[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[Magic1111]

Patch 1 for v6.8.0 available at post #1. This patch fixes the problem with the automation scripts not autostarting on loading a saved game that had automation scripts enabled before

Many thx TDW!:yeah:
Can I enable the patch during patrol, or only in port (bunker)?:06:

Best regards,
Magic

Real Navigation Map
Hi , when i do a depth reading i would like to be able to place a depth super mark in meters on the nav map . As i play the campaign i would fill the nav map with depth marks from the depth readings i have obtained previously . This would only be fun if you can get rid of the shallowest water map color . Also it would be good if whatever map resolution i added the depth marks too , they would only show up on that reslution . So i could pick the map resolution i wanted the depth marks on . I would need to be able to delete the depth marks if needed . Just ignore this idea if you want , its just an idea .

interesting idea...but what purpose does it serve :hmmm:

[THE_MASK]

Ok , i can get depth under keel anytime . What would be handy is if i am travelling somewhere i have been previously in the campaign i could follow my previous depth markings so i could travel in the deepest safest parts . I could just refer to my navmap and have all the depth markings on it . This would be only fun if the shallower navmap depth colors were not available . It just gives the player something extra to do .

[THE_MASK]

Also , we already have squares on the navmap . Anyway to add the grid numbers to the squares . We could recieve campaign messages included with OH2 such as patrol grid AO43 for 1 week ect . Just an idea .

Another thought - were there really charts in color?
Don't think so.

I find the colored charts/maps annoying and I think many with me would like to have an option to have them black/white. Maybe with a slight shade of sepia. :)

[kylania]

Don't SMs and NM disappear between saves? So how would you keep Depth Marks?

Also you should be able to change the gradient file to be grayscale if you wanted a black/white map. :)

I've noticed a few problems with my Ships Journal tonight. I've sunk some ships that simply don't appear in my Journal. The two so far are: AOTDMadMax/Stormfly/SteelViking Big Modern Passengership and the Uekel Medium Composite Freighter. Not only do they not appear in the Journal they don't leave Death Marks either.

Here's my mods in case I have something installed wrong which is causing this problem. I'm getting full credit for them in the game's journal, just not TDW UI's journal.

They would be easy to add (since they would be like supermarks). They would act like supermarks. Problem is how do I determine when to add one? Add one everytime you take a depth under keel reading or ? :hmmm:

Also , we already have squares on the navmap . Anyway to add the grid numbers to the squares . We could recieve campaign messages included with OH2 such as patrol grid AO43 for 1 week ect . Just an idea .

I have no idea how the game makes those squares. Antar and I are working on something like this currently :yep:

Here's my mods in case I have something installed wrong which is causing this problem. I'm getting full credit for them in the game's journal, just not TDW UI's journal.

SMs and NMs do not disappear between saves. They are saved to your ship's journal and thus you always have them. Run the ShipsJournalViewer app found in \data\Applications and load up your journal. You should see entries for these in the boxes.

You can use my gradient viewer/editor found in \data\Applications to change the gradient of the map.

Try running the SHValidator app found in \data\Applications to ensure that your campaign files aren't hosed. That's currently the only reason I can see why those ships wouldn't show in journal.

[THE_MASK]

I guess the same as a supermark except that the X would be a number that i could change on the map .

Okay but do I make a new icon for this then? Add it above say the supermarks icon?

[THE_MASK]

Okay but do I make a new icon for this then? Add it above say the supermarks icon? As far as i know there is no way to save a mark on a map and have it appear after a reload so dont worry about it . Thanks anyway .

[TheDarkWraith]

You're saying my supermarks and destroyed marks don't show up on map after reload? :hmmm:

[kylania]

You're saying my supermarks and destroyed marks don't show up on map after reload? :hmmm:

Mine haven't, however after getting another kill post reload they all show up again. Do we need to save a Journal first, then load it after reloading the save?

I'll test with a super mark right now.

Just killed a ship, then placed a SM on the map. Saved the game. Exit to main menu. Load save, and loaded what I just saved.

SH5 went 'Not responding' during loading (which it never does, takes foooorever, but doesn't lock up) after a bit it came back loaded the game and all the marks were gone. Placed a new SM and it was SM1.

I'll have to look into that then. Can you try something? Place a few supermarks on the map. If you're using real nav then ask for some celestial fixes and dead-reckoning fixes also. Save the journal and exit game. Open up \data\Applications\ShipsJournalEditorViewer.exe and open up your saved journal in it. There are boxes for supermarks and all. Do you see your marks in the boxes?

[kylania]

Yup, saving the journal worked fine and they were visible on the viewer.

Reloading the saved game cleared the marks. However when I went into Journal and Opened the one I saved, they marks reappeared.

I'm guessing that's what you expect to happen. So from a user standpoint can the journal save itself and load itself based on save somehow? Or do we need to manually save/load journals?

And how do the destroyed marks reappear like they do?

Just shot down a plane. Didn't get any message about killing it, but I did get the message about the ship I sunk earlier and that DM reappeared on my map. The other two and the plane did not, because of a campaign issue I think.

The journal will ask you if you want to save changes if you exit the game normally (to main menu and not to desktop - hence the warning box I made). This is the 'automatic' saving part of it. When you load a save game it all depends on a couple of things:
- are you loading the previous game you saved?
- if so and under Ship's Journal in main menu if it doesn't say None then it will have already loaded the journal specified under Ships Journal before showing the main menu.
- If you're loading some other save game and the date is earlier than your last saved one then anything after the current date will be erased (provided you save changes when you exit the game).

So this 'automatic' loading should render all your previous marks. If this is not happening then I have a bug I need to figure out.

The destroyed marks are saved to your journal also. They are loaded/saved just like the other marks are. You can view the destroyed marks in the ShipsJournalViewer app also to verify they are being saved.

[ETsd4]

Supermarks work fine. I am using it extensively. If a log is further used, the SMs stay on the map.

Edit: typo

[kylania]

Ok, I see what I was doing wrong. I hadn't selected a Journal from the main menu. That's why it wasn't loading properly. :) Now that I've saved and selected one to use it's working just great!

I also deleted the draggables.TDW files and that fixed my "stuck" clock thing. Yay!

[chopped50ford]

Okay, im lost on this one...which downloads do you need for this mod, so many and a link to a german web page...ugh.

Thanks for the help!:O:

[kylania]

This is basically the only one: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20784284/NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_TheDarkWraith_7z

Inside that 7zip file is a folder called NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith, inside that is a folder called MODS.

It's in MODS that you'll find the folders you'll want to move into your JSGME MODS folder. The only one you need is NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith which is the main mod.

For realism I'd highly suggest the NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_Real_Navigation folder be included as well. Removes all marks from the map and makes you sextant it up to figure out where you are (your Navigator can help with that too!) so it a lot more difficult than stock.

All the others are basically optional I'd say.

Also don't forget to use the SH5 Patcher (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433). That and the NewUIs are critical mods in my opinion. Also that sober says below! :)

[THE_MASK]

If you use real navigation you will also want Trevally auto scripts.

Just installed 6.8.0 and trying to load the options file with the editor. But i get an error when i try to load it:

Error:

"Invalid entry found.MIN value not a float
Line read was #VALUES=MIN|0.0 @ line number 110."


Sorry if this has been mentioned before. Tried searching this thread to no avail.

I have not edited or touched the file manually before this. It's straight from the rar file.

[kylania]

Make sure you edit the copy of the options file in the MODS folder and do so before actually activating the mod, or else you'll end up changing the values when you reactivate the mod later, if you do.

The problem may be because of my app and nothing dealing with you. Culture specifics always bite me in the you know what and this may be the case here since you live outside the US I see. Let me take a look at something and I might send you something to test here very soon....

Hi TheDarkWraith!

I've faced one issue that is not pleasant:cry::

I don't use MO but running few mods from it + NewUI + Dynamic Environment+Harbour Add.+OHII+mtns, and what I've mentioned there is no SUB Exhaust annimation at all. I've tried to insrall your's Sub_Exhaust v.1.0.5, but the game CTDs when loading to bunker. I've tried to put this mod at the beginning as well as at the end of my modlist, and the result was the same.
probably it is not compatible with some mods, but JSGME do not report any conflicts when applying this mod at all.
Tried many variants with starting the new career - unsuccessfully:damn:

So is it possible to merge this option with subexhaust into NewUi and how to do its compatability better?:ping:

Hi TDW:salute:

I had an odd message from WEPs after sinking a ship.
http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/2474/sunkt.jpg

I sunk 1 ship - the Uekel Med Comp as shown. This is correct.
You can see that the weps wrongly reported 4 ships sunk.

Also when I use the SOAN - I no longer can look at additional info

Thanks:up:

[kylania]

If you load a saved game and don't reload the ship journal specifically (even if you have it selected in the main menu) when you get your first kill of the newly loaded save game, ALL your previous kills come back and are updated on the map with DMs and in your log as you show there.

Hi guys

love this mode, just a quick question.
tried to search topic on how to add back u-boat mark on the map and how can I use old style waypoints when you click on your boat you can create waypoints to the destination. It will make it easier for travelling. But of course that's just me :)
I have seen this I think in TAI Features but they are disabled and not sure how to enable them.

If you could help that would be great.

EDIT: Well I have found that you need edit options.py file??
DESCRIPTION=Activate waypoint tool when sub is clicked but it does says True so I should be able to tick that box but I can't..

Any ideas?

Thanks!

TDW's NewUI has buttons in the top right corner which you can use to toggle Travel Mode, TC x1, Pause Game and filter out normal radio messages, radio contact messages, Contact messages from X distance and more! You can see those buttons in this picture (http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2950/sh5newui680.jpg).

Kylania, I'm sorry to say but it seems I need some tutorial on this.
I keep getting this dialogue;

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=5059

[kylania]

Yup, looks like the same "culture specific" error from a few pages ago (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093&page=537). Just PM TheDarkWraith and he can send you the fix. He's got a fix for that error, just doesn't look like he's released it publicly yet.

[rabiej]

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I have the new icons etc...

But I can't see my boat on the map.
Also I think I found that application and looked into the file but file looks fine.

Please look at the picture

You're using Real Navigation. The point of that mod is that you won't see your sub on the map! :) With Real Navigation not only is your ship not displayed but you cannot use waypoints like normal. You need to just issue a command to head in a certain direction and keep track of how long you've been traveling to know when to turn again. The new alarm clock feature (left click on the face of the watch) is extremely helpful for that.

You can talk to your Navigator to get an approximate location of your sub at anytime really. I also HIGHLY suggest using Trevally's scripts for RN. That way every 2 hours your navigator will automatically plot your location.

[rabiej]

Yes I know it is real navigation but though you can turn that option as per attached image 1 and 2.

Now you said that Real Navigation, I have looked again into mods that I have installed and noticed this as a seperate MOD. Disbaled and job done :)

Time to sink some tonnage

Thanks

I found the reason of error (why not worked the mod).

This mod contained multiple directory structure, and the JSGME not copied the files to destination locations (SilentHunter5\data dir) !!!
(Another mods by simple directory structure are working.)

The soulution is simple: manual copy of files... and its work...

(I think may be if the mod use the simple directory structure than the JSGME will be work... or was this error only for me?


Hi!

Don't work at me... I don't understand...
I serach the reason, and I run the OptionsFileEditorViewr.exe program.
1. Set the menu.txt to c:\Program Files (x86)\GAMES\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Menu\ menu.txt
2. Open the c:\Program Files (x86)\GAMES\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Scrip ts\Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py

And I get the error message:

Have you done any settings/changes in the NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Scripts\Menu \UserOptions.py file?
If so replace it with a default one from your download. :hmmm:

I have a question on the TDC Dials within the NewUI.
I'm doing manual targeting without the XO Screen. Finding my firing solution with the RAOBF and Attack Disk.

After I have turned on the TDC for input (The Green/Red button) I enter my values for Target Speed and AOB and submit those by clicking the red arrow button next to the dials, last I turn the range dial and lock the TDC again.

If I turn my Persicope/UZO now the dials for AOB,Bearing and Gyro change accordingly, but my range dial stays at the range I entered. Is that the correct behaviour or shouldn't the range dial turn/update as well?

[kylania]

Range only updates when you set it or use the standimeter.

Is there a position keeper button?:06:
If so, when using position keeper the TDC should continue to update as though visially tracking actual target.
If not, then TDC is static and you must plot for torpedo impact location and wait for target to reach torpedo firing position.

At least i don't see a position keeper button ,so I assume that the TDC is really static in relation of range and I'll have to calculate the distance manual while changing the persicope bearing.:arrgh!:

[kylania]

If you setup for the "fast 90" you don't have to work out much really. Once you have course and speed of your target, you're all set!

Just find a spot ahead of it and arrange your boat at a 90 degree angle to the ship's course. Then set your range to whatever it is, 700-1100m is usually a good distance. Set the ship's speed. Making sure your periscope is directly ahead of you (so at bearing 0) then set the AoB to be 90 (or -90 depending on the direction the ship is heading). What you'll be doing is pre-programming your TDC for a hit directly to the target's side just as it's directly ahead of you at 700m or whatever.

Then turn your scope towards the target till your gyroscope reads 000 (both arrows up). When the part of the ship passes your scope's wire at that point fire. Usually your scope will be at 340-350 or 10-20 depending on the direction the ship is coming from and it's speed. You'll hit the ship just as it passes your bow.

This works great for the front row of a convoy as well! You'll end up hitting each ship at the same time. Boom!

Hi TDW
having 3 issues with Automatation here. First of all Patch1 is applied.

From my readings of the last days, you're using DLL injection to invoke the function calls. So I'm using the Steam Version and that might be the case.

Third issue
the t time parameter value for waiting on the execution of the next automation call is doubled
i.e
Report_position_deadreckoning,0,0,0,0,0,0,300
Loop,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0
Should invoke a looped dead reckon fix every 5 minutes. But it is invoked every 10 minutes.
Ok update on the last issue, after having a closer look into the TheDarkWraithAutomation.py it's now clear how the loop command is handled and just adding a simple
Wait,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
at the beginning of the commands list will clear the additional wait time that was taken over into the next Loop.

Hello everyone,

I recently reinstalled SH5 (v.1.2.0) on Windows XP SP3 to give it another go..was disappointed when it had come out. After completing the tutorial mission and docking in Kiel, I used the JSGME and added the NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith mod (with patch 1). After adding the mod, I can see all the menu options and additional features, but for some reason I cannot choose my mission when at base..it does not show up on map when the guy gives me the overview of the story/next targets. When I ask to leave on patrol, the guy tells me "Are you sure you want to start a new patrol without choosing a mission?". These mission targets show up upon removing the mod. I don't have any other mods installed.

My specs Intel 2.4GHz, 12GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4670 256MB VRAM.

Sorry if this has been answered already;I have tried searching the forum for the following, but could not find meaningful results.

Thank you for your help.

Hi!

I found a bug:

https://picasaweb.google.com/Zs4zet/Temp#5669795696725814498https://picasaweb.google.com/Zs4zet/Temp#5669795696725814498https://picasaweb.google.com/Zs4zet/Temp#5669795696725814498

(Sorry, I don't know how capture the screen in SH5.)

Normally is good, generally (always) good with the teleport function.
If I shoot the deck gun, and I was in the optic of cannon before the teleport /as in picture/) and I teleport to bridge, or uzo, after teleport back to deck gun I get often this picture.
If I not shoot the cannon, and teleport out and in, then not (is correct). I get picture always after the shoot with the deck gun, and after teleport (from optic view), and back teleport (to optic of cannon)

I use Emtgulf scopes with 16:9 patch, I don't know, this is teleport or scopes bug, but I found this bug only the deck gun.

Thanks!
The TDW UI really great work!

Ps. sorry my poor english...

Hey all I was wondering if anyone can help me with trying to get the snorkel working. I have just installed 'NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith' + patch,
At the end of TheDarkWraith's documentation it says
"- snorkel has been disabled (a leading ; added to each field in it's .sns file for the snorkel entry) for each player's sub
So I went into each sub folder and removed ; from the text as explained, still no snorkel :(

I was wondering if there was a more detailed explanation as to how to get it back.

Amazing work with this mod, loving the game.

Might be a stupid question, but where can I download this from ? NewUI+TDC 3.0.0 as I can't find it anywhere! hope someone can help.

I'm looking into these reports along with the supermarks and destroyed marks not showing immediately upon save game load :up:

As far as the previous automation scripts not starting, is the path shown to the file the path to your SH5 folder? I read this value from your system's registry. If what the registry tells me is different from where the actual location of SH5 is then it will never work.

[TheDarkWraith]

Made a new journal for new campaign. Started a new test campaign (Total Germany). Made some supermarks on the way out of the harbor. Went over to the east coast of Britain and sunk 5 warships (that was all I could find :cool:). Saved game. Was back in main menu. Loaded previously saved game. All supermarks and destroyed marks appeared instantly like they should. Exited game to desktop. Restarted game and loaded previously saved game. All supermarks and destroyed marks appeared instantly like they should. I can't reproduce this 'bug' that some users reported of where the supermarks/destroyed marks don't show on save game load until you destroy a unit :hmmm: How many of you are experiencing this 'bug' :06:

@Trevally - additional info works for me in SOAN.

All ships sunk also were reported in my journal.

Only mod enabled was v6.8.1 of my UIs mod (the patch).

Looking into the other bugs/errors reported now.

[Marduk11]

If you have other mods installed remove them all except for the UIs mod. See if snorkel works. If it does then a mod is overwriting one of my modified GR2 files that makes the snorkel work. If it still doesn't work I'd like to see your .sns file that you removed the leading ;s from.

Thank you so much, I do have quite the Mod Soup so I'll strip it and as you suggest.
Again Thank You So Much!!

[kylania]

:hmmm: How many of you are experiencing this 'bug' :06:

You can see it happen here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CZTia1dCww#t=15m08s

Watch the message box as he sinks the destroyer, all his previous kills show up at that point.

At 1:16 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CZTia1dCww#t=1m16s) into the video you can see he shows no kills near Amsterdam even though the last time he played that save game there was like 8 kills in that harbor. However if you check the map at 26:37 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CZTia1dCww#t=26m37s), after the destroyer kill, you'll see the map has now populated with all his previous saved game kills.

I'm fairly certain that he didn't choose a specific Ships Journal from the main menu however and not sure that he's exiting to Main Menu and saving the ships journal each time though, but that's the effect people are seeing.

[Marduk11]

If you have other mods installed remove them all except for the UIs mod. See if snorkel works. If it does then a mod is overwriting one of my modified GR2 files that makes the snorkel work. If it still doesn't work I'd like to see your .sns file that you removed the leading ;s from.

Hi TDW!

I learn the manual targeting from tutorial, at earlier version (6.5) and at the script 2. starting significantly crashed.

Now I like to learning the RAOBF from tutorial. I saw, the the 6.8 is crashing... and now I prepare to crash, and start the dbgview.exe

If I like to back to previous message, I don't know, no prev button, than I press the stop button in RAOBF practice dialog, an stop button in Automation dialog. After press start button in Automation dialog. Crash immediately, or shortly.

The dbgview log write, at end of file:
00001939 1113.39587402 [3616] class AutomationScriptInFile(RAOBF_Practice).Start
00001940 1114.52893066 [2900] Entities.cpp (83): Process Message:

This is easy to repeat... at every second starting of script comming soon...

[Zs4zet]

And a another standard teleport symptom:

After I load the saved game. I'm in the bridge. I teleport to any periscope and beginning the astral voyage (levitation top of the sub). This happens always.
If I walk to the station (attach periscope, deckgun, flack) after the program sense myself, and working the teleport correctly (except previously deckgun bug).

The another face of this bug:
(After loading) I'm walking, after teleport to periscope, this already ok, but after I press Esc button I found myself the bridge.

I think, the program after of loading don't initialize the captain position, or was not saved the position? because after I arrive the first location (deckgun, attach periscope etc.) the program know it, and after work correctly.

[Trevally.]

@Trevally - additional info works for me in SOAN.

Thanks TDW - I must have an error my side:up:

[holymans]

Thanks TDW for looking into this issue. Is there anything that I can send to you from my end?

Is it possible in the next version of UI MOD, when I click with Mouse cursor on the enemy Ship Name in Periscope (after the ship is from my Officer identified), that SOAN open directly on the right ship page? Currently I must after identified the ship manually search it in SOAN (click through the pages from SOAN to find the correct ship).

I think you as an "old" SH3 Modder (RB) you know this from SH3. When I click in SH3 on enemy ship name, the SOAN open directly the correct pages with the right ship!

You know what I mean?

Best regards,
Magic

Excellent idea. Should be able to implement :up:

That's great, I'd love to see that in the next version.

Let's discuss how this is going to work. If SOAN is not open then I'm going to do nothing. If SOAN is open then I will have it 'flip' to the correct unit.

Now there's one tricky part to this: I can only get the name of the identified unit if you are in a scope view. Thus another stipulation is you have to be in a scope view for it to automatically 'flip' to correct unit.

Now we'll see if I can make this work :up:

[kylania]

That sounds perfectly reasonable however I might even have it automatically open the SOAN (well, Charts and SOAN) then pick the page since you won't ID a ship unless you wanted to look it up in the SOAN, right? Otherwise you'll ID it, forgot to have opened the SOAN first, then have to manually look it up - exactly what we wanted to avoid. :)

This is reasonable. There is only one small problem: what if SOAN is closed and dragged off to the left of the screen with only it's tab showing? I can have it 'open' itself but you'll still have to drag it out from the left side of the screen.

Ahhh, right. :oops: Guess I'm used to the old SH3 system where it would center and open. Even opened and then having to drag would be useful though I guess. :)

just noticed a major bug in the destroyed marks. When a destroyed mark is created it was also creating a new nav fix (if real nav was enabled) :nope: Nobody ever noticed this? :06:

[TheDarkWraith]

For those wanting to test out the new changes so far it's available here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20961537/NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith_Test_zip

This has to be enabled after v6.8.0. Say yes to all conflicts in JSGME

NOTE: backup your ship's journal before enabling this! I haven't finalized v7 of the ship's journal format yet :DL

v6.9.0 - (Real nav only) fixed bug of when destroyed mark was created a new nav fix was also created
- (Real nav only) all marks no longer show nautical time and GMT time. They show the time the digital clock mode is set to (Naut or GMT)
- (Real nav only) changing digital clock mode (Naut or GMT) will automatically update all marks with new timestamp
- Changing digital clock mode (Naut or GMT) will change the timestamps in the messagebox and the ship's journal
- Ship's journal current version is now v7
- While editing a mark the ability to switch clock mode (Naut or GMT) is disabled

I'll work on the SOAN changes tomorrow :up:

Have difficulties to set up real navigation with v6.9.0_test.
First v.6.9.0_test and then real_navigation_6_8_0
gives me a mix of real nav and GPS-navigation. The other way around is the same result. For the test i think you should additional add part real_navigation_6_9_0_test.

In GPS-navi:
The initial phrase when loading a mission "Navigator calulate my current position Lat xxx and Long yyy" is missing here.

In real navigation:
"Navigator calulate my current position Lat xxx and Long yyy" was in GMT time the rest of journal/log messages was in local time. (actual i could easily do without this message when in real navigation)

Didnt know how to change the clock. A mouse-over-info for the clock "how to set u-boat-jagd chrono, how to change clocktime etc" would be nice.
To see supermarks only with one timestamp was nice. If i am correct it was in local time. GMTtime for real navigation would be nice.



Had difficulities to set up the time (intervall or GMT-time) via mouse for the alarm-clock. But i had the same difficulites at v6_8_0 so this is not related to v6.9.0_test.

The first one where message was in GMT time as an error on my part. I've fixed it. Thanks for the bug report :up:

The digital clock should display a tooltip when you mouse over it. The tooltip says to click it to change modes (Naut or GMT)

You can have either GMT or Naut time for any of the marks (it's based on what the clock mode is)

[Rongel]

I had the same problem that Trevally mentioned, that the Additional info button doesn't work in Soan.

I'm not sure what is causing it, because some people have reported it works... Mod soup conflict?

I'll have to look through the code to see how I was doing those. That way I can tell you what to look for to see where the problem is :up:

EDIT:

It's looking for the currentshipfolder\\currentship.ait. If it finds this .ait then you will be able to see additional info.
Is the additional info link active in SOAN (are you able to click it)? If so, what happens when you click it? What does the DbgView output say?

I hope I'm not out of order here! If I am I apologise.
I have a problem with the XO Torpedo Officer Box stuck in the middle of my scope when I want to fire torpedoes. Is the box draggable to another position?
As I cannot seem to move mine and it's very annoying. So was just wondering if I could edit something to move it if it is not draggable.
Hope you do'nt mind me asking this. Awesome mod by the way.
Thanks for all you're Help:yeah::salute:

Use the options file editor/viewer (\data\Applications) and go to XO TDC tab. You'll find what you're wanting there :up:

[TheDarkWraith]

I'm not at home computer right now, so can't run the DbgView... I have the text in SOAN that reads "Additional Info" just like before, but now that I click it, nothing happens.

I've added some debug output for this. If SOAN tries to read the additional info and the file is not found it's going to output where it tried to read the file from. This should help narrow down what's wrong.

I've also added more debug output for the marks that don't appear at save game load for some users. For those users the marks reappear after first kill. If this happens to you using v.6.9.0 test I need to see the full DbgView output.

I'll be posting a new test version here soon for v6.9.0. I've fixed many bugs in all the changes I've done and those reported (about the changes)

[warrior007]

Thank you for the reply but I dont have any tabs in my viewer apart from File? do I have to move the viewer out of that folder somewhere else?
Ok Ignore this msg I thing I found it in you're .psy file and changed value to True. I hope that is correct?.
Really appreciate everything you are doing to make this game work as it should.
In my book people like yourself are rare.
if was in person now would shake you're hand sir. Thank You Very much

Hi TDW!

I´m very glad that you like my suggestion! :up:

Another question is in this context, can we have a new UserOption, for example:

"Is SOAN/Charts enable (tab showing) at Game/Savegame Start (Yes/No)"

If yes, then I always see at the left side on the screen the Tab from charts and SOAN and I can easy it dragged in to the middle of the screen and then I can click on the name of the identified unit and SOAN flip to the correct unit! :yep:

Is this UserOption possible?

[holymans]

Nevermind..my problem was resolved. I completely removed the game and all mods, installed it and re-downloaded the mod. Working like a charm! Great work! Thanks!



I recently reinstalled SH5 (v.1.2.0) on Windows XP SP3 to give it another go..was disappointed when it had come out. After completing the tutorial mission and docking in Kiel, I used the JSGME and added the NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith mod (with patch 1). After adding the mod, I can see all the menu options and additional features, but for some reason I cannot choose my mission when at base..it does not show up on map when the guy gives me the overview of the story/next targets. When I ask to leave on patrol, the guy tells me "Are you sure you want to start a new patrol without choosing a mission?". These mission targets show up upon removing the mod. I don't have any other mods installed.

Thank you for your help.

If WEPS identifies the target and this new user option is True then:

I don't see why you can't at anytime. The ship's journal is now at v7 format so it will automatically convert your old journal to the new version. Nothing has changed that impacts a campaign. All the changes are cosmetic in nature (to the game). Yes, you should be fine :up:

Thanks for the report :up: Can you do a little test for me? Find any value that is a float (has a decimal point) and change it's value. I recommend using the most fuel efficient speed (under the Fuel tab). Change it's value to say 10 and save the change (File-->Save). Close the app. Reopen the app and open your options file and ensure there are no errors while it's opening it.
Did you notice that I fixed the app in the regards that it shows numerical formatting in your specific culture? For Europeans this means the American symbol for denoting decimal places (.) now shows the correct symbol for you all (,)

Third issue
the t time parameter value for waiting on the execution of the next automation call is doubled
i.e
Report_position_deadreckoning,0,0,0,0,0,0,300
Loop,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0
Should invoke a looped dead reckon fix every 5 minutes. But it is invoked every 10 minutes.
Ok update on the last issue, after having a closer look into the TheDarkWraithAutomation.py it's now clear how the loop command is handled and just adding a simple
Wait,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
at the beginning of the commands list will clear the additional wait time that was taken over into the next Loop.

This really irked me as that is not how it's supposed to be working (you shouldn't have to add another command to make it work correctly). Upon looking back over my Automation code I saw a big fat error in the Update method dealing with the loop command. That error tells me why you were having to do this. When the loop command was encountered it was automatically setting the command index to 0 AND then setting the timer to command 0's wait time :nope: That is incorrect. I've changed the code to do what I intended it to do.
This change results in the loop command now having a t time that can be specified and it being the ONLY command who's t time is used when it's the last command (all other commands t time is ignored when they are the last command).
Now when a loop command is encountered the Update method will set the timer to the loop command's t time then it will update the command index to 0 (first command). That is how it was supposed to be working all this time.

I've updated Automation's documentation to reflect this:

; Loop,x,0,0,0,0,0,t - loop this automation script x times before stopping. If x = -1 then it will loop forever until stopped by user. NOTE: if this is the last command it's t time WILL be considered

this was a hard one to figure out :shifty: I see why it does this now and it's because of my error. When I'm grabbing the weather info there's a chance that it could try to read a journal entry that it's not supposed to read (incorrect journal entry type). I will correct this :up:

v6.9.0 test 3 available for testing here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20966295/NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith_Test_3_zip

This should fix all the errors that have been reported now. Let me know if there are any new ones (hopefully not).

The quicker we can validate this the quicker I can release this new version. v6.8.0 needs to be replaced quickly due to the errors/bugs in it :-?

- fixed bug in Automation dealing with the loop command. Bug was when loop command was encountered it was setting the command index to 0 (start of commands) and setting the timer to command 0's wait time. Then when command 0 was executed the timer was set to command 0's wait time again. The fix for this has resulted in Automation's Wait command now being able to specify a t time. This fix also results in the Wait command being the ONLY command in Automation who's t time will be considered when it's the last command.
- fixed bug when an Automation command would 'request' weather info the script would stop

just looked in Win7 control panel-->Region and Language and for Czech your decimal seperator is the , so I'm a little baffled currently...

EDIT2:

Set my computer to Czech via the Region and Language. Fired up the options editor app and everything works correctly. Were you making those changes in the .py file itself or using the app? The .py file will ALWAYS have US region values in it, that's how I designed it. You are supposed to use the options editor/viewer to make any changes now so as to avoid errors in the options file.

thought you would :up:

I'm thinking of expanding the options editor/viewer to allow it to enable/disable the snorkel. I've had MANY PMs about how to enable/disable it (even though my documentation states how to do it). Good or bad idea? :06:

[Sartoris]

I recently reinstalled SH5, and while I was setting up my mod soup I simply copied the old file from NewUI (the one with all the custom options - btw. it's extremely easy to customize the UI, thanks for that!). That file had been used in the previously installed copy of SH5, and since I didn't feel like customizing the file all over again I just took it out of the mod folder, downloaded NewUI again, and put it in its folder (copy and replace). Is it okay to do that?

Very bad idea!! Use the options migrator app found in \data\Applications to migrate old options to new options file :up:

[Sartoris]

Ah, I see, thank you. Maybe that's the reason I'm having trouble with the hydrophone (as I mentioned in the other thread)...

[TheDarkWraith]

Ah, I see, thank you. Maybe that's the reason I'm having trouble with the hydrophone (as I mentioned in the other thread)...

Could be, could not be. Never ever overwrite an options file that comes with every new version of the mod with an old one. Always use the options migrator. That options file is the central nervous system of the entire mod. Without it the mod ceases to function. Things are always changing in it from version to version :up: What the registry is to Windows is what the options file is to this mod.

[Sartoris]

The one I used was from the same version (6.8.0), so I just thought I was safe. But I'll follow your advice in the future.

Do you know if it's possible to damage the core game files by activating and deactivating mods in JSGME too many times? I always try to deactivate them one at a time, but my last installed copy got damaged somehow so I reinstalled because I assumed too much modding might have broken it.

[Sartoris]

Also, since you were kind enough to help me out, could you tell me in which order I should put these mods: IRAI, FX, NewUI. I tried putting them in that order, as you can see in my thread about the hydro, but Silent Steel suggested I put IRAI after NewUI, so I'm not sure any more. I have all the latest versions.

[THE_MASK]

When i start a new campaign i uninstall the mods via jsgme . Then i uninstall SH5 then patch to 1.2 , then reinstall the mods . I dont touch jsgme after starting a campaign . No ctds .

JSGME 'hiccups' occasionally on me also. I keep a backup copy of my Silent Hunter 5 folder on my server when this happens so reinstalling is a snap :yep:

Overwriting with the same options file from the same version is safe and ok. Different versions is a no-no.


