The main mod has what I call Automation. Automation is what allows others to write scripts for the mod to use. You can do many things with Automation, even write in-game tutorials

Patch 3 for v7.0.0 released. See post #1

Patch 3 fixes/adds the folllowing:
v7.0.1 - fixed bug of when hydro follow target activated from scope/UZO it was not taking sub's current heading into account
- added a new user option that controls how often the sonarman reports the selected contacts bearing via a log entry. Default time interval is every 300 seconds (5 mins). Specify 0 to disable this feature. Can be found under the Automatics tab. (HydroFollowContactUpdateInterval)
v7.0.2 - new user option added that specifies the delta bearing (in degrees) of the hydro follow contact. Once the change in the hydro contact's bearing over time exceeds this amount the sonarman will make a log entry denoting this. Specify 0.0 to disable. Default value is 0.0. Can be found under the Hydro follow target tab. (HydroFollowContactDeltaBearing)
v7.0.3 - added a new user option that defines the sweep range (+- in degrees) from the current hydrophone needle position for hydro follow nearest contact. Default value is 22.5. Max value is 45.0. Can be found under the Hydro follow target tab. (HydroFollowNearestContactSweepRange)
- added a new user option that defines the max range (in meters) a contact can be from player's sub in order to be considered for hydro follow nearest contact. Default value is 7500.0. Max value is 30000.0. Can be found under the Hydro follow target tab. (HydroFollowNearestContactMaxRange)
- add a new order to Sonarman's hydrophone order category: hydro follow nearest contact. It is only enabled when sitting in front of the hydrophone station. This is because you must position the hydrophone needle where you want him to check for contacts (in a sweep range defined by HydroFollowNearestContactSweepRange)

Everything I just did for the hydrophone I can do for the radar also

Going to add something to the mod that will allow you to change all these new hydro follow target values in-game. Deciding how I want to implement it currently.

Yes, anytime I release a patch it's cumulative (contains all the other patches)

[BIGREG]

I have not even had time to try without the new patches , you are too fast TDW

Finishing up v7.1.0 currently:


v7.1.0 - changed how the buttons for TDC dials, hydro follow target, and edit hydro follow target settings were laid out to be more aesthetically pleasing
- added a new button to the hydrophone station's notepad: edit hydro follow target settings. This will allow the user to adjust all the hydro follow target settings. Simply mouse into each setting and use mousewheel to adjust value. A tooltip will also be displayed when you mouse into a value telling you what that setting does

The buttons on the hydrophone station's notepad are (from left to right):
- edit hydro follow target settings
- hydro follow target
- TDC dials
- Send data to TDC

Hello Everybody ! I am Narlan, and glad to find a such big community for Silent Hunter. This is my first post on that Forum. I bought SH5 recently, knowing he was full of imperfections, but also knowing that a lot of people would make wonderfull mods to... do the job of Ubisoft^^, I was not wrong.

I subscribe here because I found no help in Google and I have not found a solution in that forum - that is a big topic... over 600 pages ='D.

Anyway, I have a bug... I am almost sure someone will know how to fix it, but me I don't. I tried every think. I have SH5 1.2, Generic Mod Enable 2.6.0.157, and I download the NewUI's 7.0.0 with the Patch3. I copy the French menu, because I'm French, but anyway there is that :

(I just put the link... the image is to big for that page.)

This is just with the main mod activated. I am on the bridge of the submarin because I felt of the deck... ... I did not use the teleportation, I just ... felt ^^. Of course, the windows in the center of the screen never move and do not disappear what ever I do, expept for the black window wich disappear when I use the navigation map.

Try again without the French menu

If that does not fix it - it could be a corrupt download. Remove mod and try a fresh downloaded one.

Have you edited anything in the options.py file? - sometimes that error (your image) can happen if it is edited and a mistake is made.

Thank you TDW, that looks great!

Just as Trevally said you might have a corrupted download or you tried editing the options file by hand (which is a no no). It could also be that you are not patched to v1.2 of the game. Run the game updater found in \Support\GameUpdater\gu.exe.

Another thing to try is to remove ALL mods except for the core UIs mod and see if you still have a problem or not.

Running the DbgView app found in \data\Applications before starting the game might shed some light on the problem also. If you have problems I'll need to see the full Dbgview output.

v7.1.0 released. See post #1

-Thank you for your answers-

Try again without the French menu

no, the first time I use that mod, I just download it, instaled it and tried with the default menu and setup. The result was the same. For the patch, I patch manually with 1.1 (66mb) then the 1.2 (81mb), because gu.ex did nothing at the first launch of the game. It did dl something but it was apparently not the patch because the manuals patchs did work, and now if I want to patch again to 1.2, it tells me I am allready patched.

So, I will dl again the mod, try again, then if it does not work, I will instal again the game (I have in case a Backup of the game), then patch it again and try again... etc. and we'll see.

re : I dl again, and my antivirus sent an alert against a .exe file in the archive. It did the same think the first time (with the 7.0.0) but that time I deleted the file. This time I didn't, and when I launch a new game, at the end of the loading, the game crash and I go back to Windows without any message of error.
