[BUG] Tonnage bar won't fill up (what mod)

[THEBERBSTER]

Do you guys have the Game Launcher in the Program x86 folder?

Is your main SH5 folder in a different place?

I have this installation

D:\Games\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher

C:\Documents\ SH5

Should I move this

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher

To this?

D:\Games\Ubisoft\

no need to move it ....i have it also

[THEBERBSTER]

I have installed a new dvd with these settings.

D:\Games\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher

C:\Documents\ SH5

I played on line with stock + GFP and FX_Update_0_0_22 by TDW + stock patch > British Coastal Waters.

I then played on line with 14 mods + GFP + OFEV > Baltic

All sinking dates showing correctly in the Captains Log but no Tonnage Bar entries!

Any ideas what I should be doing or should not be doing?

Currently at a total loss as what to do next.

After game reloads and mod resuffles I've given up on this problem for now and edit the save game histories manually and the use the "Active campaign selector for Silent Hunter 5" Mod to move onto the next major campaign step if I'm blocked. It keeps your history unlike silentotto http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1817

It is a bit of a pain but it works until a real fix appears. I may continue to use the mod even after a fix. It may release me a bit from the tyranny of only set missions in the campaigns of SH5 & OH.

You can see my current mod list in my profile.

as u can see in the first campaign.srt there is no objective to sink any amount of tonnage so i think that's why the tonnage bar will not fill up. in the first is only patrol Objective no sinking ship tonnage objective at all

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Sjizzle

Unfortunately it does not explain why the tonnage bar does not fill up in both British Coastal Waters and Breaking the Fortress.

I did a manual save in the lagoon surfaced.

I then had 3 AIG saves after the manual save and I then sank both the BB and the BC with no tonnage bar filling.

I deleted the 3 AIG saves and loaded the manual save and sent a radio patrol report coming out of the lagoon.

I then had AIG saves and sank the BC and immediately got a AIG save.

The tonnage bar had filled and the icon in Breaking the Fortress was showing.

Even without the tonnage bar filling there are no corruptions showing in the Captains Log and the sinking's are being correctly shown.

I also think now it is better not to request the mission!

Hi Sjizzle

This was posted back in March this year and I wonder if this could be the problem and this file needs to be removed for OHII v2.5?

please let me know if this fixed the issue

please try the above fix Sober - I think that the default patrol messages are being read and not the new mission ones - renaming that .tsr should fix it

as I can see there are four .tsr files - patrol(km).tsr, patrol(nm).tsr, patrol.tsr and patrol_backup.tsr.. and they are identical except the patrol(nm).tsr (because of nautical miles).. maybe Trevally meant to rename all of them except the patrol_backup.tsr?

Sorry guys - I should have been clearer here

I am 99% sure that the game is reading that common patrol.tsr before even looking to see if there is a specific one for each patrol mission.
If you look at that patrol.tsr - you will see that the messages you are getting is coming from it.
Delete/remane that file and the game will not find it and thus use the correct one linked in the mission file

as u can see in the first campaign.srt there is no objective to sink any amount of tonnage so i think that's why the tonnage bar will not fill up. in the first is only patrol Objective no sinking ship tonnage objective at all

Don´t know if this would help. I use OHII and the "No tonnage bar" mod because I suffered from the same bug. Even with the "crosses" from the tonnage bar removed from my game, I´m still able to know if my tonnage bar was or wasn´t filled up, because when I quit the game the screen shows "pending" or "complete" next to the mission name. It also shows "finished" when the time limit is reached, and - I think - the tonnage bar objective wasn´t reached.

However, in my first mission of "Operation Drumbeat" I got an objective of sinking a certain amount of tonnage in the US coast. I did it, and in my entire carreer (OHII without the tonnage bar) it was the first time that "completed" was shown next to the mission name... Maybe it helps?

Tks!
