[REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

[palmic]

Test version will be available on following link in several hours...Spread the word and sink 'em all! :up:

Time to start new Carrier :up::arrgh!:

[Elphaba]

I've searched but can't easily find the answers, so sorry if it's a duplicate.

Problem 1:

I've started a new career, but all the TDW UI or even the standard UI is completely missing.

Problem 2:

I can't even click on the yellow 'i' to show the task. It registers the click but nothing is displayed.

Problem 3:

Is there someway to modify the mod before activating it to stop it replacing the english language NPC feedback with the german. I want to play 'realistically' but I don't speak German and I don't want to. I think this should be optional and not forced because it adds nothing to gameplay, but I can see how for some people it might fall under 'immersion'.

Problem 4:

Is there a way to customise the keyboard shortcuts because my keyboard doesn't have the arrow / page / home / number pad keys.

Problem 5:

Can I start a new career without having to do the 'tutorial' mission first? And yes, I"ve checked that the XML file has been changed as per the install directions.

Problem 6:

In the stock game, you do the tutorial and then head straight to Kiel and then get a briefing. Am I right in saying that's been removed and instead I hunt for polish shipping until some point instead?


Thanks

For most of your questions just completely uninstall SH5 and delete whole directory after and reinstall it step by step from tutorial in first post of this thread :salute:

The TWoS mod is very stable and just about every problem that people encounter is due to not following the install instruction precisely. The tutorial cannot be started or played with any mods but it must be started to initiate the required files in the SH5 folder in My Documents which is where all future player and campaign info is stored. Once the tutorial has started and you exit out of the game, the CareerHistory.cfg in the My Documents SH5 folder can be modified to read: HasCompletedTutorial=true. This is when the Main.cfg file can also be modified as per the install instructions. Make sure that the Main TWoS mod is installed in the Silent Hunter 5 main directory...all other mods then are install in the MODS folder that is created when you activate JSGME.

This is also when you activate the Generic Patcher and install the provided snapshot. The TWoS mod relies on the correct application of the Generic Patcher to function correctly. THEBURBSTER tutorials has all the info on just about every SH5 subject so have a look through the material because it is an invaluable resource for everything SH5. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=211804

I will upload the English voices for you that you can install with JSGME when you have your TWoS install sorted and will add the link to this post when it has finished uploading. (128 MB) I will also give you a link to my version of the OFEV TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py which has the UI set up to mouse in/out (you'll have to change the U-boat Number and Captain's name) and also my version of the Generic Patcher snapshot which bypasses Uplay. Put them in the MODS folder and activate them with JSGME in the bunker before starting a new campaign if you want to try them. You will still have to use the Generic Patcher to activate the snapshot. Creating a shortcut on you desktop for the OFEV and Generic Patcher can make life easier. Also make sure that the required pathways to the requested files is correct for both of these applications.

If you install everything correctly, keyboard bindings are not a problem because everything you need to do can be accessed through the UI. If you own a microphone, Speech recognition adds a whole new dimension to the game and the only thing you need a keyboard for is to walk around. I use Speech Recognition_MiTons_NewUI_Editon_v0.4.1_english which can be found in the Subsim downloads section.

English Voices:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/kwubay2byactw14/English_Voices.zip

My Generic Patcher snapshot:

My User Options py
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ymhmui40vi48hgt/My_User_Options_py.zip

Extract the files into the MODS folder and activate with JSGME.

I am running TWoS 1.05 and have downloaded the new 1.06 but I am not sure how to install it.
Do I have to reinstall SH5 and them TWoS 1.06 or can I use JSGME to uninstall 1.05 and then use it to install 1.06?
Thanks in advance

It's usually best to install the main TWoS mod on a pristine version of the game because the mod content, which includes JSGME.exe, KSDCommander.exe, TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0 etc is installed into the main SH5 directory. You will then find TWoS 1.06 Part 1 and Part 2, Real Nav, Encrypted BDU orders etc which you install using JSGME. It makes life easier if you copy and keep a pristine version of your Silent Hunter 5 v1.2 and store it somewhere in another folder. That way it's just a matter of copy and paste when you need to start with a new install. I'm still using the SH5 folder in My Documents from TWoS v1.05 without a problem since installing v1.06

Passive sonar on surface?

I posted this in the AI thread but wanted to get some opinions from here as well.

OK I have been testing the artificial intelligence in the wolves of steel mod with all the cheats on so I can see how the AI are detecting me. What I discovered I would like to bring to light because I'm not sure it's accurate or realistic at all.

I am in a campaign mission outside of a convoy that is escorted by two destroyers. It is mid-1940s so there is no radar. My AI cheats (drawn circles on the map ) show that I am entering the zone where the AI can hear me with its sonar/hydrophones when [B]Im on the surface[B] in 15 m/s wind at one third power from 4300 meters away at night! Granted there is no fog at all but there is overcast and we are talking at night with 15 m/s wind.

Now maybe on a calm, still night with maybe some fog A destroyer MIGHT be able to hear me from a dead stop if it wasn't making any engine noise itself and I was very close and high-power but certainly not from a destroyer with its own engine noises and certainly not from 4300 meters away!

I didn't think that the destroyers passive sonar was capable of detecting submarines on the surface just like as if they were underwater.

So I tested some more and waited until heavy fog. The destroyer had no problem following me around in the zero visibility and I have to guess it was only my engine noises on the surface. This is rather absurd. He couldn't see me because outside his vision circle and I was on the surface and I couldn't see him.

Can this be adjusted? I just don't find it feasible that a submarine engine on the surface could be heard from 4300 m away at one third power in 15 m/s wind.

Thoughts?

About to start my SH5 career at last. TWoS looks extremely impressive and I'm currently in process of downloading/installing it.

First things first, does Das Boot Sound Mod for SH5 work with this?

I get encrypted messages too with the mod disabled. Decoded a couple of them and concluded that I got two identical messages within an hour. One of them was encrypted the other was not. So it seems like i'm not missing any orders anyway.

Hi to all, sorry for bad english and double post.
I just take the VII C but the skins don't work, only Nozaurio's. I save/reload 200km from the port, but nothing. I tried the camo skins but I see a the camo on turret only and not at all the Tarnmate. What's wrong?

Because of my revision of all imported dat objects , this megamod version should bi significantly more stable than anything before. You'll noticed that American airplane rooster now misses several airplane types (I used British planes to fill the gap) but also I've added several new merchant types from SH4/SH3...

Some environmental units still may be problematic in certain situations (ex. buoys, mines) so make sure to save the game when approaching or leaving the areas where these units can be encountered, just like before ( all in game ports, coastal waters, narrow straights ect...). Further more, one full game restart in mentioned areas should decrease any possible CTD chances practically to 0...

Changes will be visible only after fresh Campaign start.

(SH ME sucks bigtime)

I agree. Dunno how many times we need to enter mission date, yet we need to edit it manually in the mis file if we want to be sure that the date is the one desired :doh:

[Warham]

Good job as usual )

I have a question about traffic. Is it realistic for your knowledge of that war? Or maybe you make traffic more for playability. For my self i want real traffic that my results were close to real.

[Justy]

Wow, having been away form any SH game for the past 4+ years and with winter coming and snow and being stuck indoors... I decided to look for something "new" to play with. Seeing SH4 and 5 were still on my drive I decided to get them up and running with Win10 if I could. No problems! :Kaleun_Applaud:

I then saw this mod recommended in the sig of one of the mods here and came here to check it out. Outstanding! Got 1.05 installed and running. My current "issue" is I've forgotten so much of the game play and to do manual targeting, well, saying I suck is putting it mildly. :) Anyone know of a tutorial for newbies with this mod for manual targeting? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I'm also still impressed with this community and how well it thrives and continues to work on these games. Cheers all!:Kaleun_Cheers:

Do you mean "traffic" like sea traffic lines or ship types and appearance ect ?

[Warham]

Do you mean "traffic" like sea traffic lines or ship types and appearance ect ?

I mean the number of ships and convoys in the sea and as a consequence of a chance to cross them.

[vdr1981]

I mean the number of ships and convoys in the sea and as a consequence of a chance to cross them.

I would say that it realistic enough and within "realistic limits" provided by campaign files, given the circumstances of unscripted and random nature of SH5/OHII/TWoS campaign files. We can not expect to have complete reconstruction of WW2 sea traffic (that would be impossible and not very useful frankly speaking)

However, due to random and unscripted nature of campaign some illogicality are still possible, like occasional luck provoking enemy (read Polish) ships in Kiel canal early in the war, German supply ships in English channel in the late war ect...

From what I have learned so far, WW2 seas were pretty busy place with constant shipping traffic all over the world, somewhere/sometimes more, somewhere/sometimes less and SH files simulate this very well IMO. The fact that U-boat commanders had difficulties to locate this traffic is completely different story and it can be related to various factors, like Enigma code brake, inadequate air reconnaissance support ect...

If you check TWoS log files and my campaign improvements readme documentation you will find a lot intuitive tweaks which should enhance overall campaign realism...:yep:

Here's some of them...


- Remaining anchored allied shipping will be packed inside harbor perimeters in order to protect them from underwater torpedo attacks (this wont be always the case with American harbors BTW:))
- Removed player's ability to take provision (aka torpedo and fuel) in every "blue" coastal "willage" outhere. Only historically correct bases will be able to support U-Boat operations within a certain date span...
- Contacts reports probability variations dependent of war period/campaign. Probability will increase until mid war and than it will went down again in order to simulate number of U-boats available, Luftwaffe engagement in SSSR, Enigma code cracking ect...
- Revised/decreased convoys/traffic spawn frequency.
- Revised/decreased taskforces/warships spawn frequency.
- Revised/better distributed convoys/traffic speeds. By defauly, speeds were almost always 6 or 9 kn; Now, Slow convoys ~5-6kn, fast convoys 9-10kn and all others 5-9 kn with tendency to slower speeds.
- Higher speeds for troop transport convoys, 10-15 kn (all campaigns except MG).
- All airbases in opening CW campaign from "veteran" to "competent" in order to simulate less trianed airman crews.
- Convoys formation density is set to vary from 700m-900m of spacing between columns/rows (by default always 900m). These settings will best match historical convoy formations records provided by GAP and by various aerial photos/videos of WWII Atlantic convoys.
- Medium and small size merchants should now make majority in British coastal and slow moving convoys (with letter "S" at the and in convoy designation, MKS,ONS ect...).
- Units/warships skill variations dependent of war period/campaign, from Competent to Elite...
- Added internal cargo option for sea traffic (which will match external cargo settings most of the time).

Some environmental units are still problematic (mines and buoys) so make sure to save the game when approaching the areas where these units can be encountered, just like before ( all in game ports, coastal waters, narrow straights ect...)

Note that the test version should be savegame compatible but any changes will be visible only after fresh Campaign start or advancement to the next campaign chapter...

Congratulations on the new release. Could you explain more in detail the "silent running state" on the surface? What parameter did you tweak and does this affect the underwater hydrophone detection abilities of the escorts.

