I do hope so, I've not been downloading all the test files as I can't really test it, though I'm looking forward to the new version of MO, all the changes he's made recently seem cool.

I figured he was waiting on The General to finish adding icebergs into the campaign. I noticed The General hasn't posted in the last month concerning any info on his progress.

• Blocked when trying to get the Snorkle working as upgrade option.
• Couldn't figure out how to have new SKINS for each Anti-Sensor coating.

I do think the Snorkle can be a upgrade replacement option for the Deck Gun.
As for adding new skins for each Anti-Sensor coating, I am still lost here.

I was wondering if you would like to add these upgrades to the Mega-MOD?

-=[EDIT]=-
You already have the Antenna and Periscope Height MOD's so you only need the UPC files. The EQP files in the submarine folders are not required as I was never able to get Snorkle working.

Yes, this would be a good addition

Hallo!
I'm also a returnee to SH5. I've just installed the mega mod, but I don't understand how to install the patch or where to put the various components of it.

Also I'm trying to use the Harbour Pilot to get me out of Kiel but I'm always hitting some other ship. Is there a way to set the game up so I can just let them get me to the open sea... It's frustrating to be almost there and then KAPOW! I've now been at it all night and I'm still only half way through.

Thanks in advance!

@Trevally - I've been looking at my code and trying to implement a way for the harbor pilot to pickup and take over from anywhere. So far not successful but I don't give up easily. If I can implement this it will solve many problems including the above as user will be able to deviate and turn off harbor pilot and then resume whenever they want.

There is a patch to fix the pilot for MO - see here

Tip: set your speed at 5-7 knots, goto map and set TC to 64. You will get through the canal in 10 mins

Wow..extra quick! I wish there was a conference or irc style thingy. It would be great to have someone explain all this! (i'm thick)
For the MO patch, do I overwrite the contents of the mods folder and also drop the maps folders etc into the mods folder?

When I meet a ship, I take a note of my heading and steer around the ship. I then reset the heading I noted and 90% of the time I hit the 100m radius required to pick up the next waypoint.

To be able to pick up pilot if waypoint missed- how about some sort of check command. Could this be - as each nav command line is achieved and waypoint reached, the script gets bearing to next waypoint. There would then need to be some sort of trigger to set that bearing

Excellent mod, though the Submarine Spotted spam is kinda getting to me.
