Help Needed with my Mod installation

[Stew U-582]

Hi Guys,

Firstly I would like to thank all the Modders whom have provided
their work for us all to enjoy. To be honest I was dissapointed at
first with my SH5 purchase but now with the mods installed Im really
enjoying the game.

I am seeking some help with a few little problems that are still anoying me.

Firstly I will list my current Mod installation as exported by JSGME
please note:

I have the Dark Wraiths modified SH5.exe Hydrophone Fix installed.
The Radio mod is a complimation of radio chanells I made myself
I have enabled support for IO strategic map and Emtgufs scopes
in Dark Wraiths useroptions.py
I have enabled the sliding control panels with the mouse in/out
feature in Dark Wraiths useroptions.py
The Mod Sh5_SDLSoundFile_No_Doppler_Effect is uncomman but
esential for my soundcard otherwise the game crashes every time an
escort ship fires its main weapon [ took me a while to sort that out
and find that mod ]

Now to my problems,

For some reason the dragable bearing wheel on the nav map will not
rotate with the mouse wheel , allthough I am sure I did see it working
previously. I believe some mod or option In the DWuser options.py may
have messed it up.

Recognition Manual - I dont get any of the text with the ships pictures
except for the ships name. Most important to me is the ships length
as I cant use the Ujagd Chrono to estimate speed. I have allso noticed
if I use the weapons officer to ID the target sometimes He will identify
a ship that is not in the book. I think a comman example [from memory]
is " Large Steamer "

Has anybody else come accross these problems?

I would love to hear any solutions or any comments on my MOD list
or MOD installation order.

Thanks

Hi !

For this MOD you need a new version that work with UI 6.5.1, read here please: http://174.123.69.202/~subsimc/radio...d.php?t=174841

I think that solves your problems !

Best regards,

Whenever you have problems I need the output of DbgView to possibly see why. Follow the troubleshooting steps I have outlined at bottom of post #1 of my UIs thread.

[Stew U-582]

Thanks for the input guys,

I will update the StratIO mod and review the trouble shooting steps.

Thanks

Thanks Magic,

The updated io map mod fixed the bearing wheel problem.

Im still looking for a better Rec Manual. As I said before
I an trying to get a version where the ship data eg: ship length ,
top speed ect is vissible.
I found a mod for an updated SOAN ill give that a try
maybe that will be more to my taste.

thanks

You´re welcome mate !

Im still looking for a better Rec Manual.

Sorry when I asked but why ? What about with the SOAN that comes with UI 6.5.1 ? In my opinion it´s complete and show all needed information !

Hi !

Read in red please !

Best regards,
Magic

[Stew U-582]

Hi Magic,

I will try to explain what Im on about.

Maybe Im too fussy or just wanting something that the sim
doesnt support yet. Ive taken some screen shots to help explain
how I am trying to configure the Rec Manual.



Above is a pic of the normal rec manual that has the extra text
containing ship length so I can use the Ujagd watch for quick
speed estimations.



Now here is a pic using the "Enhanced Recognition Manual Night Vision
with Black Cover" Mod that I like to use as you can drag the
Rec Man to one side and flick through the pages while still seeing
the Target through the scope / uzo. This lets me compare the ship
siloutes to ID the target. Unfortunatly the pic in the rec manual
no longer has any of the Text containing ships data , barring its
name. Ive tried using the updated SOAN mod but it makes no diference
to the missing data text.

Does anyone know if there is any way to use the ERM and still have
the data text showing.

Do you understand what Im getting at ?

I think it would be great if this could be done. There seems to be ample
room in the area alloted for the ship silouete picture.

Thanks

Hi Stewy !

Yes, I think I understand what you want: That the Add-On MOD for UI 6.5.1, "ERM_Night Vision" show you the length, speed...from the ships, right ? In this point I can´t help you, sorry !

But you know, that the SOAN, that it is included in UI 6.5.1, show you the information ?! Do you know that ?

Best regards,
Magic

I don't think he knows what SOAN is/does. If you click the charts icon in the top right lower bar you'll make the charts and SOAN appear on the left side of the screen. Grab the brown tab and drag it out from the left side of the screen. That is SOAN. It has everything you are wanting and more.

[Stew U-582]

Yes DW you are totally correct,

I did not realise There was a seperate SOAN.
I thought people were refering to the rec man.
How stupid do I feel , obviously I neglected to read some
important instructions.

Thankyou verry much DarkWraith & Magic for sorting
out these problems.

[Stew U-582]

Unfortunatly I havnt had any luck.

I tried clicking on the charts icon and
I can see the 2 table charts and the flag chart but
nothing else. The only brown tab I can find is the rec man.
Sorry to be such a pest but could somebody please
post a screen shot. There is obviously something Im just
not getting.

Thanks

You probably changed screen res at one time so you need to reset SOAN's draggable position. Delete the file \Silent Hunter 5\Pagelayout_Draggables.TDW. After doing that and enabling the charts you should see a little brown tab sticking out from the left side of the screen about 3-6 inches from the top.

[Stew U-582]

Thanks DW,

Ill try it out now.

You'll also need to disable these mods:
NewUIs_TDC_6_5_1_ERM_Reaper7_NightVision
NewUIs_TDC_6_5_1_ERM_Reaper7_NightVision_Black_Ski n

This is SOAN (and you can see the little brown tab I'm talking about) when the cover is clicked and it's opened:

[Stew U-582]

I was too quick to see your latest post.
I deleted the file but had not disabled the mods
but the SOAN was there.
I will disable those mods and try again
but I think my problem has been solved.
Thanks , ive now got all that info ive been
wanting. I will give me a whole new part of the game to
explore.

Thanks
