Sorry, but for the Options file Editor,

I just set my default SH5 install directory, but which menu.txt am I linking the app to?

the one in the mod's \data\Menu folder (do not use the stock sh5 one!)

I see that a snorkel is included in some files. How does one gain access to that? Is that via TheBeasts mod? Or is it included in this mod?

Sorry for so many questions.

Questions are fine

You gain access to the snorkel by enabling it via the options editor/viewer. There is a tab I believe called Snorkel?

I can fire up the app if need be.

A snorkel is included with this mod (telescopic one). TheBeast tried (or may have got working) the pivoting one. I don't know as I never tried his.

Hmm I can't seem to find it along the upper tabs.

It's the first tab called Submarine:

Double click the False to enable it

Excellent! Thank you. Will the be available immediately or must we wait to buy them/gain access to them?

I'm assuming you are referring to the snorkel. It will be available immediately if you enable it. You can change the date that it is available by editing the sub's .eqp file

Cheers! Does it act as a periscope in that, once I reach snorkel depth I need to deploy it? Or does it automatically deploy (ala Radio Mast) when I reach a certain depth?

You have to raise/lower it manually. Done via the Engineer officer (the first officer icon).

If you install my CO2 patch (via the patcher) your CO2 will not increase when submerged with snorkel raised

If you don't install the patch then CO2 will increase even though snorkel is raised (stock game bug)

Ok, I have not tried the patcher yet, for some reason I still kind of worry I will mess something up. However, I will try it when I return from patrol!

Make a backup of any file that you are going to patch. I'd just make a backup copy of your root \Silent Hunter 5 folder that way you have everything covered.

Using the patcher couldn't be any simpler. It's nearly impossible to screw up the files due to the way that I designed the patcher to work

OK

,

Just wondering, I'm looking for the .exe file to show, however when I naviguate to Users/Computer/Ubisoft/SH5, it doesn't show a .exe file, just more folders. I designate the SH5 folder as the path though

2.

Click on File/Open/TDW_SH5_Patches.s5p

3.

Then it automatically takes to another window. Click on SH5.exe

4.

Click on + sign next to Broken Hydophone fix. Then + sign next to change 1. Then double click on the red disable to make it enabled.

5.

Next you click on + sign next to map colors. Changes 1-15 you can customize your colors. Read the description to see what your changing. First you double click on the IsColor in red and it brings up the color box like the picture. Pick your color.

6.

Next click on Enabled False to make it true. I think another box comes up asking to accept changes. Click yes.

7. When done making all your changes just click on File exit.

Sorry but pics are down for this btw.

That's not the path to your sh5.exe. Press Start button in windows and type sh5.exe in the box and press enter. It will search for the sh5.exe. Once it finds it right click on it and select properties. Now you'll know the path to your sh5.exe
