I'm having some difficulty understanding how to install this great mod???

Where is the FileEditorViewer.exe.?

DO I have to drop the mod folders into the "MODS" JSGME Folder then activate the mod before the FileEditorViewer.exe. becomes available?

Related to the above:
How do you switch UI's?

Do all of the folders in this mod need to be added and activated via JSGME?

THANKS!

After installing the UI, it is here C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Applications\OptionsFileEditorViewer

When you unzip the download - open it up and look inside the MODS folder.
Copy this - NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith and paste it into your SH5 MODS folder.
Then install with jsgme

This is done with the editor.
Uninstall - NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith and run the editor. One of the options tabs is UI style. Select the one you want and save.
Reinstall - NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith

As above - you only need "NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith" from the MODS folder within the download

Ok Thanks...

One additional question?

The FileEditorViewer.exe is blank when I open per your instructions...

Do I need to set the SH5 file paths for all of the tabs to populate?

How do you do this?

Thanks Again!

Click File. Set the menu.txt path. Set the SH5 installation path. Then Open the options file.

I haven't played SH for a long time and few days ago I bought SH5. Long break made I feel again like new in this world. I allready did many tutorials from Stoianm's list, I installed mods which he recommends of course with DarkWraith great UI mod (btw thank you Sir, great mod).

My question is about locking target via scope. In previous versions of the game when I locked target my scope followed it, in SH5 it doesn't. I read somewhere that I can change it using this mod, I tried figure it out for 2 hours yasterday looking in cfg files option but without success. I only found option to turn on/off "Lock/break" message in scope view ... anyone can help plz.

Thank you

Sorry for my english

TDW, is there any reason why there isn´t any configurable shortkey for teleporting to Bridge, but it is in the teleporting menu bar?

I am trying to install this mod, but the path name is too long for windows to handle for SH5 installed via Steam.

Any ideas?

Steve

Are you trying to unzip it and you're getting this error? If so, download 7zip or ZipGenius from the web.

I ran into the same problem myself. The solution (in my case, using WinRAR) was to edit the target directory from within the unzipper (WinRAR) to my root directory as in "C:\whatever you want to put in here such as "Temp"\.

No, I unzipped the file using 7zip with no problems to my downloads directory.

The problem was Windows 7 would not copy and paste it into my SH5 directory.

I ended up uninstalling SH5 and Steam and reinstalling Steam to c:\Steam
