Good to see you sorted it out.

Captain's Log 0000-00-00 Corruption And How To Correct It

Last Updated 8th October 2017

Captain's Log 0000-00-00 Corruption And How To Correct It
The Captain’s Log records all the data for targets destroyed during a mission.
Unfortunately this data is sometimes appears corrupted.
Picture 1 > shows the date having been corrupted 0000-00-00.
https://i.postimg.cc/269zx4H0/1-Pre-change.jpg

To overcome this problem if you wish to do so, but it is not compulsory, and you want to show the correct date for the destroyed target the following needs to happen.
Go to > Documents Folder
Go to > SH5 Folder
Go to > data Folder
Go to > cfg Folder
Go to > SaveGames Folder

It is important now to find the last saved game.
As there can be more than 1 save during game play you need to look at both the date and the time of the last save.
An example is shown in Picture 2.
Picture 2
https://i.postimg.cc/8kwytZmp/2-Save-Game-Folder.jpg

Select > CaptainLog
An example is shown in Picture 3.
Picture 3
https://i.postimg.cc/59FBFpKK/3-Captain-Log.jpg

With the Captain’ Log Notepad opened what you see is only what has been recorded in this last game save number.
Somewhere in it you are going to see this > Date=0
An example is highlighted in Picture 4 where the block of data has been highlighted to show the corrupted date.
Picture 4
https://i.postimg.cc/SxjNJ1DJ/4-Capt...wing-error.jpg

Remove the 0 and replace it with the correct date.
Use the block of data above to show how the date has to be entered.
This will be the torpedo impact date so will always be the correct date.
An example is highlighted in Picture 5
Picture 5
https://i.postimg.cc/j5MFwc8S/5-Corr...te-entered.jpg

With the correct date entered.
Go to > File or Exit
Go to > Save
Exit the Captain’s Log.

When you start your next game and go to the Captain’s Log you should now see the correct date has replaced the 0000-00-00 date.

JSGME Saving A Mod Profile Tutorial 1 of 4

Last updated 24th April 2018
In this tutorial I will show you How To Save a Mod Profile for The First Time in JSGME by using a Mep File.

Sometime now or later you will want to, or need to, make alterations to your existing Mod List.
Making a Mep File can also be very useful when needing to get to that awkwardly placed Overwritten Mod.
JSGME has a Profile Management Tool that will save you a lot of time and also you will be able to keep records of previous Enabled Mod Lists that you may wish to keep.
You can use any previous Mep File Save providing the Mod is still in JSGME whether it is Enabled or Disabled.

What is a Mep File?
This is the List of your Enabled Mods that is Saved to a Mep File.
What is a Mod Profile?
This is the Enabled Mods.

1. How to Save A Mod Profile.

2. The first time you do this you need to make a New Folder where Mep Files can be kept.

3. For the purpose of this Tutorial this New Folder will be called Mep Files.

4. Place the Mep Files Folder somewhere that you can get easy access to.

5. Making a Desktop Shortcut is another useful way to find the Mep Files Folder easily.

6. Open JSGME.

7. In the Picture we can see that there are 56 Activated Mods and 1 Disabled Mod. (Picture 1)

(Picture 4)
https://s14.postimg.org/goqox9cm9/Picture_4c.jpg https://s17.postimg.cc/hay1il333/Picture_4c.jpg

13. For the Tutorial this will be Mep File 1 05.04.2015 (Picture 4)

14. When you do your First Save the Save as type may not show (*.mep)

15. If it does not show this then add to the File Name For Mep File 1 05.04.2015.mep

16. You will not need to do that .mep again as next time it will recognise the File Type.

17. Click on Save. (Picture 5)

40. Close JSGME.
41. If you do get an Error Message then Close JSGME and then Open It Again and you will see that the Mods have still Enabled correctly.
42. It is also possible to Type the Mod Name in the Mep File using the Keyboard.
43. It is essential that it is entered exactly as you it see it in JSGME.
44. If this not done correctly then an Error will occur when the Mep File is Loaded.
45. I would advise Adding the Mod and then moving it to the desired position rather than the possibility of making a typing mistake.

TIP
If you shade this Tutorial and then copy and paste it to your PC Notepad you can then edit it.

I'm new to the game and this tutorials are great!!

Thanks!!

I've just read "How To Intercept A Convoy From A Received BDU Radio Message", excellent tutorial!

The only problem is that my navigator doesn't calculate bearing and range to convoy? How can I fix that?

Thanks again.

Hi diego

The range and bearing is given by the 'Watch Officer on the bridge and not the Navigator.

From one of his icons he is able to give you the range and bearing.

He is in TDW's New UI 7-4-2 and 7-5-0 mod.

The tutorial is based on using 'Real Navigation.'

If you have map contacts showing in your 'Game Play Options' then you should be seeing your U-boat and the convoy if you are close enough.

if you are not using TDW's mod then you can use your ruler and protractor to get the range and bearing.

Peter

So that calculation is a feature of tdw new ui's? Do you have that option if you are not using real nav?

I installed new ui's but then added other mods and started to get random ctds.

Did a fresh re install, activate the necesary exe patches following your guides, still random ctds...

Deactivate exe patches, back to normal no ctds.

Then, activating patches by group to find the one causing the problem, found that "RPM Inertia, Shafts and props...." was causing a ctd when the game was loading. So I'll leave that out.

I'm testing with the final gruop of patches.

All your tutorials have proven to be real helpfull!!

Hi again diego

No, Real Navigation is not necessary.

With Real Navigation you do not see any ships on the map.

That is why every 4 hours the navigator plots your position.

One of the bugs in SH5 is that some times you get as Stoianm says the 'Ghost Ship.'

In his case it was the actual convoy he was seeing but should not have been able to.

I would suggest you post your mod list and I will check it out for you.

In “JSGME”

Go to “Tasks”

Go to “Export activated mod lists to”

Click on “Clipboard”

Paste to the Post on Subsim.

Is your download 'Steam?'

I had an older version of tdw ui's and also installed the other mods in the wrong order. Now i'm going to do it in the right order following the lists in this post. First want to check that none of the exe patches is causing ctds.

No steam luckily!

Bye, Diego.

Hi diego

Glad to hear things are moving forward.

You know where I am if you need any help.

Peter

Welcome to SubSim diego :sunny:
