List Your MOD Loadout/Order

[parazaine]

Right, I've been struggling for a while to get a stable mod loadout that includes magnum opus.

The following is my current mod list but i keep seeing that there are two patches for magnum opus, 1 and 2 and i only have the 2nd one installed via stoianm's video tutorial....I have also seen people patch MO in a different way to stoianm who does it directly by overwriting MO with the patch 2 data

Some people just seem to add patch 2 as another mod after MO

Do both ways work the same?

Anyway, here is my current 'soup'...I would greatly appreciate any help in sorting out why I get CTD's a lot (I have patched MO via stoianm's method)

all installed via the generic mod enabler:

Magnum_Opus+v0_0_1 (patched with patch2)
Original map colors
Manos Scopes-patch for 16x9
NewUI's_TDC_6_5_1_Real_Navigation
NewUI's_TDC_6_5_1_Das_Boot_Crew_Mod
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2
R7 HiRes Alt English Panels
Critical Hits 1.1 Torpedoes
stoianm pitch&roll for SH5 V1 (normal)
Icebergs v2.4
Lite Campaign with Ice
Unterseeboot II SFX
German U-Boat Crew Language Pack
sobers & stoianm base fog mechanics V16 SH5
sobers base sky mechanics V1
sobers 3D deck spray mod V7
stoianm realistic color exterior mod (high color) v1
Dark Interior V1
Dark Interior additional sounds
EquaTool 01.01 by AvM - Large Style
d3d_antilag

I would like to add more but perhaps i should get the order for these sorted out first? Is Old Style Explosions merely a matter of choice or does it address some sort of problem with the stock explosions?

I'm running an I7 Mobo with 6 gigs of Ram and a GTX 480 1.5 gig card and using antilag in conjunction with EVGA Precision to contol the temperature....I usually dont run any hotter than about 70-80 with the latter during the hottest time of the year so overheating can't be the problem.

Hi Parazine

As I'm no wizard at getting the mods in the right order I'm just gonna answer a few of your questions.
You' can be confident you'll get the other answers soon.

Well, the MO patches are cumulative so you just need # 2
I've myself seen others' mod lists with the patch stated as a separate mod in the list but I'm not sure if that really works.
I have always;
1. Downloaded the patch
2. Extracted it
3. Patched the mod by copying om top of the mod (i.e. C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\mod's name)

Don't forget - when patching or upgrading to a new version of a mod by TheDarkWraith - use the "OptionsMigrater.exe (Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1\data\Applications) or you will lose your settings in the UserOptions.py file!
If you're not sure how to use it just PM me and we'll sort it out.

[Arcticdive]

What list would be good for a player who is just starting to add mods to the game? I see so many but don't know where to start.

It doesn't seem to conflict with anything. I thought it was replacing the german dial descriptions in the TDC with english ones, now i'm not so sure...i forget where i got it from lol....Re: R7 Hires Alt English Panels

P.S. no other conflicts anyone can see?

I removed the R7 mod and the dials were still in english so it seems it was redundant..perhaps causing isses?

Thank you for the quick response..

It seems I've finally got a viable mod list....no CTD's or freezes any more (so far). My thanks to all who supplied valuable input (i've even managed to use a hex editor to enable the hydrophone fix)

I added Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod and some of the extras associated with it and it's all looking might fine now...I just have to learn how to find targets now (spent an hour chasing a contact in heavy fog that was as fast as my max surface speed, diving for a sonar bearing every few minutes....he seemed to be able to see me on the surface in heavy fog? It was definitely some sort of merchant but he managed to constantly stay at about 3700m range and I couldnt close with him...gave up eventually but it was fun for a while)

My revised Mod list follows:

All loaded via the generic mod enabler;

Magnum_Opus_v0_0_1 (patched and configured)

Hm... My hydrophone problem persists. Even with TDW .exe patches, REM and using silent running/battle stations and being at 32m depth I still seem cannot hear anything past 7km.

Sometimes it gets silly where my crew member hears the screws, but manually using the hydrophone I can't hear anything. And other times - I can hear the screws myself, but my hydrophone guys reports No Contacts...

Bleh.. moar testing

If you'd like to run the Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_1_2_byTheBeast you need
not only the 'fix' but also the 'stock file'

Go here; http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3034

and download the package.
