Unzip my generic patcher to your desktop.
Open the folder.
Run the app.
Select language.
Click File-->Open
You'll have to specify the path to every file it needs the first time so select \Silent Hunter 5 folder
Let it install new sections and continue patching
Enables patches

It really is that easy!

Lol why did u not say so from the beginning
So i dont need to copy the folder to the MODS folder in SH5 and run it thru GME? Its realy what you wrote from the beginning, so im not the one who made it hard

And the files i was copying from SH5 dir to the generic folder, no need for that either? Acording to the "how to" thread its like SH5.exe and some other files...

Disable all the render patches you enabled.

I'm not trying to single you out as an idiot. I'm trying to help you.

The yellow triangles for the map colors are ok. Don't worry about it. Yellow triangle means caution could be a problem. A bomb sign means game will surely crash because not everything the patch requires is enabled (could be it requires patches in other files to be enabled - see the Dependencies= node).

If you want to change map colors double click on the IsColor node (if it says True). That will open a color select window where you can select the color wanted.

The app is a modern windows app that uses context menus. Right click on entries/nodes to see options available. Place mouse cursor over entries/nodes to get tooltip window to show.

Np =)

I got the game to work and it seems like some of the things do what they are supposed to do... however. Still no luck with the torpedo thing.
I realy dont understand what im doing wrong here. My torpedos still miss the target. Fired 4 at a target 800 meters away and all 4 still missed.

Are you doing manual targeting or gamey (easy) targeting? If doing gamey targeting lock onto the contact and then unlock it. Fire torpedoes.

Im doing the easy way.. Yea ok. So first lock, then unlock? Then fire... Gonna try that.

Got to a harbour and got some more problems. Saw a bunch of sitting ducks, Fire and all my torpedos was duds.. Except one that was premature. Not sure wich of the patches i am suppose to remove. But i guess i have to try untill i got the game the way i want it. And another strange thing was when i fire at a destroyer of some kind, he was staning still at 900 meters, the torpedos got the right path, but they just went thru the ship.. Tested diffrent depth from 1-3 meters but they all just went trhu the ship and exploded on the beach (Poor basterd in speedos drinking martinis) ?

I made the app so I think I know how it works

You are obviously having problems following the how-to method so I gave you a fool proof way of making it work

Ok... First of. Sorry if im beeing a ass here.
I realy tried to behave. But its realy hard when i dont get it to work, Im frustated I Did follow the step by step help in the forum, but as i said, It dont seem to be up to date, There are files that are located in a folder thats not mentioned in the step by step thing. Thats a fact, u realy did a great job by doing this, i mean that: but still... Im not the one to blame if the reality wont match up to the old help thread, realy. Its easy for u to point me out as some kind of idiot that cant use a mouse when u made the program. Right? But still, It dont look the same as on ur screens and so.. Anywhay.. Whith that said...

Game crashes when i try to acess the map. When i run the Generic thing agin, I see a yellow warning sign at the map thing in the patch list, I guess there something wrong there? I cant enable it, it says something about clours, When i click on the colour thing and choose one i still cant enable it..
