[REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

[Torpedo]

Hi Fifi!
I'm sorry for the questions but:
-Do you have TWoS 2.2.0 installed?
Then you should have the file "UMark.dds" 5.616 bytes in the data\Misc\ folder.
-Do you have TWoS 2.0.0 installed?
Then in the data\Misc\ folder you have the file "UMark.dds-remove" 0 bytes. This file is enabled by TWoS 2.0.0 and also by TWoS 1.0.6 which deletes the original "UMark.dds" file, so this version removes the "UMark.dds" file and you can not get the U-Mark.
To get the U-Mark with 2.0.0, after installation, you have to delete the file "UMark.dds-remove" in data\Misc\ and in the same folder you have to put the original "UMark.dds" file, if you saved it. If you can not find the original file, I can pass it, or you can use the TheBerbster mod with JSGME.
The version 2.2.0 does not contain the file "UMark.dds-remove" so no problem, but before activating 2.2.0 check that "UMark.dds-remove" is not already present in the data\Misc\ folder of SH5, in case affirmative you have to delete it and, if there is not the file, then insert the original file "UMark.dds" or use the TheBerbster's mod with JSGME and finally activate TWoS 2.2.0.

I have V2.2.9 installed fresh, that comes without any U-Mark DDS in Misc folder.
So I copied original SH5 U-Mark in Misc folder.
I don’t have any U-Mark remove DDS by the way.
Even with the U-Mark mod activated in Jsgme (coming from SH3) it’s not working.
So i suspect some setting in OFEV or in TDW Patcher that interact the U-Mark...but can’t see wich setting

of course! It was just to test some evading process and attacking process against destroyers... easier to quickly see what’s going on, on surface

I'm not aware of such settings. Umark.dds file is removed during the mod installation process and that's about it...

Hi Peter,
Nope doesn’t work.
It’s very kind of you, but i had already the stock U-mark in my misc folder
I always keep a clean vanilla SH5 on external drive, in case i need some file...

That’s why i suspect some setting somewhere in my game that is hiding this damn U-mark. She is there but i can’t see it

That’s not a big problem as in career i play real nav, but for testing few things it’s easier with it.

cheers

Has anyone tried that? I tested it a long time ago with TWOS and as soon as a torpedo hit a ship, the game crashed. Always. This did not happen with my own mod soup. I mainly want to play multiplayer and I would like to know if anyone got it to work. Any other mod soups that make the mp work and fun would also be of interest. I played my mod soup with up to 8 players in the past but after around one hour the game crashed most of time. Shorter missions were playable with lot of fun and immersion. There is nothing better than play selfmade missions with friends on teamspeak all night long.

Thank you, captains.

Each Sub's Cam data calls the UMark. IF ANY PATCH OR MOD REMOVED THIS? You will never see the UMark.
List ALL mods or patches to help sort the issue.
You can open the Cam file with S3D and see if it is listed.
DO NOT USE S3D TO EDIT THE FILES!
You'd need the updated stuff for S3D to work with SH5 then it's an unsupported option.

I remember I updated all mp missions in one of the previous updates to be compatible with TWoS changes (check changelogs). You should try again and tell us what is going on.

Also guys, does anyone play or has been playing recently Mediterranean campaigns?

I'd like to hear from you general game stability impressions regarding these two campaigns and if possible stability comparison with other regular campaign chapters.

I recently had few strange game crashes in BoM campaign but I'm not quite sure are they caused by my overmodded and broken test installation or by something else. Looking forward for your reports guys.

[Fifi]

Never reached Mediterranean campaign so far, with each career restart required for updates

But as soon as i will pass the Gibraltar strait i will report for sure...or maybe should i start a Mediterranean dedicated career? ...just to see

I don't know if this is an SH5 issue or TWOS issue but I cannot place supermarks anywhere. I understand I need to have a previous supermark or a sub mark already on the map??

Since I am using Real Nav I have no sub mark, and I don't have any previous supermarks..

I've tried zooming way out, putting random marks around, etc.. still can't place a supermark.

Am I missing something?

To end the story of my U-mark: ()

Was back in my current career, playing with real nav mod and 90% realism (just external view enable) when i attacked a nice convoy...
Submerged right in the middle of convoy, i destroyed a Cimmaron tanker and i decided to take a close look with my external camera to the tanker sinking...
You know what??
My U-mark was there!!
I broke the engagement because out of ammos, and leave the place.
Next diving, my U-mark was gone again!

Just to illustrate the unbelievable mechanics of computing
