players do: Forget all this, and if you want to enjoy the maximum of SH5, then install the TWoS mod over the patched 1.2 stockgame, the additions are too numerous to mention, the megamod turns SH5 into a very realistic sub sim. Read the TWoS section for more details.

Happy Hunting...
