Help with OHII missions
 

I am having a problem with my SH5. I cannot see what the objectives are for the missions. All it says is "Patrol the Area". I have the bar that fills up (ie: sink 50,000 tons off coast of Britain) but i do not see it say that anywhere like it did in the stock game. Not when i select the mission nor when I'm at sea. I only know thats what I'm supposed to do because I've played the mission before. Also i cannot select a new objective while at sea. Thanks in advance.

Nothings wrong. Your objective is to patrol the area.

Lol i know that but there is also a part of that mission to sink 50,000 tons of shipping, and in the stock game it told you that. Mine does not say that anymore. I have also seen a video on youtube of someone using the same Mod Soup as me and they can see those objectives. So something must be wrong.

Well, that is the idea behind OH rework: to be as close as technically (due to engine of the game) possible to the actual historical way of u-boats patrolling.
They did not have the tonnage objectives, they were just told to go to a curtain area and see if they can catch ships. With OHII it's much closer to the way Sh3 is managing their patrols.

Can you give us a link to the video and your mod-soup?
Because, unfortunately, from your description everything seems correct.

Ok i cannot find the video I was talking about but if you look at this thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=187512 you can see the objective in the picture "Sink 1 Capitol Ship in Scapa Flow". My map does not say this. It has the bar there but doesnt say anything above it other than the name of the mission and the deadline.

Then it must be a problem with the TSR files in the campaign's folder. Install them manually.

Ok I guess I should have read all the changelogs. OHII v2 no longer focuses on tonnage but on patrols. Thank you for your help guys. I really didnt expect replies this quickly. One more question though, should i be able to pick a new objective at sea or am I wrong in that thinking.

Patrols objectives don't have any impact on the game. It's the main objectives, i.e. sink 50,000 tons on the Eastern Coast, that do.

Wait I'm confused again, that's exactly what I was talking about. My maps do not tell me the main objective, only a bar that fills up. which does me no good if i dont know what to do to fill that bar

Did you install the mod with JSGME?

Yes I downloaded all the mods and used Sobers Mega Mod.MEP with minor edits with JSGME to load them all.

Ah, if they've changed focus onto patrols, that might be why it's like that.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and sink some American ships.

It's called Operation Drumbeat.

You're gonna love it!

LOL thanks a lot for your help. And what is Operation Drumbeat I must know more! lol

As I explained: OH (in the newer version) is trying to move towards the way patrols were handled in the SH3/SH4 games: go there, try to sink stuff.

Unfortunately, SH5 doesn't really allow that, so, I believe, one of the ways Trev tried going around it was hiding the actual tonnage "requirement", trying at least to make it visually similar; creating the feel of the same type of approach to patrols: go there, try find and think stuff
