MOD Soup , any ideas ?

[Stew U-582]

Hi guys,

Im having the good old mod soup problem. I think the main problem is
in the order ive got the mods installed. I realise I may have to loose
a few of the mods off my list to get things working. I would apreciate any
comments from people using the same or similar mods. Ive included my
current mod list exported from JSGME.
The main problem at the moment seems to be my compressed air runs
all the way to zero every time I dive. I recently enabled U-boat Historical
Specifications 1.4 because I was having trouble keeping depth at any speed below ahead standard. Another special note the mod Sh5_SDLSoundFile_No_Doppler_Effect is a must for me otherwise I get
a CTD due to sound card problem.


Anyway comments would be apreciated.

Thanks

Stewy

right off the bat my UIs current version is 6.2.1 (v6.2.0 + patch 1).....

FX update is at v0.0.11 also.....

[THE_MASK]

Environment mod is V5
Trevally automated sripts will be V3 if using latest UI mod
you will need to use the latest IO_StrategicMap_MOD and enable it in TDW user options in his UI options file

[THE_MASK]

No Damn Bubbles, No Damn Halo Mod will be overwriting the environment mod , better to just go into environment mod before enabling and change lights cfg to
[InteractiveObjectsHighlight]
Spread=0
Blend=0
and just enable the no dialogue indicator mod which is part of the No Damn Bubbles, No Damn Halo Mod

[Stew U-582]

Thanks for the update Dark Wraith i will DL now.

As far as the soup goes I think ill just go with Sobers current list
as per his link , it seems to use all ther mods im interested in.

Thanks Guys , I was getting realy anoyed with trying to get these
mods sorted out.

I've discovered several mods, when installed using JSGME do not do a proper backup. They put another folder in the main game folder named after the mod. This should have gone into the backup/installed folders of JSGME.

I learned this when I 'deleted' what I thought were excess copies of those mods. It was impossible to uninstall them and gain back the files they overwrote. Result = failures.

When that happens, remove all and reinstall.

I wish I could remember the names of those mods to help more, there were several. Anyway, don't delete mod folders found outside of the Mods folder. That is, until you remove all mods first.

Sometimes this happens if the lost files from Silent hunter 5 \ MODS \! INSTLOGS \ - JSGME does not know what mod which files are replaced. Once I had this happen after a careless cleaning drive of unnecessary files.
In silent hunter 5 \ MODS \! BACKUP \ sent files with the extension by the name of mod. Sometimes it is enough to remove the extension and move the file to the Data to restore the game.

Instead of the outdated version, I would recommend you to a more stable and complete version IO_StrategicMap_2_1_for_Ui-Boat V2.2

Thanks! I have not had any problems but I appreciate the advice as I must have missed that one- difficult to keep up with all the updates sometimes!

[Stew U-582]

I seem to be all sorted now. The game is working how I like it
but ive just come accross one problem when I use the Enviorment 5.0
mod I get massive graphic coruption in the bunker like a tarton overlay
that is transparent. For now ive just disabled env 5.0 and everything is
fine. I would be interested if anyone else has encountered this problem
as I would like to try env 5.0.
