[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[maccas]

sounds like you are running out of memory. Let me take a guess here: you are running Win7 32 bit and have 2-4GB of memory, no?

Close, Win 7 64 bit with 4 gigs of ram. Time for more ram then?

4gigs should be plenty unless you really have alot of stuff running in the background. I've been using 4gigs with 64bit OS for sometime now with this game and haven't had any problems due to lack of memory. My 6950 card also has 2gigs of Vram.

That's what I would have thought, I have a 5770 with 1 gig on board and the game runs great. No performance issues at all. I've managed to install a few more mods now and the game still works.

Thanks for the mod TDW! Taken SH5 from unplayable to actually competing with SH3. Now if only Ubi cared this much about the game.
:salute:

Hmm, it appears my spread angle dial has disappeared(on any TDC setting, including spread). Can't tell if I did something wrong in the UI options file. Had it earlier with the mod installed, is there an option for it or should i be looking at a reinstall?

[stoianm]

will apear when you will swich on salvo shooting

Doh! Thank you!

Was selecting the tubes via the top left torp selector. Didn't realize it wasn't going to salvo.

No longer will there be a Conga line of torpedoes unless I need it.

After looking things over the video for installing this was very...weird. With all the mods on top of this it made it so I could select multiple tubes without setting to salvo. Just on plain MO now, working as it should. Then again some of the mods were updated since those vids were made.

Im using this mod and i heard the ui mod included has a real navigation addon but the sub marker is still appearing in the nav map, am i missing something here?

I have german voices enabled but at the start of the mission a voice can be eard in english saying "running both diesels", is this a bug?

[jwilliams]

I have german voices enabled but at the start of the mission a voice can be eard in english saying "running both diesels", is this a bug?

This is because MO has an included mod called "speech fixes and additions (English version)".

To fix this you will need to download "speech fixes and additions (German version)" and install after MO.

Are you ever going to update the mod , is it dead , or are you just waiting until we all die of old age?

Waiting for campaign to be finished from Zedi and crew :up: No point in releasing an update until this is done.

Did your mod removed the crew skills? For example ask the cook to make a special meal, if so how i bring it back?

[Targor Avelany]

MO mod contains Mighty Fine Crew Mod of a bit older version (i believe).

You can read up on it here:

There are also mods that will allow you to have all of the skills or will adjust the special abilities:

Has battery recharge times been fixed yet? I was playing AND enjoying the mod until i ran into recharging my batteries and seeing how long it was taking. That kinda put me off to SH5 in general, (not really a mod issue, but a game issue).

I don't think they were ever removed :shifty:

I have MO and MFC installed and have no problems with special abilities. I mean, they cost more and the managememnt slightly different, but they are there.

Is it possible you have not put any points towards those skills? :06:

[stoianm]

In MO is a mod called ''no magic skills'' - this change a bit crew abilities but they are still there only they are diferent from stock

[Sbygneus]

I dont care for the light blue water color looks like the pacific ocean.:oThe stock color water looks like the atlantic ocean color.:rock:I cant believe people like that light blue color.:-?

I agree. And the underwater visibility is much too good both in stock and in mods. Especially at greater depth. Below 50 meters there should be almost black, no matter how clean water is and how sunny a day is.

[TheDarkWraith]

I'd have to say that's an incorrect statement. As a diver who has dove all over the world I can say that even at 100 foot depth there is light. Visibility though depends on location (sediment in water, impurities, etc.)

Ok I was mistaken to some degree. this is quotation from encyclopedia:

"Most of the visible light spectrum is absorbed within 10 meters (33 feet) of the water's surface, and almost none penetrates below 150 meters (490 feet) of water depth, even when the water is very clear."

Even if I was wrong in my initial statement, I am pretty sure in reality you wont see what you see in SH5 at the 50m depth.

Sober, thanks for the link. I will try the mod!:salute:

Sober, thanks for the link. I will try the mod!:salute:

At 33 feet the color red is starting to be absorbed by the water and thus everything starts looking blue-green. At about 100 feet red is totally absorbed and green is about half-absorbed by the water. Everything starts to look like shades of blue. At about 150-175 feet light is very much reduced and the deeper you go the darker it gets.

[Lonelywolfmother]

Thank you very much for the great work, @TheDarkWraith. People like you made SH5 be the simulator we wanted.

Mi bit of sand: I would really like to have HiDef Realistic Interface (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=2748) in your mega-mod (Actually JSGME compatible).

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads/periscopetdc_sge.jpg

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/9286/zzzyn.jpg

Or any other mod introducing periscope AOB Finder rings.

Regards.

[TheDarkWraith]

RAOBF is in my UIs mod (and so is the attack disk). Once in a scope view click on the RAOBF button in the torpedo box (upper left of screen).

As far as including another UI mod in my mega-mod not going to happen. If I were to do it (and I won't) then you would lose:
- real navigation
- nav fixes (for real navigation - gives ability to add text to the marks also)
- radio messages (and upcoming campaign radio messages)
- Automation (allows player to define scripts that can be ran in-game. Can be used for automating tasks)
- Tutorials (subset of Automation - allows onscreen in-game tutorials so player can learn by using the mod/game)
- follow target (and upcoming follow target offset)
- speed finder (has navigator calculate speed and avg speed based on time that follow target is engaged)
- ability to use mousewheel for setting items
- draggable items position stored at game end and reset at game start. Keeps items where player placed them
- scope settings (can change scope filters on fly specifying any combination of red, green, and blue and ability to specify alpha component to achieve the desired filter effect)
- options file so one can configure the mod how they want
- hotkeys (defined via options file)
- SOAN (vastly enhanced rec manual)
- ability to choose 3 different UI styles (via options file)
- Ship's Journal (along with app that allows you to edit/create journals offline)
- Supermarks (just like regular nav map marks but you can specify color and add text to them)
- Navigator assist (navigator can calculate speed, avg speed, AOB, course, and avg course for player based on range readings taken)
- Destroyed marks
- ability to add new sounds to game without modifying the Sh.sdl file (radio messages feature uses this)
- ability to capture ANY mouse button and call functions when a specified button is pressed/released/clicked
- automatic mast height insertion when locked target is identified (fixes mast height bug of game without need for player interaction)
- high precision timer for timing (allows for many of the advanced features of the mod)

and that just names a few. My mega-mod is centered around my UIs mod. There are mega-mods out that use Reaper7's UI :up:

[Lonelywolfmother]

Woooops, I didn't know about your UI mod and all that problems with other ones.

I'm sorry for wasting your time :O:

Now I'm fighting with the config file, I set "AttackRAOBFEnabled = True" but I still no seeing it, I dont figure how to activate it.

[TheDarkWraith]

Those 'other ones' don't have problems. Those items I listed are features that I have added to my UIs mod.

You have to press the button for it in the attack scope torpedo box. The button says RAOBF.

[Lonelywolfmother]

*Facepalm* I was not enabling it well... lol sorry :O:

After some time studying the config file, I am really impressed with your work.

Thanks again and keep the good working!

I'm having severe issues with the Magnum Opus. Basically the core game and any random mods I've ever installed work fine with 50-60 fps at max settings (phenom x6 1090T, Radeon HD 5870, 8 gigs of DDR3) but with MO installed the framerate drops to 20-30 at first, and a minute or two later drops to 2-5 fps and makes the game almost unresponsive. I tried medium and even low settings and it's the same deal so something's not right.

I'm sorry if this is some obvious thing that's been solved before but I found nothing with my searches.

I've also had several of the mods included in MO installed seperately and they've worked fine, so I guess this is caused by some very specific mod in MO.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance :salute:

Well, let's try to sort this out.
Here at the forum there are no obvious solutions or silly questions. We're here to help each other. BTW, by far the best community of any kind I've ever been a member of.:yeah:
Next time it could be you helping me out. :D

I recognize this problem. For me it turned out to be because both CPU and GPU are too quick. Sounds weird but it's a fact in my (and many others') case.
This makes your system all the time struggling to produce as many GPS/sec as possible. But as there are certain things in the game slowing down this struggle that gives a side effect which is this GPS jumping up and down.
The best thing to do simply is to tell the CPU to calm down and put a max limit to the GPS:s.

First - download this and try it;
http://www.kegetys.net/dl.php/d3d_antilag101.zip (http://www.kegetys.net/dl.php/d3d_antilag101.zip)

It gives you the option to limit the number of fps rendered ahead.
Just follow the instructions in the readme.txt, very simple.

I use these settings
RenderAheadLimit=3
FPSlimit=36

Works just fine for me and gives a smoooth picture. :up:
If this doesn't solve your problem just get back here and we'll go on looking for the solution.

D3D antilag is included in Patch 2 and I installed, but while troubleshooting I only tried values 0, 1 and 2 for the RenderAheadLimit (neither had any noticable effect). Anyhow, once I get back home on Monday I'll play around with the config file again and will post results here.

Hmm, what about 'FPS Limit'? What did you set?

So far you've tried the Magnum Opus, right?
What about the 'NewUIs TDC' By TheDarkWraith?
Give it a try and let's see if you get the same results. It can be run simultaneously with MO but try to activate the New UIs TDC alone first.
Here is a link to that thread.


http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093)

As for both this one and the Magnum Opus by The Dark Wraith the latest version is always to be found at post #1.

Keep in touch :D

Edit;

Good suggestion above by Trevally.
You can also try to lower the shadows effect in the ingame Options/Graphics.
Another one - try to lower Anti Aliasing.

As Silent Steel posted above... You need to set a limit for the FPS.

Here is how I've set my config file for Antilag :-

; D3D9 antilag config file
; by Kegetys <http://www.kegetys.net>

; RenderAheadLimit: Limit how many frames ahead are rendered to reduce input lag. 0 to disable.
; FPSlimit: Limit framerate for smoother gameplay and reduced cpu/gpu use. 0 to disable.

[config]
RenderAheadLimit=2
FPSlimit=35

[SirBunker]

I won't be home until tomorrow to test new stuff but here's all the troubleshooting I did before I posted my original message:

I tried running the game with fps limit set to 36 and 60 for each of the RenderAheadLimit values I mentioned earlier. Even with 36 the framerate always dropped to 3-5 fps eventually. Setting graphics to low with AA and such off had no effect either.

I've run NewUIs TDC for a long time now, currently have an almost up-to-date version (seems TDW released a new version this week). I've had a wide range of mods installed i.e. environment mods (currently running Dynamic Environment), sound mods, IRAI and all those little fancy mods that add realism and immersion to the game. And none of them have effected performance in any noticable way except MO.

I even loaded the game with MO as the only mod and the problem persists, so it's not a issue of incompatibility between mods either.

Tomorrow I'll try setting the RenderAheadLimit to 3 and also test the light shadows mod. This gets me thinking, does MO use some (heavier) shadow mod by default? I don't think the mods I've used change shadowing so I've probably only run vanilla shadows to date. Are there any other mods included in MO that have an effect on rendering so maybe it/they could be disabled? This is a bit baffling to me since the game indeed has an awesome framerate with max settings on my rig with any other mod except MO. :06:

Thank you all for the tips, hopefully I get this solved tomorrow. :salute:

Open up the TAI and/or NavMap features screens (You have to press the round button). There you'll find an option to display the torpedo circles.

While I'm asking questions

This mod installed a namograph, how do I use this.

I saw a youtube video a guy pulled what looked to be a ship recog manual (same style) it had speed/distance, does this namograph help with speed calculations?

Am I right in thinking I zoom into the map all the way, make a mark, time 1 minute measure distance, if its 250 I can see from the namograph its 9/10 knots?

I haven't played SH5 for months because of this, the rate of change and quality of mods in the past 12months has been really something special and I can't wait to play again.

SIMs are funny things, they have to be right (which is a subject of indiviual opinion) and as the player you have to click with it but when you do the gaming rewards are great.

How do you change the default grey of the marks and lines you can draw on the map, I would like to change it from the grey default to black

thanks in advance

[Targor Avelany]

Look for .exe patches from TDW

There is one exquisite program by TDW called TDW_SH5_Patcher that allows you to change all the colors of the markings on the map.

But right now I can't find where to dowload it. :nope:


Maybe someone can help?

Hi there,

Does this mod include one of the 'lite campaign' modifications? And if so, how would I know if they're working?

Despite having installed this mod, in the campaign's first mission, I'm still being given objectives like 'sink 50,000 tons off Britain's East coast' and 'sink 100,000 tons of Britain's South coast'. These are ridiculous figures! Are these actually the modified values?

Thanks

No it does not.

[Shadriss]

Unless I missed it somewhere, I've not seen an actual list of included mods. With no list, I'm having problems determining which other mods I can even use. IE, I would ASSUME that you have your FX_Update mod in here... but I dont know that for certain. And if it gets updated after the most recent update to MO, could I just d-load the updated standalone and overwrite with JSGME?

On a totally unrelated note, I'm a NUB.... again. *sigh* ANd I thought I was done with those days. I'll be down on the mess decks, cranking... again.

First off, well done to TDW and all others involved in this mega mod. it has really made the sim more immersive.:up:
there are just a couple of things i would like to ask, ( probably somewhere within this thread but i dont have the time to read the hundred or so pages ;))

can i use any of the fixes for the sonar? i just cant seem to detect anything even at 1 knot. i have even been within 10 kms of a reported target in the fog and still not heard it

is there a fix for time compression collisions ? sometimes i find myself having to travel for days to get to a target only to collide or be attacked and sent to the locker during TC.
thanks

have you used the .exe patcher? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1621039&postcount=1

[Shadriss]

THanks for that - but only half my question got answered. THe second half had to do with updating and overwriting in JSGME those mods which have since been updated. As an example, the MO has TDW's FXupdate V11... and IIRC it's up to v16 now. COuld I safely overwrite the MO files that FX16 would affect and still have everything work?

I would say that generally - if it is TDW's mod: yes. He is very good with back-compatability. The problems sometimes arise if you will have other mods overwriting files, especially if they don't specify the compatability. That is, howEver, trial and error way only. So far I have about 20 mods installed and have very few problems. But I also haven't dogged in the files myself that much yet.

