GreyWolves Mod

[MobyGrape]

I really love GW, anyone try to hook-up with any others using GW mod 4 multiplayer.
I've tried hosting, but people dont seem to read game title.Grey wolves MOd needed.:o

[The General]

Hey there,

I've got Grey Wolves, tell me when you're next online and I'll be happy to join you.

[herrmill]

Count me in. I happen to be in Shanghai so keep in mind I am 12 hours ahead of USA east coast time.

[Fat Bhoy Tim]

I live in the Emirates which is GMT +4. Any Asian players, like herrmill above me, drop me a line

[MobyGrape]

Excellent..I live In hawaii..
GMT -10hrs..
thanks all for responses.AloHa

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I'm GMT -5. Just tell me when this sort of thing might happen.

[MobyGrape]

Will try to set up This Saturday..I have many maps..and cable..but we'll need to look at pings in room..under 300 should be ok..Have hosted successfully with plain sh3..many times..Aloha..all welcome.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I think we should establish all times in reference to GMT (we're basically all doing that) and I'm going to mention this thread over in the main forum, just in case others don't notice for some reason.

[SteamWake]

Have you tried it yet ?

Do you know that GW actually works in MP ?

Just curious... Id love to join but just dont have the time.

[enaceo]

Nice!Thought this threat was dead...
I'd also happily join you guys ,a bit worried about the ping but let's hope...I'm from Romania-GMT+2 .We should make sure we have the same options in GW ,to avoid any problems.

[mr chris]

Am intrested.
But multiplay is all new to me could someone fill me in on how it works?
i live in germany GMT+1.

Well multyplayer in SH3 is really simple.You join/create a server or "room" ,people join -you choose your crew(early war,late war...),your sub and click "ready".The one who created the server choses difficulty and game type.There are 2 "types" of games."Generated" and "Missions".Missions are ,well,pre-made missions .Generated is a mode where the creator of the room chooses what to attack ,like a task-force or convoy,the size ,the escort experience/size and things like that.Basicly,you play like a wolf-pack.You and your team-mates stalk the convoy/tf/whatever and sink what you can:D

Sounds like fun count me in but how do you know at what time to play and what room / server to use?
Do you have to create any sort of acount to be able to play muiltplayer?

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I'm setting up a server RIGHT NOW

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Aaand it didn't really work. When I first hit a ship, the other guy's game crashed.

Well-kind of .When you go to the "Multyplayer" screen you should get somewhere you have to log-in but you can create an accout in-game.Just enter a user-name and pass and that's it.Then you can see the "lobby" where all games are shown.Maybe I'll host one when I come home from some University classes today ,hope mine works.
Torvald Von Mansee-what mods did you guys use?Make sure you use the same exact things and if you have GW make sure you have the same options enabled.I have played GW and NYGM and RUB with my friends on-line a lot of times and never really got CTD's.

Once spent about 2 hours sinking a convoy(if not more)only with the deck-gun with 2 of my friends (all using the IXC and XXI ) after we had lost all our torpedoes and only sank about 2 ships out of ...a lot.Bernard was probably on our ships that day...

[mr chris]

Do you have to set up a acount before you start up your game or can you do this while the game is running?

[enaceo]

You can create an account via the game itself .Just go to the multy-player screen and see there.

[mr chris]

Will sort that out now thanks enaceo:up:

[mr chris]

Just tryed to set a acount to play on ubi .com via the game and all is say's is error unknow error.:hmm:

[MobyGrape]

[enaceo]

I can see your server on the list but it's now about 11 P.M. in Romania so I'm getting >300 ping:( because everyone is on the net now...
Maybe tommorow:(

[MobyGrape]

Hello Grey Wolves: I will be using Moby
as a password if needed..Too many people join without mod.:damn:

[The General]

OK Moby is the password.

I've tried hosting too and had to fight off the Germans, who insist on trying to join my server without having the MOD. Typical!

[enaceo]

Damn my ISP!Damn them to hell:damn:
I can't even join a server and say hello beacuse my ping jumps like crazy and I can't do anything...I thought "upgrading" my net connection is actuall going to do something good :( Hope you guys are having fun.

[MobyGrape]

well..It was a slow weekend,,for the GW..But a lot more know about the Mod..I have discovered there's Mute Zombies On the Net /LOL:rotfl:
any way next weed end try again..Friday is a State holiday here I maybe on then too,,Aloha

I'm in the U.K. What time are you planning on being online?

I try and get my own server going but can't find anybody with the MOD. I've spread the word to the Germans :88) , Spanish :hmm: and French :|\\ , so hopefully they'll be more Greywolves out there soon.

[enaceo]

Disregard that...getting same problems...

[The General]

Does anybody know where I can get the 'speed of sound' Mod, that gives a realistic delay on distant explosions?

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Will anyone be able to play sometime in the next few hours? :hmm:

[The General]

Will anyone be able to play sometime in the next few hours?

Yeah, me! I usually go online about 16:00 G.M.T. I call the server: 'Greywolves MOD Only' and typically spend all of my time fighting off people who don't have the MOD but insist on trying to join anyway.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Gah!! I found out a few hours too late. :oops:

[MobyGrape]

I should be hosting on fri/sat/sun..Ill update here..I try to put a game up at top of hour..=12. 1, 2 ..ect.....1 2 3 4 5 at start of hours im Hawaii standard time..:know:

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I would like to be a part of this!!! What is Hawaiin time in relation to GMT? I think GMT is a good reference point.

[MobyGrape]

Excellent..I live In hawaii..
GMT -10hrs..
thanks all for responses.AloHa

iF i PASSWORD GAME IT WILL BE
Moby

[The General]

I may be 10 Hours ahead, but I would love to meet up with you guys for some much needed multiplayer action. It's Friday, at 13:30 GMT and you guys are probably fast asleep. If you are intending to go online later could you gimme a heads-up? Either via this thread or send out a particularly powerful sonar ping.

P.S: The password is: Moby.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Well, that was pretty cool!!! I think it was only me and The General who stayed in the game.

I was able to get one kill on a medium cargo ship, from one of my FAT torps. I hit a large cargo w/another, and while it didn't go down, it was entirely on fire the length of its deck, so I think it's safe to say that would also be a kill. I remember hitting a third ship, as well. I know The General also got some hits in, but at one point I believe he was forced to the surface where he undoubtably got completely pwned.

I got depth charged and rather heavily damaged. I thought I stopped all the heavy flooding, but kept hearing a hissing in game. I was still trying to repair myself when the server quit.

EDIT: D'OH!! While I was posting this, The General started another server and it's full.

[MobyGrape]

Look for me I'll be hosting Today,,drop in at start of the HOUR..
If password is set use:
Moby

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I didn't get credit for that destroyer I nailed!!!!! :down:

EDIT: are you trying to do it at the top of this hour? I may drop in, but I think I may be getting played out. Also, I seem to be having some multiplayer issues w/my game.

[The General]

Yes sir, the boys (Torvald and I)were kicking ass and taking names, in the thick fog I might add. Between us we chalked up at least three large tankers, plus I heard dozens of other explosions and cries of terror in the fog.

Total Carnage on the high seas. :arrgh!:

P.S.I'll see you boys at the top of the hour. 20:00 GMT.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Well, I seem to have unexpectedly quit out of Moby's game, AGAIN, but I'll try to get back on.

Yes, seeing that troop transport and the destroyer go up was rather satisfying!!! :rotfl:

The dud torpedo hitting that destroyer DEAD ON was significantly less, though...

[The General]

There I was, on the surface, taking fire from all sides, just about to send another tanker to the giant Naval-Yard in the sky and POW, the game crashes!
It could be my high ping as you guys are (Master and Commander) on the far side of the world.

Heheheh!! I saw that!!! You were doing your best impression of Swiss cheese!! (though, to be fair, the Swiss actually have many, many kinds of cheese).

I'm between you and Moby, General. Maybe it would be best if I was the server?

EDIT: Oh, I got your O'Brian reference!! :D

[The General]

Amen to that Torvald, we just had ourselves another crash. The third one in a row.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I think I may take me a little nap. I will see if you guys are there in about 15 minutes.

[mr chris]

Had just tropedoed a destroyer then
crash:nope: sorry guys was having a really good time,:up:

[mr chris]

The General me and Moby are just about to start another game would love for you to join:up: sorry but we both got cdt'dt at the start of the last one.

[MobyGrape]

The disconnects are frustrating as host I see you leave,,writes letter to BDU, another boat MIA..
I never had much or any trouble hosting before,,may go back to vanailla MP..:stare:

[mr chris]

Have posted on the GW thread asking if the is a know problems playing GW online am waiting for any replies,

[Torvald Von Mansee]

The General me and Moby are just about to start another game would love for you to join:up: sorry but we both got cdt'dt at the start of the last one.

