Would be nice to know where you can change this, it would simply be changing the order in which the meters are given. The soundfiles are already there. Currently he says „und fünfzig | zwei“ it needs to be „zwei | und fünfzig“.

Is this happening in stock game? IIRC this has been fixed long time ago, though I can't remember which commonly used mod fixed it

Each U-boat model featured in game has its own set of textures. U-boat coating/camo textures have the same names as standard skins but with the addition of a suffix. In order to know which suffix is used by each camo scheme, using Goblin Editor open the following file...

Silent Hunter 5\data\Objects\Sensors\coatings.GR2

...merge coatings.sim into the project and in the Project Tree expand each AntiSensorCoating controller to see its parameters.

I hope that answers your doubts. If not, don't hesitate asking for further clarifications

Thanks, I'll try it out!

The snorkel is located where the player would stand on the turret, so it would be nice if it was moved maybe a foot or two (around half a meter) backwards, so you don‘t clip into it all the time.

I think you mean the telescopic snorkel. That model is not historically correct for Type VII U-boats featured in game. Type VII conning towers were to small to accomodate that snorkel type. If you are using TWoS or the Reworked Equipments Mod (REM), the more appropriate hinged snorkel should become available at the correct time frame as a selectable U-boat upgrade.

Using the GR2 Editor that I pointed you to, it should be possible moving backwards the bone that the hinged snorkel gets linked to, though it is possible that by doing that some other item also linked to the same bone becomes misplaced. If that was true, you should duplicate the bone, move the duplicated bone backwards, rename it, and change the U-boat eqp/upgrade files to point to the new bone

I am using SH5 German with the latest TWoS.
Only some personal sound changes to the engine and music on the radio.
Nothing that would mess up these sound files or whatever config is controlling it.

I don't see an option to export any meshes, I can only save it as another GR2.


EDIT: Nevermind, I got it.

Okay, so it wasn't fixed. I think thin s problem should be fixable, though I need to have a look into crew dialog scripts. In the meanwhile you could also report the bug in the TWoS issue thread.

BTW, is the problem only appearing with numbers composed by "fünfzig" plus something else, or it also happens with "zwanzig", "dreißig", "vierlig", etc?

It is not that complicated after all

Any way of adding Lock gates at the Kiel canal entry points? That would be cool! Living Silent Hunter had them, and I wonder how difficult it would be to transfer over to SH5?

That's something I want to look into for the EcoMod, hopefully with Jeff's help

Any way to lower the brightness of the stopwatch face? I’m not talking the torpedo tuner face but the regular clock face. It’s really bright at night. If it had the same contrast as the timer it would be perfect.

While we are at it how about the message box in the lower right. It blinds at night and I don’t want to just hit L to get rid of it.