[morj_uk]

Ok. uninstalled all my other mods, and went for this one. However , i'm fairly new at this. I torpedoed a destroyer and sank it then set sail with my tail between my legs as in hot pursuit were 2 other destroyers. Now.. these things are sticking to me like dog poo to the sole of your shoe could not shake them off. Now, not only that, there are now 8 of them. After a day of being peppered (unsuccessfully i might add) with depth charges i eventually ran out of Oxygen. In this massive thread somewhere is a way to change this difficulty so you can get rid of the poo easier. can any one help me out!!?? Please

Morgs:06:Unfortunatly you've stumbled upon SH5's greatest flaw and a major part of what makes it currently unplayable. In certain situations, once the AI has a lock on you that lock is permanent, until you save and reload the game. This of course completely destroys the immersion factor and thus ruins the game. I know that The Dark Wraith has worked fantastically hard on an AI Mod, which you may wanna try. That's located here:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=171973

I'm not sure if this truly fixes that problem, it may be hardcoded (meaning it's only correctable by the development team that created SH5, that would be bad and mean that SH5 is truly dead for me). Hopefully it is fixable. I believe The Dark Wraith is working on an update for his Magnum Opus that contains a myriad of improvements and hopefully this version will make SH5 playable at last. Can't wait! :yeah:

Sorry to report I have the upright oil slick problem, they seem to follow the sub around sometimes too. Also hilarious light shafts shining through the faces of the two interactable characters (engineer and mission commander) in the sub pen :haha: Also getting a fair few CTDs.

Hi guys,

After installing via JGSME MO plus patch, I get a funny grey "popup" shield in harbour. It is divided in 2 black windows with an unclickble "ok".
Then on the grey part below it gives 3 clickable but not responding alternatives OK, ACCEPT and eehhrm CANCEL. No other mods installed, no such prob on vanilla.

I cannot interact with fregattencaptain for missionorders ect. No probs single mission (what I played thusfar)...

Any clues? Cheers, Trebb.:salute:

Any idea what the big pink splotch that appears when you've sunk a ship is? Sometimes it seems to rest on the waves, other times it seems to float about conning tower height, giving everything below the deck crew's eye-level a pink tinge!

It's the flare's reflection on the water. Look high up in the sky and you'll see a red flare burning (if the unit fired off a flare before being destroyed). This comes from the FX_Update mod.

[0rpheus]

Oh, I see! Thanks TDW :)

Any idea on what causes the oil slick glitch then? Looks like one of those hair-tearing recurring issues that just won't go away! :hmmm:

Same standing vertical reported in this thread before, also vertical ones following the boat about. I'm not using anything beyond what's in the OM mod as on the front page, I think someone mentioned that before but I thought I read in the OM docs that it was included already, so I thought I'd better not install it twice?

Same with the uboat CTD fix, that's included too isn't it? Or should I be getting that as well? I'm a bit new to SH5 modding, so sorry if these are dumb questions!

Current JSGME list:

Magnum Opus 0 0 1

Magnum Opus patch2

the uboat CTD fix hasn't changed in version so there's no need to install it again. The FX_Update mod has changed in version since MO so it's ok to install again (after MO)

[0rpheus]

Fair enough, I'll get that now then. :) Good to know the uboat fix is in there, must be something else wonky though as I still get the occasional CTD... though it's starting to see like that's the norm for this game even with a perfect installation! ;)

I wish I could say what causes them for some, but:doh: could be lots of things:O:

If you use a good mod list from users who have spent time getting them right - you should then follow the "SH how to avoid ctds" rule book.


never run TC over 1024
never run TC over 64 when close to land
install mods in bunker (unless stated ok not to)
never save/load when ships are within 30km
never save/load when underwater
learn what the mods you install do and what files they change
EDIT: Sorry TDW for this OT

[0rpheus]

More questions, sorry!

Magnum Opus 0 0 1
Magnum Opus v0 0 1
Magnum Opus patch2

Out of the above, do I need v001 installed to make MO complete, or should I leave it out if it just adds new ships? Not adding it seems to put the ubi splash back on game load and leaves the yellow 'highlight border' on crew/stations etc, which I thought was removed by MO.

Ah, I see - thanks SS! I'm not bothered about the logo intro or removing the halos, just that they reappeared after removing the v0_0_1 and I got confused about what mod was doing what! I do notice without the v0_0_1 I also revert back to the stock torpedo loadout screen - any idea what the mod was that made it look better? Have reverted back to the beta v0_0_1 just to get that back as I can't seem to find it on the site.


Also, should I be getting the latest Dynamic Environment mods and IRAI? What order should I install them, before or after the base MO?

Thanks again :salute:


Also, just to confirm TDW, I am still getting the vertical oil slicks following me around with the latest FX Update. Mod list as follows:

Don't know if it's any help with an explanation, but a save/reload fixes it.

Hi Trebb

Too old? I don't think so.

Are you patched to 1.2.0 ?

If not run this one :

C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe




Then disable the MO and enable again. Let's see if it gets you up and running.

If not check you've applied the Patch 2 correctly.

Should do the trick :yep:

Regards

[trebby]

Hi Silent Steel!

Tried all that:

1. Double checked 1.2.0 as version.
2. Re-unzipped MO and patch 2, into MODS folder JSGME. Then activated it as only mods.
Inside Patch 2 JSGME file is also called "Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1", just like main mod right?

No change. I have SH5 installed on my external drive "I:" and I noticed 8 funny files dumped in the main directory called Page_soandso.TDW.
It seems like a problem related to keyboard mixup. Maybe I´d better reinstall the game...


Cheers trebb.

Nb. Maybe not to old, just a bit frustrated:salute:

an old version of TDW`s New UI`s is also part of MO, did you touched the optionsfile of it ? ...if so restore the original options file, or install the latest version of TDW`s New UI`s

Orpheus - you should first check and see if you have installed the FX mod correctly.
To do that - uninstall it with JSGME so that it moves to the left side of JSGME window.
Then right click and explore.
The first folder you should see is a data folder.:up:

still pray for the day we can get a one shot mega download. new things still being developed. i cant wait! if its 4 years from now, it will still be worth it.

[0rpheus]

One question which leads to another: how expensive (in terms of promotion points) have you made the 'Faster Battery Recharge' ability on the Motor Officer? I have 37 promotion points and I still can't afford it - I don't mind so much for the other skills (not even used them yet as I've been saving up for this) but this one is a bit of a must as it takes almost the whole day to charge batteries early on, and according to the forums I should be getting skills like the cook's meal etc as well, which will take forever at this rate!

Which leads to the next - can I change the cost manually - and subsequently, is it possible to revert to the stock abilities whilst still using MO? I assume you changed them for realism as I understand they were a little overpowered, but as the stock game is arse I've not played an unmodded game yet, and so have never tried any of them.

Cheers in advance :)

EDIT: While I'm at it, were I to get the latest IRAI to overwrite the MO version, would it be ok to put it at the end of the mod list, or will it need to go somewhere specific? Would be a pain to have to remod the whole thing again as I'm getting a bit tired of restarting lol. I assume even with the older version the AI improves over the course of the war, as I'm regularly evading escorts that would have crippled me in SH4/TMO? I get that early war they had crap sonar etc, but even still.. :)

If I'm not mistaking, 'stoianm upgrade available mod' and 'stoianm crew abilities available mod' + 'eguipment upgrate fix by the Beast' allows to make any upgrades without any points that are good for 'shooters' but not for the realistic sim:yep:. Just read the 'List your mod loadout/order' thread to install the propper versions of this mods correctly in to the right place:salute:.

[0rpheus]

Thanks Vlad, I'm running with Stoianm's free upgrades and Beast's extra upgrades as a result of your post. I'm not sure I want all the crew abilities to be free though - I like the progression and I don't mind having some of the more unrealistic ones locked out (wtf is 'reveal hidden enemies', lol?).

So I think, if possible I'd just like to alter the cost for the battery recharge skill. It doesn't make much sense for it to cost more than 37 points when other abilities cost one or two points a level. Any thoughts TDW? Is it possible?

Anything is possible. You just have to edit the correct file. I'm away from my computer so I can't look and see which file it is. Try doing a search on your computer for SpecialAbilities.upc as that seems to ring a bell currently.

[0rpheus]

That's the file, there's one in MO & the stock data files. The entry in both the stock SH5 file and the MO file are the same (presumably because I'm running the mod):

[SpecialAbility 7]
ID=Ability-Reduce-Battery-Recharge
NameDisplayable=Ability-Reduce-Battery-Recharge-Name
Description=Ability-Reduce-Battery-Recharge-Description, Ability-Reduce-Battery-Recharge-Description, Ability-Reduce-Battery-Recharge-Description, Ability-Reduce-Battery-Recharge-Description, Ability-Reduce-Battery-Recharge-Description
Levels= 1
AbilityType=BatteryRecharge ;reduces battery recharge time (in percents)
AbilityValue= 0

PointsRequirement= 0
AbilityRequirements= 0
LevelUpTree= 2
MoraleCost= 0
PointsCost= 1000

AbylityActsIn= ALL

Duration=3600
Cooldown=86400

So not sure what 'Levelup Tree' is, but looks like it costs 1000 points! :o I assume that's the number to alter anyway?

If I alter these files, will I have to remove and re-add MO to the mod list in order for it to work? Last time I messed with the mod list too much it wrecked my campaign and I'm a bit wary!

EDIT: just tried RTB's Morale Mod, but it CTDs any existing saves, so thats not an option. :(

Double Edit: Yup, altering that file (found in data/UPCDataGE/UPC Crew Data) to 10 sets the in-game cost to 10 as expected. Assume it'll revert if I uninstall MO but it's an easy tweak, thanks for the pointer TDW. Will probably go back through that list and check the others, as I think there are a few more that costs 1000 points. :)

I have noticed that, the weird black flashy objects/glitchy textures of far away objects IS GONE.

I believe something in MO causes black flashy on/off texture weirdness for some people. Can anyone else confirm that their game of MO has black flashy on/off weirdness? The problem is most apparent looking through binoculars at ships.

Hi Mobucks,

How distant do you mean these objects are? 2-3 miles, ~10 miles or maybe more?

What GPU do you have?
Are you using some software to adjust the GPU's performance?
In case you do - what are your settings?

What are your graphics settings in the game menu?

Regards :salute:

[mobucks]

Opps sorry for the confusion, i did not mean far away,


the problem is visible on close ships, any range where you can clearly see the details of the ship. Much more easily noticed when looking at close range ship with binoculars.

Nothing has changed in my graphics options/video setup from the transition from MO to Sobers set up.

intel q9300 quad core 2.5ghz

geforce 260 896mb

6GB DDR2 ram

All game settings maxxed, except FSAA, which is off.

[THE_MASK]

Be aware that i get ctds from OH2 full . The campaign is flawless , its just that the ships need some work . The lite version of OH2 has no ctds . I just thought i would let you know .

Can't see why this config shouldn't work just fine.

But-
Are you using nHancer for your GPU?
If you're using nHancer - what settings? Even try to just switch it off. I remember my old GeForce GPU and nHancer... Could be a real pain in the a**
Pay attention to Anti Aliasing, don't push it too far + AA mode.
Also - I get best performance with Vertical Refresh on.
Even try to lower your Shadows in the main menu.

What about your screen -
Make?
Rez?
Settings? :hmmm:

I agree with what Sober said above. The OH2 Full is eating FPS and memory so I find it better to run the Light beacause of better performance.
(ATI FirePro-V7800 2GB and 8 Mb Ram GDDR5)

Cheers

[mobucks]

EDIT: The anomilies came back when stress testing in Scapa Flow OHII. I think it has something to do with too much resources being used. Oh well. Disregard all I've said below.


hmm, going from the MO/FX/UIs/IRAI/OHII ---- terrible FPS

to

Sobers modlist i stated below,

I have a much smoother game leaving port on first mission.

I will test more.

I wont be reinstalling MO just to see these graphics anomilies and troubleshoot them, they are gone with this current setup, so that is all i care about.

I merely posted my experience because AFAIK people had been reporting similar issues, I know many of us use MO, and figured people might see them resolved by removing that mod.

Cheers.

[Silent Steel]

EDIT:
...terrible FPS...

Have you tried the d3d Antilag yet? It should help you get a steady FPS and smooth performance in all missions/campaigns. :up:
If not download it here;

http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/BadgerFinn (http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/BadgerFinn)

Read the 'readme.txt' file carefully, you can't apply this one with JSGME.

/

[mobucks]

Well, the 260 is not that great for this game. It struggled with the stock game. So things will always be framey for me.


I use the D3Dantilag with default settings. It allowed me to run the game with shadows. Even FSAA.

Heh, give me a few more FPS, and i'll find a way to make it low again. Love shadows.

I haven't tried playing SH5 for several months now due to low machine performance specs, I have since upgraded my video card so it may be playable, my specs:
Win XP Pro
Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe Motherboard
4gb HyperX Ram (1070mhz)
AMD Phenom II Deneb dual core (3.71ghz)
AMD Radeon HD6850 (GPU 850mhz Mem 1050mhz)
Are these specs sufficient?:hmmm:
@ TDW, since I do not yet have OM, is it worth downloading and adding mods or would it be better to have patience and wait for the next version?:hmmm:
Thanks.

Hi Reece

Your specs should be capable enough.

I think you should download the OM + it's patch and the NewUIs_TDC too and try them. Enable the NewUIs_TDC after MO.
Don't forget the patch.

For sure there is a 'full' version coming but as it takes some more time to get it ready for release I still think you should try it out.

Well I had a go at getting some screens of the flashy black texture problem, and it's actually quite difficult - the screens don't catch the flashing very well. Here's the best ones I could get:

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/558664839982908209/4D80E470FB9EF48367C45C1F9EE6F42C35C54F48/

You can kinda see it on the striped bow of the ship... you can see what look like shadow triangles.. but it's not very clear. The bow, the launcher things in the middle of the ship, the porthole on the side of the DD all flash black at quite high speed... you can kinda see a tiny black tear on the porthole too.

I'm not sure if it's the shadows causing it or the textures. Sometimes the effect is very visible on terrain if you use the free camera and move it quite far away from the sub, ships too. I might have a look and see if I can get a terrain grab of it when I come into port later.

