There was in previous versions but now there seems to be not anymore or maybe it's in the scripts folders ( I didn't check ) or at least I didn't find it.
At least in the OFEV there is not any option for editing the tools markings colours on the nav. map ( There are a few options but none covers this aspect )

Yes, that's weird, I re-checked TDW's patcher documentation, and I found no trace of the plotting line color patch. It is odd, because I remember that that was one of the first patches released.

Not too bad anyway, you managed changing those colors anyway, and in the process you have learned something new

No, those colors are hardcoded, so the option to change them can't be there. OFEV only modifies UI scripts and .ini files.

The change map colours patch is still there, you need to go through the 'generic patcher' to change it, its found in C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0 open the GenericPatcher.exe and say yes to everything, once the patcher is running, open the 4th file down from the top C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0\Patches\SH5 \TDW_SH5_Patches.sp5p (sh5) then open 'patches' foder and you can change the colours for the map in the 'Map Colors (map_colors) folder, once you have changed the colours save by taking a snapshot in the file folder to replace the current snapshot being used.

Initially I was searching for it but I was unable to find it even after a detailed post I've found about it. Many thanks mate the info you provided will help me a lot!

Danke mein Herr!

Maybe a stupid question... Why in the various patches contained in the patcher everything seems to be set at disabled? ( False ).

I was looking for example at the deck awash settings...In game I have it working but looking at the patch here ( same patch you indicated, 4th from top ) everything is set as " Enabled: False " ).

Shouldn't it be enabled instead?

( Just curious )

In addition...

For Steam versions of the SH5.exe:
Unable to provide solution to Steam users. The steam sh5.exe uses a form of self-modifying code copy protection that 'unpacks' the code when the executable is run. This form isn't impossible to read and decipher it just takes longer and quite frankly the reward to time relationship isn't worth it for me (not to mention that I can't run the .exe since I don't own the steam version of the game - I own the boxed version of the game). Sorry all. This is one reason why I never buy Steam based games unless I have to.

I'm using a Steam version so I presume it will not work ( or is it just an old statement? )

I've made a quick test...It seems to work also with the Steam version ( At least speaking of changing the colour of the map tool markings )

I have also tried to enable the manual control of the dive planes but it doesn't seems to work ( I can use the dive planes only on " auto " as per normal )

I've never get that dive planes working manually....

[Viktor_Prien]

Small update after further tests:

- Even enabling the manual dive planes controls in the patcher, at least using TWoS, they doesn't seems to work.

On surface they work ( at the least the hands of the dials can be moved up/down ) but they do absolutely nothing ( The sub will remain always on the surface even if you set the dive planes for diving )
When submerging, instead, for example going at periscope depth, soon as the two dive planes operators sit at their place, both the dive planes works only on " Auto " again and you can't even move the hands of the dials in any way ( Manually I mean )

To be noted that what achieved on the surface ( Dials's hands at least moving ) can be achieved only running a saved campaign mission. In single mission ( I have used for the tests the German Jet Fighter one ) they do not work at all.



*I have still to test what happens starting a new campaign
