Any impressions about new way of packaging, for update 07? :hmm2:

It was different but, worked like it should. I did it mid patrol with no problems. Currently patrolling Northern Approaches in January 1940.

The installation menu is great vecko :up:

I have already german voices, so is there a difference when i install
update 07?

In your case, no...

I just got tired of watching various YT TWoS videos with ugly combination of German and and English voices...:yep:

Hi Vecko!
In my humble opinion, I prefer the traditional way to activate mods with JSGME ie zip files or rar files, so I can always control what they include and without automatism with JSGME. After all until now the traditional way it has always worked.
Can you release the update 1.06.07 in the traditional way?
The Wolves of Steel 1.6 Update 06 is approximately 73.00 MB, because the Update 07 is bigger: about 190.00 MB, perhaps for German Voices sound pack?

Best regards.

Torpedo

P.S. The .exe files always worried me. :k_confused:

I see your point, but you would be quite surprised if I tell you how much people doesn't even know what rar/zip archive is, let alone to extract it at specific location.
I see this constantly in various YT videos, KSDCommander logs, not to mention my PM inbox...:doh:

Self extracting installer which would automatize installation process as much as possible is something that have in mind for a long time.
The update 1.06.07 is just a test for hopefully more serious installer which will make things a ton easier for me and for majority of other players.

Can you release the update 1.06.07 in the traditional way?
It's just WinRar SFX archive and you can open it with it...

Once again, huge thanks for all your work vdr, it's absolutely incredible.

I'd have to say I agree with Torpedo here. The old way works perfectly, plus exe files always carry a certain amount of suspicion or risk with them. Not everyone knows how to examine the inners of an executable file, whereas a zip/tar etc file contains no mysteries.
Knowing that you're first being redirected to an external site to download, then downloading an exe file just seems as though it might put people off.

End of the day it's your choice entirely, and regardless of which way you go, we all still wubs ya matey

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Vecko
Good work, and I can see your logic using the installer.:Kaleun_Applaud:
My PC was suspicious of your download because of the .exe, as it had no authenticity and said "unknown".

Same here...:yep: That's normal because windows will recognize the installer as "unknown publisher', which is me...:)

Noted, and thanks for your comment...:yep:
For now , I'll just wait to see how this goes. If we encounter some significant security issues or user's discontent, I can revert back to traditional rar/zip system in no time at all...:yep:

After an apocalypse i must reinstall a lot of programs, and can't find my saved games
I have read your new instructions and feel happy, much more easy
Let you know this weekend

[Maroy33]

Hey :Kaleun_Salute:
Yesterday i decided to install SH5 again and check what changed in past few months. Right after game install i downloaded and installed TWOS, step by step as in install instructions. Then i launched my game, pressed new campaign, then i was in bunker and when i want to choose my mission i got this on map:
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/924/mu5KN3.jpg

When commander stop giving briefing i cant choose any mission, cause i dont see objectives on map. Seems that this is issue only when i open map.
Im using SH5 version 1.2 downloaded by uplay downloader.
And this is the list of my activated mods:

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/C8AHBP.jpg

I have installed all things needed, directx+redists, no changes. Then i reinstalled whole game again and this also didnt helped. Im about to give up cause fighting with mods is what i hate. I really dont have idea what is going wrong, but since TWOS is compiled to .exe i cant modify one mod that can be screwed.
Im using 1680x1050 resolution monitor right now.
Maybe some more experienced captain can help me with this issue?
Any help highly appreciated. Cause i really want to sink some ships :arrgh!:

P.S. sorry for my english but its not my native :up:

[LesBaker]

Try enabling the 8:5 ratio as TWoS uses a standard 16:9.

Good Hunting
Les

[vdr1981]

If you use 8:5 resolution (1680x1050) then you should use appropriate resolution patch also...(other than that, JSGME looks OK)

OS?
Running the game with administration rights?
How about to check some compatibility options when launching the game?
EDIT:
Generic patcher thingy, no encountered problems there?

[Maroy33]

Thanks for fast reply.
So i just enabled 8x5 resolution patch in JSGME, launched game and still same issue.
And about my system i use windows 7 x64, all programs are running always in administration rights. I have no issues while enabling generic patcher (no errors) all just installed fine. Game is running in win 7 compatibilty (i tried other like vista, xp but this option dont make any changes)
The strange thing is even when i click toggle nav map bearing overlay visibility button it does nothing. i cant click skip button on mission briefing. Its like map overlay is glued forever :hmmm:

Same OS here...But I run my SH5 without any compatibility settings (unchecked option), can you try that?:hmmm:

[Maroy33]

After test without compatibility, no changes :hmmm:
So it seems that i cant use TWOS but i really want to. All should work without issues. But anyway thanks for your help and for your great work on this mod :up: and i hope i can play SH5 in future with TWOS enabled. For now i think i pass cause all posibilites has been run out for me.

[vdr1981]

Not all yet...

There is one more possibility but you'll have to reinstall the game completely once again...

This time, dont do step 4 (to delete main.cfg file), instead just open it with notepad, find line ";Modding=Yes" and remove ";" mark, like this...

[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
;MenuEditor=Yes
;DebugScripts=Yes

Install instructions are recently modified, maybe that is the problem...

[Maroy33]

Ok im after fresh install with your suggested step and that didnt help sadly.
But from what i see its strick bug with IO strategic map, cause rest working ok.
I took second screenshot after fresh install:

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/922/HNFfk2.jpg

As you can see there is definitely bug with this map, cause one border should cover whole map and its not, its a bit smaller as you see on screen. And this plastic should cover whole map also but it cover just small rectangle in this map.
This is screen just right after briefing where i should pick up my mission on map, as you see i dont have any objectives to choose :03:
Both plastic and border cant be moved or anything.

I see , but I can not label the issue as a "bug" because the problem definitely is not in the mod it self...It works just fine for me and for bunch of other people. :hmmm:

Don't know what to suggest you anymore, sorry. Keep an eye on this thread , maybe someone with similar problem (and solution) will pop-up eventually. :yep:

And if you find solution somehow for your self, don't forget to post it here so we can spread the knowledge...:yep:

[vdr1981]

One more question...
Did you try to start campaign with disabled "Campaign Advance Verifier Testing_For TWoS 1.06" ?:hmmm:

[Maroy33]

From what i saw on YT after selecting "what are my mission order?" exactly same map as mine just shows for 1 sec then disappear and normal map appear, and in my case this map just stay.

For example this movie (start watching from 8:39 after he select mission
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzfPfYC0Eto
And notice this 1 sec map change after he clicked select mission. This is where i get screwed.

But once more thanks for help. :up: SH5 gonna be uninstalled and gonna grab more dust and its too bad. Going back to SH3. Old game that works without issues.

Have a nice day

You installed the game in Program Files?

I think I saw that problem on another occasion but I do not remember how it happened.

Is your game properly upgraded to the official version 1.2 before applying the mods?

[Maroy33]

My game is on "c:\silent hunter 5" it is upgraded to 1.2 cause its first step before modding. After deactivating mods everything works without issues, so yeah its mod pack error that can be possible on some pc configs if other people dont report any problems. And since this mod pack is exe i cant config mods individualy, that means whole mod pack disable and install mods one by one :O: and i dont have time for this.
Im gonna check here from time to time to see if anything new appear that i can try like new update or something.

What's going on with your maps screen in some historical mission for example?

[Maroy33]

I'm downloading the 07 update to see if I can spot anything. (btw vdr your sig link to the 07 update points to the main 1.06 download, or at least it does for me)

[OldCoder]

Small observation from the installer, the default folder looks like C\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5, missing the colon after the drive letter.

[OldCoder]

Think I know what's going on. To do with date parsing and suspect it's a system specific thing that we haven't seen before .

I have changed the script , will upload later for testing, but will need Maroy33 to try it since nobody else has the problem.

[OldCoder]

Alright there's a new version here that will hopefully fix this issue (Maroy33 please try it per manual instructions below or wait until vdr1981 can include it in an incremental TWOS update)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/cm0aidnkhp2wl5c/Campaign_Advance_Verifier_Testing_For_TWoS_1.06.zi p

To manually try it, first deactivate the Campaign Advance Verifier mod if you have it activated via JSGME.

Then extract the zip to your silent hunter 5/mods folder, overwriting any previous version.

Then activate it.

Just wanted to say thank you to all contributors of TWOS and SH5 modders, that have re-made this game. What a wonderful collection of mods and a real joy to play..
After being away for a few years, went on my first patrol with TWOS and it was full of surprises and memorable moments. :salute:

Was it really necessary to use Mama's fix 2 ? Our testing showed that usually only one save/reload can assure successful campaign transfer...

[templarjack]

Terribly embarrassing question. I am a huge fan of the SH series yet I have never played on full realism. For my first playthrough of this mod I really just want to play without Real Navigation and manual TDC. The problem is that I have already started a campaign. Having now gone and disabled Real Navigation in JSGME, must I start a new campaign or will the changes take effect with no problem in my current one?

I love all of the submods that this megamod includes but some say that the markings are removed for map contacts to add realism. Can I enable these noob markings in game? I know you all are probably rolling your eyes at me but I do plan on going full realism in my next playthrough for the latest version of WoS (I am currently playing 1.5).

Thank you very much for any assistance!

[vdr1981]

No problems there, real nav can be enabled/disabled anytime...

I love all of the submods that this megamod includes but some say that the markings are removed for map contacts to add realism. Can I enable these noob markings in game You will be able to change game setting on your next bunker visit (Esc->gameplay ect...)
I am currently playing 1.5


You should really reinstall the game and update your mudpack to latest v1.06.08. There was a ton of critically important changes in the meantime...

Was it really necessary to use Mama's fix 2 ? Our testing showed that usually only one save/reload can assure successful campaign transfer...

No it works also without mama's fix 2 :up:
The campaign transfer ended on the same time and date :yeah:

It works fine for me now Coder, nice job! :up:

Few more positive reports and I'll enlist the mod in my Mediafire section for TWoS 1.06 compatible addons... :yep:

[LCQ_SH]

Hi All, :salute:

I just came back after a break and I left my campaign in the Mediterranean with TWoS v 1.05.

I changed my HD to a SSD so everything is fresh and updated to TWoS 1.6. I am using the same mods as before where evrything worked fine, but now that I went on patrol, I am in the perfect position to hit a large convoy, everything goes fine till I get pinned or the flashlight searches for my periscope. At that first ping from the destroyer I get a CTD.

Any ideas why would this be happening?

Thanks.

Mod List:
Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
1. The Wolves of Steel 1.06
2. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Update 05i
3. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Real Navigation

When does the first ENIGMA message appear?
The reason I ask is that I just did a complete re-install with the latest and I'm in Danzig on September 1st, and haven't received a message yet.
Maybe I just didn't wait long enough, but I could have sworn in earlier versions I was getting messages about Danzig early on.

I don't know if I did something wrong with the install, because of course I can't leave well enough alone and always have to tweak the options thingy lol..

If someone says "oh the first message is on September 2" then I'm probably ok and just not patient enough :)

Hi,

im now in the later month of 1940. I really have problems to get my Sub near a convoy. Let me say, i like this mod. But what do i wrong.

1. They see always my periscope at 2 to 3 KM.
2. When i'm at periscope depth and all engines of and periscope down. Escorts ping me always even if they don't know that i'm there. Is this realistic ? Or what do i wrong ?

Gruß :Kaleun_Salute:

What do you mean by "They see me"?
Do you mean you catch a message "periscope sighted"? Or Do you mean all escorts starts to approach you and attacking you?

If you mean the message, its just fake. Ignore it, or even switch "periscope sighted" messages off.

Any ship including escorts shouldn't spot your periscope at less than +-2km away.
I was even shadowing convoy at dusk from about 3km at deck wash depth and noone found out i am there...

Only "patrol complete" or "reposition" messages are encoded by enigma.
So its very low % of all the messages...

No...I think I know what your problem is. :yep:

Your game is "buried" under too many sub folders (C/Program files/Ubisoft/Ubisoft game lanuncher/bla/bla/bla ect...) and windows can not handle this...
You can't even manually copy files to desired location because your game path is too long...

You have to reinstall your game to more "direct" location (Like C/Ubisoft/Silent hunter 5 for example), dont forget to backup your savegames though...

- Adjusted content of instructional campaign transfer radio messages.
- Updated "New Merchant Fleet" mission.
- Removed few non-essential test missions, edited mission names.
- Changed file structure in order to avoid possible "Destination Path too long" errors caused by Windows 260 characters limitation.

in thedarkwraiths folder for his patcher it has a MOD folder. now after installing TWoS and then following the instructions for loading his snapshot and your done right? i know there are other options a savvy modder can tweak with his patcher. but the snap shot you load up, does that enable the basic playable features of the patcher and then you can tweak the settings or is it to just enable it so you can go in and enable the settings you want? back to the MOD folder. in it contains a few mods like AI_Crew_Damage_Control, Carrier_AirBase_Testing, Objects_wind_direction_and_speed, and so on. my question is do you have to put these in your MOD folder and enable them after all the TWoS options or are they as i asked above and automatically loaded into silenthunter?

After you enable the Snapshot, all necessary patches will be enabled (almost 95% of all available). What is left is just a few advanced test patches for advanced users. Feel free to explore them but be careful...:yep:

back to the MOD folder. in it contains a few mods like AI_Crew_Damage_Control, Carrier_AirBase_Testing, Objects_wind_direction_and_speed, and so on. my question is do you have to put these in your MOD folder and enable them after all the TWoS options or are they as i asked above and automatically loaded into silenthunter?

thanks,
clark:salute:

Don't use those...Those are just leftover mods. Actually, you've just gave me an idea to remove them in upcoming updates...:yep:

ahhhhh, thank you thank you! now i can get on with my campaign. motherboard decided to kill over on me and had to start over. so i was digging through some files after TDW patch and noticed this and thought i didnt have it right when my computer was working. thanks again for the quick response.

Hi Vecko

Do you still need the campaign advance verifier in the 09 update???

Hi Vecko

Do you still need the campaign advance verifier in the 09 update???

Michael
The latest version of OldCoder's campaign advance verifier has been uploaded to optional mods/addons section so you can use it occasionally if you like (for example when nearing campaign chapter ending date ect).

However, more important will be instructional Camping Transfer Orders flotilla objectives and these messages which will inform the player what to do in order to successfully initiate campaign transfer.
For those who can not initiate transfer no mater what, there will always be my "Alternative campaign progression method" PDF but since recent testing has shown us that usually only one save/reload is needed to secure the transfer, I do not expect any significant problems ...

Hi All, :salute:

I just came back after a break and I left my campaign in the Mediterranean with TWoS v 1.05.

I changed my HD to a SSD so everything is fresh and updated to TWoS 1.6. I am using the same mods as before where evrything worked fine, but now that I went on patrol, I am in the perfect position to hit a large convoy, everything goes fine till I get pinned or the flashlight searches for my periscope. At that first ping from the destroyer I get a CTD.

Any ideas why would this be happening?

Thanks.

Hi all. After installing DynEnv v2.9 many years ago, and recently also TWOS, I noticed the moon phases were reversed, with the lit side of the moon facing away from the sun. EG: lit side of waxing sun was eastern limb and after full moon the waning moon was lit on the west limb. (Northern Hemisphere)

I have modified the moon.dds from DynEnv v2.9 - 01. Main Mod to correct the mistake, matching the phases in the original graphic. Credit for the new graphic goes to the maker(s) of DynEnv v2.9 mod and creator of the moon.dds graphic therein. Original SH5 moon file is included as MoonOriginal.dds

Feel free to incorporate this fix in future TWOS updates! Awesome community and great mod. TY all for the hard work.

Unzip to the Silent Hunter 5 Mods folder and install using JGSME after DynEnv v2.9 - 01. Main Mod, or if using TWOS, after 2. The Wolves of Steel 1.06 - Update 09.

Dear vdr1981

I can not find TWoS 1.06_Snapshot.gps file anywhere in SH5 install folder. -Re-Installed and searched twice.

