I just experimented a little more. It seems that I may have indeed been doing it correctly it's just that one of the settings I had changed, and the one I was using to test that my changes were applying, doesn't seem to work.

As I understand it, there is a setting that is meant to re-enable the 3d ships when you zoom in to visual range which the mod disables. However, the mod disables these ships whether you change the setting or not.

I have disabled some of the other functions of the mod and they do seem to have had an effect.

Disable3DRenderingOnMap

This setting seems to disable the 3d rendering whether set to True or False.

This setting does not work for me either. Thank you for making a post about this.

Ahh! so I'm not the only one then.

Continuing the discussion from the mod comments.

It seems that the mod is loading correctly:
At the end of the log, however, I found this:
After another test with the same settings, I found this:
I could not get these errors to appear in the log with Disable3DRenderingOnMap set to True.

Setting DisableRangeCircles to True gets rid of the range circles and the water around the boat in the map view, resulting in the blank paper map you see when you're underwater. Disable3DRenderingOnMap makes no difference to the map visuals, which I don't believe is intended.

Hope this helps!

log suggests that the mod has loaded normally.



Disable3DRenderingOnMap is supposed to hide the water and 3d models on the map when youre surfaced.

DisableRangeCircles is supposed to only remove the dash-lined sensors range circles but not the water and models.

This works for me as expected.
Maybe it is interfering with another mod?

Can you share your active mods list?

And also you can try clearing the cache.
Delete all files inside Temp, Cache and DataSheets folders in your
appdata\locallow\Deep Water Studio\UBOAT
then start the game. The game will create fresh cache files then. Sometimes there are issues with older cached files causing weird behaviour.

Let me know if that fixed the issues for you.

The Can't generate mesh thing I don't know what that means, it also comes up sometimes in vanilla game. It seems notto be an error, but some renderer warning suggesting that it can't find some font probably for rendering text. I doubt it is related to the mod, as the mod would log its errors with its own prefix.

To find errors search the log for "Exception"

Thanks for looking into this. I tested the game again with all mods disabled except for No Spoilers, and I even deleted the folders you suggested. The terrain and ships are still not rendered in the map view, not even on a brand new save.

Log didn't have any exceptions, but there was this, don't think it's relevant though:
As well as the "can't generate mesh" message I mentioned before.

I used the following settings in the mod config:
If you manage to get the map working so that ships, terrain and water are all visible, please share your settings. I'd like to retain them while also getting the scaled contact arcs this mod offers.

Hello and thank you for replying to us.

In my experience the mod is not hiding the water but it is hiding the 3d ships.

Here is the log file. I'm new to this game so unsure if this is the file you are looking for. However, I see two exceptions at the top. Unsure what mod they are referring to.

I will disable all other mods and see if the issue goes away and if it does I will try to isolate the mod causing the problem.

@ждун

I have removed all other modes and cleared the files you suggest and the problem still persists. I can zoom in and see the sea but the 3d ships are not there. I can see the wake of the ship on the water but no ships at all.

I have this same exact issue, kindof sad there is no resolution. I wanted to try this mod but retain the 3d map view, however editing the config leads to this weird bug in which the ships will not render, but you can see their wakes on the water
