Did you update your stock game to v1.2.0?

Try new v2.2 test installer. It should be piece of cake even for complete SH newby...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=236582

Hi K
When your Enigma machine shows a different year to your radio message just use your mouse scroll wheel over the year showing and then you can change the year..

By the way Peter, I tested new TWoS installer with AVG and while the AV will actually check all the extracted files and activated sript commands during the installation of the mod, it will certainly not insist on uploading of the entire installer for the analysis...:yep:

The Wolves of Steel v2.2 - ready for download (Steam v1.2.0 compatible)
 


Preivious v2.0.0 to v2.1.2 changelogs:
 
The Wolves of Steel v2.0.0

v2.0.1
- Few small fixes in fishing boats, common and "Royal Oak" campaign layers.

- Lowered water reflections in order to reduce reflections flickering when looking at distant (dat, imported) objects.
- Names.cfg, few ship class/names tweaks.
- Small Replenishment Oiler (Small Oiler's upgraded twin/clone) present in TF with capital ships (required for realistic AI TF behavior).
- Currently installed TWoS version visible in main menu.
- Disabled AI escorts ability to detect surfaced targets with their hydrophone up until late 1942/early 1943 at which point most of in-game escorts will be equipped with on board radar anyway. This should make early war night surface engagements somewhat easier and more realistic ("TWoS Escorts_No Hyd on Surface_Testing" optional addon is not needed anymore).

- Dynamic Environment 2.9 realistic colors and env config files.

Request bearings from your radioman if you find your self "lost in the fog". Radio beacons will be active several hours per day once the port is captured by axis forces and their location can be seen in your nav map. (will became visible in your next campaign chapter)

@Vecko:

Is this the same as the 2.2.0 "test"? I installed the test version yesterday and I don´t want to uninstall/reinstall SH5 if this is the same.

Many thanks for all the support and work.

Great. It´s easy to reinstall SH5 with TWoS, and my savegames are in the UBI cloud, but it is tedious to configure OFEV with my own settings. Continuing now HT, August 1940, all OK.

Many thanks!

Thanks, Can I count on additional optional mod's?
For a moment after uploading the mod,night was really dark, and then in a minute it became clear as in December day. Can you darken the night to make it more realistic?:Kaleun_Cheers::salute:

Are you sure? Most of the time people complains that the nights are too dark. :hmmm: What do you mean by "and then in a minute it became clear as in December day". Screenshot?

Why don't you use Options Migrater tool found in data/Applications folder?:hmm2:

You can restore your own setting within a seconds...:yep:

leeszaj 02-13-18 01:18 PM

Yes, I'm sure.
Probably most of them are playing in a highly exposed environment. Before that, I mentioned the possibility of darkening the night in original mod dyn.env2.9. The nights are realistically dark. I realize that this makes it difficult to detect and identify, but it is life.

If you like, you can use optional DynEnv2.9 mod for darker nights, it should be compatible.

leeszaj 02-13-18 01:32 PM

I tried but it is not stable. It threw me to the desktop
That's why I am asking for an additional stable mod. It's difficult to play honestly when you see an enemy from many kilometers and he does not.
