need help with OHII v.2.5 Clarifications please (Edited)

[dkelley254]

Ahoy Mates,

Because of PC issues, I lost SH5 v.1.2 with MODS that made my gaming very enjoyable. Not finding OHII v. 2.4 available, these MODS using OHII v2.5 display severe compatibility issues.

A copy of OHII v. 2.4 would solve those issues. However, the opportunity to play the new version is quite thrilling.

What may I do to restore the grouping I had or make compatible these MODS in OHII v. 2.5?

Accurate German Flags
Equipment Upgrades v. 1_4
Equipment Upgrades fix v 1_4
Enhanced Recognition manual
One torp one ship

With kind regards,
dkelley

Hiya,

I can partly help as i use several of those mods

This is a partial cut of my mods from top down

Accurate German Flags (i always use this first)

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
#Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix (add this)
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 (available by date) V9 by sober (add this)


OPEN HORIZONS II v2.5
OH II v2.5 Grid Request fix Patch SH5 (add this)

That's the order i use, left gaps where other mods were so not to make things unclear

The manual i will look up later, the onetorponeship, i would use that after any fx etc, ie lastly, just to try

Manual off top of my head, try before and after OH II 2.5 Grid Request fix Patch

Get back to you later

Stick With It

Copy/paste your mods up if you can, that way everyone gets an idea of how things might fit

Thanks Def. The manual is integrated into OH II v. 2.5

The "one torp one ship" is a powered up cheat. One torp and down she goes. There is a second version of this mod that is less powerful. OH II v. 2.5 also has a mod that gives T1's more "ump" providing you place your mark on the weakest part of the ship. It is conceivable to sink a large tanker with one torpedo if you know where to hit it. I have been successful many times, but with the tanker I angled a bow shot, and down she went.

Many thanks. I am looking forward to making these changes you have suggested.

With best regards,
Dan

Hiya,

Let us know how you get on Dan

How do you start a new career in a port a port like Kiel when you have skipped the tutorial in OH 2.5? I'm always forced into starting with the Baltic campaign or no assignment, but I'm forced tp begin in East Prussia.

I've already tried the mod Start with V!!B, but it no matter waht the load it won't work with OH 2.5 nine of my other mods influence the mission selection in a career and Silentotto doesn't override this either if I choose to start in 1939.

Any help wound be appreciated!

Check and see if you have this or similar

C:\?????\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\Career History

If you have then change the tutorial from false to true.

Go to file

Go to save

Exit

If you do not have 'career history' then you have to do the tutorial.

Thanks for the reply THEBERBSTER

I must not have explained the problem correctly.

I've been playing SH3,4 & 5 for some time now and have also changed the tutorial to true in SH5 often. The problem occurs only after that when I attempt to start a new career and answer skip the tutorial and I answer yes for Total Germany. When I then go to get my mission orders I always must start with Baltic operations and from the East Prussia. Stating a new career and typing silentotto still the same choice when I begin with the Total Germany in 1939

If I uninstal OH.2.5 the problem goes away and I can start in Kiel. So it seems to be an issue with OH 2.5 By altering the start dates of the other Total Germany missions in OH 2.5 I can select any of them them, but I still start way over in East Prussia in a Type VII-A.

Is the only way to avoid this to run the fist mission without OH 2.5 and then install in port before the next mission? I have no problem altering the OH 2.5 files for initial base location, but I haven't found the correct way to do that just yet and I prefer not to do too much altering that fine mod.

Am I missing something obvious???

Thanks again!

Hi Comvas

The tutorial within SH5 is set in the Baltic and you must fire a few torps to pass it.
This tutorial can be skipped as explained by others.

The mod OHII starts the campaign in Memel where you must aid the start of the war against Poland - then you are based in kiel
If yuo want to skip this start - all you need do is dock and start patrol 2 times.

Well thanks Travally
