SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - [REL]The Wolves of Steel

hello Peter, I usually make changes with the OFEV without disabling any mods. Just make sure to use the correct file..C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\data\Scripts\Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py and overwrite this file to save any new changes. You just have to remember to copy and paste this saved file back into the MODS folder C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\1. The Wolves of Steel 1.06\data\Scripts\Menu if you want to reactivate the mod and keep the changes made with the OFEV. Just another way to achieve the same thing :yep:

I didn't mention this possibility in my instructions because most of TWoS players don't know a thing about SH files dependencies and those who know will figure out this for them selves pretty quickly.

Note Kevin that it is not recommend to simple copy/paste options file. You have Options File Migration tool for that...

I wanted to see what you think of the mod

DynEnv v2.9 - 5.c Ambient Settings - Darker Nights-No Murky Waters that someone else brought up.

Is there a reason this is not recommended? Is it a stability issue? I have not tried it yet myself but it looks interesting.

Simple environmental optional addon which shouldn't cause any problems and it can be enabled anytime. I don't use "No murky water" in TWoS because the water is too much transparent when looked from above and there are some really ugly side effects in shallow waters...Darker nights is already part of TWoS IIRC.

I was hoping to depart for the Mediterranean from Lorient but no such luck! :o

Well just for something different...I'm going to attempt getting through the Straits of Dover just for the challenge! :D

Hi Kevin
Like yourself and Vecko I also use this method especially handy if you only need to make one change.
There are many who do not have our experience so I prefer to only mention the safe way.
The py file contains a lot of data so not for diving into so as to speak unless you know what you are doing.
Peter

Done everything like that. All changes I make will be saved, that is not my problem. But some hotkeys just can't be changed. I doubleclick on "enable" to disable them, but the window will not open. On other options I double click and a window will open to edit a number or to change from true to false etc. But some hotkeys can't be changed. If I double click them nothing happens.

No other mods installed of course.

Hey Vecko if I have never said it before thank you for all your work. I brought up the "too many explosions and fires" problem I had and you came up with a optional solution right away. TWOS has really brought me over from SH3 to SH5.

Thanks again!:up::Kaleun_Salute:

THX alot Vecko, I clicked on the word "enabled" instead of the word "hotkey".

This may help you to do a bit of testing for your self if you like...

Code:

BAZA_FX_FocFum_mic         fires with little bit of smoke

BAZA_FX_Splinter_fire      fireball explosion, no fires or smoke

BAZA_FX_Explozie_mica      a kind of firework explosion, no fires or smoke

BAZA_FX_scantei_explozie   a kind of firework explosion, with kind of shock wave effect, no fire or smoke

BAZA_FX_Foc                large fire, no smoke

BAZA_FX_Fum_explozie       large dense black smoke, dull heat in smoke's base 

BAZA_FX_baza_explozie      small "puff" explosions, no smoke or fire

BAZA_FX_Explozie           large tanker-like fireball explosions
