is there a better readme out there on which mods to activate and in what order. its been awhile for me in the modding business and ive been bouncing and balancing work and modding SH 3, 4, and 5 as of late. i love LSH and ive installed it. im at the stage where JGSME is installed and activating mods. do i i have to patch the .exe file and do all that? i tried the PDF but it gives me a .404 error. also id like to know if TKSS18 Uboat comp will work or does anyone know of any issues working with LSH.

Hi drakkhen
All you need to know is in my tutorial signature.
Mods should be enabled in the order that you see them in JSGME
You can add Ahnenerbe wide screen mod as an addition.
You can also add the additional HSIE O2 gauges.
You cannot add any other mods.
This mega mod is a complete entity and designed to work with complete stability.

No.
The modders at LSH3 have done an excellent job as SH3Commander and the HSIE patches have all been setup for you.
If you are not making additional changes to the HSIE patches you do not even need to enable it as the default changes made in it for LSH3 automatically work.
The only downside is there is no manual for the 2015 version as there was for the original one.
The modders are German speakers and their knowledge of English is limited
This is why I decided to produce a hands on tutorial series so all basic aspects would be understandable by anyone.
LSH3 has one very unusual aspect which catches new players out after installing.
It is essential to go into the Naval Academy so it can build your V15 save game folder.
There is a basic installation manual in LSH3 covering installing and problem solving.
Included in the download are also 2 excellent PDF manuals covering SH3Commander and HSIE.

Default Possible Bug Report

English Text:
Map Marker Text Doesn't Increment...MARK D?



German Text:
Map Marker Text Behaves as Expected.



Can anyone else confirm this as a bug?

Looks like you did something wrong?
'Null' can be an error message.
'Null' something selected that is not available!
'Null' can also lockup the game meaning having to use the Esc key.

So lets go through it.
You docked in Stralsund > yes?
You gave out your rewards > yes?
You picked up the telephone to transfer > yes?
Your transfer now has to be granted > why?
Because you have just finished your first test mission in the Eprobungstelle Flotilla.
Eprobungstelle is only used for testing purposes.
You have only 1 option where to transfer to at this point.
Flotilla 2
Tutorial Post #14 pictures 10 to 15 explains how to transfer.
When you dock at any future time you can transfer to a new Flotilla at any time, in theory every patrol.
In addition to Flotilla 2 this will include Flotilla 1 and Flotilla 7.
Transferring to different Flotilla's IIRC does not include any test missions.

Quote:

Highly unlikely AFAIK there are only 2 additional compatible mods that I am aware of.
However there is only one way to find out!

Quote:

The only information I am currently aware of is what can be seen in the LSH3-2017 YouTube videos.

OK. Fixed it.

MODS > _LSH3-2015___FULLVERSION > en_menu.txt

Change "2254=MARK %D" to "2254=MARK %d"

And it behaves as expected...

Hi drakkhen
It does not sound like an install problem otherwise your game would not have loaded.
You went into the Naval Academy > Yes?
After exiting to the desk top you checked your Documents Folder and could see the V15 Save Game Folder > Yes?
When your game loaded for the very first time to the OFFICE you went straight to MAP and started the game load > Yes?
You must not go to the the Desk > U-boat management and make any changes.

Hi all

"null" means you are to early in historical game time/flot is not yet available.
In v15 u must absolve the first patrol by ERPROBUNGSSTELLE in real time means 4 days at sea.
This 4 day at sea plus the days u spend in harbor to transfere to another flotilla have to be 1 full month!
The earlyest date to start in 2.Flot have to be 1. September. Otherwise you see PQ=null.
Never play a patrol by "null", u can lost the whole career then.

Please attention this dragable "Flotilla Information Table" in the game:



(Sorry, not yet available in English)
