Would you say that the game is pretty hard now with my collection of mods ?

I would say yes, it's definitely is. And it's not only AI (which is a pain), but also the waves, the inability to do much if you out of torps and in a bad weather... Many little things that bring it more to reality.

There are still things that I'm trying to play around with and haven't really seen much action yet (still haven't gotten out of 1939)..

There are, however, couple of things that I was worried about. Not sure if it's intended by OHII or it was my own computer bugged..

Default Where's my crew?

I have never really played this game much, but it has always fascinated me. So I dove in a few days ago to see if I could get it running. Wow. My hats off to all of you who have devoted countless hours with the mods, they are awesome! Although I am not sure that I have yet done them justice.

I will spare you details of all the instances where I bumped my head (foolishly), simply since most problems were in acclimating myself to the large amount of information related to the mods. But I do have one issue to bring up, and another hoping that I missed an easy tweak needed to get my UI functional.

I have Sober's mega mod list installed (15/11/2012), with one exception. When I fire up this list, and go into the mission briefing, there is clearly something wrong with the graphical map layout. I have no access to the either the 'Replay' or 'Skip' buttons at the top of the screen, and, there is no access to mission details in the upper left corner. So, (pardon the pun) I am dead in the water. After I had ruled out installation corruption, I started testing various iterations with the mod list, and found that my problem was with:

IO_StrategicMap_4_7_for_TDWv710

I assumed that that was some tweak for this mod. Failing to find one, I was able to resolve the issue by installing a earlier version.

Question #1

Can I still use the above mentioned Map Mod? Any known issues that I have missed?

Now I can get through the briefing, and request a patrol. But, what is still keeping me in the pen appears to be the lack of a crew interface at the bottom of the screen. I assume that this is some newbie tweak that I overlooked, but I had never had access to this feature in any of the installation iterations that I worked with. Help!

Question #2

How do I get the crew controls to appear at the bottom of the screen?

Id say so for me, but hard in that Im not used to it, I wish there was a better key map to see what each key does or an easier way to edit it because the F1 just doesnt show everything and somethings are placed wrong, I find myself hitting other thing.

Another thing I think would be easier is if the officer icons and their sub icons were scaled up just a TAD bit, to the size of the SH3 IO icons. But thats just me, all in all great so far!

Hey Sober;

Thanks for the quick reply. My thinking here is that there is something affecting my graphics card. Do you, or anyone, know of any issues with Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti?

The driver is up to date.

Uncle

More like the mods havnt been installed correctly . You didnt enable New UI TDWv720 as it was extracted i hope . You have to look inside the folders to find the mods . A lot of things in there you dont enable .

Im just stubborn and used to how I played on GWX, I knew where all the keys were for Crash Dive and blow ballast, full speed, silent running, etc etc. and I knew all the paths to get to exactly what I wanted. I think I just need to get used to it :P
