Are you using the mouse wheel to move the RAOBF

I tried using "no symbols no tails" mod but it didn't help.

Try Real Navigation

@Silent - with regard to which one to use, I just don't know. It was my impression that Stoianm's mods were to be applied over TheBeast's one, as if Equip Upgrades altered the layout, then Upgrades Available would have to have the same (edited) layout to make them cost no renown. I thought the stock version of UA was to revert to vanilla, and the FFOA versions for those who've used fistful of emblems.

I'll pop a post in TheBeast's thread and see if he can help us.

Just to return to this earlier question briefly - during my new Op Drumbeat campaign (using silentotto), the BOLD2 launcher showed up as available at the right date (end jan '42). So it looks like a fresh campaign using silentotto will activate Equip Upgrades properly, with everything showing up at the right date... maybe it's only when you continue through from one campaign to the next (Eg Happy Times > Mare Nostrum) that Equip Upgrades starts to fail.

Something in the campaigns themselves that's preventing it from working? Not sure. Thought it might be useful anyway.

- This can be tweaked, see below

- This is related to the dates in the default version so it's solved by tweaking as I tell below.

This is what I did. And it works so far.

File; Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast \Data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\UpgradePacks.upc

I here take the UpgradePack 2 as an example for comparison. Adjusted lines in yellow.

This is the default file that comes with the mod;

[UpgradePack 2]
ID= UpackUb7FUMO30Radar
NameDisplayable=Funkmessortungsgerat FuMO-30 GEMA
FunctionalType= UpFTypeSensorRadar
UpgradePackSlotType= UboatType7RadarAdvanced
Type=NULL
ImageIndex=15
;UpgradePackInterval=1939-12-01, 1945-08-01
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=1942-12-01, NULL, 1500 From left to right this stands for: Starting date, ending date (NULL = No end date), Renown cost (1500)
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions2=1943-06-01, NULL, 300 As you can see this is 'Options2' regarding availability dates. As this occurs later in the war this radar now isn't top of the line and has become cheaper (300)
IDLinkUpgradePackElements= EqpFumo30RadarApp, EqpFuMO30, NULL
Info=Configuration: one antenna (1,4 x 1 meter)|Field of view: 60 degrees|Wavelength: 82 cm|Range:8 km / surface vessels|15 km / aircraft
Notes=An improvement over the FuMO-29, the FuMO-30 is equipped with a rotatable and retractable antenna which can be manually turned by a hand wheel in the radio room.
TrackingID=602


This is my tweaked version;

[UpgradePack 2]
ID= UpackUb7FUMO30Radar
NameDisplayable=Funkmessortungsgerat FuMO-30 GEMA
FunctionalType= UpFTypeSensorRadar
UpgradePackSlotType= UboatType7RadarAdvanced
Type=NULL
ImageIndex=15
;UpgradePackInterval=1939-12-01, 1945-08-01
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL, NULL, 0
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=1939-01-01, NULL, 0 Here we just need one line so I deleted the second one and then I changed the starting date to 1939-01-01 and changed the renown cost to 0.
IDLinkUpgradePackElements= EqpFumo30RadarApp, EqpFuMO30, NULL
Info=Configuration: one antenna (1,4 x 1 meter)|Field of view: 60 degrees|Wavelength: 82 cm|Range:8 km / surface vessels|15 km / aircraft

Ok cheers Silent I'll give that a go, I guess if it's all there from the start and stays there (I still get the original start-of-war loadout options for the 7c on my 'progressed' campaign) then it's a partial win. SHame to lose the historical dates activation though. The thing to test is whether it continues to work when you end one campaign and progress to another.

You're probably right though, it's a promising line of thought. If the date difference in OHII somehow knocks the equipment calendar out of whack when moving to a new campaign, it would mean that to have proper access to upgrades, you'd have to start a fresh campaign each time, losing all your renown/crew upgrades/tonnage score etc (it might be worth checking to see if this happens with just the stock upgrades too).

This is basically what I've done with Op Drumbeat, and so far all upgrades are appearing normally. But I'm a bit miffed to lose my score and medals etc (I still have the save, of course). Hopefully the above will work, but if the problem isn't the dates listed for each equipment piece, but rather something in the transition between campaigns that's causing it, it might not make any difference.

Any thoughts on this Trevally? You know the campaign better than anyone here!

[Trevally.]

Upgrade packs are save here as well as in the main SH5 folder.
C:\Users\Owner\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\UserPlayerCo ntextGE

So any changes to UpgradePacks - should be made in the bunker and saved.
It is like when you change your gameoptions (no map contacts etc)

I do not think OHII has any effect on this.

Try
Save game in bunker and exit game
Apply thebeast equip mod 1.2 (download a fresh copy to be sure)
Load bunker save.

Remember about the bunker bug. If you cant speak to the upgrade officer - save/load game.

I've always tested with a bunker save in that manner, and have tried the save/install/load/save/load cycle before too I'm afraid, no luck. The Upgrade Pack file in the folder you mentioned looks like this:

[UpgradePack 26]
ID=UpackUbBold1
NameDisplayable=BOLD 1
FunctionalType=UpFTypeDecoy
Type=NULL
ImageIndex=18
UpgradePackSlotType=GerDecoyLauncher
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptionCurrent=19410101,1999 1231,300
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=19410101,19991231, 300
IDLinkUpgradePackElements=DecoyLaunchTube1
Info=Maximum launch depth: 75 m|Depletion time: 5 minutes|Foam surface: 250 sq. meters
Notes=This sonar decoy is a small metal canister measuring 10cm in diameter. It is filled with calcium hydride, which gives off large quantities of gas when mixed with sea water. To underwater locating devices such as sonar, the resulting bubble cloud could resemble a submerged U-boat.
TrackingID=801

Different date layout, but same dates, assuming 19991231 is the value given by NULL in the main file.

You mentioned before that you were speeding through the new campaign to test it, have you had access to the appropriately timed upgrades as you've progressed, or have you started a fresh one each time with Silentotto?

[Trevally.]

Hi Orpheus

It is good to bring this up so others can report or confirm errors with their equipment upgrades if using OHII with thebeast equip fix 1.2

I am still on happytimes and have a type 7b
I am getting the equip allowed to be installed on that boat
When I get a better boat - I will get more equip.
This is because I am using a cheat mod with the beast's mod

This sets all equip to 1939 and no cost points
DOWNLOAD Only use with thebeast equip1.2

- In my copy time format is YYYY-MM-DD with dashes
- That date, 1999-12-31, is the availability end date. As we don't need an end date this can (should?) be replaced by 'NULL'
- 300 is renown cost. Change it to whatever you want e.g. 0.

My lines look like this;

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptionCurrent= NULL,_NULL,_0
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=1939-12-01,_NULL,_0

I don't know if it's essential or not but I have spaces after the commas.

Ok Trevally, that's interesting and might validate Silent's idea of having it all available at the start making it available through all following campaigns (circumventing this mysterious calendar issue). Might be worth putting something in the OHII thread, see if anyone mentions the same problem.

@Silent - I suspect that's just an alternate output from the same file, just a different way of displaying the same info (one manual, one automatic), or maybe even the way the game translates manual dates into whatever's used by the calendar. I might try adding those values in the main file to see what happens.

[Lt_Werner]

I am confused with the TDW mod order. I did as TDW suggested in mod post. That means FX, NewUI TDW, IRAI, IRAI no hydrophone no aircraft spotting. But in some threads and one user and even TDW suggests IRAI, IRAI addon, FX , NewUI TDW. The problem is, I have now hydrophone contacts when surfaced. So something is not right with the suggestion. I am abit confused about the whole thing. Below is my mod order.
What is the correct mod order for TDW mods. Please help!

Accurate German Flags
Reboot's Water Drips 1.1

MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Alt faces
No Damn Bubbles, No Damn Halo Mod
Environment 5.0 MOD
Critical hits 1.1 Torpedos

NewUIs_TDC_6_8_0_ByTheDarkWraith
TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbances_v2_0_SH5
OPEN HORIZONS II_full v1.4
OH II Campaign Radio Messages v4

[Sartoris]

I keep asking myself the same thing! I'm simply not sure how in which order his mods should be installed. I hope TDW can give us some much-needed help.
