Well, there shouldn't be any mysteries here IMO. If we have installed the game/mod correctly, our flags should behave exactly the same, which isn't the case here as far as I can tell. If nothing else, I learned so far that most of the "mysteries" are caused by faulty mod installation and/or incompatible mods...


Try to restore TWoS Generic Patcher snapshot again and observe if anything will change in your game...

Done. I've also reloaded the mission from backup. Unfortunately no changes, the flag continues to behave in the same way as before. ( I have not any mod enabled, TWoS only )

Can you upload your patcher snapshot so I'll try with it?

You should already have my snapshot in "Silent Hunter 5\TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0\Snapshots\TWoS 2.2_Snapshot.gps"

Ok so that's the exact one I have used

One more thing is bothering me and I really can not find any other explanation except that something have indeed went wrong during your Generic Patcher activation...

1. You've edited map tool colors even though they are already set to "full black" for better visibility in TWoS, by default (through the provided shnapshot) ?
2. IIRC, you were talking something in one of the other threads that your manual diveplanes aren't working while submerged, or something like that? Forgive me if that was someone else...

All those these stuff are controlled by the Generic Patcher and that's why I strongly suspect that something went wrong there. We must make sure to sort this out before you continue with your modding since GP part is very important for the game...

Reply to 1: Even before editing and with a fresh TWos install ( TWoS+Update ) I never have them set on black but on grey ( or similar ). What i mean is that from day one they were faint, no black colour by default. To install TWoS I've followed the instructions step by step ( also because the file are self installing so it becomes quite hard making something wrong , I presume)

Reply to 2: At the end I found what was causing the problem or rather, at least here, even with a vanilla TWoS install they do not work in single missions ( Historical ). In the campaign instead the work as per normal. Again this was so from day 1 of the TWoS installation when any files were edited/modified. As I've said before, it's from day one of the installation ( and I've also made a new fresh install just to be sure ), that single missions sometimes seems to act in a odd way with certain features that do not work in them while instead in the campaign missions everything have always run smooth as silk ( Never had a crash or any kind of problems from day 1 to now ). For some reasons I am not yet been able to pinpoint ( until now I was thinking that maybe this was normal ) even with a totaly fresh install of TWoS certain things act in an odd way in single missions.

As you know the installation procedure of TWoS is automated so I think it's quite hard to do something wrong...I am guessing a thing...Maybe it could be something that have to do that I use a Steam version of the game? ( As said just a guess )

A pleasure...

Yesterday my mouse went crazy ( I've aleady changed it ) and it auto deleted some files ( I have the edited copies of them but not the original ones ) so I would like to request if someone can gently do/upload the following things:

I need an original TWoS copy of these files:

- FastNoS.dds ( Located in Menu/Gui/Layout )

- Hud3OrderIcons.dds ( Located in Menu/Gui/Layout )

- Torp.dds ( Located in Menu/Gui/Units )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


- When I've installed TWoS I have deleted the file about the Tipperary song ( The one played by the Russian orchestra ) that if I remember correctly was located in Data/Sound/Music ( and I forgot to make a backup of it at that time ). About this file I neeed only these two things:

- The confirmation that the file is really located in the folder indicated above

- If yes the name of the original file ( I have already a copy of the file I will just rename it correctly )

Thanks in advance!

Do you use some antivirus program which could silently prevent your sh5.exe file from necessary Generic Patcher modification? Can you post few screenshots of your Generic Patcher window with few opened subsections?


Also, please perform a quick test. Dive to any depth in any mission and command "ahead standard" for example . Does your main speed indicator always stays one step behind compared to the selected speed? Throw a few screenshots of this as well...
