[WIP] Mega-Mod for SH5

StarTrekMike · 04-12-11, 10:10 PM

Well I do intend on getting more RAM next payday (got bills to pay this week) but I don't know if it is just that.

As I said before, the game runs fine when I don't have MO installed and I don't think that MO adds any new merchants or surface warships with higher resolution textures than the stock game.

I imagine that the interior mod does not help things to much but it seemed to run find awhile ago...just seems to not want to work at all now.

I guess I will try to go at it with single mods until I get more ram in the machine...see how that works.

I was doing so well in that game...

MO adds a shadow mod (SteelViking: Shadow Improvement Mod (High res version)), that really stresses computers. I believe there is a reduced shadow mod to help with this.

Edited to add link :-

Here is the shadow mod link, here you will also find the reduced version.... Install after MO.

jwilliams and sober, I told you I am a computer neophyte. The good news is after following you instructions I now have a navigation mark of my sub

Still trying to change the compass lines and ruler lines. When I open SHV patch and open the file it is a blank page. There is no choice or anything. I have downloaded the patch 4 time same results, so I am doing something wrong. Thanks for all your help I just need a little more. What am I doing wrong.

Put the 4 files from the mod in the main game folder .
Then open the patcher program you just put in the main game folder .
Click , file , backup exe .
Then go back and click file , open ,TDW_SH5_Patches
Click on the TDW_SH5_Patches then click on the SH5.exe symbol .

In add. to my post #1324 re.CTD fail.

Yesterday I"ve tried to sink the friendly vessel while playing the "naked" vanilla game-version (without any mods installed). After the ship went to bottom I tried to activate "capt.book" - icon, and recieved the CTD fail.
MO capt.log file differs from the stock one, so we get game crash immedeately after critical torp./deckgun hit when MO and NewUI mods are enabled. If capt.log file have been deleted before starting the game, we should be able to sink a dozen of friendly ships in the harbour untill we decide to activate "capt.book" - icon. After that - CTD crash.

So everything is written in post #1324 is confirmed experimentally

Maybe you should try a mod you can find in the MO Patch 2:
Magnum_Opus_Patch_2\Shadows\Remove Steelvikings shadow mod\

StarTrekMike · 04-13-11, 06:52 PM

already tried that mod, it does make the game run better but it did not improve the CTD situation.

I am another megamod as a sort of test...I know how the stock game runs so I have a control to go off from. My hope is that I can narrow down what mod is doing this.

So far I have had a CTD with the other megamod but I need to see it happen more after more playtime to be sure.

Could be a corrupt download?

I think it might have something to do with running TC during certain conditions.

If memory serves, every CTD occured when I was in TC approaching a distant contact or some other time when I was in high TC (1024 and above).

I have been running below (1024) for a patrol and so far so good, if it continues to work I will reload MO and try it (right now I am using the UI-boat mega mod)

More info and such will follow as I get it.

Thank you all so much for your help, you always know how to keep me at a problem till it is solved.
