To get what you want on the map the ones you mention are correct.

It's because there are other files that are overwriting TDW UI so if you use JSGME and New UI TDC is greyed out means it's overwritten which wont work. So find out what mod is overwriting the mod and remove it.

I know how JGSME works :shifty:

Just a question to JGSME, what does this option enabler app do? Does this mean I can alter the settings (UI style, TDC Options etc?) without having to open the .py file and simply use the editor? Or what?

I'm just curious, because I remember always spending a good 30~50 minutes going through and tweaking settings, but now for the life of me I can't remember which ones I changed to what.

Yes, the options editor/viewer is used to make changes to the options file now. Do not try and edit the options file by hand - you will screw it up :yep: The options editor/viewer makes it a snap to edit the options file now :up:

There is also an options migrator to migrate an old options file to a new options file.

Krauter 05-20-12 11:30 AM

Sadly I think I deleted all my old TDWUIs files..

To edit the options do I need to un-enable the mod? I was trying it earlier (with it still enabled) and couldn't open any files.

Hi Krauter,

I'm not quite sure if I follow but I hope the following will help you out;

* The JSGME makes it very simple for you to enable/disable mods.
If you were to enable a mod by pasting it into your C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 folder and then find that particular mod wasn't what you wanted you'd simply have to make a complete reinstall to get rid of it.
By doing this in JSGME you can just disable the mod and you're good to go again.

* If you're referring to the TDW's 'New UIs TDC' mod you do this;
1. Disable 'New UIs TDC'
2. Open up the .py file either with the editor or with Notebook and do your settings.
Save as a .py file not .txt.
Any settings/changes in any mod must be done when the mod is disabled. When done with your settings > enable it again.
To avoid unwanted malfunctions you should do this when in the bunker/port.

If you're not sure what settings you've done and want to start over -
make a copy of the .py file that came with your download and paste it into the same place (let it overwrite and replace).

I don't think that I have the options editor/viewer..

At the moment, all I have in:

TDW UIs/data/Applications is:

OptionsMigrator.exe
ShipsJournalEditor.exe
ShipJournalEditorHelp.txt

What do I use to change my options?

Do you have the latest version of the mod (v6.9.0)? There should be 9 folders in \data\Applications and one file - Dbgview.exe

Krauter 05-20-12 11:52 AM

Hmm, appears I had 6.3.7.. Don't know how, I just downloaded this mod 4 days ago from the 1st page..

No idea. The link to v6.9.0 has been up at post #1 of this thread for quite some time now :yep:

v6.9.0 is a major improvement over v6.3.7 - you'll like it much better!

Krauter 05-20-12 12:01 PM

Are the mod add ons and the updated Options Patcher (linked on 1st page) included in the regular 6.9 download? Or do I have to download those also?

If you want to use any of the add-on mods you have to download them. I no longer include them with the UIs mod.

You'll need to download the latest patcher from post #1 as the patcher included in v6.9.0 is old :up:

You'll need the new version of the options editor viewer also as the one in v6.9.0 is old

Krauter 05-20-12 12:23 PM

Ok, and final question :D...

What ever happened to the twisty scope thingy from your early (early..) releases?
