Welcome aboard! It's currently broken in campaign play, but hopefully will be fixed tomorrow with the patch.

If it's not, check the mod section in the next few days/weeks for a mod that'll restore it.

BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU START DOING ANY CHANGES HERE!

I`ve got small workaround to get VIIB right from the start (which is also realistic since VIIBs were available from beginning of the war) but you need to start a new career.

Go into your silent hunter main directory.

X:\Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\

Open CareerOptions.upc

Edit:

[CareerOptions 1]
ID= TotalGermany39
[CareerOptions 1.Flotilla 1]
ID= C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable= 2. Unterseebootsflottille
IDLinkFlotilla= 2ndFlotilla ; link to ID in Flotilla upc file
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F2VIIA to B, 1
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality= 1

So your edited file will look like this:

[CareerOptions 1]
ID= TotalGermany39
[CareerOptions 1.Flotilla 1]
ID= C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable= 2. Unterseebootsflottille
IDLinkFlotilla= 2ndFlotilla ; link to ID in Flotilla upc file
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F2VIIB, 1
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality= 1

Go into you "Documents and settings" folder in your C:\ drive and find

...\SH5\data\cfg\UserPlayerContextGE\ where you delete CareerOptions.upc

All done, start a new career.

If it won`t work there`s one more small change in different file but I think this should be sufficient.

Glad it worked

If you want to start again in VIIA do the same steps - rename F2VIIB ->F2VIIA and delete CareerOptions.upc in "Documents and settings" again and start new career.

I`ve got another "fix" for VIIB & VIIC avaliability but I`m not 100% sure if you need to start a new career again. But I would suggest to start new career anyway.

Here`s the file:

http://www.filefront.com/16100193/Flotillas.upc

It`s easy to do, folders are same as before

X:\Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\ (installation directory)

Here you will overwrite old Flotillas.upc with new Flotillas.upc

Don`t forget to backup original file!

Then on the C:\ drive Documents & settings (same folder as before)

...\SH5\data\cfg\UserPlayerContextGE\ you delete Flotillas.upc.

Start a new career...

This should make VIIC available only between 09-10/01/1940. Should be also working when starting career vanilla (with VIIA) and then later you should get VIIB not VIIC.

sszzzzss · 04-12-10, 10:20 AM

Yes,very cool.

more details.

just do it.

I tried this and it crashes the game every time.

I dont understand why people want to sail the VIIB if the conning tower isent even correct and thus the model is broken.

TheElitePhoenix · 04-13-10, 06:03 PM

It looks cool, that's why I want it! Either way, Can someone PLEASE help me?

Make sure you're not typing it exactly as it's there, that's just telling you to change FROM A TO B. This is what it should read when you're done editing:

Quote:

[CareerOptions 1]
ID= TotalGermany39

[CareerOptions 1.Flotilla 1]
ID= C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable= 2. Unterseebootsflottille
IDLinkFlotilla= 2ndFlotilla ; link to ID in Flotilla upc file
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits= F2VIIB, 1
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality= 1

Remember to start a new career. You only need to change that single (highlighted in green) character, not add the -> VIIB stuff.

If you delete Career options in your CFG folder it makes the game quit right when you select a new mission, jus' sayin.

No it doesn`t...

I was afraid that ppl that don`t understand difference between "Main game instalation folder" and "Documents & setting" folder will mess things up. I clearly said what you have to do.

I don`t know how to make guide easier here, so if you don`t understand basics here don`t even try to mod something.

Edit:
...Silent Hunter 5\data\UPCDataGE\UPCCampaignData\ (main game installation directory - here you will EDIT)
...SH5\data\cfg\UserPlayerContextGE\ (documents & settings directory - here you will DELETE)

See the difference?

Do you actually understand that you don`t have to write VIIA->VIIB?
You have to change it from VIIA TO VIIB...

And thx kylania, i hope they understand it better that way

hector · 04-14-10, 06:10 AM

I tried this method and i also crash out of the game or,nothing happens at all.I also tried using F5VIIB and F8VIIB to see if that would make any difference and i found i could start in the "Western Approaches" phase of the campaign.
I also wondered if one of the mods i have installed some how conflicted with this but i couldnt see anything obvious.

Thanks for your help

Hector.
