I should have thought of it before (call me silly)... :88)

I have added a new rocket sound into OH's sh.sdl. The same file is also changed by RPM Hydrophone. When the latter is enabled on top of OH, and the P-47 test mission is loaded, the game crashes as soon as the plane will try firing her rockets, as it can't find the referenced sound. Don't ask me why it only happens after having loaded a campaign though.

Tomorrow I will post a patch. :up: Is there any other common mod which overwrites OH's sh.sdl by the way? :hmm2:

The next German fighter after the BF 109 you said? If yes, the problem can only be in the Fw 190

Ran the validator for OH2.3.1 and had these error lines come up .
Silent Hunter 5\data\Air\ALBS_H8K\ALBS_H8K.eqp does not contain sequentially ordered entries (found duplicate [Equipment 53]) @ line number 232 .

duplicate ClassName of CVGlorious found in D:\Silent Hunter 5\data\Sea\NCV_Glorious\NCV_Glorious.cfg .

This again, I did not notice:oops:

Manually delete the folder NCV_Glorious from Sea
In ALBS_H8K.eqp continue numbering 49, 50, etc.

Reconnaissance squadrons organization after 1938 not specifically mentioned.
Before 1938, reconnaissance squadron = light bombers squadron.

1. Since August, 20th 1941, only for squadrons with new types of planes ("Il-2, Pe-2, Yak-1, etc."???)
Squadron = 3 flights (9 planes)

2. Since mid-1943 for Fighters and Attack:

Flight - 4 planes (two pairs)
Squadron - 2 flight + pair of commander (10 planes)

I am going to post a patch fixing those small oversights and the incompatibility with RPM Hydrophone discovered by vdr1981 :up:

delicious soup
 

I have recently pushed forward with SHV after months of soul searching.
I reached for OHII and must admit, during my reserarch, became seduced by some of the mods available. Rather than adopt the soup recipe of others, I decided to try out my own. I really want to keep it as simple as possible but I have already become confused by some of the combinations.
Below is my current soup. With careful focus on the bottom sequence involving OHv2.3.1 and the mnts mod, is there any reason why I cannot start a campaign? I get CTD when I attempt to start a new one each time?

Is there a known bug perhaps? I have a Alienware m17x with all the bells and whistles so im quite sure its not hardware...

IRAI_0_0_39_Inertia_Damage
OPEN HORIZONS II v2.3.1

Then the rest.

Also, I think some of those mods are outdated or even obsolete. For example, there's a Dynamic Environment 2.9 out. You need some more patches for Equip_Upgrades by TheBeast (check sobers list for details and order). I don't think you need Equip_Upgrades_Fix_1_4_AFFOE_151 if you are not using A fistful of emblems mod.
I am also not sure if External cargo mod is compatible with the newest OH. There's a patch for IRAI (IRAI_0_0_39_ByTheDarkWraith_Patch_1).

I've never used mtns - more traffic, nations and ships 1_8f but I'm guessing it's incompatible with latest OH.

I am not 100% sure, because I don't use it, but according to TDW's IRAI mod first post, you only need "IRAI_0_0_39_Inertia_Damage" if you're using his Ship Inertia mod.

This is why people just use a mod list like sobers. You can remove mods that you don't want from it and add the ones you do (provided they are compatible with the rest). That's the way to go.

I couldnt agree more. I have made things difficult for myself. I did the same with SH3/SH4 as well.
other than basic fixes, I have always strongly been drawn to having as many ship varieties as possible in game - hence MTNS mod. If I understand what I have read it should be compatible with OHII although possibly not the latest version...I have v2.3.1 installed and:

01 - Harbour_Addition_Environment_Enhancement MOD v0.5 - Open_Horizons
02 - OPEN HORIZONS II_full v1.8
03 - TDW_Mines_Subnets_Detectable_in_hydro (comes in: OH II v1.8)
04 - mtns - more traffic, nations and ships 1_8e
05 - mtns - OHII&HarbourAdditon_Fix_1_8a
06 - mtns - OHII&HarbourAdditon_Fix - restore minefields ==>Not using anymore[/COLOR] they are standard now in v1.8e ,see here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=156
07 - OH II Campaign Radio Messages v4 ==>Not using anymore they are standard now in OHII v1.8
08 - OH II Minefield map for TDWs Ui
09 - mtns - Enhanced FunelSmoke1.2_by HanSolo78 (comes in: mtns - more traffic, nations and ships 1_8c)
10 - mtns - Fix for Reaper7 UI - recognition manual (comes in: mtns - more traffic, nations and ships 1_8c) ==>Not using anymore see here:


This suggests to me it may only be compatible with older versions of OHII, in this case OHII v1.8

Is anyone trying to use mtns with OpenHorizons?

Also listed above is "Harbour_Addition_Environment_Enhancement MOD v0.5" which is compatible but does not seem to have been updated from v0.5. Apologies for the string of questions - :/\\!!

Well, looking at the amount of files it modifies, there's no way it's compatible. In fact I suspect it's the cause of your ctd.

For vdr1981 and others who use the mod "SkyBaron in Leigh Light for SH5 1.1" and maybe some others mods.

Note that now AS_USHeavyBomberMedWar and AS_USFloatEarlyWar incompatible with "SkyBaron in Leigh Light for SH5 1.1" mod because this mod replaces .GR and .eqp files (see READMY of this mod).
The same files is also changed by OHII v2.3.1 because added and shifted nodes loadout.
Generally, it is desirable before installing any mod, to check that changes this mod. I always do this, maybe that's why I do not have problems.
I can make compatible files for "SkyBaron in Leigh Light for SH5 1.1", it will take two minutes, but it may be better to contact the author?

Actually, I was thinking to remove AS_USHeavyBomberMedWar of the game, since I do not know what kind of plane? This is not a B-24, is not B-32, what it is?

Contact author ?! What for ? It's free for all SH 5 mod ,not a Hollywood blockbuster...

Don't waste any more time and give us that patch...:up:

I agree and all credit to the author of course :yeah:
:salute:

Here compatible files:http://yadi.sk/d/v25d9NsLG4aTh

Replace corresponding files in the "SkyBaron in Leigh Light for SH5 1.1" before installing the mod or in the game after installing the mod.
In addition, Leigh Light will have ALB_Vellington and ALB_PB4Y

:up:

Confirming I get the same issue in the museum (it is when trying to view the FW190) , and also with the United Kingdom - Fighters - FBSSpitfireMkVc.

It is a replacement for the B-24. I think Ubisoft missed usage rights for most US planes.

See also AFB_USCVEarlyWar (stand in for F4 Wildcat), AFB_USEarlyWar (stand in for P-40 Warhawk), ALBS_USEarlyWar (stand in for B-18 Bolo), ALBS_USLateWar (stand in for Ventura), ALBS_USMedWar (stand in for Hudson), AS_USFloatEarlyWar (stand in for Catalina), ATB_USCVLateWar (stand in for Avenger).

In other words, almost half of the few stock SH5 warplanes are fakes. IIRC SHIII and IV had the same limitations, but the community replaced the fakes with correct models, which can now be imported in SH5 too :up:

:up:

Thank you for confirming, Katze

@ Serge

any idea on what can be wrong in those planes?
