[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[Trevally.]

try the "not quite so good quality shadows".
I think that is what it was called or "light shadows"

Anyway - it is an addon mod within the MO pack for when you have low fps.

Hmm, what about 'FPS Limit'? What did you set?

So far you've tried the Magnum Opus, right?
What about the 'NewUIs TDC' By TheDarkWraith?
Give it a try and let's see if you get the same results. It can be run simultaneously with MO but try to activate the New UIs TDC alone first.
Here is a link to that thread.

As for both this one and the Magnum Opus by The Dark Wraith the latest version is always to be found at post #1.

Keep in touch

Edit;

Good suggestion above by Trevally.
You can also try to lower the shadows effect in the ingame Options/Graphics.
Another one - try to lower Anti Aliasing.

yep, I believe the name is Shadow Improvement Mod LR. It does help greatly. It is location with the MO Patch 0.2

Thank you. I've actually lurked around the forums for a while now to see how the mods progress. Indeed an awesome community!

As Silent Steel posted above... You need to set a limit for the FPS.

Here is how I've set my config file for Antilag :-

; D3D9 antilag config file
; by Kegetys <http://www.kegetys.net>

; RenderAheadLimit: Limit how many frames ahead are rendered to reduce input lag. 0 to disable.
; FPSlimit: Limit framerate for smoother gameplay and reduced cpu/gpu use. 0 to disable.

[config]
RenderAheadLimit=2
FPSlimit=35

I won't be home until tomorrow to test new stuff but here's all the troubleshooting I did before I posted my original message:

I tried running the game with fps limit set to 36 and 60 for each of the RenderAheadLimit values I mentioned earlier. Even with 36 the framerate always dropped to 3-5 fps eventually. Setting graphics to low with AA and such off had no effect either.

I've run NewUIs TDC for a long time now, currently have an almost up-to-date version (seems TDW released a new version this week). I've had a wide range of mods installed i.e. environment mods (currently running Dynamic Environment), sound mods, IRAI and all those little fancy mods that add realism and immersion to the game. And none of them have effected performance in any noticable way except MO.

I even loaded the game with MO as the only mod and the problem persists, so it's not a issue of incompatibility between mods either.

Tomorrow I'll try setting the RenderAheadLimit to 3 and also test the light shadows mod. This gets me thinking, does MO use some (heavier) shadow mod by default? I don't think the mods I've used change shadowing so I've probably only run vanilla shadows to date. Are there any other mods included in MO that have an effect on rendering so maybe it/they could be disabled? This is a bit baffling to me since the game indeed has an awesome framerate with max settings on my rig with any other mod except MO.

Thank you all for the tips, hopefully I get this solved tomorrow.

Excellent!!

I've had a break from SH5 for a while as i had to re-install Windows 7, and i've been having a crack at Rise of flight......a recent holiday looking at the sea has fuelled my intentions to return.

Any sort of rough ETA??

Thanks

For what it's worth: I think Zedi and Co's Das Campaign is going to be a significant part of Magnum Opus, and it'll be atleast another week before Das Campaign will be ready. This is the most significant event in Subsims since the realease of Silent Hunter 5. I have a feelin' it'll be worth the wait. It's not called Magnum Opus for nothin'

Hi guys new here, quick question.

I've installed magnum opus, its the only mod I have installed.

before installing this mod I had the little aiming numbers on my scopes and on the targeted enemy, how do I get these markers back while still using this mod.

Thanks in advance

Open up the TAI and/or NavMap features screens (You have to press the round button). There you'll find an option to display the torpedo circles.

Thanks man, luv ya work

While I'm asking questions

This mod installed a namograph, how do I use this.

I saw a youtube video a guy pulled what looked to be a ship recog manual (same style) it had speed/distance, does this namograph help with speed calculations?

Am I right in thinking I zoom into the map all the way, make a mark, time 1 minute measure distance, if its 250 I can see from the namograph its 9/10 knots?
