[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

[dcb]

I don't want to be too pushy, but really, did nobody encounter the problem I brought up in one of my previous posts?
In brief, the Uboat does not settle at the ordered depth. When I order PD (12 m) it stops at 10 meters, when I order 25 meters it stops at 22 a.s.o.
Do you have any idea how to fix this issue?
Oh, and at least one more skipper reported the same problem in this thread.

Hi! I have encountered that too but it hasn't been bugging me that much (there are lots of other things that make me mad!). I don't know if it true or correct but in my mind it's because the machinery and the motors aren't that precise. So that you have to adjust the depth manually. It might be a real bug, but for me it's not that critical. At least not yet.

Right now I'm going crazy because manning/unmanning the guns by shortcut keys makes the boat surface again even though the keys aren't mapped to surfacing in any way . Ofcourse nothing happens, but to hear the lenghty sound clip for no reason isn't just right! (If somebody knows a fix please show me where to find it, couldn't find myself...).

Rongel, you probably have a Scandinavian keyboard like myself. I earlier have had various kinds of problems and oddities when trying various ready made keyboard mods to accomodate key command shortcuts and functions to my liking. In the end I decided to make my own keyboard mod, ie. Commands.cfg and F1 help files, that requires a few key settings in TDW's options.py to work correctly. All sounds are perfectly in line with all commands, using Winkelmander's DBSM 1.05 and Karl Koch's Speech Fixes and Additions (German version). With my keyboard mod there are no problems like yours. In case of interest we could PM each other...

I had a similar situation yesterday: Installed MO 0.0.1 plus patch 2 together with a couple of additional favourite eye & ear candy mods. Made certain adjustements to options.py (from my earlier options.py). I had CTDs upon starting (or continuing) a (new) campaign even before getting into the bunker. Thought maybe the reason was a sloppily adjusted options.py.

Took a fresh (virgin) version of MO patch 2's options.py and, instead of applying earlier settings with the OptionsMigrator, I took a previously well working options.py with my favourite settings, and opened it together with the virgin options.py (from patch 2) in Winmerge. In Winmerge it was ever so easy to compare both file versions, to pinpoint the differences and thus to transfer my favourite settings. This way I made sure that the new adjusted options.py was clean from sloppy errors like possibly in the earlier CTD version. Indeed, with this 'new' options.py adjusted with Winmerge, there were no more CTDs, and all has worked well.

I would like to able to dim all the UI to a point were its just visable. Silent hunter games have always been plagued with not being able to see Sh** at night due to, to much light around the screen and scope.

Given most attacks are at night, its absolutely vital to be able to see as clearly as possible, and having a brightly lit UI is just not needed ever. The Moded speed / range etc rings around the scope are so intrusive to my picture, its put me of attacking at night at all!

Ps. im using a spanking new HP ZR24W IPS monitor.

If theres not a mod, is there anyway i can adjust the UI brightness?

Thanks

Bugs
1, The supermark key C on the nav map is also used to toggle the compass and rudder angle Gauges.
2, Keep getting annoying radio messages every hour about a periscope being sited or enemy sub at logitude BLah de BLah latitude Blah de Blah. Can I disable this some how?
3, When I torped a merchant ship and it blew up and caught fire, i now have a strange red colour floating above the ship and on the ships water line, it disappeared when the ship sank, using standard shadows, as steel vikings shadows are a real framrate killer for me. Is this something to do with enviroment mod or TDW FX MoD.
But very impressive stuff here, thanks for all the hard work

Of course are you not alone!
This has randomly happened to me several times - not frequently.
Sometimes the sub seems to have a will of it's own. It simply decides to slightly change the ordered depth.
When ordering PD sometimes I get the 10 meters like you. Sometimes when i expect to reach PD and I go to the obs scope it sometimes barely reaches over the surface...
BUT if I then go directly from the obs to the attack scope it works normally.
This happens even at standard speed .
Something to keep in mind is that if your speed is very low (1-2 kn) the diveplanes cannot change the depth. They need at least about 4 knots to work effectively.
