What Mods are you guys using?

[fastfed]

I recently came back after trying forever to enjoy SH5, I tried EVERYSINGLE mod on SH5 and nothing worked.

After being in such Shock here with good ol' SH3 I installed a few mods, but I want to make sure I am getting the best I can with this game.

So far I have GWX Gold commander and some other mods

Lifeboats and debris v4
longer repair times 2.04
thomsen's Sound Pack v3.2
ManosEvironmentpro V3


Thats it.. What mods do you guys have?
I want to make sure I am getting the most out of this GEM!

THANKS ALL!

Here is mine at the moment. I should warn that I have 8GB ram and use the 4GB switch just to make this setup run, otherwise it crashes to desktop.

A couple of these are very minor mods I did myself, a couple are combinations of two or more things that I combined for compatibility's sake or so I could enable a mod together with all the desired options/fixes for it in one fell swoop instead of enabling them all separately.

Aside from Commander (I know, not really a mod, but still) I can't ever see not using Mission Orders Lite. Or Integrated Orders. In fact I don't use any mod that interferes with the commands.cfg files unless I can make it compatible with IO with a manual edit. That plus something that gets the rank/medals off the clothes and preferably puts the crew in more casual and realistic attire. And an environmental mod with at least a 16k atmo, with those it's kind of a toss-up depending on mood. But I wouldn't want to go back to the 8km atmo.

[JScones]

OK, so after some extensive analysis using a representative sample size of GWX players (OK, so four responses means a sampling error of around +/-50%, lol), I have concluded that that over 75% of players use the following mods:

LifeBoats&Debris_v4
Waterstream+Exhaust Combi V2.3 for GWX3
SH-5 Water for GWX 3.0 V0.9 Atlantic campaign
Torpedo damage Final
GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units V4

To be fair, SH Commander can technically modify files, and alter your U-Boat name, wind, gun reload, etc... I suppose that makes it a mod.

I'd use Mission Orders Lite myself, but I still haven't completed a full campaign, so I want to see everything. Once that's done, it will probably be at the top of my list, so I can end the suffering.

JScones,

The long awaited Merchant_Fleet_Mod_3.2 adds alot of really good looking merchant ships to the sim.

The latest version of GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units V4 is GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V6, and it is worth the upgrade.

:salute:

Sigh, I'm positive it's awesome but when I try it I get a crash on loading unless I pare it down to the bare minimum (lite harbour traffic, etc.).

I remember someone saying I would have problems with V4 if I tried to play it past a certain date (somewheres in 1943?) but I hate sailing in and out of a mostly empty harbor. I guess if I ever survive until the point where the earlier version may become problematic I'll have to switch over and start all my patrols at sea so I don't know what I'm missing and hope that doesn't bork up my existing career.

[fastfed]

Thanks guys! I really appreciate this! I am trying to look for some of the mods you guys listed, I sort the list by downloads figuring they must be popular, but I'm probably wrong? Either way I am not finding many of the ones listed?

Are they all on the download page?

[fastfed]

Is there a thread for this mod.."SH-5 Water for GWX 3.0 V0.9 20 Km Atlantic campaign (default)"

I would like to see what this is exactly.. Thanks

[HW3]

Sorry you can't play it frau it is good.

fastfed,
Some of them are but, alot are not yet. If you look through the SH3 mods forum, you should be able to find threads for them. Some of the ones on my list are like Frau's, where I combined mods together, or took bits and pieces of several mods to make one I liked.

[fastfed]

Thanks HW3.. Sucks trying to find things.. Im always lost.. LOL..

Someone mentioned about the CORE essential must have mods.. Are there any? I mean besides GWX and commander.. What else would you/you guys, MUST HAVE?

I guess that would lead me in the right direction..

I know things like binoculars or dials are not a MUST have, but what about this mission order lite deal? Or the SH5 water?

THANKS AGAIN ALL!

[HW3]

Once you get tired of the immersion radio messages that come in GWX, WBNN mission orders lite has removed them leaving only the ones that are useful to you. SH5 water is nice to look at.

Thanks I installed the 20k version. Its running pretty good, except the horizon line looks a little jagged..


Question.. I had manosevironmentpro V3 installed , I installed the SH5 water and it didn't give me any conflicts but I thought I better not run both at the same time.. Is this a correct thinking? Thanks

[fastfed]

Also, I noticed now at night its PITCH BLACK!! I mean I cannot even see the UZO.. ITS REALLY DARK!!
Is this normal? Realistic I assume?

There was a thread a while back in the Mods Workshop forum about running them both together to try and combine the best aspects of both:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166933

I did it for a short time and didn't have any noticeable problems either.
Strictly speaking you don't need two environmental mods running at the same time, but if you find you like the effect you get from both and it doesn't break your game, it's up to you.

Keep in mind that whichever one you enable last will overwrite any of the files that the two mods have in common with its own versions of them, so enabling them in the opposite order might give you a different look that you like better. Can't remember which order was recommended but it should be there in that thread.


Also, I noticed now at night its PITCH BLACK!! I mean I cannot even see the UZO.. ITS REALLY DARK!!
Is this normal? Realistic I assume?


I've never not been able to see the UZO when I'm standing in front of it on the bridge, regardless of the enviro mod I've got. I remember people talking about how much darker the nights got when using some mods (and I think even installing GWX had this effect for some people) but that sounds like a bit much. You can try disabling both enviro mods and then re-enabling just SH5 Water to see if maybe there is something about the combo that's causing it... other than that, maybe someone else can pipe in from experience.

[Sailor Steve]

In fact I don't use any mod that interferes with the commands.cfg files unless I can make it compatible with IO with a manual edit.
I keep a folder on my desktop with a list of all the mods I use, a copy of each mod for easy reinstall, and a copy of every in-game file I've altered, including Commands.cfg the way I want it. After every mod reinstall I put in my own files, so they are always the way I want them.

I've got a folder on my external drive where I unzip all the mods I download, so I can go in and peruse the files they add/use without messing about in any of my MODS folders in the program files. I've learned never to enable a mod without looking at what files it adds or (especially) overwrites. But then JSGME makes this easier, if I get a notice there that something from another mod is being overwritten and I wasn't expecting it I know I gotta go back and recheck some things.

I've manually edited the game's basic.cfg file so that never gets overwritten, if I have to make more edits for an additional mod I just do it manually (and like you I keep a copies of the original and all the edits, with notes about what got changed). More and more though I'm finding it easier to do those edits through Commander and let it overwrite stuff when the game loads, that way the file that's in the game folder is the original but all my desired changes are still there when I'm playing.

A few I've added due to this thread. The Seafloor and the OLC Gui are amazing amazing amazing. Its like a new game all over again. The observation periscope is now just that, I can actually 'observe' stuff!

That leads me onto one tiny question. In the OLC persicope, theres a little white dash in the centre, is that meant to be there?

Thumbs up to all the modders on here :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:
