[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[Magic1111]

The OptionsMigrater app migrates your old options settings to your new options settings. You can find it in \data\Applications. To use click File and then the rest should be fairly obvious :yep:

Aaah, found it ! Many thanks ! :yeah:

Hi,

Can you share the link for Nvidia missing lights mod. I can not find that one.

Thanks


I've found this in the patch 2 sub folder. Would someone care to say what it is exactly as I've not used it and no readme.txt file exists for it.

Cheers

Hi,

Can you share the link for Nvidia missing lights mod. I can not find that one.

Thanks
Happy that you've found it already. And nope, sorry. I have no clue which lights could have been missing either.


I was able to play again and during my days on sea I started to wonder why my watch crew always has better eyes than I do. They spot smoke on the horizon at a maximum of 18000 to 20000 meters under best conditions. The good old Kaleun wasn't able to spot anything until the ships could be seen at the horizon at around 12000 meters. Depending on mast height of course.

Now the smart Kaleun remembered having some old pictures of steamers downstairs and suddenly remembered how smoke looked like.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166121&highlight=Enhanced+Funnel+Smoke - [REL] Enhanced Funnel Smoke SH5 by HanSolo78 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=216107)
It seems to be 100% compatible with the mega mod.

Maybe that could be a nice addition to your mod pack. I am sure Han would be happy to contribute to this mega mod if you ask him TDW. :DL

On a related note I know that the modders (The "Aces of the Deep" gents) of the [RDA]Rueckkehr der Asse had some pretty smoke as well, which could be spotted at the horizon even better if I recall right. Not sure if they were using similar stuff like Han did, or completely different smoke.

Keep up the great work TDW and thanks again for saving SH5 for me :sunny:

OK - since using TDW 32-bit fix my game has been running perfectly... almost too perfectly. Not one CTD with Magnum Opus installed. Started a new campaign. Did a few tutorials. Even a couple of historical missions. No CTD.

2x quick things:

Firstly, The only mod I have installed is the Magnum Opus and the Arclight scopes (patched to the right resolution for my set up). So Im curious, is the Arclight scopes the "best scopes" (in terms of working out RAOBF etc) or is there another scope mod that works with Magnum Opus that people recommend?

and finally, I saved my game last night and tried different targeting methods on a Carrier. On three attempts it only took a single torpedo each time to sink the carrier. However when Im up against a Battleship I can hit it with 4 torpedoes and it floods a little but limps away. I have not changed the difficulty or editted any files in the Magnum Opus but was wondering: Is this normal? Shouldnt a Aircraft Carrier be able to withstand a few torpedos?

I understud the best scope that is for using the RAOFB is the Manos Scope: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=179068&page=4

Trevally made an excelent ,,tutorial,, from where you can learn to use the RAOFB:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177725&page=4

The one that i speak is the last one ,,RAOFB,, and you will see that he recomand to use the ,,manos scope,,.

[Magic1111]

Magnum Opus consists of the following mods so far (# means permission has been obtained for use):

# - Trevally: Trevally Harbour & Kiel Canal Pilot v2.4


Hi !

Can anybody please tell me how the "Canal Pilot" works and have a Link to the Original Thread of the MOD please ?

Is this an Auto-Plot through the "Kiel Canal" similar in SH3 with GWX ?

Would it be possible for you to add the "wasserbomben soundfix" mod to your mega mod?
I tried to enable it but there's a conflict with SH.SDL.

Seems to me instead of having TDW UI mod and IRAI mod and mega mod and try to put real navigation mod with mega mod but first patch UI mod then put navigation mod with mega mod......AAAAAAHHHHHHHH. Maybe a mega mod beginner and a mega mod hardcore with manos scopes and real navigation already in the hardcore .

Ahhhh......well said sober.

All this is getting a wee bit complicated not too mention frustrating.

[kraszus]

I'm trying to install this mod but SH5 crashes after selecting a mission and just as I am about to enter it. I am guessing I am not configuring it properly.

The only MOD I have enabled is Magnus Opus with Patch 2. To install, I copied the contents of Patch 2 into the v001 folder (overwriting the files within), then enabled with JSGME. I am not running any other mods.

Perhaps I should enable v001 with JSGME then enable Patch 2 with JSGME (however they both use the same folder name).

Running Win 7 x64, 6GB Ram, GTX470 GPU, UAC disabled.

Any advice?

[EDIT]
I've tried running without Patch 2 (ie just v001) and getting the same result.

[EDIT]

Bah..have just tried running SH5 stock and it's crashing also...something has gone wrong with my install it seems. Will re-install and try again.

Hi,
I think it is not a problem to install this 2 mods - perhaps you will have conflicts only with SteelViking's Interior Mod v1.2 (wich is incorporate in the megamod). These 2 mods are diferent from other mods and i do not think there are better / newer / other MODs included

Thanks Stoianm - I found out what the problem was. I had installed Visual Studio 2010 yesterday - the 2008 redistributable was causing SH5 to crash.

Have uninstalled the redistributable and all back to normal :)

So, if i will install Visual Studio 2010 i do not need the 2008 redistributable? If yes witch one? I have:

1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Alt update
2. Microsoft Visual C++2005 Redistributable
3. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Alt update
4. Microsoft Visual C++2008 Redistributable

I can remove all of them if i will install Visual Studio 2010?

Been trying to work this out by reading through the whole of this thread.

I installed this mod and the patch (took me a bit but I figured out how easy it really is to install) and everything seems to work...kinda.

I know that this game is buggy but when I was just rolling with a different UI mod and some sounds mods I had no problem...this mod (the only thing enabled with mod enabler) seems to cause very random CTD's everytime I play the game. this is not at any particular time...it just seems to happen at random.

I don't want this to sound like I am angry, I know that so much hard work went into this mod and I want it to work the best that it can...I just can't even play the game when it CTD's at random after only a short time of play.

I meet all the requirements for the game but I think that having windows XP pro 32 bit might be causing issues.

I see only two options that I can take. I could download every mod included in this pack individually and see how that works for me (kind of a extreme sort of troubleshooting) or I could locate the problem within the mod and change it...I hear that the enviroment mod could be causes some folks issues.

again...not bashing the mod, I want to make this work for me because I love the mod choices.

any ideas on what could be causing my CTD's?

thank you all so much in advance.

Mike

Anyone else have a bug on the engine room officer's abilities where it says FASTER REPAIR instead of faster max speed?

I put a point in it and i think i got a knot or at least a half of one, so maybe just a typo from crew ability mod?

HI,

I fight with the keyboard layout !:hmmm:

I use the key L in the ...UserOptions.py.
Why can I not use Shift+L and/or Ctrl+L in the commands.cfg?

I would like to use following:
FollowSelectedTargetHotKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.L ]

and

[Cmd343]
Name=WP_Identify_target
Contexts=1
MnID=0x3F130002
Key0=0x4c,Cs,"Shift+L"
StringID=1073
HasDelayedExecution=Yes

If "FollowSelectedTargetHotKey" is activatetd, Shift+L does not work.
If "FollowSelectedTargetHotKey" is deactivatetd, Shift+L is working.

Why does this not work together? What does it is wrong?

regards

Ruby

[TheDarkWraith]

most likely to do with the way I coded the hotkey for the ToggleFollowSelectedTarget:

# follow selected target
if key == FollowSelectedTargetHotKey[1]:
if FollowSelectedTargetHotKey[0]:
from Pagelayout import ToggleFollowSelectedTarget
ToggleFollowSelectedTarget( None )
args.Handled = True

The highlighted in yellow says no need to check for this key anymore

Thanks in advance.

I have had many complaints about the underwater color and brightness of the underwater. I'm thinking about removing it from the mod and releasing another patch that will cover this and some other items.

[marleymen]

Ok. I´ll wait for that patch. And about the uboat skin, wich files should I delete to return to original uboat skin? I prefer the grey original one.

And congrats for your work this week. You made lot of improvements with that Mines, Subnets and Icebergs. Sure will be a new incentive to more modders to come SH5.

Hello TDW,


Good to see adding Lite Campaign. Makes objectives more realistic.
The change for IRAI to 0.85 difficulty is a good choice. +1

Make the underwater colour optional mod, not required in the mod.

Hi TDW:
Could you add these ones (Don´t know if they are already in MO) :
Mines
Subnets
Icebergs
Sober´s base fog mechanics


BTW, got an issue with MO + patch2, but it can happen due to my GTX285. Randomly, the flag dissapears and sometimes, it just gets white or blue (seems that I am trying to surrender the boat :damn: )

Other "bug" that happens from time to time: planes pass over my u-boat without attacking. I mean, for example, at 12:20 planes just pass over the boat; at 12:35 they attack but just once; at 12:45 just pass over; at 13:15 just pass over; at 13:30 they attack several times and so on.

Thanks for your amazing work, you are making SHV a new and great sim, something that Ubi did not achieve :salute:

Otto, i didn´t have that issue, but mine is an ATi card.

About the planes, maybe it is because they ran out of ammo (bombs) like Trevally said.

About the flag....well, recently upgraded the nvidia controllers to the last ones. On the other hand, when I was using the flag mod, it never had a problem. It started with Magnum Opus... any idea?

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=1571

Thanks!:salute:

move your mousewheel and you'll see that I've already included something like it. You can also zoom camera on sub free cam and object cam (from camera bar)

[stoianm]

By the way, i was noticed that a lot of people are using Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.2 MFCM Basemod after your MO mod, and, they do not knot that are overiting your sh file from TDW FIX. Maybe you can update you SH file or ask Stormy to update his sound mod collection.

Will you consider to make an MO parts only with sounds mods in the future?

Thanks!:salute:

[Magic1111]

The new version (v0.0.5) of MO will be released when TheGeneral completes his work on the icebergs for the campaign :yep:

This version will not be a patch but a complete version

Hi TDW !

That sounds very good ! :yeah:

But two questions:

1.) I think in the forthcoming complete version of MO (0.0.5) is the version 6.3.7 (Patch) from your GUI MOD then included, right ? :hmmm:

2.) What for Files from actually MO must I save, that I have in MO 0.0.5. the same color of underwater Look (or have you please an Download Link from the Original-MOD) ? Or you offer the underwater color MOD to "Optional MOD Folder" which comes with 0.0.5 for those who want the underwater color MOD ?!

Thanks for answer,
Magic:salute:

[stoianm]

Hi TDW,

I read somewhere on the forum that you made changes in TDW FIX to have the same results with ones from External Torp Reload Time - wamphyri mod. :hmmm:

I, and magic1111 also, want to enable this mod but i have conflicts with MO!:hmmm:

Is ok, or your MO reload the external torpedo in the same maner like External Torp Reload Time - wamphyri mod?:06:

Thanks!

MO and FX Update both have the external torp reload time set to the time recommended by wamphyri

[TheDarkWraith]

Hi TDW,

which dds-file is the german-flag on the u-boat?

best regards and thanks

Ruby

from the included documentation file:

The .dds files used for the flags can be changed to whatever the user wants. See \SubFlags_0_0_6_byTheDarkWraith\data\Textures\TNor mal\tex' for the files used. As an example, the following .dds file is for VIIA flag 1: 7A_Flag_1.dds.
Breakdown of naming convention:
7A - type of sub
Flag - denotes for flag
_1 - denotes flag 1 (top flag)
_2 - denotes flag 2 (bottom flag)
Flag 1 is the top flag. Flag 2 is the bottom flag.
The flags have their alpha channels enabled so user can do some neat tricks with the flags (weathering, tearing, tattered look, etc.)

[Ruby2000]

Hi TheDarkWraith,

many thanks.

I hope I'm not derailing any topics, but I'm having some problems and I didn't know where to turn.

I recently install the Magnum Opus Mod with Patch 2 and I've been experiencing some annoying and strange problems. First, I had extreme frame rate drops, but I removed Steelvikings shadow mod and that seems to have fixed things up just fine.

But I'm still experiencing some odd graphic glitches. For example, the screen will go black. I can still move around and hear the sound of my footsteps, just the screen is black. If I alt-tab out of the game and go back, it will fix the problem, but then it happens again. I also experience glitches like things disappearing when I move the mouse pointer over them, then when I click, they reappear. I've also had the water completely disappear and I can see the ground and it looks like the boat is floating through the air. I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card and I thought that solved the problem, but the glitches reappeared when I started a new campaign and finished the tutorial. I also have a lot of random crashes to desktop. I've tried lowering my settings, but I still experience the same problem. I should also note that these issues only seem to occur in the campaign. I've tried playing some historical missions and everything runs just fine.

So has anyone else experienced these problems, and if so, please tell me how to fix them. They are very frustrating and annoying. I hope it's not a mod issue, because I really don't think I can play SH5 without MO mod. It would just suck too much.

Also, my system checks out for all system requirments. I am using an ATI card, 5700, 1gig of ram I believe. So again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

And how much RAM you have, and how many cores in a processor? If one core is almost normal, if you have 2 gigabytes of memory it is very small. Video card out of it then plays a minor role. In the foreground memory, the more memory to s top.

I have a dual core process and 2 gigs of ram. I pass all the system requirements in the test the game does when you first install. And the game runs fine on historical missions, even on full settings, so I'm not sure what is causing the problem with the campaign. Could it be something to do with saves sychronized online? I've switched it off, but when I start the game at the main menu, it still says games are sycrhonized from server. Is that normal? Should that message appear at all?

No it will not be part of MO anymore. MO is going to be out of the box for the total beginner.

Any add-on mod from my UIs mod can be used in MO though so don't worry :yep: You'll just need to enable the add-on mods wanted from my UIs mod.

[stoianm]

Can you change the explanation at post #1 with the ones that you gived to me: ,,You can still adjust, that's why they are there. The values have changed that's all and you have min and max for each sensor. The values are now 0-100 with 0 being no sensor. Default values are 85 for min and 100 for max for each sensor. Intermediates will probably want to use 85 min and 95 max and beginners will probably want to use 80 min and 90 max.'':06:

Because of that i was a little bit confused!:DL

Thanks!

Hi TDW,

If your MO it is able to make a crash dive with telleport to obs scope then wy when i play the trevally script Pesky Aeroplanes! i must be below decs?:hmmm:

Thanks!

[mobucks]

While catering to the total beginner is understandable, where will I turn to for a mod that caters towards total realism? I dont really see how removing something from the mod that creates realism is helping/hindering a beginner, when there are plenty of options "in game" to cater to said beginner. ie. Map Contacts on/External Cam ect ect.

Another option i find odd is the "allow to recieve radio messages below surface" option. What is the realistic value for this? I would guess a sub cannot reciever radio when submerged, so why not have that value at a realistic base so someone who just wants to play a realistic sub game can jump in and play, regardless of difficulty, a sub that behaves realisticly? Same can be said for most effeicent speed option and a few others maybe.

I certainly dont see a lot of people posting how the game is too hard because of these added options, quite the contrary, these are issues with the base game that were requested to be fixed from the get-go.

IMHO, any option that can be changed through modding, in MO, should default to a realistic value. We are after all playing a sub simulation here.

Hello all,

I just had quick question about Magnum Opus. As some of you may have noticed from a pervious post, I was having problems after installing the mod with patch 2, including graphic glitches and crashing to desktop. So after a few days of pulling my hair out, I removed Magnum, did a fresh install of SH5, and added some select mods. I managed to start a campaign, do a patrol in and around the harbour, and return to base, all without any glitches or crashes. My system still seemed to be working a little hard, but I was running on full detail across the board. But still, no problems. So I'm thinking it had something to do with Magnum Opus, and my money is probably on the Envro mod.

Is there anyway to install Magnum without the envro mod? There are so many great things in Magnum that I would like to have, like the IRAI mod that I can't seem to find anywhere else to download. So if there is anyway to install Magnum without envro, please let me know. Thanks!

No, you can not instal MO without env mod.

All the mods that TDW use in his MO you can find on this forum - it is a search section -

You can see the list of the mods that TDW used in MO in last page post#1

The thing is that TDW made change to make some mods compatible - if you will try to install stand allone mods you will have conflicts somethimes.

Before i used to play with all the mods that TDW used in MO and many more - but is better with MO.

If you install all the mods made by TDW you will not have conflicts (just to install in the corect order)

In your place first i will start with new uis by TDW v6.3.7 after IRAI and so on.

I made what you want to try now: a lots of the problems that i had and a lots of advices you will find at this thread:

I finally found out after 2 days of tearing my hair out why my sobers 100% underwater FX mod wouldnt work with Magnum Opus . I was also getting on occasion a faulting SHSim.act file and excessive sun glare in fog and other things . some PFX files wernt being read by the game .
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Filters\underwater in particular . After 2 days i tracked down the offending file to be
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1\data\Misc\underwater_dis p_map

It is saved as 32 bit whereas it should be saved as DXT5

i was thinkig at this mod of yours - the mean of the mod is to have like ,,real visibility'' when you are sweeping your scope underwater:hmmm:

What i am not able to understand is why you are sweeping your scope underwater? - what advantage you have when you do that (when you sweep your scope under water?)

I was thinking at this and i am very curios:damn:

Ok, i see - so if you are using for example the mod AilImpurity 1.2 or (the vanilla version) then you will be able to see very clear underwater at long distance and hunt ships with the scope underwater - that make the relity go.

Your mod it is like an anticheat to increase the reality of the game!:yep:

When the mod will be god to go i will use it?:up:

A quick couple of questions:

1. Its troubling me that 'My' Uboat (Type7a) may have a fixed max depth, that is, every new campaign with a type7a will always and only go to xxx depth before crushing, obviously, each and every boat would have had a different final depth all be it similar one in most cases. I've located the data/submarine/ type7a.cfg file. where i found the "Max depth" option which had a value of 200m. Now my question is, is this the depth the boat can go to before crushing? And if so, i will get my trusty assistant to type a new value between 200-225m without my knowing thus leaving me always guessing at the final depth!

2. This is a simple one. Im now on my second patrol having spent 22 days at sea in September....i've never seen any rain at all, is it modelled or did the environment mod remove it in some way??

Thanks

[Poacher886]

Thanks, i guess ive hit the right file then?

There are only three things that make 'your' boat different to evey other one of that type you will venture out on.

1. Its Number
2. Its Emblem
3. Its Max depth.

Lets at least cling to those three eh!

[Silent Steel]

sorry to hear some people are CTDing. I also have had no issues, other than the radio messages box not closing when i click the small X in its top right corner.

Also helps to state your rig setup/Operating System in case this can be narrowed to something like that.

I have a question too concerning the message box:

When I've read a message and want to delete it I hit the "Delete" but the message wont go away.
First after closing and then opening the box again the deleted message is gone... :hmmm:

Check some pages back about fixes I proposed for running amount of memory. If you're using a 32bit OS this is probably what's happening to you.

and the ,,32bit OS - fix'' that TDW explained also, offcource

Salute!:salute:

[TheBeast]

If it isn't already, this should be a [TEC] Sticky...

Here is something to try for those of you having CTDs or using 32 bit OS:

Try this only if you have at least 2 GByte of RAM and at your own risk and using Vista/Win7 32 bit version.
First download the explorer from http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php
Next make a backup copy of SH5.exe. Then start "CFF Explorer" and open the orginal SH5.exe file.
Now go to NT Header/File Header and click File Header. There you will find a button labeld "click here". Click it and select the mark at "App can handle> 2gb adressest "
Save the modified EXE, overwrite the orginal one (You do have your backup of it in a safe location right?).
If you run Windows Vista 64 or Windows XP 64 or Win7 64 you're ready and didnt need to read on. The rest is only for Windows Vista 32/Win7 32 or maybe Windows XP.
Now make Windows Vista/Win7 (32-Bit) ready to support more than 2 GByte.
Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find it under "Programs->Accessories->Command prompt" click right and select "run as administrator".
Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" (without quotes) in the command window and press enter.
After that restart windows

To reset back to 2GB limit:
to reset the Increased User Adressspace just start the commandline prompt with Admin right again and enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2048"

See if the above helps at all :yep:

Another idea is to install previous version of DirectX ( < v11). I have Win7 64bit but ALWAYS install previous DirectX versions for compatibility reasons. Go to Microsoft's website and search for DirectX. Run the DirectX web installer from their website. You can have DirectX9 AND DirectX11 installed on Win7.

EDIT:

just checked the sh5.exe file and it's large address aware so enabling the 3GB switch in 32bit OSs should help:

@TDW How is it going the new version of the mega mod ?? My crew is spending much time in Lorient´s canteen :nope: and the submarine in dry docks does not help Doenitz. :arrgh!:

Until that Captain Marley is improving his english reading "Hitler´s Uboat War: The Hunters 1939-1942"

Hello,

Thanks to TDW for the great mod. Everything seems to work fine but the hydrophone. The hydrophone works fine in the tutorial missions but does not work when in career mode. I can't hear any contacts even if close and the hydrophone operator can not hear them either. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my mode load out:

Hello im pretty new to the mod seen, but enjoy the things i got working so far. Thank you for the time you put in to this.

I just got 1 question, i got the mod to work and installed true JGME. I Downloaded the patch also, as recommended, but i have no clue how to instal it. True JMGE i received a error message.

I know it might be a stupid question but and i've searched true countlees posts but some how cant find the answer.

usually when i aplied the patch i followed these steps (you must desable the mod first before start):

1) go to the location: C:Magnum_Opus_Patch_2\MODS

here you will find the folder: Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1

copy the folder

2) go to the location where you have the MO : C:Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1

paste the file here - overwritte all the folders and files that are in conflict

3) copy the folder Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 from the location C:Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 in C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS

Enable the mod via JMGE

P.S. do not forget to migarte you old option.py before enabling the mod

also make sure to be below 15m depth

[Drewcifer]

using only the mega mod, my sub cannot find PD ever, at any speed. Everytime I order Periscope depth I end up between ten and eight meters, conning tower breaking the surface and my sub screaming hey looking at me.

I generally have to manually select 15-20 meters, which will let me linger around 12 meters so that i'm not breaking the surface of the water with nearly my entire sub.

Oh and the snorkel depth might as well just be decks a wash, because thats what I use it for.

This has been a problem for me as well since even before MO, it must be some mod. It would be nice to see this area ironed out.

I hazard a guess towards the UHS mod or the wave height mod.

[ustahl]

most likely to do with the way I coded the hotkey for the ToggleFollowSelectedTarget:

# follow selected target
if key == FollowSelectedTargetHotKey[1]:
if FollowSelectedTargetHotKey[0]:
from Pagelayout import ToggleFollowSelectedTarget
ToggleFollowSelectedTarget( None )
args.Handled = True

The highlighted in yellow says no need to check for this key anymore

Hi TDW, :salute:

Where exactly is that yellow portion 'args.Handled = True' to be added/found? Which file?
Above explanation of your's is obviously very clear to your goodself, as it is your own coding/scripting, but to us other primitive mortals it seems a bit cryptic. :timeout:

Might you have some time & patience to explain how exactly to apply that setting and what it does? How does it affect TDWOptions.py and/or Commands.cfg? :know:

Is it possible to use the same key for different functions/commands in both Commands.cfg and TDWOptions.py, differentiated by combinations with Shift and/or Ctrl?
Example: one command "B" in Commands.cfg and different command "Shift+B" in TDWOptions.py. Possible or not?:06:

Did a clean reinstall of sh-5 , installed mega-mod + patch 2. Still ctd upon loading into bunker or into single mission. my machne far exeeds recommended requirement. I starting to get anoyyed . Not towards the maker of this mod but i cant seem to figure out what makes the game crash all the time. Did the tutorial and my conning tower disapeared and some other parts of the hull . I dont know what i can do to make this mod work . I guess for some is does and for some it doesnt.


I was in the exact same position about 45 min ago.

Then it dawned on me ... the game most likely needed to be updated to to version 1.12. You would assume that with all this must be logged into server, DRM, etc, that it would just be automatically done. It's not. Never mind that fact that in the very first post it clearly states the game needs to be updated, in bold, in bright yellow ... like a giant eye sore ;)

Go to C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater
run the little app (gu)

I know ... I felt stupid too ;)

with that being said ... I am still in a mild sense of shock as to the amount of amazing work that TDW has done. I just spent 35 - 40 min just soaking in the new UI.

Hope this helps

[NeonsStyle]

How do I install the patch? I tried loading it into JSGME
but that just disabled magnum opus.

As a side note... could the modders please leave better
instructions on installation / patching for those of us
who really don't know all this stuff please? When it's
just install into JSGME then it's easy, but I'm stuck in
this patch.

I thought I should unzip it all into the magnum opus folder,
but all the folder names are different, so I guess that won't
work.

Thanks for great work...

Oh I can't get it into SH4 mode... I edited the script and
set the option to 2 for sh4 (it was SH5Enhanced), but it
doesn't work.

[BigBANGtheory]

Is is feasible to have an options screen in game like the realism settings?

Hello,
and first thank you for this mod to everyone who is involved - great job.
but i have a problem with it:

i started a new campaign in kiel and it seems that the harbor is gone.
on th navmap all looks fine, but in "3D-view" all the buildings, piers, cranes are gone.
only the ships are there and the sub pen with my boat in it.

i have installed:
- silent hunter5 patched to 1.2
- Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 + patch2
- Shadow Improvement ModLR

no other mods till now.
i have the harbor back when i disable the mods.
i dont know what is causing this, maybe someone have an idea?

Hi SuperCavitation,

I know that tdw is travelling far away from his home and maybe will be not online today - so suposing that you are impatinet to play i think is ok for you if i try to respond to your question?

The MO came with the stock scopes - you must to take the file with the scopes that you like and aply after MO (not enable the whole file because there are like 3 diferent type of scopes inside) - you must to chose the right one: suposing you are playing the game at a ratio of 16x9 and you want to use MRP scopes than you must to enable the mod MRP 16x9 ratio

About the NVidia Missing Lights - i have enabled after MO (even it says that is in conflict with MO) and i have not problems so for - so i am sure that is ok to enable this one

Salute:salute:

Is the attack scope supposed to be this long, seems odd compared to the OB scope. Only mod Im running is MO.

http://img831.imageshack.us/f/48588781.jpg/


___

[Drewcifer]

yes, because the attack scope was based inside the conning tower itself.. where as the obs scope was based in the con room. The obs scope was for quick checks or scaning the sky for planes.

The attack scope allowed the sub to remain deeper, and its small head made it harder to detect.

Now i'm not sure the mod has the scopes set at exact historical value, but yes the attack scope was taller.

1)disable the mod

2)In the option.py you will find the line:

ShowItemNotes = False change here with True

you will have after that the line displayed like this:

ShowItemNotes = True

3) save
4) enable the mod

now you will have the informations that you want displayed in nav or tai map:up:

Question for you all ...

I absolutely love this mod (all of you that made the elements of it ... thanks!)

The only issue I am having is at night, it's so dark I can barely see the UZO on the bridge. For me it's just too dark and I was wondering if there is a way to lighten the night sky?

Is it possible to remove that element from the environmental mod that is included in MO (or change it so I can see at night to some degree).

Please don't take this as a knock ... I have a good idea as to the amount of work that goes into the mod and I mean no offense.

Thanks!

I second that. It's so dark that it makes surface night attacks completely impractical, though this was the attack method of choice until the advent of the radar. I cannot see ships at less than 1 km at night.

I think you can use colour filters in all periscope (don´t know UZO) in MO (TDW UI has them since 6.3.x). Just click and change colour.

