When I want to move a supermark to another position by using the 'C' key I'm constantly sent to 'Crash Dive'.
I don't know if I have to but if I have to change the 'Crash Dive' command in the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\Commands.cfg and not in the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py. - how could this be done?
In the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\Commands.cfg this key is defined like this;

[Cmd201]
Name=Crash_dive
Contexts=1
MnID=0x3F230002
StringID=1035
Key0=0x43,C,"C"
HasDelayedExecution=Yes
CommandClass=Depth
;Sound_0=ELO_Helm,MC_CR_CHIEF_33

//

You have to change the Key0= statement. Using window's character map you can find the hex value of the key you want to use. Let's say you want to use L. Then open up window's character map and click on L. In the bottom left of the character map you'll see: U+004C. This means Unicode + 0x004C. All you need is the 0x4C part. Then your Key0= statement would be: Key0=0x4C,C,"L"
Note: the ,C, means it's executed by the crew

I see no other mod that can cause the camera to turn on a side in such a wild angle. This usually happens when Im returning from the external camera. Any idea what causing this and if it can be fixed?

@Those guys who have problems with running NewUi mods (<throughout to desktop when loading to main menu>) v.6.5.x-6.6.x.

After many useless attempts to figure out the reason-error and to fix it I've solved this problem radically by saying "goodbye" to WinXP and installing Win7 Prof. Now everything works fine:up:
So the problem was in my XP SP3 OS, which couldn't "accept" the 'boolean method' applied by TDW starting with NewUI v.6.5.x. in UserOptions.py section

May be this problem and some others (non-clickable icons, system-error reports, etc.) occured because my WinXP SP3 version was not updated for a couple of years (probably non-licenced system CD with automatically update malfuction).
So I can highly recommend the others fellows having the same problem with the mod first of all to try to install the latest WinXP updates. If this doesn't work - to follow my experience or, at least, to install Win7 as an optional OS without deleting WinXP (if U need the last too much:)) :yep:
Otherwise just use NewUI 6.4.0. (worked stable in my case), may be 6.5.0, but this should be the limit.

P.s. much appreciated to TDW for his help in investigating the problem:salute::salute::salute: and for mod-making :yeah:

Enable the speech recognition mod then click the microphone icon in the top right lower bar. This will bring up the speech recognition settings :up: As for why your mic volume level is always reset I have no clue. I don't have control nor did I make the speech recognition mod.

As you know I am using MO with NewUis_TDC. I am having a problem figuring out how to get the weapons officer to get solutions for me. In the game main menu I have the box unchecked where it says Manual targeting. In the user options I have it set up like this.

##################################### XO TDC Dialog box (SH3/4/5 modes) ###################################
# is the XO and his dialog box visible on the UZO, attack, and obs scopes views?
# change below to either True or False
XOTDCDialogEnabled = False

# if the XO and his dialog box are disabled, are they allowed to pop up when you lock onto a target?
# change below to either True or False
XOTDCDialogAllowedToPop = False

# Is the XO TDC dialog box draggable?
# If the XO TDC dialog box is draggable then the feature of the XO TDC dialog box dynamically repositioning
# based on messagebox visibility is disabled.
# change below to either True or False
XOTDCDialogDraggable = False

# is manual targeting enforced? If True then the option to 'Turn TDC Off' is disabled and not visible
# change below to either True or False
XOTDCManualTargetingEnforced = FalseI like how everything is working but when I click on weapons officer to get a solution he only get AOB and Range I think. Speed is always at 0. If I click on the red button and maually put a speed in, when I hit the button again it goes back to 0 not keeping my speed I just entered. Of course my torpedos are always going behind target. Is this a bug or did I miss something in options file?

I really dont want the weapons officer dialog at all, as seen above

Tried installing this over MO as I was told some newer mods need the latest UI's mod to run.. but the default install seems to remove all map contacts etc (unlike the older version in MO, which defaults to the Enhanced SH5 UI but leaves all the assists on), so I removed it.

I assume this is configurable but there are so many different mods in this pack I don't know where to start, guessing a config file somewhere? I'm not skilled enough for real nav or no map contacts.

Also, might I politely suggest including a readme that explains the difference between, for example your standard New UIs with TDC and the 'Das Boot Crew Mod' or 'ERM Reaper Night Vision'? I opened the file and immediately closed it as I have no clue what any of these do or how they differ from the standard mod.

I love all these potential options but without proper documentation it just adds to the confusion. Great work though. :)

mia389

07-28-11, 11:22 AM

I dont think the the default setup removes contact updates. The options file is located below as described in first post.

All user configurable settings can be found in the file '\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_6_0_TheDarkWraith\data\Scripts \Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py'. NOTE: When editing this file ensure you save the file as Unicode encoding in order for non-ANSI characters to be displayed in game!

That's what I thought, maybe I did something wrong. Tbh there are so many variations of this, as well as the ones in MO that I just can't keep up. Really wish MO would be updated to include the latest version as that would probably make life a lot easier! :DL

What is the 'integrated chalkboard mod'? Is this in the style of Das Boot, chalking up each DC dropped? If so, where can I find/enable it, as I don't seem to be able to see a chalkboard anywhere in the sub? It would be cool to be able to say 'I escaped xx depth charges on that run' :D

You have to set up a keyboard shortcut for the chalkboard. You may do this by editing the TDW user settings file in the scripts folder.

I have mine set up so that shift+b toggles the chalkboard and shift+n increases the chalk count.

TDW,

Without stepping on any toes, I would like to suggest that the next release of your UI include a transportation hotkey for the captain's bed. I'm a laid back Kaluen and i like to command the ship while reclined :cool:

Seriously though, it's a station that i think has merit. Especially when you're on the bridge and you just need to get below deck in order to submerge the boat.

Teleporting to the radar/radio station or sonar station fulfills that need to get below deck fast to submerge or correctly start some automation that requires you to be below deck to work correctly. Key shortcuts for these teleporting commands can easily be defined in useroptions.py.:yep:

TheDarkWraith

08-04-11, 09:42 PM

After months and months of trying to get the snorkel working I have finally succeeded :rock:

Even though it says engage electric engines the diesels were running at ahead flank @ 11m depth :D
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=414&pictureid=4640

I lowered the snorkel and the diesels shutdown and speed went back to ahead flank for submerged depth:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=414&pictureid=4641

This was one way to make it work and not the preferred way. Now I'm going to make a new GR2 file for the snorkel and see what happens......

TDW, i swear this is a true story:

I was playing tonite, looking at the engineers control buttons and noticed the greyed out raise/lower snorkel buttons. This got me thinking about how far you have come, and how rewarding it must be for you to take the game to new levels ect. I thought to myself "Man, TDW, I just know it, one day he will get that snorkel working, and when he does, it will be a great feeling for him."

I imagined myself as you, and how happy I would be if i could do something like that for this game and community.

This is borderline paranormal/psychic that I would log on just an hour after thinking about that and, here it is!

EDIT: I know its WIP, but dont forget to place the snorkel in the correct place on the boat. AFAIK it does not come out of the conning tower.

08-04-11, 10:34 PM

It seems I was wrong, there was 2 types of snorkel, a hinged version (first draft) that was powerd by hydraulics, and sat on the deck when unhinged, and a later version which was used in place of one of the periscopes.

http://www.uboataces.com/snorkel.shtml

I can't get the hinged one to work correctly. The telescopic one I can get to work as I want. I don't have to replace one of the periscopes either. What I'm going to do is place the telescopic one where the hinged one would be and it won't be visible when retracted (it will sink under the deck). Or should I have it just barely sticking out of the deck :hmmm:

mobucks

08-04-11, 10:44 PM

barely sticking out seems like the best compromise.

TheDarkWraith

08-04-11, 11:14 PM

Houston we have a problem: the size of this telescopic snorkel is HUGE! If I place it where the hinged snorkel should be then the bottom half is sticking out the bottom of the sub. It's going to have to be placed in the turm. I'm going to place it on the left side of the turm at the very front just left of XO. It's about the best I can do. I'll post screenie here soon.

TheDarkWraith

08-05-11, 12:18 AM

This is the best place to put the snorkel. It's not sticking out of the top of the turm that much and it's barely sticking out of the side of the bottom of the boat:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=4647

With it extended you can go to ~15m depth and run diesels (in calm water - small waves) :D

Where is the exhaust port on this sucker? I have to add smoke exhaust to it! Also have to add water splash from it cutting through the water.

Should I move it back (towards rear of the sub) more?

mobucks

08-05-11, 01:34 AM

Here is an excellent picture of the placement on the VIIC. It would be outside the conning tower, but some of the plumbing was built next to it, not part of the hinge system (telescope was only used on IX subs.) therefore, you could in theory have a compromise of having much of the snorkel outside the boat, next to the conning tower, at a height roughly where you show in your screenshot.

http://storeagemsw.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/fgtsnk.jpg

From that link. Im guessing the vents are not moddled. Speaking of which, is there a possiblility of modifying the 3D model for this snorkel? This could solve some of your problems, ie, make it shorter/smaller.

Originally German designers experimented with the idea of dispersing exhaust gases through underwater vents, so as to prevent smoke buildup which could be spotted visually. This idea was later dropped as the visibility of exhaust gases was considered too minute to justify serious development. As such, exhaust gases were simply expelled from small vents at the top of the snorkel head.
Two types of valves were used. The first was a ball float and later in 1945, it was replaced with a ring float. Both functioned in a similar concept. When above sea water, gravity would pull the float down, opening the valve above. When submerged, the positive buoyancy of the float pressed against the valve above, shutting it. When the snorkel was in its stowed position, the valves would open automatically so as to flood the tube.

Also, a video giving an idea where/how much exhaust/spray occured:

Have added snorkel to all player's subs (VIIA, VIIB, VIIC, and VIIC41). Just figured out how to make it 'visible' to enemy so that when raised it can be spotted by them :D Have to add exhaust smoke and water splash to it now. Once those added I'll send to some for testing. What starting month/year is the snorkel supposed to be available? Is this different for each type of sub? If so, please give me dates for each sub.

Hello TDW, the first schnorkels were installed on training vessels U-57 an U-58 (IIC). In September 1943, U-236, a type VIIC, was the first combat U-Boat to receive the schnorkel. A new type of schnorkel was installed on U-235 and U-237 (VIIC) in a well in the deck casing fore of the conning tower.

In 1944/45 was schnorkel equiped with "Bali", "Naxos" and "Athos".

For VIIC-type:
Max speed with e-motor and snorkeling = 6 kn (vibration problem of the snorkel)
Max speed with diesel-motor and snorkeling = 9 - 10.5 kn (vibration problems)
First appearance of the snorkel: Sept 1943 and without any radar-addon
Depth of u-boot when snorkeling: ca. 16m
No hydrophone-ability when snorkeling and motors are on.

Where is this highlighted yellow information?
The rest looks accurate compared to my research.
All i read last night was, max 6 kts submerged to prevent snapping off the tube.

We can run our boats about 9kts submerged with periscope clear as day in SH5, which is not realistic from what I read, (vibration interference) so I dont see any reason to go for complete realism on this, unless some hardcore history buff modder comes along and wants to try to make it realistic.

vlad29

08-05-11, 10:29 PM

Also, a video giving an idea where/how much exhaust/spray occured:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt34jt1PIV0

On this video it is positioned right before the tower closer to the left side, and fixed to the tower when rised/installed before submerging. So there possibly were different variants of where to install it, depending upon base facilities, workers skill and u-boat captains wishes I guess.

How about the idea of removing one of the periscopes (obs. scope for example) and to replace it with telescopic snorkel (if hinged is not possible to merge in game) when this upgrade option is chosen? And then to use the same interface buttons as for obs.scope interface buttons to rise/hide it?

That should be more realistic I think.

When I was searching for the years the snorkel came out, I seen it said max under water speed was 9 knots due to pressure on the snorkel.

I will limit the speed of the uboat when snorkel is raised. This can only be accomplished with those using my UIs mod. I will also limit the speed when a periscope is raised.

Just a little more work to do on the snorkel and it should be ready for testing.

Thus it has been placed in the conn just to the left and a little back of the XO. Yes it's not accurate but have to work with what we have. It's better than nothing that's for sure. I'll continue working on it trying to get a hinged snorkel to work.

Where is this highlighted yellow information?

I reread the text-passage

max speed when snorkeling with electic-motor <= 6 kn
max speed when snorkeling with diesel-engine <= 9 - 10.5 kn

... and the above specification was given for a XXI-U-boot, not for the VIIC-type & variants.

right now editing v6.7.0 to incorporate my Uboat_Snorkel mod and to allow the UI to control it better. Making provisions where speed is checked if periscope or snorkel is raised and if speed > max speed allowed then speed it set to max speed allowed. Also setting up the ability to auto-recharge batteries when snorkel raised (via user option)

:DL Thank you A LOT :woot: TheDarkWraith :yeah:

Auto-recharging of batteries when snorkel is raised (and conditions are correct) has been coded and working great :yeah: This auto-recharging in enabled by default in the options file.

The limiting speed to a specified max speed when snorkel is raised (and you are submerged) has been coded and is working great :yeah: Max speed is specified in options file

I still have to figure out how I want to limit speed based on whether a periscope is extended. Problem is getting the periscope's current height. This feature will not make it in v6.7.0

Lots of debug code added for the torp doors to hopefully catch the error that some users get of torp door disabled when it shouldn't be

My Uboat snorkel mod has been incorporated into v6.7.0

The CO2 level still increases when snorkel is raised. This is game bug that will take digging into .exe and .act files to fix. Will take time to do.

All that's left to do is package it up and upload :DL

Change log for v6.7.0:
v6.7.0 - fixed bug in radio messages where if TC 1 on new radio message was enabled sound would sometimes not be played
- fixed bug of campaign radio messages sometimes not being read in at game start
- fixed some logic problems with the command buttons in the Automation page
- Added a new command button to Automation's commands: save started currently activated scripts. When pressed it will save the started currently activated scripts to file. Upon game start it will read this file and if any previously activated scripts are found it will automatically start them
- folder structure for radio message sounds changed so that mod can pick a random sound from available sounds in folders
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the dive button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (DiveTeleportToStation)
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the periscope depth button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (PeriscopeDepthTeleportToStation)
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the snorkel depth button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (SnorkelDepthTeleportToStation)
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the emergency surface button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (EmergencySurfaceTeleportToStation)
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the surface button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (SurfaceDepthTeleportToStation)
- Automation's Navigate_from_file command now let's you resume navigation from a close waypoint if waypoint_resume > 0. waypoint_resume is defined in the .SHN file as a new header
- Automation's Navigate_from_file command now let's you define bufferzones around the sub. These bufferzones are used to detect units. If a unit crosses a bufferzone then the command will take action based on settings in the .SHN file
- Automation's Navigate_from_file command now let's you specify the radius of the waypoints (precision and non-precision). When this radius is reached the next waypoint will be ordered up
- Radio messages updated to include columns for sound type to play and volume level of the sound to play. Currently applies only to regular radio messages (not campaign radio messages)
- Incorporated my Uboat_Snorkel mod into this one (all uboat's snorkels are enabled by default)
- Sub's snorkel depth changed to 14.0m from 10.0m
- added missing countries to \data\Roster\Names.cfg's [Countries] header brought to my attention by Ruby2000
- added a new user option that controls whether battery recharge mode is ordered up when the snorkel is raised (and conditions are right for snorkeling). Default value is True (enabled) (AutomaticallyOrderRechargeModeWhenSnorkeling)
- added a new user option that specifies the maximum speed allowed underwater when snorkel is raised. Default value is 10.0knots (GetMaxSpeedWhenSnorkelRaised)
- added lots of debug code for the torp doors to help catch the error that sometimes the torp door is disabled when it shouldn't be

Actually in special abilities there is an ability CO2LevelIncreaseRate
You could have it as a minus value i think . Ask the motor officer to turn vents on snorkel . Just another way around it maybe .

Sure I saw this mentioned somewhere at subsim recently but can't find it for the life of me - is the torpedo man's passive speed/damage ability fixed in this mod (or MO)? I see the guy has 'extra damage/range' with either this or MO so guessing you just changed the ability so it couldn't cause the problem?

Sub flags is not incorporated in this mod. Only the SDL entries are incorporated into it for compatibility purposes. So yes, you still need the standalone sub flags mod if you want flags on your turm.

A little warning when using the snorkel: The maps will NOT show you the warning circle for visual range or radar range when the snorkel is raised and the periscopes are down and you are submerged. Thus you have no way of knowing whether the enemy has detected you or not visually or with radar. It's best to stay as deep as possible thus limiting the amount of the snorkel exposed above water to limit detection. The further the snorkel raises up above the water the more likely the enemy will detect you. If you raise a periscope just above the water you'll be able to see the visual detection circle (if you have it enabled in the map options) to see how close you are to being detected with the snorkel raised.

Your biggest problem will be airplanes. As you get no hydrophone contact line for them you have absolutely no way of knowing when an aircraft detected you and is beginning an attack run until after the fact (snorkel raised and periscopes down while submerged). Suggestion: rise to periscope depth and scan horizon frequently for airplanes while snorkeling.

Sweet thanks!:yeah: Stupid me! I guess thats why your readme says real nav to be installed last. Quote from readme "Step 6: re-enable NewUIs_TDC_x_x_x_Real_Navigation LAST in JSGME. This has to be the last mod enabled in JSGME!

One thing I do try to keep updated is my documentation on my mods. Usually from the text write up you can find what you're looking for and if not it's usually found in the release notes (I try to ensure to document every change from version to version as it helps me with troubleshooting problems). If you find any documentation errors or you have suggestions on how to improve the documentation please don't hesitate to share with me :up:

@ TDW, I'm having the Silent Hunter V has stopped working thing, here's the debug output:

What does it say is the faulting module when it tells you Silent Hunter V has stopped working? When you are starting the new campaign and the campaign selection screen is shown are you using silentotto? If so, which campaign are you choosing? If not, are you skipping the tutorial mission or doing it?

You are missing an entry that should always appear when the campaign selection screen is shown:
[3052] Start Campaign Screen
this entry always appear right after [3052] Menu InitializeScript when starting a new campaign

Thanks for getting back to me TDW, I am loading my ongoing campaign, not starting a fresh one; I did try loading a single mission and that seemed to fire up ok, so it seems to be when starting a saved game... will try again and see what the message that comes up says....

Thanks again

Kentrat

08-08-11, 09:03 AM

Back again TDW, I have successfully started new campaigns both with and without silentotto and here's the entry you mentioned:

00000253 69.33457947 [1908] TDWMouse constructor
00000254 69.66361237 [1908] Page main InitializeScript

00000259 492.97311401 [1908] Page layout InitializeScript

so the problem is specifically loading previous saves; I reloaded my previous profile with 6_6_0 and they work with that; I also created a 6_7_0 test profile with exactly the same loadout/order and no joy loading the saves so it does seem to be a 6_7_0 change that is the issue.....

I used the migrater and copied my custom menu.txt with latest changes copied from yours.

I think it's because of the snorkel. This is a new item added to the sub and thus isn't found in the old saves. Try editing the sub's .sns file and commenting out the O04 entry (comment out the entire thing). You might also have to remove the \data\Objects\Sensors\Uboat_Sensors.GR2, .sim, and .fx files from the mod.

Kentrat

08-08-11, 10:17 AM

Thanks TDW you are a star! I commented out the snorkel entry in the 7a and the saves now load again;

If i just edit the 7a hopefully when I trade up to the 7b or 7c I will then be able to snorkel properly - what do you think?

Then I will re-edit the .sns to reactivate the snorkel for future careers- does that make good sense?

Just wondering if there are any mods I can eliminate from the loadout in my earlier post and if the order is correct-do you see any that are superfluous?

Cheers again!

@ Kentrat

Looking at your mod list, I see you use the newest UI 6.7.0. The Trevally Automation mods in your list, however, are old, and especially the Harbour pilot mod must be newest version 2.8 in order to work right with UI 6.7.0. I had the previous version 2.6, and with the old pilot my boat rammed the quay all the time. Changes in UI 6.7.0 require use of Trevally's new version.
Latest version for Trevally Auto Scripts is 0.6.

The way you packaged the mod, within the new_ui_tdw there is another folder called mods, which contains another folder called the same as the top level, I cut and pasted all these up one level, and then deleted the empty mods folder and it worked...

I have been using the journal alot. I open my journal file with the journal editor and its not the same text as the ingame journal. The editor adds all the commands to it. Is there a way to get my editor journal to look like the ingame journal? Also is there away to get journal to text file for printing or copying? I have a feeling I might need to press one the buttons on bottem right of journal. Not sure which one.

My in game journal
http://www6.picfront.org/picture/R22PgoxGV7h/thb/j1.jpg (http://www.picfront.org/d/8j5d)

Editor Jorunal
http://www6.picfront.org/picture/97Y8ToX1vR/thb/j2.jpg (http://www.picfront.org/d/8j5c)

The reason the journal looks different in the app vice ingame is because the game can emit 'silent' entries. These silent entries do not appear in the ingame journal but are displayed in the app. You can make any entry silent or unsilent by using the app.

Good ideas! I'll update the app tomorrow as I'm flying airport to airport :up:

If by ship recognition book you mean SOAN then you have to click the charts icon in the top right lower bar. Then drag SOAN out from the upper left side of screen. If you're talking about the other ship recognition (stock one) you have to go to a scope view first and then click on the XO picture.

