How To Change The Map And Tool Colors In TDW'S Generic File Patcher
Last updated 28th June 2018
How To Change The Map And Tool Colors in TDW’s Generic File Patcher (GFP) Open the GFP application by clicking on the Mickey Mouse Icon. Picture 1 > Click on File. Picture 2 > Click on Open. Picture 3 > Shows the first of 9 patcher prompts, Click on Yes to accept each one. Picture 4 > Patcher 4 is highlighted. Click the + showing in the box to open the patch. Picture 5 > The Map Colour Patch is highlighted. Picture 6 > Click the + in the square box. Picture 7 > Shows the 16 patches. Picture 8 > In this tutorial I am going to make a change to the colour in Change 1 by clicking the + in the square box or by double clicking on Change 1. Picture 9 > Double click on Is Color: True. Picture 10 > Click on the your selected Colour. (Tutorial shows Black) Picture 11 > Click Ok. Picture 12 > Double click on Enabled: False. Picture 13 > You will now get the Verification Box. Click on Yes to accept the change. Picture 14 > Shows the previous Enabled: False has changed to Enabled: True. Picture 15 > When finished making any further GFP changes just click on the Red X to Close/Exit. It is quite normal the next time you go back to the GFP to see the Map Colour is showing the Red Disabled symbol again. This does not affect your already saved selections.

Thanks for the comments MikeMike really appreciated.
Yes, it is a lot of hard work but I am sure no less than the modders have put into OHII and other great mods. I just feel that the noob's and less experienced are struggling to get answers to questions and I thought it is about time someone did something about it. This is the sort of thing I mean. I asked this question. I have the German Language Pack Enabled do I need to use Speech fixes and additions (German version) or Speech fixes and additions (English version) The reply was 'I do'nt' speak German.' Why could he not just have said yes or no? That answer does not help me at all. I had to do a re-install so I used 'Custom' and this did away with the mod but. I still do not have the answer to my question. I am also looking for other helpful things as I find them like in my Post #39 Again it is all in one place as I build it up. it seems that the guys that have been around for sometime do not know about the 'Validators' or 'How to move your mods etc. There is something here for everyone. Best wishes Peter

Can I Skip The Silent Hunter 5 Tutorial?
Last updated 21st August 2018
Can I Skip The Silent Hunter 5 Tutorial? Most of it yes you can. If you are new to Silent Hunter 5 and start a new Career you will normally have to do the Tutorial (Not TWoS). Exit the Tutorial when you hear the cinematic music by using the ESC key. Back on the Desktop you need to make a change to your Career History cfg file. Your ‘Career History’ is not kept in your ‘Silent Hunter 5 Files’ but is to be found in the following path: C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\Career History HasCompletedTutorial = false You need to change > false to true. Go to > File Select > Save Exit Ok, now take a look at this. Post #52 Career History CFG File Why You Need To Make A Copy Of It > Pictorial

Would it be possible for you to either post a list of all the patches / options you have enabled in the TDW Generic Patcher, or upload your own gps so that I can see what settings you have enabled to go with your mod list.
Looking at the patcher options I just don't know what has to be enabled and what is optional. Many thanks |

Hi Peter I do all of this just before running a previous saved game in Wilhemshaven base. Then I request and start a new mission. All is fine until the first autosaved game. Just then I get CTD. If I try to save game manually is the same. I think there is something that not let play pathed sh5.exe. Is there any other alternative? Another question: Where could I see the secondary objectives when start a new mission? Thanks |
