New on this forum and SH5, fresh 1.2 version just installed

[Pazzesco]

Hello from port of Valparaiso;
To every submarine captain on this place!

I consider myself a WWII and every war machine fan, I love Submarines, Battleships, Tanks and HISTORY (seems im not alone here).

I just starting to play the SH5 without any mods because im just so new, Im a little confused because of so much information about mods that I can't get in to the right path. I downloaded the las JSME version and im trying to get it installed. Im wanting to install just the neccesary realistic mods (because of the low computer specs).

If anyone can give me a hand recommending me the best "performance - realistic game style" mods, I will be glad.

Thanks again, and, happy hounting

Hi berbster, I managed to install JSME (I just uncompressed on the main SH5 folder). Then I'd downloaded some patches that I found but I'm still confused about which mods I have to install on my game. I tryed to find some actual post with the information about the mods that I need to install without compromising too much frames per second because of my low specs laptop.

Help me if you can, please!

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Wow berbster, thanks! I didnt expect such a great answer, you almost did all the job for me! I will start downloading every mod now, follow your advices and start understanding how this game works.

Thanks everyone, people who is welcoming me, berbster, and of course, the modders.

Hi, with the list of MODs provided here - do we still need to install the Generic Patcher, so called SH5.exe patches?

[RushTheBus]

Welcome! You've got some great information in this thread!

[THEBERBSTER]

Yes most definitely.

TDW’s Generic File Patcher is a must it fixes bugs, glitches and especially the torpedo problems.

You cannot play SH5 without this Patcher.

Never give your Torpedo man any bonus points.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433)

[THEBERBSTER]

HOW TO INSTALL TDW’s GENERIC FILE PATCHER CORRECTLY

“TDW’s Generic File Patcher” is a stand alone application. DO NOT put this in “JSGME” or in any SH5 folders.

Make copies of the following from your SH5 main folder, copy and paste them in to a new folder somewhere for safe keeping.

Likely looking main folder path. c:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

Sh5.exe

SHCollisions.act

SHSim.act

SHSound.act

SH_NClient.dll

SimData.dll

Cameramanager.act


Make another new folder and put it somewhere where you can find it easily as you will need to use this folder each time you want to make changes to the Patcher.

Give it a name you remember “TDW Patcher 152” or similar.

Download the Patcher. .

Click on the “Generic Patcher Icon” This is the “Application” and then select your language and double click on it.

Click on “File”

Click on “Open”.

You will be asked to select your first file path.

This is your main “Silent Hunter 5 Folder”

It may look something like this:

Computer

C:

Games

Ubisoft

Silent Hunter 5

Click once on the “Silent Hunter 5 Folder” without opening it.

Click on “OK”.

Do exactly the same for the remaining 6 files.

You will now see the “7 Patcher Files.”

Highlight the file you want to open.

You press on the + to open the “File”

File

Exit


RETURNING TO THE PATCHER

Click on the “Generic Patcher Icon

Go to “File”

Go to “Open”

Accept all of the prompts with “Ok” as they open.

Highlight the file you want to open.

You press on the + to open the “File”

“File”

“Exit”

Saves your changes.

This is a pictorial link below is from an older 5 files version that has now been replaced by the 7 files 152 version but it is done the same way.

As you can see this way is using the “Disabled Mod” way in “JSGME”

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=202346

This link below shows you how the Patcher has developed.

I HAVE SEEN A NEW PATCHER WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Go to your existing “Patcher”.

Open it as you would normally do.

Go to “File”.

Select “Take Snapshot”.

This shows you the “Snapshot Folder” that is within your “Patcher”.

Give it a “File Name” I will use “05.03.2014”

Now click on “Save”.

You will now be shown a “Confirmation Box”.

“Ok” it.

You have now created a “.gps file” of all your “Patcher” settings.

Install your “New Patcher” carrying out the installation instructions.

When the installation is completed.

You should now see “7 Patch Files”. If it is correctly installed.

Go to “File”.

Select “Restore Snapshot”.

This is in your Old Patcher “Snapshot Folder”.

“05.03.2014.gps” This is the one I made previously.

Click on it.

It will now drop in to“File Name”.

Click on “Open”.

Your patches have been installed on your “New Patcher”.

“Ok” to the “Confirmation Box”.

You can now open up the “New Patcher” and see if there are any “New Patches” that you want to enable.

Do I need to keep my “Old Patcher”? Only if you are sentimental.
