[REL] Stormy`s DBSM collection SH5

[bstanko6]

Hey guys I have a question about this mod. I am interested in using it. I do use TWoS.

Now I think it is more than just removing the sdl file correct?

I dont want to change the keybindings, I just want the sound and speech. is that possible?

I read THEBERBSTER stuff on it, but it seems I would have to change keybindings? am I correct?

If you want to keep original TWOS keybindings, you should delete Stormy Cfg/Commands too, i think.

Ok. I will look into it. Thanks.

Ok so far it works great, no change to key bindings, but the crew changed! Well, Dobenacher changed. He is a younger guy without an eyepatch. Is this correct??? How do I change it back?

I want my pirate back!

Without Stormy Cfg/Commands file, your crew has changed?
Can’t tell you...currently on SH4 OM mod, sorry mate.

Hi B
Your crew can be found here.
Silent Hunter 5\data\menu\skins\German\gui\crew\
If you disable Stormy's mod check what XO is now showing.
When you enable a mod JSGME writes away the original settings and then restores them again when the mod is disabled.

If it is with the eye patch copy and paste to Stormy's mod replacing the existing one.
If that does not work then let me know and I will up load the picture for you.
If by chance you made a copy of the TWoS cfg/commands file before deleting it then you can take the picture from there.
It is always a good practice to make a copy as a backup before making any changes.

Here is how to make the DBSM mod compatible with TWoS. I'm currently playing with it in v.2.2.10 of TWoS. My modification will remove all keyboard settings of DBSM, only retaining the sounds, speech and scripts of the crew.
This adjustment will both work with TWoS and a modded SH5 game v.1.2. Just follow exactly the install instructions!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Stormy's Das Boot Sound Mod (DBSM) v.1.3 adjusted for TWoS 2.1.0 - 2.2.10 and the stock SH5 v.1.2 game
************************************************** ************************************************** ***

Will add some awesome new speech sound taken from the movie Das Boot as well as some other sounds inside and outside the sub. Changes the crew appearance in the sub to be somewhat similar to what you see in Das Boot.

I have adjusted Stormy's DBSM mod to be used in TWoS 2.1.0 - 2.2.10. I wanted to have only the new Speech, new sound, new crew appearance. I didn't want to have any new keyboard setting.

This adjusted mod can be used both in TWoS and as part of a modlist for SH5 v.1.2. In a personal modlist it will require MightyFine Crew Mod 1.21 for best results. In all install variations (see below) the crew will move more realistically and naturally inside the boat, and will climb up and down the ladder when appropriate.

What I did and what is replaced/adjusted/deleted:
------------------------------------------------

I have taken these original mod files:

- Stormys_DBSM_SH5_v1.3 Basemod
- Stormys_DBSM_SH5_v.13_additional_crew_sounds_beta6

and I have removed the following:

- Deleted all files for the new keyboard command settings, thus deleting the Menu, Library and Cfg folder (Basemod).
- Keeping only the Scripts and Sound folder, which is the new crew (Basemod).
- Deleted the sh.sdl file (thanks vdr1981) in both packages above to make the mod compatible with TWoS. (Important!)
- Taken the beta6 folders and files as is but removing the sh.sdl file. (beta6)


Note:
Go to subsim.com to download the 2 ORIGINAL Stormy mods, also the mod MightyFine Crew Mod 1.21, and do the changes mentioned above.

Installation:
-------------
You can play Stormy's adjusted mod with the stock crew appearance, or with the crew appearance of 'Das Boot', your choice. And you can install it as part of a stock game modlist or in TWoS. However, the NewUI crew icons (used for giving orders) will only look like the stock crew.

a) Installing in TWoS with the crew 'Das Boot':
Do NOT install anything from MightyFine Crew Mod 1.21, it's already contained in TWoS.
Install this adjusted mod as explained above in JSGME, AFTER the entire TWoS mod and its optional additions.
Install first the adjusted basemod, then the adjusted beta6 package allowing overwrite.

b) Installing in TWoS with the stock crew only:
Do NOT install anything from MightyFine Crew Mod 1.21, it's already contained in TWoS.
Additionally to the instructions above, remove the Scripts folder in both packages (Basemod + beta6).
Install this adjusted mod in JSGME, AFTER the entire TWoS mod and its optional additions.
Install first the adjusted basemod, then the adjusted beta6 package allowing overwrite.

c) Installing in SH5 v.1.2 with the crew 'Das Boot':
Install 'MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Stock faces' taken from the zip folder in the package MightyFine Crew Mod 1.21.
Immediately after in JSGME, install this adjusted mod with the changes made as explained above.
Install first the adjusted basemod, then the adjusted beta6 package allowing overwrite.

d) Installing in SH5 v.1.2 with the stock crew only:
Install 'MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Stock faces' taken from the zip folder in the package MightyFine Crew Mod 1.21.
Additionally to the instructions above, remove the Scripts folder in both packages (Basemod + beta6).
Install this adjusted mod in JSGME immediately after the 'MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Stock faces'.
Install first the adjusted basemod, then the adjusted beta6 package allowing overwrite.

Important:
I have tested this adjustment mod in TWoS 2.1.0 and TWoS 2.2.10, as well as in my personal stock game modlist, it's ok, but this doesn't mean that I have found and eliminated all possible clashes and inconsistencies with TWoS, also for future versions of TWoS I don't know if it's still wise to use, you must follow additions to TWoS in the future and eventually stop using this adjusted mod if some better sounds are added in TWoS.

Warning:
If something doesn't work anymore after you have installed this, then remove it from JSGME and go to see if all has turned 'normal' again. You are at your own risk when using this!
