MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1
MCCD_1.04_MFCM_1.2.1_compatible


Ok I went to these mods respective pages and downloaded them.

Here's the thing.

After unzipping them into my MODS folder "MCCD_1.04_MFCM_1.2.1_compatible" was still titled "MCCD_1.04"

And with "MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1" I still had to choose between stock w/ beards, alt w/ beards, etc....There wasnt just a "MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1" to enable

therefore, the result would still be what I posted here

I have these 2 in this order

MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Alt w beards
MCCD_1.04


Which I was told was wrong.

I haven't tried it yet but this tells me I had already installed the right mods. What am I missing here? :doh: Im not sure what is going on I suck at this :shifty:

You are unzipping the wrong folder. Open the root folder, called More_crew_commands_dialog_v1.04. Inside it there are sevaral subfolders, including MCCD_1.04 and MCCD_1.04_MFCM_1.2.1_compatible. You should unzip and enable the latter.

And with "MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1" I still had to choose between stock w/ beards, alt w/ beards, etc....

They are okay. Pick either of them

Not much of from me xpt I had similar problems and gave up on MCCD since I hunted that as a source of ctds.I seem to remember I got CTD when Diving. I ts not nessecary mod for the "core" of the game although I believe it s very nice to have when it works

Never had a single ctd with that mod installed according to instructions, but whenever someone reports recursive crahes after the issue of a command, I am 90% sure that MFCM or MCCD are involved, and that some error with their installation has been done. Facts confirm it in most cases :yep:

[Hotjoe]

Ugh. Started OH campaign in Mamel, sunk a couple polish ships in danzig bay, got a radio message to rebase in Kiel. Cool. Got there, docked, talked to the guy to get my new patrol......no patrols. Only patrol available was Danzig bay, the one I had apparently just completed (it showed I had only sunk half the tonnage when this is not the case)

:dead:

I know this obviously has something to do with the OH campaign. Should I move this post to that thread?

:sign_yeah:

Dunno if this is the cause of Hotjoe's problem, but one should wait for the radio message confirming the beginning of hostilities, before taking any initiative against the enemy.

It is unbelievable how many subsim Kaleun's don't give a damn about the righteous orders that our B.d.U Karl "Trevally" Doenitz keeps radioing, uncared, every so often. Their radio receiver must be permenantly tuned on the CBS frequencies :hmm2:

Thank you very much for that btw :D:up:

It might depend on the map mod used. In stock game the color should be blue, IIRC :hmm2:

I can confirm this error .. had it too. easy fix is start new patrol by skipping the get mission part .. then immediately end it. New orders will then be available.

[Trevally.]

You guys should stop driving your boat everwhere at flank speed:arrgh!:
:O:


Good idea about the radio message - I will add that.
any suggestions what message we should get to say we are now at war?

[plj]

Well ... maybe I did it wrong .. but I had over 50k tonnage, including a polish sub, the minelayer and the destroyer, and a couple of targets that took a few hours to track down .. then I was out of torps, out of shells, and sinking coastal boats with my FLAK got boring, so I headed to Kiel at full speed ahead, as I had plenty diesel for that speed ;)

Should be in New UI's already, and in TDW's Radio Message Engine for non-New UIs users:

OBERKOMMANDO DER KRIEGSMARINE ALL 1939/09/01|Overt military operations have commenced against Poland. All Polish vessels are to be considered hostile and valid targets which may be attacked at the commander's discretion.|Vessels of other nations are considered neutral and are not to be attacked.|OKM

It is set for being radioed from 4 PM of Sep 1st to 7 PM of the day after. Maybe you can anticipate its start time to 00:01 AM, and you can set another message to be dispatched at the beginning of the patrol, ordering U-boats at sea to join their planned patrol areas, to stay at radio depth, and to categorically avoid any engagement until further orders. :yep:

Ok I decided to scrap everything and start from scratch. Not solely due to problems I was having but because I want every mod in sobers list now that I know more about what they are :D:up:.

So, I now have every mod installed, and I was VERY careful to do everything correctly. But, when I loaded the game I got this on the main screen:

http://imageshack.us/a/img194/741/ebuo.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/194/ebuo.jpg/)

I am unable to click any of the buttons on these windows (Accept, Cancel, etc.) Also as you can see in the lower left there is an overlap which prevents me from exiting the game other than with alt f4. I am able to click on Submarine School, however, and get this window:

Hotjoe , New UI is not installed correctly or you forgot to patch the game to 1.2 . Or something else .

[Hotjoe]

Game is patched to 1.2

I am 99.9% certain that I installed it correctly.

I left out Real Navigation though because I decided I didnt want it so I took it out of the MEP file. (current MEP file)

Also left out a few other mods.

I double clicked the values and clicked with Enable/Disable like it said in the guide http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=202346

[THE_MASK]

New UI mod cannot be installed correctly then . Only certain folders within the mod get enabled . Or the game isn't patched to 1.2 . That's all I got . My game works flawlessly .

[gap]

@ Hotjoe

going by the screenshot you have posted, I think we can exclude that 0.1% remaining margin of doubt that your game is not patched to v 1.2.
It is :yep:

There are chances that you messed things up while trying to edit New UI's options. I would suggest you to disable the mod, scrap it, and enable a fresh copy of it. Leave alone configurable options until you can fully understand what they are for :03:

[plj]

Last, under Task, the bottom option lets you export the coplete list to clipboard, after which you can paste it, no need for screenshots ;)

You are looking at the journal editor stuff put into NewUI's .. not sure why ? Did you change a value to open your journal at game start or something ?

Normaly, this shows you tha available journal files, and when you select them, they open in the journal editor.

[flag4]

Thanks , I just put the info together . The modders are the ones who made it possible .
yes that's right. but it seems we are heading in some way towards a kind of GWX super mod - which will, for players like me make all the difference...many many thanks:up:

Anybody else getting subsighted messages from friendlys? I just ticked the thing off. Supposed to be like that? Another weird thing with it was that when an enemy convoy spotted and sent subsighted message I just had the attackscope over water a sec in like 4 km distance. They did not behave like they spotted me though.

Same here .. being bombarded with 'enemy' sub sighted messages while still in the dock, enemy seems to have nightvision and able to spot attack scopes at 1.5m above waterline @ 6km .. yet dont alter course, start searching, radio for help or anything. I ended up turning it off as well, as it doesnt add much except false hope for action :p

IIRC, those messages don't actually discern between enemy and allied ships. This is why so many of them are dispatched while still in bunker :yep:

exactly! intercepting one of those message doesn't necessarily mean that you have been actually spotted. They are there just for immersion, but for me they have always worked the other way around :-?

Ok, ill try that, but should I disable all the UI parts or just the main one? Cause as you can see I have 3 enabled. Main, alt officer wounded by torpedo, and Rad cap tools.

I'm going under the assumption of "There are no dumb questions" :yep::haha:

Through process of elimination I have found that Reaper 7's Stadimeter fix mod is the only one causing those windows. Dont enable only that and the windows arent there. :up:

Since long, long, I say looong ago :yep:

P.S: you broke at least two of my rules at once: :03:


4. If you want to use a mod not featured in the safe mod lists, read mod directions to know what it is doing exactly and how to use it.

7. Unless you know what you are doing, absolutely avoid file conflicts reported by JSGME while enabling a mod not featured in the safe mod lists: continuing would probably result in loss of features, or unstable game in the worst cases.

Yep, this is a known issue.

On the other hand, it seems that the game never triggers very high winds along the coasts (hardcoded feature? It was reported by Volodya a while a ago). Thinking out loud here, but maybe adjusting a bit PT boat's buoyancy and limiting their usage to coastal waters as stricly as possible, would partly attenuate the problem without need of reducing high wind wave heights. :hmmm:

I think the weather in SH5 is the big letdown now . Its from the last century pc gaming imo . Dynamic fog is in the shaders but probably not used to cut down on core usage . Hardly ever rains and if it does then fog should be automatically applied with the rain .

You seem to not understand that adding anything to a modlist, might break it. Asking for directions on a broken list where you added mods that are not even close to being recommended shows a few things:

1. You did not read the opening post well enough, or didnt follow the links there, or you could have answered your own question.
2. By not doing that, you thought you needed to fix the stadimeter with a mod .. thereby borking your list yet claiming to be 99% sure you did everything correct and only left a few out .... yet here we are, talking about a mod not on sober's list, causing your issue.

