[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[jcalonso]

Hi TDC!
I am upgrading from 4.8.0 with patch 2 to 4.9.0. Could you explain in detail how to use the OptionsMigrater app to migrate the old options file to the new one?
Thanks and best regards,
JC

Here's how one should use the app:

1. download new version of mod and unzip to desktop
2. disable old mod via JSGME
3. Open the OptionsMigrater app
4. Select File-->Open old options file and point it to the old options file
5. Select File-->Open new options file and point it to the new options file (located where you unzipped it on desktop)
6. Select File-->Migrate
7. Select File-->Exit
8. copy MODS folder from new version of mod to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder (thus overwriting previous version)
9. Enable via JSGME

anyone have any recommendations for new commands for the new tutorial feature? I've come across 3 while making a 'how to successfully torpedo attack merchants' tutorial:
- WaitMIVisible. This command will cause the tutorial to wait until the menu item specified is the specified visibility (0 = hidden, 1 = visible).
- SetMIVisibility. This command will set the associated menu item's visibility to the specified visibility (0 = hidden, 1 = visible)
- SetMICheckState. This command will set the associated menu item's check state (0 = not checked, 1 = checked)

These will be included in patch 1 for v4.9.0.

I'm also making Automation scripts able to call other automation scripts. Should be available in patch 1 for v4.9.0 also.

Any recommendations/suggestions/criticism/etc. is always welcomed

I guess if you look at it this way then yes, that would be the case.

I'm thinking the command is going to be PlayAutomationScript and one of the parameters is going to be the name of the automation script to start (play).

I'm also looking into adding globals and some very crude conditional tests (>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=, and possibly a goto style command) so that some form of branching can be implemented in the automation scripts.

Looking forward to some tutorials from you Trevally If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask

Hi again TDC!
After installing 490 i get this menu screen:

Clicking on the options (Clear, Apply,OK, Yes, No) has no effect whatsoever and if I try to continue or start a campaign, after a little time loading I get a CrashToDesktop (incompatibility between MODS perhaps?).
Here are the MODS I have activated:

Any ideas?

start game with admin rights (right click SH5 icon, select RunAs-->Administrator). Where did you install SH5 to? Program Files? What OS are you using? How did you install the new version? Did you overwrite the exisitng version or did you first delete the existing version then copy the new version's MODS folder to your \Silent Hunter 5 folder? Did you edit the options file?

I got the same exact screen and i have sh5 running as admin and i removed 270 and installed this version. I did edit the options file.sh5 is installed C/ubisoft

I have downloaded 4.9.0, but do not get the Tutorial info at the SH5 opening screen. Where is this 'OptionsMigrater' app that we are asked to open so this mod upgrade can be operational? Appreciate all the work you have given to this mod. Any help would be appreciated.

For those of you getting 'white boxes' or experiencing problems with the mod I need you to enable something so that any python errors will be displayed onscreen. Please edit your \Documents\SH5\data\cfg\main.cfg to look like below:

[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
MenuEditor=Yes
DebugScripts=Yes

save the changes made and restart the game. When it asks you if you want to start the menu editor say no. Now if there's a problem the game will display a dialog box onscreen to you denoting what the problem is. I'll need to know the information in that dialog box.

alt+tab is another (easier) way to cycle through opened applications
