Do I need to get back to base to enable the new test version? I loaded the UI update while being on patrol and the SOAN is not showing up when clicking on Charts.

TDW, you said that I can move the scope to the right by enabling the offset in the HUD menu, but the offset is dead.. I cannot enter a new value. Is this also related to enabling the update while on patrol?

SOAN is not showing up because you probably need to reset its draggable position. Delete the file \Silent Hunter 5\Pagelayout_Draggables.TDW to reset Pagelayout's draggable items (and SOAN).

You cannot enter a new value for the scope settings because you don't do it via keyboard anymore! Mouse over the value you want to change and scroll the mousewheel to change the value :up:

You can enable the update while on patrol no problem.

What the hell is MO? Yes i am a noob.

Magnum Opus, the beta version of the mega mod. :)

No you are not a nob...MO is from Magnum Opus - it is a mega-mod used for a lot of people who make the sh5 to look like a new game

you can find this great megamod here:

cheers

I see , a question after installing new 6.4 I no longer hear verbal contact reports is that normal?

Save and reload the save... it is happend sometimes... not because tdw uis - it is a game bug

ROFL .. you know Vympel, I too didn't know what MO meant and didn't want to look like a noob either. Then, after some hard luck searching, I stumbled on a post referring to it. But, sometimes, we just gotta ask, you know! :D

Well, I still don't know what SOAN means. oops! Did I just say that out loud? hehehehe!

Have a good one!

SOAN it is the book where you can find the ships specifications - an manual recognition:up:

There is no such thing as a stupid question. And nobody is going to treat you look a fool for asking one. We might harass you a little about things you post, but seriously... subsims are very complex VERY complex. I learn something new on every patrol out.. and at the rate these mods come out or get updated you never fully educated! So ASK ASK ASK!

Its much better to ask and get a quick response on the forum then struggle thru on your own and get frustrated.

Truth is that is very hard to be/stay informed on large mods, so I may suggest TDW to better organize this thread. My suggestions is to move every patch/release info on the second post and keep the first one for direct links to the posts where the new features included in this mod were announced, like Venatore did in his mod topic.

For example SOAN. I would like to have a link on the first post of this topic to the post where the feature was released, so I can read more about it and keep track of the discussions and changes. Same with the other features. Is really hard to search this topic and see how these features are working.

What I really start to like here is that TDW gave us some powerful tools. If we build a standardization for SOAN, anybody will be able to change the info displayed in the book, make new skins etc. This is really awesome.. a mod that can be constantly improved by the users/community :P

Ubi server down?
 

Does anyone know if The Ubi server currently is down? :hmmm:

It's nagging about "an internet connection needed" and then offers me to log in using mu user and password.
When I try this it still won't let me in.

I think I have a connection tight now. Or?

It was just my Internet Provider that fu**ed up for a while... :nope:

Lets see if is possible to do something like this. Clicking on Additional Info we can open an extra page with more info about the ship. Dunno if we can make multiple extra info pages or we should restrict to only 1 page. Clicking on X we close this page and return to the technical detail page or by adding a [ return ] link.

Personally, I was pretty frustrated by the lack of contrast on recon manual when looking at the ship sil, so here is few attempt to improve this part too. If you guys like it, I can place an order to Otto & Toto Print GmbH for reworking the fleet sil.dds

Yes it is very possible to do something like that. I can even add additional pages if necessary via the arrows at the bottom like you have. I could add a Page x at the top denoting what page you are currently viewing.

Now here's another idea: We can leave the ship image on the left side of the page and on the right side add a listbox. The list box is scrollable and thus we can put an unlimited amount of text in it and the user can scroll it to read everything. You can see an example of the listbox with the flags and countries on the right side of the page currently.

Sorry, didn't know that.. :oops:

But on the other hand that's great. I really like your new version with smaller SOAN. Great job you two! :up:

You keep producing new mods faster than we can test them... :haha:
