Need som help! With a mod.

[Panzerfaust79]

Sry if the post is in the wrong forums... But i think i did it right!

My issue.. My torpedos started to miss after a while.
So i heard about the issue with setting points to the torpedo man.
Looking in to the issue and found some mods.

Started with installing Generic mod enabler. Read the PDF and downloaded a mod that would fix this. Installed GME in the game folder, Created a map called mods in the SH5 directory with GME, Put the torpedo mod folder in that MODS map and enabled it. Started the game (had a savefile close to an engagement of a cargoship) tested but the torpedoes still misses.

Anyone know what i did wrong? As far as i know i didnt se any errors or so when i installed. It seemd to work.. Did i miss a step or two =)?

Doesn't sound right

You can make it really easy for yourself and use my Generic Patcher to patch out any torpedo abilities

Well.. checked the threads about this mod but nah... too confusing, There are files and to do things in the help threads thats not even in my zip... and so on.. Think i rather start a new game and dont give any points to the torpedoman.

My issue was how to get it to work, not make it harder to get it to work
If my first attemp with one singel modfolder did not work i have hard time to belive this will work either since it seem to use the same mod enabel thing... Thanks any way for fast replys! great

If you don't want to use mods and Generic Patcher (especially Patcher), you will never get this game to work .. it's broken..

Yea... i guess u are right there! Ofc i would love to get it to work. But well, im not god at this and as it is right now its to complicated for a noob that just want to buy the game, patch it and play. Point and klick to get it to work, more or less.
But u guys do a realy good work here. Thanks =)

Its not about what i dont want to use, Its about that i cant get it to work with one singel folder and then getting a tip to try it with a more complictade method (imho) Cant even find a up to date help file or thread :/

EDIT: Hey wait a sec... Think i might get the install thing now. Maybee... I gonna give it a try :P
EDIT2: Nope, did not work.. as i tought

Ofc you think so. 11 k post and u made the thing. Then its wery easy to say its a walk in the park.

EDIT:

At step 4 the files i supposed to open with generic dont even exist in that folder, they are in a extra folder called patches, that are not even mentioned in ur help thread, in other words, it wont look the same. Second, when i browes throu that folder with generic it still cant find the files. And yea, all i did was using the mouse. =D

So... am i supposed to move all files from subfolders in the unzipped folder in the main folder? As i said there are subfolders in the patcher were the files are located that are not mentioned in the help. When i tried to open "C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_112_0\Patches\SH5" with the program Generic patcher at step 4 i wont find any files. But the files are there..

Don't make things so hard. Backup all the .act files and the sh5.exe from \Silent Hunter 5 to a safe place.
Unzip my generic patcher to your desktop.
Open the folder.
Run the app.
Select language.
Click File-->Open
You'll have to specify the path to every file it needs the first time so select \Silent Hunter 5 folder
Let it install new sections and continue patching
Enables patches

It really is that easy!

Lol why did u not say so from the beginning
So i dont need to copy the folder to the MODS folder in SH5 and run it thru GME? Its realy what you wrote from the beginning, so im not the one who made it hard

And the files i was copying from SH5 dir to the generic folder, no need for that either? Acording to the "how to" thread its like SH5.exe and some other files...

[Panzerfaust79]

The game crashes to windows when i try to access the "map" in game... happend 3 times in a row now after the generic patch thingy.. <- thats my "not so supprised" face =D

I made the app so I think I know how it works

You are obviously having problems following the how-to method so I gave you a fool proof way of making it work

Ok... First of. Sorry if im beeing a ass here.
I realy tried to behave. But its realy hard when i dont get it to work, Im frustated I Did follow the step by step help in the forum, but as i said, It dont seem to be up to date, There are files that are located in a folder thats not mentioned in the step by step thing. Thats a fact, u realy did a great job by doing this, i mean that: but still... Im not the one to blame if the reality wont match up to the old help thread, realy. Its easy for u to point me out as some kind of idiot that cant use a mouse when u made the program. Right? But still, It dont look the same as on ur screens and so.. Anywhay.. Whith that said...

Game crashes when i try to acess the map. When i run the Generic thing agin, I see a yellow warning sign at the map thing in the patch list, I guess there something wrong there? I cant enable it, it says something about clours, When i click on the colour thing and choose one i still cant enable it..

Disable all the render patches you enabled.

I'm not trying to single you out as an idiot. I'm trying to help you.

The yellow triangles for the map colors are ok. Don't worry about it. Yellow triangle means caution could be a problem. A bomb sign means game will surely crash because not everything the patch requires is enabled (could be it requires patches in other files to be enabled - see the Dependencies= node).

If you want to change map colors double click on the IsColor node (if it says True). That will open a color select window where you can select the color wanted.

The app is a modern windows app that uses context menus. Right click on entries/nodes to see options available. Place mouse cursor over entries/nodes to get tooltip window to show.
