Need help -- SH5 TWoS Questions

[klzlueylx]

So, i've patched my game with the wolves of steelmod v2.2.24, which i believe is the latest;

it runs smoothly yet still a couple of questions i need some answers, and docs comes along with the mod cannot offer.

1. How do i change my uboat's number or code? when i starts a new campaign, it didnot ask me to fill such a blank, and in-game radio-message & journal says im "U-**"

2. Can I change the hotkey? i've altered some strings in a config file in sh3 to re-allocate a hotkey so that i feel it's better. I didn't find any description about a "how to" in SH5 so.
im using a microsoft surface to play, and some crucial keys like "heading to view", "time speed +&-" are defaultly in the numpad, which i do not have.

3. I saw a "compass_tutorial.pdf" in mod's document folder; it's about a special compass with inner and outer circles, both ring could rotate, to perform specific actions. Yet in the game I can't find such a compass, where is it?


Please, I could use any tips

1. I now know how to change the number, in OFEV's "Ship Journal" tab you'll find the first entry, u-**, change it and click all the popup "yes". Though you'll need to do it all over again with a new campaign save. (don't forget to change the captain's name as well.)

2. yes it's the same way you change a SH3\4 hot key. data/cfg/command.cfg

I still don't know where to find the compass so.

and a new Question, I'll call it 4

4. When i input a new entry in the in-game Journal, the time always is GMT+2. it's very strange since every entry automatically imput is using GMT +1 (Nautical time). Though if you quit the game and check the journal in the journal viewer, it is logged as Nautical time; but this glitch really confuses player when dead-reckoning and many other ways.
Any idea how to fix this?

I've been searching all day for this and I cannot find it as well. I even tried to change the UI's to SH4 and SH3 and its still no there.

look carefully you should have it in the right part at the top of the card

This is what you are looking for...

To complete what you said the green01
you will find all these settings in "TWoS - OptionsFileEditorViewer"

everything should be fine now..
