That_Guy28 ! After six year silent run!

Uh thanks?

But seriously, does anyone know how to make this mod work?

The only thing that still doesn't work is that I can't fire torpedos because when I press the buttons on the periscopes, nothing happens. I've tried replacing script files, editing scripts and I can't get the mod to work 100% despite my best efforts.

I found a thread somewhere where Darth Wraith posted a fix. It's a file that apparently goes in "data\scripts\menu\" but the download link doesn't work. So all I know is that it's possible to fix it by editing one or more of the script files in that folder but I haven't been able to pull it off. I also tried replacing "Page AttackPeriscope.py" from base game and overwriting the mod's script but that only adds the "target lock" capability.

Having Tonnage Bar Problems Then Go To My Tutorial Post #188 :/\\!!

My advice would be to download winzip and always use it for downloading mods.

Download Link to 7-Zip
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Download 7-5-0 again

http://www.mediafire.com/download/artutmb6l6ulr2o/NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_TheDarkWraith_Test_Version_18.7z

Check out my tutorial Post #7 for correctly installing 7-5-0

Hey it finally works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rock::Kaleun_Cheers: :Kaleun_Party:Thanks for the help!!

First, I followed all the instructions in your tutorial post #7. Then when my game started, it would just crash to the desktop.
So reinstalled and then followed those exact same instructions EXCEPT that I used 7zip instead of winRar and I didn't do the part about using the generic patcher.

Thanks for the help!!

Hi TG

Always use 7Zip :up:

Hi Akula in the IO_StrategicMap page there's this line:

Conflicts and problems:
Seen a significant conflict with Terrain_harbour_flags_Mod_v1_2_1 and OPEN HORIZONS II, which manifests itself in unreadable the missions text on the map. To avoid this problem, the mod should be installed after Terrain_harbour_flags_Mod_v1_2_1 and OPEN HORIZONS II.

You have StrategicMap installed before open horizons. Maybe that's your problem with the charts.

Plotting Course Help Please

Finally got round to installing SH5 and only after finding the mod page on this site.
Im having an issue though, I cant seem to plot a course, When i got to the TAI options the option to do the click on boat to set a may point is disabled, which is fine as i prefer the SH3 method. When i click on the officer portrait the Set course and return to course icons are greyed out.

Can some one point me in the right direction (no pun intended)
The mods im running are as follows
TDW generic mod patcher.
TDW TDC
TDW multiple UI and dials etc
Open Horizons
MightyFineCrew
Reworked Morale and abilities

Loving the manual TDC now still not sunk the liberty cargo in the historical mission menu. Actually hit it it now though, first time impact fuse torp bounced off, second magnetic one went of premature.

If any one can help it would be great.

Thanks in advance

Having Tonnage Bar Problems Then You Need My Tutorial Post #188 :/\\!!

This is not a mod quote >TDW generic mod patcher. Must not be put in JSGME.

See my tutorial Post #2

See my tutorial Posts #23 and #25 for mods that fix things.

I was having a problem with there being a black box taking up a lot of the screen, and a not-functioning window saying "User Charts" in the middle of the screen that can be moved, but not deleted or closed.

I spent like all day searching EFFING EVERWHERE on the internet and I just couldn't find a fix that worked for me.:/\\!!

I found people say "try running it as admin" in the thread for this mod. I tried running JSMGE as admin as well as Silent hunter 5 as admin. It didn't work.

I actually found a fix and I want to post it here so the mod author can make a better fix and so other users can fix it themselves instead of waiting for a fix.

Step 1. Go to the directory

Code:

"mods\NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Menu\Gui\usercharts\"

Notice how there are 50 dds image files. If you open any of them, they are all just black 800x600 picture files.

Step 2. Either:
a. Delete all those 50 dds image files.
OR
b. Backup all those 50 dds image files into a zip file somewhere on your computer AND THEN delete all of them.

This fixes the problem where there's a black 800x600 box in the top-left corner of the screen taking up a whole bunch of space.

Step 3. Now you need to get rid of the annoying UN-closable "User Charts" window.
To do this, navigate to

Code:

"mods\NewUIs_TDC_7_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Menu\Pages\Page Default Hud.ini"

Step 4. Find where it says:

Code:

[G0A I2]

Name=UserCharts

Type=1026;Menu group

ItemID=0xA4D0000

ParentID=0xA000000

Pos=354,-323,315,122

Zone= 354 445 315 122 0 1 0xA000000 0.5 -0.5 0xA4D0000 -0.5 0.5 0 0

Step 5.
NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT!! Don't just backspace that whole entire thing. This will make everything not work.

On the line where it says "Zone= 354 445 315 122 0 1 0xA000000 0.5 -0.5 0xA4D0000 -0.5 0.5 0 0", just backspace THE WHOLE LINE. What you should have now is:

Code:

[G0A I2]

Name=UserCharts

Type=1026;Menu group

ItemID=0xA4D0000

ParentID=0xA000000

Pos=354,-323,315,122

Now there is no annoying window in the way and you can play the game normally.

Step 6.
???

Step 7.
Profit

The cause of the problem is that the download links seem to contain corrupted versions of what was supposed to be contained in those 50 dds files. Either that or Winzip (which is what I used) doesn't like unzipping dds files from .7z archives.

I have no idea how to fix the user chart window and make it work normally instead of just deleting it. Everything seems to be coded in python which I'm not familiar with.

EDIT: AAAAAAUUUGGHHH DAMMIT!!!! There's still a problem where you can't select torpedos or fire them. All that work for nothing! :/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!

Anyone know how to fix that? It's beyond what I'm capable of fixing.

try to delete all **********_Draggables.TDW files from your main SH5 folder the game will remake them .... and tbh i really don't understand what problem u have with the charts ... the chrats works and tdw ui's work very well

When the game starts walk down the ladder.

Use the T key and teleport somewhere.

Click off the map before using teleport.

Do a manual save on the bridge before ending the game.

Do not save submerged.

give a "teleport to:" :yeah: :yeah: THANKS: homo15 :rock:

Same goes with threads on politics, religon, and cultural issues. We don't need six threads on "Obama is ruining America" and eight topics on "Arabs are Evillll!" on the same page.
