SH5 Mod Guide for Beginners

Hi Peter
I have tried getting depth under the keel by using both the icon and the navigator.Both caused a CTD.
Tried an historical mission and still got ctd.
It has happened everytime .

Hi Mel

It will be a mod issue.

Post your mod list again.

Before you do use my tutorial post #28

The first section shows you all the mods.

Look at the next section and check that they are all installed/enabled correctly.

Hi Mel

Quote > All mods are showing as installed correctly and this is the only part I understand.

That's all you need to know.

My suspicions are around this below mod?
NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_WWIIInterface_by_naights
I am not sure what it does.

Also for now also remove these 2 below as well.
Manos Scopes-Core Files
Manos Scopes-Optional-Black BackGround

Because we do not know where the problem is it is easier to use mep files.

By creating different mod lists you will not need to manually keep disabling and enabling mods.

My tutorial posts #124-125-139-140 are all mep file tutorials and will be of help.

Basically you need to do this.

In JSGME tasks you need to save a mod profile.

This will create a mep file. (Mep file 1)

Copy and paste it in a blank space.

Rename it (Mep file 2)

Go in to mep file 2

Delete the 3 mods.

Remove any empty lines/spaces.

Put the mouse curser at the end of the last mod.

Press the Del key.

This will make sure there is not a empty line under it.

Go to file.

Go to save.

Your curser should still be showing at the end of the last mod.

Exit.

In JSGME go to tasks and load mod profile.

This is mep file 2.

Your original mod list is secure in mep file 1.

Peter

Hi Peter
Removed the mods as suggested still got ctd.
Removed another manos scope patch mod and still got ctd.
Any ideas?
Thanks Mel

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Mel

What does this mod do?
Did you remove it?
NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_WWIIInterface_by_naights

With the mods already removed so far.

Make a copy of Mep file 2.

Rename it Mep file 3.

Remove these 2 mods from mep file 3.
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2.2 Patch

Do not leave empty lines or spaces.

Place the mouse curser at the end of the last mod

Go to file.

Go to save.

JSGME > Tasks > Load mod profile > Mep file 3

Start a new career in a different name.

Do not worry at this point about the bubbles on the crew heads, that can be sorted.

What are your computer specs?

It is worth installing this in you main SH5 folder.

Comes with full simple instructions.

Antilag By Kegetys > Curing Lagging - Stutter - Seizures

Hi Peter
I removed the WWII interface mod.
My computer specs are:
GPU GeForce GTX 750Ti 2gb memory
CPU AMD Athlon II X2250 processor
4gb ram
Windows 7 Home Premium operating system
Haven't tried removing the steel viking interior mods yet.

Hi Mel

A 2gb gpu is probably now the minimum requirement to run SH5.

There are some posts kicking around Subsim that can point you in the right direction to help reduce the gpu load.

It is interesting that you said you could run stock ok.
Stock = minimum load
Running with your mod list = game problem.

If you read the documents that come with this mod then I would suspect that these are heavy on resources.
Replaces these
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.2.2 Patch

With this mod > first folder only
JSGME position is 1
NDB,NDH OM#1 - No Dialog Indicator

You do not have the resources to run DynEnv mods with high resolutions.
High resolution mods should only be used with a top spec computer.

If you still want to retain these mods then change to low resolution and enable in numerical order.
Personally I would just run these 2 below in JSGME positions 2 and 3 and see how you get on.
DynEnv v2.9 - 1. Main Mod
DynEnv v2.9 - 2. Main Mod Low Resolution Patch < In 2nd folder

Peter

Hi Peter
Solved the issue.I had not enabled a patch to do with depth under the keel correctly in GFP.
Thanks for all your help.
Regards Mel

Hi Peter
Sorry to bother you again but I have a problem.
When I load a saved game most times everything has been fine except occasionally the depth under keel request only produces a ping and no verbal or written report and also the verbal acknowledgement of course changes etc. does not occur.
If I exit and reload the same saved game the problem has been remedied in the past ,however recently this has not worked and the above problems persist.
Any ideas?
Regards Mel

Awesome mod guide.. Any mods for changing dialog/crew story options? Would like to have more convo options to choose from and they should update more often.

Hey everyone like

i am new to this, so please baer with me.

first of all i will like to thank any quick replys....

i have the steam version of SH5, have been thinking on putting some mods, especially the ones that get me closer to the real deal.
please please recommend the most real ones and hard ones so i get to do every calculation on every chase

also i have some little problems when trying to start the game....just the intro video and then closes....i guess it is because of windows 10 issues, at the moment have not been able to solve it, every solution i get is for an older version of windows.

many thanks again
