SH5 Gold Edition - Crew Dialog Box Issues

[GhostStorm]

Hi Guys,

I'm using SH5 Gold Edition, patched to 1.2 and Win7 64bit. I have TDWs Generic Patcher installed and am using Sjizzles.gps file

The issue I'm experiencing is that when using either TDWs NewUI or Magui UI, I don't see the crew dialog boxes, making accurate targeting impossible.

Initially I suspected it may have been incompatibility with the NewUI mod, but it's the same with Magui for some reason.

Without using either of these two mods, the crew dialog boxes appear and work as they should - but obviously without one of these mods you lose so much of the game ability to interact with the crew effectively.

I can install and use all mods (eg I've tried and used all Fifi's "approved" mod lists, the basic, intermediate and full listings) and graphically / performance wise they run fine and with no CTDs - the exception being the lack of crew dialog boxes obviously.

I've un/reinstalled from scratch several times.

Any help / advice really appreciated as consequently I'm stuck at the moment.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is it because it's the Gold Edition?

Many thanks in advance.

Did you check for multiple folders?
Some modders put multiple folders in their compressed file. You must uncompress the mod file structure FIRST and then check the folder levels.
Game\MODS\modname\data
NOT like this:
Game\MODS\modname\foldername\data

Hmm ... to be honest I didn't. I just extracted everything to C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS and assumed that would be it

Will reinstall all Mods and confirm they're correct - thanks Mikemike47, I appreciate the advice.

I've checked the mods folder structure and the are all as they should be. eg SH5\MODS\modname\data

But even when ONLY using NewUIs v7.50 or Magui (as the only active mod in JSGME) I 'lose' the crew dialogs. Without them crew dialogs appear as they should.

Can anyone help please?

Welcome by the way, GhostStorm.

Disable all mods. Click on signature link below and see if anything there helps.

Or something is wrong with how you have enabled NewUIs v7.50 or Magui STILL or their downloads originally are corrupt perhaps.

Thanks for this Mike ...
I've tried literally disabling every mod except NewUIs and still everything works except the crew dialogues so it's not a conflicting mod issue.
As per your link, I've checked and triple checked the folder structures and they are as you suggest.
I'm getting no error messages at all.
I've even tried lowering all graphic levels to absolute minimum - even though the game will happily run on higher settings.
I just can't get the crew dialogues to appear with NewUIs or MagUI - without one or the other they appear as planned!
The potentially corrupt download is my only option left to try.
Frustrated is an understatement after having succesfully 'mastered' Real Nav etc only to find that I can't succesfully attack anything!
