What did I miss (now)

[plj]

I've been swapping my mep file a bit .. adapted mikemike47's list a little to include real navigation and a few other mods from sober's collection.

End result is a working game, with 2 issues:

For some reason my game now seems to default to feet as opposed to meters.

When I dive, my crew stays on watch.


Where would I start to look to resolve these issues ?

Never mind the Imperial units .. dunno why it thought I would want feet as default .. remaining issue is my crew going for unallowed swims.

[gap]

Is anything overwriting the two mods below? :hmmm:

[plj]

Just unzipped my clean install again, reloaded the mods, and now all is fine :/

Is it possible that JSGME doesnt clean up like it should when you choose unload all ?

yep, sometimes it gets confused :doh:

[Aktungbby]

That's all a simple Uboot-waffer needs!; a confused JSGME! Cannot any one write 'Modding for Dummies SHIII-IV' for sale on Amazon (with proceeds to subsim) so that ANYONE may slowly (but absolutely) install an infallible correctly ordered modlist? A computer layman inquires. :k_confused:

Well JSGME going nuts is not really a common evenience. In the big majority of cases file corruptions/replacements are due to simple human mistakes. Other than addressing your confused JSGME to a good psychiatrist, there are a few simple rules which can be adopted to reduce the evenience of JSGME-generated mistakes:

- avoid unneeded file conflicts as much as you can (renaming/removing readme files in the same name and paths, for instance);
- never stop JSGME during mod enabling/disabling, even though it may look freezed (this happens when processing mep files or big mods);
- avoid editing / adding / removing mod files while their mod is enabled.

With the above little attentions, JSGME is still a valid support to SH modding :up:

On that .. dont worrie. I intend to make it a dummy proof downloader and installer tho. I'm lazy, and I've installed the same mod package waaaaaay to often now for comfort.


Other stuff that keeps bugging me, or my game .. which you prefer:

- Deckgun ... there is this nice 10" deckgun available for only 2000 renown (special plice fol you) ... but they scam it right off your boat as soon as you undock. Or at least, it shows as an 8"gun on the boat ... ? Is this a bug or me wanting a 10"gun too soon ?

- Yesterday I went sightseeing in Poland .. some nice harbors there .. great for training that deckgun crew ... except that when I sunk the last ship and wanted to go to Kiel, my game decided to crash. Again. Is there anything I can do to PREVENT these crashes ? I dont save every 10 minutes .. it breaks immersion ... but having to redo also breaks immersion :( Any suggestions ?

[plj]

Oh yeah, also:

- When I lock onto a target, playing at 96% realism (external cam on), I used to be able to ask that weapon officer to identify my target. I can still ask it .. it still shows in the log that I asked it, but no answer, and my SRM stays closed. Is this a bug or a feature due to my modlist ?

(mikemike47, do you have the same issue or is this because I tried to shove sober's and your list into one ?)

[Kroenen]

Hey plj, I too was suffering a lot of CTDs (assuming thats the crash you had), and am also running a very similar mod setup to you. I thought I had it beat, but then every time I went through Kiel canal, it would CTD without fail.

It seems the TDW SH5 patcher I was using (I didn't know better so I downloaded the .gps file from one of the tutorials), had enabled some of the advanced render patches. May be worth checking those, as I have only had 1 ctd since then, when I tried to use the flak gun on a plane.

As for your weapons officer, 2 things to check. At the top right (to the left of the clock, make sure it's set to show the XO TDC. Next, when you press space to lock a target, make sure you haven't switched TDC off. I'm sure you've probably checked those already, but in my limited experience with SH5, I hope that helps a bit.

:salute:

Hey there,

Thanks for the suggestions, but I was not talking about the XO .. I think this feature is part of mccd or the mfc mod. It auto identifies and opens the SRM to the appropriate page.
The CTD's where related to modorder I'm sure .. using the second list gave me no CTD's so far, well .. one .. after a long time no saving and playing around in a polish harbour.

I double checked the patcher tho, nothing obvious like the render patches or anything, will take a closer look, but I doubt it comes from there, since afaik there is no mccdmfc related stuff in the patcher.

[Kroenen]

Yup, scratch that anyhow. Just had a CTD heading back through Kiel canal to go resupply. Thankfully, I wasn't taking any chances and saved beforehand...just hope I actually manage to get through, even if I have to do it in realtime! :o

[plj]

Update: I went full retard on myself here .. I disabled the auto opening of the SRM and flipping to the right page. You can laugh at me now. :haha:

Only remaining question is regarding upgrades at gamestart .. after reloading the base save, and talking to the upgrade guy, he's selling a 10 cm deckgun .. if I buy that, it's not in game. I also have a second deckgun slot ... which I can put that new shiny gun in, but that still does not make it available on my sub.

All the other issues seemed to be user error :o

I play at about 60% realism I lock on target first then identify.

May not work if just returning to bunker, then changing mods. May have to start a new campaign. SRM means?

Works fine with MCCD and MFC.

Include a picture of this second deckgun slot you are talking about.

I've seen things happen when you have to pay for item all over again when finishing a campaign. Is this what you mean? Or saving a game at bunker after buying equipment, then reloading that just saved game and upgrades do not show up? Maybe a bug with SH5 I am thinking about until I get more details from you. I will updated this with file information when I have more time later.

I usually see an empty slot,too. 8 or 10" guns are there. I am using the Equipment upgrades mods and sober's Equipment upgrades mods by date, too.

Generally speaking, look at individual folder and filename structure for a mod. Let new filenames overwrite over filenames from older mods, unless you want features of oldest mod.

Ship Recognition Manual. I didnt realise the option to not open it in the optionfile from TDW would disable the function all together. Fixed now :oops:

I feel so stupid now .. it's the option to remove the gun from your boat. Not a second deckgun slot. If you use it, both deckguns will be listed below.

The 10.5 cm gun can be bought .. it will cost all my 2000 strating renown. It will then show in dock as being installed. I then get my mission, start the patrol, walk over to the gun, and it shows as being a 8.8 cm gun.

This could very well be an issue with just showing incorrect name, but I dont know how to test that :o
