[INF] sobers Subsim Bonus Mega Mod All In One 1421 20072017

a couple of questions that i am unclear about.

1) to enable a scope mod your instructions state

To install a scope mod open the folder of the scope mod you want to use and copy the main folder to your \MODS folder (selecting the correct aspect ratio)

so inside eg the arclight mod there are the aspect ratios and than a data file. if i copy the data file into the /MODS file it just sits there when enabled and this does not make sense.
do you not have to copy the data file into the main data file in the SHV directory?

2) i notice that there is a generic patch enabler in the TDW folder under applications (im using the subscriber all in one download). can i use that enabler instead of the latest one on the link as it seems to be the same version. If so how do i go about this.


I tried to sort this all out yesterday but when i started a campaign i got a CTD (had to edit the tutorial completed file [i now notice that you seem to have removed this advice from the forum])

last thing. I downloaded the latest MEP file from 28/01 but when i try to load it using JSGME i get errors telling me the files are missing even though i see them, has the version of the all-in-one dl gone out of date? (got it yesterday 27/01)

sorry for all the text

Just noticed that your modlist includes:

Equipment Upgrade Fixes v1.4 Patch 1 HotFix

but not:

Equipment Upgrade Fixes v1.4 Patch 1

Is that normal? isn't the hotfix supposed to be enabled on top of the patch

Huh i remember that I read somewhere that that way is OK but kill me if I can remember where.

there are upgrade entries in UpgradePacks.upc of EUF base mod which are no longer defined in Weapons.upc of EUF Patch 1 HotFix.

The latter is clearly designed over the UpgradePacks.upc found in EUF Patch 1 . As far as I can see by merely looking at the files, using EUF Patch 1 HotFix without the Patch itself, we would miss some new upgrades (introduced with the patch), and some of the old ones (featured in base mod) would lack their respective equipment definition (replaced in the hotfix with new definitions).

I am sorry if my explainations are a bit confusing, but I wouldn't know how to explain it better

Being lazy and also not very smart, there are a few things that i don't understand.
-What is the final "official" way of starting the campaign with these mods? At first it was said one could do the tutorial with OHII but when i loaded the game post-mod installing, got constant CTDs. then i did the tutorial without any mod and when i loaded the game later, i couldn't select a mission and when starting a new campaign, got CTDs after the loading screen disappeared.
-installing/running TDW's patcher is supposed to be done before, after or while installing the mod soup? oh and is any of the mods included in the download necessary? (saw a tutorial video in which some files were copied into the UI mod before installing that one so it confused me even more ).
Hopefully that's it but i can't promise no further noob-spamming will follow

After installing the mods one by one, turns out my game crashes when starting a new campaign, having "TDW FX Fix for Sobers chimney smoke" enabled. Makes no sense to me, since it only crashed on a new campaign. Tried a few of Trevally's tutorials and the game loaded fine, loaded the save after having done the tutorial and the game loaded fine. Though I must point out that this happened before the new instructions were posted so maybe it will work now?

"We would like you to experience all the frustrations a uboat captain had , and thats just installing the game and mods ." How true
Thank you for your effort, Sober and all those who made these mods. Works like a charm with the new instructions and i see that Grossdeutscher Rundfunk is back (i sort of wanted that one in

Edit: Ok there might be something (gah). When using the tool helper in the map screen, the bearing tool is placed above the tool itself (ruler/compass), making it difficult to plot a course (impossible if you want to plot any course towards North cause the ruler will never intersect the tool). Is this the way it's supposed to be or i've done something wrong?

[vivieehk]

it is such a great mega mod!
it is time for me to take my ship back to the sea.
Thx you
