Ahoy Simdruk,

I'll try to explain this to you in a few quite simple steps.

1 - Download and save the zip-file in a folder (for instance on your desk top).

To make it simple to find later give this folder the same name as the mod.

2 - Extract the mod into the folder mentioned above

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=1453
In my example the .zip file should now be in the first folder named "Accurate German Flags" and the extracted mod right underneath (= the second folder named "Accurate German Flags").
All mods must have this structure to work. I mean the mod folder followed by the "Data" folder)

3 - Copy this second folder and paste it into your MODS folder:

C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS

What is really important is to keep the structure intact!

Here is a picture from my installation folder: C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=1452

The mod is now in the right place in the MODS folder.

4 - Open up the JSGME

The mod "Accurate German Flags" should now be to the left



First choose the mod and then press the arrow pointing right.
The mod moves over to the right side and is now activated.

It doesn't matter if your JSGME is open or not when you are playing.

Just remember that most mods only take effect when you are in port. To be sure to enjoy the mod - activate it while in port.

Hope this makes sense.

Best detailed explanation I've seen yet! PM me a mailing address, you just won yourself a Ping Prize :salute:

I unzipped my mods and moved the folder into MODS, and they show up in JSGME. But some of the mods are in the game, and some are not. I have CCIP's Command Keys and the No Halo mods working, but the DW UI and old style gauges, not working. I am checking to see if the mods are in using a Historical Mission. Ideas?

What mod are you referring to?

Here's something to try: Start a new campaign under a different name, such as Test Captain, or whatever you'd like. Then see if the mod is working. If it isn't, then we have to dig deeper to figure out what you're misssing.



Neal, the mods should work in Historical Missisions or Campaigns. bigboywooly is right about DW's mods in that they have various subfolders that you choose from, but he does have a MODS\OldStyleSHControls_1_3_1_ByTheDarkWraith folder in there ready to go. The other folders and/or contents are for your choosing to be moved to that folder, so if you want something from the other folders, say "Dials\American\Imperial, then copy the contents (dials.dds) to the appropriate folder - 'MODS\OldStyleSHControls_1_3_1_ByTheDarkWraith\dat a\Menu\Gui', then enable the mod. He has a readme for those within the folder structure, so it's possible that you missed that. You can delete all the other folders before enabling if you want to, that's up to you. Try that and see what happens.

Here's the clear instructions from the download thread:



The only way someone could end up with extra stuff in the MODS folder is if they didn't read the instructions. :hmmm:

Oh yeah, I read that, smarty pants :haha:. But I already have a MODS folder in '\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\'

So, I should overwrite it with the MODS folder buried in the MODS\OldStyleSHControls_1_3_1_ByTheDarkWraith unzipped file?

Lol, it's probably simple for 99% of the players ;)

I think I have it now. Great mod, love the pure brilliance of the guages.

Question: did you do anything to move the bridge hatch forward a few cm? :hmmm: I started a historical mission and that darn Dieter is standing on the hatch and I cannot dive the boat :haha:
