High Contrast Nav Map with Inverse Shallow Colour > By NisGeis
 
High Contrast Nav Map with Inverse Shallow Colour

This mod changes the map colours, for those that have trouble differentiating between the depth information on the chart. It also offers the removal of terrain elevation information and also the correct nautical use of dark colours for shallows and light for the deep, as opposed to light for shallows and dark for deep on maps.

How To Re-Install A SH5 DVD Following Uplay’s Update Instructions For TWoS Players

This is a comprehensive tutorial so that those with very little PC experience can make these changes needed so they have the opportunity to once again enjoy playing Silent Hunter 5

This Tutorial is for players who already have the SH5 DVD version and a game installed rather than someone who has just purchased this version.

If you are re-installing and want to keep your previous saved games then change the name of your SH5 saved games folder which can be found here C:\Documents\SH5
Example to > SH5 Backup.
You can copy and paste the contents into the new SH5 folder which will be created in the new installation.

Go to the Control Panels Programs and Features and uninstall the Silent Hunter 5 game showing and also the Uplay Game Launcher.
Select to delete all saved games when prompted.
When both are completed run a Registry cleaner and re-boot your system.

IMPORTANT NOTE > Before re-installing your DVD it is very important to download a new Uplay Game Launcher.
This will stop the DVD from using its own installation which is the one which is causing problems.

How To Use The Ship’s Journal In Silent Hunter 5
This tutorial will show you how to place Supermarks on the Map and add text entries directly to the Ship’s Journal (SJ)

This Journal need not be treated as a Master SJ as you can make as many Journals as you wish.
When the game next loads you will see the name of the Journal last used, (Picture 24).
