Alright. Here are the steps to reproduce.

Mods:
Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS]

NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_Real_Navigation
Manos Scopes-patch for 16x9

Also have the TDW hydrophone exe fixes activated.

1. Load up the historical mission TDW Torp Tutorial.
2. Make sure, your sub is NOT heading North. Turn to heading 320 degrees by making a 40 degrees turn to port/left.
3. The contact should be at around 106 degrees. Go to the sonarman, activate the hydrophone station and point the needle to 106 degrees.
4. Ask the sonar man to follow the selected target (see picture). He responds: "Sonarman: no near contact to follow"
5. You can, however, make him pick up the contact by pointing the needle to 66 degrees

The aforementioned changes to /data/Scripts/Stations/Hydrophone.py fix this issue.

Hello,I managed to configure the new ui 7.5 TDC as I wanted, but unfortunately I am unable to change the keyboard keys in OptionsFileEditorViewerFor example, the L key closes the chat at the bottom right and opens the clock.Can someone tell me the trick to change the basic keys of TDC (such as T for teleport or Q forlog ship etc. ..)

Hi tscharlii, sorry for the late reply; I somehow overlooked your post. Just a little suggestion: maybe you could release your tweak as a patch, for people to test that mission with and without it :)

"T for teleport" may be hardcoded into the **py files that TDW created or stock. Send him a PM to see if he would change other key commands for you. I have tried myself, and seems like there is an option to change them, but does not work. Never asked TDW about it.

I need more information from you so I can help you some more.
go back into the optionsfilevieweditor in the application folder, you can see an option to create a hotkeys_report.txt. This tells you of all the keyboard commands (most of them are commands.cfg) that Multiple UIs for TDC uses. Copy that list and post it. Click on "#". See above. Paste your hotkeys between the two ##.

The "L key closes the chat at the bottom right and opens the clock". The clock command could probably be fixed.

If you use JSGME, I need the following information to see if you use other commands.cfg. Go to Your drive letter:\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\!BACKUP\Data\Cfg. I need all filenames that have "commands.cfg" in its' name. One example, "Commands.cfg.Speech fixes and additions (english version) V1.0"

I basically created a commands.cfg after all other mods so they run smoothly to use voice recognition and fill in missing commands similar to SH3 or SH4.

A great little tool to help you with this is jimimadrid's SH(??) Menumaker. Works great on sh3-sh5 series. I can certainly give you some advice once I have gathered more information from you.

This option of OptionsFileEditorViewer works fine.. because I had disabled all the hot-keys of UI long ago..

Something like commenting them out with a ; in front of key**= ** in the commands.cfg or **.py file? I could not enable or disable some keys in the optionfileviewereditor myself.

I was talking about TDW options file (.py).. not about commands.cfg.. all the UI hot-keys in my game were disabled..
I'm not able to show you screen shot how it works right now, because I just lost my HDD :/\\!!

But we are glad to see you are back online :woot:. Saw a few days ago, mentioning to Gap, about reinstalling your Windows 7 and talking about some u-boat gun issues or something.

I'm online because my laptop.. when I re-installed OS there was a power outage and file system has become disrupted.. I'm now trying to restore something via R-studio but I have not had time to turn off the boot chkdisk and a lot of files were destroyed :shifty:.. 18 months of work on SH5 :/\\!!..

I think, due to a small bug in TDC_NewUI (I use 7.1.0, but it's still present in 7.5.0 test version), the sonarman looks for the contact at bearing "sub heading plus hydrophone needle bearing" instead of just "hydrophone needle bearing". So it only works, if my sub's heading happens to be zero degrees.

After I changed the function HydrophoneFollowNearestContact in /data/Scripts/Stations/Hydrophone.py as follows, my follow contact orders are no longer ignored.

Code:

def getHydroBearing ( contact, sub ):

    contactbearing = sub.HeadingDEGToContact(contact) - sub.HeadingDEG

    while contactbearing > 360.0:

        contactbearing -= 360.0

    while contactbearing < 0.0:

        contactbearing += 360.0

    return contactbearing



# Modified by TheDarkWraith

def HydrophoneFollowNearestContact():

    if GetHydroFollowContact() != None:

        return

    hydroangle = Menu.GuiDials.GetValue( GuiDialsWrapper.DialTypes.HYDROPHONE )

    sweeprange = GetHydroFollowNearestContactSweepRange()

    maxrange = GetHydroFollowNearestContactMaxRange()

    try:

        from PageDefaultHud import PageDefaultHud_MapGroup_Mapcontrol

        sub = PageDefaultHud_MapGroup_Mapcontrol.SubmarineContact

        contacts = PageDefaultHud_MapGroup_Mapcontrol.AllContacts

        hydrocontact = None

        for contact in contacts:

            if getHydroBearing( contact, sub ) >= ( hydroangle - sweeprange ) and getHydroBearing( contact, sub ) <= ( hydroangle + sweeprange ) and sub.RangeToContact( contact ) <= maxrange:

                if hydrocontact == None:

                    hydrocontact = contact

                else:

                    if getHydroBearing( contact, sub ) <= getHydroBearing( hydrocontact, sub ) and sub.RangeToContact( contact ) < sub.RangeToContact( hydrocontact ):

                        hydrocontact = contact

        if hydrocontact == None:

            from PageDefaultHud import Game_NewPlayerLogMessageOutside

            Game_NewPlayerLogMessageOutside( [ Menu.GetLocalizedText( IDSTR_HydroFollowTargetNoNearContact ), False ] )

            return

        SetHydroFollowContact( hydrocontact )

        from Pageinterior import Pageinterior_Blocnotes_FollowTarget

        Pageinterior_Blocnotes_FollowTarget.SetCheck( True, False )

        from PageDefaultHud import Game_NewPlayerLogMessageOutside

        Game_NewPlayerLogMessageOutside( [ Menu.GetLocalizedText( IDSTR_HydroFollowTargetNearest ), False ] )

    except:

        pass

If I use that code, I get this message ...

:hmmm: and who/what does prevent you to do this?

EDIT: is it hard to choose new key and click on 'accept'?

I'm wondering if the program is not allowing him to enter an accept. I could not change things in other ways, too, in my situations. IIRC what they were at the moment.
