Hi Tom

If there was no tonnage bar and I am referring to OHII you would not know what (tonnage/ships) would be needed unless you looked in the files.

If I remember correctly Stock does show you what you need to do and possibly the Lite Campaign also.

Without the tonnage bar you would just carry on sinking and re-supplying until the New Mission appeared on the map.

I am calling it Mission as that is what you request from the Flotilla Leader.

I would be inclined to call the Patrol Area the Grid Reference within the Mission or the area around the Yellow Icon.

If you failed all the Missions your loss would be bonus points and medals.

Whether promotions are involved I do not know as I have never been far enough in to the game to find out.

There is a boat upgrade during the Eastern British Coastal Waters when you go back to re-supply.

The game would continue to advance whatever you were doing in it as everything is date controlled.

End the Patrol and you see that Patrol name comes up again.

You can end the Patrol every time you re-supply.

But you do not start a New Mission as you are already in it.

The Mission only finishes when it drops off the map even though you may have completed it early.

It confuses many as they do not understand why they have not got a New Mission showing on the map.

Hi vdr

I made one change in the OFEV to the clock from 8 to 1024 and made no difference.

It still opened on 8.

Peter

i can't test now but can you change anything at all, like ui style or something? Because if dont, you must be doing something wröng.

Breaking the fortress

Hi again,

Im really stuck at the Breaking the fortress mission. I have played it before on the vanilla version and i found a capital ship to sink. This time there are no where to be seen. Ive spent 2 hours in that bay now. Cheating useing the external cam. But no capital ship. Ive come to the point that im searching for a skip mission cheat. Can anyone help?

Hi natwil

Might be of some help, just my notes.

I think the square is the one in the the bay!

My attack position was I laid up in the lagoon during the day and came out in the evening turning left and hugged the coast line.

There is a merchant opposite the entrance to the port moored that I had to pass and rounded it and came through between him and the coast on the left side.

The first BB is surprising close to the coast on the left.

The other BB is a short distance further up and off to the right.

Hi Guys. I need your help, im getting some CTD's right after i enable the "wolves of steel 1.03", on the welcome screen the red bar only get's to half of it and then it crashes. This doesn't happen on the stock SH5 with the 1.20 patch. It's a clean install, and even the pc was been formated right now and have all the drivers updated.

Here are my computer specs

Hi vdr

Don't forget our discussion is about making changes or a change with the main mod enabled.

No problem with the main mod disabled.

That is exactly what I ment, can you make any change at all with the mod ENABLED? UI style for example.

No.

Peter

Heh, you're editing wrong options file then. Check step 7...

Hi vdr

Checked out Step 7.

I am running it as a stand-alone and not within SH5.

We both set the same path for menu.txt

We both set the same data/scripts/menu for TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py

You do it from the inside and I do it from the outside that is the only difference.

So it looks like if your running it inside then you can change it with disabling.

we have to use 7 zip?:06: mine seem fine... I just extracted with winrar.. the suffix was .rar...

I am presently doing the Total Germany campaign on the Eastern British Coastal Waters mission.

I was given grid AN7932 to patrol for 48 hours with a patrol radius of 80 kilometers.

After getting 2 Merchants in the patrol area and 72 hours later, there has been no reposition order.

I decided to head up to Scapa Flow before the mission end date, got the Capital ships and then headed back to the waters inside the EBCW map line.

I'm just wondering if lapsed time triggers the reposition order or is it the 70k tonnage requirement? (AN7932 is a fair way South of the EBCW red line area of operations)

Also escaping from Scapa Flow, the boat was nearly lost from damage due to an air attack. (the pilots have radar vision if the weather was anything to go by!):hmmm:

After several days of repairs, the boat is in sort of working order except every single analogue gauge is broken with all the needles pointing to the 12o'clock position.

Does anyone know what system controls all of these gauges and are they repairable without having to return to base?

Your thoughts on these question would be appreciated.......Regards :salute:

The first time i've used this megamod i also used winrar and didn't had any problems with it. But now, i've formatted my PC, and only after extract the files with 7Zip i could get the mod to work.

Hi all!!

This megamod is fantastic. But i would like to change one option in my game. i would like to have the ship identification button in the officer's bar. ¿is there any way?. I moddified some options with de optionsviewer to configure as i like, but i dont find how to put this buttton operative :(

Anyone knows if using Rongels lifeboat mod breaks something? Apparently not but i would like to confirm.
