I did the changes in main.cfg but when I right click on the SHV taskbar when it's running I only see the standard window controls (restore, maximize, that sort of thing). Running Windows7 here.

which main.cfg did you edit?

You need to do it in the one in your \My Documents\SH5\ folder.. not in the main game path.

Doh!

Yes that was it, thanks Gutted, it's working now.

gutted · 03-01-10, 10:41 PM

Cool... now make an awesome mod

Marko_Ramius · 03-02-10, 04:58 AM

This sound so promising

Few days ago, i said that i was not going to buy the game, because of DRM (and my poor internet connection). But more i see/read about SH5, more i think i will buy it ..

Thanks Devs

Some outstanding modding capabilities here... this could possibly be the subsimming plataform of our dreams. We just need to join our efforts and make it possible.

And DRM shouldn't be an obstacle. Not anymore.

Cheers

Now it looks not we buy a subsim game.... we buy a subsime engine and maybe we could make the Sim of our dreams...

Just look at what modders did for the Oblivion game. Unbelievable mods due to the wonderful editor they included.

gutted · 03-02-10, 05:56 PM

The menu editor is abit confusing.

Looking through it i see all sorts of stuff in the menu pages thats not in-game.

etheberge · 03-02-10, 09:33 PM

Did anyone figure out all the keyboard shortcuts for the Object Placement editor yet?

I couldn't figure out how to lower/raise an object, or even how to easily position them with the mouse.

Took me abit to realize that's what it was showing.

This doesn't work on Windows 7 because of the new QuickLaunch Taskbar thingie.

Even RightClick and then Shift RightClick doesn't work. We need a different solution. I'm not going back to Vista

karamazovnew · 03-04-10, 06:12 AM

YEEES, found a way! All W7 users listen up.

Open the Menu Editor and right click on the window top. You'll get a menu that allows you to open any of the tools

piri_reis · 03-04-10, 07:32 AM

It's weird, Menu editor, Script Manager and AI debugger works but the terrain geometry and object editors will not open..

blechritter · 03-05-10, 04:52 AM

Thanks! As Win 7 user I was at a loss.

But does anyone know already the names of all the waypoints on the u-boat?

I really would like to implemet a crash dive strategy which resembles the action of the trailer

Thanks in advance
