Copy mod folder from the patch file
Paste it in your sh5 mod folder.

It will ask about merging folders - say yes
It will ask about replacing files - say yes

Re-install main mod (it is now patched)

This has puzzled me aswell. When installing the first patch, i simply opened up Patch 1 folder, then opened up the MODS folder (in Patch 1) and copied Magnum_Opus Patch 1 into my SH5 MODS folder then enabled it .....it seemed to work despite not disabling the Main Magnum_OPus Mod first.!

However, with Patch 2, im puzzled because it contains a MOD folder like the other, but also has other files like "Nvidia missing lights" seperate to the MODS folder?

So do i install the contents of Patch2 MODS folder, and the "Nvidia missing lights" folder, or is it all contained in the Patch 2 MODS folder anyway?


My other query, is changing some of the user option. Do i need to de-activate all the mods (Magnum_Opus + Patches) then change options, then re-install, or do i need to remove the mods entirely out of JSGME altogether before changing and re-installing?

Sorry for being a bit random, but where is the length of the ship I select in the recognition manual, can't seem to find the darned length anywhere on the ship page. I need this length of the ship or else I won't be able to calculate speed accurately.

The only part of the Magnum_Opus mod im not likeing is "Dooms Decks", which i belive gives the wooden style deck to my boat.

How do i go about removing this? i cant seem to find the file, and what is the procedure.

Thanks

I too wanted to remove "Dooms Decks" and did it like this:

Before activating Magnus Opus delete the following files from folder data\Textures\TNormal\tex:

Uboat7A_deck.dds 1366 KB
Uboat7B_deck.dds 1366 KB
Uboat7C_deck.dds 1366 KB
Uboat7C41_deck.dds 1366 KB

Worked form me.

Did anyone else notice that the Uboat does not settle at the ordered depth? For example, when I order periscope depth (12 m) it stops at 10 meters, when I order 25 meters it stops at just 22, and when I order 50 meters it only dives at 45.
Is it a general behavior, or just a bad install of the mods (Magnum Opus + Patch 2 + a few sound mods)?

Yes, I also noticed that periscopes depth and snorkel depth where quite shallow also. When the boat is stationary depth is somewhat accurate but with some speed The boat raises (planes) a meter or two. the radar antenna sticks above the surface at PD and at snorkel the sail breaches the surface at speed. Not very stealthy.(Please fix DW) I don't have a CTD problem but since patch 2 The game locks up and freezes not sure why but I'm doing a clean install of SH5 to clear anything my mod soup left behind and my GPU driver a 250GTS is up to date also. Might have screwed up the patch install not sure. I'll start fresh tomorrow.
Overall the mod is the best ever thanks to all who put effort into it and for Dark Wraith putting the pieces together seamlessly. It only gets better from here boys, good hunting
NOTE: Magnum Opus now needs a bad A$$ logo or intro screen time to dust off photo shop

What do you mean by locks up? If it's the infamous "display driver stopped responding and recovered" error, I found the best cure to it (I have a GTX 260) is to turn Triplebuffering on and switch the power scheme from Adaptive to Performance. Hope this helps

Just copy and paste it to your mods folder and enable with JSGME
or you can copy the folder called "data" from the lights folder and past into main mod folder - allow merging and overwritting.

You can always tell if a mod is ready to install by JSGME if it has a "data" folder when you open it.

No you don't need too. copy options.py to desktop and make changes.
Then open from the mod folder \data\Applications and run the OptionsMigrater. this can be used time and again when updated change you option.py file

Thanks guys, i'll have a play with this


Edit. Im needing some help with the OPtions migrater!...i've copied the options.py to desktop, adjusted as required, opened the OptionsMigrater, but im lost from there!, its an empty screen with the only option: File / "open old options". What do i do next?

Edit, I decided to remove all my save games and current campaign, and un-install all mods. Before installing again, i went into SH5/MODS/ Magnum_Opus 0.1/Menu/Options and changed the Uboat number + Captins name - saved.Then i removed the Dooms Decks files. I then re-installed all mods including Patch 2 and started a fresh campaign. I noticed three things:

1. Dooms Decks has gone
2. I now have a strange lighting issue when moving up and down the conning tower (when you look up it goes dark, then light again when you look straight!) did'nt happen before Patch 2

3. The log book still say's U021 + TDW !!!!


Edit: My god, i finally sussed it....You go into Ubisoft/SH5/DATA not Ubisoft/SH5/MODS/ !!! at last

One of the most useful piece of info a confused noob like me have seen in a long time.

Beloved people, does anyone know how to configure FaT and LuT torpedoes in MO?

There´s already two threads and no answers ...

[Lewis Wingerter]

I am using Magnum_opus . I am having trouble with the speed of my target. When I locked on I get the pointer and all my dials start moving but the ship speed go to zero. I noticed the problem before when I was using TDW UI 6.30. I deleted all mod and install Magnum- opus. Has anyone else had this trouble.
