Thanks everyone!, i appreciate your replies.
And yes, the mod was Open Horizons :Kaleun_Wink:

I'm not sure about that...:hmm2: TWoS eviroment is combination of several environment mods and my tweaks but most of the colors in the mod comes from Gap's Dynamic Environment 2.9.

Of course you’re right! My bad, i always mix up those 2 mods... was talking about Dynamic Environment instead of Open Horizon (wich is mainly about the campaign i think)

@ Vecko:

On 5 different loading saves during Dantzig campaign, i got only one with medium fog instead of clear weather (when i was heading for new port, Kiel)
Seems better than before, where i got so many fog saves.
I keep an eye on this during the Eastern approach, and report back if necessary :salute:

Yes, true, i didnt know i had both, and didnt know wich one of them was the responsable for the fog.
BTW thanks again!

I have a problem with installing
 

Hello Wolfsrudel, :Kaleun_Salivating:



two years ago I installed sucessfuly Wolves of Steel (an earlier version of 2015 or so).


So I decided to revisit the depths of the ocean and renew this good mod.


My Dates:
Windows 7-64
Game in U-Play
downloaded the new full mod version
downloaded the update.exe


My steps:
I uninstalled SH5 from Uplay
Restarted PC
I installed SH5 from Uplay
I went into the game once and left
I clicked the full-mod.exe and installed it (proceeding as descripted)
I clicked the update.exe and installed it
Going into the game

-> Wolves of Steel loading screen with this bar is working
-> than the next black screen appears and game is not starting,
instead I hear all 4 seconds a loop of the first second of the main menu theme sound, obviously its trying to start but just wont
I tab out for the task manager, where it shows me that its "not running"


Off course I tried out different variants of the installation, with JGSME and without, with NET4.0 and without, with Direct X9 and without.....


.....its just not starting.


Please, has someone an idea? I need help :Kaleun_Binocular:

Just wait 3-4 minutes...The game will start.:yep: and re-read last part of TWoS install instructions PDF...:salute:

BTW, you don't need the v2.2.7 Update if you have already downloaded v2.2.7 full standalone installer (the big one, 2GB). You didn't "brake" anything even if you did so of course...:yep:

Many thanks for the update , Vecko!

Nice to see restored the binos and UZO.

Best regards.

Ahoy Subsimers
 

I have played Silent Hunter since SH3 through SH4 and I really love these games.
I have to admit I was disappointed and frustrated like many I believe over SH5. But I have to say after installing the final Expansion pack full I'm amazed by the changes it made to the game.
So.. I want to pay my respect for the good work, and say a LOUD thank you so much to Vecko and whoever has been involved with this fantastic mod/patch. Very well done!


Keep on hunting.
Best regards
Baker

thanks, still some questions
 

@vdr1981
Thank you, after waiting five or six minutes it was loading. Patience is not my strength sometimes.




Regarding the new mod version, I am having some questions.

In the earlier mod version it was, that I had down on bottom screen
some of my officers (navigation dude, engine dude ect.)


I could click on them and let make them some tasks for me, as doing the math on possible range/current speed for example.


Where is this gone?
I also dont hear those nice noises anymore, from the famous movie "The Boat" "Das Boot". :hmmm:

They are still there, just hover your mouse over the area and they pop up. For the "Das Boot" sounds and music, it is still in, I at least had it today. Though I miss the "ALAAAARM, FLUUUUTEEEEEN" when you order a crash dive. xD

To be honest, I find the vanilla sound and voices incredible boring.
I dont know, why the WoS version from 3 years ago had all the sounds and voices from the movie "Das Boot" in, and the newst version not....


....dont get it.


Is there a stable and reliable sub-mod maybe?

Thx for warm welcome.

I should have been participating on this forum for a long time, but now I finally got my periscope up.
I'm looking forward to discuss and have fun with you all.

Thank you.

Best Regards
Baker

Download Stormy's DBSM 1.3 + beta6, then take away everything but the sound files and the crew scripts, and take away all sh.sdl files. That will make it compatible with TWoS, the crew appearance will be like the one in 'Das Boot' and you will enjoy far better sounds and crew speeches in German :yep:

could you help me in the details maybe?
 

Hey, thanks for your answer. :salute:



First question = is this compatible with an already started game?
(if not, would not that bad, I am just in the bay of Danzig)


Second question = I have absolutly no clue and idea about what and where I should which kind of files put.
Maybe you could help me (TS also possible if you have time and mood) ?

Well, you should have some idea about how mods are working and how to install them otherwise you will always read more than play...It's as I said above, here more details:

Download the 1.3 Stormy's DBSM, unzip the basemod;
navigate inside data folder and delete all but scripts and sound folder;
in the sound folder, delete sh.sdl

Download xxxx_beta6 add-on, unzip
same procedure as above, delete all but scripts and sound folder;
in the sound folder, delete sh.sdl

Re-zip both basemod and xxxx_beta6, call it TWoS_ADJUSTED_Stormys_DBSM.rar, store it for future use.

Unzip the changed mods into JSGME and activate them in last position, first the basemod then beta6.

You should be fine loading your last save.

Thank you very much.
But I dont find this mod for downloading.
May I ask you for some links?
(sorry for babysitting)





So I delete in those 2 downloaded mod folder everything, except the /scripts and /sound......and in /sound only the sh.sdl ?


"Unzip the changed mods into JSGME and activate them in last position..."
What do you mean by that?
I activate JSGME and pull them on the right side, yes?


Sorry, I have no clue about SH5's files and mod files so far.