Follow gap's rules .. follow sober's instructions. If they do not talk about a reaper stadimeter mod, dont add it untill you are sure you have sober's list running like it should.

If you THEN run into trouble with a mod (not on the list) you dont ask in his topic for tech support .. you create your own and do the best you can to provide all relevant data ...

[Hotjoe]

:down:No.

I read all of the New UI original posts, it only mentioned even the WORD stadimeter once and it had nothing to do with the stock bug. THIS is why I was asking the above question. Do not assume I do not read stuff. Why are you making assumptions and adding things onto to this very simple question that simply do not exist?


If you THEN run into trouble with a mod (not on the list) you dont ask in his topic for tech support .. you create your own and do the best you can to provide all relevant data ...

Joe,

your mistake wasn't asking if the stadimeter fix was required or not with New UIs, but asking it too late when we had already started racking our brains on other possible causes of your issue.

Ideally, you should have followed sober's instructions to the letter, tested the game for checking that everything was working as supposed, and them made your modifications one by one, eventually asking for confirmations by other members in dubious cases.

If you don't admit your mistakes, you will repeat them again and again, and sober will have a nervous breakdown from it :03:

No assumptions made .. just facts deduced from observation. I suggest you reread the first two lines of the first post, use the link, and search for stadimeter there. :yep:

I'm sorry you cant remember context past a page change. You adding that mod to the list and failing to notice a whole topic on the generic patcher is you doing things wrong. Live with it.

Does this seem a little dark to you guys? I cant see anything beyond 100 m. Ive tried adjusting the gamma on both the game and my monitor but it just makes everything look weird. Also tried removing Darker Nights/ no mroe murky waters but nothing so i dont know what may be causing it. If this is what its supposed to look like then cool lemme know cause if thats realistic thats what I want :D

Also, should I attach screenies from now on instead of embedding them? These huge pictures seem a little obnoxious.

In the description it still says dark areas are more dark just FYI

[THE_MASK]

In the description it still says dark areas are more dark just FYIIt should have said based on vanilla . Be aware that even with V7 the nights with medium fog will be lighter than V6 but still fairly dark . Nights with no fog will be lighter than V6 but you should be able to define a ship further out .

[Hotjoe]

ok thanks but just to check do your nights look about the same as my screenshots?

Scapa raid .
Night time with medium fog and a raging storm 15m/s winds . Destroyers and elcos behind me . I just passed a white navigation light so I know the entrance to Kirk sound is close . However due to the lack of visibility and the navigator not knowing exactly where we are because of real navigation (and no external views) I have to make the decision to either wait where I am till daybreak rather than risk running aground (which wont be happening) and go ahead with the raid and risk being detected . Or turn around while conditions are poor and evade the escorts considerably easier than if it were daytime .

Step 1 jsgme /Tasks/save mod profile
Step 2 Disable all mods jsgme
Step 3 Read the instructions in the Real navigation mod to find out how to set it up .
Step 4 go to the options editor found in
MODS\NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Applica tions\OptionsFileEditorViewer
Look for the heading MessageBox and set time compression level to any message box message to 1 = True .
Step 6 Enable all mods Tasks/Load mod profile
Step 6 Play SH5 using real automation and turn on real navigation . Any problems just ask .

[plj]

Forgive me if this has been explained already, but is there a reason New UIs 7_5_0 isn't used in this list? Is it known to conflict with other mods in the list or is it just not used because it is still a test version?

thanks!

Did your JSGME freeze up when you loaded the list ? Try unloading and reloading it, dont to anyting and shut off all pop-up generating programs like skype, live messenger, etc. to keep it focussed. Wait for it to complete loading, then try again. Longshot, worth a try tho.

I did do that. I even start on a fresh install every time I attempt to start a campaign. Deleted every single folder. Including SH5 steam folders, ubisoft folders, and in my documents.

Yes this must be it. During enabling the GME froze up a bit and it went into (Not Responding) for a buit then went back to normal.

I doubt thats the cause. That simply latency/bandwidth in moving the files around to enable the mod profile. The real problem is game code and mod code IMHO, and debugging it is difficult with the tools that are available.

Yes, a single parameter:

data\Filters\Underwater.pfx => UnderwaterDispMap | Intensity

IIRC it takes values from 0 to 1, zero not included. Stock setting: 0.025; sober's setting: 0.525. You can try toning down the effect to something your GPU can handle. DynEnv's main mod uses a prudent setting of 0.070, but values of 0.1 or slightly higher shouldn't cause issues :up:

Driver incompatability ?

As long as you update regularly your graphic drivers, the problem shouldn't come from there

Unknown ?

How far do you think a submarine periscope can see underwater ?

That would depend on a few factors .. but when I go underwater, it just fades to pitch black ... even if just half a meter. That's not realistic at all.

Calm and sunny weather at periscope depth should make it possible to see my own ship underwater .. I can see it when I'm above the water with the external cam .. go underwater with cam, screen goes black.

I think it doesn't depend on how performant is your GFX card.

Dunno why, but in general it seems that this game is more compatible with ATI cards than with Nvidia ones. Someone with a better understanding of this subject please correct me if I am wrong :hmm2:

Are there any exception regarding this? You haven't enabled anything with "advanced" tags , orbit patches, render patches ect?


The most economical fuel setting for the Type 2 a submarine is 7 knots .

Climb down the hatch and dive to periscope depth and then surface at the start of every game load .

Till about 50m depth, you have visability underwater .. up to about 80m in ideal conditions. Colors drop off as you get deeper. You could use the periscope underwater .. only issue would be that if you can see them, they can see you as well.

Yep, nice shot: that is more or less how, in RL, far objects gradually fade out underwater. :yep:
Please have a look at the following link on how this effect can be obtained in SH5. If you read the whole thread, you will also discover why that method is not exploited by any popular mod:

Hi everyone! :arrgh!:

Since i installed your last MEP file i got a CTD on the loading screen when i´m trying to load a save that was previously working with your mods. The save is in the bunker and i think that the sobers newUis addon has something to do with it because i don´t really understand what to do when it is installed.

Do i have to touch some optionsfile thing or something? Sorry i didn´t really understood your instructions :/\\!!

Edit: Nevermind, i thought the new MEP was savegame compatible. Starting a new campaign now ;)

[Husksubsky]

What are you trying to do ?
Im unspecific as usual. I talk about using the optionfileeditor/viewer first time in a fresh install and you set path to menu.txt. All tutorials use the one in the main new ui s mod, but we who use Realnav set the path to the menu.txt in the realnav mod right? Thats the last menu.txt.

The other thing was that when you click "file" in the topleft corner in the optionfileeditor/viewer you are given option of opening two files for configuration. I always wondered what the second "open"was ment for

it says :

open
open
close
---------------
set path to menu.txt
set SH5 install path

Hi Sober,
What are usual debug log messages, when you get ctd?
I'm new here. I follow your instructions.
But every time on the first patrol, slightly after first ship contact I get ctd.
Last message in the debug log is "SH_ServerOrbitProtocol.cpp (111): Failed to read packet from client."

Usually I'm under water. It's happens shortly after second or third ship (visual) contact. I guess, because it's night or early morning. Last time I was ready for my first torpedo launch on polish merchant.

Last time I was ready for my first torpedo launch on polish merchant.I just wanted to know if you tried to attack a ship before the war starts . Download the latest MEP file i just uploaded and start a new career . I think the problem is too many mod conflicts . I will just shorten up the list a few times until no ctds .

Shortened the mod list down again to try and get rid of ctds once and for all . Start a new campaign .

Same again. First encountered two enemy destroyers and one merchant not far away. Avoided destroyers and attacked the merchant with the deck gun. She was already bombarded by luftwaffe, but I was able to fire few shells.
After this, I took course on new sonar contact. But while getting closer, suddenly ctd with the same problem.
Can the problems associated with the orbit listener to have a relation with my Internet connection? I have fast connection, but without real ip address.

FX update files are also overwritten by OH2 and everything worked fine, so yes...

Which files get overwritten? Vecko's FXU patch should only contain stock ships' zon files, which are not overwritten by OHII :hmmm:

[vdr1981]

Those are the same files so this should not pose a problem. When I find some spare time I'll remove OH2 files but for now the mod is completely safe. You can instal it after FXU or even after OH2 if you like...

Falling, falling, and raised again ... My game is "crashing" after clicking "K". I'm starting a campaign Coastal Waters after the second sinking ship ... My computer Win8 12 GPU and 1 GB RAM. I followed all the instructions Sobers ... I appreciate the help!Use the GUI .

Couldn't lack of RAM be the issue here?

Fantastic mega mod list Sobers. Thanks. Your work and those of the many others takes SH5 to a whole new level. For some reason since installing the last of the mods in the list, I can no longer minimise the UI with the key I once did (DEL on the numeric keypad, using Churches keyboard commands). Is there a mod in the list responsible for this, or is something else to blame? There doesn't appear to be any conflict with Churches Keyboard Commands and any mod in Sober's mega mod list.

You need 4MB. At least

Thanks for listening, guys...

Sorry for the mistake, it's GPU 1 GB and RAM 12...

GUI does not appear, I think it's because I'm still in the tutorial and I have no command of the sub.


Nice,
This means that your specs are not the culprit.

If you can - tell more about your issues.
When I first read your description I instantly assumed lack of RAM was the reason. Demanding graphics can be nasty on your CPU and RAM.

BTW, what CPU are you running?

Could you show us your mods list in the current load order?

Sounds funny though that the GUI doesn't show up. What GUI are you trying to run?
IF it's the NewUIs you could try to replace it with the CSP Magui > http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181370

Just to check what happens - you can try to skip the tutorial. Like this (open it with Note Pad)

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=6846

and save

[Silent Steel]

...Edit: I could not use CSP Magui, my computer does not have SH5Schiffe.exe not found for download on the internet.

Hi again Dida

Your specs are just fine :up:

I'll take a look at you mods list later.
In the mean time -

1. Save your mod list in the JSGME
2. Deactivate the whole list
3. Activate the CSP Magui and see if it shows up.

Of course you can use CSP Magui, it's included in the mod :yep:

Do this

1. Activate the CSP Magui in JSGME
2. Go to > C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\SH5Schiffe.exe
3. Open it up and got to the tab 'Map Options' and do your settings for the map
4. Go to the tab 'Create Recognition Manual' and press the two buttons at the bottom
5. Close
6. Start SH5 :up:

I'll get back to you later

Hi Sober,
I somehow overcame my problems and finished my first patrol.
But now I can not select new mission. The only way is to start new patrol without selecting a mission, and then to end the patrol immediately. After this I can select next mission, but in this way I lost 28 days (2 x 14).
What I'm doing wrong?

[Trevally.]

This is because objectives are date + completion triggered
So when no objective is there - the game timeline is still catching up.
The campaign is based on the war as thus every now and then needs to make sure that some objectives are not ready until the historical date.

Just slow down - no need to rush (unless heading to Scapa or Norway)
28 days in nothing in game time for this game - you have just under 5 years to get through. So if you find no missions - patrol/dock is ok - you won't miss much:up:

see here for mission dates

Thanks for the info Trevally. I suspected it was thus.
I was worried that I will not have enough time exactly for Scapa. Changed MinimumDaysInBaseGE to 4. The new value take effect after next patrol.

Sober, thank you for the excellent manual, without it modding this game seemed to me like black magic. Now I even dare to change some mod's files for greater compatibility.

@vdr1981 - "Sober, Is there any reason why not to include SH5 External Cargo 1.0 in your modlist? It works just fine I think..."

Im really curious too why arent You including this mod to Your modlist :cool:

[LTD_]

This compilation and assorted documentation look very impressive - awesome work everyone involved!

I've been gone from Silent Hunter 5/3 for a long time. Was never able to get SH 5 work in stable enough fashion on my comp. I kept recieving a very annoying CTD quite often(but not always..) when using periscope. '

With above in mind, I'd really appreciate if you could answer the following:

- Does this mod compilation, some recent-ish(2012 and after) official patch or - anything else - have something that improves the overall stability of SH5?
- Do people using Windows 7 often have much issues with this mod or with SH5 as a whole?
- Frequent CTD when using periscope is what made me unable to play this game. Happened with Steama and DVD versions both. Is this common issue with some known solution?
- Many known issues or fixes for people with ATI cards?
- My specs are:


Inter core i5 CPU @2.8 GHz
12 GB ofRAM
ATI Radeon 5800 HD
Windows 7


Anything in the above causing some knowns issues with SH5's dysfunctional code?