Hi Orpheus
Could you please tell me about;
- Your GPU, it's driver version and RAM.
- Graphics settings in the Main Menu in the game.
- If you're running a GeForce GPU - are you running nHancer?
- Do you run any shadow improvement mod?

/Regards

Sure:

ATI 5770 1gb x2 in Crossfire, though I run a single card for SH5. Catalyst is 11.5.

Here's a screen of my in-game settings: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/558664839984058019/17DB2337CC8A496D0198F430319858CF3D9D6401/

No nHancer, but I do run ShadowImprovementLR as the heavier version in MO kills my fps a bit.:D

The size of the monitor also affect the FPS , the bigger the monitor the lower FPS

[0rpheus]

I know. I get a stable 50+ with my current settings. I forget exactly what happened with the heavier improvements, bit more stutter I think, either way it was enough to make me downgrade. :D

[Silent Steel]

The size of the monitor also affect the FPS , the bigger the monitor the lower FPS

I run an ATI GPU as well and I found that the Catalyst/CCC was messing with my SH5 performance.

Make a fresh driver install but don/t install the CCC, just the driver. The 11.7 runs fine on my system.
Make sure you first uninstall your current driver properly.

Go here for intsructions on how to do it;
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-20870HowtoInstallYourATIProduct.aspx#header3 (http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/737-20870HowtoInstallYourATIProduct.aspx#header3)
Make sure you choose the proper Article - Article GPU-33/Win7, Article GPU-1/Vista, Article GPU-2/XP

I run a 27" display + the d3d Antilag and haven't had any FPS losses. These are my d3d settings;
RenderAheadLimit=3
FPSlimit=38

And my Main Menu settings;

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=4668

Turn the Vertical Sync on.

Runs brilliantly. :up:
I suggest you try it.

[0rpheus]

I'm not sure that it's a driver issue as I've never seen anything like it in other games, though I'll try tweaking some Catalyst settings maybe over the next few days. If mobucks is also running ATI then maybe it is.. but I'm going to wait until 11.8 is released before I go through the hassle of updating again. ;) Also I didn't realise you could install the drivers without the catalyst software... how would you control your cards without it?

It looks like the shadow settings are going bonkers.. other than that I don't know how to describe it, sharp edges like bow, some hull plates, portholes, textures on DC launchers all flash black very fast.

On a possibly unrelated note, looking at your gfx settings Silent I'm surprised to see the particles so high.. they slow my system down something terrible! Though I've just remembered someone here mentioning that having particles off could cause little gfx glitches, maybe it's that?

If you go to http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GraphicsDriverInstallationInstructionforMicrosoftW indows7.aspx (http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GraphicsDriverInstallationInstructionforMicrosoftW indows7.aspx), you'll find various download options. With CCC or just the driver.
Download and save the driver (not the pack with the CCC and the rest of what I would call crap) and go through the uninstall, follow the instructions and make sure there are no ATI icons left in the Controlpanel\Programs and functions after uninstall.
Sometimes the CCC is a bit persistent and uninstall just won't take all the ATI icons away, if so download the CCleaner ; http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/ (http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/) and let it sweep them out from your system.
I guess you'll gain very little by waiting for the 11.8. The 11.7 runs fine.
And you say '...how would you control your cards without it?' - The CCC just gives you some options to set some values but this far I've only seen this causing conflicts with ingame settings.
Even for other sims as well, not only SH5.
The Windows graphics settings are just enough.
I suggest you try it. I'm quite confident you'll see what I've seen. :up:

[0rpheus]

Ok I'll have a look, if I can't fix it then I'll look at new drivers. Will wait to hear if mobucks also runs ATI as that will be a factor no doubt! :D

[Deep Six]

The Darkwraith, what a fanstastic piece of modding you have here, this and OH has brought renewed intrest in SH5...

But I have a request, I read in the notes to patch v2 that you have implemented through the messaging interface, ships can now report sighted periscopes....Can this be toned down/turned off. I ask because its almost "spamming the gui" with this type of message. I would estimate on my first real patrol to the UK eastern coastal waters, that 60% of the messages where of the type "Periscope sighted....Blah...Blah" I was constantly opening the message recived interface to delete these entries.

Another option, if doable is to put this type of message inside the right hand side message log..So rather then seeing a "Message recived" text when then in turn you have to open the message box proper, only to find its a "Periscope sighted message"..You actually get the message in its proper format in the log box...Anyways congratulations ona magnificent put together mega mod.

Cheers

When I extract the contents of the patch into my MOD folder there are 6 subfolders: Antlag, Maps, MODS, nVidia missing lights, Shadows, Text.

Can I activate them all at once (as a folder called patch2) using JSGME or do I have to activate them individually?

Ok, because screenshots just don't work I've made a video of the flickering problem. It's 25meg - smallest I could get it with reasonable quality I'm afraid, and I have no youtube account, so you can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?4ov2ga49jhsugbu

Hopefully this helps someone figure it out! It's starting to grate but I don't want to drop MO as it has the nicer torpedo loadout screen etc. :D

[Deep Six]

Orpheus, just had a look at your video and compared it to my mod loadout with MO....I don't usually play with external view enabled, but for this purpose I did. I'm getting the very same graphical glitching. I did notice though that if you pan around the effected model, the flickering dissapears and seems to stay away. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with shadows?

I'm running 2XNvidia 460 GTX in SLI, so very different from your rig with ATI Gpu's. So as this seems to be cross gpu specific I do not think its a driver issue, as my drivers are bang up to date. I'll spend some time today experimenting with the shadow section of MO...High/Med/Low and without in conjunction with the main interface sliders...Ses if it changes anything.

On another note, does SH5 support SLI/Crossfire?

I agree on this but still I must say that with SH5 at least my ATI GPU works far better without CCC/Catalyst.
My best advice is - throw it out from your system. :up:

Thanks for checking DeepSix, I appreciate it. Guess that's three of us who can reproduce this glitch. And yeah it does seem to stabilise sometimes when you pan in/out or around the ship, but it doesn't seem to be 100% even when it does improve in this way.

I think you might be on to something with the shadows. When I see it in game, I see texture glitches that seem to divide the hull into discrete rectangles/areas, though it's difficult to make out because of the movie compression, and the flashing on raised textured surfaces like the deck guns, deck hatches etc that you can see in the vid. At first I thought it was trying to apply shadows to the ships' damage zones, but I assume they wouldn't include stuff like the deck hatches so I'm probably wrong there.

Mobucks said that when he removed MO and used Sober's list, the texture glitching vanished, so it must be something in MO causing it. I guess we'll need to wait for TDW to return from holiday as he knows MO better than anyone! Fingers crossed though as this is an important issue! :D

Ah ok, I assume you checked the video to make sure it was the same glitch - could you post your mod list? MO incorporates a lot of mods into a single package so it might be possible to identify which mod is causing it if we know what you're using :)

[etheberge]

Orpheus and others with the graphic glitch:

I haven't booted up SHS in a long time but your video looks like a glitch introduced/made more evident by a camera mod from CCIP. I think either a) that mod is in MO/TDW UIs or b) TDW tweaked the camera too and you're seeing the same kind of problem.

A good way to test would be to replace the camera.dat file in Data\Library with the default version and see if the problem goes away.

You can find a copy of the default camera.dat file in this download (in the backup folder) in case you don't have it handy: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=1571&act=down

I haven't read all your posts on the problem so forgive me if I'm way off.

You're far from way off Etheberge, that's exactly the problem, and it is linked to that camera mod. I created a mini-mod containing just the default cameras.cam file and overwrote MO (and New UIs with TDC 6_6_0 as it also modifies the .cam file) and tested it: the glitching is massively reduced.

There is still a little flickering at very long distance, as mentioned in the other thread and the main camera mod thread - but it's much more tolerable. Shame to lose the camera fixes as going back to default is a little jarring, but it's certainly a huge improvement. Thanks dude!:rock:

Looking at the original camera mod thread this problem was identified and never fixed... I assume that mod has long since bitten the dust (last post 2010) and there's little hope of a fix now? Good to have the problem identified though!

[Poacher886]

I was wandering what is still outstanding for the new MO mod update?....Do you (TDW) have all the components and are just waiting to get the time to put them all together and test? or are you waiting on fixes for other mods your are hopping to include?

Any feedback on the current state of development, or even better a rough date would be appreciated. Im still holding off returning to SH5 until this is released, hence the question.

Don't hold off! MO is running great. You guys wont be disappointed. It made me come back to SH5. I didn't want to have a million mods. I started with MO and it really does give SH5 the look it should of had. After that I got obsessed with adding mods and now if you look at my mod list, it kindof got out of control :ping:

Hi Reece
Google them.
As long as you have the correct names given by the author most of them are possible to find this way.
Just check that the link is taking you to SubSim.

After that I got obsessed with adding mods and now if you look at my mod list, it kindof got out of control :ping:

Small remark, mia:03:
In your mod list Real Sink mod is installed before OHII. But the OHII data map contains Zones.cfg. So if OHII includes your real sink mod, than the last one is not useful to be applied, if not - than real sink must be installed after OHII in order to overwrite Zones.cfg.
Is it correct?

p.s. Sorry for off-top:salute:

Good morning Vlad
I think you're right, the OHII has a Zones.cfg file so it seems reasonable that the Real Sink should be enabled after the OHII

Yes Real Sink should be after OHII. I was using OHII light before which didn't have a zones.cfg. Before I enabled OHII I deleted the zones CFG from it. Doing that will not effect OHII. Thanks for pointing that out. I will adjust my mods link so others don't get confused.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I think i might have to take the plunge again then soon as it sounds a while away yet and im begining to get need for SH5 again.

Can the latest edition of IRAI be installed on top of MO? and does Open horizons work with MO aswell....this looks like a good starting point.

Thanks

So just to clarify...If i install MO and Patch 2 first, then IRAI 0.300 (i think thats the latest) after, then OH11 last, it wont conflict with the MO Mod??

You can do it that way but keep in mind - if you've done any settings in the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file don't forget to migrate the .py files before patching. Otherwise you'll loose your settings and will have to start all over again.
It's a good idea to always keep a backup copy of your last updated .py file e.g. on your desktop.
(Use the OptionsMigrater.exe. You find it in \data\Applications of any version of MO or NewUIs).
If you're activating some version of the NewUIs_TDC after the MO the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py in the NewUIs_TDC will overwrite the previous activated ones in the MO.
The last TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py overwrites the previous ones.

As for the other mods it's OK but when activating OHII you will get some warnings in JSGME but just ignore them - press 'Yes'.

+ check your PM

[Poacher886]

I know this may be deep in this thread, but I have not been here in a long time due to life.

Anyway, I am trying this mod, with the patch and as the game loads (I am docked in La Spezia), just as the dock fades in, the game CTDs.

This does not happen with the mod and patch uninstalled.

Any idea what is going on here?

Have you patched SH5 to v1.2_

Where do I find the version of the game installed? Also, can I uninstall and reinstall without having issues with the copy protection?

In main menu it will say version in top right.

kk, I just found that I am patched up to 1.2.

However, I also noticed that for some reason I cannot deactivate some mods, showing that something has happened to my installation of Sh5. (grrr), so I am going to attempt to reinstall.

Wish me luck. LOL

[vlad29]

@Pythos

I have never had issues reinstalling.
[/URL]

There is one issue with registration:
If You reinstalling the game from the same DVD, You had to be registered at the same user-name and enter the same password as before to get access to the UBI-account. The SH5 protection system considers to have only one account for one DVD serial number:yep:.
I've faced this issue myself and had some troubles when few months ago I reinstalled the game and tried to install it 2 weeks later, and found out that I forgot my password:damn: So there was a big mess for me when trying to create new account, everything was useless:har:.
Fortunately I found the old dbgview file saved on my PC which contained the information (user account name and password) necessary to log in.

P.S. Now I just get reed of this borrowing procedures with logging-in, synchronization of saved games, etc. at all:woot:

Patching begins automatically after installing the game from DVD You click the sh5.exe. file. Or you should better run game updater (is in support folder) to be sure the patch is installed. It's quite a long procedure, so be patios and wait until it should be installed completely:rock:.

Good luck, Pythos:salute:

[pythos]

Okay, The reinstall went fine. Got the game patched up to 1.2. But This mod STILL crashes to desktop.

I have installed the patch for the mod, but this is what happens.

Game loads to the main screen.

I load a saved game in dock, and wait...and wait...and wait.

Finally the bunker scene begins to load up, but before being fully loaded up, CTD.

Now, I really don't know what is going on here. Looking at the patch there does not actually seem to be anything going on. In other words all the folders in the patch contain more compressed files, as well as having a file with the original add on files. I looked at the readme and could find no installing instructions other than to use JSGME, which is what I used.

addendum: Just loaded a historic mission, and it ran fine and OMG this is gorgeous eye candy wise. LOL. But I guess this is meaning I have to restart my career :( I will try a scratch new career.

Addendum2: GOT IT!!! Not sure what was happening, but something in my initial reinstall was wrong and causing some sort of issue. I completely uninstalled the game, and cleared out its folder, and did another reinstall and patch, and the mod is running, along with others. Have yet to do a full patrol, but am back in action at least for now.

Addendum 3: The issue is still not fully solved. The CTDs, are intermittent and happen on load up. Currently starting new career, and am on the Type VIIA out in the baltic, headed to Kiel. Gonna see if the dock loads up after I reach Kiel.

Are you sure the patch2 to MO is installed correctly? There's a good video-tutorial by STOIANM (he is wright now very busy while negotiating with 'Warner Bro's' about future joint movie-projects:woot:) where the whole installation process is described properly

I think it depends upon system requirements and number of complicated mods incl. MO installed. Running with 2048 MB of RAM I'm facing the same situation with long downloading time, being able to have a cup of coffee and to receive few messages from my housewife re. 'husband debt'.

Hi, Pythos. Pl. notice some remarks in green. If there any progress in your problem by now?

[pythos]

Thanks for the links about that patch. I will watch them when I get home to fix my balky installation of this mod. It works intermittently at the moment.

[pythos]

kk, as I approached kiel, the game crashed to desktop. It is something to do with the harbor things.
I'll continue sorting this out.

I did apply the patch as noted in those vids. Maybe did something wrong in that step. Gonna dump this download of Maxum opus, and download new ones.

[pythos]

I redid everything, and so far so good. U-27 is headed out into the baltic on a mission part of Open Horizons mission one.

We shall see how it goes.

[Poacher886]

@TDW.

I've been trying to get rid of radio contact reports from the BDU that are for the other side of the world. I've checked your options file and found the one which say's "Change max radius for BDU contact reports from sub"....or words to that effect.

You note that the setting is in metres and already have it set at default @45000. This is whats confusing as that equates to 45Km and that would be if anything a little close (as a max), yet i receive contact reports as far as North africa when patroling off England???

Also, im wanting to make the BDU radio contact reports refer to my chosen Hull number (adjusted via option file). The radio messages DO refer to my chosen hull but not the contact reports.
I see you added a note refering to the change of the hull number in the documents folder which i did (and saved) but when i return to the game it still calls me U-27 (not my hull number) and when i come out of the game, the documents folder has returned to U-27 again?.

Normally to adjust your options file, i just go straight into SH5/data/Scripts/Menu/options file and all works well. do i need to uninstall MO mod then change the documnets file hull number then re-install to work??

One more question, i've found the file for changing the boats max dive depth, but i am confronted with two submarine files for each boat, which is the correct one to adjust and again do i need to un-install the mod first.

Thanks alot.

Follow up:

Just for fun I tried to view the ships in the museum. Went through several US ships, got to the landing ship tank, and moved on to the next and *bam*, black screen followed by CTD.

I also encountered a CTD when attempting to start a new career, minus the tutorial.

Still having issues. Trying to sort out a commonality in the failures. The technical report has had a commonality concerning a .dll, but at the moment I forget the whole number.

[pythos]

This is the error code I got on my crash report when the sim crashed outside of Kiel on the way back following the Tutorial

AppName: sh5.exe AppVer 1.2.0.0 ModName: msvcr90.dll ModVer: 9.0.30729.4148 Offset: 00036bf4

Not sure how much help this will be for trouble shooting. This may be a problem isolated with my machine...which would suck, cause looking at this mod I will miss out on a lot.

Addendum: I removed everything but Magnus opus, THEN, installed just the base of OPEN HORIZONS II (I was running the full versions along with MO). I approached AND entered Kiel (fanfare).

Sooo, it would seem the problem lies with Open Horizons II, opposed to MO. Continuing looking for issue.

Hi Pythos

To get a better picture of the problem - start the Dbgview.exe before you start SH5.
If you CTD it will create a report with full info.

You find it in;

NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Applications \Dbgview.exe

:03:

[pythos]

I just encountered another CTD while leaving the Skaggerat.

I attempted to find the file referenced but could not find it.

However, I am really thinking this is an Open Horizons issues and not a MO issue.

Still chasing.

hey all,

i just installed magnus opus and it seems to be really good and added alot of immersive extras.

the only problem i am having is that the number of radio intercepts i recieve is just insane and tbh quite annoying. i watched a video of stoianm1 (http://www.youtube.com/user/stoianm1) who has Magnus opus installed and i noticed within the video he seemed to have an option to turn off specific radio notifications. any advice on how i can reduce/turn this off so that i can recieve only notifications from bDu?

any help would be greatly recieved!

Open up the radio messages box (click the radio messages icon in upper right lower bar) and click on the options (the arrow at bottom). Select what you want.

If you want to make the changes permanent then you need to edit the options file.

yeah, thats what i saw in the video - the only problem i have is that i don;t physically have that box! ill log in again now to see if i have missed anyhting but im 99.9% certain i haven't!

no hurry, just want to sink some ships without 112 reports of submarine spotted in five minutes :))

thanks for all the help guys, its appreciated!

*EDIT*
i've applied the new ui mod - works fine, albeit without the patch, there is no radio message options button. if i apply the patch however, on starting game, the screen is covered in different types of overlays; what i assume to be the various sh3/4/5 options of ui. which leads me to think i havent applied the patch correctly. do i just enable it within jsgme (like i have been) or do i apply it in another fashion?

i have installed newuis 6.7.0 - on its own works fine, albeit no radio messages option
on applying 6.7.1 by jsgme - sh5 broken :(
only other mods enabled are MO 0.01 + patch, nvidia missing lights, lag fix, shadow improvement and original map colours.

I had the same problem, Pythos. Fresh downloading of MO, re-installation of game didn't occur to be helpful. The problem appeared after I reinstalled Windows7Ultimate on my PC. Before it MO've being running great under XP and Win7Pro. I had quite a weak system by now so I just quit messing with MO, and just applied separately the main mods it consists of:salute:.

Moreover, for Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2 Gb are enough to operate with. Over-clocking didn't play a trick, and the CPU-z reported 30% of productivity increase were not sensible:yep:.
So now I've faced a choice of either to say 'good bye' to at least 700$ for upgrade or to stay in the past and off-board the community:hmmm:.

Hallo Das Basti

Welcome to SubSim :salute:

Have you patched the SH5 to v1.2?
If not:
1. Disble the mod with JSGME
2. Start C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe. This will update SH5 with the patch.
3. Try to run SH5 again.

So, after much uninstalling and re-installing, I have gotten a stable submarine simulator :).

Every now and then it will crash when on high TC. But that is no issue. Now I just have to configure it so that when a fraggin plane arrives on the scene the TC goes to one. LOL

The sim is back so far so good, and this mod is amazing.

[phil82]

Sorry if this has been discussed, but this thread is freaking long :D

Does this mod contain all of The Dark Wraith's other mods? It seems to have a version of the Random AI one and the UI mod but there seems to be about fifty seperate mods floating about and I'm getting a bit confused.

Is this a meant to be a standalone mod (sort of like TMO or RFB for SH 4) or should I be looking for other mods as well?

Also, I'd like to say thanks very much to The Dark Wraith and any other modders who might read this, it looks like you folks have done a great job so far. :up:

Cheers.

Sorry if this has been discussed, but this thread is freaking long :D

This has lots of mods added to it. This does not add all of his other mods. I do know some are added though. His popular FX and IRAI are not added to this yet. His UI mod is added but its an old version of it. You will want to add the latest version of TDW_UIs after MO. Take a look at my mod list in my signature for an example. :up:

...should I be looking for other mods as well?

Welcome to the forum Phil, :salute:

The TDW has created lots of other mods as well that can be added and many other mods of your taste can be added -
Not all are compatible with The MO/New UIs_TDC so to get most out of them read the documentation for each of them closely.
If you'd like a few recommendations I'd say;

- Dynamic Environment by stoianm and gap. Here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=182377&highlight=Dynamic+environment (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=182377&highlight=Dynamic+environment)

Hello everyone! Thanks a ton for this mega mod, it's brought me back from SH5 after having initially given up over its poor performance at release.

I have a few questions though. Keep in mind I am relatively new to SH5 as a whole. I have it patched to 1.2 and the game runs smoothly with mods installed. However;

1. How do I patch the mod properly? I took the files in the megamod folders and overwrote them, but the other files I just threw into the MODS folder. Do I need to activate them? should I?
2. Is there any way to turn off the XO from constantly asking me if I want to turn on TDC every time I find a target?
3. Is there anything I can do about the instability with regards to teleporting around the ship? Or is that just a necessity given the nature of the mod. It seems like Ill randomly appear above the ship while its under water, among other strange bugs.
4. How do order my men to work the guns/anti-air? This may be more of a general SH5 question :p
5. Whats the purpose of the tutorial option in the main menu, where it lists a bunch of mods?

