Nope, changes to the same file results in overwriting. The previous mod will wind up broken.

You can merge the 2 manually though, this isn't an extensive change: Just search the file for "Periscope_Mask_1024_SH5.dds" and change that to "ObsPeriscope_Mask_1024_SH5.dds". Then drop the new .dds in the right location. (..\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Menu\Skins\German\Gui\Layout\)

By making the change to the ini, you tell the game to use a different file for the obs scope, normally both scopes use the same one. Nothing else is changed.

Wonder if we could make it toggleable? Can you script a dds change while the program is running?

Replacement, yes, but just for 1 scope so you still have your normal view as well.

I tried making it a toggle or draggable in SH4, but no succes. I'd really like it as well, since that's closer to what you would have had in real life. Gonna give it another go though, since they split up the menu.ini it's a lot more user friendly.


For the record: anyone is free to use this and improve on it. Not like I claim any rights to the concept/idea.
