[REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

With deactivated mods and TWoS in stock version I have already the same issue and the sub do not have any smoke exhaust effects.
I had no time for more testings.
If I have the time, I can try a new installation of SH5 and TWoS and check if this solve the issue but I think Vecko should say something to this issue before I do anything more.

hi GrenSo I recovered the SubExhaust 1.0.5 by TheDarkWraith exhaust smoke file I'll see I keep you posted tonight :salute:

[kapuhy]

I play TWOS mod for six months now and installed the update for 2.2.24 yesterday. But in main menu it still shows 2.2.13 in the upper left corner. Do I have to reinstall the whole mod, therefore SH5 Exp.Pack_v2.2.24_Full? And will my game saves be compatible with the new version?

Hey, if it shows 2.2.13 then you have not installed update correctly. Perhaps wrong folder or you didn't run it with admin rights, or you didn't disable all addons in JGSME during install? Anyway, you'll have to install update again.

As for save games, they will be compatible, though some of the changes may only take effect after you return from patrol.

I tested this first but with SubExhaust 1.0.5 by TheDarkWraith the game crashed if I load a gamesave or also just a historical mission, instead of the testmission from SubExhaust 1.0.5 by TheDarkWraith. I activated it at the end of all other mods but I tested it not as just the only activated one.

I patched it again with the correct installation path but it still shows 2.2.13. Now I do a complete reinstallation with the 2.2.24 full. Perhaps this will also solve my torp crisis :doh:

[Belmondo]

Hi! I just reinstalled SH5, previously I have just used stand alone mods installed with JGSME, I would like to try TWOS, but where would I find the current download version? Sorry to ask, there are 916 posts or pages to the thread, and I have eye issues, corneal transplants, and it would be extremly hard for me to dig through them all, thanks so much in advance.

[fitzcarraldo]

Many thanks for the new update :Kaleun_Cheers:

Smoke in boats: I see in 2.2.23 a very tiny smoke in the exhaust holes. Really very tiny.

I Have a destroyer that stays just in the horizon it never approaches and everytime I change course it does too. This is really annoying I can neither engage or disengage.

Is this a form of copy protection? Annoy me to death. I have the legal copy from steam.

Never Mind I saved and reloaded the game and it went away. Maybe a bug. I`m running the latest steam version with wolves of steel.

[Einsamer-Wolf]

So after a full reinstallation, both SH5 and TWOS, it still shows 2.2.13. I don't know if this is a bug, but this version doesn't seem to work for me :06:

I think you are a victim of an old bug of vanilla SH5, the "sticky destroyers". Save your game and reload it is the solution.

Hi GrenSo I just tested without the mods just TheDarkWraith :Kaleun_Wink:

I tested with the test mission ... then with the campaign ... it works but the smoke and very low ... even with different engine speed with the mods is ditto .... :k_confused: moreover it depends on the camera angle and the light otherwise you would hardly see anything
it would be necessary to ask vdr 1981 to know where to intervene ? :wah:

[vdr1981]

Hi Vecko,
can you tell me if it is possible that one of the standard TWoS mods can be a reason why the subs do not have any smoke exhaust effects anymore?


Nope, not possible. All U boats have visible smoke exhausts except Uflak...


I patched it again with the correct installation path but it still shows 2.2.13. Now I do a complete reinstallation with the 2.2.24 full. Perhaps this will also solve my torp crisis :doh:
You really have be sure about your SH5 installation path before you install TWoS

Fitzcarraldo :Kaleun_Salute:
In order to have clearly visible smoke exhausts, particles have to be set quite high. :yep: I have mine set one step from maximum for example...:yep:

[Einsamer-Wolf]

You really have be sure about your SH5 installation path before you install TWoS

Excuse me, but I know my SH5 installation path (E:/Spiele/Steam/Steamapps/common/Silent Hunter 5). TWOS therefore works absolutely fine, but it is still v2.2.13. Neither the update nor the full package changed anything: Top right corner says v1.20 and top left corner v2.2.13. I did every step mentioned in the PDF manual.

I use steam version of SH5 by the way.

Hello Vecko I followed your recommendation ... I tried to vary the graphics parameters but nothing helped (I was already at the maximum) :oops:

Okay it sems like I found the problem:

After starting TWOS without any other mods it says v2.2.24.
After enabling them, its v2.2.13 again.

The reason for the wrong shown version is the German translation of TWoS from Han2007, because the version is just a text in one file.
This is the reason why I do not use it anymore an play it in Englisch.

[GrenSo]

Well, smoke should be there...:hmmm:




I done today a complete new installation of SH5 mit all UBI patches and install than TWoS. Everything was fine but in stock version of TWoS - without any mods - I cannot see any smoke on the subs. I know I had it in past but I cannot tell when or when I lose it, because I noticed it last weekend with TWoS version 2.2.23.

