SH5 Mod Guide for Beginners

Hi
I recently bought Silent Hunter 5 Gold Edition on Uplay and have since then been trying to install mods by using JSGME
I downloaded JSGME into SH5 folder and downloaded a number of mods and extracted them to a different file i.e. my documents.
I have run the exe for JSGME and imported the mods to JSGME and activated them but none are working in the game.
I have also downloaded the guide for JSGME and have noted the example file ptth is E/Games/SHIII/MODS .
My file path reads C/UBISOFT/SH5/JSGME/MODS which I think might be wrong.
Can anyone help me get the mods working?

Your file path tells me you did not read the JSGME documentation.

Thanks for your help.I have read the guide a number of times but I am obviously missing something.What do I need to do to resolve my problem/

Hi to all.
I have sorted my problem with JSGME and have activated a number of mods which appear to be working including open horizons ii.
The new campaigns appear but when I click on any of them the start game button does not work.
Any ideas what is wrong?
Cheers Mel

Hi Mel

How do you know your mods are working if you say the start game button does not work?

Use my tutorial post #9 to post your mods list so we can see what mods you are using.

To play SH5 the first time you need to select "new career" from the main menu.

Choose a captains name or use the default.

Select your level of difficulty from the drop down box and start the game.

The game should then load the tutorial.

Hi these are my activated mods.I know open horizons is working because the new campaigns to play appear.Language pack is working as crew now speak German.Mighy fine crew is working because crew appearance has changed.
Not certain about the others
In the main menu new career does not appear anymore and to play I have to click on continue campaign

Hi Mel

Use my tutorial post #28 and you can check your mod list to see if it is enabled correctly.

This mod is normally used with TDW's NewUI 7-4-2?
NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_WWIIInterface_by_naights

You are currently using the Stock UI.

Should be placed behind Stormy's base mod.

started from scratch with new version of SH5 patched it to 1.2.0.
Downloaded JSGME again after deleting previous download activated mods in prescribed order .Getting same problem that start game button does not work .
Tried loading a save game and got a .CTD.
Tried using continue campaign and got a CTD again although this has worked previously!
Followed your instructions to check on activation of mods JSGME mod validator not in specified location.
Despite all your help I am seriously beginning to give up on the idea of moding the game.I am running the game on windows 7 do not know if this is the issue!!

Are you using the main NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2 main mod. No comment was made by you, mel24, maybe that is why the start button was a problem.

The game plays fine in Windows 7. Have you checked out the errors thread for JSGME found in my signature link? Help any?

Hi Mel

The tutorial Mod validator is for when the 7-4-2 base mod installed.

Try this download as it can be used for SH3-4-5.

Your mod list is the problem.

Use my tutorial post #23 to put mod list together or post #35.

The problem you have is that you are using bits and pieces.

Everything else sees to be ok , so do not give up.

Use my tutorials, they are there to help and stop problems happening.

Peter

Hi thanks
I intend to start my mods from scratch using your tutorials.
If it is ok with you I will post my proposed list for your approval when I have formulated it.