Thanks guys!

hey guys,

Were the files taken down from the download site? According to gamefront it was

[Jaeger]

TDW,

you made a lot of extra programms to control your mods (validator, optionsfile migrator, option selecter, exe file changer). i think it would be easier to use if you migrate all these little programms into one powerful control center like sh3 commander. one tool, all the power of changing and checking your TDW mods. what do you think about that?

Yup, after reinstalling SH5 I was about to test this nice mod pack (as it uses many of the mod I like), but as I can't download it...

So guys any news on the latest Magnum Opus version to be released? I've had sh5 uninstalled and sitting on the shelf collecting dust awaiting the release of the updated organised mod "magnum opus"

Not being an impatient person or anything, just would like an estimation if possible thats all...:06:

Thanks!

Hi,

The only one who can answer this is TDW, the wizard himself.

Uninstalled? Why?
Are you having some problems running the MO or why are you waiting for an update?
If so - have you tried a fresh unzip of the MO?

Or run SH5 without the MO but with the New UIs TDC 6.8.0.

:hmmm:

Yeah hopefully TDW lets us know soon then..no hurry though. As for your question about why i have it uninstalled (well just stopped playing it all together) its just theres too many good mods that all have to be properly installed one after another in perfect order or risk something going wrong and causing endless CTDs which just kills the sim for me...so im just being patient until TDW puts all these mods into one big install so i wont have the headache of mod soup configuration etc..the good thing about this game its not like theres going to be a silent hunter 6 and this one just keeps getting better and better so im sure when i come back to it again it'll be like a new sim all over again! :D

[visola]

Heyoo, new member here! First I have to say I enjoy MO very much and I'm waiting anxiously for the new update. At the moment I'm wondering if it's possible to use Open Horizons campaign mod with MO? Can I just install them both or will they conflict?

I wish that there would be also this really basic "megamod" which would include only the finest, most updated and finished gameplay changing mods: NewUi's, IRAI, FX update, More Crew commands, and Mighty Fine Crew mod, R.E.M., for example.) There could be three useroptions already edited for different UI styles. Already with this pack, you would be ready to try the game. Campaign and graphical mods would be installed separately.

My complaint with MO was that it changed too much things, and it was a pain to try to get back some of the default things I liked (I even like the eye patch!). This kind of modpack could with few patches even form into a kind of un-official patch 1.3., and become a base for all the new mods. And it would attract new gamers and new modders to SH 5 which is crucial to the future of the game, I think. The game is already fun and exciting but I can understand the frustration that new players will face with all the mods.

[Snacko]

I installed this mod with the patch the other day and enabled it when I was in port on my campaign. But in my Campaign or even in just a Historical mission I just get 1 FPS... :hmmm:

So, I downloaded it again and just tried the first version 1 of the mod, without the patch. I though I might have installed the MODS patch incorrectly since there are no instructions. But even with just v1 only, I get 1 fps.

Are there any known mods that cause this problem? One that I could just remove. Even with just 1 fps I could see that the graphics look much better with this mod, but unplayable.. :damn:

[NipplesTheCat]

I also installed this mod (awesome BTW) but now im having some CTD problems. I think I did it right. I put the magnum opus folder in the sh5\mods folder (same with the patch folder) and activated them both. Mod then patch. It crashes all the time now. Its so bad when I start a new campaign it crashes shortly after I sink the first ship. Also my radio man still has blank dialogue. Shouldnt that be fixed with the patch? Im wondering if I didnt do something wrong.

Oh yeah patched in port saved in bunker and reloaded too.

[Snacko]

I don't see a readme with these downloads, but there is a text folder and I think that has a lot of speech text for something... not sure what, but maybe that is supposed to fix that issue?

I haven't been able to get more than 1 fps with this mod, so I cannot test it. I normally get about 65 fps without any mods... :hmmm:

Hi Snacko and NipplesTheCat,
I can reccomend you to do the following steps:

1. Delete the game and all its traces from PC, reinstall the game

2. In 'support' folder you'll find 'gu'-folder (game updater). Launch it and the game should be patched to v.1.2 automatically. It is not a quick process so just follow all the instructions. The patch is installed when the activation window will appear (account name + passport).

3. Play the tutorial without any mods installed, you'll be autosaved in bunker, exit to Windows, install JSGME into Ubisoft/Silent Hunt 5/

4. Study thoroughly video tutorial by STOIANM, where all the information re. MO and few more important mods usaged explained perfectly. The link is here
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1629509&postcount=27

5. Install mods as recommended in this videotutorial
NOTE:
a) Some mods mentioned by stoianm (NewUI, IRAI, FX_Update) already have new versions, which could be found on this forums in the first posts of the threads
b) d3d Antilag is applied not via JSGME, but with copying the .dll, .cfg files to the game directory Ubisoft/Silent Hunt 5/

6. Load the saved in bunker game, resave it one more time, exit to Windows and then load again, and everything should work perfect (if you done all the steps properly):up:

[Snacko]

Roger, Thanks! :up:

PS:
After installing v0.0.1 of this into the MODS folder, are you then supposed to just copy the Patch over top of the v0.0.1 files in the MODS folder and overwrite them?

[vlad29]

Just have a look at stoianm videotutorial, and you'll find all the answers there:salute:

[NipplesTheCat]

Disregard my last post. The problem was that I was patching it wrong. Putting the patch folder in the mods folder and activating it. Im wondering how many of the problems people are having are actually user error. Anyway...awesome results. Great work to everyone who added something to the effort. My only 2 suggestion are instructions at the top of this thread written in big clear crayola crayons for us "challenged" users and maybe an installer like GWX to take all of the guesswork out of the install. Not all of us are so good with computers. For example, I ruined my last computer with piping hot gravy if that gives you any idea. If I can do that, I can screw up a mod install quicker than you can say "what happened?"

[Silent Steel]

b) d3d Antilag is applied not via JSGME, but with copying the .dll, .cgg files to the game directory Ubisoft/Silent Hunt 5/


.cfg you mean, right?

[vlad29]

.cfg you mean, right?

Yes, .cfg ofcourse. Thanks for metioning the mistake, Silent Steel, it is fixed by now:salute:

GameFront.com has had bugs all day. I see a blank white area in the middle of the screen where downloads normally should be. This happens on both my laptop and desktop, so I can't get any mods there right now..

I got all that last week. Right now I am trying to get the: NewUIs with TDC for SH5 by TheDarkWraith version 6.8.0

[soopaman2]

I just have to thank you The Dark Wraith for all work on this game.

Ubisoft should hire you. I recall another game (Medieval total war 2) having its AI tweaked by a modder. Said modder was hired and did the AI for later games.

You FIXED this game, and not just this mod.

[Snacko]

Totally agree!!

BTW, I got GameFront working. It was my Ad Blocker plugin in FireFox. It didn't block it last week, but they must have move some ads into the download html or something that caused it to be hidden.. My Bad..
