1. Make your changes in the editor, then save and overwrite the py-file.
2. Disable and re-enable the mods using JSGME, changes should now be activated.
3.You should be in the bunker to avoid CTDs, start a new patrol after changes.

Do not disable the mods first, as mentioned here. This will also disable the editor.

What do you mean by "disable the editor"?

[Subwolf]

This is not necessary...

I got a CTD after changing some stuff using the editor while on patrol. No need to ask for trouble, make it safe.

What do you mean by "disable the editor"?

When you disable the mod, it also includes the editor, as it is part of it. Another way to do it is to put the editor somewhere else before you disable the mod, as it is a stand-alone application.

I don't really understand what you are trying to say but TDW OFEV can be utilized both when mod is enabled and disabled... In my instructions I have described the use when mods are disabled which is the most accurate way according to app creator (TDW).

My preferred way is to use OFEV "in fly" directly from the main "data" folder without any mods disabling, but that is a different story...

[THE_MASK]

Thanks to your campaign fixes sobers mega mod is rock solid . No ctds and 53 saves on the current campaign . cheers .

Maybe you could be kind enough to provide a link to your instructions then.

What I'm trying to say is that the application folder will disappear when the twos mod is disabled in JSGME, and the editor becomes unavailable.

Anyway, the way I do it works for me.

How many times do I have to do that so I could finally became "kind" enough?

The link for instructions is clearly stated in FAQ and tips section, not to mention that I have post a link (God knows for which time) just a few posts ago...

If you mean this post (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2340662&postcount=2521), your instructions are basically the same as I described in post 4756 of this thread.

So I guess this discussion is based on misunderstandings then, and we can put it down.

it's doesn't matter if disappear when u disable the mods u can run the application without any problem ..... when i have made this (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2395357&postcount=4746) screen shot i was using MagUI and if i do some changes in Tdw's option file viewer and i enable my TDW's based mod list the changes what i have made in option file viewer will have effect.....

[mr.artur_96]

Is it possible to have type VIIB in middle of total germany ?

If so then how ?

Plz ;-)

[vdr1981]

If so then how ?

Plz ;-)

Sure...But only when BdU decide so...

If you want to "cheat" a bit then...
Increase your rating points found in CareerTrack.upc file from your last gamesave to something like 3 or 4 and end your patrol...

[palmic]

I have to say i have 99% of time wind 15/s.
If it was intended, ok, if not, it's a bug.
I operate mostly around England.

The second issue around weather is the fact it does not reset it's visual behavior relevant to weather report information.
-it seams save game keep same weather in report, but does not start to render it.

As a result i have most of time 15m/s in report, but absolutely clear sea. Right now i play for about 1-2 hours and it's still the same from load.
I know it will fix after next change, but the problem is the change is not happening

I know we were talking about it here yet, but right now i recognized it's rather mostly broken, than ok..

[Sjizzle]

heya vecko i have made around 10 videos about your mega mod, tdwäs patcher, option file viewer, mod list order, targeting solution, how to use real navigation etc etc but there is problem i ma 6000 miles away from home and i can not edit and upload them now only when i will be home ....as soon i am home i will upload them and give u the links....

Flak gun damage to ships now seams to be balanced, thanks Vecko :up:

[blackcan]

Hey i got a little confusing questsion.

http://i.imgur.com/intpQyo.jpg

Is this accurate? Since it says Dänemark is a enemy (since 10.04.40 and i'm on 20.07.40) but when i destroy them they seem to be friendly.

Is this a wrong table or is it the American dates like
MM/DD/YY ?
I assumed it is DD/MM/YY since everything is in german

[palmic]

This is a good question.
When i attacked Netherland ship it was already axis, but in flags chart its allies for whole war.
The same problem i had right now with Greeks, its allied at flags, but ports at map are neutral. And the game crashed after i sunk them near of British Coast by deck gun.

[oscar19681]

question ,

Is there a way to have radio contact reports to be visible again without disabling real navigation? I mean spotting enemy ships is a rare occation.
I run into neutral and red cross ships all the time. This is extremly frustrating. When i try to pinpoint the coordinates for enemy sightings myself there is never anything there.

[Netscape Navigator]

Southwest approaches... right when I arrived at the red marker it said I completed intercept convoy... but I didn't spot or detect one.

Now I have a blank (no text) secondary objective. :hmm2:

On the way to my patrol zone I did sink 3 ships in a small convoy not far from German port, they were flying Netherlands flags. I also sunk a single brit vessel off the east coast of Ireland.

Anyways I'm a tad confused if I should continue hunting for convoys in the SW area or try and make it to the invasion of Norway.

How many days is the time spent in bunker? I forgot. Need to make sure I'm out at sea while the operation ends and new one begins.

No random days is exactly what I don't want giving my present dilemma.

Well I just did some experimenting. I don't understand how it is possible to play Operation Wesserubung since the long stay in the bunker after ending patrol. I waited in the bay until the 20th when it popped up, then "ended patrol" to enter the bunker... by the time i get out of the bunker and set sail the Operation IS ALREADY OVER. I know I could just sail over to norway and sink stuff....but if I can't select it as a mission I don't get all the credit for it I assume...

It will not be random if you'll not set it random in KSD how Sober wrote.
Just set minimum=1 and maximum=1 and you'll have dock periods just 1 day.

Career progress depends on:
- Promotional points for the crew - secondary patrol missions, spy infiltration ect...
- Points for new equipment - number of sunken ships/tonnage from anywhere in the world
- New sub offer - Rating points gained by sinking capital ships and tankers anywhere in the world
- Medals - Overall tonnage, sinkings of capital ships

You can manually edit upcoming number of days in bunker. Check Tips for more...

Minimum random random days in base set by KSDC is 7...Righ now I have set my days in bunker to be from 30 to 40 days...To apply KSDC days settings, you have to start the game trough KSDCommander at least once.

I run TWoS without real Nav as I am not a hardened Sub Simmer. I like to dip in every now & then but find the mod too realistic. I want to play this MOD on easy level, eg. Auto torpedo calculations, (Maths has never been a strong subject with me.) Is this easy to set up to in such a way? I like this MOD over Sobers but find it a bit to tricky. Can anyone help without giving me Boos & Hisses? Thanks.:hmmm:

You only have to lower realism settings in game options and to use OFEV in order to disable "manual targeting enforced" option, located in "XO TDC" tab...

What do you need Math for? You should play the RAOBF Tutorial once (historical mission, you might have to start the automation script once you are inside the sub), it will teach you how to use the RAOBF to meassure all the data you need for a torpedo attack. No drawing on the map or math required :D

Also, you can still set the realism settings wherever you want and run it without Real Navigation enabled. Boooo... hissss.... kidding. :)

[vdr1981]

I learned from my experience that gamesaves will become corrupted in situations when certain "bugged" units are present in the area, like damaged or more likely destroyed unit which doesn't want to sink (not always but sometimes) and especially over spawned airplanes bug (this one will corrupt gamesave for sure).

This bug can be recognized by sudden excessive game lag and FPS drop some time after convoy engagement and player can also spot in the area large airplanes formations with 10-20 airplanes or more. It can look impressive but saving game near these formations will most likely brake the gamesave.



I think I have found functional solution for occasional corrupted game saves due to airplanes overspawn and probably other bugs in players rendering area...:yep:

Namely, one only have to delete "Special.txt" file from the gamesave folder (...Documents\SH5\data\cfg\SaveGames\0000000*). The corrupted gamesave will become functional again...

It seems that this file contains data about current situation in players rendering area and if the game is saved in the "wrong moment", the file will become corrupted.
By deleting it, all bugged units will be removed and player will be able to continue campaign...:yep:

[Ancient Mariner]

So I missed the little bit in yellow that tells a person to turn off UPlay in the patching stage......good mod,having to relearn how to: Manually set my torps,how to navigate and find targets.....any pointers or tuts would be good especially with the torpedoes.

[palmic]

@vdr - Wow that's a discovery!
@Sober it suffice to say it's Ubicode :O:

[palmic]

What you guys could do is to :



- try to use "Frendly deck gun waves" addon mentioned in FAQ section

- experiment with your own waves settings located in SeaParameters.cfg file

- Disable "no stabilized view" option in game settings





But gyro stabilized UZO is a "no go" in Wolves mod...:)



I tried to play with SeaParameters.cfg parameters for 0m/s, but when i tested it, it had no recognizable influence on UZO swaying.
I even tried deck gun friendly test from Vecko of course, without success, UZO still don't offer me better tool to prepare attack, then attack periscope.

You have to agree it's really funny when you are forced to submerge and use attack periscope just because of instability, i don't see this really realistic, as i said before, u-boat always prefer emerged attack from Uzo.

I wouln't want to modify sea environment, just to make subs more stable to be able to attack from surface.

The next step will be what exactly is calculation coefficient for large optic UZO. Official readme is wrong because its definitely not 100.

[Tonci87]

I have a question. I just started a new career (in the bunker before the first patrol) and noticed that I have a selection of only 12 captains emblems, I believe the stock ones.
Do the custom ones from the "A Fistful of Emblems" mod become available later?

I did check, and they are all visible in
C:\Games\Silent Hunter 5\data\Textures\TNormal\tex

You scored more than 90.000 tons in your last patrol right???:hmm2:
By the way, it's UZO high magnification which bothers you...

Heh, I never heard complains about deck guns gyro stabilized view, I guess you guys find that "realistic"? :hmm2:

Okay, this is driving me freaking crazy. There is something wrong with REAL NAVIGATION or something.

-I am using the latest Windows 10 updates.

-I am using the latest patches by Steel Wolves.

-I have installed the latest patches on a BRAND NEW INSTALL of the game. No other mods are installed. I followed the instructions precisely.

-----------------------------

SOME HOW, my UBoat keeps doing 180s using REAL NAVIGATION. I go one direction, i set my Uboat to go 120 degrees according to the compass degrees on the map, it heads that direction for a bit, then the next thing i know, without a command from me, i ALWAYS end some how going the EXACT opposite direction of the direction i ordered over a period of time. It literally does a 180 in my direction of travel some how .... it is confusing the **** out of me and very frustrating.

EXAMPLE SCENARIO

- Measure Heading on Map, i need to go 120 Degrees, set heading using the compass. Update my position manually by using the Real Navigation tool.
- Quick time for literally for around 30 or 40 in game minutes, update position, still on course heading 120 degrees in the direction i want to go.
- Wait another 30 or 40 minutes in game time (using speed compression) update position, usually still going same direction, 120 degrees.
- Wait another 30 or 40 minutes in game time to confirm my heading on the map, update the position manually, all of the sudden my uboat is heading the exact OPPOSITE direction i have been heading in for the last 2 or 3 hours without me giving a command to change heading. How in the hell is this possible? The heading is still correct on my compass!!! I am heading 120 Degrees, but i am not, i see the exact land mass again i was just heading away from some how while my compass still has the heading that should be taking me the opposite direction! Like .. wtf ...

So some how my Uboat is changing headings without it actually changing it on the compass ..... and without me giving it a command.

Do you have any automation scripts running that would change your course?

I posted before your edit. Um... I have no idea on that.

[milky]

So i am um ... fixed it. You dont wanna know.


USE THE RULER for directions and set your heading to where the red line intersects on the ruler. Do not use the Circle diameter tool thing.

[milky]

Is there a way to plan out an entire patrol route? Using ingame tools? I want to be able to put a connotation on the map and say i am suppose to arrive at this location at so and so date and time going this speed, then i am to take this course 160 or something?

Or is that something that you have to keep out of game?

So I'm having a patrol zone not trigger as accomplished. It's the typical 72 hour patrol area objective. I'm down to two torpedoes and somewhat low on fuel. I sat in a safe spot for a week just to see...nothing.

The light grid has been checked 3 times. I only draw a 175km radius circle JUST TO MAKE SURE I'm in it.

I even reloaded my save before entering the zone (I always make a save near the zone and restart the game...) and found a safe spot again and sat there for a week, again... yep didn't work.

Can I manually enter some data to signal this objective is complete? It's either that or I lose points/moral ect. Annnnnnd I'll probably rage quit this game for the 5th time.

It would be nice if uzo would not be so much influenced by waves.
This way I'm forced to submerge before attack even at night with calm sea while real night attacks was done primarily from surface by Uzo

Default UZO parameter in cameras.cam -1, 1 vertical angle - that is small in comparison with the reality (Photo N1 (https://s9.postimg.org/4j3bft06n/U-373,+UZO.jpg) and N2 (https://s9.postimg.org/gz019jtin/U-373,+UZO_2.jpg)) - maybe this is the cause of a large undulation?, and 360 degrees horizontally (which is absolutely unreal! does anyone could ever shoot with UZO from the rear torpedo tubes? lol :haha:

In my MOD (https://mega.nz/#!PU1lmQCa!TI20kK6TbDvQtVQn-O2f3La5S1Hp9kowHA1MTOsE52A) I changed the settings on the -10, 10 vertical and restricted -60, 60 degrees horizontally.

I also fixed a lot of other options, such as different angles of view in different types (from the first and third persons) - has led to a common value, it cleared up jerking the camera when changing types of cameras.

In my MOD (https://mega.nz/#!PU1lmQCa!TI20kK6TbDvQtVQn-O2f3La5S1Hp9kowHA1MTOsE52A) I changed the settings on the -10, 10 vertical and restricted -60, 60 degrees horizontally.

I also fixed a lot of other options, such as different angles of view in different types (from the first and third persons) - has led to a common value, it cleared up jerking the camera when changing types of cameras.

That actually sounds quite good, but can you please explain this part a bit more?

I did it for their own use, and most of the changes made for a long time and all of them now do not remember. Removed zoom view when the third person (I personally do not need it, I use this type of test only). No particular changes have been made, the main purpose was to remove bugs found.

[THEBERBSTER]

Can someone explain this terminology when this message shows.
New Contact Merchant! Constant Distance! Long Range.
What does the 'Constant Distance' mean?
Quite often as time has passed the same message can appear with just a different bearing.

If my sonarman gives the first range bearing on a single contact I will assume it is 18km and work back from that.
Trying to play with 100% realism so need a bit of help.
Peter

[HW3]

Constant Distance! means it is neither closing the range, or moving away.

[palmic]

Yeah this is very unrealistic, but Beno is superman and he can tell you if the course of ship is closing to you or moving away instantly. This is parallel to your imaginary line of sight to him.
(Not closing neither moving away)

Unfortunately this is very vital part of your orientation if you are fighting destroyers submerged, because you can't be loud if they are turned to you because of their hydrophones and you cannot hear this information from your hydrophone from sound of their propellers, the game does not model their course in that sounds..

Well, you can't look back anymore when sextant is enabled ...Also I'm not sure how sextant angular measurement precision will be effected by your tweak, we must ask Sjizzle...:hmm2:

[Backman]

great mod! recently i´ve reinstalled SH5. I,ll give a try...

[fitzcarraldo]

Reporting my old problem with observation scope:


I have an old problem, and I´m living with it, but I like to know if there is a solution or there is something wrong with my installation/configuration.

I have SH5 1.2 with TWoS 1.05 and patch 9, an all new installation from "zero". I play it with and without Real Navigation optional. Not other extra TWoS additional mod applied (I tried Silent Michal Interiors, but now I disabled it because I´m playing the Med campaign). I installed the mod totally according the instructions and all works as expected, but:

- In the observation scope, accessing via teleport, I can up the scope gradually but I can´t down it graduall. The on-off arrows buttons of the UI works well. This occurs with the UI arrow buttons and with the dedicated keys. No gradual down with UI buttons and keys. The Obs. scope remains up except if I press the all down arrow button. The problem occurs in surface and submerged.

- The Attack scope works with gradual up-down with all the arrow buttons and keys, without any problems.

I don´t know if it is a known problem of the UI or there is a trick (not teleport to station? Some mistery key I unknown?). I can fully down the obs. scope, but a gradual descent is impossible. As said, I´m living with this issue and I don´t have any other problems with TWoS, working very fine in my PC. Actual Mediterranean campaign departing from La Spezia with 12 saved games and reloads and all OK. Using actually SH5 Enhanced UI and antilag mod, fixed to 35 FPS with 3 pre rendered frames, and Rusted Glory skin.

I didn´t touch the presets of TWoS "py" archive via OFEV. All original TWoS installed.

Any tip or solution will be welcome!

Many thanks and best regards.

It seem to me that this is normal behavior... You can lower obs scope only up to the certain limit, otherwise your avatar would end up in main ballast tank 3 which is located under command room...:03:

Actually, one of the teleport implementation side effects is occasional avatar spawning below boats keel, outside of the sub...Obs scope lowering limit tries to prevent this issue but it can do so only if you access to obs scope manually and not through teleport commands...:yep:

Many thanks for the fast answer, Vecko. I suspected something of it. Some times I was Captain Nemo hunting out of the boat thanks to teleport side effects. It seems that is the correct answer to this issue.

I´m running now the Mediterranean Campaign without any problem, no CTDs, good reloads (except for abrupt weather changes between reloads and bad weather reports).

