Boogie's Refit for TWOS

boogieman335 · 07-18-19, 09:17 PM

Well guys the mods have been up for a little while now and I thought I might start a thread about them in case anyone has any questions, comments or anything.
First let me say I am not a graphic artist as is obvious if you have used the mods. I just played around with the textures in paint.net to achieve a look that I liked. I play The Wolves of Steel but there were a few textures that I wanted to change and having did a little modding with .dds files in Skyrim I sort of knew how.

The mods are setup to be installed with JSGME. In a TWOS install the unzipped mod folder should be placed in the TWOS parts folder and activated with JSGME.

Ver 1.2 has the boat textures separate from the uniform folders to give a little more choice.
Also As stated in the readme I developed these mods for use with TWOS. If you use a variant of the mighty fine crew mod that is different than the one that comes with TWOS this may affect the uniforms in an un intended way.

If installing to a non TWOS version of the game just place the mod folder in your mods folder for JSGME and activate in JSGME. The boat textures should work fine with any version as they only contain base texture files for the interior and an HDR filter for the sub interior.

The Electric gauges in the "A" boat use a different texture from the other boats so That is why they are a different color and the labels are blacked out.

Hi boogie,

I have just downloaded the latest version of your amazing texture mod. If I understood correctly your notes in the TWoS thread, it is optimized for working together with your Reshade preset. May I ask where I can find it?

Moreover, I think that many subsim buddies here (including me) have never used Reshade and would appreciate a tutorial on the best way to set it up to work with SH5.

Lastly, in the past I used to run the game together with SweetFX and a configuration preset made by Sjizzle. Are the two post-processing softwares reciprocally compatible, and if yes, are any benefits to expected from using the two of them at the same time?

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I a total newby on this respect

EDIT: please ignore my first question: I have just found your preset file in the main folder of your mod lol

My other doubts are still standing

Hi gap.

What to do with that ini file?

I have copied SH5preset.ini in the SH5 main folder but i don't know if something else needs to be done

I'm noob too with Reshade…

1 install Reshade where you installed your game
(D: \ Sh5 \ Silent Hunter 5) example

choice this box if you use a Radeon card

https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers...7902754-01.png

2 choice direct x 9

https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers...7903266-02.png

3 leave ticking any option at the start to be able to select them later these are the effects brought by reshade

https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers...71-capture.png

4 start your game
5 in your game press home you should have this:

6 in the task bar choose + create a profile name the "Sh5 test Reshade" for example
7 choose the desired effect
8 in setting program your effect key for example "f10" for my part
9 save everything now whenever you ask f10 the desired effect should appear in game
10 close your game and go to the root of your game to find the preset you have created titled "Sh5 test Reshade" replace it with the one proposed in the mod if you wish or simply put your own !!!

Digging this refit!! I'm new to SH5 and went all-in with TWOS 2.2.21 & this refit.

However, I'm having three issues, the first causing major pain.

1. In both periscopes the thickened line at the top is covering too much of the bearing scale and is difficult to use. Can you make a version with a thinner line at the top and/or bottom of both periscopes?

2. Refitted ship textures don't load in until you're close to the ship. If I immediately surface in the RAOFB mission and go to the bridge. The target just to the left of the bow is grey, but when viewed through the binoculars, it is black (just as with the scopes). As you approach the ship with the naked eye it will eventually turn from grey to black.

3. I cannot get the reshade menu to open inside the game after following the steps above, so I can't use the customer shaders. Any tips?

Finally, I have a request. Can you re-texture the TWOS RAOBF to be a little darker & scales clearer? It is blinding when trying to target at night.

I'm running 21:9 3440x1440,75Hz with these mods:

TWoS Aspect Ratio Fix 21x9
TWoS Officer Icons as Stations
TWoS Real Navigation
TWoS SM Interior_Food Stocks
TWoS Encrypted BdU Orders
TWoS Remove Map Plastic Cover
TWoS Missing Nav Map Coordinates_Fix

I really like this mod!!!

What irritates me are the periscope textures

Can this be removed?

What version of TWoS do you use? I don´t have that textures in my scopes; the default TWoS textures of the scopes are different. Do you use some other mod for the scopes?

Welcome back aboard!

I have TWoS 2.2.22 and no other Scopes Mods.
I was able to remove the two textures.

In my TWoS 2.2.22 installation with Boogies´s, I don´t see the bad effects in textures you see.

Interior Food Stocks causes some graphics problems when you use external camera. If you use ext. cameras, it is preferable do not use the Interior Foods. I don´t know if this could be the cause of your problem.

Best regards and good luck!
