The Complete Idiots Guide to Goblin Editor(large image warning)

[divingbluefrog]

Another glicht I just point out, and didn't find any clue in threads.
I open Waipoints_Room_TRF.gr2, then I merge Waipoints_Room_TRF.chr.
Then I doubleclick on the sapiens@TRF_LOAD01 controller.
The Editor Behavior opens. I select Render/Sapiens.
I get the controller descriptions. In Job setting I'm supposed to be abble to choose one in all the defined jobs, but when I click in the far right edge of the box, on the \/ icone, I get a flickering menu on the top left corner of my screen that instantly disappears.
The only way to see the different jobs available, is to select another setting, click in the value box of job setting and use the roll button of my mouse to make them scroll. As currently there are 55 of them, it's quite annoying.

Does anybody have a solution?

I keep getting this when I try to edit the effects on guns.


That's just an example.
I am trying to get the StarShell effect to go with the Uboat DeckGun Starshell Ammo type.
I had it once about 6 months ago, but it caused all the AA rounds to be star shells, and that caused massive lag.

I was wondering, how the hell am I supposed to know this worked? I edit the files, but it seems like in game it does nothing... :/

Rvg5! belatedly, forgive our manners and keep asking away!

In general, Goblin Editor runs on Windows 8-based systems as well as on Win7, Vista or XP. There is a couple of visual glitches though that might render the program unusable for some. Here are the

• Getting rid of blurred/truncated text and incorrectly sized UI elements:
  
  • right-click on GoblinEditorApp.exe;
  • from the subsequent contextual menu, choose 'Properties';
  • in 'Properties' window, go to the 'Compatibility' tab;
  • in the 'Settings' section, select 'Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings', and then click OK.
  
  
• Getting rid of flickering drop-down menus:
  This issue first appeared with Vista. In Vista/Win7, there was an option on the Compatibility tab called 'Disable Visual Themes', which solved the problem. This flag is still supported by Windows 8, but it has disappeared from the Compatibility tab, and we got to set it manually. Let's see how:
  
  • click WinKey+R to open the command prompt;
  • in the 'Run' dialog box, type regedit.exe and click enter to run Window's Registry Editor;
  • when you are asked if you want to modify your computer, click 'yes';
  • from the following tree view on the left, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
  • once there, click with the right mouse button in the window on the right of the tree view, ans select 'New' > 'String';
  • name of the string must be the full path to Goblin Editor; normally: "C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\GoblinEditorApp.exe", for the non-Steam version of the game. If you entered the wrong name, you can right-click on the new string, and select 'Rename';
  • once you have done with the name, right-click on the new string and select 'Edit';
  • in the 'Valuedata' field enter "~^ DISABLETHEMES DISABLEDWM" (without double quotes);
  • exit Registry Editor and start using Goblin Editor

Do I allow the Goblin Editor to access the internet when my Windows 7 firewall comes up?

What does it need access for on the internet?

Hello to all fans of the game! Does anyone know of note! If possible, it is impossible if my editor Goblineditor indicate steps how to change the time recharge guns and anti-aircraft guns? Editor goblin I started, but there are many different options. For some reason I can not open files with the extension "sim". Someone changed the recharge time and it is in this editor is it done? Thank you in advance. Sincerely.

Hello,
I'm probably an idiot but Goblin Editor doesn't work for me.

I have set directory.


But I have all the time this type of error. For ship, submarine, objects…


Do you have solution for this ? I have W10, I try on clean install of SH5 (Uplay Version and Steam Version), but you see the result.

Thanks for all.
