Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast

If you'd like to run the Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast you need
not only the 'fix' but also the 'stock file'

Go here; http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3034

and download the package.

Hey TDW or someone out there which files control the special abilities for the main crew I would like to have them at the levels where I maxed out the passive and non passive abilities. Also where is the file to change the sub's speed i can never catch up the the warship. Thanks in advance.

Id like to get back to Silent Hunter 5. Havent played it much because of the reasons you guys all know too well.

Anyway. Is Open Horizons + OM(patch2) a good start? Are these compatible?

I ask because all mods list I see are longer than a hard year. Id like to start with something manageable.

Yes they are. I recommend to have a look at Stoianm's Y-Tube tutorial 'How to install and use MO with/or NewUI', it contains the shortest list of nessesary mods for the beginning
As for OHII: full version is not fixed finally and in beta-testing process), light version is quite stable at the moment (see the instant thread)

Having some issues. After a complete re-install of the game, and some (obviously failed) attempts at re-arranging my mod soup to accomodate the stuff I think I want, I now have this:

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast
stoianm upgrade available mod

Problem is, none of the UI stuff from TDW that was working in my prior install works, none of the automation is available, everything still has halos, footsteps sound like tap dancing, and equipment both costs renown (logos and camo anyway, though I'd actually not mind having to buy the stuff, I just want the realistic equipment options) and realisitic/period upgrades are not available.

On the plus side, I'm not seeing the UbiSoft logo, and and the torpedo skins seem to be in place.

I copied the AntiLag files where it said to, but did not try to put it in JSGME? I also have no idea what I'm supposed to do with the nVidia broken lights folder? Several mods have created folders in my C:\UbiSoft\Silent Hunter 5\ directory, including MCCD, nVidia, "Shadows" and the stoianm upgrade... am I supposed to be moving these somewhere else or doing something with them?

I'm sure I'm missing a ton of configuration options in TDW's stuff too that I should be toying with, but frankly, looking through all these threads the last few days, I'm still as confused as ever about; the integration between MO and TDW's New UI's (if any); what I should be editing or files I should be moving; and whether the MO patch is enabled in JGSME along with 0.0.1, or if I'm supposed to be copying its contents into 0.0.1's directory...? I know I must be missing some things too... I don't want the game ultra-realistic yet, but I do want things like the FX mod that I take it should also be being loaded by JGSME and is not inherent with the MO installation?

To compound all of this, there are some things I'm expecting to see that I'm not probably because I borked how I did it the first time. I had a number of things the way I liked, but I realized I'd installed many of them while not at port and was starting to get CTD's after I found and tried to install MO on top of it all (tho I DID do that in port). In any event, I elected to uninstall and reinstall anew, and am starting a completely new campaign (wiped old saves and everything), but as you can see from the above, am still missing something. Can anyone offer any advice please? I will still continue to work at it myself, but I figured I'd better post here now before I got frustrated so I can wait for replies while I work at it.

Edit: just moved some directories around... haven't tried combing the two MO folders out of fear.

Yes? No? Maybe

If this isn't the right place for this (I did look and didn't see a better place), my apologies: I'll be happy to create a new thread if that would be better.

Thanks!

[TheDarkWraith]

for each mod you have in your MODS folder:
- open up the folder of the mod
- if the next folder doesn't contain a folder named DATA the mod isn't installed correctly in the MODS folder

[Siege]

Ok, checking that I see where I had a few problems anyway that I'm working to correct now. I still don't see anywhere the proper application of MO... What's the difference between v0_0_1 and 0_0_1? What exactly am I supposed to do with the patch? Sorry if I'm dense, but I don't see any explicit directions for it anywhere.

V0_0_1 and 0_0_1 are the same thing (they are describing the version of the mod). Now as far as the patch goes you can either:
- enable it via JSGME after MO v0_0_1 or
- copy it to the MO mod (in the MODS folder) letting it overwrite all necessary files (recommended). Ensure it isn't enabled in JSGME before doing this.

[Siege]

Thank you very much. I was clearly being a little too literal with handling the files and not digging into the zips to see where there might be multiple instances of single mod. Still not sure about my soup, but I've got a good bit of cooking left to do, will update with my list when I'm closer to done.

Also, thanks for the MO tip, I think it's working now.

[vlad29]

@ SIEGE
'RemoveLogoIntro' is included in MO, so there is no need to apply it
stoianm upgrade available mod compatible a fistfull of emblems&Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_0_byTheBeast - no need to install without 'Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_0_byTheBeast'-mod applied
stoianm upgrade available mod compatible a fistfull of emblems&Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast - is just a next version of the previus mod, can be used without ver.1 if 'Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast' is installed.

[Siege]

Thank's Vlad!

Ok, so I've rebuilt everything, and after much checking for what I need to try and make TheBeasts equipment upgrades work (never did get a clear picture), below follows my soup output verbatim from JSGME (MO is of course patched):

Take three... largely seems to be working, though: in Total Germany I have no extra equipment from TheBeast's E.U. pack for the boat at all... should I? Camo and emblems are available to equip, but...

Camo and emblems don't seem to be showing on the ship from the external view.

Frame rate standing on the conning tower or looking through the scope has dropped to a slide-show sometimes, but not others...

>8 times out of 10, the Harbor Pilot script crashes into a wall. The other ~1 time it hits a ship in the canal unless I watch it like a hawk at no more than TC64. I've only ever succesfully used it to get out once (the very first time I used it, ironically), and I never did manage to get all the way back IN to Kiel with it.

[mia389]

I just got back into SH5 after a long long break. I started out with a few mods and loving it so far. I have a feeling some of the mods I have, might not be needed as MO might have them. I do get CTDs when time compressing sometimes. I do not know what is causing my ctd issue. I would like to run OH but I get even more CTDs with that. My system specs listed below

Mia: I have all those except for Air Torpedoes, TDW Mines and the Lite Campaign and even my TC1024 works fine most of the time.

I think you might need to have the Lite Campaign either before or just after Magnum Opus? I'm pretty sure it needs to come before, but I'm a newb, so I'm not able to say this with any certainty.

I need to get back to port and add that Lite Campaign to my soup tho, for sure.