Please explain which TDW Generic Patcher options needed to be enabled and which options must left disabled.

Or if possible please share TWoS 1.06_Snapshot.gps file for me(us).

Thank you.

Edit_1: I did not read 500 pages of comments, please forgive my laziness if mentioned and solved before.

Ok I found the file after third install.

Solution: I disabled my AV and reinstalled TWoS again. I have Eset NOD32 9.

I have a little problem again.

I recieve warnings after load a saved game every time from TWoS 1.06 Campaign Advance Verifier Testing mod.

I installed TWoS 1.06 as explained in Install Instructions TWoS 1.06_New.rtf file...

But I edited few TWoS files, changed some TDW Patcher and TDW UserOptions for my personal preferences.

I edited torpedoes_g7a-e.zone, shells.zon, DC_X_H.zon and DC_barrels.zon in TWoS 1.06 and edited GameplaySettings.cfg in TWoS 1.06 - Update 09.

I disabled most "Torpedo options" from TDW Patcher (left crew abilities and detonator options unchanged) , enabled "Minimum 0 Wind Speed" option and disebled "Disable Automatic Battery Recharge" and "Increase CO2 generation rate" options.

Can't remember which options I changed in TDW User Options but disabled and enabled all mods after that.

Because these are mod's install instructions, not "how to install the game" tutorial. As far as I am concerned, people should know how to install and configure their games before game modding...

Hi B
You have to put SH3 out of your mind as SH5 does not work in the same way.
When SH5 is installed it comes with version v1.0.5 installed.
The support folder will lead you to a GamesUpdater folder where you can run the patch application to update to v 1.2
This is update is compulsory.
Unlike SH3 and SH4, SH5 is controlled by Uplay.

So do you have any idea why I recieve warnings continuously from TWoS Campaign Anvance Verifier Testing?

So far I'm aware of two reasons:

- "Internet" version of the game which is freed from all Uplay crap...

[d_ted]

So far I'm aware of two reasons:

- Enabled "Disable Uplay Browser" advanced patches...
- "Internet" version of the game which is freed from all Uplay crap...

Thanks for your answers.

The game is ~17 (~7) years old I don't want to use my "non-internet" version of the game. I don't have an option to buy another non-steam/retail copy of the game and want to keep my DVD many more years.

[OldCoder]

It could be that. If the OSI exe does not start up when running the game, by definition then there's nothing to respond to the gamepipe requests, and campaign advance check may fail.

[Tonci87]

Does the campaign transfer work flawlessly with "internet versions" of the game? Did Ubisoft really screw it up with Uplay that much?

[Bard Skye]

I am on first mission of Drumbeat. Can somebody tell me how to succesfuly resupply? I receiving coordinates with "x" on map, but when i come there, there is no resupply ship or u boat...I tried many times with resupply and everytime other position? Sorry for my bad english. Thank you...

Having similar problem. Also on Drumbeat mission #1. When I reach U-boat refueling point, there is no milch cow. The mission change exclamation mark appears and the Captain's Log says rendezvous and refueling complete, but no gas in the tanks. Resupply skimmer becomes available, but resupply will only fill fuel tanks since I still have a full load of torpedoes. And that's wasted the only resupply available for the mission.

Its a long time ago since I have done Drumbeat.
At the time I remember I had to use the Radio Man's command to request refueling.

[OldCoder]

Does the campaign transfer work flawlessly with "internet versions" of the game? Did Ubisoft really screw it up with Uplay that much?

All versions appear to suffer similarly, unfortunately, in that the campaign dependencies will either initialise in a working state or failed state, seemingly at random on the first "long" load. After giving up trying to find a fix, I wrote the Campaign Advance Verifier to detect the situation (which it does), and to provide a chance for the player to return to menu and reload (which usually results in the campaign initialising correctly).

The problem stems from a gamepipe that's setup between SH5 exe and OSI exe. OSI acts as the pipe server, and SH5 connects to it as a client. SH5 sends requests to OSI via the pipe, and OSI responds.

What happens when SH5 campaign loads is that a whole bunch of requests are sent to OSI. What is not known at this time (though could be found by using system API monitoring tools) is whether SH5 sometimes fails to send the right information, or whether it DOES send the right info but OSI fails to respond. Either way, it leaves SH5 campaign transfer in a broken state. When the campaign initialises correctly however, campaign transfer seems to work fine.

[vdr1981]

Check for new update...:)

v1.06.10
- Disabled interaction menu for crewman Max Bauer (the guy in stern torpedo room) since he hasn't any interaction options.
- Removed unnecessary leftover mods from "Generic Patcher/MODS" folder.
- Katze's Moon phase fix.
- Revised few first Enigma messages.
- Waves shape tweaks.
- Merged several environmental "RealEnvironment" and "DynEnv v2.9" tweaks in order to get the best from both quality Env mods for SH5 (Kudos to W clear, gap and all modders involved in development).

Campaign advance verifier mod is the closest there is presently since it ensures the transfer will work for the current campaign play session. I don't know if anybody will manage to resolve the underlying problem but at least with this mod you know up front if it's working.

[fitzcarraldo]

Reporting problem:

After installed update 10, I would to change some options with OFEV. The cfg file of OFEV wasn´t present, so, starting OFEV.exe, it generates a cfg file but with missing entries.

It was impossible for me to launch OFEV and use it with that cfg file.

I resolved the issue using the OFEV folder of the pre-TWoS autoinstaller (present in Data\Applications). I use the cfg file from this version, launch OFEV and now all works fine. But I think update 10 changes something and OFEV is unusable.

Best regards.

[fitzcarraldo]

That's how OFEV actually works...You start the app, set path to necessary files and use it afterwards... :yep: Check OFEV readme...

Ever I used OFEV with the pre-autoinstaller, I opened the cfg, change the unit ("C:" with "E:", my unit), start OFEV and "open"; then I have all the options to change. With the update 10, the cfg don´t exist; I need to start OFEV first; then the program creates the cfg, but I have to enter manually all the paths.

No problem for me; I copy/paste the folder of a manually installed TWoS to the data\applications folder, and all works fine. But the autoinstaller in my installation creates a OFEV folder without a cfg file. The old manually installed TWoS 1.6 had a cfg file for OFEV.

If you mave your game the link is broken, so you would need to edit the Uplay path to the new installation path.

Think I should try to reinstall and use the C:programfile/x86/ubisoft/ Not by choice as this directory has restrictions.
Better to install in something like C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
As long as you have installed SH5 in the correct folder then you have made an error extracting TWOS to the wrong place.

I am going to try to do a clean install and use the folder C:programfile/x86/ubisoft/....etc... that the game wants to install too. And try to run the mods again.

Will let you know what happens. Thanks for the help so far. I haven't played the game in a long time, last time I played I was usings sobers mega mod. But this was about 3 years ago.

Cheers,

Steve

Big problem here, i did everything like the first post say, clean install of sh5, patched to 1.2.0, installed wos 1.06 and 1.06.10, activated the mod correctly and did the thing with the Generic patcher.

If i start a campaign, and try to save the Game when i first see the Bunker, it just freezes in "Please Wait" (While saving). Thats it, have to Alt F4 out :confused:

Oh, that looks nice :up:

Say, what will determine what direction they face? The wind? What if the wind is coming from the stern, faster than your speed? Will the flag then point forwards? Will it disappear when you dive?

[spitfire1066]

Well I reinstalled the game into the C:programfile/x86/ubisoft/....etc... folder that the game wanted to install to. Ran all the mods and patcher etc. All ok.

Tired to start the game and at first Norton Anti Virus says I have a file that is corrupt and restarted the pc. Now the Uplay can't find the game folder Silent Hunter 5 and when it does Uplay says that I have corrupt or missing files and is verifying and fixing the files.

This is giving me a headache :-(

Hi spitfire
Sometimes Anti-Virus can be a real pain, probably does not like the .exe application?
Uninstall your Game Launcher from the Control Panel's Program and Features.
Run a free registry cleaner like Ccleaner, in my tutorials if you need it, re-boot your system and install this genuine game launcher on any drive and you can use any folder.

It is your AV software that is screwing you up...It deletes false positive files. Some AV will recognize your modified SH5.exe (by TDW Generic Patcher) as a crack or something, which is certainly not true.

Have you tried a lower Graphic Setting Option in the game.

[spitfire1066]

Yay :):D

I got it working.

I uninstalled the game and documents folder. Ran the CCleaner per instructions above. Restarted the PC. Created a folder called C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5, installed the genuine game launcher into C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 per above.
Re downloaded the game and installed into C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5.

Ran the two mods. Then set SH5.exe and JSGME.exe to run as administrator before running them. Disabled my Norton Anti Virus for 30min then loaded the two mods using JSGME then followed the rest of the instructions.

Started the game and hooray it works.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Hi Vecko,
Twice I've run into Class A destroyers that ID as merchant and fly the red ensign. I figure these are the TFL's that are used for the new fleet AI (Great job, as it is working and noticeable as the BB and fast Troop Ships followed them away at high speed.)
Is the non-escort tag on them needed for scripting, or just left over from testing?

You've noticed well...:yep:

I'm afraid so, yes...It's very important to have at least one fast, hard to hit target with non warship AI In certain groups like Task Forces with capital ships or TT convoys. I discovered this while I was trying to deal with several ugly AI issues and the solution was proved to be quite adequate ...

Thanks for the info, I'll always be careful when approaching a 'merchant' from now on.. during Norway it lead me toward the BB Task Force!
(A sad story, 3 hits on the BB but 2 were duds and, as your AI was working, it kept on sailing away as I got swamped with angry escorts! Good Job!)

v1.06.11
- Updated effects from the Beast's EUF_UBoat_FX mod (revised bubbles and water splash generators, added submarine exhaust smoke).
- Few optimization tweaks for env/static subs.
- Various files/controllers fixes which will (finally) prevent all CTDs when sub flags are used in modded game.
- Added TheDarkWrait's/The Beast's submarine flags (playable subs only, no flags for U-FlAK yet) and turm fixes.
- Added global wind controller to turm flags so that flags can be influenced both by wind and sub's movement.
- Removed some unnecessary files.
- Updated SH5 validator ignore list.

I am just digging into last TWOS right now and im speachless.. My second morning at tower...

[vdr1981]

I am facing this bug:
Whenever I start a mission or so, I have this black window "USER CHARTS" in the center of the screen - EMPTY & BLACK (and I know there should be text), see this screenshot: http://abload.de/thumb/20170325_004448fascd.png (http://abload.de/img/20170325_004448fascd.png)

I have done the reinstallation several times in a row now - it must be something with the mods, because the game until 1.2.0 runs fine.



I checked that I have installed the game and patched to 1.2.0. http://www.unabhaengiges-vergleichsportal.de/icon/haken-klein.png
I have downloaded WOS 1.06 and Update 10 - MD5Sums okay. http://www.unabhaengiges-vergleichsportal.de/icon/haken-klein.png
I have activated both after another. http://www.unabhaengiges-vergleichsportal.de/icon/haken-klein.png
I have properly configured (with directory) and run TDW's GGPatcher. http://www.unabhaengiges-vergleichsportal.de/icon/haken-klein.png

Where am I going wrong? What have I missed to do?
I guess you are missing "fresh" DirectX9 ? Do you use any win compatibility options?

[vdr1981]

No. DirectX has been freshly installed by the SH5-DVD.
No. I am not using any win compatibility options.

Hm, windows 10?

[vdr1981]

No. It is Win7.

Same here...I dont have such issues but I can remember someone reported similar problem before. It is system related issue and IIRC it involves DX version, administration rights and windows compatibility options...

EDIT: By the way, that screenshot of your is broken?

[vdr1981]

Just wait.
It will be back.
The picture hoster abload does his backups on saturdays.

All normal.

So well... How can I get this fixed...

Hi Vecko
It would be useful to point out to run applications as administrators especially the SH5.exe and the Uplay 32 bit Game launcher.
These changes seems to make a big difference making things work that did not before.
SH5 with Windows does not seem to have compatibility problems that I have come across using Windows 7 and 10.

Peter

You think these are responsible for Blitz's issue?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Vecko
No, it points to a Direct X problem, and yet!
It would also be worth checking GPU drivers for updates and GPU settings if not already done so.
Having said that BL!TZKR!EG states that the stock game runs ok.
But TWOS has a lot of graphics in it.
Iif the stock game loads then you know that Direct x is working from the dvd installation.
Could it be a TWOS download corruption?
It would be useful to see his JSGME mods list.
SH5 with TWOS enabled will be heavy on graphics and we do not know what his system's capabilities are.
Looking at the posts to date BL!TZKR!EG seems to have covered all the angles.
Peter

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi BL!TZKR!EG
Have you tried TWOS with the in game graphics option set to a low setting?
If yes,
I would be inclined to come back to GPU settings again.
Possibly something to do with Antialiasing?
Peter

[palmic]

i cant get enough of new sky effects, transition between night and dawn is beyond words, all involved deserves biggest kudo! :yeah:

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi BL!TZKR!EG
The draggables you are showing are all part of TDW's NewUi 7-5-0 version 18 mod.
It is usually this mod that shows visually that you have a Direct X problems showing in one form or another, such as a number of blank blacks blocks or in other forms of corruption that should not be showing.
TWOS has over 100 mods and patches all installed in the main TWOS mod.
Peter

[vdr1981]

= SOLVED! =


It is neither of the above. All waste of time. Instead I have found a bug and WoS is NOT GUILTY - I can now reproduce the whole occurance and wish to ask:

Which program writes these files:

PageAutomation_Draggables.TDW
PageChalkBoard_Draggables.TDW
PageDefaultHud_Draggables.TDW
Pageeventcamera_Draggables.TDW
Pagelayout_Draggables.TDW
PageSpeechRecSettings_Draggables.TDW
PageTDC_Draggables.TDW
PageTutorial_Draggables.TDW


What did you do get rid of the issue? Those files are created automatically once game is started, by TDW New UIs...

[vdr1981]

Hi Peter :Kaleun_Salute:


Not in this case.
It is program code that writes these 8 files whenever you start SH5.exe and this program code uses the WRONG PATH.


But, which path was used in your case? Those files should be created directly in your game root folder...:hmmm:

[HW3]

:Kaleun_Salute:

[vdr1981]

HW3 :up:

[vdr1981]

Hi Vecko:Kaleun_Salute:

Easy:
Get the path sorted.

Reason:
Part of that code writes these files to the WRONG PATH DESTINATION.

Background:
That part of the code ignores the path-settings that you are asked to provide in the GenericPatcher.cfg - and THAT is the bug!

Proposed fix:
TDW New UIs should use the path provided in the GenericPatcher.cfg (which it clearly does NOT!).
I don't think I'm following you Blitz...:hmmm:

Do you have any explanation why rest of us didn't have same problem like you did?

Do you have some proposition for me, or files/scripts fix which I should implement in the megamod?

Also, what should I do in order to reproduce the same "charts box" problem?

[palmic]

This should be new twos background ;)

I've just gotten everything installed and ready to roll on my first patrol, but for some reason the harbor pilot scripts won't activate. I've turned on the proper real nav position fix for the time my mission starts but the memel harbor pilot remains red when I hit play. Any ideas?

[fitzcarraldo]

Downloading now Update 11, many thanks!

Question: never use the flags. Is it fixed or can I "up-down" it wiuth some keys (as in SH3)? Really I like it in ports arriving or departing, not in the middle of the ocean.

Many thanks for the work. TWoS becoming better day to day.

Best regards.

Harbor pilot scripts work fine as you can see...Maybe you didnt activate them properly? You must click "play" for every activated script...

All charts? That would probably be DirectX issue...

When you move the harbor pilot script to the right box, click on it in the box, then click start. I usually have to click start twice to get it to work.

Hi BL!TZKR!EG
The user is asked to "activate" the patcher by providing the path to the game root folder as you call it
And put that data into GenericPatcher.cfg.
Agreed that sets up the patcher.
Did you then enable the Snapshot .gps file?
