[REL] Open Horizons II (old thread)

[Rongel]

Sadly, for some personal reasons I cant continue my activity here anymore. I gave Trevally full right on all my work and also on my account.. so he can manage the files and do whatever is needed to be done.
Rongel and Sober, please keep the contact with Trevally from now on.

Thanks everybody involved and helping on this big project and I wish you all good luck and have fun! :salute:

So sorry to hear that, but thanks for all your work and the countless hours you put to this game. I hope that everyhting is okay, and maybe some day you'll come back. I'll finish my work and be in contact with Trevally from now on.

Thanks again :salute:

Thanks Sober:yeah:

Hi Trevally !

Looks nice, but is it not possible, to integrate the wonderful Harbour MOD from HanSolo to OHII, here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166104

Or maybe as an available Part 5 ? Please think about it Trevally ! :yep:

Hi Magic,

I too like HanSolo's mod and the key parts could be added with a bit of work.
I am thinking I may release the first proper version of OH II tonight.
I then plan to take a short break from modding and play the game for a while:D

I would be willing to make a version after that or help Han to make one:up:

[mia389]

I am in Happy Times and I completed the sinking of 40,000 tons. Nothing happened when I got back to base. I could not select on a new mission so I just went out without selecting one. Is this right? Do I have to wait for the deadline date to move on to the next "campaign"? I am using OHII Light.

[shegeek72]

Sorry if this has already been answered, but is this mod compatible with MO?

Thanks Sober:yeah:

The sandbar has been overlooked in the revision Sober safe.
In addition, the entire port is too high in the terrain.
The exact location and amount of Kiel.GR2 file is adjusted on the MapsObject.ini.
It is located in terrain / locations / CostomAreas.

[THE_MASK]

I just added sandbanks for danger bouys . thfeu58 is the person who has done all the great work on the harbors . What would be nice is thfeu mod included in campaign with some sandbanks for danger bouys .

[thfeu58]

Understand, you have intentionally added to sandbars.

The next objective will kick in with a date trigger.

Thanks Trevally! When I get to next campaign I plan on trying OHII again and get off this OHII light.

wait for the new release Mia. It has more options:-

Open Horizons II (base)
This is just the base mod. It has no environmental or ship units. This does have all the other extras (convoys, wolfpacks etc)

Open Horizons II (enviro)
Install this over the base mod to add environmental units.
Mines are now in groups of 50 rather than hunders for better fps

Open Horizons II (New Ships)
Install this over the base mod to add new ship units
harbour ships are reduces for better fps

There will also be a Full version with the 3 above parts together.

The base mod will be better than light and not too bad for the FPS.

Hi Magic!

As I said.. I will make an OHII version if the final and bugfixed version is available. You have to calm down a bit... I understand that you want to play Sh5 with every new mod available and all these improvements but some things need time.
If OHII final is availabe I will make new version of my mod.

Ah I'll wait for Sober's canal too then in that case!

Might test out the Full campaign again while I wait, did you reduce the harbour traffic/mines/etc in Full in the end Trevally, or is it the same as the beta release?

Actually.. one question.. I tested the first campaign but didn't have the usual sonar upgrade at the start (from the side angled one to the first all-round one). Was something changed to remove it?

No Orpheus - OH II will not change anything on your boat:up:

[0rpheus]

That's what I figured.. wonder why the first all round sonar (I forget the name) isn't appearing as an upgrade option.. this is a fresh restart of course, but when I started OHII light ages ago the option to upgrade it appeared from the very start.

Better take a look at my mod list I suppose, though it's the same as before, just with OHII swapped out. :hmmm:

EDIT: Think I've figured it out, the KDB is set to become available 01/11/1939 and the first campaign starts in September.. was the campaign start date changed by any chance? :D

I will release as an add-on.
This way people can use the new terrain mod or not.
It will work will OH II full and Base + enviro/new ships
Install after OH II
The fixes are mostly for the traffic to navigate the new gates.
There are some other small fixes to missions, but nothing important (spelling etc).

I would have added it to the main OH II download, but it pushed me over the upload limit.

I am getting on great with my run through of the campaign.

But - when I have any of the new ships in the game view - my graphics card is starting to run hot (79C) and fans kick up to 100%:hmmm:

I also had a ctd whilst attacking with deck gun.
I am not sure what is causing this - I remember a post about compressed images for new ships making more work for the graphics card:hmmm:

I have also just tested a mission with no new ships and my card runs at normal temp for games.

Which are the new ships? I'll keep an eye out and see if my GPU does the same.

I don't think I've had a CTD with the new campaign. I'm getting an outrageous amount of tonnage in the first campaign, came across two unescorted convoys and went powering in with the deck gun. :D Second time came out with 53% hull (just now actually), convoy had a couple of armed merchants... :oops: dropped them sharpish but not before the first landed landed two lucky hits.

