go to camera bar for example and click on the +

Thank you for spoon feeding me this, Sober. That's what I need so I don't mess up anything.

You are awesome VDR.
Thanks alot for taking the time to do this. I really appreciate it.
(Is it also possible to edit the objective that i can not complete to completed, due to saving within the objective zone?)

A couple of things I'm noticing:

Commands seem to be ignored, at least course changes, when you are at a TC greater than one.

It really stinks crawling along at 64 TC every time a friendly ship is in sight. I tried editing main.cfg to give me a higher TC in travel mode but it still kicks out down to 1 if you hit 128 TC.

Steve I think there is a setting in Tdwuseroptions if contact within x km and over xtc will boot to 1tc. The default setting is 20000m. If you change it to, say, 1500m, 1tc will only trigger when any contact incl friendliest is within 1500m

Pay attention what will happen when you sink neutral ship close to EBCW . I haven't tested that one yet...

Where do I see these rating points?

Unfortunately no, just don't reload until mission is completed ( I'm talking about small patrol for 48 hours missions )...

Copy/paste these settings back into your Campaign.cfg file and continue campaign from the same gamesave...

Hi!

I really appreciate that you keep doing this great work instead of UBI throwing logs under players feet every now and then.

I decided to reinstall SH5 and set sail once more.

After sorting some initial CTD's I was able to successfully intercept Polish Task Force, and (as usual) wreak havoc in ports to complete the secondary objective. Both objectives in Baltic Operations (the mission I requested at the start) were marked as Completed (green text).

Next, I waited some time to enter Kiel on 4th September (so I can request British East Coast mission). Now, I have this new mission (and others, as by starting date) active, but I could select Baltic Operations again on the briefing in Kiel, and when I exit the game I see it listed as Incomplete.

Should I worry about that, did I do something wrong and broke the campaign progress? Also, is it necesseray to wait before sailing to port in order to let "new" missions to activate?

Just wanted to pop back in and say my problems with silent running seemed to be ALT-TAB related. I will never ALT-TAB this game again, since who knows what else breaks when doing it.

And another hearty thanks to all involved in this mod community. Finally, FINALLY, I feel like I can really get into this game now.

Two weeks ago I would have said SH3GWX was the best SH experience. But some of the things TDW et. al. has done with this game are truly amazing. I do hope for the return of his abilities!

Bravo SUBSIM! Bravo!

Hold your horses there, do not let euphoria take you...

SH5 still has many "cold showers" just waiting in darkens...

But again, it's playable at least...

This is of course after I have applied the updates to the mod pack, right? Excuse me for being stupid .

Silent hunter 5\data\Cfg\Basic afaik . New campaign start if altering anything here afaik .
[RENOWN]
RenownReachGridObjCompleted=500
RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=200
CompletedPatrol=100
NEUTRAL=-1
ALLIED=1
AXIS=-10
WrongShipSunk=-5000
FirstRankRenown=1000
SecondRankRenown=3500

Should be more like
[RENOWN]
RenownReachGridObjCompleted=500
RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=200
CompletedPatrol=100
NEUTRAL=-2500
ALLIED=1
AXIS=-5000

WrongShipSunk=-5000 no idea what WrongShipSunk refers to .
FirstRankRenown=1000
SecondRankRenown=3500

Seems like yet another broken fetaure. It is logical to me that the values highlighted by Sober should be multipliers. I.e. by sinking a neutral/axis ship we should get a negative reward equal to the reward set in that unit's cfg file times a -1/-10 factor, or whatever NEUTRAL/AXIS rewards are set to, in basic cfg file. But the report by Vecko seems to prove that unlike the ALLIED setting, the latter are treated as absolute numbers.

Thanks, I will look into that. I don't know how to use Tdwuseroptions but I will poke around.

Thank you!
I have installed Patch 5 + hotfix 2. Following install instruction for the hotfix, you say:
2.Start TDW's genericpatcher.exe and restore Snapshot found in "SH5/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0/Snapshot" folder.
This is a little unclear to me, do I have to do this after you fixed my campaign file?

THEBERBSTER · 05-06-15, 02:27 PM

Hi Steve

If you have installed the Options File Editor Viewer go to my tutorial Post #6 and follow from number 32.

You can restore snapshot anytime you like...
