LOL..at least I dont feel too stupid now

I've got a test version of the options file editor/viewer available: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LIGE2PCT

As the editor/viewer depends on the menu.txt from my UIs mod the first thing you have to do it point it to the mod's menu.txt file (File-->Set path to menu.txt...). After that you are free to open an options file.

It's not complete yet. You can't edit hotkeys, menu txt items, or lists (like from TCx on xyz menu items). I haven't converted the whole v6.8.0 options file either but enough is done that you'll be able to test and see how everything is so far

To edit an option expand the entry and double click the value under the entry. If the option isn't editable (because I haven't finished coding everything) you'll get a messagebox saying what you clicked and what it's value is

After you've edited the included options file (and saved it) enable the mod (it's JSGME ready - just make sure it's last in the list of mods) and fire up my UIs mod to see if there are any problems

It's not compatible with old options files. You have to use the included options file. You'll need to migrate this options file to the included one then try and run the app again

Hi! I am trying to download the file: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20645...eDarkWraith_7z

However gamefront tells me that the file is currently unavailable:

Quote:

"The file you are looking for seems to be unavailable at the moment. Please come back later. "

Is there any chance of mirroring this file on mediaupload? I can also host it on my server if your interested. I would really like to get access to the UI mod as its the main reason I ended up buying SH5. Without the manual TDC I do not find the game's mechanics any fun.

Thank you.

EDIT: have noticed that all your files on gamefront are unavailable. I asked my friend in England to check the link and he gets the same message.

EDIT2:
Anyway I managed to get NEWUI's version 6_3_7 from your files list from subsims but it seems about half the size of the other one. Anyway hoping that file is up to date.

0rpheus · 09-12-11, 04:04 PM

6.3.7 is well out of date. The link works fine for me though (UK).

Rejenorst · 09-12-11, 11:03 PM

Yep link seems to work now for some reason.

Which one is the latest version btw?

I assume its 6.7.0?

Choose "Select a program from a list of installed programs" then click OK.

From the "Open with" dialog, scroll down till you find "Notepad". Highlight it and click OK. Notepad will open Python files for you now.

Instructions and Examples for NewUI + TDC:

This UI mod has added in more features to Silent Hunter 5 than it shipped with! Dial based TDC, convoy and single merchant contact times on the map, numerous map assists, dragable charts, "Integrated Orders" officer command bar, fully customizable UI options and key bindings. It's also constantly being updated with even more options and features.

Using this mod will completely change how you play SH5. It even has options to use the familiar SH3 or SH4 interfaces!

The following link is a video walkthrough of how to install . Because of all the options some people were getting confused about how to install it, so here ya go:

Mod Installation Video (Version 3.0.0):

Mod Features Demo Video (Version 3.0.0):

Screenshots of UI Options:

TDC Dial Options:

Optional Included Mods:

How to Change UI Styles:

First step is to find the options file to edit it. You can find the file under C:\Ubisoft \ Silent Hunter 5 \ MODS \ NewUIs_TDC_2_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith \ data \ Scripts \ Menu and the file is called TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py

Once the file is open you'll see some text like below. Just follow the instructions in blue to change to whatever style you'd like!

This is the default, SH5Enhanced style, no changes are needed:

If you wanted SH3Style:

And if you wanted SH4Style:

After making your changes, save the file, enable the mod and enjoy!

Long time ago I know, but this colour shipping chart caught my eye, and I wondered if it can still be used with the latest version of TDW UI mod 6.7?

Sure you game version is 1.2?

Rejenorst · 09-13-11, 07:22 PM

Installed the latest version of the mod. Thanks a lot for this! Am now looking for a good ship destruction mod

and am planning to use the more crew mod by Paris_England.

Rejenorst · 09-13-11, 11:01 PM

I have a small problem with time compression and the reporting of visual contacts. I am not sure if the problem is with SH5 or not but when I compress time while being surfaced the watch will sometimes not shout out visual contacts and I have had enemy warships appear within 30 meters of my sub when i unpause the game.

Just wondering if anyone has encountered this? thanks,