Also had the scariest Scapa Flow experience of any of the versions - I'm running Full now with the extra traffic. Light fog, 4am or so and I take my shots from as far away as possible, then power out at flank on the surface hoping to use the fog to my advantage. I'm out of the first main Southern pipe and heading for the deep water further Southeast, with one DD to my port side and a fishing boat to my starboard. The fishing boat got too close and must've alerted the DD as the searchlight suddenyl insta-locked me thousands of yards out of his vision zone. I dive to periscope and run at mid for a few minutes as the DD just sits there, then before I know it another 3 DDs have come out of the Southern entrance and are literally right on top of me - no rear sonar til November so I have the blind spot front and back!

Frantically call for silent running and they circle over me for three hours, actually scraping the conning tower at one point and setting the boat rolling from side to side... but no hull damage, just a scratch or two to the radio. But not a single DC, not one...! After maybe 4 hrs it's light and they've stopped dead, still pinging in a line formation and I bug the hell out slow & quiet like and change my trousers!

And the best bit... on my way out, 60km maybe from Scapa in the early evening and a Battleship, escorted by 6 DDs hoves into view. The air & waves are crystal clear, low moon and I give it a slow 4 torp spread, magnetic off and flank like hell away & North. Couple of mins later, the Battleship takes 3 out of 4 and goes down, while I'm far North and well clear of pursuit. :D:rock:

It's not all good though. I didn't pay attention to the date just now, and 100km out from Kiel I get the 'base moved to Wilhelmshaven' message! :damn: :har:

Temp. of 79C is not critical for NVIDIA. I run GTX 260 from PALLIT (not the best choice up to date), most time I have 76-80C even without additional ships. For the safety of video I also use Anilag at 35FPS limit and MSI Ub-r utility:salute:.

I ran into something small tonight. I am not sure if its fixable or just the AI doing their thing. I ran into a taskforce and was detected quickly. The cruisers were running over the escorts trying to DC me lol. Its going to be a long night/morning. First picture is date/time/location.

Think it's just too many ships and poor collision detection. I saw loads of it in my last run through the Mediterranean campaigns - at one point, due to other passing convoys being called in to hunt me (at least I assume that's what was happening) I had over 30 warships overhead trying to DC me. They must have destroyed at least 15 ships by collision before I managed to get out. One actually landed on my boat as I sat still hoping to lose them (only reload in that campaign lol)!

Had a thought re minefields.... shouldn't friendly ones be marked (roughly) so we know where they are? It's a pain in the arse having to mark & remark the ones near Wilhelmshaven or risk ploughing into them on the way out (you lose the markers every time you end patrol) and shouldn't Uboat captains have info on friendly minefield locations?

Could put a little grey circle on the map or something for German-laid mines.. obviously not for enemy ones as we should be at risk of blundering into one!

Just a thought :D

Yes good ideas 0rpheus.
Im sure u-boats would also share and update reports for location of enemy mines too. So perhaps some could be left out from the map.

One problem however - I have no idea how to change the map in SH5 - its a minefield in there :O:

A possible workaround could be marked areas for TDWs shipping lane pull out map:hmmm:

Yes we could update Reaper7's shipping map that I have included in the mod or we could make a new map just dedicated to showing locations of subnets and minefields. I could then add this new map to the mod. Thoughts :06:

@All

TDW has sent me updates to make the mines/nets spottable or not:up:
With this you can then choose the option you want in the form of an addon. (it will be easy to switch)

This will result however in the remaking of all campaign enviromantal layers. I will start on this tonight. Its not a big task:DL

The problem is that for the new layer to take effect - career restart will be required.
Im sure everyone is getting fed up having to re-start every few days - sorry about this but any change in the campaign files require it.

The best i can do is give information as to what will change and you can then either update for that change or not.:up:

@0rpheus

Your list looks fine:up:

Just when I think that everything is now finished - some errors are found.
The new defside is a good example.

TDW is making an app that I am testing. It scans the SH5 files looking for errors. This is how the errors in the defside were found.

Today - more are found:wah:
TDW has not yet finished his app. When it is finished and I am sure that there are no more errors I will post an updated version or a second patch.

[0rpheus]

Haha fair enough :D Thanks tho, thought my list was ok.

Checked out the AOTD/Mad Max ship (there is only one with that name, right?) in the museum just now and it looks fine, no black textures.. oh well lol. :hmmm: They kinda glow green at long distance as well.. really odd. Don't see why it would be black in the mission and fine in the museum.

I'll carry on with the current setup for now unless someone can think of what might be causing the texture problem. :O: Do I need the defside campaign fix from a few posts back?

@0rpheus

Your list looks fine:up:

Just when I think that everything is now finished - some errors are found.
The new defside is a good example.

TDW is making an app that I am testing. It scans the SH5 files looking for errors. This is how the errors in the defside were found.

