This is the file moded by Obelix for the AI type2 sub and as far as I know is not compatible with TDW UI. OH2 should be installed last, will do no harm to other mods.

When you compare these files you can see a very slight diff in one line.
Im pretty sure this will not effect the mod.

Obelix - edited with goblin (panther not sure what this is)
TDW - edited with hex editor

Perhaps either Obelix or TDW can clear this up - but im sure this will not matter.

[Trevally.]

For people who use TDWs mods (I am one) we know how often he updates them.
For mod lists it is important that we try and get OH II near the top of the mod list.
We do not want to be installing/un-installing this mod every time TDW updates

If you save the game and load it, the flags will most likely work again.

I have seen the draft issue too in previous test version of the mod. This seems to be a random bug too.

I've saved and reloaded the mission when exiting Wilhelmshafen, but the Norwegian flag on two merchants (one behind, the other at opposite quay of Deutschland pocket battleship) remains stiff as ever. So saving and reloading unfortunately doesn't help.
The draft issue, however, seems gone now, after slightly changing mod loading order and saving & reloading. I have OH2 now last after any TDW stuff.

I'm getting 20 fps which drops as low as 10fps near the kiel minefield. I tried everything i know to increase framerates but nothing has ANY effect whatsover which seems a little odd. Dropping graphics options to minimum has NO effect, reducing my mod soup to a minimum had no effect either.

I am running an I7 mb quad-core at 4 ghz with an Nvidia GTX 480 1.5 gig card....not the worst system in the world...should i be getting such bad performance?

replacing the OHII full file with the lite version fixes these issues but i'd really like to be able to see all the new eye-candy.

has anyone got any suggestions? or is my system just not good enough?

The following is my current soup (with the light version) but it seems having read the latest posts that my mod order is incorrect regarding TDW's mods....strange as it seems to run fine

I also noticed some strange issues (perhaps related to incorrect mod order?) the ship draft issue others have reported and also a couple of ships were upended and rotating in kiel harbour, gradually destroying themselves.

I too think the minefield in keil is perhaps overdone, especially considering all the fps-killing marking buoys demarking the field's extremities.

For those of you running it with no fps problems, can we see your system specs and mod list? might help others sort out their problems?

After enabling 'Open Horizons II Light' adding a few mods I get a crash to desktop every time I press the 'P' key

Edit: pressing the p key when inside the boat causes the crash if im on deck its okay. Im going to disable all mods and look for the correct way of adding them I figure I got some conflict that's causing it, though I have no idea what mod it would be. Never had the P key CTD before.

There are a few mods that change keys in your list.
Have you tried with the churchs keys?

Edit: sorry I ment to type "without churchs keys"

Yes Ive tried with the church keys, still get the crash.

I see there is a 6.6.0 New UI Im running 6.5.1 so going to update that don't know if that will help but better to have the latest UI.

Edit: Fixed.

I add the MCCD & MFCM Optional Crashdive workaround this must fix the P key CTD or rather as once I added this the CTD stopped.

you shouldnt add any keyb. mods (commands.cfg) after SDBSM, you will loose much of SDBSM features, SDBSM allready includes a Church Keyb mod...

This file modifies the equipment of the boat. If you use a version of TDW, the boat will go to the IIA raised periscopes.
FX file removes exhaust fumes, because the original can not I remove the smoke levitating.
Now I try to bring IIA in perfect order, but lack of time slows down the process.

[THE_MASK]

So we can see from this that the correct mod order should be:-

TDW FX
OH II
TDW IRAI
TDW Water
TDW UI

The important one is that the FX mod is before OH II

Where there is 2 files the same and I have said "NO conflict" this means they are the same file (merged)

If anyone can see any conflicts I have not noticed - please post[/QUOTE]If i put the mods in this order then open the mission editor to check it has a warning that unit class KMSSHogisland not found in platform library .

My files are not in conflict with TDW. IIA AI is located in a separate folder - NSS_Uboat2a_AI. Today, OH II second (after AVCv2) mod having this folder.

Hi Guys !

Now I´m really confused, sorry !!!

On first post of this Thread is this written:

"...The mod is compatible with TDW UI, install last..."

Means OH II install A-f-t-e-r UI MOD !

Yesterday sober answers to my question about the correct order, that I OH II enable A-f-t-e-r ALL TDW MODs:

http://174.123.69.202/~subsimc/radio...&postcount=665

NOW in the list from sober´s post from above we should OH II enable after FX_Update MOD, but b-e-f-o-r-e the other MODs from TDW ???

Please, what then is definitely the correct order ?????????

Best regards,
Magic

Terve taas! Ja kiva nähdä että pyörit vielä foorumilla!

The flag issue is nasty bug, I've been starting to wonder why I have never seen German flags freeze, eventhough the starting harbours are full of imported NAMC ships. I have one idea that I'll try when I have time.

The weird FPS loss that I have encountered in harbour is a weird one too. But today when I tested the mod again, it was for some reason much much better, almost no loss at all. This time I played with no map contacts, could it affect the FPS

One little thing that bothers me now is that the sonar man can pick up mines now. At first I thought that it wouldn't matter, but soon realised that most of my contacts are infact minefields. I wonder what would happen if the mines would be only spottable by watch crew. Would diving be too risky business, with no way of getting any info on the mines? What was the real situation, could a sonar man somehow pick up a mine contact?

Anyway, otherwise I'm starting to really like this mod. Just to see airplanes flying over my base is awesome!

[U2222]

There are two types of sonar.
Active sonar sends sound out and listens for echo's coming back.
Passive sonar only listens for sound.
As it was passive sonar used by u-boats in WW2, and mines do not emit sound, they could not be detected by sonar
