(REQ) Some issues with my mod order?

[robbythesub]

Please could someone comment on my mod order, ie incorrect order etc?

I seem to have weather issues, where sometimes the game shows 15mps winds and yet from the conning tower it is quite calm.
Re starting the game sorts the issue, but i dont think the weather is working properly and stays quite static most of the time.

Also, despite having the German language pack, I get some in English and some in German.

Any comments would be welcome.

Can anyone help with this please? :03:

Hi, robbythesub.

I ask a pardon, what it for mod - MQK_Converter?

[0rpheus]

According to my googling MQK Converter is an out-of-game tool that converts grid refs to lat/long. It's also for SH3 from what I gather...


At first glance Robbythesub, I don't know half the mods you're using. I do see three different versions of FX_Update and I'm pretty sure that's not good.

You're also using several different environmental mods and that's more likely to be the cause of the problem you describe I guess.. Skybanding, Fog for Campaigns, AilClimate zones and Dynamic Environment base mod. If it were me I'd just use the full Dynamic Environment mod set, but again I don't know what the others do.

Best thing I think is to use TDWs JSGME mod validator:

This will check your list and tell you if there are any conflicts. :salute:

[robbythesub]

Thank you, I will try that and yes many mods built up since the game was launched so will have to scrap some I think. :x

Yes, the MQK Converter is meant to be installed to your computer for separate calculations. If you have it in your game it may not cause problems, but it serves no purpose. I'd remove that one first.

[robbythesub]

Thanks- not sure how that got put among my mods but have removed it now.

I ran the mod checker and there were plenty of conflicts, but surely there are bound to be some where later mods add to earlier ones.

I find the large choice of mods very confusing when it comes to getting the best set up, and can never work out the order to place them in.

The FX updates particularly so for TDW mods and also I placed manos scope mod at the very end and received a message to say it conflicts with TDW UI mod, so surely it cant mean I cant use it?

You could try following someone else's mod list.

Here are a few that look good:up:

The graphics are superb and the game plays well, but I have some weird goings on!

I restarted a saved game submerged and under attack from about 10 warships.
My crew keep repeating the same thing "we have a task force in sight" and "smoke on the horizon".
Also, my sonar operator says "no sound contact" when asked to check which is crazy as I am surrounded by them!

Has anyone else had this?

It seems like the reports are as if surfaced when in fact I am submerged.

Hope someone can offer further help? :-?

Sorry I cant help you more but alot of your mods I have not tried. I do know BRF 1.3 full you need to disable if your using FX_update. Also FX_Update_0_0_16_2_UHS_Fix is a Fix for FX_update and I don't see you have FX_update. If you want them both you can get the latest FX_update and you can use the link to RealSink in my signature. Realsink is BRF tweaked to work with FX.

[robbythesub]

Thanks MIA, I appreciate your advice.

As I mentioned earlier, I really find it hard to know what to enable and not as times go on!

There seem to be several FX updates around, some of which I have in my list so I have taken pot luck really!

I cant even remember what BRF 1.3 actually does as it was so long ago!

I will try your advised ones, thanks :up:
