[REL] Open Horizons II (old thread)

[Trevally.]

The FX mod should be before the OH II.

Sorry I do not know about Battlestations_soundmod_1.1, so many mods use that file.

What you could do is check out TDWs new "Sh.sdl editor"

Sorry Stormfly - I can't see it. Can you point it out, thanks

[Stormfly]

simply install battlestations sound mod before OH II, delete all \sound\SH.sdl file`s from following on mod folders...

or make a new mod folder "OH II SDL file" and copy \Data\sound\SH.sdl from OH II mod folder into it (including directory structure), enable last.

...same for SDBSM

Low FPS

If you are getting low fps while you are leaving the bunker - they will improve when you are 30km away from it.

This may also happen when you are close to mines.

If your fps are very low and it is spoiling your game - you should try the "Light" version. It has no extra units so will give you a fps boost.
All the new objectives and the extra campaigns are also in the light version.

made it out of the 30km harbor/bunker zone without ctd using the full version !

thank you so much guys !

When leaving Wilhemshafen on a Happy Times mission, there are several ships laying too deep in the water, some with decks virtually awash. Norwegian flags on some of the merchants are stiff, not waving like the other flags.
These oddities might not be restricted to Wilhelmshafen only, and it seems only imported ship types are affected by this too deep draft issue.

I ask the guys who have created/imported the affected ship types (and flags) to take a closer look, and contact Trevally or Zedi with possible solutions.
Unfortunately I'm not quite sure about their names, but I think at least TDW and Rongel are involved.

As it is now, those half sunken ships etc. almost cripple the otherwhise brilliant visual harbour atmosphere.

Hopefully the relevant people are reading this.

Haven't finished Open Horizons yet, great mod indeed.

Now OHII available, doubt whether to finish OH first or give up OH then start totally new OHII.

Though I hate mines and heavy defense of ports, Awesome job !

Well Done Chaps,

Im glad to see you got your Mod released. Ive spent the morning
setting it up and have run a quick trial and it seems to load up fine.
I did encounter the telleport to boat without loading but I Docked
;as per instructions , and next time the mission loaded.
I did have a few questions but they have been covered in previous
posts. So for now all that has to be done is to enjoy the fruits
of your labours.

Thanks verry much for sharing your brilliant work.

I start a new campaing in 1939 on East coast of England my navigator report a task force, but on visual i gather two merchant ships at speed of ~20 knots.

For test version and a little play. Only this glitch its okay!

Great Mod!

I was hoping that TDW's fixes would take away the "frozen flag" problem, but it seems that it's not... This seems to be totally random bug, and still after many hours looking into it, I have no clue what is causing it (other than the imported ships). If you save the game and load it, the flags will most likely work again.

I have seen the draft issue too in previous test version of the mod. This seems to be a random bug too.

If you ask me , it looks like OPEN HORIZONS II has to be enabled after NewUIs_TDC_6_6_0_ByTheDarkWraith because it overwrites
Silent Hunter 5\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_6_6_0_ByTheDarkWraith\data\sea folder . It confirms that when i open the mission editor . Ok i see where you tell me that on the first post , maybe highlight it in yellow for noobs like me .

Hi Guys,

I have previously come accross a problem where the Dopler Effect
totally crashes my PC. I assume others with the same sound card as me
allso experienced this problem as I was able to find two fixes for the
problem.
1. run speker config in stereo instead of surround
2. Use a modified sh.sdl file with the dopler effect removed.
Up until now I have been using a modified sh.sdl but have been restricted
to not using any sound mods that introduce new sounds , only mods that
replace existing sounds.
I therefore took the liberty to edit the sh.sdl file that came with Open H 2
and changed all the Dopler Effect values to 0.00. I have tested the file
and found I no longer get the crash.
I would like to ask permission to make this file available for others
to upload , if thats OK.

Thanks

Stewy
