Mods to get started

*Starwolf* · 10-18-12, 08:46 AM

Currently I am a player of SH3+GWX but I got really curious about SH5 after viewing some videos on the net. So curious that I ordered a copy of the game and soon I'll have it.

In the meantime I read some sticky topics in here about mods.. there are so many of them that one can get lost easily

I know that this was probably asked a million times but I'll try to make it very simple and quick. For the moment I need some suggestions regarding these two areas of the game:

1) UI - As I can see the stock interface is arcade-style. I saw in here various UI mods but if you can suggest the most downloaded/famous mod it will be much appreciated. I come from SH3 so an UI similar to that would be cool too.

2) Sound - Even in this area I saw different mods. I am serching for one in particular that, other than changing sounds in general, changes the sound of the torpedo launch. I saw from videos that the torpedo launch sound is exactly the one from SH3 stock.. I find it very dull in comparison to what you hear with GWX.. absolutely fantastic. A mod with that sound/similar sound will be great.

That's all for now, thanks for the help

I also started SH5 after a long time past on SH3 and "crash dived" into mod business :-) Following is my current mod config. There is no mods in there that look "nice" but all of these make the game 100% realistic and playable..

Accurate German Flags
NDB,NDH OM#1 - No Dialog Indicator
U-Boat Propulsion SFX
Unterseeboot SFX
German U-Boat Hydrophone SFX
MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Stock w beards
German U-Boat Crew Language Pack
FX_Update_0_0_19_ByTheDarkWraith
NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith
IRAI_0_0_37_ByTheDarkWraith
TDW_No_Hydrophone_On_Surface_No_Aircraft_Spotting_ 1_1_0
Cerberus62 Corrected Depth Charge Projector 1.0
TDW_Ship_Inertia_1_1_0
Reworked Morale and Abilities v.1.1
Grossdeutscher Rundfunk
Trevally Tutorial - All v0.2(for OHIIv1.3)
Trevally Automated Scripts v0.6
AOB slide ruller for TDW UIs and MO by stoianm
Manos Scopes-patch for 8x5
U-Boat Ballast Tanks SFX

Manos scope size depends on your game resolution, check display section there it writes the size as well, like "1280/1024, 8x5"

Use JSGME for loading the mods..

And one more important thing.. make sure all mods in following order as C:\\Ubisoft\MODS\....mod name...\data\ Some mods cannot be loaded to this folder as downloaded, check them first for this order. It is important I learned it the hard way :-)

Good luck matey..

Thanks for the replies, it seems that the most used/downloaded mods for UI and sound are respectively:

NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith
Stormys DBSM SH5 v1.3

What SH5 really lacks is the presence of a supermod like GWX, actually it's a pain to browse all the mods and build a configuration that is complete and stable

What it really lacks is anything resembling the real u-boat war. Modders are still too busy making mods to fix that to worry about making 'extras'.

I am really interested about this matter since I haven't the game yet. Can you do a small summary of the main features that SH5 is missing compared to SH3/GWX ?
