Question

[JDM1213]

sry for the noob question but I cant figure out how to play MODS after I have them downloaded. Please excuse me Im very new to SH5 (cant drop it now ) anyways I installed JSGME in the SH5 folder and then opened JSGME. put the MODS I downloaded in the folder it made and Activated the Mods in the JSGME. now what?? lol i cant figure it out for the life of me. i figure i either installed JSGME wrong or something.

any help would be great, im loving this game so much and the MODS seem to really add to it. just want to try them myself

thanks

Welcome aboard!

First make you have JSGME and your mod installed correctly.

Which mod exactly is giving you trouble? From the sound of it you've probably run into one of those mods that's not JSGME compatible out of the box as it were, but instead has the JSGME mod buried under other folders.

Make sure your mod is installed like this:

Silent Hunter 5\MODS\MyModsName\data\...

And not like this:

Silent Hunter 5\MODS\MyModsDownloadFileName\MyModsName\data...

ill make sure the paths are correct tomorrow when i get up. thanks for the quick response. once i know the path is correct do i just start up SH5 like normal but it will play as the MOD?

Depends on the mod and what it does. Mods in Silent Hunter aren't usually different "game modes" like they are in other games, but instead change the UI or functions of the game to play differently.

Like you might have a mod that makes your torpedoes do more damage, or makes prettier sunsets, or one that adds more commands to your UI, or more realistic scopes, or one that makes the enemy destroyers far more dangerous, or one that simply makes the soup in your galley steam.

Some mods are really obvious that they are active, while others are more subtle or work in the background so you can't easily see what they are doing.

kylania -

thanks again for the help, ive fooled around with installing the MODs and think I got it figured out. my main problem right now is with the radio mods. I have dl'ed several, changed the ctg file so I can bring up the radio but when it goes to channels I dont hear anything. any ideas? as of right now I dont have any MODS installed other then Radio Paris. i tried a radio volume mod but that didnt seem to help either. also if there is an easier radio mod out there that will take away these headaches please let me know. really enjoying this game and the fact it seems so user friendly for building on it. im afraid my COD days are done

Here's a video showing how to use one of the radio mods:



Basically the 'forward' and 'back' buttons scan for whatever station frequencies you have set. Which Radio Mod were you using exactly? I can take a look and make sure it'll work with SH5.
