[REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

[The scorpion]

Thanks for the help, it's still not working so I have downloaded SH5 again and will try to mod it one at a time.
All I want is the officer icons and the teleport option would be good.

Hi.
I'm triying to play with this mod but it seems impossible...
i'm following the instructions of the first page of the post but when start a new career it takes a lot of time loading (loading screen with paints of ships and the little radar spinning) and then instant CTD
I tried to install it on two different sites, different hd but nothing changes. Without the mod the game runs with no problems. My system is windows 8.1 64bits. Monitor resolution of 1680x1050. My version is dl version from ubi, not steam. Ubi in offline mode.
¿Can someone help me?
Thanks

Q? the step you take to start a new campaign to create a career file so to change - from False to true .. do you Save it before exiting ? or do you just start another new campaign once you've loaded in the mods

1st start a campagne without mods installed. The tutorial starts, you are waking up in the bed. You don't need to finish the tutorial, just save and close the game as soon as you can.
2nd open the file and change the value to true.
3rd install your mods and start a new career. Delete the old savegame.

Enabling this Mod may have an adverse effect on you game
Should I still activate the 1.02 patch 5

[Dragon81]

Of course. The patch will overwrite some outdated files of the base mod.
Just press [OK] an go on.

[walsh2509]

Steps 1 change to the main cfg

[TIME COMPRESSION]
; The first value is the default one, the second value is used when 'travel mode' is activated.
; The two values should be separated by a comma.
; If only one value is specified, that value is used for both default and travel mode.
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=1,256
CriticalDamage=1,256
CrewEfficiency=128
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=32
FriendDetected=1
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=256
Particles=32
PrayState=1
HunterState=1
3DRender=512
Maximum=512

Step 2 next change to main cfg

[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes
;MenuEditor=Yes
;DebugScripts=Yes


File overwritten and saved.

Started game and new campaign came out and then changed the

[CareerProgress]
ProgressID=Campaign-2014-09-09_0552
ProgressDate=19390831
CampaignID=TotalGermany39
HasCompletedTutorial=true

I then used the JSGME to install WOS 1.02 and then WOS 1.02 patch 5 and then the 16x9 res patch.

Start game, Das Boot flim running menu screen - I start new campaign and after a the load screen goes from BW to Colour moments later screen goes dark , music stops and I am kicked out to DT.


Anyone know what I've done wrong ?

[Dragon81]

You forgot Step 5 and 6.

[walsh2509]

I thought you only did those if you use these optional mods

*The Wolves of Steel 1.02 - TDW Real Navigation *The Wolves of Steel 1.02 - Realistic_Hydrophone_1_1 (Home thread) *The Wolves of Steel - *x* Resolution Patch (if needed)

which I didn't ... do you still need to do 5 and 6 even if you don't install those 2 optional mods ?

[Dragon81]

Why do you think that Step 5 and 6 are optional?
Only the three mod parts of Step 4 with the * are optional.

[walsh2509]

Still CTD , I put my disc in and load game and go through all the steps, I get to Step 5 and when I am clicking through the GenericPatcher to set paths to Silent Hunter 5 I get error msgs on each one saying each one isn't the one expected * ? Don't know if its because I only loaded WOS 1.2 and 1.2 patch 5 and the 16x9 res

* example - File C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter5\SHSim.act is different version than expected and its the same for each one I was going through ..

[Belgarion]

just wanted to say thx! I used to use sobers mega mod collection which I also got working just fine but this is way easier! thx a bunch!

I searched for ages because I was missing a button! the ship identification button which I guess you disabled.

so yay its working fine.
