Obs periscope strikes back

Herr_Pete · 10-15-11, 02:51 AM

Hi there guys,

Just back from taking a break from SH5. Fired up the game and started a new campaign to find that whatever mod I used to have the god damn periscope stay down no longer works... reminds me of day 1 of SH5. Is there a single mod dedicated to keeping this bastard down? Any help with any mods in particular would be very much appreciated.

Pete

Welcome back Pete!

TheDarkWraith UI 6.8.0 includes the scope down fix and about a billion other fixes and vast improvements. I highly suggest trying that mod out.

Hey there, thanks for the quick reply. I have installed the mod and enabled but when I restart my career the Scope is still flying high...

I think you have to edit one of the files. TDW made it really easy to edit. Read the instructions for the mod, it must be explained in there.

Sounds like you may not have installed the mod correctly

Goto C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Applications\JSGME mod validator and run the validator.

This will check if the UI mod is installed in the correct path

Herr_Pete · 10-15-11, 05:11 AM

hmm interesting, when my JSGME installed it never created a validator... Only the mod enabler or is there a separate mod for a validator?

Herr_Pete · 10-15-11, 05:42 AM

Found the Validator. Tis currently validating the mods...taking it's sweet time

Herr_Pete · 10-15-11, 06:17 AM

Okay it has finished validating and it says every mod has installed correctly. Fired the game up again and the scope is still up. I do recall before any mods were made there was a way of editing files to lower the scope. Anyone remember how to go about it this way?

Trevally. · 10-15-11, 06:32 AM

You could try the editor app - go here
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Applications\OptionsFileEditorViewer

When you run it - click file then set path to menu.txt
it is found here - C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Menu

then click file again and open. click the TDWoptions.py

The app will then load
select tab Automatics

here you will find options for scope up/down etc

Herr_Pete · 10-15-11, 06:43 AM

I will give this a try. Is there a link for this app?

It will be here C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Applications\OptionsFileEditorViewer and is installed as part of TDW UI

Herr_Pete · 10-15-11, 06:56 AM

I never had it in the first place haha I have very early mods since I had a long break so I'll need to download them

Herr_Pete · 10-15-11, 07:09 AM

I may have messed up at an earlier stage as everyone points to Silent hunter 5/data/applications

I don't have an applications folder...

Unless this was needed for another mod that is widely used.

Trevally. · 10-15-11, 07:13 AM

Yes you need to get the most up to date version (6.8.0)
When you unpack it to install with JSGME - make sure that the folder you put in your MODS folder is "NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith" and when you look inside that folder - there is a "data" folder

Herr_Pete · 10-15-11, 07:54 AM

Okay dokay, I have the new TDC installed. Darkwraith is in the MODS folder, I have run the editor and set the path to

D:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Menu (will only let me finish off by setting it to Menu\menu.txt ) is that right?

Then you say click open but there is no TDWoptions.py or is this hidden away somewhere lol?
