[REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

[vdr1981]

Thank you very much for your detailed response Blitz. That made things quite clear...:yep:


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.
Note: Can this not be automated by the way?

Probably it can. I always wished that correctly configured GenericPatcher.cfg file can be created automatically after the app is started. It's just that something like that would require some serious code editing, which is beyond me I'm afraid...


The bug is that the patcher uses that path, but the code of "TDW New UIs" ignores that same information and takes that path from an entire different place.
=> That is inconsistant.
Of course...TDW Generic Patcher was always a "standalone" application and it has nothing to do with rest of the mods. It can be used form anywhere (even form desktop ect) as long as correct path(s) are precised in its cfg file...


The background is that I am used to making backups and to use multiple installations in particular. Momentarily I have 17 (!) installations with varying mod-combinations on my SH3-partition. Likewise, I installed SH5 and made a number backup-copies to try things out without interference (MultiSH5) - here is the crucial point: For such backup-copy one obviously CHANGES THE DIRECTORY PATH NAME.

The bug is that the patcher uses the path that the user enters in GenericPatcher.cfg, but the code of "TDW New UIs" ignores that same information and takes that path from an entire different place: The registry. And the registry shows the ORIGINAL location of the FIRST INSTALL. So consequently the 8 files were NOT written into my test-install and the missing 8 files cause the problem that my screenshot shows: The black chart boxes.
I understand now... Quite expected behavior with most applications I would say. I'm not sure that heavily modded SH5 can easily be converted to "portable" application...:hmmm:


Yes. TDW New UIs should use that same path provided in the GenericPatcher.cfg (which it clearly does NOT!), so the 8 files are not written elsewhere than needed.
That would make thing easier for some, but note again that the Patcher is originally developed as a completely standalone app ...

My question to you: Can you fix which path TDW New UIs uses?
OK, this one is easy...No...:D

Hi PR
Check this out as the original version no longer works correctly.
Go over these installation instructions and see what went wrong.

thanks for reply still getting message i am a little confused with step 12 do i have to have this sh5.exe in the main directory with the patched.exe and steam.exe?

[YoshiroNatsume]

I downloaded this mod and applied it but after I installed the mod, for some reason the game just started crashing and stopped working when the loading screen in campaign was done, it says "Silent Hunter 5 has stopped working" and i return to my desktop,

please someone help?

Hello Sailors!
I am sorry if it has already been discussed, but I am not able to find it. I find WOS a great game changer. I have some questions:
2. Is there any possibility to go over 64 time compression when somebody is around?
3. I would definatelly like real navigation but nt the way it is, I think it is unuseable (or I am lame). When I order navigator to fix position via celestial he doesnt do it. I understand that there is a weather problem, but he never says he cant. Is there any workaround to be faster?

[gezahu]

Well I found how to find grid. I also learned that for the navigator it takes 1-2 hours to fix celestial position (however I dont understand why, I am not an expert but given the thread about sextant usage it shouldnt take more than 30 mins).

But still I cant change interface. I want to play with SH3 interface but have no idea how to change it.....

I re-discovered SH with WoS. At the time when I played there were no good mega mods, no RAOBF disc (I love it), the game was unstable etc.. WoS mod is great, both visually and gameplay-wise. Now I have lots of time I can go hunting...

Use the Real Navigation Tab in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer to change how long it takes the Navigator to plot.

Is TDW not anymore around?




I don't think so...He is probably done with modding.

[gap]

My little mix of environmental mods with few tweaks of mine looks quite good indeed...:hmm2: Almost photo realistic at certain moments...

Amazing work :up:

He is probably done with modding.

Maybe someone or something pissed him off, he is busy with RL or he got married. I remember him complaining at times that he had to stop works on SH5 due to a date with his girlfriend, only to pop up a few hours later with a modding idea he had while he was off with her. His lady might have taken a revenge :haha:

Anyway it is not the first time he disappears for months or years from the subsim scene, and I wouldn't be surprised if at some moment he turned up again :03:

[fire-fox]

Hi guys, been off the site for a few years but gotten back in and all I can say is having a blast with TWoS again - though most are duds and DC's :D

running TWoS 1.6 + update 11 + realnav + enigma

but seem to be getting some odd issue with the search scripts for in shipping lane and patrol area scripts

they will run through for the first 1 - 2 course changes then send me charging off in a seaming random heading at flank...

sometimes only to spot it at the next Navigation Fix.

Noticed this yesterday. The Shipping Lane script runs your sub at flank speed when on the surface at 128 TC! Quick way to lose your fuel and be stranded in the Atlantic.

[hauangua]

Hi mate
I have 2 questions about real navigation sail from Memel for example at 16.10 ...and set real nav automation 16h-20h...It must remain so for all mission days .. right? I do not change when they get 21h ... right? second question when I save and then reloading carrier the game automation of real navy disappears ... I will reset .. is this normal? or is it a problem in my installation?
Thanks :salute:

[fire-fox]

From my experience it's supposed to be started like you say then left.

And for your second question yes it gets reset when you reload the game as I'd not part of the original game. So you have to start the macro running again.

Thanks fire-fox

and so following the above example when reloading a career imposed a16h-20h automation regardless of the time where I am ... right?

