[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[Magic1111]

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:

Good to know that:up:!

But is it possible, that you post an screenshot from "Alt w beards" please ? :D

Best regards,
Magic:salute:

[stoianm]

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.
i agree with you - over yes - but not in front:up: read here:

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

Sounds strange because the MO overwritte these 2 mods that he said he enabled in front of it.

[Magic1111]

Hi Folks !

For me it works perfectly, I´ve did these things:

I delete the Folder "Submarine" from the MOD "MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Alt w beards" before I enable the MOD after MO, the other Folder / Files in the MOD can overrite the Files from MO, because there are only Files that change Crew Faces / Beards. I´ve checked this before I enabled with "WinMerge" (look: http://winmerge.org/?lang=en !) So it´s no problem !!!!;)

EDIT: And another thing is, with these version has the watchofficer "Dieter Epp" a hat on !

I have loaded Magnum Opus with JSGME but am apprehensive about applying the patch. Could anyone give me a quick rundown on how to do this please?

Thanks

I have loaded Magnum Opus with JSGME but am apprehensive about applying the patch. Could anyone give me a quick rundown on how to do this please?

Thanks

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 migrate your old option.py before enabling the mod

Salute!:salute:

Hi TDW,

Could you tell us the steps on how you've managed to replace the Python code with C# and if possible some object references that are available to you? Your finds have really spiked my interest now. i'm new to C# but have many years java experience.

I presume also that the graphics engine is C++ and out of bounds of any refactoring... Would love to fix that 100m distance large wave limit from your boat.

cheers,

If you add a reference to \Silent Hunter 5\ScriptManagerWrappers.dll to your project you have all the types available that the Script Editor shows. ScriptManagerWrappers is the top namespace and you use the familiar '.' convention to access all the other namespaces. i.e.: to pass a button object from the game to your external code would look like this:

C#:
public void SomeFunction( ScriptManagerWrappers.ButtonWrapper somebutton)
{
....
}

There are other namespaces available inside that .dll but for now this is the one that interests me :yep:

[stoianm]

Hi tdw,

i want to use this mod ImprovedWaves_Improved Pitch&Roll and i have conflicts with Deepth keeping problem fixed and with MO.

you already fix that in MO? i supose that if i am using it i will scrap things in MO:hmmm:

Hi TDW,

Thanks for explanation - straightforward - will take a look and see what i can find! :03:

Keep up the great work!

Hi TDW

how can I use German letter Umlauts (ä/ö/ü/ß) in the Tutorial-Box?

For example the German word for "deck gun" is "Geschützturm" But in the Tutorial-Box does these umlauts not supported. The Output is "Gesch/tzturm" or something like that.

Is there a setting somewhere?

dont quote me on it, but i think anything without permission/awaiting permission is not yet included in MO. I say this because lite campaign is definately not included, since coastal waters (1st campaign mission) is still 50k tons, not 25k.

i have make the installation of MO with patch and do it like its write in the post about how do we will patch from v0-0-01 to patch 2 (with copy and paste between the two folder)
all is clean, with the mccd fra, but the only one bug is when i decide to talk with beno the golden ear, the game stop and it's impossible to leave the game i need to do a ctrl alt sup to stop sh5 and come back to the desk.
i am very sad about this because the game is very cool with good sound, good sim, an ai very agressive.
i am sure there's a way to stop this bug, and play with my jsgme config that you can see on the file joint.
please help a poor french guy's who love to end the pangermanique campaign and start the real war all along the french coast

Actually, after playing 100% realism (well except external camera) and sinking 89,000 ton on my first patrol, im not sure if a lite campaign is needed!!

[ollivier berry]

well i have just make a picture album on the site with link about my jsgme config
now u can have a look and say to me where's the trouble with badbeno
the golden ear :D

[Poacher886]

@TDW,

I notice you have included in your forth coming addition to MO the three sound mods by vendore, i have already installed these as i felt after your comprehensive collection it was the sound that now lacked the most.

All three sound mods are a very good improvement, although i've encounted only one issue and one gripe as follows:

After spending hours underwater trying to evade a lone tribal destroyer (im still at it!)...i decided to save the game (it was 0200hrs in the morning!) when returning the other night (still 160m underwater) the game played the diesel engine noise! after about another hour, it suddenly switched back to electric motor noise again.

Other from this i've encountered no problems thus far with the mod and MO.

Now for one gripe i've had. Despite being approx 130m-160m down, depth charges sound exactly the same as they do when heard from the surface, complete with huge long explotion and water splash!, i think if my memory serves me correct that SH4 got it spot on, with a loud but breif clap, that ended almost immediately.

While i cant pretend to have experience of depth charges, science would suggest that an underwater implotion, would be short and sharp before being consumed and not the drawn out surface sound that im currently hearing....especially at the depth im at!!

[stoianm]

[Piggy]

Hey, great to see this mega mod coming along.

Tried it out last night and I would like some feedback regarding some observations. I havent played SH5 for over 6 months and am not familiar with the current state of the mods.

During british coastal mission things were fine, lots of ships no lag. British supplies mission I have so far spent 2 hours real time patrolling around and have only enountered 1 ship. I had it in the sights and the lag started to get really bad, had to quit and reload.. .ship gone?

The lag issue is odd because I never had any problems on my previous patrol, it fixed itself after the reload but started to get progressively worse again.

And only 1 ship in two hours? (not counting lots of destroyers out hunting)

Drivers up to date and the machine is very capable of running this game.

Anyway, looking forward to the evolution of this, cheers.

Edit: I see this mentioned in optional mods "D3DAntiLag"... Can't seem to find it here, anyone know where it is? Also, just to be clear, when installing patch two we copy the entire "patch 2" folder into mods and enable via JSGME? (im asking because it didnt ask if its ok to overwrite/alter some files of the main mod like I would have expected)

Hello to all here and, in particular, a mega thank you to the hard working crew of brilliant developers for the accomplished work on this mega mod that makes that game so much more interesting. :up:

Now, here's my problem. I have been using MO patched 2.7 since my second patrol from Wilhelmshaven without any major glitches but as soon as i was transfered to Lorient the problems occured. Multiple CTD's entering the harbor, no docks or traffic showing up and the most annoying of all is, not being able to use the navigational map when exiting the harbor without CTD's. I reinstalled MO + patch many times and i still get the same results except that now, the docks are showing but, still i keep getting the ctd's on exiting the harbor if i try to use the map. I have been searching the forum for days now and i haven't yet found an answer to my problem. I have been stuck on my 5th patrol trying to exit from Lorient for days and i am getting frustrated,:hmmm: i need some help please, from any one of you fine and dedicated individual.

I hope i posted this request in the right thread and, thanks in advance from a dedicated player and obviously not a great developer.:oops:

XP so you are using 32bit OS. Have you tried enabling the 3GB switch?

[capviews]

Ok, understood, i think i came across such a suggestion before while reading the posts on the forum. I will just try that and search for the procedure.

Thanks TDW for your precious help and time, i will let you know of the results.

[The General]

Is anyone else having trouble downloading M.O. from Filefront?

Perhaps TDW is uploading v0.2? :DL

[capviews]

Ok, here's a follow up on TDW suggestion to solve my problem.

I followed the procedure to activate the 3 gig switch to find out that my SH5.exe file was already bumped up for the 3 gig switch. When came the time to tell windows to do just that i realised that bcdedit does not work with xp. I googled how to do it in xp with no satisfactory explanations. I fiddled around with antilag also but still to no avail. Same results.

In conclusion, i will revert to getting more RAM, to the max that my board can accept and, give it another crack. I need this mod to play this game nothing less will suffice.

If anyone has some other kind of advice please let me know.

Kindly cheers to all.

Steve:salute:The way i understand it with xp is getting more physical ram wont help .

[TheDarkWraith]

The way i understand it with xp is getting more physical ram wont help .

After 4GB XP cannot address the physical memory and thus it's wasted.

2 to the 32 second power is (rounded) 4GB. That's all that a 32bit processor can physically address. With the 3GB switch on the Kernel is given 1GB of physical RAM and everything is given the remainder 3GB. Normally the Kernel is given 2GB.

[Budds]

Well Cap, ya probably wont like what I got to offer... but here goes...

I had VERY similar problems to what you describe, and I did all the "Tweaks" I could find for weeks.... No Cure !
Changing Video drivers back a couple series helped... but still random CTDs and glitched Grafx sometimes.

Then I bit the Bullet !
Got a Video card that had more memory..... Boom, problem solved !!!
Had an ATI Card w/512 .... now have a gig.
I only have two gigs of Ram on the Motherboard and have not changed that..... only change was the Grafx Card.

Sh5 seems to REALLY work your Card !
From monitoring Heat and workloads while trying to cure my own sh5 issue.... It was apparent that Sh5 was consuming ALL resources my old card could give, and Heating up quickly when in Sub view, Exterior View, ect,,,, ( Map View was much less resource hungry, and would let temps drop. ).

If I had anything for you.... it'd be try some different Drivers for your card, as sometimes newest AINT always best... and some drivers do better in some games than others.

Just my experience.......

[xxSWxxNinja]

Hey all this mod is a godsend for SH5, but im having some trouble running it and im thinking its probably the way I installed it thats causing the issues.

Unfortunatly I made the mistake of getting the Steam copy of the game.... Yea I know regretting it now, but I have been unable to get JSGME to work with my steam copy of the game. (If anyone knows how to fix this it would be great!)

Anyways so without steam ive resorted to manually installing the mod, ive gotten all the features to work fine now but I am noticing quite a bit of slow down in game, with poor frame rate. Standard game has no issues at all so im thinking something is causing a bottleneck somewhere.

Heres my current stats, had no issues running any game with it though it is due for an overhaul.

Cpu: AMD 64 X2+ 3.2 Ghz (overclocked)
Ram: 4Gb
Gpu: 2x8800Gtx SLi'd
OS: 64-bit Vista

Adjusting the graphics doesnt make any diffrence so im thinking the issue is one of a computational nature, something constantly updating maybe.

Any help would be grateful ill keep digging at this end see if I can correct the issue :)

[mobucks]

MO does a lot that will cause slowdown in the game, heck, sometimes just hitting shift-z to remove the HUD gives me an instant 10fps boost.

In the version released was included SteelViking's High res shadow mod. It's a real FPS killer on med to low end systems. In the patch provided was a way to reduce it to the low res version or to totally remove it.

[stoianm]

@TDW - in the MO i saw you use FX_Update_0_0_11_BARF_1_3_Full_Fix

This means that you use also the BARF mod even it is not writted in your MO mods list (or maybe the BARF it is already included in FX_Update_0_0_11_BARF_1_3_Full_Fix:hmmm:)?

Regarding long battery recharge times. Or at least i *think* i noticed this. I spent a day cruising submerged and surfaced at night to recharge. When i dived at dawn, i noticed the battery was at 77%. So i'm assuming battery recharge times are excessively long. Of course if battery recharge times was already looked at and is as intended, disregard this post.


Anyway, the problem with long recharge times stems from the battery multiplier. If you'll remember, in SH3 we had access to that. In SH4, its hardcoded. In SH5? I have no idea, but I'm assuming it is. Since you have more scripting options you might be able to hook into it some how. That would solve your problem. If not, your going to have to go to plan B.


Plan B, is making use of one of those uber skills. I forget what its called in SH5, but it either reduces the time it takes to recharge, OR, it reduces battery consumption. Either one is helpful.

For example, In the case of SH4, the skill was that it reduced battery consumption. So what i did (through trial and error )was set this skill:

[SpecialAbility 7]
ID=Ability-Propulsion-Specialist
NameDisplayable=Ability-Propulsion-Specialist-Name
Description=Ability-Propulsion-Specialist-Description
AbilityType=BatteryConsume
AbilityValue= -43
AbylityActsIn= All
....


To be attached to a crew member permanently,

[CrewMember 57]
ID= Crew-CO-Rank-1-Ability-Propulsion-Specialist
NameDisplayable= NULL
CrewMemberNameIDLinks= NormalUSNames,CommonUSNames
DateOfBirth= NULL
Head= NULL
Voice= NULL
Tatoo= NULL
Rank= ENS
CurrentExperience= 0
Qualifications= QualCommand7
SpecialAbilities= Ability-Propulsion-Specialist


Obviously what this did was make the battery really slow to drain. The next step was to reduce the size of the battery. In the sim file i specified an absurdly low submerged range. (on one sub i specified 22.5 NM @ 4 k)

Submerged range seems to influence how large your battery is. The larger the battery, the longer it takes to recharge. Shorten the battery, it recharges quicker. So what you do is take a really small battery, and apply the battery consumption uber skill to it. What you end up with is a battery that discharges at a desired rate, and recharges in a much shorter time. The discharge and recharge rate seems to be a ratio of the skill bonus, and submerged endurance, so you'll have to fiddle with both in timed tests tell you find the setting your happy with.

The downside to this workaround, is that if for whatever reason the player loses the crewmember with this skill, their submerged endurance is pretty much hosed, so you'll ahve to take steps to make sure that doesn't happen if neccessary.

Ok folks, some follow up on my saga.

I have purchased and properly installed and tested, with other games, a brand new video card, an ASUS GeForce GTX 460 Fermi DirectCU TOP 700MHZ 768MB GDDR5 Dual DVI Mini-HDMI PCI-E DX11, with outstanding results.

It replaces my old GeForce 9600 gt and still, i cannot get the navigational map to work out of Lorient without a ctd. I played historical missions on my old card without any problems. I even restarted a new career to test my old card and ran the Kiev canal, no problems.

It looks like as if, only in campain mode, out of the Lorient harbor do i seem to get this problem.

I am totally happy with my purchase, what an improvement overall but, so despaired over that particular problem.

I guess my only option is to restart a new career and hope i never get transfered to Lorient. :wah:

Hi folks,
i installed the MO-mod with patch 2 and the german conversion today and i got a weird bug:
I started the historical mission in narvik. starting on the bridge all looked good so far but when i decided to go inside the sub there is sea water inside of it, with waves and all. If i still go down the ladder the game will eventuelly freeze.
The stock version (1.2) works fine so far.
Does anyone know a solution?

cheers

Is there a fix for the Typ-VIIA and Typ-VIIB buoyancy issue's?:06:

Using the Typ-VIIB, I set my depth to 95 meters and the boat just slips away and will continue down past Crush Depth.:o

Same thing happens using the Typ-VIIA but not as bad.:o

Or, should I just start Career using Typ-VIIC?:06:

I have a problem i hoped any of you guys have a solution to. When I'm at the base and want to request missions order i can see "total Germany" at the top left, and the small arrow under it, but when clicking i cant see the the available missions. Sometimes, if I click many times, the east cost of Britain missions appear, and i can choose that one. I have the STEAM version and have not pirated the game. Any ides?

3- start a new campaign
4- choose skip tutorial

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:

Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 9.00.30729.01

Hi guys,

Okay I've been away from sh5 for about 3 months now, waiting for the Magnum Opus mega-mod to be released, so i wont have to have a nightmare with mixing and matching different mods all clashing against each other...so thanks appreciate your time and effort going into this mod to make all our lives a bit easier..:D Okay so I have uninstalled ALL of the mods i had installed before, so the game is back to its original "stock".

So all I have to do is just use the "magnum opus" mod and the patch 2 that came with it, and install my preffered scope mod and thats it yeah? no other mods should really be needed because this includes the best ones right?

Only problem is how do I deactivate the steelvikings interior mod? I really dont want to, but that mod just kills my frame rate that i have to go from the highest graphic setting to the lowest graphic settings in order to be able to even move...haha can someone please tell me how to remove that mod?

Thanks, :DL

I played a game yesterday, and suddenly the fog became very dense (medium fog according to the nav). I was almost touching the ennemy ship, and not able to see it. (can't remember how far exactly though)
First I was at periscope depth, I surfaced to check if it would be better, but no, it wasn't.
Moreover, I intercepted radio messages saying that the ship actually spotted me quite a few times, while I (or my crew) couldn't. They even spotted my periscope when I was at depth !
Now, if the fog being that dense, even at medium, is intended, I can deal with it, but it seems to me that the IA should have the same trouble spotting me.

Another thing, the crew seems to spot ships way further than my eyes could see. I don't know if it's intended or not, maybe they are super humans :p

I am currently playing with the mega mod, ship depth fix, the test version of the UI, and more realistic sonarman, from sober, I believe.

Maybe everything is normal, but I thought I should report in case it is not :)

Thank you for the great mod anyways, it greatly improves the game.

Thank you, I will try sobers mod for the fog. Since apparently MO is using the Shadow Improvement mod, I thought it had something to do with it.

For the radio message, yes I know I can set up those messages, I've read that in the post, and changed it a bit already. But I like receiving them, as you said it adds to the game :)
If it doesn't affect the IA, then forget what I said :)

I'm wondering however, does this means that those messages are random ? If I go to the indicated location, I will not find the spotted ship, right ?

they are for real:up: - when you receive an message like ,,uboat spoted and it is in red'' you can dive and you will see on the hydro the ennemy ship

if you are refering at the situation when bdu gives you the location for an spoted ship or convoy near your area depends for how long time it passed after you received the message

Ok, thank you for the fast answers :) Those messages can be useful to locate targets then :)

WOW! I got caught on the surface by 2 destoyers i dove and headed to some deep water. After a while more and more destroyers came and now i,m being hunten by 14 + destoryers! Nomatter how deep i went what manouvers i made i coudnt shake them. My co2 bar was almost full so i desperatly went to the surface and dove again. But still i got chased and now its almost the british desroyer fleet! no matter what i do i cannot shake them , used the decoy cheet no luck they have chazed me for 360 + kilomters and the battery is dead! Bit of an overkill in 1939 if you ask me .
I wanted good AI but this is way over the top. I,m being chased for almost 4 days! I mean if i was near the coast ok but i,m in the atlantic near the keltick ocean.

[kalijav]

LOl I noticed some great improvement on AI indeed :p I think that when you attack a ship, they call in for reinforcement. I attacked 3 ships, and 3 times I had planes coming after a short while. A lot for a coincidences :D

[TheDarkWraith]

You can change the AI difficulty by editing \data\Scripts\AI\init.aix.

Best thing to do is plan your attack! The AI is not dumb anymore and they will kill you. The 'run and gun' style will get you killed. For those who fail to plan a good attack you will suffer in the form of death. Using TC is a sure way to die now :yep:

This may have been covered already, but I can't find any answer.
A small group of the sub simmers I am with have installed this mega mod and the patch. We also installed the Dark Interior Mod.
We can't seem to get this to run in multiplay. We can connect fine with 1.2 straight up, no mods.
We have made sure that we all are modded the same using JSGME.
The mods installed work fine in campaign and single player.
Installed mods are:
Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1
Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1_Patch_2
Dark_Interior_V1
Dark_Interior_additional_Sounds

We would love to run Multiplay with the mods active. The game will crash as we enter the sub control room. States the server has stopped.
Best regards, and thanks for all your work on the mods.

Quick question regarding the 32bit OS CTD Fix, if someone doesn't mind answering.

Has anyone tried it on WinXP?

The CTD issue is the only thing that's keeping me from playing SH5. With the proper mods installed, SH5 started to win me over but the constant CTD's really rained on my parade.

I know, I could try the fix out on XP myself but... I'm scared Sarge!

it will work on XP. TheBeast has done it and had no problems (well it ceased his CTDs for the most part). I think you have to use bcdedit for XP.

[Didd]

If bcdedit works for you on XP, fine. For me, however bcdedit doesn't exist on my version of XP and I had to set this up in the boot.ini file as shown below:


Below is how you want to make your boot.ini file look.

Add a few lines to your boot file, so that it gives you options when Windows first starts up. In other words, you would select the 3GB line at start up, if you plan to play 3GB switch that session.

Or, you would select one of the other options if you aren't planning to play 3GB that session. You should copy the below into boot.ini . The way I have it set up below it will give you 6 seconds to decide, before the WIndows login screen appears.

Here is what you want. Please copy-and-paste this into boot.ini
below the dots
.
.
.





[boot loader]
timeout=6
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional SP2" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional w/3GB" /fastdetect /3GB /Userva=2560







When you plan to play 3GB switch, restart the machine and during those 6 seconds, you need to select the 3rd option above, the one which says "Windows XP Professional w/3GB "

See if that helps.


Also afterwards, I still had some random CTD issues, and although I'm not 100% certain yet, adding the envgold environment mod after magnum opus seems to have cured it, but I need to do more testing to be sure. So maybe environment mod 5.0 is still causing some ctd's on some systems.

Incidentally, I changed the userva=2560 to 3072, but this didn't have any effect on the CTDs.

[Mash]

Great mod but I am having two issues.

1. I cannot move the message log. I changed it to draggable but it will not move. I am using SH4 UI. Half of the log is behind the gagues.

2. The icons for the last icon that is further to the right which has a sailor graphic nex to the movie projector are all missing. Not sure if this is a know bug or if I am doing something wrong.

I have tried to run the game in both admin and regular mode but still have both issues.

Any ideas??

[Church SUBSIM]

How can i remove the antenna in my VIIB sticking out when i,m at periscope depth?
Also my VIIB rides to low in the water. Its been a while since i had calm weather and when the ocean was calm
i noticed that the Boat rides way to low in the water. The sadle tanks are completly submerged . Does anyone else have this? There was a trick to overcome this which required to comebine the sh-3 to sh-5 sub fysics fysics mod with UHS mod But i,m not sure if this would work with the MO mega mod and the sh-3 to sh-5 sub physics mod isnt downloadable anymore I didnt have this problem with my VIIA though its when i got a VIIB that i noticed the sub to be wat to deep in the water.

[Poacher886]

I have some issues after some heavy depth charging and eventually my death!.

Ater a reasonablly sucessful second patrol around the SW approach , i was down to a few torps left. I decided to head for home via the English Channel and maybe spend the last off my torps on the way should an oppotunity arrive.

Sailing on the surface i suddenly heard a slow moving buzzing sound and looked round to see what must be a Swordfish aircraft which was going so slow it was practically hovering!, either way i grabbed the flak gun and promply ended it.

On checking the map i realised i was out of aircraft range, thus concluded (a bit obvious anyway, it being a swordfish!) there must be an aircraft carrier nearby. I continued on the surface through that rare weather condition known as pea soup, after about an hour, I heard a strange sound up top, upon looking, out of the fog came the aircraft carrier and five escorts firing at me....quickly i dived to the max depth of 130m which i always find with a bang, and the ASDIC and depth charges started...

This was all good, but after about half an hour i heard an unusal explotion above me!, wishing to understand the various sound for future campaigns i decided to comit a mortal sin and went external with the camera.

There to my supprise was the carrier carving a destroyer in half quite literly, and just to add salt to injury behind him and through the slowly sinking but still split destroyer rode the rest, nudging him ever further under!!!

This would have been mildly amusing if not for the fact that after about an hour i heard a similar explotion above and realised the same thing was happening again! I realised if i can last long enough, the carrier will destroy all the destroyers and i can pop up and knock out the un-escorted carrier!!

This seems to be a big problem, i would have expected the carrier to have been long gone on sight of a U-boat and not buzzing around as if to be depth charging and ultimately creating my most lethal weapon!

The next issue i have is the damage caused by depth charging. It seems your Diesel engines are somewhat even more prone than your hull to damage. Unfortunately, after hours of depth charging i was eventually pinned to the bottom with both my diesel engines destroyed.

On the off chance the destroys gave up on me, i would have been able to do nothing there after, surfaced or not!, I doubt in reality the diesels would be so prone, or indeed un-repairable to any extent, not to mention after 12hrs a rather naff way to end your career if your able to survive the attack, but left just bobbing in the water.

I would like to suggest a solution to the diesel issue....if only one diesel could be completely destroyed and the other brought down to a minimum of 1%, then you could be given complete imobility for a long time and a serious penalty having the one engine only thereafter, but at least you would always eventually be able to move if you survived the attack simulating your engineers ability to at least reap some power from you motors..using the destroyed one for spares, this would seem a better option to me.

Thanks

P.S any news on rough ETA on the latest version of MO...i was considering waiting for it before starting a new career.

[Gandalfi2005]

I have observed similiar things ....

Battleship with escort spotted me.
Battleship has made the same depth charge pattern then the destroyer but didnt sunk them :O:

With the damage system i recognized an issue ....

Got some damage on the E-Machines surfaced. After depth charging only the damaged parts received hit points wherever the depthcharges are placed. (Infront etc.)

Dunno if Damage system was touched by MO

Would have to agree.........
Been around a few diesels, and worked with them at Sea as well....
Would probably be the LAST thing Damaged with DC's... and if they were, human life on the boat would probably be non-existant at that point anyways ! :D
Sure you may bend a Wheel, or shaft... but I am confident the Crew could repair that in a pinch if need be. ( And of course on the surface. )

Now down time due to shoddy or improper maintenance, normal Wear and Tear....... I could undestand as that happens.
But you would be surprized how creative crew become when a Motor goes down !
I've helped fashion water seperators made from rolls of toilet paper, cleaned fuel injectors with filed down coat hangers, Cut O-Rings from Rubber Boots.... Ya do what ya have to !

Only thing i hope is that it fixes the plates on the conning tower floor next to the flak because it has wood like on the Later war type VII,s that apperantly came with the skin for the VIIC in MO . I rather have the stock metal plates with wholes in them. Also trimmed by boat properly with Goblin editor because like my VIIB was laying to low in the water.

[oscar19681]

Ok i checked. The the paintjob is back thanks to the skin mod i downloaded. However the conning deckplating next to the Flak dun was something that could not be fixed with the skin. Can someone tell me how to get the stock deck plating back ? One thing i also liked about the VIIB in this mod is that the deck itself was coloured so it really looked like Wood. This is also something i cannot fix. Any hints?

If bcdedit works for you on XP, fine. For me, however bcdedit doesn't exist on my version of XP and I had to set this up in the boot.ini file as shown below:



Also afterwards, I still had some random CTD issues, and although I'm not 100% certain yet, adding the envgold environment mod after magnum opus seems to have cured it, but I need to do more testing to be sure. So maybe environment mod 5.0 is still causing some ctd's on some systems.

Incidentally, I changed the userva=2560 to 3072, but this didn't have any effect on the CTDs.


Just in case anybody else is having similar problems to me, I'd like to update this post

I have been having problems with random CTDs and random black screen lock-ups where hitting the reset button to reboot was the only way out. All of this was happening after installing MO (coincidentally as it turns out). To cut a long story of several frustating weeks short, I finally removed all mods and was still having problems. I re-installed SH5 after wiping the system of any residual traces of SH5, the launcher and old savegames - no improvement. :damn:

Finally I realised that I had enabled the above switch (with a line in the boot.ini as shown above) shortly after MO to re-instate missing harbour walls etc. I thought I'd try running without the switch for what it's worth. Surprisingly all was now stable. Enabled MO again - still stable. :yep:

I have subsequently re-enabled the 3GB switch by duplicating all the previous switches and simply adding the 3GB switch at the end. The relevant part of my boot.ini now looks like this:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional w/3GB" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /usepmtimer /3GB /Userva=2560

I don't claim to understand what I'm doing, but it has fixed the problem....so far!

Now to start adding a few more mods.......



Edit: Wrong!!!! Had 3 random CTDs last night - will try running without 3GB switch enabled. I'm about to delete this turd off my system.

@TDW

I MOD'd the Equipment and Upgrades last year adding several upgrades not available for use in stock SH5.



My main objective was the missing Anti-Sensor Coatings and Radars. I ended up stopping work on the MOD.

Blocked when trying to get the Snorkle working as upgrade option.
Couldn't figure out how to have new SKINS for each Anti-Sensor coating.
I do think the Snorkle can be a upgrade replacement option for the Deck Gun.
As for adding new skins for each Anti-Sensor coating, I am still lost here.

I was wondering if you would like to add these upgrades to the Mega-MOD?

-=[EDIT]=-
You already have the Antenna and Periscope Height MOD's so you only need the UPC files. The EQP files in the submarine folders are not required as I was never able to get Snorkle working.

[DedEye]

Probably related to IRAI: I was doing my first mission in Happy Times when I came across a convoy....it was guarded by a flotilla of DDs in TF formation :o They weren't very friendly either :haha:

This might be by design (intelligent random AI)? Not sure, but thought I'd let you know about my experience as requested.

I haven't had any CTDs or anything like that. My experience overall is very positive. I'm glad you can adjust the difficulty!!! At first I did not realize I was playing on impossible and found that, well, it was impossible!! :rotfl2:

I find the CO2 goes up too fast (just me? :06:). I've tried securing from general quarters to see if it slows it down but I can only seem to stay down for 8-10 hours. Or should I ignore the warnings after 10%?

If I may suggest changes to the campaign objectives. They seem out of place given the fantastic changes made elsewhere.

[TheDarkWraith]

that sounds like the infamous stock CO2 bug carried over from previous versions of SH. Save and reload should cure the problem. IRAI and MO do not change the rate of CO2 production in the subs.

[masterchilum]

i make some test for CO2 bug, and for the moment, never get that bug if you order dive or crash dive from command room (only when order from conning tower for me).

2 complete patrols without the bug, taking care about from where do you order dive .

I always use keyboard for orders, game dont syncro mouse orders and keyboard orders well. i have some "subbugs" using mini-nav interface with mouse.

I hope can help you

excellent mod, TDW, waiting for the next release!! (maybe more cool sounds????)
:P

[stoianm]

i have somethimes the CO2 bug and i do like TDW said... save and reload the save... it is working all the time:yep:

[Silent Steel]

Is there something wrong in this mod? Because i have a horrible frame rate. When i start a mission, all is smooth and about 40 frames (in harbor), then after about ten minutes of gaming, frame rate drops to 7!! and stays there...

Thanks again! Without modders.. ::shivers::.. i dont wanna think about it


::edit:: I read the patch has to be installed. But it has the same name has the magnum opus mod 0.1. So i am a little confused. How do i install the patch?

::edit:: Shewww wow there is so much new things i dont even know how to order my men around! This is great! its entirely new! It will take me a while to figure it out but wow! amazing! thxs again!!

You can do 2 things:

1.- Rename Patch 2 folder, use JSGME and enable after Magnum Opus 0.0.1. It will advice you some files are going to be replaced. No problem.

2.- Copy all the files of patch 2 in MO 0.0.1 and overwrite it. Then enable Mod with JSGME.

If you need more help we can talk in spanish via PM.

Gracias marley!

I actually just did the first option, renamed the files. Works fine. Now i have to find a way to skip the missions and play the ones i want. Man i cannot wait for a modder to just return SH5 to the old format of the dynamic campaign (like sh3 sh4).

You can select any campaign typing "silentotto" in the Campaign Selection Window.

You have to know you will start without renown and all the stuff old (hydro, etc)

Hallo!
I'm also a returnee to SH5. I've just installed the mega mod, but I don't understand how to install the patch or where to put the various components of it.

Also :DL I'm trying to use the Harbour Pilot to get me out of Kiel but I'm always hitting some other ship. Is there a way to set the game up so I can just let them get me to the open sea... It's frustrating to be almost there and then KAPOW! I've now been at it all night and I'm still only half way through.

Thanks in advance!

@Trevally - I've been looking at my code and trying to implement a way for the harbor pilot to pickup and take over from anywhere. So far not successful but I don't give up easily. If I can implement this it will solve many problems including the above as user will be able to deviate and turn off harbor pilot and then resume whenever they want.

There is a patch to fix the pilot for MO - see here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1574809&postcount=181)

Tip: set your speed at 5-7 knots, goto map and set TC to 64. You will get through the canal in 10 mins :up:

Wow..extra quick! I wish there was a conference or irc style thingy. It would be great to have someone explain all this! (i'm thick)

When I meet a ship, I take a note of my heading and steer around the ship. I then reset the heading I noted and 90% of the time I hit the 100m radius required to pick up the next waypoint.

To be able to pick up pilot if waypoint missed- how about some sort of check command. Could this be - as each nav command line is achieved and waypoint reached, the script gets bearing to next waypoint. There would then need to be some sort of trigger to set that bearing:hmmm:

Running just MO I noticed seems like the Attack Periscope raises like 4m higher then it should I'll be at 16M depth in rough seas and I can see well with it. Also I noticed you run 2M higher then ordered at all speeds or stopped. If you order 18M you get 16M depth. If this has been brought up please excuse the redundancy. :)

I have activated MO+patch.
I do not know if it's my incorrect setting but I have not "ship spotted" advice.

In the first case I was at 1x time compression (always surface), I go to the turret and I see a Merchant at less of 400 mt, no one warned me.

In the second case I was at high time compression, I pass at 1x, go to the turret and.......I was in the middle of a convoy :06::06:

Won't be updating the list on post #1 with the current mods as I've found too many people trying to copy the work. Now I'll only list the contributing authors.

Are you planning on including all the readme files of the different mods added to MO or are people left in the dark on this? Because if the latter is true, it - IMHO - makes MO almost useless at some point. What if you stop modding/updating MO? Then people can't apply newer versions of mods included in MO, because they just don't know which one's where added. You benefit from other modder's work, but they won't benefit from your work - you know what I mean?

I really would prefer the other scenario.

As I'm a software engineer myself, I really understand your concerns about copyright infringement but IMHO this does not apply to 1.) modding (still it's an arguable point - f.e. I fully agree on not giving away source code on how your modifications work) and 2.) giving away the information on which mods you included to your mega-mod version X (especially after version X has been released).

[Graf]

SOLVED!!!!

Sorry guys but having a few problems with this mod that I have yet to see anyone else having.

My system:
Phenom X6 1055t @ 2.87ghz
4GB RAM
ATI 5770 1mb
Windows Vista 32bit
Graphic settings maxed.

I can run every other mod or the stock game on full high settings with no problems. No glitches or fps drops whatsoever.

I install MO with JSGME and I cannot get the game to run perfectly. Issues:

1. When trying to go down the hatch from the conning tower my screen freezes. I can still move my mouse and select the HUD or even press ESC and leave the game. Screen tho is frozen looking into the interior.

2. As I'm leaving the bunker my water textures disappears. Its as if I and all the other ships in port are floating through air and can see the bottom.

3. After trying the 32bit fix posted by TDW I lost my harbor. Changed it and the harbor came back but still had problems 1 and 2.

I've tried the 32bit fix and the Anti-Lag solutions with no change.

Anyone with any thoughts?

So yeah I confirmed calm seas at depth 20 meters and my periscope raises to about 20.5M is it looks quite silly too. hehe anyway I can fix this does this happen to anyone else. I've narrowed the problem to MO

Ok. So far I've solved the gfx problem by changing my AAMode from Multi-Sampling to Adaptive Multi-Sampling. :)

Now I just had a CTD while in map and deleting radio messages. Everything was smooth until it froze for a second then back to desktop.

Anyway to disable all the submarine sighting messages?

This just happened to me too but I thought it was because I didn't sink the minimum requird tonnage for the mission. So I re-armed, refueled and went out again.

Will the game prevent you from ending patrol if tonnage requirements are not met? Seems sort of restrictive and unrealistic to me.

No the first mission you have until June 6 1940 I think to sink the tonnage required which can mean multiple patrols the problem was they switched my home port in the middle of my patrol and didn't notice lol. It's probably what happened to you too. Look on the map for the home port symbol.

edit the sub's .eqp file and change the start date for the flags and flagpole to the end date.

Thanks DW.

BTW--could you tell me off-hand, which of the save game files to look at in order to extract time and exact position of my uboat? I'm trying to incorporate using Stellarium for taking celestial fixes--from a method used in SHIII, or IV, can't remember which.

:DL - you have MO or you installed after IRAI v30? ... they can detect even you are not mooving if it is an HK on the DDs

If you have MO than the dificulty settings are setted at max probaly and is almost imposible to escape 2 DDs

[johan_d]

I have both, and just barely escaped 3 dd's in 1940. Its maddness. What will bring us further in the war? more death!

I think its best to halve all settings for gameplay..:rock:and I like to have lots of Das Boot moments..

yes .. me too, is awsome... what speed you used to escape.. i use usually 0.8 knots... but i think if you run sillent running is the same... i never tryied ... but i will change my settings (map contact on) and i will verify if the con of the DDs increase more at silent running than at 0.8 knots... or maybe someone tested already and can share the information?

As I was reading through many of the forums I notice many underwater screen captures where the water was crystal clear.

This prompted me to examine what I could do to enhance a little realism.

Screen Capture usiing MOD "[COLOR=lightblue]AilImpurity 1.2 none"
This would greately reduce underwater visabilty.
The screen capture above was taken Mid Atlantic at 12:07 PM

most of the screenshoots probably were mine but this was because i wanted to make like this the underwater... the underwater from MO is immersive and they are more things that affect the underwater visibility also (not only the filter from color) like from example the fogdistances.cfg and the impurity.dds also for example.... so the underwater visibility is an combination from manny parameters, dds and files

EDIT: the underwater visibility is affected also by parameters from scenes.dat and by some .cfg files from ENV folder

regards

[TheBeast]

This MOD also changes night time underwater visible range.
If surface visible range at night is long range then underwater range reflects the surface visible range. So weather also effects underwater visible range.

Last week, I reinstalled SH5 with german speeches and english text. This morning, I tried out the MO supermod (fully patched), and found out that there is sometimes a mixture between english and german voices. (Weather report and messages). Is this normal, and if not, what can be done to this problem.

This is because MO contains a mod called :-

Speech fixes and additions (English version)

If you want to get the German speech back, all you need to do is install this mod :-

I have noticed that the GUI is very "modern", is there a possibility to change it into SH3 style with only analogic dials and no digital?
I mean rudder, depth and speed gauges and command?

I believe it is the TC. Been playing for the past 45 minutes to recreate the message but no luck. Kept TC at or below 512.

The message I get in the logbook simply says ERROR REPLACING CONTACTS. Thats it and I CTD. Nothing afterwards.

I get a similar error "ERROR REPLACING CONTACTS" from time to time. But have no ill effects, No CTD. I just carry on as normal.

I never go above TC 128 though. (Dont trust my crew to avoid other ships during high TC, had many collisions in early SH5)

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping someone can help me to solve my problem. When I'm hitting a ship with a torpedoe, my game seems to freeze just before or right when a fireball appears. I have to Alt-Tab and force-quit the game.

This doesnt happen in the stock game, only when I have MO installed (I just have that mod enabled). I've looked in this thread, it's pretty long and I've seen that Akula4745, post #730, seem to had the same problem a while back. Can anyone pinpoint me to a solution?

Here's what I've done so far :

- Installed and patched SH5 to v1.2
- Started the game, made the tutorial
- Played a bit the game, didn't even sunk one ship
- Decided I wanted some mods
- Installed some mods with JSGME, reloaded a save game that I made in port before accepting the first mission, after the tutorial.
- Save the game, quit and reloaded.
- Played a bit but not much (can't remember if I sunk ships)
- Decided to give MO a try
- Uninstalled and deleted mods
- Followed and installed the same mods from Stoianm's MO tutorial
- Installed 3 or 4 others mods, not big ones but one was Old style explosions.
- Reloaded my special savegame in port (the one after the tutorial and before accepting the first mission)
- Saved, quit and reloaded the game and accepted the mission.

Ok, still with me? So I wanted to see how those old style explosion looked like, I was impatient, and I made an act of treason (yeah I'm really bad I know). I decided to sunk a german ship in the port! And well, the game punished me by freezing. Ok, I desserved it I guess!

Figured out that the Old style Explosion mods might be my problem, I uninstalled it, reloaded my special save game, and after been in the mission did the same thing again.... with the same result.

I've then decided to remove all the mods excepted MO. Reloaded my special savegame, started the mission, fired a torpedoe a the same german ship and again, the game freezed on me.

So I'm a bit lost. I've tried to look for a solution in this thread, but like I said it's pretty long and I havent found anything.

Anyone experienced this and have a solution?

restart a new campaign and forget about the saved game that you have untill now... skip the tutorial and play the new patrol.. se if you will have the problems again... i know that church subsim have the same problem like you but i dunno if untill now he found a solution.. his game freeze after he hit a ship... if your problem persit post your mod soup and your computer spec pls - btw i was in Sorel-Tracy few times... you have a cegep there... i worked for prosys-tec at that time and i did service at the informatic lab few times... i like the city

Oh sorry, I actually did that in the last steps of my previous description.

When I installed all the mods except MO, I started a new campaign, skipped the tutorial, saved the game (new one, no overwriting). Quit the game, reloaded that new savegame and started a new mission patrol, and the game freezed when the torpedoe hit the ship.

I didn't included mod soup and computer specs in the first place, thinking that it was an easy solution to this bug. I'll look into that.


Ah cool, Sorel is a nice small town indeed. Very active during WW2 since it had a well placed shipyard!

Well, I've tried something more radical this time.

- I've uninstalled SH5, deleted the game folder and all entries in the registery.
- Updated Win7 to the latest (SP1)
- Uninstalled ATI display drivers, deleted ATI's folder, rebooted, dowloaded and reintalled latest drivers (with stock settings).
- Reinstalled SH5, patched it
- Played SH5 Tutorial, saved a game in port. Took a mission.
- Tried and succeeded to torpedoe a ship in the harbourg.
- Quit the game. Merged Magnum Opus patch 2 with first v0_0_1 and enabled it in JSGME (only mod installed, nothing else)
- Tried a New Campaign, skipped tutorial. Saved the game.
- Quit the game, then load the game. I took the mission.
- Tried and succeeded to torpedoe a ship in the harbourg but the game frooze again.

I was hoping that a completed game reinstallation would do the trick, but it wasn't the case. There's definitively something within the Magnum Opus mod that is conflicting with something else in my system.

I'm giving up for now. It's late enough and I'll admit that I'm starting to loose patience. For me and for the moment, the game's name is more like Silent Hunter 5 : battle to make it work right! :yep:

Wow - that is the exact same issue I have with MO or the NewUI's, but I can't tell why. I have been able to run both mods without issues since TDW released 6.3.7 and then one day ... lockup when I sink a ship.

I even reinstalled windows 7 (x64) again ... fresh install, bought a new version of the game (disk this time instead of DL).

I've uninstalled MO for now. I've tried everything with it but something in it does not agree with my system. I tried MO alone and still I have trouble leaving port with GFX hangups and CTDs. Everything imaginable goes wrong with MO on my system tho I love playing it when I can.

As of now I've disabled MO and currently playing a stable game with individual mods. I wish I could play MO but sadly it looks as tho I will not be able to. :(

[Silent Steel]

These issues with FPS drops/ freezing and CTD's sound pretty familiar to me.
Anyway I had problems like these some time ago and at last I managed to hunt the bad guy down - a corrupt DirectX install... :o
I'm not sure if that's the solution for your problems but could maybe be worth trying.


If FPS drops are giving you a hard time you maybe you should give the "d3d antilag101" a try. Download it here:

Interesting. I did some additional tests this morning :

- Uninstalled Magnum Opus
- Installed NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith (only this mod is activated)
- Started the game, started a new campaign, skipped tutorial
- Saved the game, quited the game, started and loaded the savegame
- Took the mission and went for a german support ship in the harbourg.
- Fired a torpedo.... and yes, the game frooze again when the torpedoe impacted.

I've also tried with the SH3 UI, just in case, but the same thing happened.

I'm having the same problem as yours, it appears. Since the game frooze with only the NewUI installed, nothing else, and knowing that this interface is integrated within Magnum Opus, I'm confident that we have at least narrowed down from what mod our problem is coming from.

We just have to find out what modification is precisely causing the problem, and more importantly, why it's conflicting with our system/game.

unninstall the first one and try again the game... if is not working i have no other ideeas... seems like you said incompatibility between tdw uis and your compueters or sistem like in the church situation

EDIT: i just found the thread... the 'Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable 9.0.30729.4974 runtime' was the one who made CTDs... but i see you do not have this one... i have no other ideea... sorry

[Trevally.]

This is the version that causes the issues
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable 9.0.30729.4974

Wow - that is the exact same issue I have with MO or the NewUI's, but I can't tell why. I have been able to run both mods without issues since TDW released 6.3.7 and then one day ... lockup when I sink a ship.

I even reinstalled windows 7 (x64) again ... fresh install, bought a new version of the game (disk this time instead of DL).

Sink a ship .. win a boobie prize. ;(

I've uninstalled MO for now. I've tried everything with it but something in it does not agree with my system. I tried MO alone and still I have trouble leaving port with GFX hangups and CTDs. Everything imaginable goes wrong with MO on my system tho I love playing it when I can.

As of now I've disabled MO and currently playing a stable game with individual mods. I wish I could play MO but sadly it looks as tho I will not be able to. :(

GOOD NEWS! (kind of) Church SUBSIM & Graf!

I've been able to sink a ship with either (no other mods)
- Magnum Opus+patch2
and/or
- NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith

Like I suspected, since Church said that he had the same problem with only the NewUIs, I figured out that this mod must be the one that was causing us thoses freeze when a torpedoe impact a ship, since the NewUIs are within Magnum Opus too.

So with trials and errors, I've removed some files from the NewUIs mod, one at the time, and finally nailed the one that cause the crash! The file is named "Page captain log.py".

If you want to test this out, to see if my temporary "solution" is not just specific to my computer, follow those instructions :

- Deactivate all mods in JSGME
- From within JSGME, right click on Magnum Opus and/or NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith and delete them
- Unpack a brand new Magnum Opus, patch it to v0.0.2
- Unpack a brand new NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith
- In BOTH of those mods folders (if you plan to install both), find the files "Page captain log.py" that are located in Data/Scripts/Menu and delete them
- Install and activate Magnum Opus. Do the same with NewUIs_TDC_6_4_0_ByTheDarkWraith
- Start SH5, start a new campaign, skip the tutorial
- When in port, save the game, then quit it.
- Start SH5, load the savegame, select your mission
- Then find a ship and sink it, hopefully without a game freeze!

Now, I know this is a temporary workaround, because "Page captain log.py" must be important and do something.

But at least I've pinned point the potential source of the problem. Then again, this file, or something in our own computer, must interfere with it, and that, is out of my knowledge and I just don't know what to do from here.

Maybe TheDarkWraith have an hypothesis ob this, since he created the mod!

[Church SUBSIM]

If this in fact works ... you will be my personal SH5 god, right next to TDW.
Will try it later tonight when I have the time.

Thanks!

I take it you want us to delete that?

[Scrapy]

i get a crash when sinking a ship also.. it does not happen all the time, but it happens ALOT.

about to remove all mods and give it a go even though i hate the idea of no mods.

@Agima
I tried your method and renamed Page captain log.py to Page captain log.py.DISABLE, after loading a game there was a window pop-up, title said (OK), there where 2 boxes left and right both had the text (OK), and 3 confirm boxes at the bottom, i think they where ( DECLINE - CANCEL - ACCEPT )

clicking either of these buttons did nothing, and could not remove the box... too annoying to attempt to play like that so i have no idea if changing that file would of fixed it.

*EDIT*
i need to read properly next time :P, sorry i have been awake a little over 24 hours currently.

this time i did what you said, and *DELETED* the files from the mods folders before installing (silly me did not stop to think the game had this file to begin with).

now that box i was talking about is gone.... AND, i was just able to sink 8 ships in a row, and no crash YAY, altho i did freeze for a second or two here and there.

so far so good... will keep ya posted

[Agima]

I take it you want us to delete that?

Yes! Delete them!

Open the suspected Page captain log.py file with notepad and post the first few lines of it please. Give me about the first 20 lines from the file.

sorry for another post, was not sure if i should of just updated my previous post... but i have found out the cause of the freezing each time i kill a ship, it always happens when the ships fire off the red flare into the air... freeze for 2-3 seconds, ship fires flare and all is fine.

still no crash after removing that file though :yeah:

[TheDarkWraith]

You need to re-enable the file and enable debugging by editing your \Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg file and uncomment out the entries for debugging. Also run the DbgView app included in \data\Applications so that it can catch anything SH5 spews out so we can find out the real reason why you and some others are having problems.

Ok, here's what I've done :

- I've edited my main.cfg file, uncomment those three lines, Modding=Yes MenuEditor=Yes DebugScripts=Yes and saved the file.
- Deleted via JSGME all the previous mods
- Unpackted fresh Magnum Opus and NewUIs.
- Installed and activated them.
- Started SH5, created a new campaign, skipped the tutorial, saved the game, quit the game.
- Started DbgView (stock settings)
- Started SH5, loaded the save game. Selected the mission. Went to sink a ship. Explosion, then the game frooze.

Is there a debug file somewhere from SH5? Anyway, here's the last lines from Debugview :

how about a dump from DbgView when the game crashes/freezes on you? :yep:

[StarTrekMike]

This might be a no brain problem on my part but I just installed MO and the patch (following instructions in the thread) and I seem to be missing all fire and explosion effects along with the wake effects.

Everything else seems to be running fine, I just cannot explain this problem.


anyone else had this happen and if so, is there a fix?

Enable the new version of FX_Update over MO. You can also enable the new versions of IRAI and my UIs mod over MO (highly suggested!) :up:

[StarTrekMike]

already beat ya to it on adding your new UI version, it is truly amazing work!

would I have to start a new campaign to make all those work (not a big deal as I just started a new one and look forward to tougher hunting).

about a million and a half tons by 1941 seemed like a bit much when I was just using your standard UI.

Thank you so much again.

Did you try my sh5.exe patching program or try to patch your SH5.exe file? Is your sh5.exe a disc version or a download version (NOT steam!)? If it's not a disc version or downloaded version (from Ubisoft) I would not apply my sh5.exe patches to it. I think this is why you're getting your CTDs.

It is not any of my mods causing the problem from viewing the DbgView output.

[Scrapy]

not seen any exe patcher...

anyway, yeah my version is steam... at first i thought that might of been the problem, so i went and.... got a *non-steam* copy to test if it had same crashing issue, it is 1.2 and fully working etc, and it crashed just the same... although since i did pay for the game id rather use steam if i can haha

anyway.. if i have to, i guess i could copy over the exe... will kinda stuff up my achievements though :damn: *guess it doesn't really matter*

*EDIT*
well actually it does matter now that i have thought about it, wouldn't be able to play online... blah!

*EDIT AGAIN
really sorry if i shouldn't be talking about this stuff guys..
but did some checking, and found there is no protection or need for the disc at all to play the game, as long as you have a valid key registered on your ubi account.

so i uninstalled steam, and then installed sh5 off of the disc, ran the updater and got it to 1.2, started the game and it logged into my ubi account right away.. game is working fine.

so you can now forget about my previous comments, i am no longer running the steam version.


guess i can try this exe patch now..... will see if i can find it somewhere

thank you very much stoianm :salute:

i used the patcher and enabled every single function i could, i must say being able to pick new colors is really sweet.

ok, currently i am super tired so didn't get to try it out much, but this is what i have noticed so far.

FAR less radio messages going on, not sure if this was intended in the patch or not.. maybe i am just lucky, but only important ones have shown up for me so far, no more friendly ships sighting me as if i was an enemy, and time compression is not getting interrupted like it used too.

only sunk a couple ships this run, however i did not notice any lag when the ships exploded. overall seems to be running smoother, even mouse movements.. although its still too early to know for sure.

*EDIT*

crashes are back.. and i was just lucky before with radio messages, got flooded with some before when i went through a friendly convoy.

Hi all, I have finally got a stable internet connection and would like to get back into SH5 also trying out magnum opus for the first time. So far it seems good but I have a few queries.

1. Where is the SOAN? is there a key to make it appear? Playing at 1600x900 and can't find it anywhere (I'm sure it used to have a tab on the left that you could just pull onto the screen)

2. Get a lot of radio messages from friendly ships sighting me, can I disable these somehow?

3. I installed the german language pack after magnum opus hoping to be rid of the english speech but as it is still getting 'weather report on its way' and a few others popping up. Bearable but I would like to solve this.

Otherwise fantastic work, Thanks very much to all involved. really does shorten my mods list. Can't wait for the update!!!

In the right side of screen is a button were is writted togle chart visibility... push this one and the SOAN will be on the left side

2. Get a lot of radio messages from friendly ships sighting me, can I disable these somehow?
Yes... you have a button on the radio message pad

3. I installed the german language pack after magnum opus hoping to be rid of the english speech but as it is still getting 'weather report on its way' and a few others popping up. Bearable but I would like to solve this.
i think you must install Speech fixes and additions (german version)
Also i recommand you to try the stormfly sound mod colletion mod

Hi Stoianm, thankyou for the reply, question 2 is solved!

The SOAN is still not visible, wether or not the charts visibility is enabled. I only get the 2 conversion tables and the flag descriptions.

are the German fixes and additions, where are these?

Your tutorials look very helpful but a bit long for me when I only want advice on a specific few things. I will check out Stormflys sounds though here at the download section I assume?

if you install stormys sound you do not need german fixes and add... just read careful the first post from there

if you have more quest about the MO interface... all your answers are in that tutorial

The SOAN is still not visible, wether or not the charts visibility is enabled. I only get the 2 conversion tables and the flag descriptions.

You need to delete the \Silent Hunter 5\Pagelayout_Draggables.TDW file to reset it's draggable position

Hallo,
have installed MO has suggested and everything is running bat not the attack disk. In fact in manual mode, clickin on the center and changing colour, is only the internal disk turning and nothing else. Even the time side doesn't work. Is there a button or something else that I have to do?
Many thanks in advence.

So im hopeing someone can tell me what the heck is causing this....This was entering the game where im in port....only thing i did was enter port, choose a new mission, left port headed out to see and when i got to the end of the bay area it CTD for what ever reason...I clicked on the map symbol while i was on bridge when it CTD...

then i went back into the game and picked the auto-save that it created when it ctd and this is what i get now...I have had the white colored problem before on my obs scope...thats all i see is a while blob
