Check that the extracted folders The Wolves of Steel 1.03 - Patch 5 and The Wolves of Steel 1.03 - Patch 5_HotFix 2 are in the MODS folder in the Silent Hunter 5 main directory C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS

Any mod you wish to install with JSGME must be in this MODS folder so that JSGME can access them.

I usually extract the mod first to the desktop, then put it into the MODS folder. That way you can check that the mod's folder structure is correct before trying to install with JSGME.

I have to admit that I gave up on SH5 some time ago. Just out of sheer curisoty I loaded up this mod & decided to give SH5 one more try.

Right after this loaded & I got aboard my boat this mod brought a smile to my face! SWEET! was the 1st thought that came to mind. My hat goes off to all of you that put so much effort into this. It is truly astounding now!

I do have one small issue that hopefully someone can address for me. I cant seem to ID my targets. I put the vessel in my crosshairs & hit space to lock. Then I open the rec manual & find the correct ship but when I press "Send mast height to TDC" nothing happens. The ship remains unidentified.

I am certain I am doing something wrong as I am not very familiar with the ins & outs of SH5 but could someone point me in the right direction to getting this resolved or explain to me what I am doing wrong?

Once again many thanks for the awesome mod & thanks for any & all help y'all can provide.

thanks for your help man but i did exactly what you said and was able to install The Wolves of Steel 1.3 but the patch 5 and the hotfix won't appear in JSGME and i'm sure that i'm doing it right. it's not the first time i install a mod

but there is something strange the patch 5 and the hotfix mod folders contain only TDW Real Navigation folder. am i missing some folders here?

You seem to have a corrupted download of these files. The patch 5 folder should contain nearly as many subfolders as the main TWoS mod. If you still have the compressed file, extract it again to the desktop and see what it looks like. Otherwise try downloading again and we'll go from there.

I'd like to repeat my request to include the map location name fix in this otherwise great mod collection:

So many names on the map are terribly wrong.

i've downloaded patch 5 again and after extraction it's size is nearly 1GB and this is what it looks like (The mods folder only contain real navigation mod and the Data folder is almost 950MB)

Hi mahany

I think you are over complicating matters by what you are sseing.

The basics as I understand it are this.

When you unzip the patch 5 or the hotfix patch, the folder that you see just needs to be copied to your mods folder.

You should then see it on the left side of JSGME.

Thanks for the reply Sjizzle.

I am not looking for the auto target ID. I run 100% realism. What is happening is I find the vessel in the Recognition Manual but when I click on "send mast height to TDC" nothing happens.
I am guessing it should change the designation from "troop transport" to the ship I picked in the RM.

The problem you have with TWOS is that you are dealing with a package.

Adding and removing mods is not something I would recommend.

However there is another option open to you that you can try in stages.

Crew ability bonus points.

The Sound Guy or Sound Man (Beno Scheu) (Funkobergefreiter)

Darkness Penalty> Passive abilities of 5 levels

Giving bonus points here reduces the darkness penalty.

May help?

thanks for the tip !
yeah dealing with a package but for everyone it need small adjusments to fit the taste (TDW option editor is so useful for that by the way)

hi sober I'm sorry I want to stay with default waves, I tried your colorcorrection.cfg file but it was just too bright in daylight.
Finally after some test i just bringed back the timeofday.txt back from the stock and it is really nice know : not so dark night and not too bright days.
