MORE GENERIC PATCHER PROBLEMS

[THEBERBSTER]

Having problems with latest version of the TDW_Generic_Patcher_v_1_0_94_0
I have it on the left side of JSGME as instructed on page 3 and the instruction is to right click on the patcher folder and EXPLORE
Step 4 is use the patcher. The instruction is “double click on GenericPatcher to open it. Select FILE – open. When you double click on the Generic Patcher it goes to Run. When you accept Run it adds a Generic Patcher CFG file to the list. (There is no mention that this should happen.)
The next instruction is to point the file to – C:\Ubisoft\ Silent Hunter 5\Mods\TDWpatchv1.067 now updated to 1.094. What does it mean point the file to? The only folder in the Mods file is the one in JSGME that I did the explore on TDW_Generic_Patcher_v_1_0_94_0
The next instruction is to select the TDW_SH5_patches.s5p and OPEN and point it to the folder TDW_Generic_Patcher_v_1_0_94_0 Cannot open it as it uses a Windows Shell Common programme
Is it me, am I doing something wrong. Has anybody else had any experience with this latest Patcher?
Hope you can help
Best wishes Peter

Just put the TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_94_0 in the SH5 main game folder .
Do the backups .
Point the folder to the SH5 main game folder .
Patch the files .

please sober, just a question: should I patch before or after installing the mods? plus, I have installed the patcher via jsgme. Is it ok, or should I just install it directly in the sh5 folder and then patch?

Doesn't matter before or after.
But best is to install patcher as stand alone:
- create a new folder on you desk and name it as latest patcher version
- unzip the downloaded patcher in it
- cut/past your foder created wherever you want (my documents is fine)
- open and clic the Mickey icon
- choose your language
- go file/open and give all the requested paths to your main game folder
- open again and accept all the windows appearing:

- you should get all the patcher lines as:

- open lines by clicking on the little "+", and activate all patches you want
- take a snapshot of all your activated patches via file/take a snapshot, and save
- close and enjoy

I run GenericPatcher from a folder on my desktop. I've created a folder called 'Patched' and placed it in Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Mods. Then I just right clicked on

Sh5.exe
SH_NClient.dll
SHCollisions.act
SHSim.act

and copy them into 'Patched'. I then open the GenModEnblr and point the 4 TDW_..._Patch.s5p files to 'Patched'. I can then just enable/disable through JSGME. Seems to work just fine.

What I'd like to know is what is Orbit Listener?

Thank you Fifi, Just another question: why my patcher doesn´t show the colored icons? has any case been reported where the program doesn´t show them? I just have the messages and the + sign
