[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi spitash

The TAI and Nav Map tabs have 2 patches in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer.

I agree that the speed does not show in the game.

Have you tried with just 1 patch in each Tab enabled?

It could be down to a realism setting in the game play settings when the New Career was started.

I would expect to see it on the easy setting as it only accounts to a difficulty level of 2%.

Every time I would shoot with the cannon cannon, i can't because when a wave hits the submarine, the crew abandons the cannon emplacements.
This is because the counter depth marks 8 meters below sea level, can I do something to stabilize this level and not having to order every second crew to get back to the cannon?

P.S. i'm a noob

I am not aware of a fix for the deck gun problem with the crew disappearing.
The sea does not have to be that rough for them to keep nipping off to change their socks.
It is quite understandable that the deck gun cannot be used in rough seas.

Ok, thank you; one last thing, why i no longer have the XO?

Hi Sf

Press the button near the nautical clock and you will see the XO icon there.

Hello!
Tell me how to make a transparent window first Mate orders, that would have left only the text.

Hey when i used this UI, i believe that it caused my map to no longer display the speed of the target automatically with map contact on like in the vanilla game.

Since i have huge problems finding the speed of the target, can anyone tell me how do i make it tell me the speed automatically when i hover my mouse over the target instead of having to calculate it?

Hi KF

It is very easy to find the targets speed.
Bring up the stopwatch or use a kitchen timer.
The basis is you pause the game with the map opened wide so you can see the targets bow where you place a X mark on it and un-pause the game and start the stopwatch or timer.
After 3 minutes and 15 seconds you repeat the process pausing the game again.
With the compass measure the distance from X mark to X mark.
600metres = 6 knots 1200metres = 12 knots and so on.
If using the stopwatch you can always use a bit of TC rather than using real time.

Got it thanks

And i realised that i can also do the same by taking two range readings using the stadimeter and then asking the navigator or something to calculate the speed as well :P

Anyway, it turns out that speed calculations wasnt the problem.

I was simply using the wrong angle of bow. Though that a ship on my starboard meant that the AOB was also on the starboard side when it fact it was the opposite :P

From the "Open with" dialog, scroll down till you find "Notepad". Highlight it and click OK. Notepad will open Python files for you now.




Instructions and Examples for NewUI + TDC:

This UI mod has added in more features to Silent Hunter 5 than it shipped with! Dial based TDC, convoy and single merchant contact times on the map, numerous map assists, dragable charts, "Integrated Orders" officer command bar, fully customizable UI options and key bindings. It's also constantly being updated with even more options and features.

Using this mod will completely change how you play SH5. It even has options to use the familiar SH3 or SH4 interfaces!

The following link is a video walkthrough of how to install . Because of all the options some people were getting confused about how to install it, so here ya go:

Mod Installation Video (Version 3.0.0):



Mod Features Demo Video (Version 3.0.0):



Screenshots of UI Options:







TDC Dial Options:









Optional Included Mods:









How to Change UI Styles:

First step is to find the options file to edit it. You can find the file under C:\Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter 5 \ MODS \ NewUIs_TDC_2_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith \ data \ Scripts \ Menu and the file is called TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py




Once the file is open you'll see some text like below. Just follow the instructions in blue to change to whatever style you'd like!

This is the default, SH5Enhanced style, no changes are needed:



If you wanted SH3Style:



And if you wanted SH4Style:



After making your changes, save the file, enable the mod and enjoy!

does anyone still have the file for the NewUI+TDC 3.0.0. thanks

Hi drronnie.

I've lost the plot.
What exactly are you trying to do.
