TDW i am running 6.1.0 and when Bdu wants me to report "contact and position" i send them. but reply drops into my ' captains logs ' box not to ' radio messages ' box like 2 screenshots of col_Kurtz's post here. Do i have to edit something from options.py to drop replies to my radio messages box? seems like radio contact messages are dropping into my captains log and i miss those critical messages.

You have to pretend the stock captain's log doesn't exist anymore in the game (don't open it). It's junk to me and I'd love to get rid of it but currently can't.
Any radio message you get will be shown in the new radio message feature. If BDU has something to say to you when you submit a status report it will come, just not immediately (there is a time delay unlike stock). There is a good probability that they will have nothing to say to you also. That is probably why you are not seeing any 'responses' back from BDU.
By you saying that BDU is telling you to report position tells me the radio message feature for you is working correctly :yep:

You need to update to v6.3.0 of the mod. There were some errors in previous versions of the new radio message feature.

Ah okey TDW. well i am gonna just ignore captain's log from now on. thanks again for radio messages feature ! :rock:

Okay, seems that my problem is solved! :DL

When I started the game with this new version, there was a dialog box on top of the menu about saving log entries. No matter what I clicked nothing happened.

It seems that this was because of bad unpacking od the .7z-file! My unpacking software couldn't extract some files because the path was too long, too many digits or something. I just renamed the "NewUIs_TDC_6_3_0_TheDarkWraith.7z" to shorter "1.7z" and the extraction worked well! Hooray, finally I can test this!

I have never saved a log before, I tried creating a Log folder myself but it didn't help (don't know if i did it right). I went to desktop to see if there is some dialog box asking something but there wasn't. When I uninstalled the mod, everything was fine again. So could you Silent Steel please tell how did you manage to solve the problem? Or anyone else?

Hi Rongel

What caused this was a corrupt JSGME install. I have no idea why it went south. :hmmm:
Downloading and installing a new JSGME did the trick!
If that doesn't help I'd suspect that your current SH5 install is wrong. If you aren't aware of some changes you've done in a file and can correct it I think you should consider a re-install of SH5. :cry:
Feel free to PM me if you want more info from me!

P.S. Just saw you've solved your problem. :up:
Exactly what you are describing happened to me when I wasn't unpacking with WinZip.
Could you please tell what zip-program you are using?

TheDarkWraith 01-05-11 10:48 AM

I zip the mod up using ZipGenius (free download from internet) in the .7z format using maximum compression if that helps any

Rongel 01-05-11 11:07 AM

I had the same problem unpacking with Winzip and 7-Zip! Renaming the file to something shorter worked for me! Okay, here is what the winzip said (7-Zip said nothing):

Extracting NewUIs_TDC_6_3_0_ByTheDarkWraith\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6 _3_0_Scopes (do not enable - open and read)\emtguf_rework_scopes\emtguf_rework_scopes_5_ 8_ratio\data\Menu\Skins\German\Gui\Layout\Periscop e_Mask_1024_SH5.dds Unable to create file

so that was the one that caused the problem and stopped the whole extraction!

you can change the color and opacity of the scope's filter, crosshair highlight, and RAOBF graticules. Are you not able to do this?

:D
Not by real-value but as sliders:

I tried using the sliders the game has built-in but everytime I did it would CTD. So I said screw it and just gave edit boxes to input the data.

press alt+tab to see if there's a dialog box open or not. If not, can you post a screenshot of what you see on the screen?

Nothing behind alt-tab...
Some garbagge in bottom left

TheDarkWraith 01-05-11 12:52 PM

ctrl + F11 takes screenshot of game

From the looks of it it appears that:
- you edited your options file and corrupted it or
- you have a corrupt install

It has to be one of the two. More than likely a corrupt install :yep:

Gauthier 01-05-11 12:58 PM

Never did anything else apart install/uninstall mods.
When I deactivate ui mod, all seems to work flawlessly.
But I never saved journal.

Must say I don't use french menu file; despite I should cause version is Fr?
