I was under the impression that when I enable a mod using JSGME, it backups the files it is about to change to the JSGME MOD folder of the mod you are about to enable, and copies the new files over to the game's base install dir ?

If that's the case, which it seems to be from testing, would enabling the patches before installing the NewUI mod not give issues with post-patch altered .act files ?

I have the exact same issue as Mehring1917 Even with the latest Patcher. Fresh install Updated to 1.2 Fallowed the instructions from this thread so i don't know what i did wrong.

u have the steam version of the game ? or u try to patch with running uplay ?
when u patch the sh5 stop uplay ....

Dermeister · 09-22-13, 09:25 AM

I don't have steam version and i checked in my applications that are running all that stuff is closed no U play no SH5 Same scenario as Mehring1917. i followed what peopel replied to help him... SO far it's pretty much the exact same scenario... and i think i got the latest version of the patcher from this site.

UPDATE.Well I Ended up Renstallign the game and now it works. No errors... O-o

So I followed your tutorial Sjizzle, and more or less activated the same stuff that you have. Not all though.
Since I did this, I am having lots of problems with my torpedos. They never explode.
Some detonate way early, other start to stray left and right, but most are dud. I have not had a singel detonation on target since using the patcher

Are the torpedos really this unpredictable?

Did you instal FX_Update_0_0_22_Torpedoes (modified for torpedoes failure patches)? Look in Notes section in Patcher

No I did not. What a mistake

Should I install all the fx torpedos update? And can I do It now, or must it be in a spesific order? Must I unpatch the exe allso`?
Sorry for all the questions...

You can instal this mod after you patched .exe file
And you have to choose only 1 fx torpedo update according to your mod list

NewUi latest Version TheDarkWraith
NewUi latest Version real nav
IRAI latest V.
IRAI interia damage
Open horizon 2 latest V.
Sobers terrain fix for OH
TDW mines subnets detectable in Hydro OH2
All sound included
EQuaTools
Trevally automated scrips
Trevally harbour pilots
Trevally tutorials

Thats all the mods I am using. But whitch torpedofx to pick from this list I have no idea...

LMD · 09-22-13, 11:56 AM

You can use either:

-FX Update 0.0.22 Torpedoes - MagDet range 3m (modified for torpedoes failure patches)

or

- FX Update 0.0.22 Torpedoes (modified for torpedoes failure patches)

Just instal it right after FX update 0_0_22 by TheDarkWraith

Anybody willing to take a stab at answering this one ? It seems that with the .act files that are changed, and the overlap with some mods also changing the same .act files, order becomes relevant here ? Am I mistaken ?

To the best of my knowledge, neither NewUI nor any other mod do alter act files

Meh .. I'm being stupid ...

I mean the .dll files TDWFileUtils.dll and TDWUtils.dll .. but I doubt they are changed now .. and I should be paying more attention :p

I am using the JSGME method to put the generic patcher stuff into my game .. as per instructions found here, adapted a little for missing files the new patchers looks for.

I went on the assumption that needing them means changing them .. which seems to be in error :p
