[REL] Multiple UIs for SH5 with TDC

[Raven_2012]

I am having problems with the ship journal in the main menu. When I click on a journal I just made, the game freezes and it doesn't bring up The Journal app.

[Raven_2012]

I tried version 7.4.2, I am using 6.9 and I notice in new version when I hit E to bring up ship recontion manual, I can't click on it to open and also the maps are very huge.

hello, I've installed tdw 7.4.2 and I don't have the logo only electric engine in surface and no more deck awash;I've the twice with tdw 7.5?
What's wrong?

thanks for help
and happy new year from france

Hey everyone. Just installed 7.4.2 and I've obviously gone wrong somewhere.

I enabled it through GME, launched the game and spawned in the sub pen. However, my screen was taken over with by the UI.



It only got worse once I was on the boat



I can't minimize anything, nor can I play the game. What in Gods green earth have I done wrong? All I'm after is the enhanced SH5 UI.

Cheers, and Happy New Year.

Hello Stomper013.

To update your game installation to 1.2.0 run the file Silent Hunter 5/GameUpdater/gu.exe as an administrator.

Cheers, Echolot.

Just my luck that it was something simple.

So I assume the Ship Recognition manual is broken in 7.4.2 and 7.5.0?

No, it works.. why do you hit 'E' instead of use mouse?

PS: and why 'E'? what is it?

[Raven_2012]

"E" brings up the window for the ship recognition manual. It has always been like that since 6.9.0. Hitting "E" toggles it on and off. By default its "E"

The icon for the manual isn't on my screen to drag it over, so that's why I can't drag it over.

When I hit "E" and it comes up, I click on it to open the book, but it doesn't open up.

I'm not talking about recognition manual your XO has, I am talking about the black book. "E" in 6.9.0 brought up the recognition manual and had the maps in top left corner.

recognition manual works fine in all New UIs for TDC versions. I have always used SH5 enhanced version, now using version 7.5, test version 12. I used 7.4.2 with no problems either.
I would say you have a corrupted file in your latest version, some mod was not enabled or disabled properly using New UIs for TDC optional mods. I bet more that the options in TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file was not migrated properly in the OptionsMigrater.exe or not used at all as instructed by TDW.

New options could have been added in TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py in the latest New UIs for TDC 7.4.2 compared to earlier versions of TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py in the New UIs for TDC X.X.X when your recognition manual worked.

Thing is I can start a game and disable all mods, but the ones in New UI. I can put in fresh downloaded install in and it still wont work. I even tried it on my new install of SH5, which is a downloaded copy from Amazon. My old one was Steam and it didn't work there either. So its something else.

I am running game in admin also, so thats not a possibility. I have Windows 7.

The manual comes up fine, when I click on it, it wont open. If I click on arrows, they flicker and don't do anything. On my steam version I was able to change the categories of ships, but still couldn't open it. Now I can't do anything.

Another thing to note when I run dxdiag there is only DirectX 11 and no 9, I wonder if this a problem.

I always install the older versions of directx when installing the game.

[Raven_2012]

I thought it installed DirectX9 when it installed I guess not. I will try to download directX9c from online, since you can have multiple directx version with no problems.

Yes, go to Microsoft site for directx9. If you have DVD, it may or may not have asked about installing old version. There is a directx separate folder on DVD.