Today - more are found:wah:
TDW has not yet finished his app. When it is finished and I am sure that there are no more errors I will post an updated version or a second patch.
please make post an updated version and a second patch

Hi,

I've just returned to SH5 and have downloaded you OH11 on top of MO and some other mods.

I did'nt get a OH11 loading screen, but there is a slot for a 1944 campaign in the start menu. I cant seem to find how to avoid the dam tutorial!!!

In SH5 / data / CFG, there is no file called "Career history" ??

There is an App being made by TDW that can check the structure of SH5 files.
It is not finished yet.
With each update he sends me - there is a chance I will find more errors.
I will wait until the whole campaign can be checked before I update.
Im sure it will be in the next few days, but the app may find something big wrong.
If that happens - it could take longer.

Thanks alot, i'll try it now.:salute:

Unfortuantely it CTD when trying to load my campaign!...it worked if i start anew campaign, but all my User settings in MO have gone back to default!

[mia389]

Sorry, I should have said it would give you CTD while in patrol. If you try to load a saved in patrol it would of given ya CTD. That shouldnt have changed any of your useroptions. Make sure you are installing TDW UIs after MO. Then you change your options in TDW UIs not MO.

Dodgy guns:

The Black Ship (lol).. AOTD Mad Max/Stormfly Medium Passenger (I think), also with dodgy guns and all over black, no textures.

This is with the ship textures patch so not sure if something's gone wrong there!

:salute:


Ok narrowed this down a bit more - if I remove 'OHII full patch1' the Medium passenger texture goes back to normal. :hmmm:

Anyone else getting this?

One more bug for the first 'Coastal Waters' campaign:

After completing (successfully) the first three missions (for total of four stars I think) and progressing into Operation Weserubung, OW gives three stars when complete, not four - this would leave one campaign star unfilled.

I've also noticed that the mission briefing says 'sink any ship en route to narvik' & 'any british ship in Narvik waters', but upon sinking one or two I have tonnage bars progressing... with no mention of the tonnage needed to beat it.

Good luck with patch 2 Trevally, hopefully it'll nail that texture problem. :yeah:

[DoveEgg]

I've also noticed that the mission briefing says 'sink any ship en route to narvik' & 'any british ship in Narvik waters', but upon sinking one or two I have tonnage bars progressing... with no mention of the tonnage needed to beat it.

I had the same problem with the mission description. You need to sink 5 ships to fill the "tonnage bar". I posted about this weeks ago. Trevally said he would consider adjusting it on the next release.

This isn't a bug which bricks this otherwise excellent mod, but it causes some confusion and could be a real issue if you head over to Norway with only a couple of torpedos, because this mission is only a week long and there's no time to go to Germany to refit your boat. I'd hate to have to sink five ships with only my deck gun!

Hi, having returned to SH5 and loaded MO / OH11 / Dynamic environment / UI's / IRAI. and a few other smaller sound mods etc....its hard to know which thread to put my comments in as im not sure which mod is contributing to what!! anyway.

My first confusion when installing the OH11 (Full) version, was i was confronted with three options...i think it was Light / normal / realistic. Not knowing the difference i installed realistic, i hope this is the full fat version with all the extras!

Im blown away by the difference from my last outing with SH5, just leaving the port i was hearing and seeing buoy's (what do they mark and what do the different colours mean?), seeing German aircraft fly over...which sounded nice (as in the sound slowly got louder, rather than nothing then everything), and i've already ran into some new ships.

I have to say, im impressed with the Ship ID manual aswell, and it has great reading to wille away those inactive hours on the boat "great touch" and a marked improvement over the original.

I play alot in real time, so my observations are slow, but i do have a couple of issues.....

1. I've come up against a couple of British fishing boats. My sonarman can hear them, but they make no report on the hydrophone....i'd hate to come up right next to one unknown and he report my postion!

2.After getting near Britian, i dont seem to be getting any Radio messages??? but i do get contact reports??, i went for 2 days without any radio messages then only one on the third. Its not a problem as long as its not a game issue.

3.Not sure this is OH11 related, but why does the BDU insist on sending me contact reports of convoys 3000miles away in north Africa, a bit pointless.

4. I came up against a liner and was rubbing my hands together at such a early first patrol prize, that was until at the last minute i realised it was one of the new hospidal ships!!!....can these be given a big Red cross on them and have lights on!

5.Just a couple of odd questions. What does the reports "Report nearest Radio contact" and "report weather" do??? the first seems to have no effect and the second is behond my understanding!!

Otherwise, im loving the progrress with the sim...its turning out to be what it should have been...one day someone will fix the Sonarman too!!;)

Thanks

Have you patched your exe? If your running TDWs UI he has included a sh5.exe patcher. Its found here C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Appli cations\SH5 EXE Patcher. More info on it here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433).