[redline202]

This is how i play TWOS: no update on real navigation, no navigator help, no crew at all, empty sub...in other words I have to take care of everything.
And I play with 1TC max :salute:

[fire-fox]

Thanks fire-fox

and so following the above example when reloading a career imposed a16h-20h automation regardless of the time where I am ... right?

Yes. That's what I used to do, change the script when ever the time changed.

But forgot once and noticed that ran better.

So now just start whitch ever one fits for the time at that point and leave it running

[wolfbaron]

i am back to SH5 damnnn awesome ....

ooh my god i just wish this game had more submarine types.... ubisof should pushed a broken DLC to allow our awesome modders to work on more subs

[ThaineFurrows]

I really enjoy this mod. Big thanks to all the creators.

But there's one thing. I think the smoke from burning ships doesn't rise enough. It really stays close to the surface instead of building a column. Is there any way to change this. Or do I get something wrong and this is depended on wind?

[hauangua]

Thank again fire-fox

I keep in mind your advice and try that .. but it's strange that I have not found no one asked this before ..how to set real navigation automatism then reload carrier? original departure time? or the current time?

[fire-fox]

Hey ThaineFurrows!:salute: It's from a mod called "Sober's Smokescreen" and compared to some historical WWII videos it looks very realistic...:yep:

[redline202]

So i was thinking the most hardest way to play Twos:
1.No help from crew.
2.NO help any help at all.
3.No saving games.
check this out
4.When you start a patrol all keyboard/windows keys are disabled for exiting out, you have to stay on patrol and keep your pc on for as long as it take to end patrol. :salute:

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi redline
No thank you.
I started patrol 8 on the January 21st 2017
I am currently at May 17th 1940 May 31st 2017

Story:

Boooh! Granville (http://uboat.net/allies/merchants/2784.html) in North Western approach on my way with spy near of Liverpool.

night, no fog, 13m/s
His course 8. My approach to him from west - course 10, waiting to get him on my bearing +-140 to reach for about 30AOB which means if i would stay there, his distance would be 1/2 when he got 90AOB.
This way i was just slowly turning to the right, still closing to my wanted 30AOB while slowly closing to him - ideal approach.

I reach for more than wanted position - +-12AOB, +- 6km away.
So now if ill stay here, he will be +- 6km * sin(12) = 6km * 0.2 = +-1100-1200m with 90AOB - perfect firing sollution even in 13m/s sure hit.
Waiting till hell get there, finding he has nearly different course than i expected - nothing serius, just waiting for optical 90AOB, getting his speed with stopwatch and RAOBF - +-6.2kts, ok.....

Perfect time, fire one electric with 4m depth, impact pistol and waiting..
Boom, topedo fasaga...

Ok, next, steam-one, fast, 4m, loss!!!!
Time was ticking, everyone catch a breath...
Perfect time for hit now, topedo fasaga... :o

So at least i had perfect sollution, the second just didn't explode...
Frustration factor of simulation 100% :yeah:

[gezahu]

I searched the thread but no one was able to answer the question of how to make night brighter. I am playing on a laptop and my eyes are almost half a century old so a little brightness is not a cheat it just would make me 20 years old like a crewmember....

Oh thanks. In that case I keep quiet and keep on with this awesome mod. I'm still on 1.05; but since I want to keep my savegame, I'll continue with this version until I die.

[fire-fox]

Hey ThaineFurrows!:salute: It's from a mod called "Sober's Smokescreen" and compared to some historical WWII videos it looks very realistic...:yep:

No Problem, tuck me ages to figure out - I was changing the macro each time it when tout side the stop start times for each.

[joshkosen]

I just started playing this game after my brother bought it 2 years ago, it has been lying in my family's' storeroom for quite a while. I have been playing vanilla for sometime before I installed this mod so I have a few questions to ask.

1) Is the travel mode still working? because every time when I increase the TC it always went back to 1, I know it is due to ships coming near you or a radio message is being received but are there an alternative ways that makes travel mode working as same as the vanilla?

2)what happened to the little dash behind the ship mark on the map which shows the direction of the ships heading? Honestly I rely heavily on this feature but on TWOS mod it only shows a square without a dash behind. I know is about realism but since I am newbie(realism 10% no shame), are there any settings to change it back like in the vanilla does?

3)torpedoes seems to dud more often with this mode even though I check dud torpedoes off in the game settings, any suggestion for this newbie?

4)cannot find the minimap option in the game.

that's all, keep up the good work! was really surprised when you can actually broadcast the Tipperary Song inside the sub. What a great mod.:up:

[gezahu]

An other mod question.
I see two separate command for deck crew and flak crew on deck. Is it possible to have the simultaneously as rendered in game, because I do not see the watch crew dissapear after flak is manned as in stock...

I've been order to go to almost down to Cape Town as a Winston's special 'mission. Date is May 1941 but if I go all the way south, I won't be able to come back as Las Palmas resupply ship is not still there. What I have read is that that tanker should have been avaiable since March but if I zoom in in the map, she is still not there.

Any ideas?? :ping:

Hi Kaleuns

I Have a question... some of you uses four bearing method with real navigation? with 100%realism..
If in real navigation I can not be sure of my position ...still remains a useful method? you as you do if you have a contact hydrophone?
alternative?
Thanks

I think it is useful to use it for target approximation...then go often to periscope depth and search target...wrong?

[ghickey]

Hello!

I just started a new campaign from scratch with silentotto for Turning Point. You get assisgned a UFLAK boat...which is great, but how would I switch out the UFLAK for the normal sub?

I started the first 2 missions, but did not see any options to switch out the conning tower to the normal conning tower when talking to the upgrades guy. I'm concerned that I will never get the option and will be stuck with the UFLAK for the remaining Turning Point missions. As the missions progress, do I need to wait it out before getting a normal sub or do I need to manually switch out the sub in the data files somewhere?


Thanks very much for making this awesome Sim BTW - it sure is great what you modders do around here.

Hi,
The point of 4bearing method is your absolute position at map is irelevant.
Only relevant thing is your relevant position to target, its track and eventually its speed if you want to do it hard-way.

Check this (http://subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=224368) if you want to know how to calculate it in hand without using map.

very interesting your way .... I have some questions for you ... but come on your thread... I not understand one step..

[palmic]

very interesting your way .... I have some questions for you ... but come on your thread... I not understand one step..

Responded. Sorry to others for this of toppic, but i recongnize real navigation as most of immersivity of TWOS ;)

The point of target motion analysis is not to trying to get exact values with precision of 0.1 degrees in bearing.

The point is to calculate roughly, youll get used to it and youll be very quick to find solutions without any map in one week if youll get into it..

The point here is to find out their course with precision about +-3 degrees.
That way you can easily calculate even your ideal bearing at waiting position to fire torpedo at their ideal AoB90 as their course+90 so when he will have course 20, your bearing at waiting position will be 120 and you cant miss..
Or you can easily detect their speed by binoculars - keep the same course and watch the bearing which you have the target at, try to manage to keep target at the same bearing for about 2-5 minutes - now they have exactly same speed as you - You have complete firing solution from 10km away until they spot you!

-----
When i found this solution i started with absolute precise calculating with calculator.
I calculated even 4.th bearing with spiess line to get its distance and speed..

Then i found the speed is always about 8-10kts, so just find out how to recognize rough distance by differences between bearings at hydrophone in periods.
There's no universal rules for it, you have to start and find your own shortcuts - this is ultimately part of the fun and evidence TWOS is world for its own based on real navy situation (if you dont brake it by lowering your difficulty).
- Build your own unique kaleun approaches!

Then i started to round values to 1 decimal point (1.9) and start to calculate equations at paper.
Then i started to convert sine by rules from head (sine of every 6 degrees means 0.1 - so sine(6)=0.1, sine(12)=0.2, sine(30)=0.5) and so.
Then i started to use this sine and triangle rules even in target approach - When you know their rough course is 8, your from west of them is 10, you know, your tracks connects under angle of 2 degrees.
If you see them at your bearing 140, you know second angle of triangle=140.
If you remember from school, every triangle's inner angles sum is 180.
So his current angle on bow agains you is 180-(140+2)=38 degrees.
Now you can simply calculate how distant he will be if youll wait for him to come to you here if you know his current distance.
It will be his current distance * sin(his angle on bow - 38)=his current distance * sin(38) = his current distance * 0.6.
Thats cool huh, and that was just from head like if i would multiply something by 10...
Thats rule of sine.

Your brain just start to use this shortcuts on its own and one day, you find out, you can build solution just like that in head like kaleuns in movies or documentaries.

Now dont think i am some super-kapitan which kills everything around just by snap his fingers, i constantly make mistakes and miss my eels, but most often when i find ideal position from about 1km in 90AoB of my target i hit...
And my eels dont explode many times even in those situations :)
I am just hungry for submarines theories to enhance my immersion while i play sims..

Sorry Vecko, i just love it! :)

Hi Skarmy
I adjust the Travel Mode settings to suit my game play.
Got to C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main cfg file

Adding a , comma or changing the figure after it is useful for bringing Travel Mode into your game at certain times.
If using real navigation near coastal areas with Travel Mode on then be careful as you could crash your boat.

I was having the same issue. The WoS works differently it is not done in cfg it is done in OptionFileEditor viewer. Open TimeCompression tab choose first item (TC level at wich at TcX at constant distance bla..bla) and set it to a TC one higher you want to allow yourself (want to be able 256 when contact then set 512)

I have not found a way to increase 512 max however.... 1024 would be nice.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi gezahu
Sounds like you are working off the old 512 TWOS TC settings.
Just change the maximum TC from 512 to 1024 or 2048.
It is recommended IIRC that 512 TC should be the maximum.
Remember the higher the setting the shorter your response time will be.
It is your game, your choice.

[palmic]

I set 128, higher values lags too much which is exploit. It lags always if you have something around which you can hear at hydro..

[gezahu]

The mistery of WoS :( For me it worked like charm.
Living with WoS is not an easy thing. I have restarted my career about 3 times. Last time I could not move from the deck before that my boat just tilted about 30 degrees aside before that 30 degrees backwards.

Being honest the original game was not a fine polished product on its own, interrestingly enough WoS probably made it more stable...

That is not TWoS issue for sure...It's your custom modlist or bad installation.

That is not TWoS issue for sure...It's your custom modlist or bad installation.[/QUOTE]

No other mods. Perhaps I messed with Option File editor viewer (I gave snorkel). I red somewhere that you have to disable TWoS before changeing values, well I could not do that as Optionfile editor viewer dissapears when TWoS is disabled.

I have uploaded new megamod version (v2.0) which will basically consolidate all changes from v1.06.00 to v1.06.12 (the updates were getting too large and very hard to manipulate with.)
New TWoS 2.0 should be savegame compatible with v 1.06 although some changes won't be visible until next fresh career start (this depends largely of your TWoS version at the moment of your career start ) ...

Hello,
I've installed the megamod. And I have two simple questions.

1) I've launched a new campaign. But I remember playing vanilla, there was an intro mission (with some cinematics, dialogs). At the beginning the game asked you if you want to play the tutorial. I was a cool way to begin the game, with elements of story.
But now I just start in a bunker somewhere in Memel and the mission is gone. Is it normal? Is there a way to re-enable this first mission?

2) I talk to the mission officer in the bunker, request mission "baltic operation" then I try to check my equipment, change insignia, etc..but I can't. The equipment officer's dialog options are greyed out. And I can't access the quipment screen. Is this a normal behaviour?

Thank you for your answers.

Thank you THEBERBSTER.
And what about the introduction mission? I remember starting the vanilla game with a mission with cutsecenes, dialogs, where you had to sink two merchant ship and you were given your first U-boat.. It was a kind of tutorial. I found it was a cool beginning.
I don't know or maybe i'm mistaken. Maybe it was in SH4. And now you start right in the bunker.

Thank you for your answers.

1) The Tutorial mission was removed, because apart from the cinematic, it didn´t offer anything worthwhile. Your new start from Memel is a much better introduction to the war because you start the game before the war actually begins. Your first mission is also much more interesting than sinking two merchants. You can work in unison with Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine Units to hunt down two destroyers :)

2) That was already answered

[Hobomaniac]

2) I can not answer this. It used to be that you can access the equipment selection, but it might have been disabled for the campaign start since then...

Ok, small thing really, but since I am just getting back into Sub Sim's (been something like 6 or 7 years?) I'm running through the tutorials provided in the Wolves of Steel modpack. Big thumbs up on the improvements by the way. I was one of those poor suckers that pre-ordered it and played it fresh out of the box, broken and all.

Anyway, back to the point at hand.

IF you load and play through one tutorial, then exit to main menu, then try to load up to play through a second tutorial, it will CTD. Has happened to me 3 times in a row now. *UPDATE* You have to manually "Escape" out of the mission and exit back to the main menu for this to happen. If the mission ends and exits on its own, then this CTD does not happen.

Thank you again for the Wolves of Steel mod. I love it. Makes a truly pretty sub sim actually playable. I think Ubisoft ought to hire your team if they ever decide to build SH6. At the very least they should offer your team a small commission on every sale of the game since you first released your modpack. I would imagine there are many sales they made that that is the only reason it was purchased. Thank you again for all your work.

guys during convoy encounters , i have some inquiries
1- how to actually have other wolves attacking with you , any one experienced it ?

I discovered that it is advantageous to shadow a convoy from in front when you ask for reinforcements.
If those actually spawn, they will do so in your vicinity. If you are behind the convoy, they will be unable to catch up.

In any case, the submarine AI is unfortunately very limited. don´t expect too much from them. You can be glad if they manage to draw away an escort or two....

[vdr1981]

There is no bug... You're supposed to use Options File Editor in order to match your Ship's Journal captain name and U-boat number with those visible in your Cpt Log (Ship's Journal tab).

[palmic]

It is not bug of this update, but Coastal freighter has invalid length set in shipping manual or visible model.
(I met him for the first time)

i Have 16x10 display (1920x1200) and i am using 8x5 mod.

When i am trying to getting the solution via RAOBF i see him as 11x3 (WxH)
At RAOBF 3 means about 3100m distant, the problem now is, that He should be max 10 width now (it will be 10 if he would have 90AoB which means max visible width). 11 is effectively behind 90.
I am approaching him for more than 30 minutes and it is this way from first time i got him into RAOBF...

(UPDATE) - Hmmmm .... At closer distance it became valid, he got now about 85AoB which is valid...
Maybe some fog or sea illness :)

I was thinking about what if somebody would try to create a new one in some very new engine and so...
BUT - there is so much goodies in this which came up as modes fixed vanilla SH5...
The radio where you can hear so authentic speeches based on history in that date (i believe i heard even Goebels sometimes later???) The radio messages about sunken ships.. escorts AI which could obviously be better, but it had to be a lot of work to make the AI even so...

And now it even looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, it has all appearance and labels which couldn't be authentically released commercially...

Simply getting range/distance of any ship while using attack periscope/stadimeter is false.... i idenify ship correctly align the mast...but range is always too short , any one face that ?

if i face a merchant i can manually adjust range...but yesterday encountering a high speed task force..my torpedoes were off by way too much ...it is frustrating
i got my speed the angle , but distance is always short...no matter how i try to aligh periscope .. any recommendations ?

this is a game killer for me ... besides i can do manual range estimation...but periscope and stadimeter is what i love

VDR always here for support as usual : )

ok i am downloading the link to do some proper reaading ,

wanted to add to points ,
1- my resolution aspect ratio is close to 16:19 , however hunting increased in an awesome way with 16:10 (8:5 patch ) as well now i get 99% accurate distance to target
2- i got a mission in 1940 July 14th to intercept task force ( this made my day )
i go there find 3 Blue whales ( orhumbacks ) singing beautiful songs :D:D ,,,is BDU in the mood at that month ...

anyway while returning back i found one massive convoy...took a shot at 4 big merchants and a destroyer ...all hits tho i have no visual confirmation :D


PS > i read this document before my aspect ratio is close to 16:9 and document says TWOS stock is 16:9...however i get accurate readings on stadimeter with 16:10 patch0.o

[wolfbaron]

to clraify
i currently have laptop 1366x768 , do i need the 8:5 patch or should i set game resolution to exactly 1366x768 Since the document says TWOS stock ratio is 16:9 ?

+ 1366x768 is close to 16:9 correct ?

If you do some math you'll see that the most apropriate resolution patch for you would be 16x9 (stock in twos)...

1366/768 = 1.778

16/10 or (8/5)= 1.6
16/9 = 1.777

I found that alt-tab to windows now could brake co2 clearing when you emerge. You have to restart game than to fix it.
No workaround available which is sad if you would like to put your PC to sleep when you have unfinished patrol mission.

To be short, your crew will suffocate even emerged now if you alt-tab submerged

Does hydrophone now works different in different depths?

I can confirm this. It happened to me twice.

Nothing has changed in v 2.0 but hydro detection capabilities in twos are influenced by surface noise from long time ago. 30 m and bellow will give the best sensitivity and longer hydro range...

I found this to be truth just for Beno.
I can hear the same at every depths, but this what i was talking about really happend, but it was not obviously influenced by depth.
That ships just appeared very close from the void at hydrophone.
I was submerged at 100% realism, so i couldn't see.

It happend just once...

[fitzcarraldo]

I made some tests about the CO2 issue, no problems in my installation.

I have W10, I go to desktop via "window" key, no pause in the game, see some things in Chrome (SUBSIM.com, Facebook), then maximize SH5, ever submerged, then surfaced, CO2 recovered to normal. No suffocation in surface navigation.

I will test this thing about hydros.

Maybe I'll understand what is going on when I encounter similar scenario although I'm not sailing/modding much these days...
So, that "phantom" ship/contact just appeared out of nowhere close to your location? Did you try to intercept it?
Could this be caused by "sticky destroyers" stock bug maybe?
What was your location when this oddity happen?

Sorry i cant tell as i dont play in "debug mode", only thing i remember they were all merchant and everywhere around, it was not strange because i was at one of the best locations at eastern coast.
I remember i attacked one of them successfully, so i believe they were real.
No-one of them was escort definitely.

Guys, noob question here. How do I move/edit an already plotted line in the navigation map?

So far I can only delete but it's much easier if I can adjust / move them... :Kaleun_Cheers:

Hi Unkki,

reselect the tool you used for your plotted line and place the cursor on the end of the line ( the plotted line should change colour ), now move the line how you want. remember you must have the game running to do this, it will not work with the game paused.

Good Hunting

Thank you sir!!!! :Kaleun_Salute::Kaleun_Salute::Kaleun_Salute:

[Brett Sinclair]

I bought SH5 yesterday and installed "Wolves of Steel" today; it improves the game tremendously. Thank you!
Just some questions concerning the difficulty level: How can I turn on the torpedo solution (the lead numbers 1,2,3), contacts and my own position on the map?
I tried different difficulty settings in historic missions, but nothing changed. I saw corresponding options in the map menu (the buttom on the bottom right of the map) but nothing changed.
Torpedo loading times are much longer, but that's more realistic, I suppose.
Thank you.

Best,
Brett

ps:
When turning off WoS via mod manager, why do most of my torps just run in circles?

[palmic]

Welcome on board, Brett :salute:

You have 2 options.
You can learn how to navigate (it's very easy if you start script for periodical position map fix in top right menu - those 2 gear circles second from bottom of the menu, then real navigation, position on patrol, then one of the options based at your current in-game time.

Navigator will
Then take care about your position at map.
Please be advised, this position fix are not perfect, they includes small mistake, that's ok, until you'll be very near of land, you don't need to have perfect position in map.

All the targeting against ships needs just perfect relative positioning against them, not absolute against land.
This is very realistic and i believe it was not implemented In any other simulator.

Your second option is to disable real navigation part of twos in jsgme (that application where you activated mods in)

[palmic]

Machine stop is too quick for me, best would be between 5-10s.

[finchOU]

Spoilers.....up to April 1940



Currently doing the NW approaches mission in the CW campaign. I receive a Coded message saying to RTB to rearm then proceed to Norway at best speed. Can I just refit and proceed there without actually going through the whole process of ending a patrol and choosing the next mission in the CW campaign?

Seems to me that my "days in bunker" will make me miss the actual mission if I end a patrol. I guess what I'm saying is if I don't "choose" the mission as it populates on the map.....can I still get credit for it if I actually go there and do stuff?

Like right now in early march of 1940 there are two missions populated...can I technically do both the Northwestern approaches and South Western approaches at the same time? :hmmm:

[palmic]

Yes you have to.
If you dock, your task will be gone.
Get out to Norway now! :salute:

[Brett Sinclair]

Thank you for your reply.
I practised realistic navigation and targeting now, and I managed to score a few hits.
But there is no way to turn the realistic option off at all (even with unrealistic settings in-game and realistic navigation disabled in mod manager I have to calculate more things manually)? It may be a heretical question to you, but I'd prefer it this way to start my career.

Best,
Brett

[Examiner2]

I can't download the 2.0 version from mediafire, is anyone hosting a torrent of it, or are there any alternative mirrors?

[palmic]

Hi Brett, if you managed few hits you are about to be very good Kaleun, in reality, most captains had very bad efficiency of few percents of hits..

Unfortunately i dont know what you should do to bring back old waypoints to the game.
It should be somewhere here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2298459&postcount=1)

[Brett Sinclair]

Thanks, I'll try.
Just reinstalled the vanilla game, trying to get rid of the circling torpedoes.

Best,
Brett

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi BS
Waypoints will only be seen when real navigation is disabled.
Nav and TAI header tabs in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV) if installed, have waypoint settings that can be set permanently either enabled or disabled.
On your boat you have Nav and TAI Map buttons which you can use to override the permanent settings in the OFEV just for the gaming period you are in.
The OFEV settings are mirrored in both the Nav and TAI map buttons on your boat so is easy to see how the OFEV is set up.

[redline202]

Just an idea...
There is a great mod for SH3 that doesn't allow player to go on flank speed for a very long time otherwise it can damage diesel engine. I think it's highly unrealistic that you can go on flank speed for 24h. It would be great if something like that can be implemented in TWOS.

Agree, this would be another piece of awesomeness here.
I never use flank speed until i am in real danger :salute:

And then maybe make it possible that the safe flank speed operating time is extended by your officers skill level :)

If I dock (end patrol) I probably won't be able to do the mission due to days in port.

Can I chose the mission if I just "refit"? Full disclosure.... I've never used the refit option. Always just ended the patrol.

The message specifically told me to rearm at the nearest port (Helgoland in my case) and proceed to Norway.

Hello, back to SH5 after a few years, this is a great mod, thanks!

I have a quick question regarding the 'IO_StrategicMap_7_5_0_for_TDWv750 Grid Req Fix' mod implemented, the screenshot attached in the documentation shows a detailed grid system, and some options for said grid in the bottom right (see the actual screenshot here: http://imgur.com/80YkuLk

How do I get these to appear? I have been given coordinates AN5588, I figured it would be somewhere around the mid bottom tier of AN55, but it would be nice to have the detailed grid nonetheless, how do I get this to appear? Thanks.

Hi All,

I followed the installation instructions and the mod seems to work albeit with some framerate drops but I had a couple of questions.

I had two SH5 folders. One in a Ubisoft folder and one in a Uplay folder, game launcher, SH5 etc etc. I originally installed the mod to the standalone ubisoft folder but that did nothing.

So I deleted the standalone ubisoft folder and installed the mod to the Uplay directory. It works fine now however the manual patcher installation did nothing at all. I followed the notepad instructions, copied and pasted the directory and then ran the patcher and pressed enter about 20 times but there were no files which came up for me to back up and restore. What does this mean? Was that supposed to happen?

As I say the mod seems to be working. If I wanted to uninstall everything and start from scratch, how could I make sure all downloaded and modified files were completely gone?

Thanks

For a successful mod installation you should at least know where is your game installed...:yep: Do you know what is your main game installation folder path? Check Generic Patcher's install instructions once again http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2311571&postcount=1649

A Warm Welcome Back To The Subsim Community > Saintaw


Thanks a lot, appreciated!
I have been here for awhile now (on & off depending on RL) I've had the game since release, but I don't think I ever went further than Jan 40, I tend to start a new campaign whenever I reinstall the game or a mod :)

I intend to try this time, I might need a few tweaks (tinkered in the generic patcher and haven't broken a thing yet).

I seem to be missing the chart mentioned above with the stock mod, I will have a look in the compatible mods.

One thing I would like to tweak is the map: I have a poor eyesight, am partly colourblind...so all the gray-lines-only is a bit of a mess for me. If only I could remove the dirt on the map itself, that would be great too.

Anyhow...like I said, I am otherwise very much enjoying this!

Edit, looks like I found a path: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2190351&postcount=41

[palmic]

You'll have a hard time to pass a lot furter as Vecko is releasing very tasty updates once for a while and sometimes you have to restart career :D

But only sometimes....

Once you'll be ok with some workarounds (for instance not alt-tab from game, or not to destroy friendly vessel), youll be very excited with TWOS, i believe its really best sim of U-boat (and vanilla SH5 is very worst of all time of course).

Enjoy :salute:

I play navigating the assigned area with only 2 numbers (I navigate all the area example AN 55; because I don't have the option for the mini table with four numbers.

Hi again,

Further to my last post yesterday. I have uninstalled SH5 and deleted all associated folders. I am now doing a full reinstall to the following directory:

C:/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/games/Silent Hunter 5/

So I know I'm supposed to install the mod to this directory however heres the difficulties I had last time.

When activating the TDW generic patcher, I copied and pasted the above directory into the appropriate genericpatcher.cfg lines. When pressing enter to create backup files nothing happened. There were no files to backup and no way to "restore snapshot".

What does this mean? As I say the mod appeared to work fine anyway. I am a bit worried about what is actually happening when I'm pressing enter to all the windows which appear to be warnings.

Lastly, I experienced a marked reduction in performance when using the mod. Momentary large drops in framerate. Is this normal? I have a modern PC greatly exceeding the recommended requirements for SH5.

Thanks

[Shibby]

Sorry one other thing. After all this process of uninstalling and deleting folders. I reinstalled SH5 fresh and found that it returned to the vanilla version with one exception.

It retained the time compression rules of the mod, I couldn't get it to go above 512x.

Why is that, how can I completely uninstall all mod, mod enabler and patcher files so as to start with a completely clean install of SH5?

Thanks

IIRC (It's been awhile), but the TC config isn't in the games folder itself, but in the My Documents/Games/SH5 folder. I don't think this gets removed when you uninstall.

I check this. I don´t have the option "Maps". My list of optional maps and charts/tables using TWoS 2 is different. No scrolling bars in the lateral.

I did the test with and without the SH5 Enhanced GUI. Usually I use SH3 UI.

This is how looks the charts menu in my TWoS 2 (with and without Real Nav). Observe is different as seen in your screenie.

You have some mistake in your decoding, everything needs to be Hydra.
My first mistake was i used encoded message date as valid date for decoding.
You ALWAYS have to use date from message text, not incomming radio trasmission date!

There are a few things you could be doing incorrectly.

1. Are you selecting the right month to get the decode of the 1st 2 groups in the message?
2. Are you remembering to vertically stack the first two groups to get the group and starting letters?
3. Are you selecting the right code plugs and start location for the month and day.
4. Remembering to type in the decoded group to adjust the start location before decoding the message.

Two main reasons behind problems with enigma messages:
- Player uses wrong encryption date

EDIT 2: I eventually got it to work again after patching and patching with the generic patcher over and over again, apparently UPLAY hindered the patching process.

apparently UPLAY hindered the patching process.

This is also stated in Generic Patcher install instructions as well...
I'm glad you've managed to solve your issue by your self...:up:

Just note that "100 % stable" doesn't always mean that the mods are actually compatible and that some of the functionality is not broken or lost...:yep:

It's already there...

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Vecko
Just note that "100 % stable" doesn't always mean that the mods are actually compatible and that some of the functionality is not broken or lost... I would not know what that functionality is in the first place.
Like you say when adding an update somethings in the update may not work just by enabling it.
1. When I add a mod to TWOS I want to know is it going to do what I want it to do?
2. Can I also see what I expect to happen will happen.
3. By adding the mod is it going to affect the games stability or cause a ctd.

It's already there... That is good to know that it now available again.

Hey I'm sorry to keep pestering you guys about this its just i'm new to modifying my games and have frequently got installations wrong. So anyway, this time it looks like its gone exactly as per the instructions except for one thing. The TDW Generic patcher.

I got all the correct files and backed them up. However when I did step 5 and restored the snapshot. I didn't have any option to double click
TWoS 2.0_Snapshot.gps. It just never came up and I couldn't see it anywhere.

Does this matter?
Should I do anything about this?

Thanks in advance

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Shibby
Did you follow all of Vecko's instructions?

1. 1. Open "GenericPatcher.cfg" file with notepad, found in this folder (Silent Hunter 5/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0)

2. If necessary, edit lines marked in red to match your SH5 installation path (eg. "D:\Games\Silent Hunter 5")...
Code:
ClientAreaWidth=1184 ClientAreaHeight=765 CameraManager.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 EnvSim.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 kernel.dll=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 sh5.exe=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 SHCollisions.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 SHSim.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 SHSound.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 SH_NClient.dll=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 SimData.dll=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
3. When done, start GenericPatcher.exe found in the same folder and select desired language.
Then, click "File" then "Open" and start hitting "Enter" key like crazy until you see this picture (http://s6.postimg.org/nhowwhb3l/Capture.jpg) (20 times or so)...

4. Click "File" - "Backup" and backup all offered files ...

5. Now, click "File" - "Restore snapshot" and double click TWoS 2.0_Snapshot.gps file...

6. Done...

*Make sure that SH5 and Uplay are OFF while activating generic Patcher. In case of unsuccessful patching, restart your PC and repeat the whole procedure.
Make sure that the game is updated to official v1.2.0 (not v1.0.5). This step is crucial for SH5.

When you see the snapshot gps file by double clicking on it automatically loads the patches in the file to the patcher.

Maybe this might be useful?

@vdr1981 , What exactly is meant by " it matters" what would happen ?

It means that without it, your game will stay pretty much broken despite all the mods you have...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433

everything seems fine aside one problem...

WOS adds those black hovering GUI elements(whit tick boxes) and for some reason, either due to a missing font or idk reason, text is not visible(only things visible are yellow/golden tickboxes and black GUI background.

I have attatched a pic of what i am talking about and how i can recreate the problem!

Well. I payed a couple of weeks with this mod. First I hae to admit it is the work of very knowledgable people. To make all the tweaks probablymust have been harder than the original coding.
This mod is a new and lightyears better game than the original.
However I noticed a couple of things:
Now you are up against super humans who dont make mistakes. Nobody has any reaction time or lag in attention every enemy is performing at 150% all the way trough the crossing the atlantic ocean. I torpedoed two ships simultaneously and as I missed the second both started to evade simultaneously (which I partly liked as in the the original SH every skipper was a dumb) it is very unrealistic as they have to radio to eachother and so on. For me the behaviour of the boat is also suspicious I cant believe that it takes a minute or more for the electric engine to drop to O RPM and it takes 5-6 minutes to stop from 5-6 knots. Yes the vanilla SH was written by people who skipped phisics in school but this is totally on the other extreeme.
So far I like it very much and thanks for the work.

[redline202]

This is a little bit off-topic question, I'm experimenting some stuff...
Does anyone have any idea how to move a deck gun without a crew help? What controllers are responsible for that?
vdr do you any suggestion?
Thanks.

So - I just finished sinking a capital ship in Scapa Flow, finishing the Breaking the Fortress mission.

On my way out of the area, turning to port while at PD with Ahead Slow rung up. After a few minutes, I get a CTD. Repeatable multiple times - at various TCs (1 - 64), at the nav map and the attack scope view, with travel mode on and off.

MODS List as follows:

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS]

The Wolves of Steel 2.0.0
TWoS Campaign Advance Verifier Testing
TWoS DeckGun Friendly Waves
TWoS Encr. BdU Orders
TWoS Map Contact Colors
TWoS UI cmd_Auto Ship Recognition
TWoS UI cmd_Radio Reports_A.S.R
TWoS Zones_Incr. Flooding via Zones 2
TWoS Zones_Reduc. Fires and Expl._Incr. Flooding via Zones 2

Anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to teleport back to base like in SH3 with the end patrol and return to base option?

[Able72]

While we are running a different set of optional mods, I did run into the same thing after sinking a battle ship in Scapa Flow. I finally gave up on it, and started another campaign. Didn't do Scapa Flow this time. If you find a fix I'd love to hear about it.

On another note, it looks like you have a redundent set of mods enabled. I think that

TWoS Zones_Incr. Flooding via Zones 2
TWoS Zones_Reduc. Fires and Expl._Incr. Flooding via Zones 2

Are two variations on the same thing and effect the same sets of file in different ways. So that effectively only the last one enabled is doing anything.

Hi!
I am not a German speaker, so I installed SH5 with English speech. WoSv2.0 changed that choice to German speech. How can I restore English speech to WoS 2.0?

BTW, I did do a search on this 500+page thread for "english" and only got one response - unanswered. thanks

[MCM]

german uboot, german voices :Kaleun_Cheers:

[Capt. Morgan]

Yeah, thanks for your reply MCM, but it doesn't answer the question I asked. Does anyone else know how to do this?

[MCM]

I know but as I have understand VDR right, that is what he was saying. Sorry for that :D But the text right down shows you the english translation.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi3c
The optional TWOS mods does not mean that they are all enabled at the same time,
These are optional choices.
You choose one or the other not both.
TWoS UI cmd_Auto Ship Recognition < Auto Ship Recognition
TWoS UI cmd_Radio Reports_A.S.R < Auto Ship Recognition

TWoS Zones_Incr. Flooding via Zones 2 < increased
TWoS Zones_Reduc. Fires and Expl._Incr. Flooding via Zones 2 < reduced

You can download the English voices folder from my Mediafire account. Just rename your voices folder at C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Sound\Speech and replace with English voices. Just make sure that the folder structure is the same as the original and it should replace most of the german language with English. :up:

Upload two of your last gamesaves (Documents/SH5/data/cfg/SaveGames/000000**) so that I can try to reproduce your CTD...Did you have uboat flags enabled when game crashed?

[Capt. Morgan]

@MCM :Kaleun_Cheers: I know, there's the translation, but for me that can be awkward when a lot of notifications are happening at once. WoS 1.05 (the last version I played) honoured the players choice of language.

@kevinsue :up: Thanks, your English Voices patch set me on the right path. I just disabled WoS, then removed the data\Sound\Speech folder from the mod

I fixed it!

How?

Redownloaded directx from link provided and let it run as admin, also used gpu settings showed in the link above(i had nvidia card so i used nvidia link).

Unloaded WOS mod from JGSME, after that reloaded WOS mod, and repeated install Step 4: and Step 5:

After that bug went away... :k_confused: :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

My guess is that something went frong in step 4 TDW? patching process...

is BRT full compatible with Twos?

Never heard for "BRT"...

I think he may mean BRF = BARF and if so is not compatible with TWOS

Could be hidden and hard to reproduce damaged group leader scripts bug introduced by Inteligent Random AI mod. If this is true I'll bypass the issue when I find some time to test Scapa mission...:yep:

Had the same , if you install the directx9c shared previously , you will not run into to that....just install it and try one more time

[vdr1981]

That could be merely a coincidence...
Did you receive "ship sunk" in your cpt log prior your Skapa CTD?

[3catcircus]

I managed to reload an earlier save and went from there. Unofrtunately, I deleted / overwrote the last 2 saves in the process of doing so, before seeing your post.

Assuming they are part of the stock TWoS 2.0.0 install, then yes, uboat flags are enabled.
