Ouch. I take it no hits by the coastal battery? They will fire at longer ranges now but not as accurate. The sniper like fire always bugged me, still a threat.

Nice! On the convoy. Let us know how that one goes. I smell a possible night surface attack coming.

Nominated Post: [REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

It's been very hard for me to witnessing everyday frustrations of new SH5 captains and to read the same threads month after month, year after year, over and over again...I hope that something like this will make "life" at least a bit easier for newcomers or for anyone else who doesn't have much free time or to spend countless hours improving and searching for working modlist.
Although the mod it self is intended for average SH player you may find it somewhat "hardcore". Real navigation will make your job much harder and you'll find your submarine very vulnerable to enemy fire and annoyingly sluggish and slow underwater. Your "tonnage" will become much more appreciated with this expansion.

*If you have recognized your mod and from some reason you don't want your mod included in the Megamod please let me know and I'll react immediately!
*DO NOT add any additional mods if you are not 100% sure what you are doing! Most of the standalone mods are incompatible with this expansion .

*DO NOT add any additional mods if you are not 100% sure what you are doing or you may induce all kind of stability and gameplay related issues!
Keep in mind that most of the standalone mods outhere are incompatible with this expansion.
Please don't discuss in this thread any potential issues caused by your own custom modlists and unsupported mods.
Also, make sure to pay special attention to FAQ and Tips section and feel free to ask in this thread for any additional elucidation.

*Full game reinstallation is highly recommended when replacing old with new megamod version (for example v2.1.x to v2.2.x) !
TWoS v2.2.x should be gamesave compatible with v2.0.1 and newer although there's a possibility that some changes won't be visible until your next fresh career start or advancement to the next campaign chapter (this depends largely of your TWoS version at the moment of your career start)...

Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 Final

Download link


Hi all, captains !!

This is the final version of the Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 Final, in which there was a number of changes, both large and small. Has been added to the console and enhanced devices. The navigation and attack maps are now visible at the bottom edge. Added gramophone, which is always at the top of the console for easy access. Change the location of AOB devices. Added additional icons on the left pane crops up. UZO now has zoom from x6 to x10. So as you will find some other changes and amendments, some of them are shown in the screenshots.
During testing, performance problems were identified with the mods as WBs USAM v69.61.1, as well as the GWX 3 Wilhemshafen, St Naz, Schluese and xtra ships V7. The reasons are not fully identified and are not entirely clear, perhaps somewhere not coincide with a resolution of 1920x1080 or d3d9.dll with some models of units or their texture. Nothing yet on this issue I can not truthfully say. With stock GWX and SH3 vanilla works flawlessly. In general, the case of each, use the GUI or not. In the future, I will look for reasons CTD and with the above mods.
Previous version Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 can be downloaded from SH3COMMUNITYMODS (User: Maik, Password: Woelfe), screenshots are for illustrative purposes.

Compatibility with other megamods not checked.

All the best and good luck !!

README

1. Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 Final is established through JSGME.
2. In the documentation folder additional mods (generally graphic). To copy in the MODS folder and to use at will. Only amendment to the relation of the Shortcuts for German U-Boats Compilation Mod folder..... It is actual only for mods of German U-Boats Compilation.
3. The SH3 Commander folder for those who uses SH3 Commander from JoneSoft. The folder merges with the main folder of the program. It not only for mods of German U-Boats Compilation, more definitely not for it (but works and with it). There are files for display of numbers of torpedo tubes for each type of the boat, otherwise, you would observe only a pure black circle on the device TDC. It as in OLC GUI, only I in menu_1024_768.ini copied everything on the and a lot of things anew, therefore this SH3 Commander folder only for mods of Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 Final.
4. I used the d3d9.dll and d3d9.ini files from mods of WideScreen 1920x1080 Project from vanjast, which author is Seeadler. I don't bear responsibility for them as they were created not by me. Therefore, I to predict the reasons of some distortions or other bugs in many respects not in forces. Here most likely each user which can be connected with the hardware of the computer or other nuances can have different reasons. My work in mods is an adjustment and a correcting of graphic files and other menus under permission 1920x1080, and also some part of own additions and some corrections from mods of Widescreen GUI for GWX (Conus), which formed a basis of this work.

Hi all !!

This mod was created on the basis of Conus' SH3GWXWS 2.3 1360x768 with subsequent global changes under
resolution of 1920x1080. Were processed image files, and added with a residence permit in menu_1024_768.ini
and Dials.cfg, where too much has changed. The mod includes developments Hitman, ONELIFECRISIS, makman94, Tycho
and vanjast, for a huge thanks to them.

For variety, add some optional files, use as desired.

In the future, I would not mind someone else using developments and alterations of this mod, all in your hands.

Happy hunting !!

Woah sorry for not responding here my friends, I somehow missed all the recent messages :arrgh!: !!

Nice work, can I put the link in the description of this mod? :)

It can be a texture, it can be a lighting issue... to be honest I don't remember what's making this base white. Does it happen as well if you exclude all the texture files from my mod?

If I understand you correctly - do you want to "mount" the ladder on the other side of the hatch like here shown in the picture?



(sorry for the old screenshot, I don't have any newer)

I think you can easily change view clipping in your C4D settings (a tutorial below):


I've always used Autodesk 3dsmax for SH5 modding and I've always been happy with it.

Sure man, do whatever you want with my mod! You can even re-release it if you want to, just credit me as the "original" author (and the others I credited of course) :03:

Nominated Post: Quarrels of forum participants

Hello everyone) We all noticed that the topic of the conflict in Ukraine began to cause quarrels and disputes at a forum dedicated exclusively to submarines and the history of 1941-1945. I want to ask all of us not to quarrel and not to engage in confrontation with each other. There are not so many of us - people who love the SH3-SH5 theme and are trying to make it better. In any case, we can be counted on the fingers. This is counterproductive for all of us. We will lose much more if we all quarrel with each other and blame each other for things that we cannot influence in any way. I hope we will all have many more completed common projects. Projects that are created not by countries but by people. Projects that will remain after us and that will be played in 20 years or more.

What I highlighted in "Orange" above is the main problem you are having. Windows is not friendly at all to the old DirectX v9 games, and especially to "modded" games. The Program Files folders are 'protected' by Windows, and as such, it will not allow any editing of what are perceived to be "system" files, such as anything with an ini or cfg extension, among others. You do not have a complete mod activation is the main trouble. Your mod list itself should be fine. What I would do is use JSGME and de-activate all of your mods. Then navigate into the Program Files (x86) folder and select the "Ubisoft" folder below it. Press and hold the <Ctrl> key while you press the <C> key, which will copy the folder and all below it. Now navigate to the root C:\ drive, and paste the folder and its contents with a <Ctrl><V> key combination. It will probably take a minute or several to copy everything over. This will leave the game in the Program Files (x86) folder for those times you want to play stock. But back to what is now hopefully a "C:\Ubisoft \Silent Hunter..." path, go into the downloads section here on SubSim, and get yourself MultiSH4. Put it inside your new "C:\Ubisoft \Silent Hunter..." folder and run it. In the little window it brings up, type a 3-character folder name for your Saves to go into, such a ODW or whatever yo want. The create yourself a desktop shortcut if you want, and point it to the new copy. Now activate the DW mods as you had them before, start the game, and make your settings match what you had. In theory, you should not have any more trouble... :salute:

ahoy FF,

can't answer your comparative questions as i have only dabbled in SH5 and have never ventured into KSD.

now, as for your other questions:
crew stations: as in previous releases, there are six/seven skills for a crewman and each skill is best used in one department. if you purchased SH4 it should come with some documentation on which skills are best for each compartment. if i type it all out here i would be dead by the time i finished. :03:

conning tower: command and sensor skills would probably fit the best.

flak guns: sometimes, the game will not present a Kaleun the most up-to-date list of upgrades at the time you are assigned a boat. you need to save, exit SH4, and then relaunch it and reload the savegame. you may see new options available. if they are not available after you have performed this, then whoever developed the mod has other availability dates for that equipment.

personally, i do not worry at all about flak guns when playing DW as it is a fool's errand. when you hear, "aircraft spotted", dive the boat to 50 m as quickly as you can. aircraft will pass by and then 15-30 minutes later they will make the return trip overhead. then you can surface. if you attempt to fight it out, no matter if you shoot the plane down or not, THAT aircraft will radio your position, course, speed, etc and his brothers will make an immediate and continuous effort to sink you. dive to 50m, stay quiet and undetected, live to sink ships.

good luck, Herr Kaleun!

Decided to use the Wolfpack interior for a series detailing the various components in each compartment. Note this is informational only and discusses the historical boat - not a guide on how to play the game.

For the first episode we look at the bow torpedo room:



For the second episode, we look at the chief petty officers’ and officers’ quarters:



For the third episode, we look at the components of the forward half of the control room:


For the fourth episode, we look at components in the after portion of the control room:


STAY TUNED FOR:

Conning Tower and Bridge

Petty Officers’ Quarters

Galley

Diesel Engine Room

E-Motor and Aft Torpedo Room

Radio and Sound Shacks (TBD based on when WP inserts models)

Enjoy!

Forum: Destroyer - The U-Boat Hunter

Nominated Member: Cobarus
Nominated Post: Link

Thank you. I have looked through the LOG file and it appears your case is a known issue between the Unity game engine and DirectX 11 on Windows 7 (and Windows 8.1). In the other cases I've come across when searching this issue, the game developers have needed to fix it on their end.

There are two things you can try on your end to see if they'll make a difference, however the first one is a temporary workaround that might get the game running, but could exhibit performance or gameplay issues.


Run the game with DirectX 10

See my attached screenshot for visual depiction of the following instructions.

1. Open the Steam application to the Destroyer The U-Boat Hunter main game page.
2. Click the gear icon on the right-hand side, located under the game's picture banner, and click Properties.
3. In the Launch Options section, either type in or copy/paste the following line: -force-feature-level-10-0
4. Close out of the Properties dialog and launch the game.

You can always switch back to DirectX 11 by following steps 1-3 again, and removing/backspacing the Launch Options line item.


Disable the Steam Overlay

On some occasions, the Steam Overlay can cause rendering issues on game launch. You can try disabling it, if it isn't already, to see if it makes a difference.

How-to—

Follow the above steps 1-2 to reach the game Properties dialog, and then uncheck the boxes next to both:

• Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game
• Use Desktop Game Theatre while SteamVR is active

Close the Properties dialog and launch the game.
