[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[THEBERBSTER]

Anybody had a problem not being able to use binoculars when at "Decks Awash"?

[archer9]

I had that problem. I think it disappeared after I disabled decks awash patch from TDW exe patcher. You also have to set "Is decks awash patch installed" to False in the options file of TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py

[THEBERBSTER]

Yes, already did that.

[Raven_2012]

There is also one in the TDW Generic patcher, if you use version 1.0.149.0. I forget deck awash there is ~7.5, which matches Speech Recognition. And there is one in NewUI you have to enable to, but I assume you enabled them both

I will see if I can use my binos at decks awash.

Yes, already did that.

[THE_MASK]

Anybody had a problem not being able to use binoculars when at "Decks Awash"?You cannot use binos in decks awash . You shouldn't get any sighting reports in decks awash either . So use with caution . Its not a bug . That's the way it is or you would use it all the time .

[Raven_2012]

OK, show me how you did this?

OK, I've found it...

Modified Page layout.ini will do the trick...

If anyone else want to try this, just let me know...:03:

[archer9]

I would like to know that as well.

[archer9]

You cannot use binos in decks awash . You shouldn't get any sighting reports in decks awash either . So use with caution . Its not a bug . That's the way it is or you would use it all the time .

But we can still use the UZO, right? It's just a minor inconvenience, forcing us to click on the UZO instead of using mouse wheel to quickly zoom in. I don't see the point of disabling binos at all.


On the topic of Decks awash, when I click the order, the bow of my sub is a bit higher than the stern. You can see it sticking out of the water:
http://i.imgur.com/PBDiCnA.png?1

Does anyone else have that problem?

[THEBERBSTER]

Does not make sense to change it to "False"

The prompt in the Option File Editor "Is Patch Decks Awash Installed" default is "False" So surely to enable "Decks Awash" it has to be "True"

The default depth in the Option File Editior is 7.00 in Speech Recognition it is 7.50

[Raven_2012]

Thanks! I found it last night, came across it by accident.

By the way where can I get NewUI 7.5.0 test version 12? Last I checked, the downloaded version was version 5. But honestly I will wait until official version is out, I just migrated from 6_9_0 to 7_4_2 so that was a leap forward.

[Raven_2012]

Found it, going to bump up thread so when I'm on my pc I can download it.

Added versions 1 & 2 to new test version



See below in new test version



Still have to look into this :hmmm:



Sounds like a perfect thing for Automation, a new automation command :hmmm:



.NET 3.5



Can you explain this in more detail :hmmm:



I posted a fix for this. Did it work for you? I never heard a response back from you. The fix is also included in new test version below.



You can either use the OptionsEditorViewer app to set the option for item notes enabled or you enable the item notes in the extended top right bar (click the icon to enable/disable) in game



All shafts are working correctly. The speed slider only shows for one of the engines (stock game config). I'm working on something that will allow you to select the speed of each engine using dual sliders (one for each shaft) :up:


v7.5.0 test version 12 released. Available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?52pr5d581wpwcc1

this is needed to fix bug with stadimeter button in scope views: http://www.mediafire.com/?v8cjgjh2s14337j
Unzip and place in the test version's \data\Scripts\Menu folder letting it overwrite the old one

changes/additions in this test version:
- added a new user option that controls the starting and minimum width of the messagebox. Minimum width is 180.0. Default is 315.0 (stock size). (MessageBoxMinimumWidth)
- revised Automation so that it dynamically 'loads' the commands for the script when script is played. When script is stopped the commands are 'unloaded' to free memory. This dramatically reduces the memory used with all the scripts loaded in.
- when Disable sextant is clicked in the sextant window it will also disable the sextant window now
- fixed bug of being able to close sextant window while sextant was active (if this happened then there was no way to deactivate sextant!)
- fixed bug of button for using sextant disappearing after using the sextant

I finally rewrote automation so that it's way more memory friendly :D
Fixed many bugs with the sextant window staying visible and/or the button for use sextant staying visible

Hello guys!

I just donated to this forum as I bought this game yesterday.

I'm trying to make some experience about modding, so I tried this mod.
Sorry I didn't try to search on this thread more precisely as it has more than 500 page... :oops:

My problem is;
I set NewUIs to SH5Enhanced mode and turned off bars autohide option. Now, as you know while you hold ctrl key, essential bars switch to advanced mode, so you can set precise speed and depth. But with this mod installed, for me depth meter isn't showing at left of the screen only I see the ">" arrow icon, but no "meters texture" or how could I call...

Anybody could give me a hint, how can I resolve this?
Also I'm using some mod which overwrite each others config as I noted by mod enabler, so I don't know which mod loading order could be better.

I downloaded Sober's all in one megamods collection, but I don't want to enable all the mods due I even don't know what they do. :) So I tried pick one or two I guessed their purpose. I just wrote this because maybe my problem is related to mod's loading order. But back to my "original" problem...

in advanced bar-mode, depth meter isn't shown correctly

Is anybody could help me?

[Oby]

Uninstall NewUIs_TDC_7_x_x_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights addon for base mod. It's the one that cause your problem. :salute:

[vdr1981]

Can someone confirm that this mod (AI Subs hydrophone fix (SH5) (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=2793)) isn't needed anymore?

@TDW
The Options file viewer/editor has a problem with changing hotkeys. I have experimented with versions 1.028 to 1.032 (stated at bottom of post #1). Other subsimmers and I have the believe that hotkeys can be edited. We could not edit any hotkeys to our liking.

Picture called hotkey enabling, I can not change the enabled hot key function for crash dive from false to true. Other commands I can not change from true to false; I do not remember those examples.

The hotkeys report works (using Multiple UIs for TDC version 7.5, test version 12) fine.

Ah yes, I need to make 7.5.0 official. Hmm, I'll try and look into it this weekend. I leave for Mexico sometime next week (waiting on the phone call to tell me when) then off to Brazil. I'll probably have to get my passport updated with more pages again the way this year is shaping up :D

What all problems have people been having with 7.5.0? Let's compile a list so I have something to work on along with the GR2 Editor/Viewer on the planes.

I love to travel abroad and that was one of the requirements in my line of work. I take my scuba gear with me everywhere I go. I've dove some really neat places and probably places no one will ever visit. It is great to be single :D The one thing I do have a problem with is renting airplanes overseas. I'm a pilot but man is it hard to rent airplanes overseas! I have yet to rent one abroad. There are some places I've been that would've been breathtaking to see from the air. Yeah I could do the tourist thing and take a helo or airplane tourist flight but it's not the same if you're not the pilot.

What is 1? There a screenshot or post that describes the so-called problem?

2 - yeah I know. When it's officially released all the files in the applications folder will be updated with current revisions.

3 - getting ready to look into now. Can you give me a specific hotkey that fails to update/change?

Per Fifi at post 10657, August 13, 2013:
- when using attack scope stadimeter, each time i clic to match the top mast, the little icon (same as in sextant causing problem staying) at top of dial desappear!
I have to double clic the TDC on/off round button to make it appear again.

Random hotkeys I can not change:hotkey for toggle following target, toggling automation visibility, message box visibility, removing mark on map, repositioning a mark on map, ship's journal visibility, teleporting to UZO station, teleporting to observation station, teleporting to attack station, visibility of the charts (and SOAN), otto's chalkboard, nomograph visibility on mini-map (TAI), SH5 enhanced heading rudder/dial, visibility of radio message box, ordering most fuel efficient speed.

I agree the hot keys do not work in TDW's Option File Editor. The fuel default hot key is M but this is the default keyboard key for the map. Changing it makes no difference.

Should I go on and on?

Only one I randomly picked that works so far is:
Item notes enabled

No metal detector. I do take my dive knife with me though. Got surprised by a Silky shark off the southern coast of West New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea a couple of years ago down around 100ft without my dive knife. I had just crossed over a vertical drop off that you couldn't see the bottom. I looked down for about 3 seconds then looked up and to my right was this Silky shark about 13ft long just sitting there motionless about 5 feet from me. No idea where he came from! I reached for my dive knife and it wasn't there! I was a little anxious then!! The sharks fins were still straight out so he wasn't in attack mode so I just sat there and stared it down. After what seemed like an eternity it disappeared down the side of the drop off just like that and was gone. First time a shark has ever surprised me. Now I make sure I always have my dive knife with me :D

I don't care if you use your copy of the options file as a mod :up:

[Raven_2012]

I seemed to got a way around this, if I select last entry and use option to add after entry it works. I still can't just add entry, entry time is off.

Reinstalls didn't work or registry fix. Somewhere I read going from Steam game to normal messes up registry. I tried cleaning all SH5 related to Steam.

I'm having problem with the Journal. I am using NewUI 7.4.2.

When I add my own entry into the journal, it puts the time on in a hour ahead. When this happens it won't show in message box, because it hasn't happen yet.

Also when I back out of game, after I have saved journal, I go into the ShipsJournalEditor.exe and load that journal. I get an error and it won't load. If I don't put any personal entries of my own, the journal can be view. The time difference in entry is causing problems.

Here is picture I took. My entry is, 17:15 Test of date.

I was able to change all the hotkeys listed with no problems. How are you trying to change them? You have to double click the 'Hotkey' entry to have the window show up for configuring the hotkey. After you make your changes you press Accept. Now to have your changes saved you need to File-->Save.

After you make your changes you press Accept. Now to have your changes saved you need to File-->Save.

Update: Got it now.
If you open up a hotkey window enough times, and it has options of handled, Shift required, Ctrl required, or Alt required, you must double click the word hotkey for the window below to show up.
If you open up a hotkey window (example SOAN or item notes) and only has the option of true or false, then you doubleclick the true or false option.

[TheDarkWraith]

Every hotkey mentioned I did the same thing as in the picture. I open up the hotkey window until I get to the false level. Clicking false does not bring up another window for me to change the option from false to true as the first necessary step.

That's correct, it won't. Double click the 'HotKey' entry to bring up the window to change the hotkey parameters.

[Mikemike47]

That's correct, it won't. Double click the 'HotKey' entry to bring up the window to change the hotkey parameters.

You replied as I was just typing. Previous post updated with verbage. I will contact Trevally to add something to his "How to use options fileviewer editor" thread which has a link at the bottom of post #1 for Multiple UIs for TDC.

The hotkey doubleclicking is what a few of us were missing. Thanks again.

I am using using 7_4_2. with Real Navigation.

The only Hydrophone mod I am using is “Hydrophone Follow Nearest Contact Fix For NewUI 7_1_0 to 7_5_0”.

In TDW’s G.F.P. There is an option to enable. “Real nav menu.txt entries” “Description: reference new entries in menu.txt when real navigation enabled for Hydrophone”.

Should I enable the 3 patches as I am not sure what the changes do?

[Mikemike47]

I am using NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0, test version 12.

Go to NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Sound\speech \radioman folders. The filename in question is MC_RR_RADIO_15.ogg for normal\tension\whisper folders. Filesize is 4KB. No sound is produced for all three folders types.

Stock v1.2 MC_RR_RADIO_15.ogg says "New message received." Stock filesize is 19-21KB depending on the folder version you are using.

Is your intent to do something similar to MC_RR_RADIO_15.ogg-remove? Another idea, future editting in Message_RA.cfg in Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg perhaps? Any thought in mind of why you wanted to kill the radioman "new message received" sound.

@TDW,
Glad to see you are still around fixing the gr2 editor and got the multiple threading issues figured out. Once I finish another project maybe I will learn the gr2 editor and help others, too.
Are you still around or traveling for work now? Hope travel in small planes will be smoother.

Even though below are New UIs TDC 7.5, test version 12 and Page TDC update patch, could you post the links to the bottom of post #1 for Multiple UIs for TDC thread? It would certainly help others, besides me, who constantly refind the link for other subsimmers.

Hi guys... Im pretty new here, but I have found vis a lets play video on you tube that I need some new UI. I tried to download thedarkwrath but it does not work. Can this be due to the fact im running win 8.1?

Can anyone help?

PS. Sorry if this is the wrong place to be ansking

[Trevally.]

Hi Gruber:salute:

It should work ok with win8.1

A common issue is that the mod is placed within a MODS folder when you download it. So after extracting - look inside and find the folder called TDWs new ui. To check this is the correct one - the very next folder down must have a data folder.
So then use JSGME to install

What did you look at in the JSGME signature link? Looks like double folder issues? Give us a modlist, too.

Ok, my installation of SH5 was faulty. After a reinstall of the whole game, the mod worked perfectly fine.
I obviously did fiddle around with some files when I first installed the game (maybe revert the mouse axis, cause that is now different with the new install...), that was back in 2010 though and I did not remember anymore.

As it had nothing to do with the mod, admins please feel free to delete my posts therefor. Sorry for the hassle caused!

Hey guys, having some difficulty there. I am able to get the UI working fine but it changes my player movement from WASD to arrow keys. I cant seem to locate where i can change it back to the default WASD. Any thoughts / help?

[xSmithyx]

Ahoy there!

So after taking a break from SH5 for a while I decided to get back into it.... again.....

Anyway, I have a slight issue or maybe I did something wrong, but when I ask the Navigator to do a Celestial Fix he stops because the boat is underwater. Even though the boat is surfaced and travelling. I have noticed that it says I am submerged when a tiny (by tiny I mean less then a glass worth) of water breaks over the hull.

Is this intended or have I mess something up on installing the Wolves of Steel mega mod?

I am sorry if this has been asked before, but after 5 pages of scrolling in this thread I had to ask before I lost my mind on the 700th page.

[THEBERBSTER]

The Navigator needs a clear sky so he can see the stars to get a Celestial Fix.

That's the thing, the skies are clear. It is actually the water level as I said in my post. It's like the game thinks I am submerged when a small wave breaks over the bow. Even though the depth meter does not go below 5-6m.

It also just seems to happen when under TC4. If I speed time TC up past that it gives me the full fix duration. Just curious if it was a bug or something.

You must be in heavy seas. Either wait till the seas are calmer or increase the speed of your boat so that it's more riding over the waves instead of riding in them.

Mike,

I checked there before posting. There was no Commands.cfg. The issue was one of Stormy's sound mods which included a Command.cfg that was edited. Took me a while to track down, i do appreciate the help from everyone it had me going on the right track.

There should be commands.cfg in that folder data\cfg. Need for us to upload a stock version 1.2 commands.cfg? Within the last month, someone was just asking to upload or provide a link for this file. Sorry, I can not remember or find what thread it was posted under. Good to hear your success.

Mike, its there. I was looking in the wrong place. Like i said, for some reason that sound mod was writing over my old one and changing all of the preset key bindings. Very frustrating.

That sad, i know TDW wrote a new / edited the radio engine. Hes got those really nice old paper radio reports but when i receive radio messages they never seem to come in on them. I am using 7.5.0 test 12...maybe that's the issue?

I have used New UI since version 6.9, used verson 7.4.2, too. I am not going to check the version history at the moment. Not sure about this, but I could be wrong. I have seen the paper radio reports I presume throught the message box or the captain's log but not heard them as radio messages. I can not recall at the moment if I need to recheck something in optionsfile viewer/editor for activation.

ALL radio messages are shown in the radio messages window of the mod. The stock radio message interface has been disabled via the mod and they are rerouted to the mod's radio message window.

Notice my post, a few posts above this, concerning when u release test version 12 or any new version?

Is the radio messages included in version 12? Or do I have to get the Updated English radio messages stated in post #1?

You get those in the radio messages window now of the mod. They are rerouted to there.

Radio messages are a standard part of my UIs mod and thus are always included.

[RushTheBus]

I just have not seen them look like that, that's all.

[TheDarkWraith]

I just have not seen them look like that, that's all.

They won't look like the stock radio message anymore. They now look like my radio message format in the radio messages window.

[RushTheBus]

Any chance we will see the following:

- expansion of the TDC pannel in periscope / UZO to include the flooding of tubes then opening of tubes (much like is in magUI)

- ability to take a look at a consolidated TDC unit (again, like is in magUI)

Just curious (i really like these features) :D

[TheDarkWraith]

My problem is;
I set NewUIs to SH5Enhanced mode and turned off bars autohide option. Now, as you know while you hold ctrl key, essential bars switch to advanced mode, so you can set precise speed and depth. But with this mod installed, for me depth meter isn't showing at left of the screen only I see the ">" arrow icon, but no "meters texture" or how could I call...

Anybody could give me a hint, how can I resolve this?

I downloaded Sober's all in one megamods collection, but I don't want to enable all the mods due I even don't know what they do. :) So I tried pick one or two I guessed their purpose. I just wrote this because maybe my problem is related to mod's loading order. But back to my "original" problem...

in advanced bar-mode, depth meter isn't shown correctly

Uninstall NewUIs_TDC_7_x_x_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights addon for base mod. It's the one that cause your problem. :salute:

This problem has been fixed in v7.5.0 test version 13 (not released yet). No need to uninstall NewUIs_TDC_7_x_x_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights anymore :up:

[TheDarkWraith]

v7.5.0 test version 13 available here: https://www.mediafire.com/?n05satp7b5o9n55

v7.5.0 - fixed bug in TDWMouse.dll that could cause python exception to be thrown
- redid destroyed marks
- made the whole left side of the NavMap features window draggable so that those users whose screen resolution is small can still view the whole window by dragging it up/down
- added a new order to the engineer's orders: electrics only. When this is clicked and enabled then propulsion will be limited to electric propulsion only (requires patch from Generic Patcher enabled for this)
- removed old sextant. Added a new sextant to the game. The sextant is used by calling up the Sextant window from the Navigator's order bar. This requires the Stadimeter being used as sextant patch to be enabled in the Generic Patcher. To use the sextant: call up Sextant window, place the scope reference line on the horizon, press the Enable sextant button in the Sextant window, press the Stadimeter button (little button above the TDC range dial), place green reference line on object wanting angle of, read out angle in the sextant window
- added two additional add-on mods: NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_Eye_Reflection and NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_No_Eye_Reflectio n. These can be used to set a mask for the Sextant (by default the sextant has no mask - just open display)
- added a new user option that controls the starting and minimum width of the messagebox. Minimum width is 180.0. Default is 315.0 (stock size). (MessageBoxMinimumWidth)
- revised Automation so that it dynamically 'loads' the commands for the script when script is played. When script is stopped the commands are 'unloaded' to free memory. This dramatically reduces the memory used with all the scripts loaded in.
- when Disable sextant is clicked in the sextant window it will also disable the sextant window now
- fixed bug of being able to close sextant window while sextant was active (if this happened then there was no way to deactivate sextant!)
- fixed bug of button for using sextant disappearing after using the sextant
- added a new icon to the engineer order category: diveplanes
- added a new orders bar: diveplanes. This has the orders for controlling the diveplanes (if the manual diveplanes patch is enabled of my Generic Patcher)
- fixed problem of depth bar not rendering if the add-on mod NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights was enabled

The diveplane dials on the diveplane order bar are not finished. They are currently just something so you all can test it out. They will allow -90 to 90 degrees deflection of the diveplanes.

As always let me know of any problems. If no problems are reported I'll finally make this a releasable version (after finalizing the diveplane dials) :up:

NOTE: in order to have manual control of the diveplanes you need at least v1.0.156.0 of my Generic Patcher enabled

I hate to be the first to report problems but I've discovered one , luckily it is avoidable...

The game will CTD if:
- we try to save/reload the game with manual plane control ON or...
- we enter hist. mission, turn man.planes contr. ON, and then try to load the same or different mission.

So, player needs to take a good care not to have manual dive planes control enabled before the game is saved or when selecting new historical mission...

On a second thought, this might not be save/reload related issue. It could be also memory (or whatever) related, pretty much the same like CTD scenario 8 from Silent CTD Hunter thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=210153)

If I'm right I shouldn't get CTD if I save the game with planes control ON, then exit the game completely, and later load the same gamesave...I'll test that right now...

