Congratulations on your work, really great job.

But one thing is bothering me: When surfaced under calm seas, the submarine decks remain barelly above surface. Almost only the conning tower is raised above it. It doesn't look right to me. Is there any way I can "mod the mod" so the submarine's surface depth is the same as the unmodded game?

By the way, I tried to get a snapshot, but I can't find where it is, or should have been saved. I'm just an occasional player.

Thank you.

The mod does not make your u-boat sit low in the water. Unless you order 'decks awash'.

You must have a conflicting mod installed.

You could try adjusting your sub's .cfg file. You find it in:

C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Submarine\

There you find folders for all available subs so you have to set the .cfg file (SurfaceDepth=... ) in the folder for the sub type you're using.

I believe this is an effect of "Uboat Historical SPecifications mod." I think it's been incorporated into MO. We'd have to see a screenshot to be certain. UHS does make the sub ride lower in the water but what you're talking about seems a little too low.

[stoianm]

Deck awash can be ordered by using the voice recognition mod and spelling the order ,,set new dept x metters''

[MiTon]

Deck awash can be ordered by using the voice recognition mod and spelling the order ,,set new dept x metters''

Or just use "decks awash" in Speech Recognition! This will set your depth to 8 meters. :DL

Problem with that is you switch to electric motors at 8M.

Silent Steel, Cassiano its an easy fix if you know what to do. Pm me and ill tell you how to fix it. Or maybe ill should make a post on how to fix it later today.

[MiTon]

Problem with that is you switch to electric motors at 8M.

Do you know the exact depth the electric motors are switched on?
I then could change "decks awash" depth to 6.9 meters for example.

Thx

for my mod soup I think 8M. order 7 meters keeps the diesels running.

Thx!

Will do a few test and change the "decks awash" depth for the next release!

[The General]

From my testing, the ideal depth to have the decks awash and have the diesel's running is 6.5M. Unfortunately, you cannot order that depth in the game to my knowledge. You can order 6M and all the crew leave the bridge, the hatch remains open, but the boat still sits too high in the water. Ordering 7M would be ok, if we could stop the boat switching to electrics autiomatically.

[d3vnu11]

The perfect depth to have the decks awash and have the deisel's running is 6.5M. Unfortunately, you cannot order that depth in the game to my knowledge. You can order 6M and all the crew leave the bridge, but the boat still sits too high in the water. Ordering 7M means the tower still protrudes from the water (only just), the hatch remains open, but the boat switches to electrics. It seems to me 6.5M would be the magic number.
With my mod soup 7meters is still not shallow enough. Most of the decks are clear. in calms seas they are dry.

[MiTon]

If you are using my Speech Recogntion version you should be able to order depths from 0.0 m to 350.9 in steps of 0.1.
I don't know how precise the orders will be executed but give it a try.

If you found a value you like,
open data\Sound\SpeechSHSpeech_Commands.xml (watch for the encoding, has to be UTF8)
and change this:


<order><!-- decks awash -->
<phrase>decks awash</phrase>
<commandText param1="8">Set_depth</commandText>
</order>
to


<order><!-- decks awash -->
<phrase>decks awash</phrase>
<commandText param1="6.5">Set_depth</commandText>
</order>
Save and restart Speech Recognition.


In the next version, I'll add a variable into Speech Recognition, so "decks awash depth" can be set via an ingame GUI.
Different mod soups won't be a problem any more.

The camera buttons on the top, for moving to next unit and previous unit does not work for me. On click on the "Next Unit" button will show my sub from the side which works, but when i press the button again the camera moves to an very ackward position showing no unit and is stuck somewhere between the heaven and ground. Any solutions?

[nembo]

Sorry if I write again, but cannot turn the dials, just the internal, of the attack disk. Have I to re install the mod or otherwise?
Thanks.

on the right top corner of screen you have an little buton (under the electronic clock on the left corner) .. click there and you will expand some options... there you will find an buton where if you click you will have displayed ,,lock target''

if you have time you can watch an tutorial where you see how you can play or how you can customise the MO interface:

Hi All

I have just installed the game and have been told this mod is the one i need to have installed to make the game as it should be. I am not a pc expert but would like some help on installing the mod.

Don´t have to, you can install it while in bunker for the first time. Only if you´re on patrol you should go back to bunker.

Of course, as Pascal pointed out, stoianm´s tutorials sums up everything, they are the visual Subpedia.

[bigduke666]

thank u for the help and the video was just what i needed. One question, how do i know if the mod has been installed and is working?
for instance for the game stalker, the mega mods had a totally new interface from start up. i started up sh5 and see no difference from the opening screen etc - no mention that i have the mod installed at all. i have not started a mission yet?

Yes... when you play the tutorial (poland mission)... it is like you do not have mods installed... after that you will eaasy observe if you have mods or not

[bigduke666]

I guess the mod installed ok as the voices have a german accent now - however after starting the poland mission, i get woken up, told to go to the captian. the inside of the sub is fine graphics wise, i climb the ladder up to the observation part, and its just black!!! there is no graphics at all?

[bigduke666]

I also tried a single mission and got the same thing, inside of sub ok, outside just black. i deactivated mo in jsgme and had the same problem as well

same problem here:

~S~ Gentlemen,
I'm not really sure if this is the right place to post this message, but here goes. Your help in any way will be much appreciated.

I've just purchased the retail version of SH5, and after reading some of the bad reports about the game I get the feeling that I've been had. After waiting with anticipation for the installation to complete, I started a new campaign. The guy wakes me up and tells me that the captain wants to see me up on the bridge.

I walk to the ladder in the control room and look up. I can see the night sky through the hatch. I go up both ladders and through the hatch and then everything goes completely black. The Captain speaks but I cannot see him. In fact, I can't see anything at all outside of the boat, including all of the other stations and the external camera. If that's not bad enough, I cannot get off the bridge because I cannot find the hatch again.

Also, I cannot see anything through either of the periscopes, that is if I'm lucky enough to find my way back inside the boat.

As with all games that I play, I have my graphics completely maxed out. My computer should easily run SH5 as it is way over the system requirements for this game. It can easily handle SH3, IL2 1946, FS9 and FSX with maxed out graphics.

I posted this message on the UbiSoft SH5 forums and only one guy replied. He implied that I needed to install DirectX 9c. I had my doubts about that because I'm running Windoze 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. It appears that my version of DirectX is as recent as it gets. Willing to try anything to make the game work properly, I took his advice and installed DirectX 9c. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. I'm still stuck on the bridge in complete darkness and unable to find the hatch.

Have I purchased an expensive drink coaster to put my cans of beer on? I hope not because it will cost a small fortune to buy the entire matching set for parties. :cry:

System Specs;
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07 GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R

Hard Disk:
1 Terrabyte Seagate 7,200 rpm SATA2 + 150 GB Western Digital Raptor 10,000 rpm SATA2


Solutions:

1) Put shadows slider half way

2) Read here also: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177485

3) I would suspect the ATI crossfire as the problem (driver problem) (TDW)

4) Solution :

''Thank you DarkWraith,

It was the other way around for me. I was using nvidea many years ago until I had some annoying issues with their older cards. So, I switched to ATI because a large percentage of lads from my IL2 squadron were at the time using ATI without any issues at all.

Your reply prompted me to try something which I neglected to do initially. I opened the ATI software and disabled the Crossfire, so now for this game only I'm using only one video card. I'm pleased to report that I now have exterior views. Issue solved. Thanks again old chap!

All I have to do now is learn how to drive the boat. :timeout:

Regards''

[bigduke666]

thanks stoianm.
thats just the problem i am having - the ati drivers i have are 11.3. All my other games work fine, i guess i will have to wait and see if future ati updates fix the problem.
thanks again

[pascal4541]

I play with the 11.3...No worries :hmmm:
You have properly installed ATI Catalyst Application 11.3 Cap1? The latter is an option to download
I do not remember having had problems when I had my crossfire 4890...But there was no gain in performance ...
Early preview 11.4: http://www.infos-du-net.com/telecharger/AMD-Radeon-Video-Card-Drivers,0301-35302-28444.html

[stoianm]

The solution that he found was this:

''I opened the ATI software and disabled the Crossfire, so now for this game only I'm using only one video card.''

[bigduke666]

hi Stoianm

I had downloaded the 11.3 cap. I also now have disabled the 2nd card and still the same problem - must be a driver issue.

[stoianm]

hi Stoianm

I had downloaded the 11.3 cap. I also now have disabled the 2nd card and still the same problem - must be a driver issue.
:hmmm:... Try another driver version (tdw and zedi told me that the best video graphic driver is not the last one in all situations... is the one that is whql certified... the one that is installing when you install first time the OS)... try to lower video graphics setings in game... i think when sober will be online maybe he can help you also... he use ant ati vga card
also try to:

1) ''In my case I just turn ATI "A.I." off and the problem went away''
2) ''Itt might be sound driver becouse after reinnstalling sound driver itt worked bether now!''
3) ''I fixed the problem by turning off two of the cpu cores via the task manager. The game doesn't seem to support any more than four cores''
4) ''I i rolled my ati drivers to version 10.8 and the game runs fine.
i was using 10.11 when i tried the SH5 on my new SSD drive and the screen was blacked out in the outside view. so i would say the ATI drivers set 10.0 & 10.11 are cuase the problem I have not tried the newest set 10.12 yet.''

As you can see can be a combination of factors that cause this problem... try to eliminate all of them

I think, there is a problem with sub maneuverability. It's like an aeroplane :), also if speed is about 2kts. It dives and surfaces too fast, I think...:wah: Changing depth from 200m to periscope depth is very fast.
In GWX 3 sub was much more heavy.

Has anyone tried "JD Realistic Depth Charge Damage and Shaking 1.0" MOD?
I have tried it and it really changes things. A lot of Pitch, Roll, Yaw action from DC's. Not to mention being bounced around inside the boat on close DC's. I was standing in Control Room at bottom of ladder to Conning Tower and a DC bounced me and I was in the Conning Tower(good thing hatch was opened). Flak Guns damaged, Periscopes damaged, Breaking Pipe, some flooding, Broken Glass and sparks but no preasure hull damage.

If character animations updated to fall off seats, Crew cringe and Sounds, Crew gasp, Crew Panic , etc. added would be greate addition.

[TheBeast]

To little, to late - - - -

The designation "skunk works", or "skunkworks" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunkworks_project), is widely used in business, engineering, and technical fields to describe a group within an organization given a high degree of autonomy and unhampered by bureaucracy, tasked with working on advanced or secret projects


Although the above quote is true. Skunk was also used by the British Navy when talking about U-Boat's because they smelled so bad. So, it could have two meanings and why I suggested it.

Then there is also the acronym TSW, it could also mean "This Stuff Works" in contrast to what you get "Out of Box" when you buy it.

On the funny side:
Maybe another name could be "Silent Hunrer 5 - Secret U-boat Project" and seeing how Secret Projects are some times given the designation of "X", then the acronym could be used in the name "Silent Hunter 5 - S.U.X."
Just joking...:har:

I've put everything in the right place, copied the patch, and activated it.

After starting the game though, the initial loading screen finishes fine, then instead of the main menu. I just get a black screen with the first second or so of music looping.

did you played the game without mods?... what is your computer spec?... did you saw the video tutorial how to install mods in SH% and how to install and configure MO?

Yeah, I'm about a month or so into the first campaign.

And yes seen the videos explaining how to install and configure the mod.

Looks like that was a different problem, they were getting black screens when playing the game.

I can't even get to the main menu. Seems to be locking up where it would usually do the save game sync nonsense, but I wouldn't have thought these mods would change anything related to the syncing.

Nah, none of that seems to do anything.

But the UI improvement just locks it up.

[EDIT] May have found the solution. Thought it might be the sync thing causing issues so once it locked up decided to just leave it for awhile. Took about 15-20mins but eventually got to the menu. Really hope it was a one off delay.

Hi guys, I am a computer neophyte and I am having some problems. I just installed SHV.exe patches to fix bugs and add function (I am using real navigation). It seems to be working but when I ask navigator for a fix it doesn't show up on either map. When I installed the Mod TDW said you need to install each version (v0.0.1, v0.0.2, v0.0.3) I made patch 1 & 2, any thoughts why my ship doesn't show up?

Second question (this is really dumb) In same Mod, wanting to change the color of the different lines (compass and ruler etc), I am confussed. TDW say's to change the 4 bytes. What 4 is he talking about? When I tried to change (for example) FF222222 to GG222222 the computer wouldn't let me. Could someone give an example as to what to change the code to. I hope this is the right place to ask for help.:damn:

It takes somewhere between 30 mins and 1 hour for the mark to appear. This is to simulate the time it would take the navigator to measure the stars/sun position in the sky to pinpoint your location.

If you want an immediate map mark added, use dead reconing.

TDW has released a downloadable patcher that will patch your .exe for you. meaning that you no longer have to use a hex editor. look towards the bottom of his .exe mod page.

Some interesting things for those guys who have game-freeze occasions after inabling MO:
1. I"ve installed MO with few other mods in propper accordance with STOIANM's tutorials
2. After starting new campaing saved the game in port and qiut to Win.
After loading the game I tried to fire at the nearest ship in the harbour with 3 torps. Game-crash occurs only after critical hit (when the ship considered to be destroyed).
3. I fully deinstall the game (including all maps and directories, files in "My documents also, JSGME), cleaned off the register with "CD-cleaner" prog.
4. After reapiting installation procedure (incl. MO) I deleted "captainslog" file as it was mentioned above.
5. After that I successfully sent to botom the nerest ship in my harbour, but CTD occured when I tried to push the captainslog-icon (in the right corner of the interface).
6. Then repeat all the installation ops I just replaced the captlog-file after installing MO with the the same from the vanilla version of the game (before inabling MO via JSGME). The result was as in p.5 (crash and reset)
7. I restarted the savegame, went off the harbour and sank 1 british and 1 neytral merchants.
AND THERE WAS NO ANY GAME FREEZE, even after pushing the captlog icon (right corner up to "crew management icon"). All new tonnage (incl. neutral) was addit to my account.

SO I figureout that destroing FRIENDLY vessels is simply NOT CONSIDERED in the game by authors and mod-makers.
You just can see that in the captlog window interface there are no any separate divisions such as "allie ships destroyed tonnage" and "enemy ship destroyed tonnage". When you, f.e., have 20000 tonns of brits., and then terminate the 6000 tonn german (friendly) vessel, what should be the total account? 26000? - no way.
So when the AI faces this problem while making operations on calculating new account immideatly after new vessel destroyed in order to make changes in your Captlog, system failour occurs.

So everything is OK with the Magnum Opus. I dont think that replacing "captainslog"-file with the same vanilla-game file plays the key role in the process of avoiding crashes.

All outcomes above are just my own opinion, and there is a great space for further experiments remaining.

Sorry for the long post, hoping it should help AGIMA and others to fix the problem with CTD lol

Hi jwilliams, I used both navigations methods and my ship location doesn't appear on the maps. I did install the TDW patch at the bottom and thats when I have the problem with my sub not showing up. When I remove the patch my sub shows up on the maps.

Okay,

So I have patched and installed MO per the tutorial that was posted and carefully added mods in the order that was posted but I still get what appears to be random CTD's almost all of the time.

My system specs are
AMD X2 64 @2.4 Ghz
1 gig of ram (adding more soon)
ATI Radeon HD 4300 series (512 ram)


Now I know my specs will run the game as I have been running it without MO for awhile now with no problems, aside from almost 10 minute waits from starting the game to having a save loaded and running (old hard drives I think) it runs fine with a decent framerate to boot.

I have played with just the TDW UI mod and some others and it seemed to be fine, almost no CTD's and a decent load time and framerate. but the moment I add the MO mod it seems to just not want to run for more than 30 minutes without CTDing and forcing me to spend a very long time to get back into the game for another 30 minutes or so.

I believe this is the proper order to install these mods but any ideas about problems would be great.

I don't mean to sound angry but I am very frustrated with the game at this point, I can run Sh4 without any problem at all with the TMO mod, same goes with Sh3 and GWX gold but I can't seem to use the MO mod with Sh5 despite the fact that I love the mod and what it does to the game.

Uninstalling the C++ redistributable did not seem to help

antilag was a godsend for my framerate but did not help the CTD's



I just don't know what else to try...I am getting really sick of starting new games after losing the ability to use one save that I had been working on for awhile and got pretty far in.

if MO just cannot work on my rig than I will need to move on to other mods so I guess my next step would be finding the right mods to make the game as realistic as MO and just as pretty but in individual mod form so I can determine where the CTD's are occuring in the list and eliminate the mod so it won't cause problems.

I am at wits end...the CTD's are just getting so hard to deal with.


anyone got any advise for a desperate Skipper?


Mike

*Edit*

I am running Xp pro SP3 32 bit and seem to get the CTD's when I approach convoys (sometimes) and other times it occurs randomly with no real warning or reason.

I have even had one while I was heading out of port in St Naziere (sp?)

[Budds]

Sure wish I had an Answer for ya..........
( Bet YOU do Too,,,lol ! )

I get the occasional Lock up, with eithr silence or sometimes repeating sounds .... like a record skipping. ( Have to restart comuter to get out.)
But I get it maybe once every 20-30 hours of play time, and it seems to be COMPLETELY random.

I dont use MO.... never tried it.....
But I do use " New UIs_TDC_6_3_7_ByTheDarkWraith", in Combo with a heap of other mods. ( I know there are more current versions, but I have promised myself to FINISH this campaign I'm in, as I have restarted for new mods so many times,,,, I just Wanna Play ! )

Point being.....
You can use JUST the UIs Mod and have a VERY fulfilling Experience.... at least I do !
MO was to cut down on Mod Soups.... but hell you end up adding mods to it as well anyways.

I was an Avid Sh4 player... and it still holds up against Sh5 rather well even today.... I still have it loaded.
Fact is.... If new ships/models cannot be achieved, ( Which I believe they will tho. ), I will be going back to Sh4.

If I were you......
If you cannot get your issue resolved by help from the board here, Load the New UIs and then One by One start adding the "Extra" mods of your choice and you may discover the individual modification that is giving you grief.

Also might wanna check out some other Great Works like :

Seriously, get more RAM. IMO your PC hasn't got the power to run SH5. Crashes after a certain amount of time or when you encounter ships (so they have to be loaded into your RAM) for me indicate that your machine seems to be running out of gas (= RAM).

Hi jwilliams, I used both navigations methods and my ship location doesn't appear on the maps. I did install the TDW patch at the bottom and thats when I have the problem with my sub not showing up. When I remove the patch my sub shows up on the maps.

I still don't know how to change the code to change the color of the compass, protractor etc. lines. Any other thoughts?

How long did you wait for your navigator to place a mark on your map.... as I said before it take quite a long time (to simulate realism).

Also....
You do not need to change any code....

Use the patcher. You just pick an option and then a window will appear and you just select a colour. then the patcher will patch your .exe with the new values

Maybe list your mod list..... So I can see if mods are overwriting the real nav mod.

:salute:

[jwilliams]

Seriously, get more RAM..

^^^ this

I agree

1gb is the min that SH5 can run at on windows XP. 2gb if its vista.

So as your ram only just meets the min spec (if you using xp) or may not even meet the min spec if your using vista or 7, I'd say this is why you get alot of crashes.

Unmodded SH5 = 1gb min (XP) / 2gb min (vista or 7)

Once you add mods you will need more ram.

Unenable the real navigation with the mod enabler .

In order for real navigation to work correctly the menu.txt file will need to be copied and edited.
Step 1: disable the add-on mod NewUIs_TDC_x_x_x_Real_Navigation (if it was enabled)
Step 2: copy the menu.txt file from NewUIs_TDC_x_x_x_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Menu and place in NewUIs_TDC_x_x_x_Real_Navigation\data\Menu
Step 3: open the NewUIs_TDC_x_x_x_Real_Navigation\data\Menu\menu.tx t file with Notepad
Step 4: comment out the following lines: 820, 821, 822, 823, 824, and 2273. By commenting out I mean place a leading ; at the beginning of the line. When done the numbers listed will look like this (english version):
...
;820=Unknown
;821=Warship
;822=Merchant
;823=Submarine
;824=Aircraft
...
;2273=Your submarine
...
This will prevent tooltips being displayed for the items and thus giving away your position and their position. This is real navigation now.

Well I do intend on getting more RAM next payday (got bills to pay this week) but I don't know if it is just that.

As I said before, the game runs fine when I don't have MO installed and I don't think that MO adds any new merchants or surface warships with higher resolution textures than the stock game.

I imagine that the interior mod does not help things to much but it seemed to run find awhile ago...just seems to not want to work at all now.


I guess I will try to go at it with single mods until I get more ram in the machine...see how that works.

I was doing so well in that game...

MO adds a shadow mod (SteelViking: Shadow Improvement Mod (High res version)), that really stresses computers. I believe there is a reduced shadow mod to help with this. :yep:

Edited to add link :-

Here is the shadow mod link, here you will also find the reduced version.... Install after MO.

In add. to my post #1324 re.CTD fail.

Yesterday I"ve tried to sink the friendly vessel while playing the "naked" vanilla game-version (without any mods installed). After the ship went to bottom I tried to activate "capt.book" - icon, and recieved the CTD fail.
MO capt.log file differs from the stock one, so we get game crash immedeately after critical torp./deckgun hit when MO and NewUI mods are enabled. If capt.log file have been deleted before starting the game, we should be able to sink a dozen of friendly ships in the harbour untill we decide to activate "capt.book" - icon. After that - CTD crash.

So everything is written in post #1324 is confirmed experimentally:DL

Maybe you should try a mod you can find in the MO Patch 2:
Magnum_Opus_Patch_2\Shadows\Remove Steelvikings shadow mod\

// :03:

[StarTrekMike]

already tried that mod, it does make the game run better but it did not improve the CTD situation.

I am another megamod as a sort of test...I know how the stock game runs so I have a control to go off from. My hope is that I can narrow down what mod is doing this.

So far I have had a CTD with the other megamod but I need to see it happen more after more playtime to be sure.

Could be a corrupt download? :hmmm:

[StarTrekMike]

I think it might have something to do with running TC during certain conditions.

If memory serves, every CTD occured when I was in TC approaching a distant contact or some other time when I was in high TC (1024 and above).

I have been running below (1024) for a patrol and so far so good, if it continues to work I will reload MO and try it (right now I am using the UI-boat mega mod)

More info and such will follow as I get it.

Thank you all so much for your help, you always know how to keep me at a problem till it is solved.

Are you running D3D Anti Lag?

[StarTrekMike]

yes

[Sepp von Ch.]

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:

Hi all. I just recently installed the mod and love it, but I am encountering a huge problem. I am Red-Grey colour blind, which means I can see colour but I have trouble telling certain colours apart when they are placed over each other.

Well I am getting that badly when I try to compute a torpedo attack on the tactical map. It is INCREDIBLY hard for me to see the grey lines on the dark blue background:

http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/5136/cantsee.jpg

I simply cant see the marks in any clarity; the lines, the protractor results, anything on this map. It hurts my eyes trying to find the grey marks. Can anyone suggest a fix for me? Being able to change the lines to BLACK would be perfect, but I don't know if there is a file I can edit to do this or if I require the modders to change something. At the moment I cannot do manual TDC without severe eye strain.

Please Help!

Thank you, but I am not that good at using the Hex editor. If you could help me a bit more, I posted a question on your thread about the patch.

Hello,

I was trying to remove the "No Magic Skills" portion of the mod. Nothing I did prevented a CTD. Then I noticed that removing the Magnum Opus completely also caused CTDs, even if I do it while in port. It seems that, once installed, this mod cannot be removed unless restarting the whole carreer alltogether. Is there any alternative?

Thank you.

[milky]

How do i install the patch for this mod....i cant figure it out.

I fixed my previous problems thanks to TheDarkWraith (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=254741), however I am having a new problem. Frankly my computer can't handle the DHR interiors, I downloaded SteelVikings mod alone and found that out two days ago. I tried to remove all of SteelVikings files from the mod, but I am encountering the odd graphic bug and I am not sure if this is the result of my editing or just a game bug. Most notable is the fact some ships do not have textures at long range, but I think that may be my fault with my editing.

I have on suggestion for the mod, I think it would benifit the mod if Church's keyboard setup was added into the Mod. It gives you keyboard commands to request visual contact and sound contacts rather than having to deal with the menu. Problem is at the moment some keys overlap with the mod (C for example is church's key for crash diving but it brings up that bloody navigation wheel). Church's keyboard adds a lot to the game IMO.

[sirbum69]

there is another mod out there called advanced shift keys...maybe that will give you more of what you want. It doesnt show when you hit F1 but like for calling out nearest contact i hit the [ key.

Also TDW UI allows you to set your keys how you want in the user.py file

You are missing a scope mod and because of that you have not acurate readings... install the manos scope from the TDW UIs ... choose the one for your monitor resolution... manos scope is the best one if you want to use RAOFB wheel and to have accurate results:up:

Thx for quick answer.:). I see you left out a bunch of my mods .that mean I don t need them? ( I got the list from another seasoned sailor and I understood the megamod might contain older version of some single mods.Nevertheless I try to keep the list as tiny as possible):03:.
I must have real nav in the end yeah?the manos scope in the bottom of the list too?meaning :

NewUIs_TDC_6_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith
then manos scope
then real nav

Just a guess. I wish I knew what I was doing so I could figure out order myself. I try to use common sense but unfortunatly I don t have tons of it.. But I m happy nevertheless:D. I did manage to patch the mod properly I think though. and if a mod doesn t contain a "data"file then I dig deaper into it :).

The new version of my UIs mod (v6.5.0) includes manos scopes as default. You just need to install the correct version of it to match your monitor's aspect ratio (screen res width / screen res height). You can find those in \NewUIs_TDC_6_5_0_Scopes (do not enable - read). There you will also find other scopes you can use.

[Husksubsky]

Thx DKW:salute:. I ll use Manos. but still realnav at the end of the list? Or doesn t it matter. I try to use common sense again and can t see how a scope mod would mess up with the nav mod

[TheDarkWraith]

Thx DKW:salute:. I ll use Manos. but still realnav at the end of the list? Or doesn t it matter. I try to use common sense again and can t see how a scope mod would mess up with the nav mod

Real nav has to be installed after the core UIs mod and after any add-on mods included with the UIs mod (to be safe). That, to me, is the only stipulation. To be really safe install it as the last mod in your mod list to ensure nothing is overwritten/problems :up:

yes... i taked them out after i checked what files DW puted in his new UIs v6.5

[wokelly]

EDIT: Just reinstalled the mod and tried it without deleting ANY files, I still get this same problem. Is this a general bug? 93 pages are too much to read through so I don't know if anyone has mentioned this problem.

I have a texture issue and I am not sure what is going on. All the ships at certain ranges lose their color textures and just become grey hulks. Now I have removed certain files from this mod, but they were all related to SteelVikings interiors which is too much for my PC to handle with everything else. I only deleted those files directly related to his SteelViking's mod, no others which should not affect ship textures as his mod had nothing to do with those. Yet I get this:

http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3997/cantseed.jpg

Anyone have any suggestions, its quite annoying really.

[TheDarkWraith]

Looks like LOD change is you ask me :hmmm:

[jwilliams]

Looks like LOD change is you ask me :hmmm:

I have a similar issue. Some ships (Not all) lose all colour and become black at far distances. Stock game issue, I think.

[wokelly]

EDIT: Can someone explain hydrophones to me in this mod? I found a previous post:

Hello,

1st the hydrophone being only of use at greater depths is right, the boats dived to appx. 30-35 meters if they wanted to find contacts. Above that depth the surface noise of the waves would mostly screw up listening.

So this is correct, in SH5.

Is that why my hydrophone operator is deaf half the time, its a realism thing and periscope depth is not deep enough to work them? Will they work at 30-35 meters, because right now I can have a destroyer 500 meters from me and the hydrophone operator wont hear the sucker. Its really annoying and I have been assuming its a bug or something.

[Homebrewer]

I just installed TDW UI 6.5, started a new campaign. I want to playi realistic but with the external camera. The problem is when I start the game it goes to 100% and won't let me use the camera. How do I fix this:damn:

You should just be able to change it in the options menu (ESC ---> options) when in port.

[Homebrewer]

what I found is that if you start in a lower level you can a just up but you can't adjust down. Strange, I don't understand, but that's the way it works. So I started a :hmmm:campaign at a lower level, then change to a higher level and it worked.

Since you activate the 'NewUIs_TDC_6_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith' last and after the
'Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 (patch1+2)' this means the NewUIs... overwrites the Magnum_Opus... and thus there is no need to make any settings in the C:\SH-5\Mods\The Dark Wraith\Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1\data\Scripts\Menu\TheDar kWraithUserOptions? Or?

BTW - isn't it enought just to patch the MO with patch #2? :hmmm:

//

[stoianm]

Some interesting things for those guys who have game-freeze occasions after inabling MO:
1. I"ve installed MO with few other mods in propper accordance with STOIANM's tutorials
2. After starting new campaing saved the game in port and qiut to Win.
After loading the game I tried to fire at the nearest ship in the harbour with 3 torps. Game-crash occurs only after critical hit (when the ship considered to be destroyed).
3. I fully deinstall the game (including all maps and directories, files in "My documents also, JSGME), cleaned off the register with "CD-cleaner" prog.
4. After reapiting installation procedure (incl. MO) I deleted "captainslog" file as it was mentioned above.
5. After that I successfully sent to botom the nerest ship in my harbour, but CTD occured when I tried to push the captainslog-icon (in the right corner of the interface).
6. Then repeat all the installation ops I just replaced the captlog-file after installing MO with the the same from the vanilla version of the game (before inabling MO via JSGME). The result was as in p.5 (crash and reset)
7. I restarted the savegame, went off the harbour and sank 1 british and 1 neytral merchants.
AND THERE WAS NO ANY GAME FREEZE, even after pushing the captlog icon (right corner up to "crew management icon"). All new tonnage (incl. neutral) was addit to my account.

SO I figureout that destroing FRIENDLY vessels is simply NOT CONSIDERED in the game by authors and mod-makers.
You just can see that in the captlog window interface there are no any separate divisions such as "allie ships destroyed tonnage" and "enemy ship destroyed tonnage". When you, f.e., have 20000 tonns of brits., and then terminate the 6000 tonn german (friendly) vessel, what should be the total account? 26000? - no way.
So when the AI faces this problem while making operations on calculating new account immideatly after new vessel destroyed in order to make changes in your Captlog, system failour occurs.

So everything is OK with the Magnum Opus. I dont think that replacing "captainslog"-file with the same vanilla-game file plays the key role in the process of avoiding crashes.

All outcomes above are just my own opinion, and there is a great space for further experiments remaining.

Sorry for the long post, hoping it should help AGIMA and others to fix the problem with CTD lol
I never puted torpedos in an german ship... so i wanted to see if i will have CTDs... i puted a torp in a ship near me... a german ship... i did not had CTDs... but the ship was pulverized in the air... she was flying in the sky from water untill to land... and turned like a crazy cat:o... se here:... IF YOU LOOK AT 0:33 ON THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN YOU WILL SEE ALSO ANOTHER FLYING SHEP

I think my mod soup is very special... LOL

with the newer one and put manos scope just beneath NewUIs_TDC_6_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith
would that be ok?:salute:
edit: I allready see DKW mage an update for krauters scrips
Heres what DKW wrote in OM readme along with the list of mods(in the patch actually) that make me somewhat hesitant to put in standalone mods even if theyre newer than the OM ones:
"Editing and tweaking of the above mods was done by myself to make them compatible with each other. You may notice that the stand-alone version of a particular mod looks different than the one included in this compilation."
But you guys are modders yourself so I assume you know what youre doing :)

[jwilliams]

hmmmmm:hmmm: hmmmmmmmm

/snip

Yes it's very confusing ATM. With all the new mods/updates to mods.

It's a case of....

1. Read as much as you can from the mods makers mod page.
2. A general idea of how JSGME works (e.g the last mod installed will overwrite the file that conflicts).
3. And trial and error.

You can see my mods install order here ---> Link (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/album.php?u=251173)

I can say that my order is very stable. And everything seams to work as it should. :yep:

At the moment the modders are making alot of ground with SH5 and there has been, and will continue be many new mods. So until a Mega Mod is updated with all the latest mods, then mods installed and the order of install will continue to be confusing.

Good luck.

Just ask if you need help. Many people here will do their best to help.

Good Hunting.

Mo still use TDC _6_3_0 (without manos scope that seem to be crucial to me.) uhs in MO is still 1.4 while 1.7 (wich eliminates some fixes) is out as stand alone.you can read the contents of MO in MO readme.Just beware that putting in a standalone mod have no guarantee to work correct with the megamod even though listed as part of the megamod.(also from mo text)

Does it look ok?:hmmm:
I dropped out sub hyd fix and trevallys harbour stuff since it was inside MO
I included airtorpedos since it says it needs latest IRAI. (didn t mention version) and... it was included in both my suggestions.
:salute:
read in yellow pls

This is the soup I ended up with:
Anti lag
Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1(merged with latest patch)
DBSM_Music_1_0_4
Speech fixes and additions (german version) Not sure why stoianm wants you to delete this. Is needed if you want german voices in game as MO uses the english version of this mod

NewUIs_TDC_6_5_0_New_radio_messages_German
NewUIs_TDC_6_5_0_Das_Boot_Crew_Mod_by_Illyustrator move the 3 highlighted mods to below IRAI. New UI's 6.5.0 needs to go after IRAI now.
FX_Update_0_0_16_2_ByTheDarkWraith
IRAI_0_0_30_ByTheDarkWraith
AirTorpedoes
Krauters Automated Scripts (v5_0_0 compatible)
Kriegsmarine Grid Map for MO and TDW UIs by stoianm
TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbances_v2_0_SH5
Trevally Automated Scripts v0.5
Wasserbomben_SoundFix_Basic_1.1 Delete??? If you delete you wont have your sound guy call out depthcharges in the water. So IMO dont delete.
U-boat Historical Specifications 1.7 for TDW Mods move?? depends on who's sub settings you want to use. leave here if you want UHS settings or move if you want TDW settings for sub. I have mine after TDWUI's as you do.

Not sure why stoaimn wants you to delete some. Maybe if he gave a reason, I could see why. IMO keep them. See red and yellow above.

He is right about the new UI's though. version 6.4 was before other TDW mods. BUT 6.5 needs to go after.

you must to delete because all of them are in the stormys mod... so no reason for extra mods

i sugest to use dw .sim because he puted there the new things from the UHS... also a lot of new things... so this is my advice

i sugest to use also UHS because there are some files that modify the torpedo wake and power.... so because that i will use the UHS also

that make sens now?:)

He is not using Stormys mod. If he was then i would agree.

I never knew DW had the same uboat settings as UHS in the .sim file. I wanted to keep my uboat using realistic settings. Good to know. May have to rethink where I put UHS in my mod soup. Thanks.:DL

''v6.5.0 - added the ability to change the country names and category names used by SOAN. To change the values used edit the \data\Roster\Names.cfg file
- added a draggable tab to the left side of SOAN
- added updated version of Magnum's and Trevally's additional info files for SOAN
- changed depth at which the add-on mods dealing with no_hydrphone_on_surface allow hydrophone to start working as per Stoianm's recommendation
- added changes to Uboat_sensors.sim recommended by TheBeast for Anti-Sensor Coatings
- changed surfaced draught of subs according to recommendations by oscar19681
- added code to TDWMouse.dll to be able to handle left mouse button events
- changed navigator assist functions from polling to left mouse button click events
- changed timer for show crew abilities page when an officer is right clicked when selected (shows faster)
- added support for Speech Recognition. The speech recognition status (enabled/disabled) and current confidence level will be saved to \Silent Hunter 5\SpeechRecognition.TDW. This is a text file and can be opened with Notepad. This file is read at every game start. A UI was added for the Speech Recognition and can be viewed by clicking the microphone button in the top right bottom bar (only if skwasjer's speech recognition dll is found and \data\Scripts\Menu\Speech Recognition.py is found). Until MiTon releases v0.4 of his speech recognition mod you need to ensure his Speech Recognition mod is installed BEFORE this mod.
- changed how Attack Disc backside is controlled. It no longer uses keys but instead uses mousewheel for each part of the disc
- changed the u-boat .sim files to use many of the values found in UHS 1.7
- the user option InformSubSightedMessages default value has been changed from True to False''


I gived a link for him and sugested to install the stormy mod... because of that i adviced to delete these mods:up:

[Husksubsky]

This is what I call excellent service ..from both of you:). I ve had some issues , but I won t bother about them now since my order was wrong.
I changed my mind and mention them anyway... maybe theyre wellknown. If not I just try after change order . The first may seem stupid , but I got no SH 5 enchanted UI s in campaign. Only in historical missions.
Second is the good old order of data input to TDC.If I did anything else xpt send AOB to TDC then speed then range things got really messed up.
Must say I m really pleased with rangefinder now.Manos scope didn t look different to stock for me, but range work perfect so I assume it s in order. scope minimum zoom say say 1.5 X but readme said it would be 1 x so I was a bit puzzled.

Maybe I can help a bit here.
- You must have the German U-boat Crew Language Pack if you run DBSM. Enable before you enable DBSM. I recommend that you pick the new "Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 additional crew sounds beta6", not the beta4.
- Manos Sopes: After New UIs First install the ''Manos Scopes-Core Files'' and then enable Manos 16:9 after New UIs and let it overwrite.

About the realnav I think Stoianm can answer better.

Thanks,
I forgot that you don't need the core files with TDW's New UIs :oops:
It's a default, yes?

BTW it would be useful to have a list of all integrated mods that comes updated with every new version.
Just to avoid possible conflicts and for the convenience to make the mod soup list shorter in JSGME.

I agree. simple is better and they would come in later versions of Mo. just TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbances_v2_0_SH5 that is left out of Mo..maybe he has a reason for leaving it out?:hmmm: anyway I don t think that is an important mod

It isn´t in MO because TDW released it after v0.0.1 . And I beg to disagree, to me it´s a very important mod. ;)

Hmm, when it comes to the German U-Boat Crew Language Pack I'm not sure. But Stoianm told that in post 1409. A reliable source.
I have SH5 installed in german but I'll make a test today if it works without that pack.
When I had a question and sent Stormy my mod list I had the German U-Boat Crew Language Pack acttivated and he made no remark about it.

But I am sure you need:
"Mighty fine crew mod 1.21" and the TheDarkWraith's new UIs from 6.3.7 or later verions.

Stormy told me not to "install Hotfix 3, last mod should be beta 3... (beta3 includes all hotfixes)."

Still it shouldn't make any harm if you go ahead and give it a try. It is a must have. No question about it!!!!! :rock:

You can always save your mod list in JSGME. Do you know how to do it?
If not PM me and I'll help you out.

everything seem to work great..but:
all huds(SH5Enhanced) are gone when I start a campaign. some come after I shot the first ship, but not those in the upper right corner.Seem like theres a tutorial I have to go through, but if so I need to deactivate realnav since I can t click on my u boat.heard of this? ( I put a post in the NewUIs_TDC_6_5_0 mod thread).
All the Ui s are visible in historical missions!!!!
what do you see if you start a new campaign?

I love the sound:yep:. Some of the hotkeys seem messed up though.I still have log on "L" not clock as it says and 3-4 more seem messed.rest is ok.I should not need hotkeys with all menus up right? but the hole upper right stuff is missing atm.is it in DKW s user options I assign keys? Stormy s readme said something about it but I couldn t find where to do it.heres from Stormys mod first post:

"Dont forget to customize your "TheDarkWraith`s new UI`s options file" to assign your keyboard layout acordingly fitting to the allready existing key commands that come from Church`s Key command mod."

I must be slow. I don t really understand it :oops:. But I assume if I mess around with hotkeys I might end up with uncoordinated sound/action yeah?

Last but unsignificant is that the map is hopeless to read lat and lon on. Stoianms grid map would help maybe?

The dissappeared menus are my main peoblem anyways...oh btw..about the language pack I m quiet sure I understood correct from stormys mod thread (first post) and Stoianm is that you don t need the game installed with german voices (as you say), but if you don t have game installed with german voices then you need the language package. unless you want to move all the sound files and put them manually in JSGME.

I m so close to success..can t give up now. I don t know how many times I need to beg you guys to be patient.After all I installed the game first time of my life 14 days ago:salute:

[jwilliams]

The missing UI is because your doing the tutorial. As you get further through the tutorial, parts of the UI will become visible/useable. Hopefully this will be modded out of the game soon. Because its really confusing, the first time you do it. And just plain annoying if you have to do it a second, or more times.

I would advise to complete the tutorial before adding mods to the game. Because some mods (like Real nav) remove features that are needed to complete the tutorial.

Once you've completed the tutorial. You can then add all the mods and start a new campaign. You will have an option to skip the tutorial if you've already completed it.

Or you can edit the CareerHistory.cfg file (C:\Users\Username\Documents\SH5\data\cfg) to look like this...

Hi all!

I've joined SH5 community a few days ago (it was SH3 before that:)).
I didn't like vanilla version of SH5 (the same was with SH3 by the way) so I decided to install a couple of mods.
With the help of stoainm and other good guys from this forum I made my own mod-list with about 70 mods.
Unfortunately I'm having some graphical issues with my modded version.

The problem occurs only when I'm starting new career in bunker (see pictures below)

http://i.piccy.info/i5/86/16/1451686/SH5_Bunker_240.jpg (http://piccy.info/view3/1451686/f8adc13123b49495096ac12b5b8d22a9/)

http://i.piccy.info/i5/88/22/1452288/Bezymiannyi_240.jpg (http://piccy.info/view3/1452288/67c9fdc2889ad9d5d327908f3e05afe2/)

Sometimes these coloured lines are all over the screen so I can't see anything - have to start a new game. Sometimes these lines disappear, but instead I face with a heavy green/yellow fog.
But the most interesting thing is that these artifacts disappear right at the moment when I'm leaving the bunker. Looks like it's 'cos of my movement from lighted places to dark (bunker has lights and open space is dark 'cos of night).

First of all I thought it's 'cos of new video card driver (had an April version for ATI). Rolled back to March version - didn't help.
Then I switched graphical options in game to minimal - the same story.
Finally I decided to delete all mods and it helped. Vanilla version works fine. Tried to launch it about 7 times and there weren't any artifacts.

So after that I decided to instal my mods one by one to see which one causes the problem.
The first mod in my mod list (and in other people lists too) was Magnum Opus v0.0.1 with Patch 2 of course.
After I turned it on, the problem came back.:-?
Tried about 10 times - result is the same...artifacts.
What I want to mention is that when I had 70 mods in my list these artifacts occured from time to time. I could start new career and everything was fine. But another time I could face with the problem again.
But when I have only MO in my mod list - this artifacts became permanent.
Looks like 70 mods overwrote some of MO's files (and they actually did it) and it made this problem to be in less than 100% of launches. But as soon as I have only 1 mod - MO and it's files aren't overwritten by any mod - the problem happens in 100% of launches.

Here are my spec:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3,16GHz
Video: ATI Radeon HD4870 1Gb
RAM: 4GB
OS: Windows XP SP3 (32bit)

Smbd can help me to handle with this problem?

P.S. stoainm adviced to install The Remove Steelvikings shadow mod after the MO via JGSME. Didn't help!:cry:

[TheDarkWraith]

Have you tried enabling the 3GB switch (since you run XP 32 bit)? MO takes a HUGE amount of memory from all the new scripts added (and all the files it loads from those scripts).

Have you tried enabling the 3GB switch (since you run XP 32 bit)? MO takes a HUGE amount of memory from all the new scripts added (and all the files it loads from those scripts).
You mean to make the system see 4 GB instead of 3?
If so - no I didn't do this. Some utility needed?

Made a video of my problem - occurs only when I'm in the bunker:hmmm:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kVN3InEoTY

Added: stoainm also recommended me to enable switch and gave some links. Will write later if helps

[Husksubsky]

I must throw in a question about the RAM too. I have win7 64 bit with 6 gb ram. when I installed the game, it gave a notice in yellow that I had only 2 gb ram.I hope it s just a bug.:hmmm:

This tool gave me warnings about outdated video drivers.
Plus it displayed wrong verisonnumbers for them everytime I installed SH5 and the graphic drivers wheren't outdate a single time.

For this reason, don't belive this tool and would call it a bug!

But you should controll if all of your RAM is shown (control panel -> System and Security -> System, or better CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/) ) [/URL] and apply the [URL="http://ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php"]4GB patch (http://www.cpuid.com/)to your SH5.exe.

Thx .I have cpu-z (end others) and only place ive seen i ve git 2 gb is in sh5 install....BUT...I read a bit on the program linked and it seem from what I see there that x86 apps in x 64 systems only have to gb virtual memory (out of 4gb ..mine is 6 so maybe thers a 6 gb patch too?) it s getting somewhat technical and I ned to find a place to read more about it.I don t understand the hole picture:hmmm:

It only patches the exe to use more of your RAM, so it doesn't matter if you got 4, 6, 8, or more RAM.
Normaly a 32bit exe can only use 2GB, rest is reserved for the system.

4GB Patch was just a suggestion and not a musthave.

There is no need to patch the sh5.exe with the 4gb patch, the SH5.exe is already compiled by default to use >2gb address space

The patch does nothing else other than set this flag in the fileheader of an exe.

You dont need to patch SH5.exe with a 4gb patch. Yes the program is already large address aware.

But if you use a 32bit operating system. You will need to tell your operating system to use more than 2gb.

Weeks, maybe months. The modders are busy creating an improved campaign, with new ships, wildlife, mines etc.

There's not much point in updating the mega mod until the campaign is ready. As all the work would have to be redone. And you can't expect the modders to do something twice because your inpatient.

I would rather wait and have all these feature that they are working on. I'm sure you would too.

That sounds great, actually - was just curious!

[wokelly]

I have a question about preheating torpedoes in this mod, does it do anything? Unlike the stock version there is just the one preheat option, I am not sure if it has been modded or if it does anything anymore. Does preheating work as historical (increasing the T2 speed from 28 to 30 knots and range from 3km to 5km)? And also do I have to shoot the torpedo while the ability is active to get the benefits or do I charge it before an attack and wait for the powerup to run out before shooting?

[Homebrewer]

Ok, I just reloaded my mod soup. For some reason my navigator will not give me any kind of fix. The option is not in his report menu. Also when I first start a patrol my sub does not show on any maps. I am using real navigation. How do I get my navigator to work again?:damn:

That's why you run RealNav - you have to determine your position yourself with or without assistance from your crew. :DL

So you are saying that the only way you can get a fix is with the sextant? I was running real nav before and I could ask the navigatior for a fix, maybe the real navigation mod was not working right.:shifty:

Asking navigator for a dead-reckoning fix should produce an Nxx mark on the map in some minutes. Asking navigator for a celestrial fix should produce an Nxx mark somewhere between 30-60 minutes.

Obviously there is an error somewhere. You need to enable debugging (\documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg) and also run the DbgView app I included in \data\Applications before running the game. This will hopefully give me some kind of idea as to what the problem is.

How do I install the patch for the mod? Do I enable that one in addition to the main mod itself?

Also, (from my endless supply of n0ob questions) there was talk in the early pages of splitting it into two mods, one for the sounds and one for everything else. Did that end up happening? Is there a sound mod I should download too?

No you've not installed anti lag wrong.

The only reason some members make an JSGME version of anti lag is so that they can remove/add antilag easily. If you are not constantly changing your mods and testing new mods, then you will not need to remove anti lag.

MO should be the first mod in your list. this is because its been along time since MO was last updated. Other mods are newer.

No bubble, no halo - no dialog indicator mod... is not needed as New UI's also removes bubbles and halos and dialog indecator

MCCD is included in MO.... but not the german version... so you can remove MCCD 1.04 and MCCD 1.04 MFCM 1.2.1 compatible.
Flags - Accurate German flags and Sub flags 0.0.6 iare also included in MO.

Ok, I have read all 99 pages of this thread and undertaken advanced searches that would have Google trying to employ me but - and I consider this a tribute to the positive activity of this site - I cannot seem to find the Patch 1 for Magnum Opus. So please forgive me for asking something that may well have been asked many times before: where do I find it? I have the original mod and Patch 2 and I know the entire history of it including the long debated decision on its name etc (I have genuinely read all 99 pages - interesting read).

when I make a patch it's cumulative (contains all previous patches) therefore you don't need patch 1 (and you won't find it) :up:

Thanks for the very prompt reply. I did initially think it made sense only requiring Patch 2 but I read a number of 'my mods list' posts that had Patch 1 and 2 listed.

Hi All,

Firstly I just wanted to say thanks to those who have spent much time turning SH5 into the game it was meant to be via these mods. However as a new SH5 player I am having some problems installing this MO Mod. I have JGME working and setup properly and I can 'install' or activate the mod no problem. However when I run SH5 I hang just pass the loading screen (with the status bar) with the sound just stuck in a loop (5 seconds of music just looping) with no display - just blank.

If I remove the MO Mod then I get the normal menu options and the game works properly. Is there a step I have missed? I have watched the video on installing MO from youtube and followed those steps. I even tried to install the Dynamic Environment Mod and had the same issue..?

[THE_MASK]

Patch the game to 1.2 or it wont work .

[maccas]

I assume that it already is patched - it's a steam version of SH5?

[THE_MASK]

I dont have the steam version . I have the dvd version . In my game folder i have this game updater .
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater
I dont know how steam works .
When you start the game does it say 1.2 in the corner of the screen .

[maccas]

I can confirm 1.2 is installed. Interesting I can get the game to work with the following mods enabled:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\silent hunter 5\MODS]

Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (normal ) V2.1
Dynamic Environment SH5 Atlantic Floor V2.1
Dynamic Environment SH5 Waves (normal version) V2.1
Dynamic Environment SH5 Sounds V2.1
Dynamic Environmental SH5 Shallow Waters V2.1
Chart Colour Scheme 1
Church's SHV 1.01 Keyboard Commands v1.1

That works fine, if I remove all of those and select Magnum Opus then it hangs after loading. Same if I enable NewUIs_TDC_6_5_1. At least I can get some working now.

I wouldn't do that yet. Try implementing the troubleshooting steps listed at bottom of post #1 of my UIs mod thread. That way we can see where it's hanging up at.

Also try running the game as administrator.

Just going to a 64bit OS isn't really going to do that much unless you add more memory also (so total system memory is > 4GB)