Hi GrenSo I wanted to try a reinstallation but I see you still have the problem too so I will wait. Does Vecko play on nvidia? .. if yes we should have screens of its config with inpector that will help maybe no :06:

Do have AMD or NVidia and which driver version do you use?
In SH5 I have all graphic setting on the highest value. And I do not think that the settings from the AMD driver can be a reasons, because all other ships have smoke instead of the subs. :03:

processor intel i5 760 motherboard gigabyte P55a ud3 yes me also the boats have no problem n y the rest ... but the submarine very little to smoke ...
you should know the Vecko config with these settings because he has no problem oh yes my game is an ubi dematerialiser gold version :03:

Thank you very much! Now it works properly. And it seems like my Torpedo-always-bounce-bug got also fixed.

Happy hunting everyone!

[ingsoc39]

Hello, I want to play SH5 again on new pc, and with the TWOS mod, yes im late to the party, but want to play. Which is easier to do? I have an original DVD copy of the game, its it better to install it and mod that, OR I also have it on UBI digital connect, in which case, I see this in the install notes, and have no idea what that means. Can anyone help please? Many Thanks!



If you own Digital/Ubisoft Connect downloadversion of the game, you'll have to perform manual sh5.exe replacement before you proceed to TWoS installation.

[les green01]

i would go with the dvd if you use u-play or connect whatever it call then you have to copy the exe from your dvd or from the download here and replace the sh5 exe with it

[Kal_Maximus_U669]

My compass / rudder control is stuck in the bottom right corner of the map screen in TWoS -- can't seem to move it, can't steer. Help!

_Check your: TWoS - "OptionsFileEditorViewer" if everything is in order ...
_ uninstall all your mods ... then launch the game with your "Viewer" options in order.
_then go try your rudder normally it should work now ...
_then reinstall your mods ... do not add anything that is not Vecko's job
i guess you play hud sh3 style or maybe sh4 style ...:Kaleun_Salute:

[Sirrvs]

I've gotten the ship auto-recognition to work for the most part, where the weapons officer says the name of the ship, but I just wanted to confirm, there's no way to have the recognition manual automatically pop up with the identified ship, is there (like the way it was in SH3 GWX)? I know it's more realistic this way, but it can be quite tedious clicking through all the cargo ships.

Yeah there's an option for it in the options file editor program


Also, can anyone walk me through how to change the German voices back to English? I know, much immersion with it being a German boat, but I'd like to understand what they are saying lol

[Easy_Eight65]

Appreciate the suggestions, thnx. What should I be looking for in the OptionsFileEditorViewer? What order? In the middle of a campaign...I can uninstall mods without messing up my career?

Easy

never notice before but if you get close to the lifeboats they yell at you

[Sirrvs]

Thanks, I found an option to put the name and type of ship on the periscope (as in my screenshot below), but specifically, I was wondering if there's a way to automatically bring up the targeted ship in the recognition book, in case I want more info on the ship? I tried clicking on the name, but it didn't do anything.

[yagura]

Hi! I'm quite the newbie here and would like some clarification about some of the addons in JSGME.

Some addons are listed with the instruction "*enable the addon in port" - what does this exactly mean?

Do I need to disable the addon when I quit the game(before I start the game again?)

What if I have enabled the addon before going to sea and save my game whilst at sea, will loading the save file while having the addon enabled in JSGME make it still function correctly?

Thanks for all the amazing work! I will try to donate some day. :salute:

I believe it just means that it's not a good idea to enable the addon and then load a savegame at sea in the middle of a mission because that can cause glitches. Better to wait until your savegame is in port, then enable the addon, then set sail. No need to disable it each session.

Thanks, I found an option to put the name and type of ship on the periscope (as in my screenshot below), but specifically, I was wondering if there's a way to automatically bring up the targeted ship in the recognition book, in case I want more info on the ship? I tried clicking on the name, but it didn't do anything.

Sorry for the late reply, but it's here: go to the SOAN tab, enable the option that says "automatically enable charts and open SOAN to identified unit" then once you lock the target, open the weapons officer tab on the officer bar in game, click the button to identify the target and it will open up the recognition manual to the correct page for ya.

[Macgregor the Hammer]

Does 2.2.24 still use thermal layers? I've gone to ~150m and yet to find one. I've been in the Baltic, which is unlikely, North Sea, Norway Sea and the Atlantic and without any luck.

Insights? :hmmm:

[Sirrvs]

No worries, thanks, it works great now! :Kaleun_Salute:

Excuse me is there a more readable and larger compass?

Thanks again for this! But just wondering, is it normal that for some ships the auto-identification and the recognition manual don't work? For example, I was playing last night and my officer identified a troop transport with no problem, and it brought up the manual automatically. But then a Granville freighter came along and when I clicked "Identify target", nothing happened. No name, no recognition manual. I had to identify it the manual way (turning auto-TDC off). I think I read somewhere this might have something to do with "cloned" ships but wasn't sure what that meant.

Yes, it's normal since in some cases multiple cloned units have only one common rec.manual entry...:yep:

[Wolfynator]

Hi, I just installed this mod and going through the tutorial scripts, but I'm stuck at the "manual tdc 90 deg" one. It asks me to press space to track the target and a yellow marker appears on the map, but after 10mins in-game-time the yellow marker is still at the exact same spot.

Am I supposed to update the position somehow? The yellow marker doesn't even have the correct bearing as reported by XO.

Edit: After messing around, I think I got it figured out. Yellow marker was not the target but a map fix of my current location, and I have to manually calculate the location of the target on the map.

[Aktungbby]

Wolfynator!:Kaleun_Salute:

[Reuds]

Ahoi everyone,
I ran into a problem. I lost my CD so I bought a Uplay key, installed Sh5, it worked just fine, but after installing TWOS, when I try to open the game with Uplay Connect, it prepares the launch, and then I a get a window saying: "Game startup failed. Please check Uplay installation. If I try to start the game through the exe, Uplay wants me to give in an activation key? But if I enter my Key it says it is already used, I mean, of course, I used it to activate it into my Libary. Had anyone else related Problems and knows how to solve it?

EDIT: Don´t be a Reuds, read the Instructions.

[Lugermann]

Excuse me is there a more readable and larger compass?

Hi Vecko,


can you tell me if it is possible that one of the standard TWoS mods can be a reason why the subs do not have any smoke exhaust effects anymore?

I noticed this weekend that my VIIB has no more smoke effect and I wanted to exclude the TWoS addons/mods before I deactivate all other addons/mods to find the reason.

@GrenSo and Kal_Maximus_U669

Like both of you, I could have sworn I saw diesel exhaust coming from my sub during the Polish campaign but now I noticed all boats except the VIIC have zero exhaust. I think I've figured it out. I only have a few mods so I was able to remove them all and add them back one by one to test.

The culprit seems to be Dynamic Environment v2.9, including the main mod. Do both of you use it? As soon as I removed "DynEnv v2.9 - 1. Main Mod" in JSGME, voila, diesel exhaust from a VIIA!

Hope this helps! I still plan to use Dynamic Environment but it's a shame that it breaks the diesel exhaust.

There is a dynamic environment mod built into the wolves of steel already. You really don't need to add any other mods to it. And I say that as a mod creator myself. I made the Boogie's refit mods. Any mods you add to the Wolves of steel may conflict with fixes or mods already included in it, unless the mod author specifically says so.

[GrenSo]

Do both of you use it? As soon as I removed "DynEnv v2.9 - 1. Main Mod" in JSGME, voila, diesel exhaust from a VIIA!




I use some part of DynEnv v2.9 but noch the Main Mod. I user from DynEnv v2.9 only:



DynEnv v2.9 - 3.a Enhanced Visibility (medium)
DynEnv v2.9 - 6. Sleet for Winter Campaigns
DynEnv v2.9 - 8.b Wave Mechanics - Gale
DynEnv v2.9 - 10.I Seafloor (high resolution)

And in past I do not have any conflict with TWoS or something else.
I also test it with no additional mods and had the same issue.


But I can try it this weekend.

For me at least, it's mainly the increased wave height I wanted to add to TWOS from Dynamic Environment, unless there's a way to do it from within TWOS?

It should be in the right side of the monitor / screen. And you usually have to drag it to the screen.

I seem to have missed the update this year. My version of TWOS shows ‘2.2’. What should I install over this?

I’m currently enjoying my campaign and don’t want to start a new one. Will it be possible to keep it with the update?

Hello.

I am completely new to Silent Hunter 5 and TWOS. I played SH 3 a lot. I have two questions:

1. TWOS uses TDW_No_Contact_Colors_1_1_0 and TDW_No_Contact_Tails_1_1_0. Can I disable them so that the map shows me red colors for enemies and their direction (like SH3)?

2. Can I change the Auto TDC like SH3? Without the 3 numbers. Just "Fire and Forget".

1- Activate the addon mod contact colors with JSGME.

2 - Use the OFEV app and in the map options activate the Auto TDC according to your taste: three points or fire & forget.

PD: Use manual TDC. Be more agressive.

Hello :salute:

First: Brilliant mod, I absolutely love it, hardly enjoyed anything quite as much. It feels so serious, I've been missing that with games lately. You can tell that this hasn't been written by some heartless ubisoft guys but from actual enthusiasts. So heartwarming! Second: I am sure this has been asked a dozen times, but nevertheless: I am struggeling with Auto TDC. If I lock on a target it used to stay locked even when I leave the periscope for a moment or have a look at the map. But since I installed the mod it keeps unlocking itself. For example on the map locked targets used to be marked, now the mark disappears after a while. I also noticed, that the "lock target" button disappeared with the mod, does that have someting to do with each other and is there a possibility to get the button back? I did like it :)

Thanks for any possible answers!

About Point 1: Can I change the colors? I have a "red green weeknees" and can´t differentiate between Red and Green. And the "tail" on the contact seems to be missing.

About Point 2: I can´t find the mentioned TAC option in the "map option" section of the OFEV app.

I have another question: Can I disable the "unnecessary" radio messages which are in english? (I play with the german translation of TWOS). Or can I prevent the time compression to stop when they are reported? I don´t understand the different options you have in the game about this topic. The game should pause when I get a vital contact information but not when I get a "filler" radio message.


About TWOS: This mod is awesome! And very overwhelming. Is there a manual like the "Agru Front Lehrmaterialen" manual?

[kiwikid1940]

Hopefully some one can point out what is wrong with my setup.

On starting a new campaign I save on entering then close down SH5 and then open SH5 again and reload saved position.

After orders are given and I start the patrol I open up the 'Harbour Pilot' and pick the right starting port which is activated in green BUT as soon as my sub moves off the Harbour Pilot leaves my sub !!!!!!

No matter which campaign I choose the result is the same.

Am I going to have to uninstall SH5 and TWOs and start again???

Thank you! I forgot to load the settings.

I now have another questions: I have just started the campaign (never played SH 5 before). I have sunken some ships and reloaded my torpedos at a harbor. I wanted to finish my "Feindfahrt" and traveled to Kiel, my current "Heimathafen" (home base harbor). When I arrived I had no option to stop and go to the bunker. Can I only do this then the campaign time is over?


Also: I am now trying the "real navigation mod". Feels completely different. I just realised that the navigation tools are inverted: at my compass 0 is 180, west is east etc... This makes it difficult to get a precise new course. I have found a draggable compass with the correct coordinates but using the standard compass or the ruler would be easier. Can I change the normal compass? And why is it inverted anyway?

Thanks GrenSo, some people will probably find it useful, although you already know my opinion about the game tendency to award you with the iron cross every single month...:D

What do you think about to edit the award page in such a way that only the 1st date of the award can be seen and an award certificate is placed underneath as a picture? But I an not sure if it is possible to find for all six awards/medals a certificate.

So we have there only one date and not every month a new one.

It is a good idea but the award system of SH5 is highly buggy and, really, you can see realistic awards through KSD. I made five good patrols with 239700 tons and only I have an Iron Cross in SH5 TWoS, in KSD I have four more realistic awards for the tonnage. Old bug of vanilla SH5, it seems a hard coded issue.

Hello.

I have some questions about "send contact report". I read multiple times that it could summon friendly submarines and or aircraft, but have never found any proof of it (image or video). Is it even worth doing? What are the chances that the convoy itself will detect the transmission and will send DCs to rek you and change convoy heading? How long does it take for friendly subs and aircraft to get to you? How usefull are they? BDU reply also says to stay undetected so it means that you have to waste more time while convoy is about to hit british coast in couple of days?

With which ships did you notice missing bubbles? ShipBubbles zone that generates this effects works fine in SH5 and many ships do use it. I haven't checked all, but adding relevant zones to a ship is literally 5 minute job.

Just looked at it and Cimmaron doesn't use bubbles. This is a stock game ship so I suppose other stock game ships might not have them too, as opposed to imported SH3/4 ships where I often saw bubbles zone used.

I'll post instructions how to change this in ships later today.

[Vertigooo]

I see errors in the Excel file included in WoS for calculating the correction of altitude due to refraction.


1) The correction for refraction is to be applied on the apparent altitude (measured altitude minus the dip). It is not the case in the file


2) Parenthesis in the formula for defining the refraction correction is not correctly placed


1/TAN((B31+7,31/(B31+4,4)*PI()/180)) should be
1/TAN((B31+7,31/(B31+4,4))*PI()/180)


3) Apparent altitude in the formula is to be defined in Degree (°) (B31 here above in Degree). It is not the case in the file



It means that the correction due to refraction is totally wrong. Hopefully the influence of refraction on the final result (transfer on the azimuth line) is quite small

[Vertigooo]

Of course my previous post is only valid if refraction is simulated, what I don't really know.

Influence of refraction starts to be significant with low altitudes (deviation of 2.5 arcmin at 20°, deviation of 10 arcmin at 5°) and it is not usual to measure altitude close to the horizon.

I've downloaded it many different ways, but each time that's the end result. and the worst part is I only want this mod so the tonnage bar bug can go away, I'm not even interested in the graphics, realism, or anything else. I just wanna make this game playable by removing that one stupid bug

if you downloaded it once and your getting game startup fail you dont need to keep downloading the mod did you change the sh5 exe if your using uplay or uconnect

[ghostfacexx115]

how do you change the sh5 exe?, because I am using uplay version

TwoS doesn´t have the vanilla GUI/interface. You have several options for the GUI in TWoS using OFEV. No other GUI/interface mods are compatible.

Also you have some movie mods for the introduction and backround menu.

You can cut the New UI TDC from TWoS and then you will get a standard interface. In principle, I can do this for you. But it will take a little time and you will need to reinstall your game and install a new version of TWoS (standard interface).

The last official version of TWoS is 2.2.24, like you can find here as download and in the signature from Vecko. Vecko also doesn't inform of a newer version.

Where do you found an information about a version 2.2.26 and 2.2.29? Or it is possible that you mean and found version 2.2.6 instead of 2.2.26 and 2.2.9 instead of 2.2.29?

I checked it again and it is 2.2.6 on my Harddrive must have read a 2 more.
When 2.2.24 is latest then all is fine, I install that. 2.2.29 I have found via Google, or I also readed a 2 more.

Hi everyone, thanks for this megamod, it is very beautiful, respect for mod developers. Since the release, I've been playing this mode occasionally and I'm still waiting for two adjustments that frustrate me. The first big thing is no shaking of the sub-interior during deep charging and the second thing is a small depth gauge for great depths in the submarine control room. If it was at least the same as in a room with a hydrophone or bigger, it would be great.
These are small things on a huge and great supermod, but I would be interested in the opinion of others. Thank you and good hunt :Kaleun_Salute:

Hey all.
I have downloaded full TWoS 2.2.24, and I am enjoying it.
Thanks all for all the work!
However...I think that I have found one bug that is really annoying.
I am not a noob in TWoS installation, I was playing TWoS a lot before.
But there could be always a chance that I have missed something.

I will try to explain the situation where this bug/glitch has appeared, so maybe someone can recreate the scenario or explain to me why this is happening.

On the first mission with Polish destroyers, I was in a night situation where I have spotted Polish destroyers and they were alerted by the
German aircraft, so they have turned on their search lights, pointing them into the sky. From my distant perspective I was at surface but looking
trough periscope at the distant lights from destroyers in the night. Then this glitch/bug started to appear, the light from destroyers were causing
too much light on the ocean in the direction where I was looking the destroyers, the whole ocean would appear to be flickery and white with lights, it's really annoying. But when I would turn the periscope away in the other direction, that light flickering glitch would disappear. I have tried with other environment mods, it's always the same thing. So do you guys know about this glitch bug with flickering lights in the night? And if so can someone tell me how to fix this, I am playing in 1920x1080 resolution.

Thanks.

was it doing it before you try other environment mods or did you just install the other other environment mods and started playing

[dive3452]

It looks like I did mess something with environment mods, but I did disable them all later and still there was that light glitch.
Now I did a new campaign start with no mods at all, and it looks like everything is working fine, no bugs or glitches.
Sorry for false alarm.
Can someone point me to some good tutorials with sextant in SH5, I did watch them on youtube, some of them are good, but they don't explain everything.
I did also read the documentation, what I don't understand is how do I find location of my sub on map with those coordinates from sextant?

Refraction was not correctly implemented in your Excel File (see my previous posts). Did you correct it?

[Alpheratz]

Refraction was not correctly implemented in your Excel File (see my previous posts). Did you correct it?

I accidentally saw your post and looked at the previous ones about refraction. My table in the range of altitudes of 40-20 degrees gives an underestimation of refraction by 0.1 arc minute (for an altitude of more than 40 degrees, there is no error in the refraction value). In the range of 20 - 10 degrees, the error is comparable to the uncertainty in measuring the altitude, but still noticeable - 0.2 - 0.5 arc minutes. Serious discrepancies are observed for an altitude of 7 degrees and below, but in practice it is not desirable to carry out such measurements, even with careful consideration of air temperature and atmospheric pressure. Nevertheless, I took your notes into account, as a result of which now my table has become a little more cumbersome in formulas, but it has become more accurate. I am not updating TWoS, but you can always download the current version of the table "SH5 celestial navigation Sun, Moon, 58 stars" from the link in my signature.

Yes, this can happen sometimes during sunrise or sunset, when ships activate their search lights. Possible that few tweaks in sea reflection parameters could solve this but i't not entirely sure how...

To use my moon spreadsheet, remember to also use the moon special almanac that I have compiled.

Ship's speed

it seems I found a small 'discrepancy' with ships .cfg files (data/Sea).

the following 3 ships (I guess imported from SH3): NLTSf, NLTSf2, NOM_Paula have unit type 108 (Small/Medium Freighter), but are being displayed as Tankers in Recognition Manual.

It's ok. Campaign files use unit type to determine which ships can be used in which groups (convoys). In stock game, this didn't matter much, but in TWoS sea traffic is set to be as realistic as possible and this means many more group types and more complicated rules as to what ships they can use. Since there's no possibility of creating new unit types, vdr1981 had to creatively use existing unit types for new purposes.

In TWoS, Type 108 is used for all small to medium cargo ships and tankers, that are used in small, less escorted or coastal convoys and traffic. Thanks to it, you won't see 10000 ton tanker or troop transport sailing in small unescorted group. This has nothing to do with ship recognition, only with telling program which convoys is this ship allowed to spawn in.

TL,DR: this is intentional, look for recognition manual category for recognition purposes and leave unit types as they are if you don't want to screw group composition in convoys.

hi kapuhy,

thanks for your detailed answer!:salute:
Only changed the description for recognition manual, since the ships I mentioned are freighters, not tankers.

NLTSf, NLTSf2, NOM_Paula? These are tankers, all three.

p.s. as fas as I see, all tankers in TWOS are under Type 101 (except for coastal ones, which are referred to 'Coastal vessels' unit category).

Most are Type 101 (Tanker) - these would be showing up in large convoys that could historically have tankers in them (oil supply convoys for example). Type 108 (those you mentioned) in small, less protected convoys (along with small freighters). Type 104 tankers are coastal tankers that are not usually protected and are too small and slow to sail in convoys. You can spot them along the coast together with other small ships like fishing boats or coasters.

Yes, i did that intentionally. I didn't want some small tankers to appear in large trans Atlantic convoys regularly. I wanted to keep them in coastal and other shorter routs. In game, player won't notice any abnormality regarding 108 type assigned for some tankers...:yep:

Hi, what do you mean by nothing really happens?
What OS do you have?

[Hishmaliin]

Hi, what do you mean by nothing really happens?
What OS do you have?

Windows 10 Pro

By nothing I mean absolutely nothing. I install the mods in the silent hunter dircectory (where the .exe file is located) and turn on the game but its vanilla. I also try to do different things like save-load on sea and in the bunker, turn mods on and of and nothing happens :P

[Hishmaliin]

Hishmaliin!:Kaleun_Salute:after a 2year silent run!:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Yeah, thought I will go for subsims again :P SH4 was pretty cool so I bought SH5 but it seems much cooler with this mod on the videos

[palmic]

Ok, What JSGME modding app does, is that it literally copy mods files into game directory, so its impossible to have game vanilla after mods installation.

So i would recommend to watch some JSGME usage tutorial, uninstall TWOS and also Silent Hunter 5, delete even game directory and then install everything back step by step by manual.

Note that you dont have to install JSGME in TWOS as its already installed after TWOS installation finishes.
You also dont have to unpack mods there etc. you just have to start JSGME as Administrator and activate mods which are already there for you from TWOS installation.
ALWAYS run JSGME as administrator
This tutorial is just to have idea, how JSGME works:

First mission where i met some steel after years off :salute:
First time i returned to Wilhelmshaven too early and i didn't know i was still not rebased from Kiel, so i just refitted guessing its because of unfinished patrols returned to English east coast..
I forgot lot of things, but now i am back :)

BTW. don't you know why KSD shows me 0 renown? :hmmm:
I was even starting new mission and i have no tonnage in KSD at all (2 missions done, which seems to be accurate)
Date in KSD is accurate to my current date in new mission after this one successful here, however tonnage was not respected.

Hello Vecko
I have asked here before, but unfortunately I have not received any answer. I have TWOS updated to the latest version in that should the French fleet anchor in Toulon. Unfortunately, I don't have a fleet in Toulon. Don't know where the problem might be?

I need some help .... I extracted the files of the MEGA pack to the root game folder but when I select New Campaign I see NO area where I can type "silentotto"

[Aktungbby]

New comers may spend hours reading threads just to learn which mods to install. Even though there are threads where everyone list the mods they're currently using the list is often forty or more mods. This becomes confusing and tiresome. Where I once listed a set of recommend must have mods to start out with I now recommend you try The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod . There is also Magnum Opus v0.0.1 (BETA version for testing/feedback purposes). If you still rather custom mod it yourself then start by reading SH5 Mod Guide for Beginners.

When you install from the dvd if you want to use English type with German Language Speech select custom install.

NEWS FLASH
If you like to use your DVD to install SH5 on a new or different computer then your original install you may do so. Here's how;

The key is that the UbisoftGameLauncher that installs with the game is not enough. You must go online to your Uplay account and download the UbisoftGameLauncher App and install it all over again. It will give direct access to the log onto UPlay through a dialog box.

Once you have the dialog box you can click the gear box to change settings. Go to Network settings and check the box to 'Always start Uplay in offline mode'.

You may have to sign in and go online once and change to offline but I don't believe so.

Also if anyone is running Windows 10 or 8 you must change the SH5.exe properties | Compatibility and check 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings' ...as well as.... 'Run as administrator'

BEFORE YOU MOD
Check your game version is up to date. If not run the Updater found in your drive; \Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe

If your game stutters try antilag for a stable frame rate and smoother graphics.

Next play the first campaign mission and complete it. It is a get to know the boat and crew tutorial and the full interface doesn't become available until you're done with this mission.

You could add mods at this point but you may want to do a mission with the full default interface and find out what's going to annoy you the most.

Set Game Options for the realism you want before going any further and starting your first real campaign mission. Whether continuing after the tutorial completion or starting a new campaign under a new name the game will present a mission diagram of the war years. Only the next mission will be available unless you apply the hack. There is no input screen here, just type silentotto to hack into all the missions throughout the years. Trust me just try it. Then choose your mission.

You will be in the sub bunker to begin the next mission but since you applied the hack you have no renown. Press ESC to go back to the main menu screen. Now go to the save\load screen and click on the top save which was autosave for you when you enter the hacked mission. This enters you back in with renown. Go see the supply officer first then see the flotilla commander.

Open Horizons is included in TWoS and if you overwrote it with OH vanilla, you lost all the tweaks and addins Vecko added to OH in his own TWoS campaign (An overhauled OH). Also, you could have a CTD...

Good day
so I already know how it is with the French fleet in Toulon. The fleet is moored in Toulon, but not until November 7. The fleet self-submerged on November 27. Would it be possible to place a fleet in Toulon for both Mediterranean campaigns?
Is it impossible for Toulon to guard French destroyers instead of Italians?

There are differences between the Win7, Win8, Win10 & Win11 dialogs. Similar, but not quite the same. On your left-hand "Properties" page is the "Change high DPI Settings" button, which will then open that little window to the right with the "High DPI scaling override" section at the bottom. You click on the tick-box for "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and choose with the drop-down box under "Scaling performed by:" and select "Application" there. "OK" and "OK" your way out, and it should be set. However, on my computers, I also have to tick the "Disable full-screen optimizations" on the main "Properties", "Compatibility" section, and one of my computers has the top of the 2nd page to the right set also, under the "Program DPI" section, with the "Use this setting for scaling problems..." which then activates the dropdown for the "Use the DPI that's set...", which I have at "I open this program". That is a laptop with onboard video, and Win10 wants to "smooth" everything, so that tells it not to interfere with SH4 on my machine. Settings for SH5 most likely will not be quite the same, and your computer is probably also different. Experimentation is key. :salute:

no there is no bug..!! the problem lies in your installation, that's for sure.

Hey people,


My weather keeps getting stuck. Sea state wouldnt bother me as much as wind coming always from the same direction at the same speed for 5 days straight.

I deleted the game, reinstalled the game and the mod ( I did keep my campaign save), and now more of the same. Is this normal? I remember weather constantly changing and liking that.. Not necessarily sea state, but from no fog to light fog and so on... Is there a fix? Is it a bug? Can I change values for maximum time set for weather conditions like in sh3 if its not?


Also when under water, my telegraph (I use sh3 controls) always goes one down what I tell it. Ie: If I say 2/3 it will be 1/3, etc.. ( ok apparently its normal, however weather bug is still there in a new campaign I tried)




Thank you

Hi,


I have just a short question, because I'm a little bit surprised.


Today I finished the chapter The Black Pit and start the new chapter Turning Point. Everywhere i read that the stock boat in chapter Turning Point is VIIC/41 but I already have VIIC at 1st mission choice between TW Spring 43 and a traings drill mission at Kiel in 1943/03/1.


Will I get the VIIC/41 later at this chapter or will be the VIIC/41 only in last chapter The Final Years availible?
For a short test I start a new campaign and use "silentotto" to start at Turning Point but I have at 1943/03/1 just a VIIC too.

I noticed that you are always dissatisfied with something.

I noticed that you are always dissatisfied with something.

Not dissatisfied, just inquisitive, curious and I want to understand the background. I also like it to be realistic if possible. :Kaleun_Wink:

[jorca2]

Good afternoon everyone. After a long time without trying I have decided to play TWOS again. I think it is the game to which I have dedicated the most time without obtaining results.
The problems I have detected are the following:
1. The attack periscope often has trouble detecting the enemy, so I cannot calculate the torpedo solution.
2. My avatar's binoculars sometimes don't work. the mouse wheel doesn't make it work.
3. the enigma machine has never worked for me. in September 1939 it calculates me for Potsdam so the result of the encryption is unintelligible.

I would also like someone to remind me to change the attack periscope view to one that looks better in the field of view.

It's a pity I have many errors that make it difficult to play. ( i play with ubisoft version)

[Able72]

First, I love the mod. I put own SH 3,4, and 5. Uboat, Silent Hunter, and various flight sims. I play each for a while and put them down. Then a year or two later, I pick one back up again. This is the mega mod I always come back to for SH5.


I do have a question though, I've looked, and tweaked settings, but I can't seem to get 100% realism, and can't find in any of the documentation explaining to me why this is. Can anyone please help me understand? Thank you.

[propbeanie]

I am not certain of this with SH5, but in SH4, the GameplaySettings.cfg file (game / data / cfg folder) holds the info, such as:
[RealismPercentage]
LimitedBatteriesRealismPercentage=4
LimitedCompressedAirRealismPercentage=2
LimitedO2RealismPercentage=4
LimitedFuelRealismPercentage=3
RealisticRepairTimeRealismPercentage=2
ManualTargetingSystemRealismPercentage=24
NoMapUpdateRealismPercentage=16
RealisticSensorsRealismPercentage=4
DudTorpedoesRealismPercentage=2

NoStabilizeViewRealismPercentage=9
MPShowPlayerNamesRealismPercentage=0
MPShowTorpedoesRealismPercentage=0
NoShipHealthBarRealismPercentage=0

So if you would post back with the percentage you can actually get, closest to 100%, someone could probably more easily tell you where to look. :salute:

[Able72]

Ok, this is driving me nuts. I searched last night and found it, but didn't get a chance to review and figure out if it was the right one or not. I've got some free time at work now and am searching for it again and can't find it.

You can find the dds files (pictures) from the standard key settings, you can see ingame with F1 key too, here:

data\Menu\Gui\keyboard_binds.dds
data\Menu\Gui\keyboard_binds_shift.dds

But you can change with the SH_Keymapper (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4715) the settings anytime to you own wishes.


Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I knew about the F1 and how to change them, but I wanted to start from the base settings that Wolves of Steel had and relearn those, then work on setting up and modifying my own.

I am not certain of this with SH5, but in SH4, the GameplaySettings.cfg file (game / data / cfg folder) holds the info, such as:[RealismPercentage]
LimitedBatteriesRealismPercentage=4
LimitedCompressedAirRealismPercentage=2
LimitedO2RealismPercentage=4
LimitedFuelRealismPercentage=3
RealisticRepairTimeRealismPercentage=2
ManualTargetingSystemRealismPercentage=24
NoMapUpdateRealismPercentage=16
RealisticSensorsRealismPercentage=4
DudTorpedoesRealismPercentage=2
RealisticReloadRealismPercentage=4
NoEventCameraRealismPercentage=2
NoExternalViewRealismPercentage=9
NoStabilizeViewRealismPercentage=9
MPShowPlayerNamesRealismPercentage=0
MPShowTorpedoesRealismPercentage=0
NoShipHealthBarRealismPercentage=0
NoGunProjectilePathRealismPercentage=0So if you would post back with the percentage you can actually get, closest to 100%, someone could probably more easily tell you where to look. :salute:


Here is the information you asked about.

This could come handy too (https://subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2579119&postcount=11313), i dont remember, but i believe there are some extra shortcuts not specified on keymap.

Hello Captains, I've returned to SH5+WoS after many years. I love you all. :)

I found that I couldn't get map contacts to work(I'm a lightweight and need lots of help hitting anything with a torpedo). Overall, I was really having a hard time getting my Game Options to take effect.

I struggled for many hours and then saw a hint: Change Game Options while you're in the Bunker and they will take effect and remain. It worked for me!

I hope this helps anyone having the same issues. And a big thank you to this community. All the love for this game has returned for me now. It is really a fantastic experience. Happy Hunting, Captains!

Hello. I have a simple question and I am sorry the answer must be simple but I can't figure it out..
Where can I find the file "TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py" when I want to modify the setting in the TWoS - OptionsFileEditorViewer program ??

Thanks you for the tip :p
