Hello congratulations for this awsome mod i enjoy it very much just like gwx on sh3. I wanted to ask some questions:

1)When i click on chiefs engineer icon the commands increase repair rate and reduce flooding time are always greyed out.Is this a bug?

2)When i click on the snorkel icon it always says not available.Is there a special uboat on sh5 that only uses snorkel?

3)what is the difference between battle stations(watch officer icon) and f7 abilitty battle stations?

I think this is an intended fix cause of a silly system. Especially if moral is low and result is crew refuse to reduce flooding even if sinking is result.
Compensated for I think . Others might have more precise answer

Snorkel is equipment you can have instead of deckgun later. There is an upgrade chart you can look at ingame. However you can enable snorkel with the Option File Editor Viewer, but feel its kind of cheating (my opinion). Thats only change in OFEV you do WITH mods enabled.


Annoying stuff. Interesting findings here.

Some discussion about it from page 180-184. Ive only come to page 200 in catching up so might be more :D

Welcome to SubSim Wanshtain :sunny:

That means I don't have to modify it in the Editor because I have this option later in the game itself? E.G. 1943?

yup u will get the snorkel later in game as upgrade for U-boat ...

I found near of Scappa flow corvetes, which generates their sound of motor and as extra- sounds of sinking ship. It seems to be valid bug.

Why dont you start some other campaing, like HT or WA?:hmm2: WA is the best campaign in SH5...

Yes, if you disable manually "AI units falling trough sea floor" patch wia TDW Generic Pacther...


1/ Only when he's injured, chief engineer will not be able to organise and lead damage control team...Or when his moral/fatigue is low...

3/ battle stations(watch officer icon) is for gunners only, something like start/stop engagement. F7 BS command is the main command which can actually modify abilities (faster torpedo/weapons recharging, faster repairs ect, co2 build up...). Use them both...

Maybe those corvettes are damaged in shallow waters or something...No especial fix for glitches like those...

Hi fellow skippers!

I´ve read some posts above and realized that we have a new version of TWOS, is that right?

Probably I will reinstall SH5 and TWOS, but I´d like to know: is there a way so I can back up my generic patcher and TDW interface options?

Tks!

The generic patcher comes with a profile for TWoS that you apply during the install process.

For TDW User Options, follow the instructions precisely (linked from the install post). You can back up your current option set, if you saved it during setup, and overwrite the TDW User Options file. I've noticed that if you don't save the options with the same file name from the instructions, they don't apply when you re-apply the TWoS mods. YMMV.

As always, and I say this because I failed a few steps :/\\!!, follow the instructions precisely and all should work well, for both installation of TWoS and TDW options.

Really enjoying TWoS!

TDW's Generic File Patcher can be installed as a stand alone application outside of SH5.
All you need is the latest TWOS snapshot gps file.

TDW's Option file Editor Viewer can also be installed as a stand alone application outside of SH5.
The existing .py file can be found here.
Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Mods\The Wolves of Steel 1.05\data\Scripts\Menu
It is the last file in the list.
Mods should be disabled before making changes.

The advantage of these stand alone application options is they are not affected by re-installs etc., they just need their paths to be re-connected.

I have installation tutorials covering both of these applications for anyone interested.

4 days i tried to find any ship. And finally luck turned to me, and I met a Polish trader. But then came the Hering vultures and stoled my prey :D

For OFEV options you should use "Options Migrater" tool, located in the same folder as OFEV...:yep:

can't change realism options
 

Hi

Please help. I have an irritaiting problem with realism settings. At main menu I chose 100% realism, but I swith on the external and event cameras (yes it is 94% realism now, but I can't do anything about it, I just love to watch my u-boot in setting sun on external camera, or see the torpedo impact on event camera). After that when I chose new campain - on the screen with campain's windows - there is difficult level setting again, but without "custom" icon. I can have low, medium, high and realistic level. What is choosen in here, that is in the game. That means no cameras :down:

Why why why when I chose my realism settings on Main Menu, they are going to hell when I am starting new campain, where I can get only low, medium, high, realistic without any individual changes?

Anyone could help?

Thanks a lot and regards!

You can choose your custom settings in the bunker, Esc key=> Gameplay options...

Ignore the difficulty settings in the mission screen. Start your mission and when your avatar is visible at bunker then go to options and set your difficulties like you want to (like in the menu screen). Then save the game and play.:salute:

It works!!! Thanks, thanks a lot.:up:
