Been out of it for a while, what do I need
 

Hi all,

I've been out of playing Silent Hunter 5 for.. almost a year and a half, coming up on 2 years now. The last mods that I had used were all made by TDW, however I was still waiting on the super mod status. I realize that a lot of progress has been made by a lot of people in this game. What mods are really encouraged to use? If I can dig up a list I'll show what I had running before I stopped playing.

Thanks,

Krauter

Edit: Here you go. I realize it could take some time, but could anyone help me eliminate/find replacer mods or just tell me that I'm good with what I have?

You could try pedrobas' MMM 0.5 Megamod: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=192236

I use it myself as a base mod, then just apply new versions/patches of IRAI and OH II. You can choose the big package containing all the stuff, or then select the parts you like. Good luck updating SH 5, it might take a while, be patient, it's worth it! :D

I'll have to take a look at it. Just playing a quick game with what I've got installed has me confused.

I had to update your automation scripts to make them compatible with new version of my UIs mod some versions ago. Here are your updated files: http://www.filefront.com/17510032/Kr...ted-by-TDW.7z/

:up:

Thanks TDW! Any advice from the man himself what I should use for my mod list?

Your welcome :up:

I'm very biased in what I would recommend. Others will chime in here soon with their recommendations :yep:

I have my Main Mods in this order:

Radio Mods
MightyFine Crew Mod
Environment
FX Update by TDW
Multiple UIs (latest version is 6.9.0)
IRAI (latest version is 0.0.37)
Sub Skins
Open Horizons II (latest version is 1.8)
Sound Mods
Others

Your main layout then would look similar to this:
(I've also suggested some mods which might suit your taste)

Radio Mod of your choice
RemoveLogoIntroTheDarkWraith
Wordeees Actual Footage Menu
Loading Screens Mod
SteelViking's Bunker Fixes V1.0 --- i recommend this one
Shadow Improvement Mod
Accurate German Flags
A Fistful of Emblems v1.51
A Fistful of Emblems v1.51 (Weathered)
NDB,NDH OM#1 - No Dialog Indicator -- i recommend this one
MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1
MCCD_1.04_MFCM_1.2.1_compatible
Environment 4.9 MOD -- alternativly Dynamic Environment Mod
FX Update
Cerberus62 Corrected Depth Charge Projector 1.0 -- have a look at this

BRF --- i believe this is not compatible with FX, but maybe your fixes make it compatible
there is also a mod called "alternate sinking mechanism"
(i don't use these 2 as I have never experienced ships not sinking or still steaming at full speed after being hit)

NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_Real_Navigation
Scope Mod acc. to your preference (Manos Scopes is standard in UI)
IRAI_0_0_29_ByTheDarkWraith
NOZAURIO'S SKIN --- i recommed this one
Pascal-sh5-Crew-Uniforms. 12.2011 --- i recommend this one
Open Horizons 1.8
M1 Thompson's Realism sound mod v.1.0

SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2

Enhanced FunelSmoke_by HanSolo78
SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.1 --- i recommend this one
Church's SHV 1.01 Keyboard Commands v1.1


The following are not needed (my opinion):

U-boat Historical Specifications 1.4 -- not needed, most of it is covered by FX Update
MightyFine Less Annoying Footsteps 1.0 -- not needed, included in SteelVikings Interior Mod
Cerberus62 Additional Merchant Ships 1.1 (Part 1) -- not needed, included in OHII
Cerberus62 Additional Merchant Ships 1.1 (Part 2) -- not needed, included in OHII

(Cerberus62 Historical Ship Equipment 1.3 -- could be included instead)


These might also be of interest:

Torpedo Splash
Sub_Exhaust_1_0_5_byTheDarkWraith
Harbour_Addition_Environment_Enhancement MOD v0.5
mtmns -- more traffic more nations, but quite heavy on cpu and graphics usage
Old Style Explosions V1.1
SubFlags_0_0_8_byTheDarkWraith
Dark_Interior_V1 -- i saw that you were using dark floors...


just some ideas......enjoy....

(Sobers Mega Mod List might also give you some idea's, as well as the MMM by pedrobas mentioned earlier by one of the posters....)

Thanks, I was just trying to modernize my mod list, and was thinking. Does Churches command Keys go before or after TDWs UIs? Wouldn't it mess with his commands?

Just finished, how does this look?