Not sure on this one. If using MO make sure you have latest UIs, found here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1332669&postcount=1). Latest version is 6.7.0 You can adjust what messages you receieve.

3.Not sure this is OH11 related, but why does the BDU insist on sending me contact reports of convoys 3000miles away in north Africa, a bit pointless. Again you can change this settings with TDW UIs. See the picture above your post. The 250 in top right is the range I receive contact reports. I will not receive any that are farther than 250km.

4. I came up against a liner and was rubbing my hands together at such a early first patrol prize, that was until at the last minute i realised it was one of the new hospidal ships!!!....can these be given a big Red cross on them and have lights on!
I would of sunk it anway :haha:

5.Just a couple of odd questions. What does the reports "Report nearest Radio contact" and "report weather" do??? the first seems to have no effect and the second is behond my understanding!!
I only use report weather. It gives you weather report :D

Otherwise, im loving the progrress with the sim...its turning out to be what it should have been...one day someone will fix the Sonarman too!!;)

Be sure to customize your TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py found here.

Mod must be disabled when you edit this file. When next version comes out, he has an application found in same folder as sh5.exe patcher above so you dont have to edit the file again. That app is called Options Migrater.

Im blown away by the difference from my last outing with SH5, just leaving the port i was hearing and seeing buoy's (what do they mark and what do the different colours mean?)

The location of lateral buoys defines the borders of channels and indicates the direction. Under IALA A red buoys mark the port side of the channel when returning from sea, whereas under IALA B green buoys mark the port side of the channel when sailing towards land. Red buoys have even numbers and red lights; green buoys have odd numbers and green lights. Lateral lights can have any calm phase characteristic except FL (2+1).

Yes - that has been reported before. Sorry ive not looked into it yet

2.After getting near Britian, i dont seem to be getting any Radio messages??? but i do get contact reports??, i went for 2 days without any radio messages then only one on the third. Its not a problem as long as its not a game issue.

Try downloading the campaign radio http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=185397

The gap in messages will just be your options.py settings. As default they are set to only get 50%. So you could go a day or two and not get any.
Also some messages are set to repeat if you miss them (under water) and some are not. So a ship sinking message will only be sent once and there is only a 50% chance you will see it.

3.Not sure this is OH11 related, but why does the BDU insist on sending me contact reports of convoys 3000miles away in north Africa, a bit pointless.

Look to the top left of your screen when in game.
There are + - buttons to adjust the range you will recieve these.

4. I came up against a liner and was rubbing my hands together at such a early first patrol prize, that was until at the last minute i realised it was one of the new hospidal ships!!!....can these be given a big Red cross on them and have lights on!

Your radio/radar man can detect ships using his radio (their broadcast). These will be reported just like and contact report.

Sometimes you will get a blue radio message. These can ask for patrol report or weather etc. When you send the info there is a chance you will then get a contact report near you in return. This is part of TDWs UI info can be found in post one (update log)

[Poacher886]

Thanks Guy's.

Im still on my first patrol and have recently had a batch of radio reports (events) so this is fine by me and probably realistic.
Thanks for the info on the buoys.

I always have my radio range set to the minimum 250km but still always get reports on what is happening in Italy?, its not a big problem.

Your screen shot of the hospidal ship is the very ship i was looking at through my cross hair.....it did not have the paint job though!!! are you telling me only the ones with the big red cross slapped on the side are valid Hospidal ships?? and i've just let a big prize sail away from me??

It would be good in the sim, that if you sink a non-combaten either neutral or Hospidal ship etc, then you loose all renown as a penalty.

Im familiar with UI's / MO option file and will take another look at message frequency's.

Here's my real big problem though!!!!

Since on patrol i've encountered about 10 merchants, no warships yet. apart from Two British Steamers which i sunk without issue, they have ALL been the new ships. This is fine as long i im not experiencing a glitch.

Whats more concerning is im not hearing any through the Hydrophone!!!

At first i thought it was just fishing boats that did'nt make a sound, then i encountered a couple of merchants which were silent...i used the external cam to see what was happening and they were neutrals.

Later i encountered the same again, two neutrals making no hydrophone sound, though there engines were fine underwater when using the cam. I figured that the sound had been removed from friendly and neutral ships to avoid sending you on a goose chase....i was going voice my opinion against such a rule.

But i have just encountered the same again at night, two merchants making no hydro sound. But this time they were British ships!!!!! both of new design!!

The only ships i have heard sound from were the two british steamers that i sunk. This makes me concered there is an issue with the new ships.

The problem of 'zombie' ship's rolling, sticking up and taking casualties in ports (at least in Kiel harbor) still exists:-? It was discussed before in OHII-support thread if I'm not mistaking.
Are there any ways to fix it (may be just to 'park' the 'naughty' vessels near the pier), or we have nothing to do than just to turn away and have a look at other sights enjoying the landscape:)?

Hello people. I'm kinda new to forum business (any kind of forum) and i am really sorry if i waste somebody's time here, but i must say that i've been watching this comunity for a couple of months now and i am really surprised by the dedication and passion you guys show.
You've turned me into a bit of a mod freak now and i mean that in the best possible way. I know this isn't the place for sweettalknig so i'll get to the point. I have been looking forward to OH II, previously Das Campaign, and for the last month i've been on vacation only to return and find it finished and, from what i can read on the forum, very promising. The only problem i have is that i can't dowload it because i've been staying on "periscope depth" all this time and the rules forbid me from downloading stuff until i post smth. Anyway it seemed like a good idea for my first post, rather than presenting myself to the comunnity, to congratulate the great, amazing work of TDW, Trevally, Zedi, Stoianm (his tuts got me to play and love this game), Obelix, Sober and i'm sure many more...
Sorry for the long post hope i get the hang of forum talks and such. As soon as i can download OH II i'll post some feed-back until then, good hunting everybody!

If you were playing a campaign near the coast then this is ok.
We added new unit types to the campaign engine that can pull in the type of ship we want.
As most of the stock ships had a large tonnage we asked for smaller coastal ships from the ship importing guys and they produced some great ships.
So if you are near the coast then the game is pulling in coastal ships:up:

Whats more concerning is im not hearing any through the Hydrophone!!!

I remember having this problem before. I was not hearing the ships even when I was in external view. I think my problem was the order I had my mods. What is the order of your mods? You should definitely be hearing them.

Sorry i still have not tested this. If anyone can hear the new ships on hydro please confirm with us:up:

There used to be an issue with the hydro that ment that if a ship was going at less than 75% speed - no hydro noise could be heard.

I think TDWs IRAI mod reduced this to 25%
So it is possible to see a ship and not hear it.

Not sure what causes this. I noticed it also myself when testing the RedCross ship the other day.

Perhaps TDW could confirm but it looks like a save/reload bug

Anyway it seemed like a good idea for my first post, rather than presenting myself to the comunnity, to congratulate the great, amazing work of TDW, Trevally, Zedi, Stoianm (his tuts got me to play and love this game), Obelix, Sober and i'm sure many more...
Sorry for the long post hope i get the hang of forum talks and such. As soon as i can download OH II i'll post some feed-back until then, good hunting everybody!

Hi BlackSeaCpt and welcome aboard:salute:

Have a go at using Silentotto so you can play any campaign.

I will be making a new version very soon that will change the mines/nets so that they can't be heard on the hydro. (there will be an option to keep them as is for some people:up:)

So this will require a career restart as always:O:

Try that first. If that doesn't work try to remove PE_More_Crew. I dont think that its compatible with newest version of UI. I know for sure its not with the up coming version.

The mod list above I made IRAI first then FX then UIs
Can also check my mod list in my sig. I use lots of the same mods.

Please help. Thanks

You are having problems due to the sound controlling file (sh.sdl) being over written.
You can fix this by using TDWs sound editor to merge these together.

The easy way to fix is to install OH II last. It has most sound sh.sdl already merged:up:

[mia389]

Sorry i still have not tested this. If anyone can hear the new ships on hydro please confirm with us:up:


I have a few of the new vessels in a custom mission and I hear all of them.

[Poacher886]

Thank you Gents.

I will try to install OH11 last....first if you get my meaning.

As for PE_More_crew, i've not been playing with this....i just literly installed it 10min ago to see if it worked....it did!

Thanks, i'll let you know.

When I attempt to do the Breaking the Fortress Mission right before my torpedos impact into the capital ship my game just quits to desktop. No slow downs, no hicups it just stops I have a save point right before I fire torpedos... everything is fine until the first torpedo 'hits' no explosion the game just quits.

I've re-installed OH11 last, entered my campaign and fast forwarded to my first contact just to check....it was a warship (i did'nt see it) but submerged and could hear it through the Hydrophone!!!:D

So far so good! i will need to test further ref: new ships and others, but at least i have a working hydrophone.

Thanks for you help guy's, one question, OH11 is now last, will it overwrite the very apt mod "Dynamic Environment" ,?

Thanks again

Yes - but im sure Stoianm's and Gaps Sh.sdl are merged into the OH II one so it will be ok

[Jester_UK]

Not sure if this has been asked bafore, but I've noticed that sinking the new ships don't register in TDW's UI mod (ver 6.070). No ship destroyed message is received and no destroyed mark is generated. The sinkings do register properly in the vanilla captain's log however.

Is there any way to get the new ships recognised by TDW's UI mod?

[Drewcifer]

I didn't do the suggested method, instead while waiting for a reply I decided to just try all sorts of frustrated crazy stuff... heres what I did and it worked.

