SH5 Mod Guide for Beginners

[LisaAzra]

Hi again, thanks for the info about folders, I think that may have been one problem. I followed u-tube tutorial, installed opus/UI/ etc followed exactly, on start up menu have windows open, one about recording entries in journal with check boxes and another (can't see) neither windows will close and if I try to start the game under new, can't get silentotto feature and crashes back to windows. re-installed game, vs 1.2patch, etc just put on DW's New UI mod, same. I've checked the player option py script can't see why happening

Ok I reloaded the mod with just the TDC hidden changed from false to true and things are working. Must say it looks fantastic, so big kiss to all of you who have turned a major disappointment into something worthy of the name. Guess now it is a matter of tinkering with the py script. Is there a tutorial on the attack dial? I'm guessing it is similar to the AOB calculator available for SH4?

Sorry guys, being blonde I found the manual, ooops and I'm now in charge of a sub!

That did the trick, thanks! Already sunk a 4 ship convoy off the Coastal waters.

As a noob to the game and community, this thread is very helpful, as I definately want to mod SH5 into a better state. So thanks a bunch for putting the info out there.

SH5Lifeboats_by_Rongel_TDW_stoianm_v2.11

All was working fine for a week or so then the game would not load, showing a black screen after the loading bar.

I messed with the mods and found that NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith was causing the issue. I remove this mod and the game loads ok.

I have tried using 6_9_0 but still the same issue. I also used trevally's may loadout exactly (although the above is still based on it) and again the same results. Ive removed some vc++ installations ( i saw this in another thread) to try and see if this made any difference, but no.

i normally run with Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (normal) V2.1 plus some minor patches, but i just want the above working.

what is the conflict? am i doing something wrong? why would it just suddenly happen?
please help i can run the game and play without newUIs but im so used to playing with this mod now it feels wrong without it

I have a good spec pc and the loading time for me is about 2 mins. (black screen)

Try giving it more time to load