Updated the Options Viewer/Editor so that you can enable/disable the snorkel for any sub from it. This applies only to my UIs mod.

There is a new entry under File - Set SH5 install path... You must first set the path to your SH5 install if you want to be able to enable/disable snorkel

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=526&pictureid=5088

You can test it here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20968492/OptionsFileEditorViewer_v_1_0_22_0_Test_zip

Working on this automatic watchofficer thing now...

[TheDarkWraith]

I tried putting them in that order, as you can see in my thread about the hydro, but Silent Steel suggested I put IRAI after NewUI, so I'm not sure any more. I have all the latest versions.

All of these mods share some common files between them. I sometimes update one or more of these common files on a mod release. If I don't specify in the documentation then the latest mod needs to be enabled last. Usually this is my UIs mod.

[Sartoris]

Excellent news! I'll be following your work on the watch officer.:up:

I didn't know you could do that: just copy the SH5 folder and paste it over the old one if the old one gets corrupted in any way? I'll have to try that next time everything falls apart.:)

[TheDarkWraith]

Won't take me very long at all to finish up this watch officer thing :yep: Should be done here very soon.

When mine corrupts I delete the whole SH5 folder from my HD. Then I copy the folder from my server to my HD. Reinstall mods and continue on :up:

[TheDarkWraith]

Okay after a little thought on this watch officer thing here's what I've decided:

we have the following options under Time Compression:

#;###################################### Time compression ########################################
#[OPTION]
#CATEGORY=Time compression
#TYPE=6
#DESCRIPTION=Time compression level at which the TCx on constant distance is enabled (this will change the time compression level to a pre-determined level when a contact gets inside a specified radius around the sub if the current time compression level is greater than or equal to this value)
#VALUES=MIN|1
#DEFAULT=1024
#; the TC level at which the TCx on contact distance is enabled (this will change the TC level to a pre-determined level when a contact gets inside a specified radius around the sub if the current TC level is greater than or equal to this value)
#; below in powers of 2 only!
TCxOnContactDistanceEnabledTCLevel = 1024

#[OPTION]
#CATEGORY=Time compression
#TYPE=2
#DESCRIPTION=The radius around the sub to determine when to set time compression level to TCxOnContactDistanceTCLevel when time compression value is greater than 1 and TCxOnContactDistanceEnabled is True
#VALUES=MIN|0.0
#DEFAULT=8000.0
#; when at TC > 1 and TCxOnContactDistanceEnabled is enabled (True) then this is the radius around your sub to determine when to set TC level to TCxOnContactDistanceTCLevel
#; below in meters
TCxOnContactDistanceRadius = 8000.0

#[OPTION]
#CATEGORY=Time compression
#TYPE=6
#DESCRIPTION=Time compression level to set when TCxOnContactDistanceEnabled is True and contact is inside the TCxOnContactDistanceRadius
#VALUES=MIN|1
#DEFAULT=1
#; the TC level to set when TCxOnContactDistanceEnabled is enabled (True) and contact is inside the TCxOnContactDistanceRadius
#; below in powers of 2 only!
TCxOnContactDistanceTCLevel = 1


I'll add a new user option called WatchOfficerCheckForContantsOnTCxSet. It will default to disabled (False). This user option will be found under the Automatics tab.
I'll use the user option TCxOnContactDistanceEnabledTCLevel as the trigger. If WatchOfficerCheckForContantsOnTCxSet is enabled (True) and TCxOnContactDistanceEnabledTCLevel triggers TC level change to TCxOnContactDistanceTCLevel then the watch officer will automatically check for contacts IF you are surfaced. If you are submerged then nothing happens.

[Sartoris]

Won't take me very long at all to finish up this watch officer thing :yep: Should be done here very soon.

Very cool!:up:

I was also wondering if the same could be done with the hydro guy if you're traveling underwater and the TC suddenly drops. I don't think the hydro guy ever tells me what caused the TC drop, I have to ask him to look for contacts, so maybe something similar could be done with him.


/ snip /

Woah! That was fast. A wizard at work! :D

ok it's been coded. I forgot that there is a command for the sonarman to report nearest contact so if you are submerged then this command will be invoked. If you are surfaced then the watchofficer will report nearest contact.

Testing changes now...

EDIT:

everything works perfectly for surfaced or submerged. Have to update documentation and then new test version will be available.

Also while working on this the TCxOnContactDistanceEnabledTCLevel is always enabled I noticed. I never put an on/off switch for it. That explains why some people have this phantom TC1 at times.

v6.9.0 test version 4 available here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20968715/NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith_Test_4_zip

All the stipulations of the previous test versions apply.


v6.9.0 - (Real nav only) fixed bug of when destroyed mark was created a new nav fix was also created
- (Real nav only) all marks no longer show nautical time and GMT time. They show the time the digital clock mode is set to (Naut or GMT)
- (Real nav only) changing digital clock mode (Naut or GMT) will automatically update all marks with new timestamp
- Changing digital clock mode (Naut or GMT) will change the timestamps in the messagebox and the ship's journal
- Ship's journal current version is now v7
- While editing a mark the ability to switch clock mode (Naut or GMT) is disabled
- added a new user option. This user option will control the auto enabling of the charts and opening SOAN to identified unit upon WEPS-->Torpedo attack-->Ship identification order given. Default value is disabled (False) (AutoEnableChartsOpenSOANToIdentifiedUnit)
- added a new user option. This user option will control the enabling of the charts upon entering a scope station (attack, obs, or UZO). Default value is disabled (False) (AutoEnableChartsOnScopeStation)
- revised Ship's journal viewer app to new ship journal version (v7)
- revised TDWSOAN.DLL for support of new user option AutoEnableChartsOpenSOANToIdentifiedUnit
- (Real nav only) added more debug output at game start when all the marks are created to try and figure out why some users marks don't show until a kill is made
- added more debug output to SOAN to try and figure out why some users Additional info button on SOAN doesn't work
- fixed bugs in OptionsFileEditorViewer app relating to culture specifics
- added a new user option. This user option will control the disabling of the charts when leaving a scope station (attack, obs, or UZO). Default value is disabled (False) (AutoDisableChartsOnScopeStationLeave)
- fixed bug in Automation dealing with the loop command. Bug was when loop command was encountered it was setting the command index to 0 (start of commands) and setting the timer to command 0's wait time. Then when command 0 was executed the timer was set to command 0's wait time again. The fix for this has resulted in Automation's Wait command now being able to specify a t time. This fix also results in the Wait command being the ONLY command in Automation who's t time will be considered when it's the last command.
- fixed bug when an Automation command would 'request' weather info the script would stop
- added a new user option. This user option will have the watch officer report nearest visual contact (if surfaced) or sonarman report nearest sound contact (if submerged) when TCxOnContactDistanceEnabledTCLevel is triggered. Default value is disabled (False) (WatchOfficerCheckForContantsOnTCxSet)
- added the ability to enable/disable snorkel from the options editor/viewer app

:|\\

[THE_MASK]

I have this.
WatchOfficerCheckForContantsOnTCxSet = True#False

[TheDarkWraith]

I have this.
WatchOfficerCheckForContantsOnTCxSet = True#False

:haha: I left my testing in. It's ok, that means it's enabled from the start for the test version. I'll update the mod though :up:

[torr]

.............
EDIT2:

............ Were you making those changes in the .py file itself or using the app? .............

a,in TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file
- set parameter MostFuelEfficientSpeed = 10
- OptionsFileEditorViewer OK and value = 10,00

b,c
...............

d,only work with OptionsFileEditorViewer
- if set parameter MostFuelEfficientSpeed 10 or 10,00 - OK
- if set parameter MostFuelEfficientSpeed 10.00 - error


ad) a,b,c change parameter only TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py
ad) d change parameter only OptionsFileEditorViewer

change TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py via app Wordpad

[Sartoris]

Thank you, TDW! I'll try using the updated mod as soon as possible.:rock:

[Sartoris]

Is it possible to play with no contacts on, but still have friendly contacts visible on the map? I find it's easier to use wolfpacks that way, and it also helps me not to ram into a friendly unit when I forget to pay attention. :D

If this is not possible, would you be able to make an additional mod for this?

Unfortunately the game doesn't tell you if the contact is enemy or friendly (via python code) and the same symbols are used for both. Thus it's either no symbols or symbols.

