[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[Sbygneus]

Yes I keep my copy of SH5 on the shelf. I wait for a playable compilation in one instalation. I just cant handle all those mods any more. I am sorry for being too unskilled and blind to struggle through all forum topics. But I try to observe what is going on here and I wait patiently and full of hope.

This has been set up for ages and there is still no other version but very first ?

Im waiting also 2 years.

TheDarkWraith is working a lot developing a software to import/export and modify the GR2 files of SH5, to finish that needs a lot of time and dedication

Can anyone help me with the ship identification procedure here? I find two manuals. One is only available when the right hand charts availability is toggled on. I can't find a use for it though, as you can't really search for ships in it or transfer any information you might find to the TDC .

The other is available to all targetting devices and is activated through the weapons officer but its integral targetting procedure doesn't seem to work properly when running decks awash. It is almost completely automated yet doesn't give you details you need to set your torp depth, for example. I was doing ok with basic manual targetting in SH4 and I'm finding this even more frustrating than grinding by great invisible arse on the sea bed.

Maybe Silent Steel can give/recommend us a good and stable mod list?

First I'd like to thank Mikael (in Swedish 'tack') for having such a faith in my mod lists.


To include the new OHII v1.5 I yesterday created a new mod list that except from updating with this new version only got a few minor changes.
I don't claim this list to be perfect and I would appreciate any assistance to find faulty load order/superfluous mods
As you can see I'm addicted to SH5 in German.
I think I'm still too bad at keeping track on what older mods are getting included in new mods or new versions of various mods, sometimes this info simply isn't available.

Though, what I can say is that up to now I haven't had any whatsoever problems and haven't found any missing features or something of the kind.


Here's the list;

Looking at that is the reason I gave up till a supermod is released, finding half of these mods is a problem, then downloading if still available, then setting up files that are commonly used by other mods, setting up TDW,s UI mod etc etc!
This is all easy for those that have been with the game from the beginning but late comers like me give up after a few days of trying to get it all together!!
What is needed is a stable setup determined then using a blank folder enable each mod in the correct order editing ini files where needed (such as menu.ini, Names.cfg etc) then uses can set TDW's UI to suit themselves. This blank folder should now have only the files needed for the supermod, zip that up and release it! Even if it's not official, would be a good starting point for adding newer mods! BTW, only my opinion!

Good idea.
IF this my list wins other members' liking I'd be glad zip 'em up and upload them.
Just let us wait and see what the outcome will be.

[Reece]

Fingers crossed!! (since this is TDW's thread maybe a new one could be started)

Hey mate, this list looks pretty good to my liking, i would'nt mind giving all these mods a try, any way you could winzip it and upload it as a mega mod? Obviously the only changes i would have to make is the configuration to TDW ui's and the IRAI and maybe the radio.ini file for preffered radio station frequencies..also would it be possible to have a matching keyboard layout for controls and keyboard buttons when "F1" is pressed?


Cheers,

Ren

The biggest headache would be getting permissions to use the various mods!

[0rpheus]

MO could use an update, a lot has been done and with the DRM being dropped more people are playing than ever. But poor ol' TDW is busy with the GR2 editor, which is also really important!

Fingers crossed though, to get all of Silent's list in MO and working CTD-free alongside OHII would be brilliant!

Hi there down under

A 'mega mod' it won't be, merely a mod collection. When I find the time I'll zip them and let you know.

As for customized kbd there is one mod you could try - Jimimadrid's Keymapper
!! Make sure you read and follow the info closely !!