I hate to be the first to report problems but I've discovered one , luckily it is avoidable...

The game will CTD if:
- we try to save/reload the game with manual plane control ON or...
- we enter hist. mission, turn man.planes contr. ON, and then try to load the same or different mission.

So, player needs to take a good care not to have manual dive planes control enabled before the game is saved or when selecting new historical mission...

My game ctd when trying to load a save game or new career with test 15 . More info soon .

When you blaze new trails you sometimes hit some bumps :D I was able to get my game to crash having manual diveplane control on and then quitting to main menu and loading another historic mission. Now I'll run the game in OllyDebug to see what's causing the crash...

[vdr1981]

On a second thought, this might not be save/reload related issue. It could be also memory (or whatever) related, pretty much the same like CTD scenario 8 from Silent CTD Hunter thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=210153)

If I'm right I shouldn't get CTD if I save the game with planes control ON, then exit the game completely, and later load the same gamesave...I'll test that right now...

Yep, just like I thought...No CTD if I exit the game completely!

Gamesave created with man.DP control ON will load just fine after game restart. :yep:

Oh yes...I have two questions regarding Stadimetar as Sextant patches.

Is it possible to have wider field of view with sextant because right now it's not possible to measure elevation of celestial bodies higher then something like 19 degrees?

Is it possible top have mirrored view (like with stadimetar) while we use sextant?

Have you tried setting camera up high before using the stadimeter (Sextant)?

I don't understand the mirrored view question :06:

Patch has been revised. No more CTD's when exiting to main menu with manual diveplane control enabled then choosing another mission or save game :up: Now I did notice duplicate messagebox entries when you click on new diveplane setting. Looking into that now...

And this is an alpha channel cutout of the very same file (in png format):

In comparison, the gauge in your screenshot looks smaller, blurred, and has a red border whose cause I ignore. :hmmm:

Are you sure that in Menu Editor you have set the same rendering size as the source graphics? Should be a 256 x 256 square for each dial/needle.
Other than this, I can only think of a corrupt download. Try redownloading the file: I did it and, as you can see from the image above, everything looks regular.

@ TDW

Please redownload the dial graphics from the link below:

By mistake, I had mirrored the lighting effect of the aft needle, and both needles were off-center. They are now centered respectively on the bottom left and bottom right quarters (256 x 256 squares, as before). :salute:

v7.5.0 test version 16 available here: https://www.mediafire.com/?s2hphgfb4cfh92e

v7.5.0 - fixed bug in TDWMouse.dll that could cause python exception to be thrown
- redid destroyed marks
- made the whole left side of the NavMap features window draggable so that those users whose screen resolution is small can still view the whole window by dragging it up/down
- added a new order to the engineer's orders: electrics only. When this is clicked and enabled then propulsion will be limited to electric propulsion only (requires patch from Generic Patcher enabled for this)
- removed old sextant. Added a new sextant to the game. The sextant is used by calling up the Sextant window from the Navigator's order bar. This requires the Stadimeter being used as sextant patch to be enabled in the Generic Patcher. To use the sextant: call up Sextant window, place the scope reference line on the horizon, press the Enable sextant button in the Sextant window, press the Stadimeter button (little button above the TDC range dial), place green reference line on object wanting angle of, read out angle in the sextant window
- added two additional add-on mods: NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_Eye_Reflection and NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_No_Eye_Reflectio n. These can be used to set a mask for the Sextant (by default the sextant has no mask - just open display)
- added a new user option that controls the starting and minimum width of the messagebox. Minimum width is 180.0. Default is 315.0 (stock size). (MessageBoxMinimumWidth)
- revised Automation so that it dynamically 'loads' the commands for the script when script is played. When script is stopped the commands are 'unloaded' to free memory. This dramatically reduces the memory used with all the scripts loaded in.
- when Disable sextant is clicked in the sextant window it will also disable the sextant window now
- fixed bug of being able to close sextant window while sextant was active (if this happened then there was no way to deactivate sextant!)
- fixed bug of button for using sextant disappearing after using the sextant
- added a new icon to the engineer order category: diveplanes
- added a new orders bar: diveplanes. This has the orders for controlling the diveplanes (if the manual diveplanes patch is enabled of my Generic Patcher)
- fixed problem of depth bar not rendering if the add-on mod NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights was enabled
- fixed bug of after using Sextant none of the order bars would be visible and camera zoom was 'zoomed'
- fixed bug of tutorials always showing corrupt in the main menu

I also updated all the applications in \data\Applications and added two new ones

As always let me know of any problems. If no problems are reported I'll finally make this a releasable version (after finalizing the diveplane dials) :up:

NOTE: in order to have manual control of the diveplanes you need at least v1.0.157.0 of my Generic Patcher enabled


Using v1.0.157.0 of my Generic Patcher you should have no problems leaving manual control of diveplanes enabled when exiting to main menu, loading a save game, returning to bunker, etc. I also had the mod force automatic diveplane control on start game, end game, and game state switched just to be ultra safe :up:

Diveplane dials are finalized with gaps 3rd version of the diveplane dials. The diveplane icons were also changed to gap's new style.

Fore diveplanes have a range of -35 to +25
Aft diveplanes have a range of -30 to +30

What I'm unsure of is do the angle of the diveplanes match the numbers? i.e. - if fore diveplane is positioned so that if the sub is moving forward it will force the nose down is that + or - value? Same with aft diveplane.

We now must update 3d gauge graphics and settings to reflect the new deflection range of fore diveplanes, and release the update together with your patcher. Which other popular mods affect Room_CR.sim? IIRC there are at least a couple of mods dealing with gauge fixes that our patch should be made compatible with :hmm2:

I think I know what TDW means.

You should see the "wide end" of each needle (the one pointing to te right in neutral position) as if it was boat's stern. When both ends are pointing up, i.e. negative fore deflection and positive after deflection, boat's bow will point down and the stern will point up (diving position). Conversely, setting both ends to point down, will make the boat to surface. :up:

Hello:

Great work, the dive planes work great!!:up: I was able to go between 10m and 150 m with no problems (up and down, up and down). This only happens when I hit the crash dive button, then I can use the dive planes to move the sub up etc.

Is there anyway to manually control the amount of water entering and exiting the ballasts? I think we will need this control to really use the dive planes. In the example above, I cannot surface the boat with the dive planes alone, I need to hit the surface button. Likewise, I cannot submerge the sub with the dive planes alone. Is there any documentation for the dive planes?

At periscope depth, something unusual happens. No matter the speed or angle of the dive planes, I cannot go below 20m. See attached file.

for diving u must also contro the balast tank to flood them with water ... only with dive planes u can't dive....same for when u wanna surface the boat u must pomp out the water from the balast tank with compressed air .... there are some nice videos CLIK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7ixYuCObUk)

Making dive planes usable is one thing but physics of flotation is completely different story...SH was never intended to be underwater FSX and this is precisely the main reason for strange underwater behavior of the submarine even with manual dive planes control.
If we find the way to manually control weight of the submarine (read ballast tanks ) then we might finally have a true submarine simulation and "fly" the boat under the water using TDW's dive planes while struggling to maintain neutral buoyancy manually... A dream...
Knowing TDW's Kung Fu, nothing is impossible...:yep:

After a second read of the post by Captain America (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=209628&postcount=64) I had pointed the last week, I think its assumptions are essentially correct (and some of my previous conclusions, here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2186587&postcount=11142) and here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2186764&postcount=11149), conversely wrong). Look at the diagram below:

http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/2079/diveplanediag21jx.jpg

fore needle pointing down = negative fore deflection = diving position
fore needle pointing up = positive fore deflection = surfacing position

conversely:

aft needle pointing down = positive aft deflection = diving position
aft needle pointing up = negative aft deflection = surfacing position

In other words: move both needles to the black scale (down) for diving, move them to the red scale (up) for surfacing. This is exactly how stock 3d diveplane gauges (in command room) work, and how UI diveplane dials should be modelled :yep:

Another way to see it all, is that the "thick back end" of the fore needle (not represented in the above picture) and the aft needle (identical in shape to the former), represent the aft profile of each diveplane.

Destroyed marks are still hit and miss for me. Using 7_5_0 v16 and TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_157_0 with the marks enabled.
I have yet to see a pattern other than when I get a mark I do get a radio message saying the unit is destroyed. (The reverse is not true; I get messages and no marks and consistantly no message = no mark). Captain's log always records the unit destroyed.
I've watched to see if it's specific ship types (small passenger carriers for example sometimes give marks, sometimes not), if it's how the ship sinks (catastrophic vs slow sinking, deck gun vs. torp ), or range when ship sinks (close or far), and I'll even get mixed results during the same play session ( ship sinks:no mark, aircraft shot down 5 min later: get a mark ).
No pattern as yet.

Why not? Harbour pilots know their harbours in and out, they should be able to guide a ship out of the harbour even in heavy fog.

Hello,

Is there a way to keep supermarks and navigation fixes across saves? I read somewhere that if you edited the text of them, they would stay across saves, but that's not working for me.

Also, destroyed marks don't appear in my game. I'm using Real Navigation, so might they be disabled with RN enabled?

Hey guys. How do you enable the snorkel with this mod? I used to use DarkWraith's separate snorkel mod but it says that's no longer needed as its build in. I tried going into the UserOptions.PY file to find that the option was already enabled. I also tried using that GUI interface with still no luck. Sorry I know this answer is going to be somewhere in this thread already but I went through 30 pages or so with no luck, so I'll ask again.

Are you trying to say the new diveplane dials don't work correctly :06:

Not necessarily.
Post #11153 is answering the following question posted by you:


What I'm unsure of is do the angle of the diveplanes match the numbers? i.e. - if fore diveplane is positioned so that if the sub is moving forward it will force the nose down is that + or - value? Same with aft diveplane.

As for post #11144, it contains the download link to the latest version of my dial graphics. The previous version was not perfect (needles off-center), but they might also be used if you off-set them accordingly with menu editor. :salute:

It is the 'Submarine Tab' in TDW's Option File Editor Viewer Thx for the quick reply. I see a lot of tabs but sadly none of them say submarine. Perhaps I am opening the wrong file? I'm using the editor 1.0.28.0 opening both the English menu txt plus TheDarkWratihUserOptions.py files.

TDW's new Option File Editor Viewer_ v_ 1_0_32_0 Viewer comes zipped and separate from the NewUI mod.

When unzipped you have the exe application and the Language Packs.

There are no instructions how to install this.

It would be useful in the OFEV if there was a hot key to get the Sonar Mans contact update when using the 4 bearing method.

Stormy's mod uses the z key but I can't use the mod as I get ctd's with it.

Hello TheDarkWraith,

Any reason why destroyed marks would not be saved into the journal? They show up when I sink a ship on the map. Save the journal, then the game, and exit.

The journal does not show the destroyed mark, and it doesn't show on the map either when I reload.

By the way, is there a way to add a destroyed mark or position fix manually to the journal?

I have finally installed the new ui mod and its great. I only have on think to ask about. When I'm underwater, I notice a third periscope raised. I can't find any hotkey for lowering it. I tried raising and lowering the attack and observation scopes, but nothing. Is it a bug or is it something useful and I haven't figured out what it is? I'm using the second conning tower style (the larger one, but no additional platform for another AA gun) and the periscope is coming out of a big hole on the port side

Hi,

I have installed this great (!) mod and I really like it. It's awesome for sure.
Also watched a couple of intro videos of Stoianm and I'd like to try real navigation. However, there's one problem. I seem to be not able to get the mast height changed in the recognition book. I'm now trying to find a solution for the last two hours, including research in the forums.

Yes, I ran the program as administrator (Win7 64bit). Changed UPlay to offline as well (no impact). When I hover across the word mast height it is highlighted, but I cannot change the mast height, regardless whether I have already indentified the ship (green sign ritgh to the picture) or not (it stays at 20 meter). This leaves me with no chance to get the distance to the ship, unfortunately.

I also tried two different recognition manual mods (which do not any manual insertion of the mast height ), however, then all dials are gone in the attack scope, together with the attack disc etc. (for the recognition manual mod changes the DarkWraith mod of course).

No clue what the issue is - reading dozens of entries here in the forum led me nowhere.

Maybe I can manually change the key assigned to the mast height change?

Any help is much appreciated - as this seems the only thing not working on my machine, but preventing me to use this awesome mod.

Thanks,
10tacle

It's the radio antenna. It's automatically controlled.

Destroyed marks are no longer saved to the journal. They are read in from the game's file.

If destroyed marks aren't showing then you need to ensure the patch(s) for them are enabled in my Generic Patcher.

You cannot manually enter a destroyed mark or position fix. You can use the supermarks though to do the same thing (those are saved to the journal)

It would be useful in the OFEV if there was a hot key to get the Sonar Mans contact update when using the 4 bearing method.

Don't understand what Sonar Mans contact update is :06:

[TheDarkWraith]

for diving u must also contro the balast tank to flood them with water ... only with dive planes u can't dive....same for when u wanna surface the boat u must pomp out the water from the balast tank with compressed air

If someone can make me some icons for the main ballast tank and dive ballast tank that would be great. They would be order categories for one of the officers. I'm adding the ability to manually control these :up:

[THEBERBSTER]

When the Sonar Man is following a contact with Stormy's DBSM mod. Pressing the Z key every time gives you the precise contacts bearing and shows straight away in the message box.

if you are using the 4 bearings method and firing torpedoes just on the hydrophone as in Stoianm's tutorials you need accurate contact bearings when you want them not as and when the Sonar Man calls them out.

@TDW


heya tdw is any posibilty to make to resize only 1 chart ?
i mean the map grind chart what i made cos they doesn't fit for each screen resolution... if we can make to be resize only that chart will be awesome

thx
have a nice day

[sir_drinkalot]

It's the radio antenna. It's automatically controlled. :

So there is no way to manually raise or lower the antenna? I didn't notice any effects on my visibility when I'm at periscope depth, but I still feel a bit strange having an antenna sticking out of the water at all times. Also, I'd like to ask the same about the round antenna on the starboard side. Can I set a hotkey to raise it or lower it?

Anyway, these are just minor things. The mod is absolutely superb and it really gives me a better feeling when I'm hunting ships. Congrats for a great job!

i have 1 question please.
I dont have access to the ships recognition manual slideout the upper left screen.

It's depending on my unusual screen size 1680x1050 (22"tft) i guess.

I did a test in 1024x768 everything is fine.

Anyone any idea what can be done about this?

Also the charts only came up when i force them to came expandet - but thats ok for me as a good workaraound. I'm on 7_5_0_16test

Thanks in advance

I forgot to say great mod, thank you, fireworks...:sunny:

If you have a problem with any of the draggable items then go to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder and delete all the Pagex_Draggables.TDW files to have the game rebuild them.

Don't understand what you are saying about the charts :06: Maybe a screenshot to help understand?

[Gammel]

charts are just not there wehen pressing "e" or clicking the icon right side.

Due the config file i can force them to appear when scope is raised and further force them to appaer expanded. When i do this they appear. Very minor problem, i have more worries about the rec-manual.

Ill do what you'd suggested, thank you!

[Gammel]

Great - it worked Problem solved and i guess the one with the charts map not shown will vanish too.

Thanks again.

I deleted all the files you told me - like i9 sayd after that the first start everything was fine.

That "new Menus" on the screen can not be shut down and when i start a single mission came crashes now. :wah:


EDIT i disabled the mod and reactivated it no its gone - hope it never come back!

You have a new version ready btw? Would be a good point to upgrade cause its relative low in my load order and i have to disable many mods before.

Yes there is. Though I hate 'hard-coding' things so I made this definable in the user chart file :D

from a new version of a userchart file:

; User Charts
; Category= the category where the chart will fall under (can be anything!) - if left blank will default to Default category
; Name= specifies the name to be shown in the charts listbox
; Filename= name of the DDS file of the chart (including .dds extension!) - user charts can ONLY be DDS files!
; Size= if you specify -1 then the DLL will get the size needed (width and/or height) from the image itself else you can specify custom size for the chart (image)
; Position= specifies the position on screen relative to upper left corner of game screen
; Draggable= valid values are 1 (yes) or 0 (no). If a 1 then you will be able to drag the chart anywhere on screen
; ToolTip= the tooltip displayed when the mouse is placed over the visible chart (image)
; Sizeable= valid values are 1 (yes) or 0 (no). If a 1 then you will be able to resize the chart by scrolling the mousewheel
; max number of charts that can be defined is 20. Anything after 20 will be ignored!
; [ENDCHART] must be the last line in the file!

If the app can't find it's config file it will say this. This is normal and expected behavior. Once it builds a config file and it can find it you won't see this message again.

[TheDarkWraith]

This new Sizeable= option in the user charts file I added some more to it. Besides being able to use the mousewheel to increase/decrease it's size you can also grab any of the borders or corners and drag them to the size wanted :up:

[TheDarkWraith]

After a second read of the post by Captain America (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=209628&postcount=64) I had pointed the last week, I think its assumptions are essentially correct (and some of my previous conclusions, here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2186587&postcount=11142) and here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2186764&postcount=11149), conversely wrong). Look at the diagram below:

http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/2079/diveplanediag21jx.jpg

fore needle pointing down = negative fore deflection = diving position
fore needle pointing up = positive fore deflection = surfacing position

conversely:

aft needle pointing down = positive aft deflection = diving position
aft needle pointing up = negative aft deflection = surfacing position

In other words: move both needles to the black scale (down) for diving, move them to the red scale (up) for surfacing. This is exactly how stock 3d diveplane gauges (in command room) work, and how UI diveplane dials should be modelled :yep:

I verified this is how the stock game handles the diveplanes and have adjusted the mod to reflect this. Will be available starting with v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1

heya tdw is any posibilty to make to resize only 1 chart ?

As I posted earlier (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2193025&postcount=11198 and http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2193061&postcount=11204) this has been added to v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1



v7.5.0 test version 16 patch 1 available here: https://www.mediafire.com/?iu7d68q29ap3eu5

Extract. Copy the folder to v7.5.0 test version 16's main folder letting it overwrite all files it needs to :up:

NOTE: you need v7.5.0 test version 16 first! It's available here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2186512&postcount=11139

v7.5.0 - fixed bug in TDWMouse.dll that could cause python exception to be thrown
- redid destroyed marks
- made the whole left side of the NavMap features window draggable so that those users whose screen resolution is small can still view the whole window by dragging it up/down
- added a new order to the engineer's orders: electrics only. When this is clicked and enabled then propulsion will be limited to electric propulsion only (requires patch from Generic Patcher enabled for this)
- removed old sextant. Added a new sextant to the game. The sextant is used by calling up the Sextant window from the Navigator's order bar. This requires the Stadimeter being used as sextant patch to be enabled in the Generic Patcher. To use the sextant: call up Sextant window, place the scope reference line on the horizon, press the Enable sextant button in the Sextant window, press the Stadimeter button (little button above the TDC range dial), place green reference line on object wanting angle of, read out angle in the sextant window
- added two additional add-on mods: NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_Eye_Reflection and NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_No_Eye_Reflectio n. These can be used to set a mask for the Sextant (by default the sextant has no mask - just open display)
- added a new user option that controls the starting and minimum width of the messagebox. Minimum width is 180.0. Default is 315.0 (stock size). (MessageBoxMinimumWidth)
- revised Automation so that it dynamically 'loads' the commands for the script when script is played. When script is stopped the commands are 'unloaded' to free memory. This dramatically reduces the memory used with all the scripts loaded in.
- when Disable sextant is clicked in the sextant window it will also disable the sextant window now
- fixed bug of being able to close sextant window while sextant was active (if this happened then there was no way to deactivate sextant!)
- fixed bug of button for using sextant disappearing after using the sextant
- added a new icon to the engineer order category: diveplanes
- added a new orders bar: diveplanes. This has the orders for controlling the diveplanes (if the manual diveplanes patch is enabled of my Generic Patcher)
- fixed problem of depth bar not rendering if the add-on mod NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights was enabled
- fixed bug of after using Sextant none of the order bars would be visible and camera zoom was 'zoomed'
- fixed bug of tutorials always showing corrupt in the main menu
- added a new parameter to the user chart files: Sizeable=. If this value is 1 then the chart is sizeable by using the mousewheel, dragging a corner, or dragging a side. NOTE: the chart's size will NOT be saved and will be restored to original size at game end or exit to main menu

You should be able to change the mast height manually using the mousewheel. If you can't there is a problem somewhere. I verified I was able to change the mast height using the mousewheel (though I noticed a problem with the mast height patch - it overrides whatever you set the mast height to with the mousewheel :shifty: - I'll have to fix that patch)

When the Sonar Man is following a contact with Stormy's DBSM mod. Pressing the Z key every time gives you the precise contacts bearing and shows straight away in the message box.

What command is associated with that key (Z)? Can you post the entry from the commands.cfg file for it?

Also the hydrophone should automatically go back to normal sweep when I surface the sub maybe .

@ TDW

heya TDW i about the sextant is any posibilty too look up ? or zoom out cos i can't see the polaris from sextant need to look up....

"The angle of elevation of the North Star is equal to your latitude"

if u finde you latitude then is very easy to finde your longitude... convert the UTC time.
Convert it to degrees by using the fact that 24h = 360°, 12h = 180°, 6h = 90°, 1h = 15°, 4m = 1° and 1m = 15’. In this example: 10h = 150°, 12m = 3°, 30s = 7.5’ (8’)

Thank you, DarkWraith. I'll try with the static mast height meters and will also try other means to measure the distance.

My mast height patch of the Generic Patcher will automatically enter the correct mast height of your locked on contact as per the data contained in the unit's .cfg file. There's really no need to be trying to change the mast height unless the contact is not locked.

Would someone please let me have the download link to the new TDW Option File Editor Viewer V_1_0_32_0

Taken from near the bottom of post #1 for this thread. Where all download links related to Multiple UIs are.

Updated OptionsFileEditorViewer app (v1.0.32.0): http://www.mediafire.com/?50a7d3ln2j5g2ej
This updated version has language packs and allows you to resize the window. It also has a new File command: File-->Reports-->Hot keys that creates a file in the applications path that lists all the hotkeys used by the mod and their status. This version also adds the familiar enabled/disabled icons that the Generic Patcher uses for a Boolean options.

To use the sextant: call up Sextant window, place the scope reference line on the horizon, press the Enable sextant button in the Sextant window, press the Stadimeter button (little button above the TDC range dial), place green reference line on object wanting angle of, read out angle in the sextant window
- added two additional add-on mods: NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_Eye_Reflection and NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_gap_Sextant_Mask_No_Eye_Reflectio n. These can be used to set a mask for the Sextant (by default the sextant has no mask - just open display)
- added a new user option that controls the starting and minimum width of the messagebox. Minimum width is 180.0. Default is 315.0 (stock size). (MessageBoxMinimumWidth)
- revised Automation so that it dynamically 'loads' the commands for the script when script is played. When script is stopped the commands are 'unloaded' to free memory. This dramatically reduces the memory used with all the scripts loaded in.
- when Disable sextant is clicked in the sextant window it will also disable the sextant window now
- fixed bug of being able to close sextant window while sextant was active (if this happened then there was no way to deactivate sextant!)
- fixed bug of button for using sextant disappearing after using the sextant
- added a new icon to the engineer order category: diveplanes
- added a new orders bar: diveplanes. This has the orders for controlling the diveplanes (if the manual diveplanes patch is enabled of my Generic Patcher)
- fixed problem of depth bar not rendering if the add-on mod NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_AltAdvSpeedGraphics_by_naights was enabled
- fixed bug of after using Sextant none of the order bars would be visible and camera zoom was 'zoomed'
- fixed bug of tutorials always showing corrupt in the main menu
- added a new parameter to the user chart files: Sizeable=. If this value is 1 then the chart is sizeable by using the mousewheel, dragging a corner, or dragging a side. NOTE: the chart's size will NOT be saved and will be restored to original size at game end or exit to main menu
- user charts now dynamically load/unload thus saving memory used


Before the user charts would load into memory and stay loaded in memory. Depending on the size of the image defined for the user chart this could be a considerable amount of memory just being 'wasted' when the chart is not being viewed. Now, with this patch, the image is loaded into memory only when the user chart is visible and deleted from memory (thus freeing memory used) when the user chart is not visible. This will have considerable memory savings in the game :up:

My mast height patch of the Generic Patcher will automatically enter the correct mast height of your locked on contact as per the data contained in the unit's .cfg file. There's really no need to be trying to change the mast height unless the contact is not locked.

Very good, I'll go from there and have a look inot the .cfg-file.

Best,

me too - Not sure if it is a mod conflict or what . :)

as well i never managed the NAV office do a celestial position fix.
It always triggers a weather report but no nav mark is seen on the map.

unfortunately game is modded to the edge with sobers modlist as a general layout. :)

no much else to complain about - everything stable and working as expected.
Using DTW patcher and IRAI as well :yeah:

remove NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_RadCapTools_0_2_alpha

Yes, that will not work unless your sub's icon or the last supermark placed is in view. The supermarks need a reference on the map to base off of. If you zoom out a little till your sub or the last supermark placed on the map is in view then the new supermark you are trying to place will work.

u can edit how mutch time need the navigator to calculate celesitial fix and other stuffs like error in calculation, time for deadrecognition time, etc. etc. form TDW's OptionFileViewer.

open the OptionFileViewer and then go to the Real navigation tab and from there u can modify.

ps. when is fog, strom, heavy clouds will not calculate the celestial fix only dead recognition ......

[Gammel]

If the weather report says conditions are favorable for it then he can do it :up:

Sounds resonable and it's like i saw it should work.
Maybe some environment mod is messing things up a little.
i also have the shixxy experience my crew can see ships i even have a clue about.
Gamma setting is correct.
Will have to have some mods sorted out when back in port.

Thx @Sjizzle will have a look at those settings.
Edit:
so default is 15 to 45 minutes - sound realistic and i'm sure i have waited that long.

It#s a so much other game with the patches and esp. real navigation.
I also forgot to re-enable external view for the running campaign - and had the best patrol ever...

Hi Sailors :)

Just coming back to SH5, so i updated my great TDW mod :). (7.1.0 to 7.4.2)
I just had a very small issue with the journal.
In game it's ok, but when i want tu used the external journal viewer it said that it is not able to read the journal.
I was thinking that it could be due that the journal was created with a previous version but this is the same with a fresh one.
Until the new mod version add information in the "7.1.0" journal, all was ok (i had not any more this old one).
I have a french steam version, with "menu.txt "english; sometime i know that localisation could conflict.

A another question (which have been probably already asked :oops:), i saw different mast height between SOAN and the in-game windows, i suppose that SOAN values are the good one?

Thanks

@ TDW

heya TDW i about the sextant is any posibilty too look up ? or zoom out cos i can't see the polaris from sextant need to look up....

"The angle of elevation of the North Star is equal to your latitude"

if u finde you latitude then is very easy to finde your longitude... convert the UTC time.
Convert it to degrees by using the fact that 24h = 360°, 12h = 180°, 6h = 90°, 1h = 15°, 4m = 1° and 1m = 15’. In this example: 10h = 150°, 12m = 3°, 30s = 7.5’ (8’)

Hi，TDW
Please forgive my poor English:dead:...I just met the same problem as above.The field of view in sextant seems to be too narrow now.Can't measure the angle of elevation of a celestial body which is above 16 degrees.I really want to make a celestial position fix by myself.Is there any way to fix that in your MOD？

Thanks，your MOD is awesome，I love it:up:.

[TheDarkWraith]

What is the process to update the mod? I have 1.5.0 and would like to update to the last test version, but I'm not sure how to do it without breaking anything.

1.5.0? That's extremely old!

To update to newest version:
- disable old version
- use options migrator in NEW version to migrate options file from old to new
- enable new version

EDIT:

actually v1.5.0 is too old to use the OptionsMigrator app on because that version's option's file isn't setup for the app. You'll have to enable the new version of the mod and then use the OptionsEditorViewer app found in \data\Applications to setup your options file.

v7.5.0 test version 17 available here: https://www.mediafire.com/?lismgl03bwubc8b

v7.5.0 - fixed bug in TDWMouse.dll that could cause python exception to be thrown
- redid destroyed marks
- made the whole left side of the NavMap features window draggable so that those users whose screen resolution is small can still view the whole window by dragging it up/down
- added a new order to the engineer's orders: electrics only. When this is clicked and enabled then propulsion will be limited to electric propulsion only (requires patch from Generic Patcher enabled for this)

I am new in game and as well in in mod using. I have installed only Multiple UI for SH5 with TDC but it doesn't work. As I checked there is no problem with using other mods.

The issue is that game cannot be launched - after trailer and progress screen there appears black screen and I get back to Windows.

In debugview I've found following error:

The first thing you need to do is go in to your 'Mods Folder.'

This in your main Silent Hunter Folder.

Looks like example C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Mods

Go to the NewUi 'Base/Main Folder.'

Right click on it with your mouse.

Can you see the 'Data Folder.'

If 'Yes' then your mod has 'Enabled' correctly.

If 'No' then your 'Data Folder' is inside the 'Folder' you are looking at.

I am using for Newuis 7.5.0 test version 17 with Silent Hunter 3 style.
The problem:
When i hovering mouse cursor on the first dial (speed) it is zooming ok, but when i hovering mouse on second dial (compass/heading), it is not zooming after first dial, and i should shake my mouse up and down to zoom second dial.
In the native Silent Hunter 4 and SH3 games, you can drag mouse from left to right by one moving, and all dials will be smoothly zooming and shrinking in sequence each after other.

How to solve this problem?
I want to smoothly zooming and shrinking all dials by one mouse moving from left to right like it was in SH3, SH4 old games.

Sorry for my bad English.


SOLVED
Problem lies in file named Page layout.py. There one variable: ADialAlreadyZoomed, I deleted links on this variable in 6 strings of this file. And also edited TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py, The result is great.
There are path on this mod, you can install it by jgsme.
http://yadi.sk/d/XJXIer58PSepo
It makes 3 dials smoothly zooming like in sh 3 and 4.

Ok, so after upgrading to NewUIs v7.4.2, I can no longer run TDW_No hydrophone on surface. I tried No hydrophone on surface_No Aircraft Spotting, but it doesn't work either. I did enough troubleshooting on it and am at wits end.

While troubleshooting the mod conflict, I saw that NewUIs_TDC, IRAI, FX Update, and No hydrophone, all use both UBoot_Sensors and/or UBoot_Sensors.GR2, except for IRAI which only uses UBoot_Sensors.sim.

Whichever of these files loads last, essentially overrides the others, which leads me to believe that whatever is in the others that isn't in the last-loading files, is lost and the benefits within them aren't utilized. Is this correct? And if yes, I take it that since No hydrophone is the one that is the oldest of the mods, we'd lose a lot since it doesn't get updated like the others have. In my case, since No hydrophone doesn't load for me anyways, that doesn't apply, but does apply to using the other three.

TDW, do you use the same sensors for all your mods, and if so, would the one with the latest timestamp have all the latest updated data and can be used by all your mods that use them, or do you create different sensors (all using the same names) for each of your mods independent of each other?

If the former, maybe you can create a separate link or download with the most current sensor files (or any other shared files) to be used by all your mods that contain them, so that there won't be any conflicts between your own mods. If the latter, maybe using one set of sensor files (or any files) shared by all your mods would be an idea to consider. What are your thoughts on all this?

The debate about which order all your mods should be in is an old one, with the correct answer changing often, so maybe this would kill that debate, and help minimize or prevent the amount of CTDs or troubleshooting users have to go through when adding these mods together.

As a noob trying to mod SH5 for the first time should I use the last stable version 7.4.2 or the latest 7.5.0?

thanks

[THEBERBSTER]

7-5-0 is on version 17 and has not been officially released so you can expect more modifications.

If you want to work with sextants, engine controls, dive planes and the other sophisticated controls etc then you need 7-5-0

You will also need the latest 164 GFP

If not then 7-4-2 is the finished product and I can recommend it as being very stable.

Having a major problem with 7.5.0 version 17.

All was well for five full patrols. Then on returning from my sixth I got CTD's nearing Wilhelmshaven and on restarting the game had pretty much what is shown in the attached screenshot.

I eventually managed to get into harbour and dock, saved in bunker and exited the game. On restarting the problem persisted.

I've tried the following:

Re-jigged my mod load order trying everything from New_UI's first to New_UI's last.

Deleted all TDW_Draggables files and letting the game rebuild them.

Deleting TDW Options file and installing an un-edited one.

It's nothing to do with TDW-s patches (I'm a Steam user and so don't have any of those patches installed).

Eventually I removed 7.5.0 completely, re-downloaded and reinstalled it...... And got the same graphical corruption.

SOS!!!!!