OK, well thanks for looking into it anyway.:up:

You'll have to forgive me for being new to sh5 modding if I've missed something simple.

With the snorkel raised, my co2 level still raises. Is this supposed to be the case? Or, have i messed something up?

Welcome to the forum doomguy :salute:

Save the game.
Exit to main menu.
Reload the game.

Usually this does the trick. :up:

[doomguyjack101]

Holy spleh, that was a fast response. I'll give the reload trick a shot.
And, by the way, outstanding bit of modding work.

Cheers!

[Claudius]

Is the first time that I will use v6.9.0 test version 4, can use right only the version beta? Do I follow instructions of the video version 3.0.0?


Would it be possible to create this MOD in form of executable facilitating the installation? It is a suggestion to help the beginners.

Congratulations for the dedication.

[TheDarkWraith]

Is the first time that I will use v6.9.0 test version 4, can use right only the version beta? Do I follow instructions of the video version 3.0.0?

Yes only the testing (beta) version is available if you want to try the latest and greatest. If you want the released version you have v6.8.0 (and patch) available at post #1

I don't know what video version you are referring to so I can't be of much help. There is an app included in \data\Applications that allows you to edit the options file via a GUI. This is the preferred method of changing the user options now.


Finally got the destroyed marks not appearing at save game load bug to finally rear it's ugly head. Now I have to figure out why it's doing this :DL

EDIT:

ok it makes sense now. If you are not using a journal then this bug appears. If you are using a journal then the destroyed marks always appear at save game load. Now I just have to adjust the code for those not using a journal

[TheDarkWraith]

bug of destroyed marks put to rest :up:

Now for an interesting idea I have been playing around with: simulating failures of key equipment. Basically what I do is if the random chance says x piece of equipment has failed I make it so you can't interact with it (you can't click it to activate it or teleport to it). It's basically dead until repaired/fixed. A random time would be assigned until the unit is deemed repaired/fixed at which time it's usable again. The key pieces of equipment I'm considering are:
- UZO
- obs scope
- attack scope
- radar station
- hydrophone station
- deckgun (if installed)
- flak gun 1 (if installed)
- flak gun 2 (if installed)
- binocular (might not be able to do this one but trying)

What do you all think of the idea? I can assign new user options to control the max failure rate and max time to repair :hmmm:

Also figured out how to tell if deckgun, flak 1, and flak 2 are installed on sub so I'm going to add the ability to teleport to flak 2 in the teleport bar

[oakdesign]

I recognized this behaviour just when I started a few weeks ago to find my mod soup, installing deinstalling and testing different mods.
I always thought the case with the missing marks without journal:
It's not a bug it's just a missing feature:up:

[kylania]

simulating failures of key equipment.

As long as it's entirely optional, sure. :)

Maybe try it how it was in SH3 I think, where if your scope is "broken" it's unbearable fuzzy (just an overlay like a new scope or something? if that can be done on the fly) instead of "I can't seem to use this at all!" For the hydrophone the background noise could be changed or something, the guns could take much longer to rearm or jam or something?

Like the idea of the periscope going fuzzy....that should be easy enough to implement. The hydrophone I just nailed down where the volume 'lives' in the sh5.exe so now I have to add code to change it's value on the fly (in-game). The guns I haven't found yet in the .exe or .act files...

Hello.
I need support in matter of this mod.
I have polish version of SH5, ver 1.2
I have installed mods in this order:

RealEnvironment3
FX_Update
New UI
New UI patch
(now list of additions from UI: maptools, etc.)
IRAI
Trevally Automated Scripts

First problem (minor) is that after instal of New UI, main menu into game changes to english.
Second problem (critical) is that i don't see any changes in interface during mission (no faces, no icons) and when i use periscopes (both) game crashes (skip to desktop).

To install this mods, i used JSGME.
JSGME is in main sh5 folder. Folder with mods is default one.
Can you give me some hints?
Best regards.

Welcome tot he forums!

Make sure you're installing the NewUI correctly. The zip file it comes in is NOT supposed to be extracted to MODS and loaded like other mods, you need to extract it elsewhere, do into the folder it created, go into the MODS folder under there and copy over whatever options you want into your JSGME MODS folder then activate them. Bare minimum you need would be the 6.8.0 folder and it's separately downloaded patch.

Den dobre and welcome to the forum Sluter

* First problem; to get Polish in your Main Menu do this;
- Go to this folder in the mod; NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\Text\Polish (see the picture below)
- Copy the 'menu.txt' file
- Paste this into;
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Menu (let it overwrite)

* Second problem; CTDs (Crash To Desktop) are common if the game is not properly updated to version 1.2.0 so check that you're updated to v1.2.0 =>
In the Main menu top right corner there is a figure it should be 1.2.0.
If it is not -
Run the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe
(Or just run it once again to see if it updates the game)

* To enable mods your Silent Hunter 5 folder should look like this;
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS (this MODS folder is created when you run JSGME for the first time after install)

* ALL mods must have this structure; "Name of the mod'\data (see picture below)

* To get the NewUIs TDC running do this (all New UIs TDC have the same structure as the NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith and look like this when you download them);

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=5091

Here is a suggestion for your list;

FX_Update
New UI
New UI patch
(now list of additions from UI: maptools, etc.)
IRAI
Trevally Automated Scripts
Dynamic Environment (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=182377&highlight=Dynamic+environment) - replace the ' RealEnvironment3' with this one

In the following folders you find .dds files - open them to see what the mod changes to.


Wouldn't hurt to know what software opens those .dds

[sluter]

Silent Steel, all works just like you said.
This is strong support.

[Magic1111]

Wouldn't hurt to know what software opens those .dds

IrfanView can open .dds Files for view:

PaintNet can handle .dds Files and e.g. convert into .tga format or vice-versa and other things....!

[PapaKilo]

Very well, I needed to update irfan view to see the .dds.

Another question that strongly bothers me is:

Is there a realism based supermod that includes full campaign 1939-1945 ?

as well ass all the realism based fixes all in one mod working nicely together ?

As I'm the hardcore fan of SH3 knowing every detail about it, I'm a noob in SH5 since for long time this game gave me negative vibes due to many things it has/had.

For the same reasons I abandoned interest in SH5 mods, untill UBI announced it's the end for DRM in SH5.

So I'm strongly lacking behind at intell.

So the best way for me would be to see it as much simple as possible.

I see many things TDW has made for SH5, but I also see it like everything is chopped apart, (this is this, this is that) thus wondering why aren't they merged into say this mod itself, or the mod that is called a mega-mod by tdw ? At the end this situation leaves me guessing wether they are compatible or not ? I can see no sticked threads that would say like: "this mod is more or less trusted" or "this one looks like it has a long future" etc..
And now I come and see a salad of mods and it makes me wanna shut the door again :nope:
I somewhat miss the "lead me in" on whats happening.
================================================== ===

Personal POW:

The spirit is not the same as it was improving SH3 back at the time. You could see group of modders, expectations, timelines, teamwork, simple dialogues with ordinary users, understandable and immersive manuals.

No more of this here again.. sad.

I guess this happens when one man takes all the job onto his own shoulders and does it completly his own way..

Aggainst all the odds, my faded eyes behind tired eyelids tries to monitor things around this place, however with no passion left. Maybe I've seen too much or got too old, or because things are never the same again. :shifty:

[kylania]

Keep in mind SH5 is only a year and a half old. Silent Hunter 3 was released in March 2005 and GWX 3.0 didn't come out till December 2008, more than three and a half years later.

The main problem with SH5 development vs SH3 development is that mods, even the big ones, are currently having massive and drastic development happening to them. You can't really have a single all encompassing mega-mod like GWX till you're "done" really. Also from the looks of it, TDW is really close to making a working importer so that'll just open up even more options to consider.

So we still have a quite a lot to look forward to. Now that DRM has been relaxed a lot of the old guard from SH3 has been poking around SH5 and we can only hope they bring their experience to bear to new mods. Combined with the wonderful mod makers we currently have I'm sure there's still some amazing things yet to come.

So for now, try the MO "mega-mod" or the mod soup we're all using and look forward to (or even help design) the "finished product" we all want. :)

[Angelis]

Very good post, kylania!:up:

@ PapaKilo
Read this: List Your MOD Loadout/Order (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=173193)

That was very helpful for me.:)

[PapaKilo]

Thanks guys for the replies, though I think the right time still didn't come yet for me to jump over to modded SH5..

Something is holding me back, that I can't explain.

It's like hitting the wall while trying to make yourself think it's a peace of art, when actually you don't feel that way.

I have this dream<->reality collision with myself everytime I launch the SH5. I hope the time will change that.

Sorry, didn't ment to drive this thread offtopic.

Yes, you´re right, but before GWX3.0 was released, please note that it came earlier versions from GWX (1.xx/2.0/2.1) out! GWX3.0 was not the first release of this SH3-Super-MOD after more than 3 years since Release from SH3 in March 2005...! ;)

Click the chart's button (little highlighted button in the top right of this picture (http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/5815/secondo.png)) then drag it over from the left side of the screen, you'll see a small brass tab just below the torpedo door buttons.

You can see me access it in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MXE5Vm3Cgw#t=6m50s) as well.

Yep done that. I get the Flag Chart and the two speed charts, but no SOAN.

Hi TDW!

With Test version 5 enabled I can´t rotate the Attack-disc with Mousewheel anymore (yes, Attack-Dic is unlocked)!

Can you check this please!

And after each play appear a file called "ScopeSettings.TDW" on my HDD in partition D:\ ? (full path: D:\ScopeSettings.TDW)???

NOT in the Main Folder from game!

The path for the game-directory is: D:\Games\Silent Hunter 5

When I delete the file and play again (start the game), then after return to windows the file appear again, and always so on! What´s this for a file? And why appear the file in the path from my second HDD partion D:\ ?

When I open the file with notepad that´s the content of the file:

EDIT: Problem solved, had nothing to do with UI 6.8.0 or Test-Version 5 !!!!!!!!!!!

[kylania]

Yes I know. Its not there. Its very strange. I wondered if I need to turn something else on.

What version are you using? 6.8.0? It was added semi recently, so if you're using an older version you might not find it. (When I was looking for a screenshot I didn't have any, but did find quite a few where it was missing from an earlier version of NewUI.)

[Bat]

Yes I have 6.8.0 with the patch.

[Echolot]

Hi. Try removing the *****.Draggable.TDW files in your game directory.

After this you have to reposition your draggable items in your game.

Sorry mate you`ve lost me on that one. What Draggables? And how do you do that?

[Echolot]

Sorry, mate.

Take a look to your SilentHunter5 game directory, the same place the sh5.exe ist located.

With NewUIsTDC installed you will find some files like PageTDC_Draggables.TDW. The positions of draggable menu items are stored in these files. You can delete the files (maybe make a backup) and SH5 (NewUIsTDC) will make new ones. After deleting you have the default positions of draggable menu items and you can access the missed items.

I hope.

Regards.

Echol:oops:t.

[kylania]

Ahh! Good hint, I'd forgotten about that. I had to do that to fix my broken watch. And yeah, it's safe to delete all those draggable files since they only keep track of where on screen things will be.

[Loltak]

Hi, i just bought SH5 and put some mod :)
With this great UI i have just a small "problem", the keyboard layout change to QWERTY instead of AZERTY for me.
I know that i can change some of the shortcut made by this mod thanks to the "OptionsFileEditorViewer" but not the "moving key" (most annoying) and other binding.

As the command.cfg is not modified i suppose it's is due to an other "tweak" that perhaps i could change by myself?

Thanks.

EDIT : ok it seems the moving still working, it's just have overlapping function (or move A<=>Q S<=>W same move). , i can change somes but perharps not all
EDIT 2: with conjunction with SH_keymapper it seem i resolve most of my annoyance :).

Just a detail concerning the "OptionsFileEditorViewer", until i changed my dot "form" for number from "," to "." in the control panel regional setting, the program could not work as it did not recognise the number. It could be a helpful precision in the installation readme.

@ TDW and all:

Please note: My Problem had nothing to do with UI 6.8.0 or the Test-Version, it came from another MOD (MOD-Soup-Problem)!!!

So all ist clear and UI 6.8.0 and the Terst-version 5 works perfect!!!

Just out of curiosity which mod caused the conflict? :hmmm:

Hi TDW!

It was the "MTNS" MOD (v1.7i) from uekel, here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1652560&postcount=1

With V1.7h was all okay.

He has fixed it and now it works! :up:

I installed your testversion 5 and MTNS v1.7i at the same time and started my game. I thought the problems I idescribed comes from testverion5, but it was the MTNS MOD!

But now all is cleared and it works perfect!

Best regards,

Wheres test version 5?

Found it. Page 456.

[sirbum69]

TDW you say at the bottom of your mods file that if something overwrites the u-boat sensor files other then your fx update file then it will cause CTD. Question when i try to apply your own mod for no contact no sounds mod it trys to overwrite those files, Does this mean i will CTD at some point. I would think your own files would be compatable with your own mod.

Yes mine are compatible with my mods. Those are what I call 'shared' files that I keep track of between mods :up:

Thank you...Seems even tho i had the IRA no contact no hydro on surface going i was still getting Hydro contacts from my Hydro man. LOL...anyways I am going to go ahead and install the other now that you say its ok.

[thebeasle]

Thanks TDW. Your UI Mod has turned a game that was unplayable at release (IMHO) into a good SH game. I still play SH3 GWX a good bit, but I can't wait to see where the modding community takes SH5. Thanks!

[Commander Mysenses]

If the Attack Scope option is pre-set to "Minimal" when I go into the game and click on "All" I lose the graphic, but now when it disapears if I click anywhere on the screen where the graphic is supposed to be it will bring it back up and I can see everything until I click on "All" again.
------------------------
Well good news....I uninstalled SH5 completely and re-downloaded and installed (it's a Steam install) and my issues have cleared up.

Phew, it's not just me then!
http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o216/gadgetuk437/Subsim/SH5Img2011-11-14_172349.jpg
I tried the full re-install (CD version+1.20), to no avail. Am just using this mod alone ATM. I guess I can live with it, just set all scopes to a default of "Minimal" and resist the temptation to press the "All" button (otherwise I'll be hunting for the invisible buttons again, see screengrab).

In other news,
That XO is a bit of an attention seeker ain't he?
Does his message box need to be that big?
Setting the screen ratio to the correct 16:9 has made an improvement on this screengrab, but still somewhat intrusive. Making him draggable helps, but is there a shortcut key for closing the dialog?

[Loltak]

I think the small button with the face at the top of the screen will close the windows.
I will test this in 2 min, with my 19" i also need sometime to close this windows.

I take the opportunity to ask two question :)
I saw on an other post, that this mod included some tweak from/like Uboat Historical specifications.

It is for that reasons that passing between Standard propulsion and recharging mode take 5 min? I was thinking it was broken until i found that lol.

Also, the XO isn't able to solve the firing solution, so i need to find it myself, that is not so bad in fact ;).

[Trevally.]

is there a shortcut key for closing the dialog?

Press "l" and the xo box will move to bottom right corner and replace the notepad. Its not so bad down there:up:

The missing torpedo box appears to be a mod overwriting a dds file that I use or, even worse, overwriting one of the scope's .py file. Have you tried disabling all mods except for my UIs mod and seeing if the problem still exists? What version of my UIs mod is this?

Has anyone produced a manual for this mod? There are so many handy features, I could do with sitting down and reading about them. I've loaded it & tried using it several times but have been unable to work out how to fire my torpedoes at a target. I use automatic (not manual) targeting.

Hallo Magic,

Du siehst diese Kontakte da die Gruppenhorch-Anlage unter dem Wasserlinie Eingebaut ist. Hier kannst Du mehr lesen; http://www.cdvandt.org/GHG-AN301-Beschreibung.pdf

Hier ist ein Bild der Anlage;

Hallo Silent Steel!

Vielen Dank für Deine Antwort! Ich dachte, der MOD von TDW macht, dass dieses weg ist? Wofür ist der MOD "no contact no hydro on surface" denn sonst da?

Viele Grüße,
Magic

Hallo Magic,
Ich denke der Mod ist da nur um die Balkon und KDB Anlagen zu inaktivieren.
Das GHG bleibt ja unter der Wasserlinie aber ob es in Oberfläche Position funktionieren sollte kann Ich nicht sagen.
Sowieso, bei Mir funktioniert der Mod auf diese Weise.

Dear TheDarkWraith,

after a half year break I back on board and... met same issue:/
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1791855&postcount=418

So... If I`d like to learn again how to aim and shot the torps I should back to SH5 style, am I right in your .py file?

Best ragards,

Hi all

Tried to start game with your nice mod v680 several times but got always a crash to desktop. It always happens right after the SH5 loading screen has finished and the screen has switched to black color (already hearing kind of repeating sound).

Normally (without your mod) I can see the submarine base (game lobby) and can play without any issues.

Any ideas?

Running Win XP SP3, E8400, HD5850, 3 GB Ram

Maybe this will help:

Do you have any applications or services running that want exclusive use of the mouse? Look in your tray to see what icons you have there.

Also check your DirectX to make sure it's updated (go to Microsoft's website and run the web updater for DirectX)

3GB of RAM with that high end video card is not good. You might be running out of memory.

[Thenew1]

wow thats really fast! Thank you so much!!!!

Running Dx9.0c (newest version) but my mouse (and a special gaming pad named n52te) is using a specific software for dealing with scripts and commands. I will try to switch that off and use a standard mouse.

Will give u feedback a.s.a.p.

Again, thank you for the fast response!!!

Yes that button is a no-no. There are also some other buttons and sub-buttons that you should not press. I just looked through my documentation and it's not listed in it (I need to add it) but the buttons that cause problems are mentioned somewhere in this thread (somewhere towards the front). I'm looking for the post(s) currently...

Open the task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and click on the performance tab. Look at the available memory and memory used. Start game and watch those numbers dealing with memory. You are more than likely running out of memory (my UIs mod LOVES memory).

[Thenew1]

Actually I have 4GB installed but due to use of the 32 bit version of XP I am limited to 3,5GB or so. :-(((

Edit:
- I changed gfx settings to lowest (just to give it a try, maybe to save ram?) => still same problem with CTD
- I tried a fresh install of SH5 => still the same

Is it maybe a problem to use a different game path (e.g. D:\Games\SH5)?

Maybe I have to change my old XP 32bit to Win7 64bit?

I am really sad. Your mod is the most important mod for me. :cry:

Hi,

Suggestions to improve your system's performance;

As I run a Swedish version of Win7 I've below tried to translate the expressions to English but I hope you'll understand me despite this.

The quickest way to improve system usage is to;
- Clean your system, try to download CCleaner from the internet.
- Shut off as many other programs as possible when you play SH5 and\or
- Use your RAM as efficiently as possible i.e. adjust your virtual memory (page file) so go to;

A. Control panel\System\Advanced system settings\Advanced Tab\Performance\Advanced Tab\Virtual Memory, click 'Change'. Make a note of the settings here before you proceed.
Now we get to three most often debated setting options that you can choose from.

1. Set your own values. I'd think this is the option for you.
If you'd like to try this I suggest you first try to set
'Min' to 0.8 x 4 (your RAM 4 Mb) = 3.2 Mb and
'Max' to 1.5 x 4 = 6 Mb
The 'Max' value is most important as it decides the upper limit of how much virtual memory is allocated to your hard drive. The more RAM you've got the virtual memory can be decreased.
More RAM > Windows will need less virtual memory.
Try setting the 'Max' as low as possible.
You can even set both 'Min' and 'Max' to the same value thus forcing Windows to not jumping up and down when using the virtual memory.
When I had 4 Mb RAM I set this to 0.5 x RAM = 2 Mb and it worked fine for me.

Second option is;

2. Let Windows self decide the size of the virtual memory.
Most often Windows chooses to allocate more virtual memory than usually is necessary to your hard drive.
As the hard drive is much slower than the RAM this will most likely slow down your system.

The third option is;

3. To choose 'No Virtual Memory (page file)'
To choose 'No Virtual Memory\Page file' means your RAM will take care of 100 % of the memory usage.
The advantage is that your system uses the RAM only which is much faster than letting Windows use some of your hard drive which will slow down system performance.
The possible disadvantage in your case (4 Mb) is that it could lead to that you run out of memory and that warnings pop up telling you that your memory is low.
If this happens just go to 'A' above and enable the Virtual memory again.
'No Virtual Memory (Page File) is more demanding as it works best if you have a lot of RAM so I don't think this an option for you.

Regardless if you choose to try one of the options above or not you could clean up your virtual memory every time you shut your computer down.
You do it this way;
a) Make a search for 'regedit.exe'
b) Open it up
c) Go to;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management and open the string 'ClearPageFileAtShutdown'
Change the value to '1'.
Reboot.
When you now shut your system down your virtual memory/Page file will be cleaned and run faster next time you start your computer.

Hope something of this helps.
Regards

He should also try the 3GB switch since he's running XP 32bit :yep:

Oh yes, I forgot to mention it.

[Trevally.]

Oh yes, I forgot to mention it.

See here for info on the switch:- http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1751607&postcount=316

A point to note is this part :-

Even with the switch

play for a long time, pass through a lot of harbors etc, you might even exceed the 3GB limit. So CTDs are event possible with that switch, even though more seldom.

[Zs4zet]

I saw the CTD come for me, after the system slowed down, and this state exist until a time. Firstly, I not understand why.
I found, the virus guard systems has a big priority of task, and they randomly allocated system-resources, and hold back my system performance. Thus, before I start the game, I temporary disabled the virus guard software.

I not recommend this method without conditionally, because possible forget to turn on, but this was effective for me.

This could be a memory problem as well, please see my post 8250 above.

Thanks Silent Steel! :salute:
I shy, download+burn+run Memtest-86, but not found any memory error.
The tips of virtual memory has interesting for me. I used always the default setting of Windows7 x64.

Hi everyone.

I'm running TDW's UI mod, IRAI and FX Update. When I tested compatibility with the TDC Torp Test mission, I'm getting wildly conflicting ranges between the stadimeter and my map tools (left contacts on so I can test stad accuracy). Didn't the UI mod fix the stadimeter issue? Is there something basic I'm forgetting to do?

For example, when I ID a ship and take a stadi reading it should 12k+ meters. When I measure the distance on my map it is only like 3k meters. WHy the huge discrepancy?

EDIT: Forgot to mention I am using 1440x900 res so installed the 8x5 manos scope mod. Is that not the correct scope patch for my resolution?

[Thenew1]

Thank you, Silent Steel! I tried some of your suggestions but unfortunately without success. Thank you TDW for all of your contributions!

Finally I will change my system to Win7 in the near future. Of course, I will keep you informed if I was successful with installing SH5 and your mod.

Until then, keep up the good work! THANK YOU!

I think using the stadi from 12km away may be your issue here.
Go a bit closer - say 3 to 5km max and test again:up:

The stadimeter works correctly ONLY if the proper mast height is input either automatically (by 'checking' the correct ship in the stock rec manual or using WEPS-->Identify Target) or manually.
If by IDing the ship you mean you visually spot it and see that it's an enemy vessel and you do nothing more then yes the stadimeter will be totally whacked.
How you use the stadimeter also affects its accuracy. Where are you putting the first line? Where are you putting the prism split line? If you're not putting the first line directly on the waterline of the unit and/or not putting the second line at exactly the highest point on the unit then the stadimeter reading will be inaccurate. The farther the unit is away from you the harder to get an accurate stadimeter reading (due to the margin of error increase).
I would have an extremely hard time getting an accurate stadimeter reading on a unit at 12k+ distance. It's almost impossible to place the 2 lines correctly at that distance.

Thanks for the quick reply.

That's just it. The ship I am targeting has been appropriately identified (via WEPS) and is at a range of approximately 3000 meters but the stadimeter is saying its 12,000. Something is out of whack but i can't figure out what.

Open the stock recognition manual and click on the range highlighted text. What does it show the mast height for the unit is when it's been identified by WEPS? Does that mast height agree with the .cfg file for the unit? Which unit are you targeting?

[DickDastardly]

Is there a list of keyboard commands for this mod?

The reason I ask is I believe there's an option to lock the periscope view to the target on it, as was in previous versions. I've tried pressing random keys until I'm a drooling mess, but I'm stumped. Is it something that has to be enabled somewhere in one of the python files? I did a google search and that doesn't help, tho I haven't ploughed through all 501 pages of this thread.

I'm just using the stock NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_TheDarkWraith and patch 1 and SH5 Enhanced as the UI option.


Other than that, this looks to be an awesome mod :cool:
