why is my crew blind??

[Troutish]

I just modded my game with sober's mega mod files, everything is fine except that my watch crew never sees other ships till it is too late. Im running at 128TC max, but i get NO messages of ships sighted even when they start firing at me.

my watch officer's morale is 3 out of 8 - is that it? what mods or changes to CFG let me fix this?

have you enabled the "wake up crew" patch in the .exe patcher?

You havnt followed the rest of my instructions regarding TC settings or 1TC on message box messages . Read the first couple of posts om my mega mod thread .

I have enabled the TDW patcher in JSGME, but I dont see the "wake up crew" mod, nor, when i start the application do I see any other mods.

no, the files you are going to patch aren't affected by any mod so no need to disable them. Just follow Trevally's instructions, and enable the patched files as if they were a normal mod. Since they won't conflict with any existing mod, you can place them anywhere in your JSGME mod list

If you aren't using New UI's, yes. If you are, I think those lines are already in the menu.txt of the latest version, but just check for making it sure
