What's GWX?

[Stratos]

I saw that theres a update called GWX, it promises lots of changes but being semi-payware will like to know what exactly adds to the game and if exist a manual to download somewhere.
Thanks

P.S. Is there a minimum to donate in order to be able to download the patch? As I supose you can download as soon as you donate right?

[Fincuan]

The donation period was only for one week when it was released, which was a long time ago, and you can now get it completely free. Check the GWX sticky in the SH3 Mods forum for information and download links.

[melnibonian]

GWX is by far the best (in my opinion) supermod that exists now. It is making SH3 a true experience.

If you want to download it and get more information you can do it from here http://www.thegreywolves.com/ and no donation is required. The mod is absolutely free.

[Otto Heinzmeir]

Yea what Fincuan said. The thread is here.

GWX is one of the Uber mods. Great stuff!:up:

[irish1958]

A donation to SubSim won't hurt, however. This forum is largely responsible for the many mods, bringing together the developers and testers and supplying support without which they probably wouldn't have happened. The same is true for SH2 and its mods.
There is no minimum amount you may contribute to SubSim.

Thank's guys!! Just downloaded

[Laufen zum Ziel]

Even though it's free a donation does not hurt once in a while.
If it were not for this forum there wouldn't be any great mods
like GWX. Donations are what keep Subsim going.

GWX... Is what saved SH3 from the "Recycle Bin"

GWX... Is like mana from heaven

GWX... Is like an obsession

GWX....Is the reason for my divorce :har:

GWX .... Is why my kids run around the house yelling "Aaaaalaaaarrrrrm!!!"


Feel free to add to this...

[Otto Heinzmeir]

GWX is like the marshmellows in hot chocolate

GWX is thinking you'll play 2 hours and look up and its 4AM

GWX is being more aggressive!

[Oneshot/Onekill]

Playing SH3 without GWX AND SH3Cmdr is like bying a $100,000 car and having no money for gas. :har:

[Jimbuna]

GWX....Is like getting bit on the ar$e off a cabbage.

[TheDudTorpedo]

GWX....is the reason I reply volle Fahrt voraus when my wife asks me how soon I want my tea

Well DT, as Kapitan Phillips would know... We are ALL stuck with what God gives us.

Isn't that right, KP? :yep: :har:


Anyhoo, moving along...

GWX is... (for me) a preservation of history... and a journey back in time.

[goggles]

only the greatest mod ever made:arrgh!:

[Sharkley]

GWX is what make a good game great :salute:

[Bosje]

GWX...is the glint in the milkman's eye

seriously though, GWX makes me physically sweat, shout, cheer, cry, swear
never in the field of game modding was so much immersion owed by so many nerds to so few. or somesuch

welcome to the pack

[Yolo911]

I bought SH3 when it first came out, just like I did ALL of the subsims in the past. However I have not played it in a couple of years and I am behind in the mods and patching. I downloaded 1.4b. Is it a comprehensive patch or must 1.1-1.3 be applied also?
As far as GWX 3.0 is concerned, is there a trick to this? Are there numerous seperate downloads involved and if tht is the case how are they combined? I know that this may seem simple to people who live and breathe mods, it is pretty confusing for the average person. And I seem to remember something called JS???(forget the exact name) that is also necessary to make the mod work. I really didn't do mods in the past because of the added complications. Any assistance would be appreciated. I have been trying to ascertain this info on my own but I can't comprehend it. I'm 60 and I appreciate the work that goes into improvements but I just can't figure it out.
Thank you.

Then enjoy:D welcome

[Yolo911]

Thank you very much. I will try that now.

[JHuschke]

As much as I could tell you, I'll just make it short.
GWX (Grey Wolves Xpansion) is the best mod for Silent Hunter III ever to be made!

[GREY WOLF 3]

Thank you very much. I will try that now.

Your welcome:up:

[Sailor Steve]

I I'm 60 and I appreciate the work that goes into improvements but I just can't figure it out.
Right there with you, mate.

And WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

[Yolo911]

Thanks for the welcoming. When SH4 came out I read almost every post about it on this site and it convinced me to pass it up. I haven't been on this site since then. Last night I decide to dig out my SH3 disc and fire it up.
I downloaded GWX-3 but hit a bump in the road before I could install it. When I was applying the 1.4b upgrade almost immediately I received an error message:Unable to continue: sh3.msg: file missing. Do you fellows have any idea how to solve that one?

[Sailor Steve]

Are you using an old original SH3 or a new one? The new ones come already patched, and adding the patch again just screws it up.

By the way, when I said I was right there with you I meant in age. I'd say you have a little over a year on me.:rock:

[Yolo911]

II figured you meant age. By the way I noticed your Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club emblem. I spent my time there. Yankee Station, PIRAZ. On the USS Long Beach CGN-9.

No I have the orginal boxed version from 2005. I just installed it last night on this pc.

[Sailor Steve]

Awesome! USS Brinkley Bass (DD-887). Junior apprentice radioman.

And hmm. I don't know what the problem would be then. Is it the right patch (the US DVD version)? That does make a difference. Also sometimes removing and reinstalling the game will make it work. I don't like to remember how many times I've done that.

[andym]

GWX is exactly what your Mother warned you about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:har: :har: :har:

I will try to unistall and reinstall. If a miracle happens and I get it patched and GWX-3 in place I would like to talk to you about any additions you use to GWX-3 to make it more entertaining. I did check and it shows I am using the US version for DVD not downloads.

[andym]

I use the following mods.


GWX Intergrated orders
GWX 3.0 All weather guns
GWX alternate loadscreen
Thomsens Ships V3.1
Lifeboat and debris V3b
Manos environment pro v1.1
Big blue sub skin
Andym's Ammo Mod.

[TheDudTorpedo]

Hi Yolo911:

After you get GWX3.0 up and running, you will notice that JSGME (JScones Generic Mod Enabler) is also installed. This is a great utility that allows you to easily and painlessly switch on several mods as per your likening. It looks like this:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y286/goldenbollocks/ScreenHunter_01Mar150925.gif

As you can see, I use the 'Open Hatches' mod, the 'Damage' mod and the 'Lifeboats & Debris' mod - a great set of initial mods to turn on as a start. Here is a screenshot of both the 'Damage' and the 'Lifeboats & Debris' mod in action :yeah:

[Stratos]

Unfortunately is not there. Any other idea please?

[TheDudTorpedo]

Is there a readme.txt file in the installation folder? That give you some version information?

[Stratos]

Thanks for the readme idea. I'm now on 1.4 with GWX 3.0 installed! North Atlantic here we go!

[TheDudTorpedo]

Great! Glad to be of service :up:

Once you have got used to GWX3, try some of the excellent MODS avialable for that - you will love it :rock:
