[TEC] How to use TDWs Patcher

[Trevally.]

*****This post is being updated due to TDW making his patcher remember stuff - so no need to throw it out each time. I will update the how to soon. Remember and check out Volodya Rus version that is up to date with the new patcher*****

UPDATE 17/07/2013
Please see here for Sjizzle guide for the new patcher http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=205620

First off - stop here if you are playing SH5 through steam - the patcher will not work with the steam version of SH5.exe

Edit: before starting, see post 2 about backup files

Ensure you are using v1.2 of SH5 (check by looking at the top right in the main menu)

Step1 - get the patcher
Download the newest version from here:-
LINK

Save it to your desktop
Extract with 7zip (or other) to desktop




Step2 - make a mod
open the folder that was created by unzipping the download


copy these files from C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
***these MUST be stock files (21/04/2010)****
SH5.exe
SHSim.act
SHCollisions.act
Paste them into your folder


Step3 - add to jsgme
Take the folder you have just made and place it into your MODS folder:-
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS
Run jsgme
right click on the patcher folder and select "Explore"


Step4 - use the patcher
double click on "GenericPacter" to open it
select file - open
Point it to - C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\TDWpatchv1.067


select "TDW_SH5_Patches.s5p" and open
point it to the folder

say ok to all the warnings


right click and enable all the patches you want to use


Do the same with "TDW_SHCollisions_Patch.s5p" and "TDW_SHSim_Patch.s5p"


Step5 - install
use jsgme as normall


When a new verion comes along (as they are sure to do) - just unistall and delete the folder and make a new one following the steps above.

Thats all folks


Or not quite all - please also see this vid from 9thinfSword
