In my humble opinion, start with trying out TWoS. The install is really straight forward and easily packaged. The less potential issues you have while getting back into it, the more fun you'll have. Follow the instructions line by line for successful install.

So far so gut! Can I add the DBSM on top of it or, will I have problems?

Worth checking the posts on this thread

Hi Fearless
IIRC fitzcarraldo is running DBSM.
I seem to remember Vecko saying something about removing the sh.sdl speech file.
You will need to use TDW's Options File Editor Viewer to customize some of the keyboard keys as they have different functions in DBSM to TWOS.

Yes, I use Stormy´s DBSM mod (not the original DBSM), and replaced the sh.sdl of Stormy with the same file from TWoS. Also, you need OFEV to remap some keys.

In my installation is working fine.

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

Thanks THEBERBSTER and fitzcarraldo. Can you advise which keys need remapping, I'll have a go changing it?

Thanks anyway guys, The links for Stormy's DBSM no longer work, Tried downloading it.

First of all thanks for your amazing work!!!
He took me to play SH5 again..
A question...
Nights are too dark for my taste
I wonder if it's possible to brighten up them someway..

Hi Fearlrss
I am not using DBSM but I am using Church's keyboard mod which I believe has the same key mapping.
I have never liked the W-A-S-D keys for movement.
C > is now Crash Dive not the Compass so click on the Compass Bar otherwise you will Crash Dive.
Not a problem as I have moved the Compass above the Message Box, which I leave open as it is out of the way.
I > Torpedo load and Radio Messages share the same key.
F > New key for Radio Messages.
T > Teleporting and Radio share the same key.
Y > New key for Teleporting.
Z > Silent Running key is now Nearest Contact which gives you an accurate hydrophone bearing, very useful if you like using the 4 bearing method.
F8 > Is now the Default Silent Running key and brings up 2 icons so I use the Chief Engineer, not a problem.
J > is Decoys so do not press.
There may be the odd one i have missed, I am sure you will spot any other differences quite quickly.

Is there a graphic file which shows what the keys do in WoS? I remember seeing something like that in one of the SH4 Mods and it was enormously helpful for me to print that out and keep it nearby as a handy reference.

There is somewhere in the mod dir. But you can get it easily by showing help in game by F1 and print screen

Hi all
is this mod (Old Style Explosions) compatible?

Thanks

Thanks - Indeed there is a nice graphic available with F1, but print screen does not work from within the game. How can I get a screen capture? Do you have to run it in a window or something?

There is a key for screen capture. See with F1 the keymap. I don´t remember the key because I use Fraps for captures.

Good luck!

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

Still no luck. F1 shows the keyboard and it says Ctrl+F11 will do a screen capture. But when you do that and toggle out of SH5 to paste it someplace, there's nothing there. When you load up Uplay, it says the F12 key will take screen shots and put them in the Users/(name)/Pictures/Uplay folder, but that doesn't work either. Gah.

Nothing in the game folder? I mean SH5 folder - main folder of the game.

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

a-HAH!!! Sure enough, that's where they are - right in the main SH5 game folder. Many thanks! :salute:

Good hunting and good shots!

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

Yeah and share some of your pics here at sh5/screenshots ;-)

Love the mod made me get back into SH5 (well that and the HMS Marulken game :p )

Question about the missions.

You request mission at the bunker right (the flotilla guy)
So this is about the scapa flow one kinda confused about dates here

I did the Baltic thing, sunk the task force, checked the date when the next mission is available and decided to wreck some more havoc as Kiel wasn't available yet. And sunk some more poor Polish sailors, arrived at Kiel on September 5 just after midnight. Went to the bar, got drunk, passed out, reported back to the flotilla guy

Choose new mission: (only one available is the eastern british coastal mission) As i sail out the other mission appear (scapa flow an the north western approaches)

So the scapa flow one, it becomes available on September 10 correct? and deadline is October 15th

When i depart in Kiel it is September 29th meaning i got a nice shore leave of 20+ days

Now Do i still can go to scapa flow do the mission? Without requesting the mission in the bunker, or is it pretty much GG on that mission because i didn't selected/requested it in the bunker?

(if i re dock and request the mission i pretty much loose the window of opportunity on that mission as i probably will be stuck in Kiel for another 20 something days meaning departure after October 15 and 40 something days lost in total)

Or do i literally have to sail around for 1 more week before Kiel harbor untill scapa flow is available and then dock my boat and then request the mission?