I can´t say what is the exact wind speed - I have a wrong 15m wind from the weather report, but it seems a 5m wind. I observed the mod overwrites an hydrophones cfg file of Rusty Glory. Is it good or bad?

Thanks!

Hello,

THANKS everyone for the AMAZING and STABLE Mega mod ! That change my life ! Abandonned that game few years ago due its instability.

My question : I saw on the mod list "SH5_Playable U-FlaK_0.1". I guess that the new boat will be available.

But it a bit special sub. When the BDU give us a new sub, we don't know which model it will be.

So, how does it work for the U-FlaK ? Just should I save before?

When this boat will be available on the game?

Thanks !

[vdr1981]

Why would you do that? :hmm2: Did you check list of contained mods and tweaks in TWoS?

[Muckenberg]

Hello
Vecko not think you incorporate into WoS AI submarine type IX? I do not know, I'm not an expert, but maybe byšlo use of SH4. And therefore I can not even guess how difficult it would be modeled from scratch.

[loukylouk]

Why would you do that? :hmm2: Did you check list of contained mods and tweaks in TWoS?
Good call, thanks for the help!

[loukylouk]

I dont know if this is a recent change or if I have done something wrong. But I'm starting with a type viib in the beginning and I have not installed any mod that would change that. I have uninstalled everything including the game itself and reinstalled everything according to your instructions three times. Is there some file I can look at to correct this?

[Micksp]

Well, I have to say no matter of the free time restrictions I have, I'm very pleased to play the TWoS! At this point I'm comfortable with most of the feutures but still have couple of questions:
1. Hou can I change the ruder panel to SH3 lookout? Or can I move the ruder section to other place to avoid the officers icons collision?
2. In the past I've used a couple of sound mods. Is it possible now with TWoS and which sound mods are compatible?

Thanks!

Could someone tell me where is the post or explain how to modify underwater visibility in TWoS?

2 - There is a mod in the download section for a green underwater. Is it compatible with TWoS?

3 - Is there some compatible mod with crew informal clothes as "Das Boot" movie? I tried Pascal Uniforms and works fine, but is very "uniformed"...I like some informal clothes in my new rusty (Rusted Glory) boat...

Guten Abend Kaleuns, it's me again.

So, I'm running WoS 1.05 + WoS Patch 1.09 + Real Nav + Res Patch 8x5 + TDW's Sub Exhaust 1.05. at 100% Realism :o

Am currently heading back to Kiel after a successful 1st mission - 2 Merchants, 1 Gryf Minesweeper, 1 V&W Destroyer :cool:

However, some questions have arisen:

Q1 - Is it possible to start again but to actually sail from Kiel heading up to Danzig Bay? How is it done? Have looked briefly at KSD but it's nowhere near as sophisticated as SHCommander was :hmm2:

Q2 - When I switch to Free Camera the light quality darkens considerably, almost like putting sunglasses on. Any thoughts? :hmmm:

Q3 - Where is my Watch Crew? I can order Flak & Deck Gun crew to position and they appear. There is NO WATCH CREW no matter which officer I thump! Most non-immersive! :down:

Q4 - Possibly most important question. I CANNOT, either by key press of G, H, J or via mouse click on top right in-game icon menu thingy or via requisite officer, access the Crew, Systems or Weapons Management screens . . . How the f**k do I get in? :/\\!!

[palmic]

Q3 watch crew stops rendering after you alt tab from game.
The another thing which is happening if you are alt tabbing at surface is, that co2 is not counting after submerge.

Fix is easy - just restart the game and don't alt tab.

I was trying to merge SH 5 Longer Repair Times by Rongel and "R.S.D.- Reworked Submarine Damage" by vdr1981 into EUF v2.0

I am pretty sure I did something wrong because if a enemy unit even looked at me I sank with no chance of repair.

DC off bow where I shouldn't have taken damage.
Aft pitched down about 45 degree and started fading backward.
All hatches were closed and only the Aft Torpedo Room had flooding which was weird because the DC was about 25m in front of me when it blew.
Hit ahead flank slowed decent to 3 knots when the batteries suddenly went from 78% to ZERO.
Hit Blow ballast at 130m and stopped decent about 174m.
Then it began to slip away again and nothing was able to bring her back.
I lost her around 320m with another 148m more until bottom.

So, yeah. It really appears I hosed the merge attempt and had to back out the changes.
I'll let you guys put that stuff in.

EUF is one of the most important mods/fixes for SH5 and I'm looking forward for your fresh improvements. :yep:

When you are done with it I could compare EUF 1.4 and 2.0 files and try to implement all the changes, if possible.

This could be tough job though because those UPCGE files are real brain boiling things...:doh::)

It would be very helpful though if you would also add few author's description/notes lines in UPCGE files, just to make merging easier...:yep:

Don't expect too much precision from RAOBF though. Measurement errors could be quite significant when dealing with distant targets...:yep:

[Tonci87]

Guys, what is the best way to repair damage?

I just died because a destroyer fired at me from like 7km away and the first shell immediatelly hit me in the forward compartment. A shell out of the second salvo hit the engine room. Sank to the bottom at 100m and from there on the sub kept taking damage until I died. Repair crews apparently didn´t do much.

I think Destroyers might be a tad too accurate at long range

idk if looks better or nope but gap's dynamic env. is the most used and is really good made and is compatible with all other mods which one is really important ...........

Hi,

I have a question regarding mines. Do they make a sound on the hydrophone? I just avoided one and now I hear noises coming from where I avoided it. It's a loud short sound that repeats quickly.

I've just come across the sound again. This time I recorded it.

I'm not sure..Could be a sound glitch...Or maybe even an Easter egg from some of the mods...:hmm2:

[ThaFr0ggy]

I heard this sound in many different places. Once I heard it on the west coast of great britain and couldn't see anything on the bearing it came from then in the baltic after the taskforce was sunk by allied bombers and I closely avoided a mine. This time it was on my way out of scapa flow. Maybe it came from a ship that I sunk in scapa flow?:hmmm:

[Taki1980]

Now i got my Bearings, Real Navigation, 4 Bearings Method, U-Jagdtools and RAOBF running and know how to use it im actually playing the Campaign with the "Fall weiß" the Attack on Poland.

Some Questions on that Mod still rising that i cant find in Documentations, Tutorials or the FAQs or the Links that are posted here.

1. How far off the Coast are the Shiplanes drawn on that Shiplane Mod? How far is a Merchant or Convoy usually off the Coast? Do they drive in sight of the Coast for better navigation? Or further out? Is there a diffrence or do they drive all pretty close those lanes?

2. Is there a Map where i can see the Depth under Keel better? How you do this without using that Sonar Ping?

3. Last time i installed a Modpack (must be Sobers Megamod) i had a Mod working where i could identify Targets Type and Speed by counting the RPM of the Screws as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahK4YelByDw. Is this working with the WoS Mod? Or can i add it somehow because it is really immersive for me.

4. The Documentation of the WoS Mod is confusing me. After reading through lots of the Readme there are different Ranges mentioned for the GHG and KBD Hydrophones. Wich once are right? For ex. Some say 40km Range for the GHG some say 60km. What values are right?

5. Is there some Chart where i can get a feeling on when the Enemy "might" see me? I got absolutly now clue how close i can get on a Target at Night on surface. I know the Factors Own Machinesound, Weather, etv. but absolutly no rough Ideas. Can you give me Rules of Thumb for that? Are Merchant and Warships diffrent?

6. How long is a Warship/Merchant on alert and doing Zig/Zag or Searching Patrol until he gets back on his "Slow, traveling" Mode with not such much Lookouts on Deck?

Lots of QUestions i know. But cant find Info on this.

Vecko Hi, I'm fighting now in January 1941 and I would say that there is an error in the Mediterranean ports on the Axis. I'm not sure, but I would say that the islands of Kos, Rhodes etc. at that time were the Axis ports, but they were neutral.

No...Because I don't find prospect of ship speed determination just by listening it's propeller noise very realistic...This would be rather exploit of limited number of different ships types and variations in SH games...On top of that, the mod is not compatible with latest OHII and it can destabilize the game...

You will hardly find direct answers on your questions because what you ask depends of many, many different factors...You'll learn in time... oooor you will rage quit and go back to SH3/4 where things are much more certain and predictable, like many did...:)

[Taki1980]

I never really played. Sh3 :) Will stick with Sh5.

Okay so the Hydro RPM Mod is unrealistic. Ill accept that. Wont play with it.

But maybe you can give me a rough estimate from your Playing Experience on those Questions. Just some Rough guessing would help me.

You've saw this tip right?:hmm2:

- If you enable "Show highlighted sensor region" TAI map options with OFEV, you will be able to observe how AI actually sees and hears you depending of your speed, depth, profile, weather, time of day ect...Very useful for "Submarine school" training...

Yes, but couldnt find the Setting in Game

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Taki
How you want to play the game is up to you whether being realistically or not.
You need to gain experience and understanding as you grow into the game before venturing into more difficult levels.
If you make the game too difficult without the experience you will give it up and look for something else.
You can use the charts if you find them useful but not the mod.

1939, British east coast. A destroyer followed me around the clock, constant distance 10km. Needless to say, it shouldn't be able to see me, at least not in the dark. It never attacked. Is this a known TWoS bug?

It never attacked. Is this a known TWoS bug?

No, not a TWoS bug. A SH5 vanilla version bug. Usually saving the game, restarting the game I heard will clear that ship.

That could be a single ship contact report. They are only shown on the map and not logged in Cpt log... Since I use real navigation those radio contacts are invisible for me.:yep:

Hm, one more reason to make real navigation inherent part of TWoS. It's somewhat complicated like this, for me and for players ...:hmm2:

No, cfg file has nothing to do with it.

I bet that ship has 0 surface draught set in it's sim file. That's why it will be bugged sometimes in the campaign. Surface draught has to be concrete number in order to avoid this...

DisplacementVariation in cfg file is something else...

Ok thanks i understand now but is there anyway to change it so the colors show?

Hi Luc!
I considered that the mod "TWOS contact color" in TWOS can be a kind of cheat, so I decided to delete it.


P.S. Sorry for my english language

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Torpedo
Being able to put the map contact colors back as an option is a very useful additional mod for the gamer who has less experience or likes to play with the Wind & Smoke mod and for the Auto TDC gamer.
Whilst TWOS is designed to be played realistically at 100% this I expect will only be achievable by a minority of gamers.
I agree with Vecko that adding additional mods to his mega mod is an accident waiting to happen unless you really know what you are doing.
I think in this case IMO an exception should be made.
Thank you on behalf of those who really need or want this to be able to continue enjoying their game.

Hi all!
I considered that the mod "TWOS contact color" in TWOS can be a kind of cheat, so I decided to delete it.

I would to try your contacts colours mod. I´m relatively a noobie in TWoS and some "simplification" is good for me. Totally I support the post of Berbster about your mod. Could you upload it?

Many thanks and best regards.

no offense but seems that u have mist


*DO NOT add any additional mods if you are not 100% sure what you are doing or you may induce all kind of stability and gameplay related issues!
Keep in mind that most of the standalone mods outhere are incompatible with this expansion .

[KaleuJona]

no offense but seems that u have mist

no, i knew that. I know, what the other mods do and that they are compatible.
They all are NO Standalone Mods, but addons to DynEnv or WoS.
Only Naight's Textures is Standalone, but it IS compatible

No offense, but before you complain that TWOS isn´t working properly I would suggest you try to run SH with only TWOS enabled. If the problem is still there you might have a bug, if it is sudfdenly fixed then one of the additional mods is responsible.

Hi T87
Excellent advice.:up:

I reenabled WoS and all other mods i use..... Problem solved

Silent Hunter 5 works in mysterious ways :D

[fitzcarraldo]

Question:

In the SDBSM sound mod thread I read this answer by Vecko about the use of this mod in TWoS:

"DBSM-music is already in the megamod.
If you wish to use DBSM-Speech then remove sh.sdl file from it."

Is it valid for the last version and patch of TWoS?

Only removing the sh.sdl file from SDBSM and is it full compatible with TWoS?

Many thanks and best regards!

Could it be, that Alt+Tab causes the problem to happen?

[Sjizzle]

Where do I find the Submarines in the SOAN/recognition manual, searched it all through, didn't find them.....

[MCM]

most ships are grey with almost no texture... but when I get very near suddenly the ship gets a (quite dark) texture and looks nice. What can that cause?

I have normal TWOS without additional mods. (nvidia with 4AA and 4AF)

[vanjast]

Is there an alternative download site or torrent... MediaFire is not giving me any pleasure

My best suggestion: use the graphic controls of the game and not Nvidia control panel or Inspector. With the inside game controls, I have beautiful and candy graphics.

I noted Nvidia GC don´t like very much SH5...
