Berbster is correct it just takes logical steps I've just run WOS 2.07 no probs but I've been around a long time so its second nature to me using Generic Mod Enabler. That said anything that simplifies getting set up for the first time is always welcome. There seems to be a lot of newcomers finding getting fully set up very daunting and some give up, I'm really not that surprised most games are far simpler to implement mods . SH is a little blinding in its Mass of info accumulated over a long time.

Lets make it a easy as possible to widen Appeal it can't be a bad thing

Hi Vecko,

auto-installer sounds good to me.

In order to allow customization, you might include JSGME, and accessory mods directly in the installer, so that they will be in the correct folder once the install process is finished (à la GWX).

You might even let the player to choose wether he wants to install just the base mod, or the base mod pllus the accessory mod package. New UI's option viewer/editor and TDW's patcher might also be part of this 'customization module'.

Alternatively, you might release the mod in two versions: traditional (for advanced players and people who want to customize their game) and auto-installer (easier to install but not customizable).

As for hardcoded patches, I think you shouldn't run into any legal issue if you include the pre-patched exe, dll and act files directly in the mod, as long as they are encrypted in the auto-installer, and the installer itself requires original UBI files to be run. :hmm2:

Thanks very much for the latest update Vecko!

Keep up the good work.

John.

Where did you get the original file StrategicMapNew.dds for further editing?

That's how I have organised TWoS installer right now. I used simple winrar self extracting archive which is "kind of" auto installer but still, I see a lot of modlist where players use all resolution patches in the same time ect...

That is the option for sure...:yep:

That is my goal, an auto installer which would contains activated Generic Patcher and which would have ability to configure OFEV and Gen. Patcher's cfg files according to preset path stated at the beginning of installation process (maybe even taken from registry). However, that kind of full installer is still beyond me but hopefully some day...:yep:


If I remember correctly those pieces of nav map background are from some Russian version of TWoS which I've stumbled upon the net. They look much cleaner then the original Obelix's Strat.Map file. Is there any problems regarding this? :hmmm:

IMPORTANT NOTICE

It seems that interaction with the crew can sometimes cause CTD in situations when players camera is extremely tilted/bugged and this can usually happen when your U-Boat is sinking bow/stern first under extreme angle.

It's important to know that the issue has nothing to do with latest dialogs menu update. It's an old problem which could be introduced by some modder long time ago or it could even be stock game issue.

This means that it will take some time until I manage to track down source of the problem , especially since I'm not really familiar with this part of the game, but I hope I'll made it eventually, as always...:yep:

So for now, try to avoid unnecessary interaction with your crew when your avatar's camera is bugged/tilted on one side due to heavy damage and U-boat's sinking. Use GUI controls preferably...:yep:

Haha, i don't use it, not one ctd yet :)

Send mast height to TDC?
 

Hi all!

Last time I played this mod was about a year ago, and back then you could pull up a handy little identification booklet, flip through, find the type of ship you were engaging, then send the mast height to the TDC in order to find the range using the stadimeter. I just re-downloaded and installed this mod today, and when I went to open up the identification booklet, all I could find were some 2 page spread identification cards, and as far as I can tell, no way to send the mast height to the TDC once I identified the target. Now whenever I use the stadimeter, it says the range is 20000m, even if my target is clearly right in front of me, at less than 1000m away . . . Any help?

Crazeek: Try pressing 'e' to show all of the charts; then look to the left of your screen. It's hidden, but you'll see a brown edge and you can pull it out to see the ship identification book you're referring to.

welcome aboard!