Great! My idea was to make a post called The diary of U389 and update the post with diary logs and pictures everytime I play. Kindof like an online diary that all can see. When I went to the journal editor to get my entries I was surprised to see much more lol.

I love the way I can hide all the commands in the journal as seen in my first picture. Now its a real journal! Another way to add immersion to the sim:up:

You dont even need to touch that file anymore. TDW has an easy to use tool in the applications folder that will migrate your old settings into your new UI. I have a save of my options on my desktop I use when updating UI. Then I can just migrate it when a new one comes out. Its found here

i cant get the three dials up when installing mod, would someone please explain in plain language how to install mod, i am a little thick!:yawn:

first disable the mod via JGME. then if you want your UI like SH3 or SH4 style you have to go to your game folder-mods for example;
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_x_x_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Scrip ts\Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py and open this file with your notepad.then at the top you will find the code;

"set below to either SH3Style , SH4Style, or SH5Enhanced
UIStyle = SH5Enhanced"

for SH3 style UI you must write UIStyle = SH3Style (good old 3 dials is this one)
for SH4 style UI you must write UIStyle = SH4Style

renable your mode and its ready!hope this helps!

if you dont have any idea how to install modes, simply go here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1629507&postcount=26) & watch.

Hi!

Sorry if I missed this, but I did not see any info if it is possible to disable the Snorkel with an option. I am using 6.7.0 now and I have the snorkel also in a VII A...

I know that the snorkel is good to have and it adds to gameplay... still it disturbs me a bit on my bridge because it actually does not really belong there... So would it be an option to take the snorkel in until invisible if not in use? I do not really like to cut through the textures of the snorkel on the bridge while using my binoculars...

Just a remark...

And something I found out:
The buttons to the left where I can trigger for example periscope depth or snorkel depth...
Now with 6.7.0 if I order snorkel depth the sound plays all right but the boat is actually only starting to move after I clicked a second time (although I am not sure if that was introduced with 6.7.0)... Anyone else had this?

Small remark, Mia:03::
MO do not include the described versions of UHS and AirTorps. The parameters/features they fixing are partly included in TDW NewUI since ver.6.5.1-6.6.0. (in acc. to Stoianm and other contributors recommendations) So if U don't use this versions of TDW NewUI's or higher , AirTorps and UHS could be used (installed after MO but before NewUI).

As for 'TDW Water Disturbances' mod - it is not included in any versions of TDW NewUIs ( even the latest one), so if U like it U can use it by now with NewUi 6.7.0. also :salute:.

Some more notes about compatibility of Magnum Opus and NewUI v.6.7.0 while testing.
I've applied a small modlist (Antilag+MO patched to v.2+NewUi v.6.7.0 and Speech Recognition v.0.4.1) on the stock game patched to v.1.2. (after first save in the bunker) and received the following bugs :
1. When loading the saved file, starting the patrol the port infrastructure (cranes, pier, etc.) and even the bunker itself are often missing - the U-boat is leaving the lonely standing one shore bunker, that looks like the yacht-club:D, or the U-boat is 'parked' just at the shoreline without any bunker at all.
2. When teleporting to periscope the interface is visible but there is only the white screen instead view through the ocular.
3. When teleporting back to the bridge I find myself fixed just under the U-boat hull.
4. The TAI-map elements are disappearing suddenly without any operations with it.
The described 4 bugs are happens regularly, after appr. 5 trials of restarting the game they can disappear, but when loading next time happens again.

5. The 'Speech Recognition mod' doesn't work with MO+NewUi 6.7.0 applied, though everything in interface concerning this mod is functioning. Meanwhile if NewUI is applied without MO, Speech Recognition works perfect.

Installing/reinstalling the mods, starting game with admin/user rights, following TDW instructions and other recommendations do not play a trick.
So the conclusion I've made to myself is - the higher version of NewUi is used, than the less it is compatible with MO:DL. May be I've done something wrong, but I've tried lots of variants and couldn't reach the stable result.

Probably this info will help those guys having the same problems:salute:

Hi!

Ok, thanks for the answers. I have another question, though.
I do not fully understand, how to apply the DeutschMod (which I really would like to use), but I have the feeling that this mod is much more about MO (I do not use MO) than NewUIs. I am not sure, if the DeutschMod would not install a lot of things for other mods that I do not even have installed and therefore would mess up my install...

In addition, the DeutschMod also includes AntiLag and new textures... I have tried to reduce this Mod to only contain the actual strings (that I would expect in there), but I failed because I do not know what most files are about...

Any hints?

Servus Meldric,

Du sagst 'DeutschMod' - welchen mod meinst Du?
Ehm, vielleicht sollte Ich auf englisch fortsetzen. Unsere Freunde hier im Forum finden ja englisch besser... Seltsam, ist es nicht ein Spiel mit deutschen U-Booten. :hmmm:

Well, speaking about mods in general I've found that modifying mods can be tricky.
Even if you activate a mod it shouldn't mess up your install. It could happen that it messes up your mods list but if you find that it really does just de-activate it.
It shouldn do any harm just to try it out.

NewUIs with TDC for SH5 by TheDarkWraith
version 6.7.0

YOU HAVE TO BE PATCHED TO v1.2 OF THE GAME!!!

COPYRIGHT NOTICE:
The code changes made to the .py files are the intellectual property of TheDarkWraith and may not be used, modified, or duplicated in whole, or in part, without the express written permission of TheDarkWraith. The code changes made to these files may not be used in any commercial application of any form without the express written permission of TheDarkWraith.

To install this mod correctly do the following:
Navigate to where you unzipped the mod to and open it up. Select the 'MODS' folder and right click on it. Select copy. Navigate to your '\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\' folder and open it up. Right click in an empty area and select paste. Enable 'NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_ByTheDarkWraith' via JSGME FIRST then enable any additional add-on mods you want (this assumes you setup JSGME to use the 'MODS' folder as default)

NOTE: is this mod perfect? NO WAY. It will continue to evolve as I learn more about the files and the game itself. Does the mod contain any bugs or errors? I hope not but to say it doesn't would be foolish. I will address errors/bugs as users find them and post them in my UIs thread. If the automatic mast height function isn't working correctly please start the game with Admin rights (right click the SH5 icon and select RunAs-->Administrator)

This mod will bring the several new UIs to SH5. Currently the list of UIs are:
- SH3 style
- SH4 style
- SH5 Enhanced

SH3 style UI consists of:
- familiar 3 dials (throttle/speed, heading/rudder, depth25/depth260).
- Officer shortcut bar with commands for officers.
- TDC. Each scope's TDC mode can be set to: no TDC, minimal dials, all dials
- Fuel, CO2, O2, and battery levels bargraph. Used to monitor levels of each. Current level displayed on bar graph.

SH4 style UI consists of:
- familiar 3 dials (throttle/speed, heading/rudder, depth25/depth260).
- TDC. Each scope's TDC mode can be set to: no TDC, minimal dials, all dials
- Fuel, CO2, O2, and battery levels bargraph. Used to monitor levels of each. Current level displayed on bar graph.

SH5 Enhanced UI consists of:
- TDC. Each scope's TDC mode can be set to: no TDC, minimal dials, all dials
- Heading bar integrated into the speed bar. Clicking the heading bar readout will reveal a heading/rudder dial. The dial is switchable from heading mode to rudder mode by clicking on the button under the dial. Clicking on the heading bar readout again will hide the dial (it retains the mode it was in when revealed again). Mousing into the heading bar readout and pressing the appropriate keys will set the ordered heading. You can press and hold the appropriate keys to keep changing the ordered heading. The appropriate keys (and all options) can be changed by editing \MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_TheDarkWraith\data\Scripts\ Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py). Mousing out of the heading bar readout with a new ordered heading will cause this ordered heading to take effect. The dial can also be used to set the ordered heading / rudder angle. A tooltip has been integrated to be shown when you mouse into the heading bar readout. It will either display the current heading or if you have requested a new ordered heading the current ordered heading. Once within 5 degrees of the ordered heading the tooltip will start to display the current heading. The heading/rudder dial can also be cycled on/off using a hotkey. The state of the dial (rudder or heading) can be switched via hotkey also.
- Officer shortcut bar with commands for officers.
- optional integrated levels that gives the user Fuel, CO2, O2, and battery levels bargraph. Used to monitor levels of each. Current level displayed on bar graph.

Common to all UIs:
- Option to enable heading display in Binocular view
- Added skwasjer's digital clock to top right

For those UIs that utilize the familiar 3 dials:
- The dials have two states.
- The first dial has the states of: engine order telegraph and speed.
- The second dial has states of heading and rudder angle (though angle displayed on dial doesn't match rudder deflection currently. Still sorting that out).
- The third dial has states of shallow depth and deep depth.
- To change states simply click on the button below the dial.
- The dials will expand when the mouse is inside them and they will contract when mouse is outside them (like zoom in/out). Individual zoom levels can be set for throttle, speed, heading, rudder, depth260, and depth25.
- User can lock out each individual dial (and each state of the dial) from zooming.
- The animation rate of the dials expanding/contracting can also be changed.
- The dials can be customized by using a different .dds file. See the readme.txt file in \Dials.

For those UIs that utilize the TDC:
- There are four versions of the TDC included - All dials, minimal dials, spread angle only, and no TDC
- All dials will take control of the functionality of the SH5 interface for a torpoedo solution (and associated controls in the SH5 stock UI are removed).
- Minimal dials just exposes the dials not exposed by the stock SH5 UI and also uses the stock UI.
- spread angle only just adds the spread angle dial to the TDC
- No TDC removes the TDC from the mod.
- The TDC interfaces have been included on the obs periscope, attack periscope, and UZO. User has option to disable TDC on each station mentioned.

xxx = Attack, Obs, or UZO
To install All dials (for each scope):
In the options file set: xxxTDCMode = TDCAllDials
To install minimal dials (for each scope):
In the options file set: xxxTDCMode = TDCMinimalDials
To install spread angle only dial (for each scope):
In the options file set: xxxTDCMode = TDCSpreadAngle
To install No TDC (for each scope):
In the options file set: xxxTDCMode = NOTDCDials

All user configurable settings can be found in the file '\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_TheDarkWraith\data\Scripts \Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py'. NOTE: When editing this file ensure you save the file as Unicode encoding in order for non-ANSI characters to be displayed in game!

********** NOTE: ***********
In order to receive debug messages from the ship's journal feature of the mod you need to ensure the following is set like the below in your \Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg:
[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
MenuEditor=No
DebugScripts=Yes

This mod also saves and restores position information of certain draggable items. Those draggable items that do not have dragging enabled via the options file will not be updated at game start - they will default to their default position information. The draggable items are:
- Officers
- SH5 Enhanced mode heading/rudder dial
- Clock
- XO TDC Dialog box
- Otto's integrated Chalkboard mod
- Messagebox
- Gramophone
- Radio
- Enhanced Recognition Manual add-on mod
The position information is stored in a file for each page. The files are located in your SH5 install path (...\Silent Hunter 5). The files are named as follows: pagex_Draggables.TDW. The information in the files is stored in binary form and can be viewed using a hex editor if one wishes. To erase all stored position information simply delete the pagex_Draggables.TDW files. Upon restart of the game new files will be created and the items will be at their stock default location.
NOTE: if you are having trouble with items not repositioning or the likes it is probably because Windows is enforcing a privilege level on the game. Simply start the game with Admin rights (right click the SH5 icon and select RunAs-->Administrator)

Automation has been added to this mod. Automation is exactly as it sounds - the automatic carrying out of orders defined by the user via scripts. All available commands are defined in \data\Automation\TDW_Automation.txt (this file can be opened with Notepad).

A BIG thanks to maerean_m for information and assistance he gave in helping me make the TDC come to life for the obs periscope, attack periscope, and UZO. Thanks again!!
The default text is English. There is a new folder called '\Text'. In it you will find folders of all the different languages I have for the mod. Navigate to you language and then copy the menu.txt file and paste in '\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_TheDarkWraith\data\Menu'. Then copy the 'MODS' folder to your '\Ubisoft\SilentHunter5\' folder (this assumes that you setup JSGME to use the MODS folder as default). Enable via JSGME.

The Attack Disc has been added to the mod. You can find documentation for it in \Documentation\Attack_Disc_Handbook.pdf

Current languages supported by this are:
English
German
French
Polish
Spanish
Russian
Italian
Swedish (contact SilentSteel for questions regarding this language)
Chinese (done by kys2000)

I urge you to play the game with the enhanced SH5 UI. I prefer this UI to even the SH3 UI (familiar 3 dials). I still haven't gotten around to fixing the problems with the SH4 UI command bar yet.

Manos scope mod is the default scope mod installed in this mod. Default aspect ratio is 4:3
NOTE: The default RAOBF graticules for the scopes are calibrated for the attack, obs, and UZO. Calibrations are:
attack - 1x and 6x
obs - 1x and 6x
UZO - 7x
If you are using a mod that changes the zoom levels of these scopes (i.e. Arclight's periscope mod) then you'll need a patch to change the graticules to the correct 'value'.

NOTE: Teleporting is not perfect! If you find yourself 'outside' of the sub press shift+U to get back inside. Hopefully you never find yourself in this situation.....

See the included documentation for more information about the mod (\data\Documentation)

- fixed bug of if sub is submerged then fire at will was available for deck gun and flak guns. Now fire at will is disabled when submerged for both
- if sub submerges with deck gun or flak gun fire at will enabled then hold fire will be ordered up
- updated SOAN's country flags to be compatible with upcoming campaign update (updated with flags they have done)
- updated \data\Roster\Names.cfg to be compatible with upcoming campaign update
- added a new hotkey that controls the charts (and thus SOAN) visibility. Default key for this is 'E' (ChartsHotKey)
- SOAN now checks to see if the country for the unit exists in it's database. If not then the unknown flag (black flag with ? in middle) will be shown for it. If the country does exist in it's database but there is no flag for it then the unknown flag will be shown for it.
- added a new hotkey that controls the Ship's Journal visibility. Default key for this is 'Q' (ShipsJournalHotKey)
- when follow target is enabled a new orders bar for it appears. This new orders bar has one box - Follow target offset. By mousing into this box and scrolling the mousewheel you adjust the offset amount in 0.01 increments. This offset allows you to follow the target and place the crosshairs on a different part of the ship other than the center of it. Every time follow target is toggled follow target offset is reset to 0
- added a new hotkey that controls the incrementing of the follow selected target offset value. Default key is Shift+E (IncreaseFollowSelectedTargetOffsetHotKey)
- added a new hotkey that controls the decrementing of the follow selected target offset value. Default key is Shift+Q (DecreaseFollowSelectedTargetOffsetHotKey)
- changed how mod displays info to players (for errors/bugs/critical info). It no longer shows popup boxes but instead writes messages to debug output (use \data\Applications\DbgView to view messages)
- fixed bug in TDWDraggables.dll where the draggable items were not being saved to file when original file was deleted to reset all draggable positions
v6.7.0 - fixed bug in radio messages where if TC 1 on new radio message was enabled sound would sometimes not be played
- fixed bug of campaign radio messages sometimes not being read in at game start
- fixed some logic problems with the command buttons in the Automation page
- Added a new command button to Automation's commands: save started currently activated scripts. When pressed it will save the started currently activated scripts to file. Upon game start it will read this file and if any previously activated scripts are found it will automatically start them
- folder structure for radio message sounds changed so that mod can pick a random sound from available sounds in folders
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the dive button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (DiveTeleportToStation)
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the periscope depth button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (PeriscopeDepthTeleportToStation)
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the snorkel depth button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (SnorkelDepthTeleportToStation)
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the emergency surface button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (EmergencySurfaceTeleportToStation)
- added a new user option that controls where the player teleports to when the surface button is pressed. Valid values are: None - do not teleport anywhere, "TelToObsScope" - teleport to obs scope, "TelToAttackScope" - teleport to attack scope, "TelToRadar" - telelport to radar station, "TelToHydrophone" - teleport to hydrophone station, "TelToCaptainsBed" - teleport to Captain's bed (SurfaceDepthTeleportToStation)
- Automation's Navigate_from_file command now let's you resume navigation from a close waypoint if waypoint_resume > 0. waypoint_resume is defined in the .SHN file as a new header
- Automation's Navigate_from_file command now let's you define bufferzones around the sub. These bufferzones are used to detect units. If a unit crosses a bufferzone then the command will take action based on settings in the .SHN file
- Automation's Navigate_from_file command now let's you specify the radius of the waypoints (precision and non-precision). When this radius is reached the next waypoint will be ordered up
- Radio messages updated to include columns for sound type to play and volume level of the sound to play. Currently applies only to regular radio messages (not campaign radio messages)
- Incorporated my Uboat_Snorkel mod into this one (all uboat's snorkels are enabled by default)
- Sub's snorkel depth changed to 14.0m from 10.0m
- added missing countries to \data\Roster\Names.cfg's [Countries] header brought to my attention by Ruby2000
- added a new user option that controls whether battery recharge mode is ordered up when the snorkel is raised (and conditions are right for snorkeling). Default value is True (enabled) (AutomaticallyOrderRechargeModeWhenSnorkeling)
- added a new user option that specifies the maximum speed allowed underwater when snorkel is raised. Default value is 10.0knots (GetMaxSpeedWhenSnorkelRaised)
- added lots of debug code for the torp doors to help catch the error that sometimes the torp door is disabled when it shouldn't be
- in order to avoid compatibility problems with those mods that modify the \data\Roster\Names.cfg I have created a new file, \data\Roster\SOANNames.cfg, that contains the headers for [Countries] and [SOANCategories]. I do not include the \data\Roster\Names.cfg file anymore with this mod. If there are countries defined in \data\Roster\Names.cfg that don't exist in \data\Roster\SOANNames.cfg then they will be added to the database the mod maintains for all the countries
- added an add-on mod that removes the exhaust smoke from the snorkel (NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_No_Snorkel_Exhaust_Smoke)

I think TDW has been gone the last few days. I am using his new UI but I dont have the snorkel because I am using the extra crew mod. Short term solution but it does work. I didnt have any problems loading up a saved gave either. I am sure when TDW gets back he will a solution or extra mod to get rid of the snorkel. For now use this mod and it will get rid of your snorkel. Its a short term solution.

To get rid of the snorkel simply edit the sub's cfg file. For the O04 entry make the linkname say NULL instead of the snorkel :up:

Hi Ruby!

I write in English, so everyone can follow...

I am not using MO, only NewUIs. I have the feeling that the DeutschMod requires more (or different) MODs than I have. For example is also the AntiLag included (which I already have installed)... Can you help me to actually reduce the DeutschMod to include only the translated strings for newUIs and OHII?

Maybe it would be an idea to split the DeutschMod into single translation MODs for the different things? Just a thought...

Mel

08-15-11, 04:15 AM

Hello Meldric.

Why not deleting the Antilag stuff from the Mod folder before activating?

For OHII you should be fine with the entire data/Campaigns folder.

Install after OHII (and terrain addon).

Hi!

Of course I could delete AntiLag, but as I said several times before: I think there is more than that contained in the DeutschMod and I do not know what (of course I have the list in the other thread, but there is no connection to the files).
AntiLag is only one example.
I would love to have only the files translating NewUIs and OHII, because if I install the DeutschMod, I also get new textures, new keyboard-layout and things like that...
I would like to separate this, but I think I can't do it on my own

Servus Meldric,
I'm not sure what you exactly mean by 'I would love to have only the files translating NewUIs and OHII' but I think you mean the files translating the Radio Messages to German. Is that correct?
If this is what you mean I can tell that today I downloaded the DEUTSCHMOD_0.9.6 for MO and New UIs + OH because I like to play 'in German' (and improve my German) :D
But as I'm currently running the Ui-boat I wanted to get only the translated Radio Messages so I simply made a new mod for myself that includes only the German radiomessages.txt files.

1. First you must make a backup of the folder C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\RadioMessages
this folder contains the following
- one subfolder named 'English' (with the original English radio messages) plus
- one file named 'WWIIShipNames.txt' (with the original ship names in English)

2. Make a copy of the DEUTSCHMOD_0.9.6 for MO and New UIs + OH and open it up.

3. Delete all subfolders until you have only this structure left; DEUTSCHMOD_0.9.6\data\RadioMessages
this folder should contain the following:
- one folder named 'German' (with the new German radio messages) plus
- one file named 'WWIIShipNames.txt' (with the ship names translated to German)

4. Save

5. Go to the folder; C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\RadioMessages
and delete the folder 'English' and the file 'WWIIShipNames.txt' (these are the original ones with the original English versions that we made a backup for in step 1 above).

6. Paste the new mod DEUTSCHMOD_0.9.6\data\RadioMessages from step 3 above into C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS

7. Activate with JSGME as usual

Works fine for me. :up:

Is it necessary to delete the folder "English" in RadioMessages? Or is it enough to choose the language in the Settings of NewUIs?

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

Hi,

I think the game will go nuts if it finds two folders in there.
What we want to do is - swap the English Radio Messages and Ship Names for German ones, OK?

When you choose language in the NewUIs_TDC you only change the;
data\Menu\menu.txt file from English to German, right? This only gives you menues in German but now we want to get the written Radio Messages plus the Ship Names in German.

If you follow what I explained before you will make a little new mod that contains the 'German' folder (with the written German radio messages) and the WWIIShipNames.txt (with the ship names in the translated German version).
This mod will only add the German radio messages folder and the German Ship Names file.
The RadioMessages folder can only contain one such folder and one such .txt file at a time.
That's why we have to delete the original ones before applying.

If you'd like to make it easy to switch back to English you could make one exactly the same but with the original English versions instead.
This way you can easily shift between German/English Radio Messages and Ship Names. Give them appropriate names so you recognize them.

Since we make a backup of the original 'English' folder and the WWIIShipNames.txt file you should delete the 'English' folder and the WWIIShipNames.txt and then apply the new mod with the German versions we have made.

After you have applied the mod in JSGME - just to be sure - check in the;
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\RadioMessages that you have only the German folder and WWIIShipNames.txt :up:

Hallo

I've tried that one but never seen that I get them in German. :nope: Have you had?
Well I haven't had any luck with this and I don't understand how this would be possible.

If you change in the .py file from English to German - this would mean that the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py would swap the whole 'RadioMessages\English' folder for the German one. Right?
AND, in the RadioMessages folder is a .txt file - WWIIShipsNames.txt... If the .py file were to change the English version to a German version it would mean that such a German version of the WWIIShipsNames.txt should be in the NewUIs_TDC.
I havent seen such a German version there, and at least not the version in the DEUTSCHMOD_0.9.6 for MO and New UIs + OH, which is very good. :up:

08-15-11, 12:44 PM

Hi Meldric,

you can use the Mod without MO. And you can remove some directories/files.

Here a short structure - overview

data\Campaigns --> German translations for OH II
data\Automation --> German translations Automations from NewUI
data\cfg --> German Keyboard layout
data\LngGameData --> picture for German Keyboard layout
data\menu\menu.txt --> German texts in SH5
data\menu\... --> pictures without swastika
data\RadioMessages\German --> radiomessages
data\Roster --> German translations (ships, countries...)
data\Scripts\Menu --> User.py for German keyboar layout
If you use the German radiomessagen, then you must change follow parameter in user.py
# the language for the random radio messages in game
# Current supported languages are: English
# Note: language MUST be enclosed in quotation marks!
# RUBY 2011/01 Default = English
# DEFAULT RadioMessageLanguage = "English"
RadioMessageLanguage = "German"

It is not necessary to delete the English folder.

data\Sea --> only *.sil files (not important)
data\Sound --> Germam voices
data\Terrain --> Geman location map
data\Textures --> textures without swastika
data\Tutorials --> German translation Automations from NewUI
data\UPCDataGE --> German dialogs

You can delete directories that you don't need. I think this should be no problem. :03:

@ Silent Steel

If you change in the .py file from English to German - this would mean that the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py would swap the whole 'RadioMessages\English' folder for the German one. Right?
Yes, default folder is then "RadioMessages\German"

AND, in the RadioMessages folder is a .txt file - WWIIShipsNames.txt... If the .py file were to change the English version to a German version it would mean that such a German version of the WWIIShipsNames.txt should be in the NewUIs_TDC
No! You have to change anything in the user.py for this. The file WWIIShipNames.txt is only a Mod-update. And you should use the files ..\data\Roster

Jetzt, als Ich's beschreibt habe scheint's wie Ich endlich meine Radio Meldungen auf Deutsch habe. You can also use the menut.txt and dialogs. :DL See the Mod-structure...

How does the Depth_Keeping_Problem_TheDarkWraith mod fit in now ? Where do i put it ? . Does it break anything ? Is it already included in another mod ? thanks TDW :up:

Sober, I asked this question in the [REL] Depth Keeping Fix thread and the answer I got from TDW is that the mod has been rolled into the UI mod. So there's no need to continue using the stand alone mod as long as you have the current version of TDW's UI.

thanks to those of you who PM'd me their DbgView outputs with the error replacing contact's actual speed error. With those outputs I was finally able to put that bug to rest. The problem was my error - incorrect range values for the speeds.

Now I'm writing an app that will allow you to edit the options file without having to open it up (a GUI). As it has now reached the complexity that ordinary people are having trouble with it (game errors due to incorrect entries) I deem this necessary so users have a more enjoyable experience with the mod. It will also make enabling/disabling the snorkel much easier to do :DL

Still awaiting some DbgView outputs on the torp door problems that some users have :yep:

You can find patch 1 for v6.7.0 at post #1 of this thread.

just downloaded my own mod and looked at the code for this. I changed the way the compass rose worked some versions ago. It is no longer tied to the heading of the uboat but rather controlled by keys - the Q and E keys. Shift + Q or E to increase/decrease faster.

Please help me. I don't understand how turn the compass rose on the attack disc. When I used Q and E the attack course pointer turned.

Trevally, I accidentally found an issue using SHIFT + Z to remove the interface and take a screenshot in external view. If you do that, the automation script is paused. If you go back to the bridge and forget to press SHIFT + Z again, you get the interface again, but incomplete. TDW´s digital clock no progress, and automated orders are not performed. Maybe someone will serve know this. Thank you to you and TDW, very much for your work. It is an amazing mod.

Recently got back into SH5, updated all my mods and started a new Career.

This UI is absolutely fantastic, however, I do have a couple issues.

Range finding using the periscope (Aligning the image), always results in a distance of 20000. I'm also struggling with the Speed. Often the speed will give me silly numbers like 70 knots instead of 7 (stopped the boat, timed 1 minute, hit the icon and wait for calculation).

I have followed the tutorials for using these options, but I feel like I must be doing something wrong?

Aside from the issues I'm having, is there an easy/automatic mode for these calculations that is reliable. There are sometimes I am feeling lazy and don't feel like doing it all myself or have limited time and want to get through he battle ASAP so I can save the game safely. I've tried leaving the TDC in off mode, and relying on the little green triangle like one does in the base game, but it will always miss.

while travelling back to home via airports I worked on the Attack Disc again. I redid how the attack disc is used. You now use the mousewheel for everything on the attack disc. You press either shift, ctrl, alt, shift + ctrl, or nothing to control which disc is rotated by the mousewheel. This is a MUCH better approach to moving the discs. I also added a tooltip to the attack disc that explains how to rotate the discs.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=4745

I also revised the tooltips on the RAOBF and the draggable compass on the nav map:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=4748

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=4747

With these changes/improvements it should make using these items much easier and intuitive :up:

Will be available in next version.

Change log so far:
v6.7.2 - changed how the attack disc is used. Now all discs are rotated using the mousewheel. If the front side is visible and mousewheel is rotated and:
- no key pressed: rotates Compass rose
- shift pressed: rotates Target disc
- ctrl pressed: rotates bearing and lead angle
- alt pressed: rotates attack course pointer
- shift + ctrl pressed: rotates relative bearing
if backside is visible and mousewheel is rotated and:
- shift pressed: rotates Speed and distance
- ctrl pressed: rotates time
- alt pressed: rotates degrees
- added tooltips to the attack disc that informs the user how to rotate the discs
- revised tooltip on the nav map draggable compass

I'll also be revising the ship's journal viewer app. One of the changes will be the ability to show/hide the 'secret' entries in the journal. When you hide these secret entries then the journal will be just like you see in-game.

I should have the app complete for the GUI for editing the options file also in next version. I see this app as a must have due to the amount of errors I've seen posted about incorrectly editing the options file.

Can you add something to the ship journal app to make "like save as text" or something? I would like to be able to copy the text from my journal and put it in a notepad or something.

I've added some new things to the ship's journal viewer app:
- a View entry in the menu. Under this view entry is Hidden entries. Clicking on Hidden entries will toggle it's checkstate. If checked then the hidden entries in the journal will be shown. Default state is not checked.
- Under File I added a Save as txt... entry. When clicked it will save the journal as a txt file (you get to specify name and path). It will save the journal as a txt file by the following:
- Uboat hull number followed by space followed by captain's name followed by 2 tabs then the date and time
- entries for that day (HH:MM entry text)
- when it's the next day then 4 new lines will be printed and the cycle starts all over again
- hidden entries will only be saved to txt file if Hidden entries is checked under View

Hello!

The compass rose (disc B) on Attack Disc don't update whenever I change course. It's turn 180 mark at the top of disc A always

I've been debating as to whether to add a switch that when enabled will toggle the compass rose to the uboat heading. Here's my dilemma: if I add this switch and the uboat heading is changing, the compass rose will change but do I need to make the other discs change the same amount the compass rose is changing or just the compass rose needs to change :06:

Great news :yeah: Starting in v6.8.0 you'll be able to pan/rotate the scope with the RAOBF visible :D This is something people have been wanting for a long time.
I added a small switch near the top left of the RAOBF. If this switch is down you can pan/rotate the scope with the mouse (you cannot rotate RAOBF middle ring). If this switch is up then you cannot pan the scope but you can rotate the RAOBF inner ring. Switch is toggled either by clicking it or pressing the middle mouse button (if you have a middle mouse button on your mouse).

Thanks a lot, TDW. Those improvements of interface should be very useful for the 100%-real hunters:up: Small remark re. the switch - may be better if it was like a button, as in Speech rec. interface ('on' - yellow color, 'off' - no color) just to see if it works while a short view when busy with attack calculations. I think it'll be more comfortable and should support more 'unification' of the NewUi.

It's just personnel opinion, if its too bothering or somebody regrets - let the switch be as it is now (not critical):salute:.

thinking ahead here (Danger Will Robinson :o)......Since you can now export the ship's journal to a text file via the Ship's Journal Viewer I thought it might be nice to be able to export a single day vice the entire journal. Thus I have added a new entry in the File menu: Export current date...

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=4756

When clicked it will open up a dialog box for you to select the path and enter the filename to save the current date's entries to :up:

Also fixed the bug where if you clicked the active journal (journal name located under Ship's Journal in the main menu) in the main menu nothing happened. Now when you click it the ship's journal viewer app will be called. Problem was due to moving the app to a different folder and not updating the mod to point to it some versions ago. Will be available in v6.8.0.

@TheDarkWraith

In MO-thread there were some posts concerning possible problems of running SpeechRecognition-mod with NewUI 6.7.0

While testing it for couple of days I figure out that SR is working great with NewUI 6.7.0 excepting mod-lists that contain both MO+NewUI.
In this variant it doesn't work as well as lot of other troubles are appeared (described in my post #7653). So I couldn't reach any stable result with MO and NewUI working together even without using other mods. :salute:.

SR should work fine with v6.7.0. I've tested it with no problems. SR will not work with just MO - the version of my UIs mod in it doesn't have support for SR. Now if you enable my newest version (6.7.0) after MO then SR should work no problem. Now SR needs to be installed after my UIs mod for it to work properly.

I've meant troubles with MO+NewUI (missing bunker or terrain when starting patrol, 'white box' in scope interface .etc, if they only are installed on the stock game version even without SR and other mods following. When loading the bunker-saved game sometimes they work, sometimes not - that is unstable:yep:. May be the lack of RAM cause this problem

I'm not sure if this is doable, but can I suggest this addition.

When I'm at the Nav map all the sounds of the sub mute and all I get is a constant hum like being under battery power, surely you should be able to hear the hubbub of the boat. Diesels/electrics running, footsteps and such like. The reason why it seems daft not to, is that the Hydophone station is a very noisy place to be. All I can hear from this station(When trying to concentrate on the wheel and dial) is LOUD footsteps of crew walking by and the engines running in the background...If I'm the Captain and I'm at the Hydro station, I want sounds to a minimum as if I had given the order. Not silent running..But "Hey number one, can you quiet the men down a little, I'm trying to find the tommies up top"...

Tonight I made a huge breakthrough in something I've been wanting to do: Show the player's history (position wise) on an SH5 style map (along with other things). I finally was able to read the SH5 map correctly and apply the gradient to it for the colors. Looks just like the nav map in game doesn't it? :D :
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=4780

Now I just have to code in some changes to the in-game ship's journal and then I can code in the code needed for this app to read it and display it. This was huge :D

If you want to try the app as it is now you can: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20706432/SH5_Map_Journal_Viewer_0_0_1_by_TheDarkWraith_zip

It will display the SH5 map as is used in the game. You can pan and zoom and change the gradient (map colors) by referencing the screenshot above. Press H for help to show the help box like above in the screenshot.

NOTE: when you change gradients it will take a minute or two (or less) depending on how powerful your CPU is. It's having to change a TON of data when this happens is the reason why it takes some time.

Could be...haven't gotten that far yet. I finally just got it to display correctly. This app is not dependent on the game (you don't need the game running). It just reads some files from it.

What's wrong with the mission editor thing I coded in when you select a historic mission? It displays a map that you can select your starting position.

@TheDarkWraith.

Probably you have lost one Pixel (Land or Water).:DL Caspian sea was not primary on a card. It is an error of developers.:O:
It too has puzzled me.:hmmm:
In a consequence on yours Map there were lakes in Africa and Caspian sea. As a result not an exact coastal line. :06:

Have you tested your new .raw file in game? I'm a little worried that the changes you made might have an impact on the game in the form of unexpected land/sea changes. This raw file is used as a heightmap for the game (used to determine what is land/sea and depth/height of each). So any changes made to it should be reflected in game as land/sea changes. The gradient tga file just adds the 'coloring' for the map so player can visually see what is land/sea and depth/height of each.

It is absolutely excluded! :DL(Land - Water) I do not touch levels of Pixels. In that and complexity on introduction "Marinequadratrarte", that it is necessary to use that already is present in raw. file.
I check constantly in Game.

The pale shallows on Map it is not critical display a coastal line. Errors simply are not visible. It was necessary to introduce gradient (IO) and ...
In what the reason I can not understand.:hmmm:

I have compared original gradien to Yours.
In Yours gradient on one Pixel there is more (Land).

gradient1 is the stock game gradient. Gradient 2-5 came from the Chart Colour Scheme map mod.

I just tried your revised .raw file from your mod and it works great :yeah: No ill effects in game. I've added your gradient as gradient6 to the app. I'm going to chage the app so that you can scroll through the gradients (like it already does) and give it the ability to select specific gradient via the number keys. I'm also adding the key 'R' to it that will reload the current gradient in case you want to test changes to a specific gradient.

I'll have to update the Map viewer app so that it can read the bigger game map (map2) :up:

There are some other things I'm going to add to it. That first version was just to see if it would work or not. Now that it does I can really go hog wild on it.
