My biggest problem ATM

[Fidgety]

Damn man, really dissapointed you told me it will break game.
I enabled all the mods in the dynamic mod and the game looks incredible compared to before.


I added the night mod yo0u suggested that i just downloaded and sat in harbour till nightfall.


well I took a screen shot to show but subsim makes you upload from 3rd party website so im not creating an account on tiny pic etc, but it looks pretty good so far.


Damn shame it will break game. Cant believe difference. Looks like 5 years advance in graphics quality from 2010.


I have onlyt sat in harbpour so far but I can see ships in 2k range, only im not sure if thats down to ambient light from surrounding environment. Will get to testing over next few hours.


Tnks man.

You were right, my game broke installing the full mod. I did it in a rush before reading your post. It modified some sound files and removing it with jsgm didnt fix it. The hydrophone went all sqreechy.


Nice fresh install I'm good with that. Can see how it goes from here.


Could I just ask to save me writing another thread ( I have already started 3 dont want to spam forum with noob questions), in TWOS mod, does it change decks awash to run on electric motors for realism?



After playing a few days I noticed going decks awash would make the watch crew go inside the Uboat and it would switch to electric motors. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen for realism or if I tried a mod that broke it. One of the loading screens tells you to do it to get a low shilohette and run on deisal motors, but it goes to electric for me.
Also, the boat seems to struggle getting past the 6m mark when asked. seems like a barrier. only when I click on the decks awash button I mean.


I noticed a patch for decks awash in the options file editor prog that comes with TWOS, but not sure if its related. Tnks for any advice in advance.

Just to get the picture right: On my system, the mod DynEnv v2.9 - Brighter Nights does plain nothing...neither in WoS nor in my personal modlist.

Not sure about your modlist but I can confirm that with TWoS, night brightens difference, with Gap's addon and without it, is quite visible... Discrete yes, but it's there.

I can confirm that it has improved my visability (at least on a fully cloudless clear night).


I missed this last night > "I dont understand what are you trying to say? TWoS is based on Gap's Dynamic Environment v2.9 mod"


You posted this link earlier in the thread...

Dynamic Environment SH5 v 2.9


I had no idea it was already in the TWOS mod, I had downloaded from that link over a week ago but never installed it because there was a mass of options to choose from.


Last night I installed all of it on top of TWOS through curiosity and after that the hydrophone went screechy.


If you say that Dynamic environment is already in TWOS, then how come last night when I added it to my mods, The game improved a lot? There was really nice light effects streaking out the sky and gave it a surreal feeling. Under water looked much improved also and had really nice plant life going on. The sea and waves looked nicer also.



Doesn't really matter anyhow I suppose the game is fixed for me now and After doing a full fresh install decks awash is working as expected. I'm not installing anymore mods im done lol thankfull to be playing with no major problems just little annoyances.
Tnks all.

Arrghh, I'm sorry. A stupid mistake from me, I forgot to revert the gamma before installing and using the mod. I will retry...I was in fact astonished

Of course not. While in deck awash, the boat still runs on diesel engines, your silhouette will be lower and this will have negative impact on enemy watch crews. There are some drawbacks due to game limitations. You wont be able to use binoculars for example, because the game will think that you are about to submerge.

This doesn't sound like normal TWoS behavior. Probably your game was broken due to additional unsupported mods or inadequate installation...

I dont understand what are you trying to say? TWoS is based on Gap's Dynamic Environment v2.9 mod , plus few more additional tweaks taken other available env mods and some my mods...

I really dont see what one can do in order do get better and more realistic (before everything else) environment than this...
