If you are looking for a very basic set of mods, have a look to this neat guide by Trevally:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=190656

my very much stripped-down list of mods that I couldn't dispense with is:

NewUI's
Fx Updates
IRAI

:up:

The MO mega mod might be old/outdated, but for me it was much easier to just install one mega mod pack than go through all the mods myself to figure out what works with what, etc.. And old or not, it makes the game look fantastic. And, you can still find some new jsgme mods and add them over it if you like. If they cause problems, disable them.

I guess TDW decided it is not worth keeping up with MO.

Too many different modsd out there, too many opinions on what should and should not be in the mega-mod.

Also, reading up (catching up) on all the recently released tools by TDW, making your own mega-mod becomes very feasable: ability to catch errors is AWESOME!

Will take me a weer or so, but then I will be able to ENJOY THE GAME!

No time. Bigger fish to fry (aka exe and act patching!)

Links
 

Hello. Links on filefront.com dont work. Pls upload someone all two links with magnum opus and patch. Thanks

This is a very outdated mod. Many mods, including the UI itself, have been upgraded to newer versions.

Look at the sober's mod list or check out MMM Mod.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get MO to work but no joy. I have SH5 v1.2 clean installation.

I can get it up and running with some icons and empty dialog boxes showing, but they don't function. Or, the crew icons along the bottom of my screen and a tutorial box but no other icons???

Any ideas?

The answer is probably here somewhere, but I gave up reading this thread at page 29. :huh:

Ta.

MO download
 

Hi there,

sorry for being numb (newcomer) but, when trying to download, I receive a "403 Forbidden" answer from the Gamefront server.

Would anyone have a clue ?

It sounds like your IP range is being blocked.

From what I've heard, Gamefront is currently unavailable in certain countries. If that's the case, you'll need an alternate link. Unfortunately I don't have the mod, so I can't upload it to a different server.

Hopefully, someone will come along who does have it, but in the meantime, welcome to Subsim! :sunny:

There is a free and totally legit software named Hotspot Shield. Among other benefits, it also helps circumvent the Gamefront country ban.

Thnx
 

Problem solved. Fast & efficient, thanks to both.

It is not broken. Read below from post #1928 on ;)

Magnus Opus mod
 

Hi Captains,

I´m new in SH5, but played since SH1 all SH-games. I like them and are thankfull for all the modders, workers and supporter of and for Silent Hunter. :up:
I use Magnus Opus mod without online-connection. And allways the game finishes without my intentions suddenly in the best situations. For example right in the harbour of Kiel.
It is´n a CTD. The startloadung with the SH5-captain at the periscope and the comment: "thank you for playing SH5 for 53 min (or sometimes for 10 min, only !!) is at the monitor.
It is boring to have this every time under playing. :/\\!!

Do you all have this experience ? Can anybody give me an information about this stange thing, please ? :hmm2:

I don't believe it has anything to do with stand alone.

1) make sure that you have game updated to v1.2
2) remember that MO is a very outdated mod. Most of the included into MO mods have newer and better versions of them - a main reason that TDW stopped developing MO (at least for the time being).
3) if you adamant on using MO - make sure you are using the patch 0.0.2

So the problem is most likely has nothing to do with you not being connected to internet, but with outdated or not correctly installed mods.
