[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[Empier]

I don't know if it's possible, it's just an idea, but how would it be to receive The cables from the BDU with an ENIGMA-encrytion so you can decryt it with an ENIGMA-emulator like this one:

Also you can implement a Codebook in the kinde of rec-book with the correct key for the enigma for ervery week or month of the mission.
I know it would be a lot of math-work but i think it's quite a cool thought.

Greetings Empier


Edit:
Here is a link for the codebook maker:

Maybe you can run the Enigma emulator on an Notebook next to you. That would be real Kaleun-feeling.^^

Apart from the oil slicks sticking up, the Magnum Opus seems to be working really well for me, thanks

A couple of questions: is there any way to select the depth you want to dive to on the default UI, I can only see the guage telling what depth you are at but no way to select a specific depth.

Also, is the file in there that can be edited to create hot keys for teleportation etc? And if so, which one is it pls?

Thanks for all your work on this, it's made the whole experience much more enjoyable!

I get some errors at starting the game, applyed the Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 after edit the "TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py" enabling the SH3Style

# the current UI Style
# set below to either SH3Style, SH4Style, or SH5Enhanced
UIStyle = SH3Style

i don´t use another enabled MOD...
Any idea ?

FIXED !!!

surely any bad traslation when the edited file was saved with Texpad... reintalling the MOD, and edited them with standar "notepad" and game run without problem...


Thank TheDarkWraith !!!

C:.... /MODS/Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1/data/Scripts/Menu/

here search the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file, open this with notepad...

#+++++++++++++ UI Style ++++++++++++++
# Possible UI Styles:
SH5Enhanced = 0
SH3Style = 1
SH4Style = 2

# the current UI Style
# set below to either SH3Style, SH4Style, or SH5Enhanced
UIStyle = SH3Style

Changue the bold text for the UI style you want

I've changed a few of the hot keys in the useroptions.py file and now I'm getting CTD when I start playing. At the menu I get this screen but I don't get an error message. I've checked the few edits I made and haven't used any keys I shouldn't have and have not duplicated any keys that were already in use (as shown on F1).

TDW,

Pls have a look at the underwater view screenshot on http://forums-de.ubi.com/eve/forums?...409#2981066409, discussed over in the German UBI Forum.

That seems far too bright for a situation when light conditions above water are far darker, sun going down and sky filled with darkish clouds. I don't think it can be so much brighter below water than above.

Maybe it's the integrated SteelViking: SV&Com Underwater Mod, possibly in combination with W_clear's Environment 5.0.

I'm sure this can be fixed.

Question to anyone who can help - or TDW: Is travel mode disabled? Or have I not set something properly in the options file?

I have so many radio messages coming in that high TC to traverse any great distance is impossible... every few seconds you get snapped back to 1x - and this is WITH "travel mode" enabled.

How to fix? Please help...
Thanks in advance!

And many, many thanks to TDW for this fantastic compilation and the work it took to combine it!!! Thank you, The Dark Wraith.

He thanks for this super MOD.
I was waiting for years for this.

Where is the Donation button?

You give me a great idea about using travel mode for the squelching of the sub sighted radio messages

Hi PJ

I've had this a few times myself.
Eventually I understood that I made faulty entries in the options.py file when editing.
These entries can be of various kinds i.e. one too many space characters or one too few. Pay special attention to how you make your changes inte options.py file, not leaving anything out or adding something that shouldn't be there.
Especially I've made foolish things when choosing a HotKey (You know the ones with the square brackets).

Since it can be very tricky to find all the changes you've done in the options.py the best way to solve this is to start over with a new copy of the mod so I have simply:

1. Deleted the mod I've been trying to tweak (so you won't mix them up)
2. Extracted a new copy of the mod
3. Used the OptionsMigrater (this copies your previous settings in your old options.py to the new options.py file).
4. Make any changes you want to the new added options in the new options.py (In the new mod. Your old settings should by now be there) and press "SAVE AS" (This is the step where I've been clumsy!)

N.B. if you use Notepad for editing, the Notepad by default selects to save the options.py in .txt format!!

BEFORE SAVING
- Check at the bottom of the window where you find the "Format" field make sure you choose "All files".
- To the left of the "Save" button in the "Coding" field make sure it's "ANSI"

5. Press "SAVE"
6.Copy the mod and paste it into the C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS

The best way to avoid this is to use the OptionsMigrater tool!
You find it in every new version of the mod: C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_x_x_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Applic ations

Try it!

Can you confirm you've by mail got my menu.txt file? (Swedish translation)

I've sent it a few times and I haven't received any messages like the address being wrong so I figure it should have reached you.
