Now let me get this exactly right for you . Heres what happens .
My mod list is enabled with the mod enabler .
Patch with the latest patcher .
enable all the patches .
Check patcher by opening it again and can open ok.
Disable all mods in mod enabler .
Enable the Independent_Engine_Controls_Testing mod.
Open the patcher and i get the error "error reading patches"
Copy over the patches to the sh5 game folder again.
Open the patcher and the patcher now opens.

I just cannot fathom what the mod enabler or mods have to do with anything regarding the patcher ?

I just tried the engine controls again and i cannot get it to work .
All True on both sh5 and sim patch .

Try this: use clean, umodified (i.e. stock) files for SH5.exe, SHSim.act, and SHCollisions.act. Make a mod of them. Patch for the independent engine controls and point it to the mod you just made for the files. Enable the mod. Test.

Thanks, TDW! I forgot that! :damn: Fixed now! :up:

@Sober - did you enable the Independent_Engine_Controls_Testing mod? You have to enable that mod for the single mission and it has the Page Default Hud.py file needed for the commands.

Yes , just reinstalling the game now , give me an hour or so .

Has anyone been able to use the independent engine controls patch with the single mission successfully besides me :06:

Yes! I tested! Working ok for me! :salute:

Good to know. Please try and break it :yep: Try and make it do something it's not supposed to (like change engine speed on engine recharging batteries). I want to ensure it's solid before moving on with it :up:

Its working now .

when i press u to disable the port prop and then hit 1 for ahead slow . The sub goes to ahead slow and the starboard prop spins but a message comes up in the message box saying cannot comply . The speed indicator arrow stays on the all stop position . I cannot stop the prop by hitting the all stop . I have to then hit the 1 for ahead slow to start both props then i can stop by pressing all stop . Disabling the starboard prop seems to work as intended .

Yes this is one thing I have noticed. The starboard prop seems to be the master in the game. It seems to be the one tied to the dial used in game for denoting engine speed (as you've seen from the port prop when you had it only enabled and you selected speed for it and the position indicator didn't move). I'm trying to track down where this 'Cannot comply' message comes from and how/why it's being generated.

I always see the port engine used for battery recharging also. Never seen the starboard one used for it. Has anyone seen the starboard engine being used for battery recharging?

**BUMP** :oops:

Anyone? :hmmm:

The older version (v1.0.42) is included in the NewUIs mod..
Upload it for you??

I think from now on i will treat the installing /uninstalling of the generic patcher as patch 1.2 . In other words i will install/uninstall the patches with no mods installed with the jsgme . Then after the patches are installed , then i will install mods with the jsgme .

Yes, please...!!! :woot:

And as an .zip File please!

Yes please, I need as an .zip File, because I´m not at my Home-PC at a while and on this PC I don´t have the 7-z Program installed!

I can only .zip File open (with own Program from Win XP)!

Can you please reupload as an .zip File?:hmmm:

It's not a problem - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ws7t8sn55i2xnyb

Have a nice day

Many thx mate, wonderful! :up:

Thanks :up:

In the submarine SIM file there is a setting for "unit_Submarine" - "Ballast" - "is_DieselElectric" (Yes/No). Currently this is set to "No" so only one screw turns when recharging battery. If set to "Yes" then both screw turn when recharging battery.

Does this setting have any effect on this new patch?:06:
