Hi svedan !

I see that you already tried this step and now i have confirmation about what was blocking this application, good find.

I gently ask you a further step since i can't do any test now : can you start the game with U-Play and follow the procedure steps pointed before by vdr1981 ? then continue with a savegame or start a new one to check if the campaign is updated correctly...

Your help would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks in advance :) !

Mama, you've made it! :up:

Just for info, but for sure - any advices welcome.

In every save from the first mission of Mare Nostrum (patrol CH76 and 73) I have CTD when Id like to load a game. Maybe traffic here is to big or something else? Tested 6x :wah: .

Hey Yoyo and Svedan...

Can you please try to trigger campaign ending with your last HT/CW savegame using this instructions...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=274:hmm2:

Good to know, I'll try it.

Sounds like broken gamesave...Fin one that works and try to continue your campaign.

Hi Vecko

Uplay browser disabled.
Just to confirm that all missions in the first campaign changed from pending to finished apart from the last mission that I am currently playing.

75 manual saves completed, no problems.

You mean, the patch that disables Uplay browser is disabled, right

Excellent, this means that when you reach 1/06/1940 you will be transferred to Happy times without any problems and need to do "sillentotto" workaround...:up:
Note that Mama's solution with TWoS is necessary only when expecting campaign transfer, on campaign ending. Before that date, you can load your gamesaves with or without setting OSI.exe priority, there will be no significant impact on campaign progress.
In the next patch I'm going to upload new Snapshot with with disabled Uplay browser patch. :yep:

Hi Vecko

Yes I mean't the patches.

Gamers who do not currently use TWOS but still have the tonnage bar but maybe updating their save games manually would they need to activate the osi in processes each time they load their game for the tonnage bar to work properly?

CONFIRM: We need to DISABLE THE TWoS VANILLA DISABLED UPLAY WITH OFEV, passing it to RED CROSS, enabling Uplay.

I tried it and works fine, OSI.exe loaded with game start.

Regards.

As a general advice i recommend to enable OSI each time the main game is loaded. Remember that while the game is running you can freely save or load your campaign multiple times without need of doing anything with OSI, since it shut down only when the main game is quitted.

Regarding the tonnage bar and all data related to ships sunk and other records : OSI is responsible also for those checks so i recommend to not leave it disabled during patrols. If something important is not recorded and updated you may miss some event to be triggered (like the tonnage bar correct update for who still use it).

At all effects if OSI is Always enabled and running correctly there is no need to manually do anything. Given the fact that the campaign hasn't any bug (the original had a lot of them...).

Since i'm not well inside TWOS mechanichs i do not know how Vecko's changes deals with OSI when it works correctly, i can't give details on that, for sure he knows more about that :) .

Nice ships. It was about time to have some fresh targets in game :yeah:

Good!
I had a look into the new ships, and I have noticed you have replaced some model parts, most notably some of the lifeboats with the new masts. You don't need to do so. Cloning a node in S3d is as easy as selecting it, pressing Shift Ctrl C (the Shift key is used for copying a node together with its child chunks), selecting again the node that you want your new node to be placed below, and pressing Ctrl V. Once you are done, you must change the Id of the cloned node and of any sub-node, change the bone label (i.e. its name) appropriately, and then change the linked 3d model to anything you want. If need be, you can also import a completely new mesh into the dat file.

This is the quickest way to do it, but there is a more elegant method which allows us to fully customize any unit, and having many variants of it without having to physically clone dat/zon/sim/dsd/val files. This is done by setting Y configurable equipment nodes. They are used the way regular equipment is. Once you have cloned and re-numbered a node (for ease you should use as base another equipment node), change its name replacing the letter denoting equipment type (A, M, L, P, etc.) with a Y, and move its coordinates to where the new part should be placed on the main model. When you are done, import the new mast/funnel/turret, etc. you want your model to sport into a new dat file (if you are using as base a dat file previously used in game, never forget changing nodes' id and names), add to it a zon file and any other binary file the new structure might need, copy the new files into the library folder and link them to the model through eqp file.

If you create a dummy copy of the ship, you can have two or more customized versions of her, or you can simulate late-war changes to the superctructure of the same ship, by creating many entries in the same eqp file, one with and the other without or witn a different new structure.
If the new structure is derived from the same model that it will be used on, you can also set it to use the same diffuse/ambient occlusion texture as the main model. This way, any paint/camo scheme will be inherited. If need be, you can also slightly edit/reshape the cloned structure so to make it to fit better into its new position. As long as the changes done wont distort too much the existing UV maps, and vertex coordinates of main and AO model will be identical, there shouldn't be problems in doing so.

If you have SHIV installed, you can look for examples into the library/ship parts folder. There are not examples of this method being used in stock SH5, but it should work just the same. :up:

No any problems with Your last saves from campaign after reinstallation?
Did You start the new campaign or just load a file and works ok (you have the opportunity to continue campaign)?
