Hello friends of the submarine Sims,

That I had some time in the last few days I started looking at the code of the SH5 after years.

It came out then currently first my German translation for The Wolves of Steel Ver 2.2.3 I want to offer you here!

The mod is JSGME compatible, d. H. you just have to unpack my RAR file (best always use the latest version of WinRar) in the mod sub folder "TWoS_Parts" from the SH5 game folder then my mod will be displayed in the Generic Mod Enabler.

Thanks for your work!

Enable the add-on prior your campaign start

I think this is very important, or? Maybe you post this in a good visible colour in your first post, so that this mod will be fun and will not cause problems in the ongoing campaign.

Actually, the German Language Mod would have to be able to activate at any time (before the start of the campaign, in the harbor, in the sea). I just wrote before Campaign start to avoid possible errors or crashes.

My mod actually translates everything except the radio traffic. Then there are some original false names in the centrale (command room) below the instruments. The signs on the e-machine are originally named wrong. But for these little mistakes I have not found the original files in which these text entries are.


thank you for your hint

Activating the mod between an ongoing campaign crashes the Crew-Skills. Just tested this again (while on sea), this happend also in the past in later german versions while activating the mods while an ongoing campaign.

Generally its great when again someone new creates a german mod version (you sure know we still got here a thread in the german forum here on subsim) but in the past there was often the same problem, that the mods have not been updatet for the actuall TWoS versions and after some months it was necessary to switch again to the english versions which feels then very frustating if you got used to the german versions.

OK within the campaign may be that the mod crashes. I only tested the campaign in 5 minutes. But in order to prevent such problems, I said yes, it is best to activate before starting. Did you also see :-). Next comes the days before Easter first time a completely revised ship smoke mod for all TWoS ships. Must only speak with VDR1981 that he can install my mods from me like in TWoS, if there is interest from the community and he would like to do so.

a completely revised ship smoke mod

Ahh, interesting! You mean a ship smoke which has no breaks? Would be great, there is still a fix for that by another modder but when i remember right, Vecko said that this mod could cause ctd.
Can you fix that? When yes pls take your time if its stable, 5min should be not enough.

(google auto translate(mmy english not good)
So there is a smoke mod from Hansolo78 but the particles_funnelsmoke.dat from HanSolo has an ID used by the TWoS mod in the particles.dat too. two times the same Id = can CtD. I only adjusted the smoke for all TWoS ships and I took the particles_funnelsmoke.dat from TwoS where the conflict is gone. So no really big mod my new funel Smoke mod.

Of the smoke bug I did not know until just now, but I was also noticed when testing the columns of smoke that the smoke briefly suspends before he starts over. Right now I am working on the program code of Silent Hunter.

Have some time in the next few weeks and I thought I could do something for the great community here, which one or other submarine Sim fans find useful.

From about ~2003-2009 I was actually in all, especially German-speaking, SH3 forums on the road, u.a. in the Ubisoft Forum, Silent Hunter III Forum, Marinesims Forum and here. Had in this time u.a. Mods made for SH3 ...

because of my bad english here but only member and no modder, today there is a useful google translate

I tested your mod briefly waldwolf1967 and I need to point out to few problems...

- Compatibility with Real Navigation addon has to be resolved somehow because this addon uses it's own Menu.txt file which is not exactly the same like stock TWOS Menu.txt.
- The mod will destroy/remove U-flak equipment/flak guns.
- Compatibility wit Encrypted BdU Orders add-on?

Other than that, the amount of work is simply amassing and the translation looks really good...

Keep up the good work!