What is this part of the installation info or rather many parts of the various installation info lol.. its all over the place even though it has some order of thought it seems to over do it :D

"Extract the patcher with 7zip and put the folder on your desktop .
While using the exe patcher click on File/Restore snapshot and point it to the snapshot found in the mod sobers New UI addons for mega mod list in the documents folder .
or just use your own snapshot ."

I dont see anything of a patcher exe mentioned after the initial campaing new start list/info in first post.... what is this patcher and what part of the download set is it, I just dont see it..

Is this mega mod download not just a straightforward drop the mods into the mod folder after installing the jgse installer, running the MEP to correct the order and then install?

^^ im hoping :D its just the post to me is like the same info over and over again but in seperate sections, and its slightly different in its approach each time/confusing and a little off putting to know which is the definitive part to really follow..

Thanks for any feedback here.. o7

edit: this is all for a spanking new install by the way with fresh campaign start.

[moosenoodles]

Great! I see you have streamlined the follow me instructions.. I will go through it now.

p.s Also when it says you have "added" does this mean just in view of your mod what you have done or are the links to the changed files updated also, This needs confirmation as wether one has to go grab them and rename them to fit a MEP or not?

[THE_MASK]

Great! I see you have streamlined the follow me instructions.. I will go through it now.See if that makes more sense . I want to get this right for people that just start playing :up:

[moosenoodles]

See if that makes more sense . I want to get this right for people that just start playing :up:

yes its a ton more straight forward yet still it has a ton of room for improvement, I mean that in the best possible taste btw :D

Reason being,

Any pre setup and awareness of installing mods of "what needs to be done" should always come first in what you are reading..

The underlined white text is better as its more compact now :D but it still says go ahead and install the mods with mod installer.. Be aware this does not at the time of reading that tell the user to use a MEP to get the right order.

Some people will not read on to see that there are other stipulations regarding what was said at the start of the information of what you should do. I would try not to state what happens in installing a mod set as if its in the 3rd person feeling of speech...

Just do a bullet point of the steps needed is enough, and next to those steps any links needed with bracketed info on issues or such. The bullet pointed steps of install should be thorough in each step so nothing needs to be read after the following of those steps to make it correct and working.

For instance I can read what was put and get through it,, sure.. But then there is moments like oh look I have this all in one file which I signed up for to grab as its easier and beneficial to neal ( the donation ) .. But the file reads "Sober_all_n_one28082013" << now seeing as that is a sort of paid up file download of sorts say and you go and update the mod to make things better or easier, place something somewhere :D that informs of what needs to be done if anything to amend also what you have changed.

I personally dont get what you changed, as when I look at the edit you did it still has the files/names of what I already have but it shows that I have an apparent older all in one package with the mods I downloaded last night. last night :D yes...

Hence why I said if you post 080022112013 with an edit saying changed newUI mod etc give some info of that files link if there is on, if its just a config change for even the order change.

thing is I read your order change in green and yellow
"Mods List sobers 1800 22112013 (correct order)"

and above it, it reads.. "sobers New UI addons for mega mod list . Enable last in the mod enabler ."

but the list below showing the order shows it in the middle of a list. :)

Keep it simple remove all the bumf and just list a straight forward step guide with no back and forth info of confusement :D cheers.

Sterling job you are doing btw, it would of already drove me insane :D

Edit: I see the campaign oh2 file link has been updated today 22/11/13 so replacing that is fine and makes sense checking the link ;) etc..
I looked at the newUI mod file you said was changed but the date on this is 11-06-2013 < is this important to know as you have said you changed it but its showing old date on the
link for it.

Edit: ok pasting this for you to look over in relation to the install guide.

"TDW SH5Patcher (doesnt work with the steam version of the game)
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433
I have included my snapshot of my exe patcher options in the mod (sobers New UI addons for mega mod list) Just point to this file when loading the snapshot when using the exe patcher ."

^^ this does not tell the user anything much unless they wish to go read 100's of pages from that link to the guy working on code hacks for hydrophones... "when using the patcher"?
yes.. when lol? :D

This should be amended to show when this fits into the install if at all, why it is here being shown for the mega mod pack etc...
Whats the purpose of this at the top of the post? I vaguely remember seeing it somewhere in the old install guide you had up but now its not shown..
I then start to think, ok he said he amended the NewUI mega mod file to make "(no need to use the options editor or merge menu files IE: noob friendly)"

Does merging or menu files have anything to do with the TDW patcher? if so could it be worded better to fit what is being read at the top of your install guide post regarding
said patcher? IE. Again its multi info not matching multi info :D in the way I am seeing it.

I Have a fresh install sitting here :D im looking at it and thinking what should I do now really? If I am thinking that then it means unsureness which equates to not
understanding what needs to be done incase of errors made and having to reinstall all of SH5 again.

The problem is not that really, I have just come to give it a go and find that all the mods are incompatible with the MEP's due to non consistency between MEP and File name keeping.

There seems to be no order discipline with the community :D But I guess one cant expect that with so many mod makers doing single mods and not as a whole joint venture. So no upload change repository before being out to public is possible.

Ill show you what the guy out of nowhere gets when on first attempts :D

http://gyazo.com/7d972dfcacfeae9b77ae58493f06fde0 (pic)

As seen, the mod mega pack has for instance NewUI_TDC 7_5_0 and what is odd is this pack is 28/8/2013

the MEP load error states 7_4_2 ( this is the outdated one? ) and yet this is supposedly the right files to use when downloading for the mod pack? Yet the pack from the bonus mod forum area for easy download has a file that has a higher version number? very confusing.......

Now its easy to change a text file to read the right info and it will load, but when you look at an upated post to the mod order and it shows 7_4_2 :D thats when it gets a bit cooky and you wonder what should be used.

A working MEP is critical for matching the files that should be used.. The odd one or two to change is ok when something major has been updated by a mod maker, but when it throws a full list up its a bit oh dear godish..

This all seems to be down to lack of time or something to keep files updated? Neal hosts the bonus area for grabbing the packs of commonly used mega mod installs but it seems mixed with outdated and latest files even though the file pack date is old.. ( that in itself needs a fix ) or there is something I am overlooking here.

This mod can not be tested out and enjoyed right now by myself because I have no idea what is working, what is needed etc all due to individual parties not being able to keep things listed and upto date.

Come in from sea guys :D scrub up and get things ship shape.

[moosenoodles]

I just finished sorting it all out with what was newly added in the list along with updated versions of mods/compats etc. All following what Sober uses in his MEP load order.

Now thing is this mod pack is large and nowhere to dump it..

Neal if you got a ftp server I can put it on let me know and ill upload it later tonight when I am done gaming and house chores etc etc.. along with the MEP.

... p.s Steelvikings interior mod takes a while in the mod enabler doesnt it to get through hehehe..

Edit: I will go through the issues if any when its done, and have feeling there will be a few. and as im typing this there we go "access violation at address 004823AC in module JSGME.exe"

meh grrrr, I see some stuff that is greyed out in the list of active mods this seems to be toublesome :D

[moosenoodles]

gee quite dead on this forum then?

I manually placed the order of loading the mods and run the game set graphics and sound as it was loading into the bunker gets to end music stops black screen loading still on hd i see and then..

edit: why he heck does it say "Nub" above my portrait.. that is soooo rude.

'...all the mods are incompatible with the MEP's due to non consistency between MEP and File name keeping.'
I see what you mean by mods' names' inconcistencies.

As some mods have been updated (new versions) the exact names in the .mep file don't correspond to the updated ones.
Usually just the version mumber has been changed. Right?

Still, if you stick to the load order you have a working mods list and you should be able to update the list with the new versions.
The easiest way to do this is to Google the mods like: 'mod's name' subsim.

Looking at that pic you posted the impression I get from what can be seen is that those mods aren't present in your JSGME...
They must be in your C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder or the JSGME won't find the mods and won't load the list.

What is the problem? Does some other mod from your modlist use Page layout.ini file. Can you confirm that mod isn't compatible with TDW New UI's 7.4.2 ?

[Silent Steel]

Even if the TDW NewUIs is a fabulous mod and from what can be read around here it seems to cause a lot of issues (if it actually is the New UIs causing this). :hmm2:

So far I can't say I had any major issues with the CSP Magui interface
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181370

Well, other than my own clumsy mods list load orders from time to time. :oops:

Just give it a try to see if you have more luck with the CSP Magui.