Previously attacking the capital ship ctd... So I just cruised into Scapa flow and put torpedos into the nearest escorts.. after attacking but not sinking several 'moving' vessels I then targeted the Capital ship, put a spread of three into her side and down she went. I saved the game and headed for deep water.

[Poacher886]

Guy's, unfortunately, my Hydrophone is still not working. I've been on patrol all night (play alot of real time), and i've just had a ship spotted 46º@ 10200m.
Because the wind is 15 strengh and its raining with medium fog, (and im off the coast of Britian in a depth of only approx 60m), i decided to dive and find out if its one to avoid.

As soon as i hit 20m i asked my sonarman to clarify and he did as a merchant. I decided to listen myself to test, and there is no sound? thinking the rough weather might effect, i took it down to 50m but there is still no sound?

I did'nt really want to go and identify with the external cam as its spoiling the sim, so i cant say if its a new or old ship design, but it does show there is something wrong!

Strange how i heard a war ship no probs when first testing??...

any ideas.
Thanks, its time for the sack!

Mine does the samething... I'm not really certain how often its doing it but it appears some ships I can hear, others I can't. I myself rarely ever run the hydrophone though... so I'm not really sure just how bad the problem is since I've done hardly any testing.

[mia389]

The ships below I have no sound on. Not sure if they are new ones or not. I hear them in external view when going up to them, just not on hydrophone.

I will try tomorrow on the pt boat and get back to ya.

It seems that we need a new "Imported ships"-patch... :D

There are many things that we can't fix right now (frozen flag-bug, no reflections in the water) but this seems to be pretty straight forward issue that can be corrected. I could help in this when I have more spare time, maybe after couple of weeks...

And if I'm right, a new imported ships-patch wouldn't make you restart your campaign.

[Sgtmonkeynads]

I have sounds on my pts. The flag doesnt flap, but you can hear the engine rev and stuff.

Nobody told me they had the ability to launch torps now. i was stitting there watching one come in on me thinking " OH COOL...a P.T. Boat, right on man.:rock:" Then this little red thing appeared on my tai. i thought " Huh, must be a glitch or something."

I literally watched this thing come in and did not know what it was till I saw the wake of the torpedo. " CRASH DIVE!!!!"

I watched it in the expternal cam, just missing the top of my conning tower as i dove below.

AWESOME ! Just wish i had fraps going.

nice event ! ...say did the torp made a sound in external cam, is it hearable using the hydrophone ?

i konw there are watch crew sounds like "incommong torpedo" or "torpedo spotted" but it seams the devs couldnt implement the trigger for it.

[mia389]

I am also having hydrophone issues. This (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ftf4gvbkdgidwmd/Hydro_Test.rar) test mission I can not hear any of these 4 ships. Install via JSGME and tell me if you can hear them.

[0rpheus]

Pretty sure I've been seeing this problem as well, come across one or two smaller convoys of two vessels but only detected one on sonar.

Fingers crossed for a patch :)

[mia389]

I know my hydophones were working because I used them all the time. Something definitely broke them.

[mia389]

Ok I reinstalled all my mods and my hydrophone is working again :ping:. Its not on the new ships though. In my mission above I only hear the warship was is not a new ship. I only hear it when it speeds up. You wont hear it from the beginning but when you go flak you will alert him. Other 3 merchants I never heard at all. Even after getting them to speed up.

Yes - but only if you want to upgrade.
The main reason for the new version was to bring back the silent mines.

So stay with your current version if you are happy with it.:yep:

For me - I did not like the mines being spottable so I am now using v1.2:up:

[Magic1111]

Yes - v1.2 has chanded all the mines and nets so you will not hear them.
I added an add-on that will allow them to be heard if you want.

What happened was TDW had remade his mines so that they could become spottable with the add-on. This was great as it gave poeple the choice as to what type to use. Thanks TDW:salute:

This required a campaign layer upgrade that can only take effect with a re-start. So this is why I made a full version release.

Anyone not bothered about the mines can stay with their current version.

Hmm, so I assume now only the watch crew will see them (probably at quite close range lol)?


EDIT: Also just ragequit Operation Weserubung for about the fifth time. I've sat in the tightest part of the Narvik entryway for the entire ten days on multiple occasions and seen virtually no traffic, bar the occasional green freighter and a British battlegroup or two at the very end of the period. I think the most I've ever managed has been 3 out of 5 enemy ships, and only got the 'sink any british ship' once after saying f*ck it and heading down the Norwegian coast towards April 9th ish and running into a random solo small freighter.

I even went right into the harbour around the 7th/8th/9th or so and there are no ships there at all. I don't mind having a short timeframe for completion but if there's barely any traffic heading to Narvik during those 10 days it makes it almost impossible. :( And no Allied ships in harbour? I expected to get horribly murdered making it through the shallows, let alone making it all the way to the port to find it empty! There's no chance of refueling if you get there too late, and god help you if you head up there when you get the radio message, about 7 days before the op starts - as you'll be low on fuel/torps and on your way home by the time the mission starts with very little time to get back to the mission area.

