This was made originally for my own use but since, every day here, i can see the frustation of many new users or new backcomers (like it was my case) asking for help, i decided to share it with the only purpose of saving a lot of their time and effort looking for the mods here and at the same time to serve like a guide in case you want to build your own MegaMod. Also to have a new thread here where we can share our "findings" of what mod is better and why. So we all can learn a bit more every day. I´ll be happy if i get it.

This is a compilation of the most up to date mods you can find here in subsim. ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE AUTHORS OF THE MODS (all Readme are included so you can see who is the author). What i did was just spent hundreds of hours (like everybody else with SH5) "tunning" the mod soup.

MyMegaMod is made of seven parts. I decided this after check that this way is a lot more flexible in many ways, as you will see. Also is easier to update if some new mod apear or if there is an upgrade of an existing one. Besides that, each part would be independient from the others, this way you can install only the parts you want.

As TheDarkWraith said in his thread of "Magnum Opus" (which was my first inspiration):
"Realize that I have to edit some of these mods to make them compatible with the others. I also have edited some of them to my liking thus they may appear just slightly different from their stand-alone mod." So is not a matter of copy one mod after another to make a "one big mod".

For intallation notes see post 2

OPTIONAL MODS that "you" can enable last

- "My Sub VIIC41 for OHII v1.7 v0.5"
- "Manos Scope patch" for your screen resolution
- "No Magic Skills MMM v0.5 compatible"
- "sobers see thru wake fix"

================================================== ========================

This is a BETA version, so i want your feedback, comments and suggestions. If i left some nice mod behind, if something you think is in the wrong order, etc..
!! Let´s try to make between all of us, and specially the great "gurus" here, a better game !!

And of course i have to wait the permit of the authors to include their mods in this compilation. (Last thing i want to do is to annoy someone here).

Kind Regards
Pedro

[pedrobas]

SOME IMPORTANT NOTES for install this: YOU HAVE TO BE PATCHED TO v1.2 OF THE GAME!!!

1- Best to do is to reinstall the game, to have a "clean" copy. Many of the problems i see here in the forum may be for corrupted files "left over" after so many "mods soup" reordering. I want to say that i had that problem and didn´t knew. I had the "grey sky" problem in Dynamic evironment and tried everything to solve it with no luck. So, since everything else looked to work properly i decided to reinstall the game to start from the beginning and... voila, no more blue sky, that made the trick. And since then i have a 99% "stable" SH5, ...no more CTDs.(fingers crossed).

2- My game is installed in English with voices in German. You need the voices in German for Stormfly´s mods to work, (MyMegaMod p4 - Enhance SOUNDS). So, if you reinstall the game use that configuration, if not, you will have to use the "German U-Boat Crew Language Pack" and enable before "MyMegaMod p3 - tdw UI" because in this i´ve used "Speech fixes and additions (german version)" .See thread here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=164552

3- To fix the Hydrophone you need to Patch the SH5.exe file using " TDW_SH5_patcher v1.0.21".
- See How to do it: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=7773
- to learn more about this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...39&postcount=1
- Warning! see this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...42&postcount=9

4- Patch the SH5.exe file to be able to use more of 2 GB, (the 4GB patch). See how here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=717

5- Install JSGME
- See How to do it: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=163447

6- Unrar the files whereever you want and copy them to the MODS folder just created by JSGME

7- Enable Mod parts + Optionals. => in the right order, see below for an example

8- To check that every part is ok just load p1 and try to Start a "New Carrier", skip the tutorial. Notice that the first time you load the bunker, no options for equipment are available, you have to save game and load it again to make it work, the sub then appears from underwater and you can proceed. If it works ok exit game, load p1+p2 and do the same. If ok oad p1+p2+p3 and so on. After enable p5 you have to know what is said in the OHII thread: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=189818

IMPORTANT NOTES (from OHII thread)

Starting New Career
Just click "New Campaign" - enter your name and select the first campaign "Baltic Operations". Skip the tutorial.

When starting a new campaign using OHII - DO NOT PLAY THE TUTORIAL - you will get a ctd when returing to Kiel at the end of the tut. Select "Skip Tutorial" when starting.
If you are not getting an option to skip the tutorial when starting a new career, go to Documents\SH5\data\cfg\CareerHistory.cfg and edit the file with Notepad. Change the following line:

HasCompletedTutorial=false
with
HasCompletedTutorial=true

9- Please to check what is explained in number 8 don´t use optional mods, and start new carrier every time.
If all toghether work ok you can start to add your optional mods in the right order. My advise: add only one optional mod each time. This way if something goes wrong you will know where the problem comes from. Good luck.

10- For Keyboard conflicts please read http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=118
Best tool to change commands.cfg : http://174.123.69.202/~subsimc/radio...d.php?t=168297

11- If after a CTD you´re having problems to reload your save game try this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=209

12- The OPTIONAL MODS described in post 1 are the only one that have been tested to asure compatibility. I can´t and I won´t give support for other combinations, so it´s up to you to use others, you do it at your own risk.

Please report your feedback, comments and suggestions.

Hi, thanks for investing so much time testing mods.

it would be fine if you could post your system spec`s also...

...i see you have SDBSM`s additional crew sounds beta in use, did you saw any short crew animation interrupts and or warpings together with crew chat sound sample interrupt then (just some random interrupt`s of the current playing crew animation and chat sound sample until the next chat is triggered then)

...do you use a mod for a more real surfaced boat hight (lower profile), pitch and role behavior ? (i have a fine tuned personal special version customized by Stoianm here, it maybe need to be merged with TDW`s revisions for KZS Hull wetness for U-Boats + co tower and deck.)

...there should be an option for "Naights Submaine Textures (internal)", this interrior mod is next to Steel Vikings the most used one.

...plz note that "06 - Dynamic Environment SH5 Sounds V2.1" use only 2 channel inviroment sounds, they overwrite some SDBSM`s quatrophonic enviroment sounds. It`s of course only noticeable if you use more than 3 speakers. (i wanted to help Stoianm making his new enviroment sounds also quatrophonic but didnt have the time atm. )

...also "05 - Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 optional NavMap babelling" is not loved by all, should be optional.

[limkol]

Great work
I agree with Stormfly regarding Naight's Submarine textures internal. Many Nvidia card users (including myself) have had problems with flat yellow internal lights. I have also had problems with Sober's See Thru Wake Fix.
It would also be nice to have Stoianm's Pitch and Roll.
Congratulations and thanks for the amount of work you have put into this compilation.

[Magic1111]

WOW, very nice!!!

I´m looking forward to an release of your great MOD-Compilation!

Best regards,
Magic

Hi pedrobas

I am not sure but I think that Part 2 / 4 - NOZAURIO'S SKIN (Standar No Emblem) v-1.0.0 is already included in Part 6 / 04 - Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4 +patch + hotfix_byTheBeast

[TBear]

[Txema]

Very nice work, pedrobas !

Thank you !

Gracias !!


Txema

[pedrobas]

Thank you very much for your suggestions and information Stormfly, that´s exactly want i was expecting. Specially when they come from "the author"of the mod, and in this case one of the "must have" mods of the compilation.

No, and is one of the mods i wanted to ask to the people for. I was a little bit confused about what is the best here. So if you´re so kind you could you send it to me?.

Added like OPTIONAL in part 2

Yes but I´ve removed it from "Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4 +patch + hotfix_byTheBeast" so it´s only in part 2

Thanks for comment.
