SH5 Mod Guide for Beginners

[steevo45]

Trying to get back into SH5 these days as problems with saving games in SH3 but there's a few things I can't sort out.
1. can't for the life of me work out how to get the dials in the new UI's TDC 750 Dark Wraith
2. Crash dive starts about 20 seconds after i order it, (too late!) How can I change that?
3. Out on patrol when enemy sighted the game goes to x64; far too late especially in foggy weather when your suddenly dead!
4.Tried the sobers list but game screwed up and crashed too often so tried following order garnered from looking at a few mod soups. Seem OK?
Any easy to follow idiot proof tips or help very much appreciated.....
Anyway the game ctd's straight after starting a career every time!

Hi Steevo

Quote >1. can't for the life of me work out how to get the dials in the new UI's TDC 750 Dark Wraith

If you are using the default Enhanced UI then there should be a button on the attack scope station for selecting.

In TDW’s Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV) if you want to change the UZO dials then go to the OFEV TDC tab and select UZO TDC mode.

Quote > 2. Crash dive starts about 20 seconds after i order it, (too late!) How can I change that?

In the OFEV go to the Crash Dive Tab where you can set your own time.

Order is given (simulates crew clearing the topside deck) default is 20 (seconds)

Quote > 3. Out on patrol when enemy sighted the game goes to x64; far too late especially in foggy weather when your suddenly dead!

See my tutorial post #116 where you can change your time compression settings.

See also in the OFEV go to the Time Compression Tab.

Quote > 4.Tried the sobers list but game screwed up and crashed too often so tried following order garnered from looking at a few mod soups. Seem OK?

See my tutorial post #35 and post #38

Choose 1 as you cannot use both of these together.

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 Hotfix_2 (without date)
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 (available by date) V9 by sober

This might be the cause of your ctd.

Or this?

Hi

I am no pro and no geek. I know modded SH4.

I begin now SH5. Wanted a good modlist to make most of it since the beginning of a cool campaign. I want the best environment for manual targeting, but Im not hardcore, want to retain some automatic abilities.

I have a Steam version and won›t use the TDW. TheDarkWraight has created cool stuff with others, always looking at realism and accuracy. However, some stuff of his conflicts with other cool mods.

It has been been a lot of googling, subsim-ing, and then JSGME try-and-error. Spent more time on this than on playing it.

It maybe missing great mods, or with not-the-best mods, I don't know.

Anyways> it may help save some time.

I am completely new to Silent Hunter 5, and I am not very computer savy, as some of the younger players are. To start I would like to know what is the single best mod download; that is simple and safe for a beginner. I would like kind of a step by step instruction, at least for the very first one. I need how to open the downloaded file, and how to put it the proper Silent Hunter file. I would like to know things like how to get torpedos without having to return to port, and ect. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Hi The Berbster,

Quick noobish question for you if you can spare the time:

What's the added value of TDW’s GFP, besides Real Nav and Trevally's tutorials?

I checked your link http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...17#post2228917, but it-s quite complicated and Im not sure I want to risk a modsoup that finally works by touching config files and such, for an added value I don't know about.

Anyways, thanks for your past help, much appreciated.

Welcome to SUBSIM medved :-)

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi JvM

Can I first ask if you who you installed SH5?

Steam download?

Other SH5 download?

Installed from a Dvd?

Tdw’s Generic File Patcher (GFP) as well as fixing many of the bugs in the game especially the torpedo patches also allows you to make changes so you can personalize your game.

Some sophisticated changes can also be made for the player who wants to play with more control of his boat.

Without the GFP you are likely to have some problems in your games.

Trevally’s Tutorial is a mod and does not have any link to the GFP.

As far as Real Navigation goes this is a mod.

There is one change that may or may not be essential in the GFP regarding text menus.

There are also additional changes that can be made in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer.

Look forward to your reply.

Peter

Hi

SH5, well modded, is a great experience, for new subsimmers of for old SH4'ers like me.

First of all, go check TheBerbster's thread, with everything you need to know. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=211804

Now, when you have the steam version only, is it that bad? Not necessarily. It took me a lot of subsimming and goggling to find out what should be known to any new beginner.

You have 2 main options (besides purchasing a dvd or playing the stock version...):

1. 'De-steamize' your game. Follow this procedure and use the whole range of TDW’s GFP.

That's required if you want to go ultra-realistic and use as they are the big mods' compilations out there, with TDW v7.5.0. Real Navigation', and the DBSM full audio environment, and more stuff. LAST MINUTE: TheBerbster points out that it fixes many bugs and allows for significant improvement and customization - I sure don't challenge that, but I assume it's not essential for a relative rookie.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...17#post2228917

2. 'Have a good steam-compatible mod-list'. This one works, and gives me a relatively stable, highly advanced environment. I play full 'realistic' mode, while keeping external camera and map udpdates. With this modsoup, you have all the good graphics, interfaces, tools and charts improvements I could find.

Lots of try-and-error behind this. I don't pretend it to be perfect at all, just that it works, with only few CTD (when I mess with the mods/JSGME during patrol...). If you see redundancies, omissions or conflicts, please let me know.

Still, it brings SH5 to another level altogether. Have fun and thanks to SUBSIM and all the modders who do a truly amazing job.