Thank you

This may be a dumb question but do the difficulty settings dictate enemy AI? I'm playing on realistic and the enemies race around like speed boats (metaphorically speaking). Should I tone it down a notch, maybe play on medium? Or do the difficulty settings even affect the actual "difficulty" of the game?
Also, I really suck at torpedo solutions. Actually I more or less point and shoot LOL. Does the TDC have an auto solution setting? I really want to enjoy this game but, may sound like a cop-out, I just find everything way to "manual" and incredibly frustrating. I'm on my 4th patrol and have only sank 1 ship and shot down 4 aircraft. But BDU says I'm doing a great job! :haha:
Thanks for any advice.

[Husksubsky]

Note that the test version should be savegame compatible but any changes will be visible only after fresh Campaign start or advancement to the next campaign chapter...


Should be compatible.. I really wanna continue my campaign but would love enigma and especially hearing slow ships.:hmmm: Can I find 1.05 17 somewhere? or maybe pancake those mods on top of my 1.05 15
Apart from that..Big thanks for your work Vecko.

A little heads up from some memory discussion some pages back where a 4 gb gpu was mentioned. If Im not mistaken a gpu memory actually eats/mirrors in the system RAM and thus could a big gpu memory actually give more trouble instead of less. Pls correct this if anyone are hardcore hardware experts.

[verganojoda23]

can anyone pls upload or transfer me the enigma machine mod_ i have my own mod list and i only need to add the enigma machine to make it perfect, ill share it later, but i want to know if it is possible..
thank you for your time and effort!

Hello mate,

All you need to do is simple:
Go to attack scope
Lock on the target - SPACE
Answer to XO question according TDC - Never Mind
Select the tube, speed of desired torpedo
Flood the tube
Unlock the target - Space
Pointh the scope to the part you whant to hit
Fire
If you need, you may fire seccond torpedo at another part of the target - no more locks needed.

People who use original Silentmichal's interior mod 1.2.4+hotfixb, note that I have confirmed once again that this mod , in combination with TWoS, will lower overall game stability and cause CTD in one of mine tests. This can be especially noticeable with type VIIC.

However, it appears that the very same mod which contains The Beast's modifications and fixes (silentmichal's interior mod 1.2.4 - No Food and Fixes (http://www.mediafire.com/file/7ny3kbiz7c6o8dv/MODS_Updated_byTheBeast.rar)) has no effect on game stability and I'm seriously thinking about adding this version of this awesome mod to TWoS 1.06. :yep:

Does this mean that we can rig for silent running on surface and it makes a difference on how far out the escorts car hear us with their ears?

Vecko,

Yes, but noise signature will be somewhat reduced only for slow speeds up to 6-7 knots or so. That's the best I can do...
I've also learned that "orange" hydro zone indicator is not so accurate after all , especially if you test detection ranges with veteran/elite escorts (not entirely sure but it seems so in some situations).

You may wish to edit IRAI Init.aix file in order reduce/tweak escorts ability maximums. Tell us if you manage to find "golden middle"...:yep:

Ahhh! I've been waiting for ages to have this mod incorporated in TWoS since the first release. I've always wanted to try getting the officers to sit at the dining table at meal times. Helmsman and dive plane operator animations could be used with the officers heads, cloths etc to get them sitting down etc. Just need to find out if scripts can be set up with time as a precondition. We really need those Granny tools (c'mon guys...chuck a couple of bucks into the https://www.gofundme.com/2fdrwjg to make this possible) to be able to view the animations! Even the number of crew slots could be tweaked by scripting all required slots to appear in the one room, when your avatar is looking in that particular room giving the impression of many more crew members. It would give so much atmospherics to have crews off watch all sitting down and eating their meals in their various stations...:yep:

I would just like to chime in to say that way too many of the merchants burn when hit by torpedo. Almost all of the ships sunk in World War II that were not tankers never caught fire. There was always an dull thud and a large column of water and then wrecked deck plates and flooding but very very rarely any fires.

In SH3 NYGM got this correct and I hope SH5 can do the same.:Kaleun_Salute:

You can try to disable some fire effects in Zone.cfg file by adding ";" in front of line with effect definition.

Hello everyone, I may not have searched the forums enough, but I keep getting CTD when I try to bring stuff up like the UZO, Sextant, and others that I will remember later. I have the steam version of SH5 but I have gone through and got TWoS to work for the most part. Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction?


Edit: Nevermind, found a typo in a .cfg file...everything ship-shape and back to sea.

Some questions:
1) Is there snow in TWoS?
2) Are there mines?
3) Does crew have summer and winter uniform? Or maybe there are another mods for this.

[allandidonifajardo]

hello kamarades , i am using silent hunter 5 with wolves of sttel 1.06 megamod and generic patcher and i have 2 questions :
1 - any solution for 21;9 ultrawide displays ?
2 - i finished baltic operations and start breaking the fortress (09-11-1939) but baltic operations appears on going .... why ?? a bug ??

thanks kamarades

[Warham]

There is a mod for that, cant remember the name though...:yep:
Then i have an idea. I can replace models and textures for crew uniform
depending on time in the game by ksdcommander.

And maybe there is some mod which replace rain textures to snow. Then I can make auto replace for it too.

And i want to say that AI and DM of uboot is very good in this modpack. My brave captain Paul van Dyk died today. After the deep bomb explosion the boat started to sink and sat down on the bottom on 150 meters. I tried to surface and surrender but not enough compressed air. And then re-hit the bottom and sank. For the memory of my captain and my crew this awesome foto which made near Narvik in april 1940:

http://i82.fastpic.ru/big/2016/1021/9f/144cc8029017b4d556a862f327b2bd9f.png

[vdr1981]

1 - any solution for 21;9 ultrawide displays ?
Hm, no...Since I can't select such resolution in order to tweak camera file...It has to be done by user.

2 - i finished baltic operations and start breaking the fortress (09-11-1939) but baltic operations appears on going .... why ?? a bug ??

No, not a bug...

Then i have an idea. I can replace models and textures for crew uniform

Keep your ass out of gun sight? :D

Just kidding..Hard to say, in TWoS some hull damages are not repairable at all without dry dock (aka end patrol in bunker) . Cheef's special abilities and battle stations state should speed up repairs a bit though...DOnt forget to disable all silent state commands when you wish to stop the flooding. Dont use TC more than x2 when laying on the sea bed (or dont use TC at all)

[vdr1981]

Because of my revision of all imported dat objects , this megamod version should bi significantly more stable than anything before. You'll noticed that American airplane rooster now misses several airplane types (I used British planes to fill the gap) but also I've added several new merchant types from SH4/SH3...

Some environmental units are still problematic (mines and buoys) so make sure to save the game when approaching or leaving the areas where these units can be encountered, just like before ( all in game ports, coastal waters, narrow straights ect...). Further more, one full game restart in mentioned areas should decrease any possible CTD chances practically to 0...

Note that the test version should be savegame compatible but any changes will be visible only after fresh Campaign start or advancement to the next campaign chapter...If everything is OK with this one I think we are ready for new official TWoS v 1.06...

- Adjusted Campaign files in order to meet new changes.
- Adjusted player's new sub offers date intervals in order to avoid CTD resulting "collisions" between certain submarine types and some problematic sea units (VIIC available after early 1941, U-FLaK early 1943, VIIC41 mid 1943)
- Removed faulty submarine paints/coating upgrade packs and edited description for some (ex. player will be noted if paint is applied only to conning tower or if upgrade only works with certain tower type ect). Edited point costs.
- Few tweaks in cfg files responsible for AI detection abilities.
- "Silent running/state" ability is now available on surface too in order to compensate a bit for increased hearing abilities of escorts when sub is surfaced.
- Fixed game freeze when R2 node radars (rotating) is destroyed while rotation is active.
- Revised non-scripted campaign agents report in order to decrease expressed possibility of upcoming event and to simulate counterintelligence operations but at the same time to give player rough picture of current sea traffic state (ex. "Agents report, Convoy HX1, possible departure from...")

RC3
- Fixed occasional duplicated words in radio message files.
- Crash dive command set to 150m.
- Removed old Generic patcher files from Aplications folder (not to create confusion with valid files).

Vecko: Many thanks for the RC3. Yesterday I installed the RC2 and today RC3, so started a new campaign in the Mediterranean. All OK, now cruising to the dangerous waters. Normally I used low TC.

Seeing the Museum, only I have problems in the German roster, when starts the view of Uboats. After the Hospital ship, the Museum CTD.

All others rosters and nations, working OK, without CTDs. First time I could see many ships in SH5 without crashing.

But: is there a problem with the german AI Uboats? The Museum crashed with them.

Silentmichal interiors Beast version is working very well in Mediterranean. The normal version crashed the game in this scenery.

Awesome work!

Hi Vecko!
I just installed TWOS RC3 and the bulbs are out. I have the nVidia GTX 970 graphics card with the latest drivers and I know that this card was having problems so I installed the mod "nVidia missing lights" but the result is the same.
It is possible that others have the same problems with the nVidia graphics card?
To test I installed the mod "silentmichal's interior mod 1.2.3" and the bulbs are on. I do not know what to think.
This is the image with RC3. Do you think I can use one of the mods "silentmichal's interior 1.3 or 1.4" or these mods are incompatible with TWOS?

Well if you have TWOS 1.06 version then you definitely wont need to downgrade it with 1.05 update :)

Thou Im not sure if I need to dwnld TWOS 1.06 test version as my point 0 then to dwnld TWOS 1.06 RC3 as an update?

I think that removing the mod is not an option because I have already done a lot of testing with it and generally, SM interior is probably the most wanted feature in TWoS...

[whiskey111]

Did WoS should have an additional table containing speed/time/range calculator ?
I am almost sure that in previous version I could find it but I am missing it now when I press E key.

I think that the only solution to the dull light bulbs and for those who have a recent nvidia graphics card is to activate the mod "silentmichal's interior mod 1.2.4 and 1.2.4b" or "silentmichal's interior mod 1.2.3" after RC3 . However I would use "silentmichal's interior mod 1.2.4 - No Food and Fixes" as a stand alone mod that can only be activated if it works with your system, because seeing the dinner table but did not see more 6 light bulbs is not nice.
So I think to make a stand alone mod to restore the standard uboat paint that replaces "Rusted Glory", as soon as you arrive in Kiel, when there is a month's time to update and improve the uboat and leave for the mission to Scapa Flow . This mod is very easy to do and I have already done.
These are just my suggestions.:timeout:

So I think to make a stand alone mod to restore the standard uboat paint that replaces "Rusted Glory", as soon as you arrive in Kiel, when there is a month's time to update and improve the uboat and leave for the mission to Scapa Flow . This mod is very easy to do and I have already done.
These are just my suggestions.:timeout:

I don't get you there...You can paint your sub with tiger stripes even in Memel harbor if you don't like the "rust". To expensive maybe? Should I lower the price of initial VIIA paint upgradepacks?

Anyone can tell if "SH_Keymapper" mod is 1.06 compatible?

Or if there is other way to have hydrophone function "follow nearest contact" bind to a key?

Hi Vecko!
certainly with pleasure I can test "silentmichal's interior mod 1.2.4 and 1.2.4b"... If I remember there was a problem when the mission ended, you could not see the uboot, but it might be less of a problem... The important thing that does not make the CTDs! But the captains who have an updated nvidia graphics card can see the uboot with its lights, with the dinner table and the lamp that moves. Maybe there are too many salami ...
As for Rusted Glory I have explained badly. It's fine that the uboot starts at Memel with rusted paint because it's got an immediate order to leave for Danzig and then the captain must immediately carry out the order to end the mission in the state that is the uboot... I thought that when the captain arrived in Kiel could also have the idea of giving a clean to her beloved uboot seen that there is a few days to repair and upgrade the uboot... It almost seems like the story of a picture ...

I think the camo paint should stay as it is, but you should make the training paint dirt cheap, it doesn´t get used very much otherwise...

With silent michael's interior mod 1.2.4 and 1.2.4b in the radio room, I see two lighted bulbs, near the left side of the radar and over the radio operator and all other lights are on.
In radio room all bulbs are working.
But I have to make a new career... Saved games that I have been are made with RC2... For now I have tested with a historic mission and it is all ok, also the end of the historic mission.

Exactly, only with RC3 and without any silentmichal's interior mod 1.2.4 and b, all the bulbs are off in QR1: dining table, radioman, sonarman, captain's room and the others bulbs.

Well, that would require more serious work and maybe even TDW gr2 editor (wich I'm not quite familiar with) and more testing, but if all goes OK, why not. Maybe in future versions...:yep:

Do me a one more favor please... Remove texture folder from last fix and check in the game do lights still work...:yep:

Was that the last version of the updated mod by TheBeast? The version I have is called just "Room_QR1" and comes with the options for no food and also for food not to vanish over time.

I agree that all features of great SM mod looks great but you guys have to understand that sometimes even smallest change in gr2 or sim files can cause unexplained conflicts and CTDs in certain situations, especially if the game is heavily modded and has lot of imported dat units. That's why I'll have to go with light version of this awesome SM mod. If I have to chose between swinging salami and more imported merchants, I chose ships...That's exactly what is going on here... :yep:

Hi Vecko!
Perhaps I have found a way to have the lamp over the dinner table:

I found the TheBeast mod "Room_QR1" that contains two other mods.
The mods are to be activated in this way:

Room_QR1
Room_QR1_No_Food
SMInt_NFnF_Nvidia Lights Fix 2 (your mod)
nVidia missing lights (this mod for nVidia graphics card)

For me it has to eliminate the halo of the lamp above the dinner table.

Just want to say thank you for this mega mod.

However I have a couple of questions/requests regards one or two features, the speech and some text -

As I don't speak or read German fluently (I'm English), I only know a couple of key words and phrases, is there anyway I can change the speech back to English speech? It seems odd to have a mix of English and German being spoken, and also how can the text on for example the Sub Systems page be changed back to English?

Is there also a way to get rid of the annoying "plotting course, returning to course" speech every time I plot a course on the maps (I'm guessing it's just a matter of replacing the sound files with "empty" ones?

Also is there a tutorial on using the the Enigma machine for decoding messages? I've done a quick search, here and on Google, but have drawn a blank.

And lastly - there were sound mods made for SH3 (which also worked in SH4) which added actual speech (in English, but also available in German) taken from the Das Boot movie, and other ambient sounds such as the sound of the captain and crew going through the dive routine. Are there any plans to include such sounds in this mega mod (do they even exist for SH5, and apologies if it's already included, I may have overlooked it)?

Thanks.

The German voices are meant to add ambience to the game and whatever is spoken in that language is translated to English in the message box and Ships log. If you really want to change this back to English without reinstalling SH5, (there is a language option available during installation) use the link below to download file and extract into the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS folder and install with JSGME after the TWoS 1.06 mods. This file is from the "vanilla" SH5 v1.2

If you use the Real Nav option in TWoS, you should never hear those phrases. :yep:


Also is there a tutorial on using the the Enigma machine for decoding messages? I've done a quick search, here and on Google, but have drawn a blank.

Here is an excellent tutorial by POTUS (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTvkM4PsuYNIRqA_O3HznXUaJ5APcWhKW) regarding the Enigma machine. There is also a manual which can be found in the TWoS documentation found in you main SH5 root directory here: C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\The Wolves of Steel - Documentation\ENIGMA M4 by SkyBaron\SkyBaron's Enigma M4 manual 1.02.pdf

Many of the sounds from the various sound mods are included in TWoS but in such a way to keep the game stable. Make certain that you follow the installation instructions for TWoS in the first post of this thread and also check out this tutorial by TheNorseCast (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCXGyzkyFk9fbgJIUetdPGD8RNLQJr48H) on YouTube here:

[Raven Morpheus]

Thanks for the voices, but I'm sure there are some extra ones, not in the vanilla set, added that are in German. I have Sober's speech fix and additional voices mode in English which I could install if that's what has been used.

I don't mind voices in the background being in German (hence the reason I asked about the Das Boot stuff available for SH3/SH4), for ambience, it's just the key speech I'd prefer in English - I tend to keep the message box minimised and out of the way so a translation in there isn't all that helpful and I find it's rather disjointed to hear the guy who sends the weather reports (is Benno the sonar guy or the radio guy?) speaking in English most of the time and then German all of a sudden - I think there's one message where he speaks in English but uses the German word for bearing during the message!.

I don't use real nav, I'm not that hardcore a player.

I'll watch that vid by Potus, the Enigma machine and coded messages seem like a interesting addition to the game. I was hoping to decode the first message you get before you are told to go to Kiel, but unfortunately the game doesn't save the radio messages and when you reload a save (as I have) you don't see previous radio messages so I've lost that one. Guess I'll have to wait for the next one.

[kevinsue]

Thanks for the voices :up:
Adding other mods to TWoS is not recommended as you can easily reintroduce instabilities back into the game and undo all the work the vdr1981 has done to make this mod dependable and stable.

You need to create a "Ships Journal" in the main SH5 UI before you start your patrol or otherwise before you start your last savegame. After you have started a Ship's Journal, it will update and save each time you exit to the main SH5 UI. If you exit directly to Windows, the journal will not be updated. If you want to import a previous Super mark or Nav marks etc, you can do this by using the import tab on the Ship's Journal. Make sure you don't have the "Read Journal entries" box selected otherwise you will end up with multiple entries of the same thing.:D

[Raven Morpheus]

I know, adding stuff adds instabilities, it's just that I like all my important speech to be in English (I don't mind a German accent, in fact that's preferable) but I also like the Das Boot background speech and effects I've got in SH3 and Sh4. I note from the list of mods on the 1st page that the Das Boot music mod is used, but not anything else Das Boot, and looking at the files in TWoS there are files that are added that aren't in the vanilla speech files (there's a couple for the sonar guy - MC_RR_HIDRO_117.ogg in the "normal" folder for example). Wish I could shut the speech up altogether when using the Harbor Pilot scripts though, boy does it get annoying!

I'll create a ships journal and start again, I seem to have broken my campaign a little anyhow as when I got to Kiel I couldn't get a mission so I started a patrol anyway, then ended it immediately, knowing it would advance time and hopefully force the campaign to update properly. Problem was the next set of missions available contained Breaking The Fortress, however the due date on that mission was before the date when I started my next patrol so there was no use taking that mission (The date I requested the mission (i.e. when I'm in port) was Sept 27th, BTF ends on Oct 5th, I set to sea on my next patrol on Oct 21st!!).

There was one other thing, I note that the "identify target" option has been removed from the WO.

Is there a shortcut key for that, has it been moved somewhere I'm not seeing, or can I put it back in (is it an OFEV option?)? As a non-hardcore player I find that really helpful in confirming my manual identification.

[kevinsue]

Ah right, how do I create a "ships journal"?

Just click on the "Ships Journal" tab in the main SH5 UI and type in a name for the journal...done. :D

Enable the TWoS "Wind and Smoke" additional mod with JSGME which has been placed in the MODS folder by the main TWoS install to enable the identify target option. Ensure the mod installation order is per http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=210703 :yep:

Oh OK, at least it's there somewhere then. I might leave it off and see how I go, I'm already supposedly running at 58% difficulty anyway according to the options screen (it was about 74% using Sober's Bonus Mod and the mod list I put together for myself), basically "Hard" but with the external and event cameras available - I like to watch ships sink from outside the sub and I like to see what happens under the water when my fish hit.

Now, this is a big one!:) I think that I have finally made it in my attempt to fix OHII mines and bouys so that they don't crash the game anymore (CTD when nearing the ports, coastal waters if you don't restart the game ect).

Working on whales and dolphins now...I have isolated strange conflict with just one unit (new SH3 medium bulk cargo). Even I don't manage to get rid of this conflict, v 1.06 I going to be, most definitely, more stable then any other SH5 modlist before because chances to reproduce my CTD test scenario in regular campaign play through will be very slim ...:yep:

Hey!

I have installed the full megamod on two of my computers, one on my laptop and one my desktop.

Everything works fine on my laptop, but on my desktop I have this issue with the TAI map being positioned way too high up on the screen. The second issue is that when I have the ship recognition manual up, there is a white frame that sometimes fills with a photo whenever I scroll through the different ships. It moves with the manual when I drag it around.

See screenshot here:

Hi Magjamer, Lower the screen resolution to something like 1920 x 1080, or don't move the SOAN so far to the right.

As for the TAI map click the round symbol just above the Depth command icons bar.

Hi Vecko!
With a little luck I could to eliminate the halo from the swinging lamp over the dinner table.

http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww281/Torpedo_01/lightbulbsandlamp2_zpspychft9b.jpg (http://s728.photobucket.com/user/Torpedo_01/media/lightbulbsandlamp2_zpspychft9b.jpg.html)

Thanks to the outstanding work of silentmichal and TheBeast, I think that the interior of the uboot is lightened by oranges, boxes and salami with the presence of a swinging lamp without an annoying halo. Now the uboot IMO is a little more agreeable. Thanks Vecko for your files that allowed the light bulbs are working.
If I think I can make a single mod from the mods that helped me so you can use this mod as you wish for a future release.

The message is the first one you receive when operating out of Memel, when near Poland, the one that I'm guessing reads something along the lines of attack anything coming out of Danzig port, but my Engima machine is translating it into gibberish. I've tried decoding it several times...


Here's a video showing what I'm doing (I gave up after a few blocks) -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WErRcrvOkmI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WErRcrvOkmI&feature=youtu.be)

What am I doing wrong there?

I translated the first two blocks in the above video from EQVI NXVG (using the month August) to KQHM AZIQ which when read vertical gives KHAI QMZQ and KHAI = 247.

BTW I've tried setting the "envelope" to August and September, and I've tried setting the "substitution chart" to August and September, I still get gibberish coming out whichever month I use.

I have TWoS 1.06 RC3 installed on a clean install of SH5 and the optional BDU encryption mod installed, I've even tried it with that optional mod not installed, I still get gibberish...

[R-T-B]

Are you using the date listed in the message rather than the actual received date? That's a must.

[kevinsue]

yes...you were using 1st September 1939. You need to use the date that the message was encrypted which is 31 August 1939.

[Raven Morpheus]

I've tried both dates. I get gibberish whichever date I use.

As another example I get a message (without the optional BDU encryption mod) in September (3rd I think), it was sent the same day by BDU. It reads -

DKUW BQGT GBFJ YRTS ICKH VLVW HVPO IMQV SGWP JJOH LLTTF SQVP
AZGK APBK BTBO HPSN MXYB URNX RVOF UHIL LUTZ IIPU DKUW BQGT


Now, if I use September (on all the charts) as the date I get YVLM QYOI, which read vertical gives YLQO and VMYI, LQO = 210 so it's a Hydra message. I follow the charts for setting the dials and plugs and then enter VMYI and finish setting the dials and input the rest of the message, but I still get gibberish coming out!



EDIT - OK I found out where I was going wrong, I used one of the example messages at the end of SkyBarons Enigma manual, loaded up the Tutorial TDC mission, and tried to decode it. I was neglecting to set the dials/plugs for the correct day. I had the right month, not the right day. DOH!!

Now that I know that I've been able to decode the original message I was trying to decode, just to make sure. Don't know about decoding the other two I received because I didn't make a note of the day they were sent (it was between the 3rd and 5th), any my journal doesn't seem to be saving messages properly, even if I manually save it during patrol!!

I'm going to restart anyway and re-enable the BDU encryption optional mod, now that I know where I was going wrong, hopefully this time I can make some progress, and get back to where I was - nearly finished Coastal Waters but with no missions being given (which is what prompted me to start looking at Sober's Mega Mod and then this mega mod)...

[Warham]

Some questions:
1) There is no crew management? Crew is immortal?
2) So i can use "battle alarm" (F7 button) mode always without penalties?
3) What is the maximum number of ships in convoy?

[Magjamer]

Hi Magjamer, Lower the screen resolution to something like 1920 x 1080, or don't move the SOAN so far to the right.

As for the TAI map click the round symbol just above the Depth command icons bar.

Thanks a lot sir, that worked! :up:

[kevinsue]

Now, this is a big one!:) I think that I have finally made it in my attempt to fix OHII mines and bouys so that they don't crash the game anymore (CTD when nearing the ports, coastal waters if you don't restart the game ect).

Working on whales and dolphins now...I have isolated strange conflict with just one unit (new SH3 medium bulk cargo). Even I don't manage to get rid of this conflict, v 1.06 I going to be, most definitely, more stable then any other SH5 modlist before because chances to reproduce my CTD test scenario in regular campaign play through will be very slim ...:yep:

About 10 days of game time left before starting a new campaign (Mare Nostrum). Any news on an ETA for the next release candidate? No pressure mind you!...Haha :D

I really don't like the exaggerated rust with the RUSTED GLORY part of TWoS, I can't seem to find a way to disable it. It doesn't show up in the TDW fileoptionviewer either..

Any tips?

I think you may be able to delete the textures folder in the main TWoS mod but I am not 100% certain that this will fix the problem. In real life much care was taken with not allowing degradation of the paint as per this item in the Kriegsmarine Submarine Commanders Handbook:

38.) The submerged submarine is most difficult to spot from the plane when all its horizontal surfaces are painted very dark. All other bright objects on the upper deck, as, for example, the insulators of the net wire, must have a coating of dark paint. In case of need, paint which has crumbled, or been washed off during the operations, must be replaced; for is purpose, a quantity of dark paint should always be available during operations.

Hi Magjamer,
Please, do not delete the textures folder in the main Twos mod because the texture folder contains 571 files where only 8 are Rusted Glory. The mod Rusted Glory have only eight files in Textures folder of TWOS and only for VIIA. The problem is solved by replacing the eight files with the original ones. I created a small mod to have since Memel the right original paint. You may choose to activate in Memel this mod, or when you reach Kiel, simulating with the maintenance and the upgrade at the dock also the maintenance of the paint. This is your choice, however, the mod can be activated on any mission because it only contains graphic files.
The mod is compatible JSGME.

I cooked up a little submod a while ago for my own use that removes the rust for those that hate it (like me). It seems to work and I have not noticed any side effects, though it uses stock textures on the hull exterior.

I uploaded it to the subsim downloads. Grab it here:

Bit of a dumb question but I note that inertia is more pronounced in TWoS, I kept over running my intended stopping point during play last night and had to keep going backwards...

How much of a distance should I leave (or add to my intended range to target) on average to "stop" in the spot I want to?

[LesBaker]

Hi Raven,
A difficult question to answer, It depends on the speed that you are approaching the target, which direction the current (or Tide) is coming from, your depth due to the salinity of the water that you are traveling through and it's temperature due to change of density.

You will have to use trial and error over several attacks to find what works best for your style of approach, I find what works best for me is to shut down engines at about 2000m to 1500m (depending on approach speed) from the target coarse line.

If the Boat does not seem to be coming to a halt at about 900m to 800m, then order reverse standard or full, when the Knot meter is just gone pass the 1.5 Knot mark, Order Engine Stop.

Just completed ‘Infiltrate a spy near Liverpool’.
A perilous journey deep in to enemy territory keeping radio silence while I dodge escorts and air patrols to deliver my human cargo to its destination.
I am 150 metres off the shore with 15m/s wind speed raging.
My WO tells me there is a ship short range bearing 357 degrees and I nearly crap myself.
Its the spy in the boat.
http://s22.postimg.org/44ninp8wx/image.jpg
Trust me, that was not funny, I thought I had had it.
Now I have to extricate my boat out of the danger zone and dodge the patrols between Holyhead and Liverpool.
My reward for this dangerous mission 1 Bonus Point.
I can sit in a patrol grid for 48 hours, do nothing and get 1 Bonus Point and, with the option to get another 2.
These dangerous and time consuming missions should be better rewarded.
Peter

[HW3]

:agree:

Because I successfully delivered a spy to Londonderry, they keep trying to send me back with another spy. We should get 3 Bonus Points at least for those hair raising missions.

Hey all, I'm really new to all of this. I have SH5 1.20 and I followed all of the instructions to get WoS working (1.0.5).

So, what's the deal with a missing 1.0.6 download? Is that getting fixed?

[kiwikid1940]

I'm running SH5 with TWoS 1.05 and forgot to back up my vanilla copy of SH5 before installing TWoS.!!!!
I want to do a full game installation and then install TWos 1.6 RC3 and need a little help in making sure I uninstall the correct way before reinstalling SH5 and TWoS 1.06.
Is there a need to uninstall 1.05 via JSGME first or can I use Windows Delete to delete SH5 and then ensure the SH5 folder is deleted as well?
Do I have to uninstall Uplay as well or can that be left?
If I use Windows Delete will it also delete my SH5 folder in "Documents" which holds the Data/cfg and Users and Mission Editor
I am a little worried that Uplay may query my CD Key when I put it in again or is there any need to input that again after reinstall.
Sorry for all the questions but want to ensure I am back up and running with the least amount of trouble.
Thanks in advance

Thanks guys...I'm especially interested about game stability in long playing sessions in "dense" waters with somewhat higher TC (512, or maybe even 1024).

In theory, v 1.06 should be stable as stock game , but we'll see...
In my "stress tests" I was able to do things previously impossible with even lightly modded SH5...

[jlangdale]

I was just playing 1.0.5 and it crashed when I tried to do a DR position report at 512 TC after having just arrived at my patrol area. Whoops!

Looking good... If it doesn't compromise stability I can add it to my new list of twos compatible mods...https://www.mediafire.com/folder/uuh93xvw926wd/TWoS_1.06_compatible_additional_mods
For quick testing you can do the following: Start any mission with type VIIC and then exit to main menu. Enter the museum and look at all ships from British roster from first battleship to last plane (except SV Tugboat and TugBoat Z) ...

Thanks Vecko! If you want, you can add my mod to your list: twos compatible mods.
I have a problem with the captain's icon "Leadership" in the Crew management: the icon is black. If you can, you check this icon.

How can I change hotkeys in the "options file editor" (TheDarkWraith) or better how to deactivate them? Like the "toggle nomograph"? Or others? Some are changeable, some are not.

I had my first CTD yesterday (WoS 1.06) In Danzig bay, I was under attack from the Polish destroyers while airplanes attacked the destroyers. I was about 2000 meters from the destroyers. Suddenly, when I gave the order to periscope depth, CTD!

Did you apply v 1.06 on clean game installation? Modlist?
Can this CTD be reproduced intentionally?

[mikaelanderlund]

Hi Veco, yes it was a clean install. Yes, I have some very simple own modified mods. I'll see if the CTD repeats tonight.

1. The Wolves of Steel 1.06
3. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Real Navigation
4. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Encrypted BdU Orders
Normal VIIA
DynEnv v2.9 - 5.c Ambient Settings - Darker Nights-No Murky Waters

Are you sure that the CTD was related to your "periscope depth" command input? I have played /tested a lot and I have never had such issue.:hmmm:

Did you have similar problems before, with v1.05 for example?

In any case,I can't do much about it if I can not reproduce the issue or without precise testing scenario.

If CTDs repeats reinstall your game , delete all SH5 related folders in my documents and start new campaign.

And once again , link with detailed description on how to report an issue is right there in my signature. I need details ...Without it, I can only conclude that the issue is user/inadequate game/mod installation/faulty modlist related (which is most of the time true unfortunately :)).

Did you enable the "wind and smoke" add on?

[Lanzfeld]

What does the mod "Original SV Interior QR1, QR2 Rooms" do?

and I assume the friendly deck gun waves allows the deckgun to fire in all seastates?

Great work.....but now the install instructons on page one need a once over.

I think you must have target lock for Ship Identification option to show up.

The video on the installation page no longer works as Shaefer (aka The Norse Cast) has closed his YouTube account!!!!!

This is a great pity as he had some great video's on YouTube

What about the Normal VIIA? Are you playing with this boat? I didn´t have CTDs in Danzig with similar scenery (planes attacking, destroyers...). Only I order crash dive and no CTD with TWoS 1.06. But I play the mission with a VIIB from start.

Without the smoke mod addon, you don´t have identification. And yes, you need to touch some commands with the OFEV application for personalize your TWoS.

Try with Smoke addon and see if you have the identification working. By default, TWoS is the "hard way".

From TWoS install instructions:

"5. The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Wind & Smoke addon (optional, enabled auto target recogn. button)" (says 1.05 but it is the same with 1.06).

You can change this (and lot of things), with OFEV. Please, see in the SH5 help threads for instructions using the OFEV application. OFEV: Options File Editor Viewer.