Can I suggest making the time period longer and populating Narvik and the entry fjord with more traffic so we actually have a chance to complete this? Or altering the objectives so it's one ship, not five (like the mission says)! Bit sick of banging my head against the wall on this one! LOL :D

Im pretty certain that twice when i spotted, but could'nt hear the ships on Hydrophine i used external cam, and it was definately these two. Its also the fishing boats you cant here, so i would presume all new ships to be suspect.
I did however hear a warship.

P.S. One thing i forgot to mention was last night when i was trying to listen for a known ship, i had a shock to tune into what can only be described as and "Radio underwater"!!!
It was slightly muffled and broken, but sounded like someone was tuning a radio underwater from a distance???? weird.

Having not read this entire thread, im not familiar with the mines and nets aspect, im using V1.1. Are you saying that there are mines and nets in the sim, and both are spottable and hearable?

Also, will minefields appear on the map at any stage (from intelligence)?

Thanks

[THE_MASK]

I am pretty sure i was hearing the new ships . Vanilla settings has the players submarine cfg files for the hydrophone as
Hydrophone uses crew efficiency=true
I use IRAI and it has
Hydrophone uses crew efficiency=false
So i changed it back to
Hydrophone uses crew efficiency=true

I dont have SH5 installed atm because my harddrive broke . Waiting to buy another one sometime .

another thing , i was using REM and upgraded the hydrophone to the rotating one but pretty sure i couldnt hear contacts when ships were to the side of my sub . only front or rear .

[mia389]

I am having one other problem with this new ship. Every time I sink it my games stops responding. Its when the flare would be shot and you get the message my game just freezes. I thought it might of been my real sink mod so I disabled it and it still happens. I also disabled the red flare but that didn't work either.

There was not time to even think about that stuff. All I heard was ALARM!!!

This kind of stuff is what makes the game for me though.
I'm just waiting for someone to script in an air raid when your just returning to base and got to make a dash for the bunker...hmmm...like in that one movie....:hmmm:

CTDs can be caused by a lot of things, memory and mod conflict will count for most.

If anyone is having trouble with the ships - you should go with the base+enviro option:yep:

The campaign will work just as well as with full. All the new traffic and extras will still work.
Where the campaign pulls in ships for things like coastal - there are coastal ships in the stock game and they will show fine.
Atlantic convoys etc - will also be pulled from stock ships.
We know for sure that the stock ships look very good and work as they should with no ctds when attacked and can be heard on hydro.:up:

Uhh.. yeah. It's the mod conflict option I was suggesting might be worth investigating. As Magnum Opus already has these new ships, or at least some new ships, isn't it possible/likely that the new fixes etc for the new ships in OHII are conflicting with the older versions in MO and causing the crashes?

TDW would know more (I hope), but as a fair few are reporting ctds when attacking the new vessels, surely it's worth investigating? Same applies to the ships with no sonar etc - I saw one today, one of the ones from the earlier screens discussing the problem and bingo, plenty of sound on external cam but none on Sonar. I know you mentioned you were working on a patch for the sonar issues, but why not investigate the CTDs as well - or the Full version of OHII will gradually become more defunct as more CTD problems are reported. Happy to help however I can. :D

(EDIT: I appreciate you're probably a bit tired of tweaking this mod by now :) But I'm convinced that with 4gig of decent memory, any CTDs I get are not likely to be caused by my PC running out of memory... which leaves the mods... and if we can get the mods working properly it'll benefit everyone. :D)

Hi Jester,

Yes - Zedi is working on making a pull out map to show mine fields:up:
He is also playing through the game (using base and enviro) so he can look for areas where further improvements can be made to the missions.

[Trevally.]

Hi Trevally! Thanks a lot for the patch:yeah:.
We understand Zedi and You have done the great job on this mod and may be little bit tied of fixing all issues coming from reports,

No - all reports are helpful. especially the ones about the campaign.

so may be just to determine and post somewhere the minimal system requirements for the OHII-full when it running stable in order the other guys with "weak" PCstations who have entered the community recently should not even mess with it in vain in order not to be disappointed with CTD's?.

I have no idea what a min spec would be. 64bit OS would be good.
The bugs with the ships will be fixed at some stage, im sure.
Until then people should use base and enviro if they have problems


There is more to this mod than the new ships mod.
Using base + enviro will add the following:-

New campaign missions, flags, new political maps, more countries, coastal traffic, fishing grounds, more wolfpacks, better harbours, another u-boat base, more historical events, new terrain and gates for the canal, subnets, mines and a cool fly over when you leave Kiel:|\\ :D

[0rpheus]

The bugs with the ships will be fixed at some stage, im sure.

