Mast Height not working
 

Hi,

I have installed this great (!) mod and I really like it. It's awesome for sure.
Also watched a couple of intro videos of Stoianm and I'd like to try real navigation. However, there's one problem. I seem to be not able to get the mast height changed in the recognition book. I'm now trying to find a solution for the last two hours, including research in the forums.

Yes, I ran the program as administrator (Win7 64bit). Changed UPlay to offline as well (no impact). When I hover across the word mast height it is highlighted, but I cannot change the mast height, regardless whether I have already indentified the ship (green sign ritgh to the picture) or not (it stays at 20 meter). This leaves me with no chance to get the distance to the ship, unfortunately.

I also tried two different recognition manual mods (which do not any manual insertion of the mast height ), however, then all dials are gone in the attack scope, together with the attack disc etc. (for the recognition manual mod changes the DarkWraith mod of course).

No clue what the issue is - reading dozens of entries here in the forum led me nowhere.

Maybe I can manually change the key assigned to the mast height change?

Any help is much appreciated - as this seems the only thing not working on my machine, but preventing me to use this awesome mod.

Thanks,

It's the radio antenna. It's automatically controlled.

Use my Generic Patcher to fix the stadimeter bug in the game :up:

Destroyed marks are no longer saved to the journal. They are read in from the game's file.

If destroyed marks aren't showing then you need to ensure the patch(s) for them are enabled in my Generic Patcher.

You cannot manually enter a destroyed mark or position fix. You can use the supermarks though to do the same thing (those are saved to the journal)

Don't understand what Sonar Mans contact update is :06:

If someone can make me some icons for the main ballast tank and dive ballast tank that would be great. They would be order categories for one of the officers. I'm adding the ability to manually control these :up:

When the Sonar Man is following a contact with Stormy's DBSM mod. Pressing the Z key every time gives you the precise contacts bearing and shows straight away in the message box.

if you are using the 4 bearings method and firing torpedoes just on the hydrophone as in Stoianm's tutorials you need accurate contact bearings when you want them not as and when the Sonar Man calls them out.

i mean the map grind chart what i made cos they doesn't fit for each screen resolution... if we can make to be resize only that chart will be awesome

So there is no way to manually raise or lower the antenna? I didn't notice any effects on my visibility when I'm at periscope depth, but I still feel a bit strange having an antenna sticking out of the water at all times. Also, I'd like to ask the same about the round antenna on the starboard side. Can I set a hotkey to raise it or lower it?

Anyway, these are just minor things. The mod is absolutely superb and it really gives me a better feeling when I'm hunting ships. Congrats for a great job!

i think that Master gap can do it ....

Wow, now that's what I call service! Thanks for the super fast turn-around. Will do!

Best and thanks again,

i have 1 question please.
I dont have access to the ships recognition manual slideout the upper left screen.

It's depending on my unusual screen size 1680x1050 (22"tft) i guess.

I did a test in 1024x768 everything is fine.

Anyone any idea what can be done about this?

Also the charts only came up when i force them to came expandet - but thats ok for me as a good workaraound. I'm on 7_5_0_16test

Thanks in advance

I forgot to say great mod, thank you, fireworks...:sunny:

If you have a problem with any of the draggable items then go to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder and delete all the Pagex_Draggables.TDW files to have the game rebuild them.

Don't understand what you are saying about the charts :06: Maybe a screenshot to help understand?

charts are just not there wehen pressing "e" or clicking the icon right side.

Due the config file i can force them to appear when scope is raised and further force them to appaer expanded. When i do this they appear. Very minor problem, i have more worries about the rec-manual.

Ill do what you'd suggested, thank you!

Great - it worked Problem solved and i guess the one with the charts map not shown will vanish too.

Thanks again.

Damn, not yet Kameraden.
After everything was working fine wirh the charts and the book
i fired up tghe game again and no i have this shxt

I deleted all the files you told me - like i9 sayd after that the first start everything was fine.

That "new Menus" on the screen can not be shut down and when i start a single mission came crashes now. :wah:


EDIT i disabled the mod and reactivated it no its gone - hope it never come back!

You have a new version ready btw? Would be a good point to upgrade cause its relative low in my load order and i have to disable many mods before.