[panosrxo]

You can always change brightness and contrast...It will help seeing in the dark

[stoianm]

i use ,,HUD'' (in obs scope, attack scope and UZO). I make an combination of RGB to have a color as close as posible to white and i use a gamma of 20 - 40. I keep my ,,hud,, setted like this and when i have dark nights i enable with a click of a mouse - in the day time i just disable. Quiq and simple:up:

[stoianm]

no need for modding that my friend:D - this thing was implemented long time ago by TDW in his UIs so is already in magnum opus.

When you are using the attack periscope (for example) if you look in the left side of the screen you will see an icon where is writted ,,HUD'' - under the ,,RAOFB,, icon - there you must to click and play with it.

P.S. if you can not manage to find that let me know and i will post a picture for you

Aah, I did know those, of course, had just forgotten abt them for a tick.:zzz::oops:

Thanks for straightening me out, anyway!:yeah:

What I would like, however, would be a method to make the night blackness a bit lighter to enable slightly better visibility when on deck without using any optic devices but merely own eyes. That would also improve looking at boat with external (follow) camera view at night, seeing at least a little bit.

Thanks for the replies in regards to this. I use the HUD option (a great mod for sure).

The problem is for me (and thanks for posting these pictures) that the night sky is as black as the black mask that makes up the scope. The only thing I can see is the white foam from the waves, the stars and the moon. I can make out a ship once it is way too close and it's had a visual on me.

If my scope at 23:35 looked like these in the images above, I would be over the moon ;)

Question ... do the nav and super marks stay as part of a saved game or do they get wiped away like the sunken ship icons?

And is it generally crash free to save on the surface without being in contact of the brits? I assume like SH3 saving while submerged is a bad idea?

I've been here all along just out on the road on assignment currently.

The supermarks and navigational fixes are saved with your campaign. If you use them in single mission they are not saved.

It is recommended to save while surfaced and not in presence of any ships.

Movies:o that would be great TDW - I would use this for end of section reviews:yeah:

hmm...color...that could be tricky. Are you wanting a single word or sentence to change color? If it's a sentence is it a single sentence or a sentence in a group of sentences?

[Trevally.]

If it could be a command - changecolour###### etc

Then I could use it with the next displaytext.
This would give me a sentance.
If I use addtext I could split this sentance and get a word in another colour or words:06:

Thanks TDW... i did actually see these, but i noticed they were set to false, except the last one...that must be it. cheers

If all those are set to False and you still get the yellow exclamation point(s) then there is a serious problem somewhere.

Is there even a depth limit set on crash dives? I have yet to ever see my men level off after a crash dive without me forcing them to before crush depth, or smashing into the ground.

Look in \data\Submarine\NSS_Uboatxx\NSS_Uboatxx.cfg. There it will tell you what the max depth is for the sub in question. It will also tell you all the other dive depths that can be ordered.

It was indeed the last option that was set to 'true', setting this to false has rid me of my yellow beacon of light! and i can now accept my primary mission as complete.

However you do seem to loose the radio reports placement on the map of a new area to patrol...not that i need the guidence, but it was sort of convincing to be given an area to patrol.

On a side note, two things i've noticed:

I pick a U-boat number at the start of a campaign by using an external randomiser and inputting the real numbers only for the U-boat type...could this not be included as a formality when starting a new campign or receiving a new boat?

Also, i've noticed with some delight, that the text box messages do refer to me as my selected U-number of U-27, yet the radio messages from BDU prefer to call me U-30??

One other thing...any chance of lights on neutral ships. A russian merchant has already found that playing in the dark while reporting my location is not recomended.


Edit: Lol i've just seen the following posts and the button i must have pressed....Doh!

[GT182]

This might be the wrong place to ask and seem a bit dumb, but here it goes.....

Is there a way to get the watch crew to do something else, until they're out of the sub pen at least, besides using their binoculars? It's probably hard coded tho and nothing can be done.

You can enable/disable the player guidance icons or player objectives icons at anytime by clicking the icons for them in the top right bar

[Ducimus]

Are there any known issues with the SH5 CTD'ing on start up of a campaign game with the mod enabled? Is there something else i should be doing besides enabling the root mod plus patch in JSGME?

Particulars in my case:
- Installed SH5,
- D/L mod plus patch.
- Pulled the correct directories out of the packages, and brought them to the MODS directory instead of nested 3 layers deep, and enabled in JSGME. Main release first, patch second, overwriting existing files.
- Started game, and it loaded to the main menu.
- started a new career game, typed in silent otto to bypass the first mission and selected Happy times.
- Game loads, and then when it's about to drop you into the bunker, it CTD's.

It then dawned on me that maybe ubisofts launcher doesn't autopatch the game anymore. (for some reason i thought it did.) D/L patch 1.1, installed it, reinstalled the mod, same issue.


I'm gonna reinstall Sh5, for giggles and grins in case for whatever reason i have a bad install.


--------------------------

The only feedback i can give thus far, is that on the release version of the mod (I realize this is a beta):

- Having the main mod (and patch) nested below 2 or 3 directories surrounded by optional eratta is confusing at first. Took me a couple minutes to figure out what i was looking at, and where it was located.

- Documentation could be better organized. Id suggest putting the readme's for the various mods used in a subdirectory within the documentation directory. That way its not cluttering up the main documentation directory and finding what is most immediately pertinent is much easier.

[dcb]

It then dawned on me that maybe ubisofts launcher doesn't autopatch the game anymore. (for some reason i thought it did.)


Indeed, there's no more autopatching from Ubi. Noticed it myself when I reinstalled the game last month, so I had to install both patches myself.

BTW, it's silentotto (just one word, not two).

[QUOTE=TheDarkWraith;1516072]Magnum Opus v0.0.1 (BETA version for testing/feedback purposes)


Mod setup:
- The IRAI part of the mod has been setup with hydrophone/sonar difficulty at 0.85


contact tails, etc.). Although it is setup for the complete beginner to use the AI difficulty might be too much for the beginner. You can adjust the AI difficulty by editing the following file \data\Scripts\AI\init.aix. Find the following section:

###################### Difficulty parameters ####################
# Note: difficulty is in range 0.0 - 1.0 with 0.0 being no difficulty (sensor doesn't exist)
# for non-merchants
VISUAL_DIFFICULTY = 1.0;
HYDROPHONE_DIFFICULTY = 1.0;
RADAR_DIFFICULTY = 1.0;
SONAR_DIFFICULTY = 1.0;

# for merchants
VISUAL_DIFFICULTY_MERCHANT = 1.0;
HYDROPHONE_DIFFICULTY_MERCHANT = 1.0;
RADAR_DIFFICULTY_MERCHANT = 1.0;
SONAR_DIFFICULTY_MERCHANT = 1.0;

Difficulty is from 0.0 to 1.0 with 1.0 meaning 100% difficulty. I recommend adjusting only the highlighted values. If you are a beginner I would recommend values of 0.8-0.85 for those highlighted. If you are an intermediate I would recommend 0.85-0.9 for those values. If you are an expert I would recommend 0.9-1.0 for those values.

I find great enjoyment using it as it is now. It's a challenge to play and all the visual enhancements are awesome to look at on screen :D"



I initially set the difficulty too low, want to set back to the default 1.0 but the ini.aix file is not there after the initial change I made.

the init.aix is all the time in the same place (related to where you install your sh5 and where you put your mods)

1)desable the MO
2) go to C:\ubisoft\sh5\MODS\Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1\data\Script s\AI
3)modif the init.aix
4) enable the MO

or if you not want to desable and enable the MO but with the same results in the game:

1)go to C:\ubisoft\sh5\MODS\Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1\data\Script s\AI
2)modif the init.aix
3)go to C:\ubisoft\data\Scripts\AI

You should be able to do what you are wanting to do. args.handled=True means that the event (in this case keydown) has been handled and can thus be 'closed' - no further processing needed by the game for it.

In the last patch for NewUIs I changed how hotkey presses worked. Only if the hotkey is enabled, the hotkey is pressed, and any modifiers are active (shift required, control required, etc.) then it will issue an args.hanlded=True. If the conditions are not met then args.Handled isn't set. Thus, theoretically, you should be able to assign say key B to something in the options file and shift+B to something else in the commands.cfg file.

[TheDarkWraith]

Well I have an idea.....it appears the game assigns you a unique hull number in the \Documents\SH5\data\cfg\playersettings.cfg file. What if instead of editing the options file to change your uboat hull number I read this file to get the uboat hull number? The only drawback is you can't assign your own u-boat hull number unless you edit that file. I think this is the best way to go.

Briliant ideea:woot: - no problem if we can not choose our number but in this way we are close from reality (BDU give use the uboat number and in game we will be called with the same name in both places) - but i think that somethimes this number is changing - can you program that to read this number each time when starting a new campaign?

P.S. I liked a lot to have my name diplayed on the game - in the messages radio box - :wah: but i think is much better in the way that you want to change now

Hi Ducimus,

You need to D/L to patch 1.2


And where would THAT be? I made sure i had the latest patch. From the horses mouth itself. Ubisoft:

Here's ALL the patch's Ubisoft has listed for SH5:
http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.aspx?pId=8589&tab=download&dcId=63

Just one patch. Version 1.1.

Which struck me as odd, i thought there was two. So i looked at Sh4's page to see if they were all listed there:
http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.aspx?pId=5165&tab=download&dcId=63
And they are.

So why would i not think that patch 1.1.5 is the latest one? If there's a patch 1.2, where the hell is it? Because it sure as hell isn't at ubisoft.

there's an easy way to tell if you have the latest patch or not from Ubi. When the game starts at the menu screen look in the top right corner. It will tell you what version you are using. Mine says v. 1.2.0

if the harbor is there without mods and then it's gone when i enable OM, could it still be a memory problem? i thought, if something is wrong with my system, then it doesnt matter if i enable the mod or not - the harbor wont be there anyways. just a thought, i dont know...

Here is something to try for those of you having CTDs or using 32 bit OS:

Try this only if you have at least 2 GByte of RAM and at your own risk and using Vista/Win7 32 bit version.
First download the explorer from http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php
Next make a backup copy of SH5.exe. Then start "CFF Explorer" and open the orginal SH5.exe file.
Now go to NT Header/File Header and click File Header. There you will find a button labeld "click here". Click it and select the mark at "App can handle> 2gb adressest "
Save the modified EXE, overwrite the orginal one (You do have your backup of it in a safe location right?).
If you run Windows Vista 64 or Windows XP 64 or Win7 64 you're ready and didnt need to read on. The rest is only for Windows Vista 32/Win7 32 or maybe Windows XP.
Now make Windows Vista/Win7 (32-Bit) ready to support more than 2 GByte.
Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find it under "Programs->Accessories->Command prompt" click right and select "run as administrator".
Enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072" (without quotes) in the command window and press enter.
After that restart windows

To reset back to 2GB limit:
to reset the Increased User Adressspace just start the commandline prompt with Admin right again and enter "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2048"

See if the above helps at all :yep:

Another idea is to install previous version of DirectX ( < v11). I have Win7 64bit but ALWAYS install previous DirectX versions for compatibility reasons. Go to Microsoft's website and search for DirectX. Run the DirectX web installer from their website. You can have DirectX9 AND DirectX11 installed on Win7.

EDIT:

just checked the sh5.exe file and it's large address aware so enabling the 3GB switch in 32bit OSs should help:

Here is something to try for those of you having CTDs or using 32 bit OS:

Try this only if you have at least 2 GByte of RAM and at your own risk and using Vista/Win7 32 bit version.

Hi TDW,

what is a Starshell shooting gun that i can to add for each ship in MO.

I can add also warning and horns? i never heard a horn in sh5.

[marleymen]

@TDW,
Do you have any news about Magnum Opus new release?

:oops::oops:

(sorry, I needed to ask)

[TheDarkWraith]

@TDW,

:oops::oops:

(sorry, I needed to ask)

I just stumbled into some exciting stuff so not sure at the moment. I might have just found the answer to many things I've been wanting to do in the game.

[THE_MASK]

Its like christmas every day :woot:

Damm ......ohh ..... wait ... :woot:

Tell us what is about. A little preview :arrgh!: . It will make delay more relaxed.

@sober If seems like Christmas everyday then TDW is .... :rotfl2:

I'm writing another .dll now.....this will tell me what I need to know (for now)

This could be interesting!:D

[Church SUBSIM]

Please let it be the Kreigsmarine Map :) I miss the grids on the maps.

[Obelix]

Please let it be the Kreigsmarine Map :) I miss the grids on the maps.

I Agree :up:

[TheDarkWraith]

Please let it be the Kreigsmarine Map :) I miss the grids on the maps.

there was one obstacle that definitely had to be overcome before we could do stuff like that: be able to tell when the map zoomed in/out. Now with my .dll for the mouse I wrote I should be able to tell when the map zooms in/out. I'll work on that part (being able to tell map zoom in/out) tomorrow :DL Should be fairly simple now. The map fires an event when the zoom level changes but it doesn't tell you if you zoomed in or out. So with that event and my mouse .dll when the event fires I query my .dll for the Z axis of the mouse (the mousewheel) and see if the value increased (zoomed) or decreased (unzoomed). Simple.

[Church SUBSIM]

Well ... since you are at it ... how about adding a little world peace as well?

TDW ... hero status

Hey - question for you ... can I add MightyFineCrew Mod 1.2.1 Alt w beards on top of MO (patched)? I know there are a lot of overwrites but I am assuming that they are from your incorporation of the default version.

Thanks

don't believe so. Something has to be updated in it to work correctly.

Was too excited about the possibility of being able to finally tell if the map zoomed in or out so I had to code it and test:

Works perfectly :rock: One major obstacle overcome :D

Now I can make the bearing overlay scale with zoom level and .....?

[Church SUBSIM]

Thanks for the quick response.

You know ... you are setting the bar pretty damn high ... grats on your new discovery! Like everyone here - looking forward to it's release!

[rascal101]

Well here goes one last time - is there an eta re the next incarnation of the Mega Mod - surly a simply yes or no is good, and if yes can we get an idea when

[TheDarkWraith]

You know ... you are setting the bar pretty damn high ... grats on your new discovery! Like everyone here - looking forward to it's release!

the bar has pretty much been pushed out of reach of about 99% of the people here :oops:. Unless you can write code in C# (or C++) and python, make custom .dlls, know how to extract data from running processes, familiar with DirectX and DirectInput and DirectSound, and familiar with reverse engineering, there isn't much one can do except change textures, create menu items for the gui, and alter the .cfg and .txt files. I gotta tell you though I'm having a total ball with SH5 :D

[Church SUBSIM]

Yes, it's evident that you are having a good time with it. There is nothing like the satisfaction that comes with problem solving.

This community here in regards to modding has been pretty incredible - there are a ton of very creative people. I was trying to explain it to a friend of mine ... he's going to take a look at picking up the sim based on the concept of mods.

btw ... shift_I for the Chalkboard ... you have got to be kidding me ... how cool is that!

[Ducimus]

After surmounting the mountain of stupidity on my part i got TDW's mega mod beta working. I have to hand it, I was really impressed. Lots of functionality. Haven't really played it yet, just clicking on all the options and exploring things within the game. All very impressive.

Unfortunately, all SH5 did was inspire me to go back and fix a couple things in SH4 that were bugging me, but was too lazy to do anything about. I think there's something to the sheen of the SH5, (post processing filter?) or some bits that were laggy (hardware issue) that were putting me off. Can't quite figure it out, but I'll give it another go later.

At any rate, i see my vote for subsims Modder of the year was not misplaced. :yeah:

The only thing what we not can do is change the fysic 3d model, because its a granny model.

I'm not TDW, far from it,:88) but I've been running MightyFineCrew Mod 1.2.1 Alt w beards on top of MO with Patch 2 with no problems, and recently also with NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7 on top of patched MO.
So I propose you go ahead and try it.:up:

:o you have NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7 on top of patched MO?:06: - that means that you are using the version of NewUIs_TDC by TDW that is included in MO. When you instal MO after, the files are overwrited so you are not using in fact the NewUIs_TDC_6_3_7 in this way:yep:

I think TDW UI in MO is 6.3.0. TDW changed mods list a few days ago because of he was going to release the new version (0.0.5) but it´s stopped at the moment till a few mods are completed (icebergs, mines, subnets layers in campaign) and other new investment he is doing with DLL´s.

I saw TDW said in his TDW UI post you can use 6.3.7 over MO without problems.

PS. @TDW, maybe you should put all those mods incoming in new version and the changelog apart from 0.0.2.
