The Wolves of Steel 1.05\data\Scripts\Menu and select from there TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py and a screen with lots of tab will open
navigate to the UI Tab and from there u can change the style

i did excactly that but my GUI is the same.
I have buttons on the left for Submerge, Periscope depth etc.
I have Speed buttons on the bottom and i have half a compass in the bottom and when i click on it i get a real Compass.

but shouldn't SH3 be like every 3 things have a Dial?

To my knowledge and my experience, you need to deactivate the mods (TWoS and the patch); then, search OFEV and do the changes. After that, reactivate the mods. If you make the changes with the mods applied, OFEV don´t work.

I had the same issue when I changed to SH3 UI style, and doing the above procedure I obtained the new UI.

The latest version of TWoS has the SH5 UI as default.

Best regards and good luck!

I already thought about that since the py files are in the mods folder but I'm very careful before doing something on sh5.

How is the best way too do it? Does it matter to a started campaign or my savea when I deactivate and active it again

Run the game with the mods according the instructions. You will have the SH5 UI when on the boat. Exit the game. Then, go to JSGME and deactivate the mods. Search for OFEV (in applications in the mod folder) and do the changes you like (you can change a lot of things, included the UI style). Then, reactivate the mods with JSGME. That´s the trick.

If you did and undid with OFEV without deactivate the mods, I recommend you a full reinstallation of the game. Probably- due to your tests-the game is broken now.

Good luck!

Sure..Withing the modpack is contained an awesome TDW User Options File Editor Viewer application. Learn how to use this app and explore it's options. It is truly remarkable application and it offers to the player level of customization like in no previous SH title...How to use TDW Options File Editor Viewer with The Wolves of Steel Megamod

1. Make your changes in the editor, then save and overwrite the py-file.
2. Disable and re-enable the mods using JSGME, changes should now be activated.
3.You should be in the bunker to avoid CTDs, start a new patrol after changes.

Do not disable the mods first, as mentioned here. This will also disable the editor.

This is not necessary...

What do you mean by "disable the editor"?

When you disable the mod, it also includes the editor, as it is part of it. Another way to do it is to put the editor somewhere else before you disable the mod, as it is a stand-alone application.

I don't really understand what you are trying to say but TDW OFEV can be utilized both when mod is enabled and disabled... In my instructions I have described the use when mods are disabled which is the most accurate way according to app creator (TDW).

My preferred way is to use OFEV "in fly" directly from the main "data" folder without any mods disabling, but that is a different story...
