There it is... this folder should be placed in your JSGME (MODS folder) and enabled after TWoS 1.05 -main mod...



Update is update...a patch...It can't be part of the main archive, don't you think so?

I agree that this is somewhat unorthodox use of JSGME but this way even optinal mods are modded and updated automatically... Happy hunting...

Got myself a brand new PC the other day. I completely forgot to backup the save files for SH5 (and several other games)

So questions I have today for you fine gentleman and more specific to vdr1981

After reading in the enigma mod thread (which I hope will be added to TWOS) I see you stated that you are planning on updating TWOS.
What would the update be? What would you add? What would you take out (if any)

And second part of the question. Is it worth to download the current TWOS or will the new update require to start a new career and thus making the new save files I am about to make useless? Or will I be able to just update and continue from a save file where I am in the Bunker?

This is a change log so far

No. 16
- Revised/reduced Bay of Biscay air traffic, late years.
- SH5 just become a lot more geekier with famous SkyBaron's fully functional in game Enigma simulator. Very few radio messages has been encrypted so far but hopefully that will change in the future.For now, the idea is not to force the player to decipher occasional encrypted communications, but doing so player will make his "life" at least a bit easier and patrol more interesting...
- Reduced time duration requirements for secondary "Intercept convoy/TF" missions to more acceptable values in order to counteract game's inability to properly save time duration spent in designated patrol area.
- SkyBaron's hydrophone fix for slow moving ships. Now, player will be able to actually hear slow moving ships when sonarmen reports contacts.
- An optional hardcore addon for encrypted radio orders from BdU (grid patrol orders, repositions ect ).

Your gamesaves should be compatible...

Just a couple of questions Just been doing a patrol on the Northern Approaches AM6144 and after doing the required 48 hours, the reposition order didn't appear. I did the patrol again making sure I started outside of the 200 km radius but no matter how much over the 48 hours I stayed, the result was the same.

There was not a single contact to engage so not a shot was fired. So the first question is: will the patrol progress after the designated time interval if no ships are destroyed?

The second question is: is it necessary to do the Auto Save_Enter_ Base save and restart when just starting a new patrol within the campaign? Any thoughts or advice will be appreciated

Yes, because grid patrol secondary missions are only time related...You should enter designated patrol area , stay there for xxh without leaving or reloading the game and patrol assignment will become finished (green). Patrol timer will become blocked if you temporarily leave the patrol area or you reload the game during those 48 or 24 h.
To repeat the process, you should exit the designated patrol area, save/reload the game, and enter the area again...
There is a change also that particular mission of your is faulty or something...

The second question is: is it necessary to do the Auto Save_Enter_ Base save and restart when just starting a new patrol within the campaign? Any thoughts or advice will be appreciated

Save/ reload in bunker is mandatory only when you starting new campaign or new campaign chapter.

[vdr1981]

I'm uploading right now update No.16 which will feature outstanding and amassing SkyBaron's Enigma simulator together with a set of optional encrypted messages.

Check my signature for download links, install instructions and changelog...

Thanks for the info I restarted the patrol again after doing the bunker save so hopefully it will progress this time. I think I may have had a corrupted save because when I reloaded before entering the patrol area, I realized that I had made the save below decks. I think I was distracted playing with the Enigma machine!

Not sure on how you feel about the time spent in the patrol zone, but I personally would rather see the time set at 24 hours for all the patrols. The last patrol had so much happening, most of the time had to be spent at TC1 which was just about the whole day in real time to get through the 48 hours before I could save, much to the disgust of my dogs because of their late dinner.

I also find that if the weather is inclement with large waves etc, the gauges and various other items start getting artifacts and shimmering towards the end of the 48 hour patrol duration. Not sure why this happens as my computer is a mid range machine running a GTX 980 Ti Strix video card.

Been interesting getting back into SH5 and seeing all the work you guys have been putting into this game.

[kevinsue]

Great news Vecko, will this require another bunker start? I'm just about to enter the patrol area again.
You must never sleep to be able to incorporate the new Enigma mod with radio messages as well so quickly! Amazing
I may be jumping the gun but the Update 16 link still takes you to the Update 15 download.

EDIT* Just got the download...the above questions are all answered...Thanks

Hello guys!
I am just about to start a new game, but I want to start with the upgraded submarine which allow me to have a separate flack platform. How do I proceed to make that change?

Thank you very much!
