The Hydrophone problems are not MMM related. There are a lot of posts reporting this. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. :06:
I can say that it has happened to me too, but most of the times it works ok.

It´s included in MMM v0.2

2) These mods:

About NOZAURIO'S SKIN you have it included in p2 so is not a problem if you use that part.
About Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4 and R.E.M. you can try to enable it after reaper´s ui. I´ll try to fix it when i finish v0.3

I was on a 1 year break from SH5 and i remember that back then the hydrophone was working almost perfectly thanks to TDWs exe patch. I never had any of those issues mentioned.

When i look at my old mod setup i notice that i have used Magnum Opus, which is not in my mod list atm. Now, i dunno if MO has anything to do with the way hydrophone works but would be nice if we knew which mods affect the hydrophone so that we could possibly isolate the problem.

TDW is the expert for hydrophone. Would be nice if he could help us! :salute:

Have you tried this?

Optional aspect ratio!
 

If I am correct "Manos Scopes-patch for 8x5" is patch for your monitor aspect ratio and it will not work for many others so it would be nice to put some explanation next to that line for noobs that will mess up their "mod soup".
Else from that it is great job man,in my opinnion best mega till now,keep up the good work!

:haha: you mean like this:
Perhaps you need glasses :har:

Ups..
 

:damn: already have one ,sorry!

Hi!

I have one idea about what might cause your hydro problems. Sometime ago I had similiar situation. I had upgraded to the second hydrophone (can't remember the name now) and soon noticed that my contacts didn't make sound in hydrostation. So I messed with my mod soup and finally saw that it was working if I uninstall R.E.M_by_Xrundel_TheBeast_1.2. Not sure about this though, but I suggest you check it. UBoot_sensors.sim is the file that is causing worries I think. But it might be that this issue is fixed now?

And remember that slow moving ships don't make sound in hydrostation! Good luck!

I´ll ckeck this.

This is the conclusion I came to last night. I tried loading each part in separately then running the game on a quick test, starting a new campaign every time with default settings and options to speed things up a bit. I sprinted out of the Keil pens into deeper water at the harbour mouth and dived to periscope depth and tested the hydrophone. Every time I got the sounds of the ships in the harbour. I repeated this same test all the way through my mod list until I ended up with it like this...

SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.1

which is excactly the same as it was when the hydrophone wasn't working, but it was this time.

So I tried to load a new campaign and did my usual options....which included updating the sonar from the fixed array to the rotating array.....which wasn't available at that part of the war...sept 1939.

Sailed out of the channel, dived and.....no hydrophone sound, although I was getting hydrophone updates on the map, just no sound when I sat at the station. I returned and started another new campaign, with usual options but this time I didn't update the hydrophone, sailed out, dived and it worked...I could hear all ships in the vacinity.

BTW I have done the SH5.exe tweak by TDW, which works great when hydrophone is working.

So.....question is what now? Can pedrobas include a fix for this in v0.3 or even make installing the REM mod an option, I assume this is what may be causing the issue?

Me personally I would rather follow the technical updates as they happened in real life than maybe cheat a little, but thats a personal thing and I'm sure some folks like to have other options :yeah:

So you confirm that it only happens with KDB htdrophone? Have you tried the third Hydrophone, balkon.

I confirm this with the KDB. I´m trying to fix it. Testing it now.

No I haven't tried the balkon hydrophone yet.

Looking forward to your fix. Any idea what was/is causing it?

Yes but need more testing.

Sorry to say it but I have not KDB installed in my uboat and still no sound in the hydrophone. I don't think it's connected to KDB.
