[REL]The Wolves of Steel - SH5 Megamod

[vdr1981]

I've uploaded new version of plotting tools fix which also contains Gap's fix for U-mark...

Install it anywhere after the main mod, you can remove previous version if you like but it's not necessary...

Hey Sjizzle!

Those are files and folders from TDW generic patcher and the only thing one have to do is to install it properly, I don't see any problems with that. Maybe I didn't understand you correctly?

looks good so far, ok on my first mission i had see this 2 polish destroyers. one torpedo had hit one and he burnes and after a while the stern had sunk .... so the destroyer had stand in the half in the water. but the sea was on the place ~150m deep.

ok here we go ...

on the whole forum we say don not enable the patcher vith the mod enabler cos is stand allone aplication here on your mega mod the patcher is inside of the your mega mod main folder.... there also a folder wich on is called MODS inside of that folder are other mods too ...some ppl will be damn confiused
take a look a this print screen

Everything is looking good now. I don't know what happened with the .py file. I just reinstalled again and everything worked this time.

It doesn't matter if patcher is copied with JSGME or manually or placed anywhere on hard drive as long as user knows how to enable it properly nad correctly patch SH5.exe. Now, I assumed that everyone already know how to use JSGME or TDW generic patcher because those are two fundamental stuffs when it comes to SH5.
Are you suggesting that it could better to place all of patcher's files and folders in one folder or to remove it completely?
Do you think it would be good idea to place link to the description in the first post how to use TDW patcher?

yup is a good ideea to place a link ... and this is only my opinion remove the MODS folder from there cos somebody will enable them and then will come here cos have cd's with the megamod

I think it's best to exclude TDW SH5 Patcher from the Wolfs of Steel Megamod.

Basic layout of the 1st post of this thread, imo first should be to tell the players how to properly install and patch SH5 to v1.2.
Include a hint, on where to find the Gameupdater, in case users can't succeed in patching to v1.2.
(for example..:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\SH5\Support\GameUpdater).

This will be about the same for both dvd- and steam-version.

Then a hint for the steam-users to skip the following section (TDW's Patcher), and continue with the rest of the setup.

Then that following section, which should be a download-link and a link to TDW's Patcher topic.

This way, everyone will know where to look, and how to install and apply.
And every WoS Megamod player will use the same procedure.

[THE_MASK]

or a hint for steam users to skip SH5 altogether .

Thanks for trying to make this gigantic mega mod easier without CTDs for the lesser experienced subsimmers. I knew you would be bombarded with more questions relevant to other mods eventually. Others just need to read the documentation first, instead of taking the shortcut of asking others first and not trying themselves.

Refer them to the how to use TDW patcher links at the bottom of post #1 of the [TEC] SH5.exe patcher thread.

Hi to you - many thanks for a great mod, looks really good, the problem is the install process- I installed Jonesoft enabler but not sure if I placed it in the right place, also copied all the files into the data section of the game, over writing as I went and stuck the patches and main mod into Jonesoft -

And nothing happens, game wont open and I dont know whats going on, on top of which I got this dame Uplay thing which I have no idea what to do with - I am really sorry but can you be a little more explicit with exactly what part of the mod goes where and activated when and how, I'm sorry if this sounds really lame but I have no idea, I think you may have assumed more IT knowledge on the part of users than many possess

In a nut shell HELP!!

Although the mod it self is intended for average SH player you may find it very "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".
