TDW: could you use another version of numbering of this mod?
0.1.2 means: 0 - pre-release (beta) version, 1 - last vesrion available, 2 - patch for last version

This numbering is more natural to follow and understand which version is in use, like your Multiple UI 6.3.4.

You fixed most of the things that i was complaining about already! Performance is great now, lights work and I can choose the maps. Okay here's more!

1. I would also like to decide which faces the crew has. I had grown accustomed to the stock faces and I miss them. I don't like the beards that much. And it's unrealistic that they have it already when the patrol starts.

2. The new radio features are exciting! The bad thing is that when I'm navigating through Kiel, i'm bombarded by messages from another ships that see me! And they are friendly! I really like the idea that I can hijack a message and know if the enemy boat has seen me, but maybe there should be only a small chance of that (25 % for example.)

3. The beginning of the first campaign was totally different now! I don't know which mod does it but the Poland aspect worked really well. The bad thing was that I couldn't select the first Poland mission where you need to sink three polish ships. I could read the assigment but no "Request mission"- button.

4. Some german speech was replaced by english version, for example "Fire at will" -sound when using binoculars to attack with deck gun.

Graphically I think that it's better to stay quite close to the stock version (with env 5 and interior mod) of the game. So that you can select which new things you want to use. For example I miss also the previous deck watch crew clothes. Somehow these new look a bit lowres. And the violet caps are too violet for the games look (my opinion). I'm satisfied if I can manually change them back myself. But anyway great work It's getting better all the time!

1. They can easily be replaced by whatever you want. Just a simple .dds file change.

2. The game gives me no way to discern if a contact is friendly or not. Thus there's no way to filter out these radio messages. We either live with this or I remove the feature totally. Personally, it's a very small annoyance versus the immersion that it provides.

3. Not sure why that is happening

4. Someone will have to compile a list of which sounds have been replaced and put together a sound pack for it to be included with the mod then.

It is the Chief Engineer's sounds:

I think you have to use the german version of KarlKoch's speech fixes and additions.

This mod collection has made me install SH5 again. Absolutely great! Also, I'm honored to find that my VIIC shadow map has found its way into the mega mod, via TheBeast's "North Atlantic Grime Weathered" skin. Nice, glad to contribute.

Rock on, and full speed ahead!

EDIT: Keep getting CTDs in the very first mission...damn.

Oops! That was my mistake ! I skipped the tutorial and the Poland-mission was just a reminder of the tutorial. There really is no Poland mission. But it would be a great introduction to the game and to the campaign! It would work well with all the new radio news about the war...

If I want to change the heads, what .dds-file I should change? I tried to look for the right one but no luck. I have no idea what file says add beards.

And for the missing sounds, isn't KarlKoch's speech fixes and additions already installed with MO?

try this: load up career and when in bunker save career. Exit game. Restart game. Load saved career. See if that works.

Unfortunately, not for me

[Trevally.]

Edit. Im needing some help with the OPtions migrater!...i've copied the options.py to desktop, adjusted as required, opened the OptionsMigrater, but im lost from there!, its an empty screen with the only option: File / "open old options". What do i do next?

Next you select open old options, this will open a choice of where it is located.
Then select open new options, provide location.
Finally select migrate. This will copy all your settings from the old options to the new.

Try it - it is very easy to use

Sound. My SH5 copy is installed with the German voices. Right now... I got two commands voice: English and German Fier at will! Feuer frei!
It`s only happen when I click on the icons above crew. And when the radio massege incoming.
