What would this forum be without her understanding of your dedication to SH5 and the scope of your work? Please forward our gratitude (I'm sure I speak for all of us around here) to your understanding wife Fiona for all her patience with all those hours you're giving this forum that she has to put up with. This forum (and SH5) wouldn't be the same without you and her. |

This issue is an odd one and normally fixed when user switches to 7.zip to extract mods. Just to check can you start again and download from here the version that matches your OS http://www.7-zip.org/ Then install that download. next right click on OHII downloaded file and select extract here Hope it works this time |

Hi thanks, for the response.
Yes, I have installed 7-zip for 64 bit (and am using 64bit OS!). I removed 7-Zip and all OH zipped files and downloaded both afresh. I get the same message. All the other MODS have been fine, and I can select them in zipped form and view archive as well. It is clearly working for others so I don't know what I'm doing wrong? - Download (scan for virus) and install 7-zip for 64 - Download OH 2.5 - using Mozilla this goes direct to my downloads folder. - Normally I then scan it with Avira, (after the first couple of attempts I haven't bothered to rescan I'm using the link from the thread), - Then I 'extract files' to the MODS folder within SH5, however as I'm in the process of getting Sobers' megamod installed, I'm simply saving to a file on my desktop called 'MODS' and then plan to play the tutorial, shift all the MODS into the MOD folder in SH5 and install with JGSME. I get the archive problem whether extracting files or using the open archive option which for all other mods shows the folders within; I don't normally touch this 'open archive', I was just trying things out when it wasn't working. If I can't get 2.5 to work, is there a download link for 2.4 and the fix patch for it? I've spent some time searching for these but couldn't find them ( I get redirected to 2.5) or the one random web location I did find for 2.4 gave a virus warning when I clicked on it so I left it alone. It may be worth mentioning I had OHII 2.2 sucessfully installed before, but not 2.4. I actually bought SH5 a second time on disc because I had the steam version ,....oooo the frustration; makes me want to give it a d4mn good thrashing! |

for Russian-speaking members of the community -
There are a lot of text changes in the OHII v2.5, so translate work require a few days.. when the work will be done the link for the Russian translation will be placed in the post #1 as always.. Thank you Trevally for your great work ---------------------------------- для русскоязычных членов сообщества - В новой версии OHII v2.5 много текстовых изменений, поэтому перевод потребует нескольких дней.. когда работа будет закончена ссылка на русский перевод будет размещена в посте #1, как всегда.. Спасибо Trevally за твою великолепную работу

Trevally, you are a gentlemen and a scholar! I've yet to play the tutorial and then install the mods, but that is a completely different kettle of fish, and should hopefully be more straightforward than this bizarre problem I was having. Thanks for the assistance. |

Volodya had an interesting suggestion of what may have been wrong. Sometimes downloading large files can get broken due to slowing connection etc - this can then result in your download being short. Check the size of your download that did not work and make sure that it is the full file (140mb ish) |

Try to use download accelerator programs that have a built-in resume feature, too. One example is download accelerator plus by speedbit.com and down them all extension if you use Firefox.

Hi again,
I've got it all up and running, tutorial done, mods installed and I'm off out into the bay of Danzig with a beautiful camo-paintjob . So thanks not only for the development work but also the IT support! I did notice that the files I had downloaded previously were of slight difference sizes, very small differences but still slightly different. All 144,xxx KB though? As far as I'm aware I have good internet connections on the whole. Anyway, I'm hoping that's it for IT goblins. PS. I'm liking the real navigation MOD (by TDW) included in the Sobers list which I was following, it isn't as daunting as I had thought; looking forward to getting lost in fog though... Thanks again. |

Just a quick question..
I am currently playing through Mare Nostrum based at La Spezia.. It's April 17'th 1941, and I still haven't received a choice of upgrading my boat to a Type VIIC.. When should I expect to be able to upgrade? |