Not unless we spend some time trying to figure out the problem, surely? Until then I'll stop recommending people use OHII Full, but this really ought to be looked at more in depth to see if it can be fixed. Full works so well now apart from these new ship issues that it seems a shame to just let it sit broken. :-?

Maybe TDW can help?

He is also playing through the game (using base and enviro) so he can look for areas where further improvements can be made to the missions.


Thanks again. I'm currently running base and new ships and find the mod brilliant.

I did have to remove OM though since I started getting graphics corruption with OH 1,2 and OM loaded together (either a complete corruption or aneon bright lime green wash over the entire screen (with the game visible behind it).

Strangely I tried reverting to OH 1.1 but the problems remained.

I'm wondering now about restarting with OHII full to include the environmental mod as well now that I know removing OM cured my GFX issues, but I'm wondering if my PC may be a little "weak" for the full mod. How do you think it'd run on the following specs?

AMD x2 240 @2.8GHz
2GB DDR2 Corsair RAM
nVidia GTX260 896MB GFX card

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I started with using the base and environment mod and can confirm it being very stable. If I go back to that will I lose my current career? Or will I be able to uninstall OHII full then install Base + Enviroment and load my saved carreer?

edit: This was a stupid question and I can test it in 5mins lol. I will report back with my findings later when I get into game.

edit2: It did work!

Further to the earlier post re conflicts, I've tried uninstalling Magnum Opus (as it has new ships too) to see if anything changes. So far I've been able to replicate the no hydrophone sound on the Hog Island freighter, but as yet haven't seen any gfx glitches on imported ships (lots of one type in the harbour, no issues).

I'll see if anything changes with the CTDs, hunt down an AOTD/MadMax Passenger and report back. Will also test Sober's suggestion re 'hydrophone uses crew efficiency'. :salute:

Thanks to all involved for this mod, you are worthy of greater depths.

Im still on my first patrol off East cost of England, here are my bug findings so far:

1.The much documented hydrophone issue with all new ships i've encounted.

2. All ships i've encountered are new. All but fishing boats and two others out of a total of about 15 ships have been neutral's, seems a bit much for the English coast at wartime.

3. With the exception of fishing boats all seem to be the new version of the small merchant (forget the name), and i've encountered a stuck flag on one of them.

4.With German voice installed (and fixes) when depth charged, "Flooding is under control" is repeated one after the other until over!!

5. Leaks in U-boat persist on venting both leak and sound even after all is fixed.

6.Had a radio message from BDU concerning my U-boat, to sail around England to area 2210 and form a screen....a. Do i continue with my mission or do as the message say's? b. where is sector 2210??


Thats it for the minute, obviously some arn't OH11 related but seeing as alot of mods are being put together, it might help when seeking combatability. I have no doubts when fine tuned this will be a winner!!!

...The hydrophone's the biggest annoyance though!

Thanks for the report Poacher:up:

Hi...

4. this is a vanilla bug but fixed using SDBSM (i exchanged the voice sample with decend water leaks where the crew is on it)

5. right, also a vanilla bug not fixed until now, but loading a saved game after repairs will fix it.

Hi Trevally !

"uekel" from german forum here on subsim reported me an CTD when he use the "zones.cfg" that is in OHII included.

He save the game before he attack an enemy ship with Deckgun and then he continue the attack. After 3-4 hits with deckgun > CTD !

Then he deleted the zones.cfg from OHII and he use the file from TDW´s newest FX_MOD (0.0.19). He loads the last savegame (before attack) and play the attack with deckgun again. No problems anymore ! Ship sunk and he could continue the patrol !

Hope that helps !

Best regards,
Magic

Downloaded this great mod :). I am slightly confused though. When I start a new campaign in 1939 and accepted the mission. I am teleported straight to the sub without loading screen. I did as the readme file suggested and docked at Kiel and accepted the mission again. This time I am getting a loading screen. But I am leaving Kiel now 14 days later. I am just wondering, if this happens only if you start a new career and with the first patrol ?

You did the right thing. Sometimes the first mission of a career is messed up. When starting a new career head to sea without doing anything. And immediately end the patrol. Think of it as a shakedown patrol. The 14 days is the minimum amount of downtime between patrols.

I'd like to know where that 14 day variable is stored so that I could change it to suit my needs. There are times when I'd like to stay in port for several months because I'm out of campaign missions to do.

I agree.

What you can do is save load in the bunker and this will save you the 14 days.

This issue with the loading screen happens when you first start a new campaign or use silentotto

Thanks magic and Uekel:salute:

Yes the zone file has always been a problem for people using this and TDWs FX mod.

OH II v1.2 uses TDWs zone from FXv0.16
There has bee a few changes to the zone in FX 0.19

If anyone uses both these mods - use the zone file from FX0.19

This buggy original game is going to be a pearl.
Thanks to all modders.

Greetings from Germany and good hunting :arrgh!:
