Alright computer guys...

[Sandman_28054]

My wife just allowed me to up grade to a "new" computer after a power outage wiped out my 10 year old previous model.

HP - Pavilion Desktop - AMD A8-Series

Specs:

2.0ghz AMD processor
Windows 10
8 gb ram
1 tb hard drive (SATA)
AMD Radeon R5

Is this good enough to install SH3, 4, and 5?

[Toxic505]

That should be more than enough to run SH3-5.

Might want to put a few more gb of RAM into your machine to help with the multitasking of daily issues

I was hoping so.

I have all three Silent Hunter games. Silent Hunter III, Silent Hunter IV, V Gold Editions.

Plus, I have the last five Command and Conquer games.

Thanks, I will install them tomorrow.

New computer:

I have installed:

1: Open Horizons II (Full) 2.2 ----> install it after TDW's UI
2: New UI's_TDC_7_1_0 ----> really outdated

These installed correctly. Mod validator shows.

I want to add these:

Removelogointro (The Dark Wraith)-----> is included in TDW's Generic Patcher
IX Boat Mod 1944 Loadout -------> never use it no idea
Krauters Automated Scripts ------> Trevally scripts are included in TDW's UI
UBoat_Snorkle_1_1_0 (The Dark Wraith)----> u can enable snorker from TDW's Option file viewer no need this mod
Equiptment_Upgrades_Fix_v1.4_byThe Beast------> included in TWoS
SH5 External Cargo 10 ------> never use it no idea

I need a good install order. What first, second, etc if you guys would help.

Sandman, honestly, I think you need twice that power in order to run SH4 and/or 5 at a steady 60 PFS with a resolution above 1024x768.

The mega mod link you gave goes to Wolves of steel.

I d/l TDW's generic patcher, but couldn't get it to work.

And I did follow his instructions. The last time this happened, (reformatted my hd) I printed out those instructions.

So far, it did run, but due to some mod install problems, I didn't get to start the game.

[Sandman_28054]

I know Open Horizons II is installed correctly, and TDW's UI also. (see: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2348631&postcount=5715)

I could go back and take out the others and add them one at a time and run mod validator to see where the conflicts are.

i really don't get it what u mean there sorry

[Sandman_28054]

Alright, call me stupid, but I've searched this forum, I've tried ever tip offered and, no luck.

Perhaps, somebody could post or direct me to step-by-step directions for installing SH5 on my computer.

See above specs for my computer and the mods I'm trying to enable.

I would even consider upgrading to OH II, 2.5.

Any help would be truly appreciated.

Excuse me, you are technically correct. It is installed on the computer.

However, I cannot get any of the mods to load correctly. I'm at work right now, but when I get a chance, I'll start the game and take screenshot of what it looks like when I'm in port prior to starting.

Step-by-step of installing mods should have been my question.

[Sandman_28054]

Good News Everybody, as professor Farnsworth would say.

Changed to OHII, v2.5
TAWS New UI 7_5_0
Grid Patch 2.5

And the games seems to run, however, I have no officers in the bottom right, none of the other tabs such as "Automation" appear on the right side bar, and the usual items attached to the top bars are not showing.

Advice?

I followed these instructions:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2182973&postcount=7

My list of MODS:

NewUI's_TDC_7_5_0 By The Darkwraith
Open Horizon's II, v2.5
OHII v2.5 v2.5 Grid Request Fix Patch SH5
RemovelogointoTheDarkWraith
Uboat_Snorkel_1_1_0 By The DarkWraith
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1.4 By TheBeast

[Sandman_28054]

Bump

[Sandman_28054]

Anybody?

How do you bring back the officers icons and other goodies?

When you enable TDW NewUIs properly, there should be no need to bring anything back...All should be there in front of you.

:hmmm:

Please take a look at this "old" screenshot.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1282595&postcount=24

This is exactly what mine is doing, rather, what it looks like exactly.

No camera views at top left. The tool bar on the top right is missing a few items. The tool bar on the right side is missing a few things. No officers icons on the bottom bar.

Everything installed properly. I followed the instructions to the letter. New UI's 7_5_0, deleted the documentation folder before activating. Ran JDGME validator after each install to verify. According to it, all the mods "installed properly" "no conflicts".

Those screenshots are obviously made without TDW New UIs on board. If your UI looks the same, than you didn't enable the mod properly ... Check some JSGME documentation...:yep:

Saturday, 09/01/16, finally, after many a many dirty words, I decided enough was enough.

Add/Remove Programs.

Uninstall Silent Hunter 5.

Played SH4 (Trigger Maru 2.5) for a few days, decided to give it another try.

Insert disk, and reinstall SH5.

Deleted all the previous mods.

Unzipped them, deleted the "Documentation" folder in TDW New UIs 7_1_1.

Loaded it first, as I had several times previously.

Added all other mods afterwards.

God is gracious, lo and behold, its working!

I did nothing new. I did everything just as I had before. :hmm2:

However, I'm not gonna complain.

On my fifth mission out of Lorient. (Atlantic Air Gap-Happy Times)

I still can't get Open Horizons 2.5 to work properly, (no matter what, I can't get "Player Guidance" off) but OH II v2.2 full works just fine.

Just an update.