BTW, when you've done your uninstalls - do you scan for related files left in the directory? (I use the CCleaner - https://www.google.se/search?q=ccleaner+download&oq=ccleaner&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.3855j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8)

You could even try this:

Start a new campaign >
Make your settings for sound and graphics >
When you get into the bunker >
Exit the game >
Go to C:\Users\Documents\SH5\data\cfg open the file with note pad and

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=177&pictureid=6846

Save the file in the same format - .cfg
Restart SH5 and load your last save that was done when you exited the game
While in the bunker go to the options and choose your difficulty settings .
While in the bunker click on the technical officer and choose a camouflage skin .
While in the bunker click on the flotilla officer and choose a mission by clicking on an iron cross
and then selecting that mission . Exit the briefing map and click on the flotilla comander again
and then click on lets start the mission

[vdr1981]

Some panel shows up that I havnt seen before with garbled writing . Its in the bunker with a career start .
Hm, probably because .ini file isn't the same for 7.4.2 and 7.5.0 versions (added comands for electric engines on surface)...It will probably work with edited .ini file taken from New UIs 7.4.2...:yep: Check my previous post...

Entered the port of Kiev, no problem now, no CTD since the beginning of the mission. : Up:

Wow, never tried that myself :o

All the way from the Mediterranean - Bosphorus Straits - the Black Sea...
That's some trip.

Have to try it myself some day.

Entered the port of Kiev, no problem now, no CTD since the beginning of the mission. : Up:
Just a question, my men are not operating from the deck guns of the deck, take the position in the machine gun and cannon but not fire a shot. Nor was it possible with binoculars to catch the sight of the gun at an enemy ship. It seems that this feature is not stoked on the new lenses in inidicadas. MEP.
Thanks, Sober, for his patience and attention! : Saudação:Let me test this now . Try the new EXE patcher GES file found in documents of this mod .
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4240
Seems that the yellow triangle in binocular view is missing . For the moment man the gun yourself if you want to target a specific ship .

[vdr1981]

Could you please test something for me Sober?
I've noticed that you don't use this fix (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4249) which resolved almost all of mine CTD problems in situations when AI units is engaged and taking damage( with FXU0.0.22)... I struggled with this one for en least two months, but since I find the solution I did not had not a singe CTD in similar situations...:sunny:

So, I'm really curious, will you have enleast one CTD out of ten tries in TDW torpedo tutorial mission, with Liberty cargo?

Can you do that when you have some spare time?

Would anyone like to try and make a better looking waves mod . Its just adjusting numbers with notepad . I am not happy with the way my wavemod looks .

Sober
firstly many thanks for your (an others) great work on this mega mod.

I used your mep-file to start SH5 firstly on a clear installation and I'm wondering about several thinks:

- Why still TDC 7.4.2 when 7.5 is up?

- When I use the external cam, the underwater view is too dark to see anything. I can see one second, then it becomes deep dark. Error or mod?

- I installed the game in german language, now it's english. Maybe this is done by the generic patcher? I load Sjizzle's snapshot. Can I get it back to german?

- If I click any officer, there is no voice output, or when I command speed to AK, no repeat from the crew

- How can I identifiy any vessel? Can't find the book about vessels.

- I've chosen a camo at the beginning, but when I left the bunker is hasn't appeared.

Any hints are really appreciated. :)

[THE_MASK]

Sober, this is modliste is getting better, but there is still a problem. One, is that sonarman loops and infinitely repeats the information for a new contact. Another, who is leaving Kiev CTD received by the channel as soon as the sub enters the channel to reach the first big curve.
As for sound, would add the mod:
stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 Basemod
stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 Hotfix 3
stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3 optional-6db damped Sonarguy
DBSM_Music_1_0_4
If possible, where you add these mod?
Again thank you and congratulate you for the excellent work. :Kaleun_Salute:The problem with the repeating sonarman is the Realistic_Hydrophone_1_1 mod maybe .
What time compression are you using to travel the Kiel canal ?
Put DBSM after open horizons 2 and see how that goes . I don't use it because I hate the avatar movement by the arrow keys . I like the wasd keys to move around .
