Diving in (hehe)

The pretty eye candy and my faith in certain modders finally drew me in, bought SH5 last night and I'm going to start working on getting Sober's mod list installed this evening.

Coming from SH4 (RFB + RSRDC then OM) and SH3 GWX.

Wish me luck getting this all running.

ROFL: So since the last post, I've only just managed to get the game working with Sobers mod list, or at least gotten to play one of Trevally's tutorials, haven't started a career yet.

Truthfully, I got it all done once, then the game wouldn't load, deleted, uninstalled, reinstalled, repatched, remodded and generally went insane from sheer frustration, adjusted the living heck out my laptop including learning some new stuff (20 year IT professional) to get it playable (I7, 8GB, Nvidia 7730m, so it should be able to play the game OK).

However, as far as I can tell, it is now playable and truthfully it is a really good looking game with a great mod set from what I've seen.

Going to run every tutorial I can find and see how it plays!

Given how crazy it is to get it all modded and working, I now have an insane amount of respect for a bunch of modders who's names I don't want to list for fear of leaving someone out who deserves a thank you.

Hi Singed,

I'm just starting up with SH5 as well, but I seem to be having some trouble figuring things out. Any help for the newbie would be appreciated.

I thought I would start with some of the historical missions and just get a feel for the interface without actually trying to achieve much.

First, I can't figure out how to dive the boat. I hit the 'crash dive' key but the watch just stands around and the game tells me that I can't dive because the crew is still on deck. How do I tell the crew to get below? I read through the rather brief manual and there was nothing I could find about this.

Also, is there a tutorial mission? I've checked the list of historical missions and there is nothing there marked tutorial. I've seen a tutorial mission mentioned elsewhere on the boards but can't seem to find it.

Is there any way to get rid of that 'uplay' thing and start the game directly without going through 'uplay'?

Thanks.