I lay down for a 10 minute nap, and I just conked out. I'm sorry!!!! :damn:

[MobyGrape]

Ill try another game in 20 minutes it's 1:30pm HSt= -10 GMT

[Cdre Gibs]

From the Horse's mouth:

To play GW online as you know all must have the same version installed. That would mean all must either have GWv1.0 or GWv1.1a. Also all must have the same Campaign and Flotilla files. Now since there are several different types of Campaign/Flotilla files floating around this is where I suspect you maybe running into a problem. There are the Vanilla GWv1.0 set, the Vanilla GWv1.1a set plus the 3 sets of Unified Campaign Mods done by Rubini for GW/NYGM/Stock merge. Now of those sets done by Rubini only 1 set would I recommend. That being his "Unified Campaign Mod for Stock". So as you can see its quite possible ppl have GW but not quite the SAME GW as each other.

I'm very pleased to see this budding online GW game play (and I know so is Kpt Lehmann), and with the next release being so much more I think you will have less dramas with compatability issues and there for expect many hours of online fun sinking ships in Grey Wolf Packs.

Carry on.

[MobyGrape]

okay good advice..I have 1.1a vanilla..:arrgh!:
all the discos happened under fire it seems ie: depth charging

[mr chris]

I have GW 1.1a am running some mods for my current career but do deactivate them all for when i play online. But am going to make a dual install so i have a unmodded version of GW just for online play.

[The General]

It is now Saturday 14:00 GMT. I had a great time yesterday fighting alongside Chris, Moby and Torvald, against some very tough Hombres, and am hoping for more of the same today. I will be online from 16:00 GMT if anybody is interested. Password is: Moby. That way I don't have to write: 'You must have the Greywolves MOD...', 200 times!


On the subject of those problems we were having yesterday; I have the 1.1a Version of GW, have a hull skin Mod for my Type VIIC and a couple of small Mods, like the 'Speed of Sound' mod. Will any of that stuff cause problems? I'm not too experienced with messing around with config files, so maybe one of you could advise? I found that there were no crashes when only Torvald and I were playing, so the problem may lie with the differences between our setup and Moby's setup.

Over.

[Cdre Gibs]

Ok, files that make problems for online play are:
All CFG Files, none can be different than any other (Host - Clients)
ALL Campaign Files, none can be different than any other (Host - Clients)
All EQP Files, none can be different than any other (Host - Clients)
All SIM Files, none can be different than any other (Host - Clients)
All INI Files, none can be different than any other (Host - Clients)

Thats it.

The best bet would to be to run the online games with either vanilla GW1.1a or vanilla GW1.1a with ALL players having the same Unified Campaign Mod files.

The easiest is just plain Vanilla GW1.1a.

The good news is, that TGA Mods have NO impact if they are just standard 1 for 1 TGA swaps.

[The General]

Right, that settles it, I'm gonna uninstall SH3 and reinstall it with 1.1a GW and nothing else.

[mr chris]

Just make a dual install like i did and install the i.4 patch and GW.
The is no need to uninstall SH3 really.

[MobyGrape]

Yep..2 installs now set..I test stock last night 4 players no one discoed.

Now i need to figure out sub commander keeps seeing my stock game ,But not the GW install..
1 time it asked for location of sh3 .exe..and showed the install tree, but when i highlighted the gw root,,It said,,Couldnt be found.

OH..To MR Horse...
I have the modded res mod i run 1360 x 768..this shouldn't be a problem..??

Oh,,and i'm going to port today,,will be back in 2 hours,,(11am HST..-10GMT) need bananas and oranges, and beer, and bread to make mold
ALOHA

[mr chris]

Top stuff will still be around then.:rock:

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I missed all the fun, today!! :nope:

[MobyGrape]

Sorry..Had 3 games with MrChris,,2 complete last I saw he left game Believe he died..but he may have disconnected..Mr C when you C this please report.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I think I'm going to PM everyone who I might play w/my AIM, MSN, etc.

I have the modded res mod i run 1360 x 768..this shouldn't be a problem..??

No it should not cause any issues as thats a PC related file rather than a multiplayer game related file. As yet to date, I have never heard it to be an issue, but there is always a first time for everything (CYA policy). :D

[mr chris]

Sorry..Had 3 games with MrChris,,2 complete last I saw he left game Believe he died..but he may have disconnected..Mr C when you C this please report.

Hey Moby yeah the uber DD's got me yet again did you get any from that convoy?
Had a great time last night the narvik mission was such fun even though i managed to die i got that A Crusier:arrgh!:

[The General]

This thread deserves a sticky :cool:

Hey, we got the boss's blessing, how cool is that? Even one of the all powerful GW architects got in touch.

[The General]

You ever get that sinking feeling?

Today at around 16:00 GMT, Capt.Torvald and I encountered a landing party off the coast of The Ascension Islands. Unfortunately we only managed to chalk up a single kill (Capt. Torvald), before succumbing to heavy depth-charging. My idea to run deep, at flank speed, going straight at 'em, was made possible, thanks to land dropping sharply to the Atlantic sea-bed, a few hundred yards off-shore. Unfortunately my bravado got the better of me, but I did manage to hold the enemy's attention, whilst Cap'n Torvald got our first catch (and last) of the day.

Better luck next time!

My idea to run deep, at flank speed, going straight at 'em, was made possible, thanks to the sheer drop-off to the sea-floor a few hundred yards off-shore.

Better luck next time!

General you going to be hosting any more games today?

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Heheheheh...I was an idiot w/Ascension. I ran my sub aground!!! :C

Yeah, we got completely pwned!!!

However, before that, we'd attacked a convoy, and there were like 8 or 9 torpedo impacts. I think General got some shots of that.

I have not yet gone on that bikeride I said I would, General.

[The General]

Yeah, I'll host from 19:00 GMT if you want.

See you shortly.

[mr chris]

Yeah, I'll host from 19:00 GMT if you want.

See you shortly.

Great will see you then:up:

[The General]

So much for that! Just tried to get a game going with Mr Chris. Damn crashes!

Earlier today, I uninstalled SH3 and reinstalled it, the 1.4b EMEA DVD patch and the GW mod and nothing else and it still there are problems, exasperating! :nope:

Torvald and I didn't have any problems earlier, strange.

I'll check back at 22:00 GMT and see if the same thing happens with Moby.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

General, I might not be able to make it. Just so you know.

Shame that was looking forward to a top game anyways fingers crossed for latter.:roll:

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Hmmm...so, we COULD get four players w/a GW multiplayer game? That would be pretty cool!!

[MobyGrape]

hi..i'm bak..look 4 me start of the hours..:arrgh!:

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I'm going for a drive in the country!! I'll see you guys, later!!

[Pants]

Great to hear you guys are having fun with GW online :up:
Looking forward to getting things back to normal...playing wise, we ( the GW TEAM ) dont manage to play at all these days..too busy working on GWX
Hope to meet some of you online and sink a convoy or two ;)

Load those fish and happy hunting :arrgh!:

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Yaaay!!! We're sticky!!! :rock:

R u starting a game at 1600 GMT, Monday, General?

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Don't forget to tell us how the mission goes! :ping:

[MobyGrape]

Mr Chris and I seem to have compatible setup..we can each join each others servers and stay connected.:know:

[The General]

Unfortunately, it looks as though I won't be able to join Mr Chris and Moby on their adventures, but wish them good hunting. However, Capt. Torvald and I are able to team-up, so we might as well separate into two wolfpacks, at least until we are able to solve these connection issues and share battle stories in the forum.

Its a real shame that we all can not play online together. I hope that we can find a way to sort this out in the future. :sunny:
We should i think still try every now and again to get a game going with all of us.
Till then i wish Capt. Torvald and Capt. General the best of hunting:up: SINK THEM ALL!!:up: :arrgh!:

[Pants]

I know it's a pain..but have you all tried the dual install technic?
and just have that standard gw 1.1a for online purposes only?
please let us know how you get on :)

[mr chris]

I know it's a pain..but have you all tried the dual install technic?
and just have that standard gw 1.1a for online purposes only?
please let us know how you get on :)

I have a dual install of just standard GW1.1a and so does Moby i belive.
Even The General said last night he had a standard install of GW1.1a, so it is a little perplexling that he is unable to join a game with me and Moby.:hmm:

[Pants]

Working on a few ideas..please hold tight, just discussing it with the GW dev team to see if we can get this sorted for you guys :up:
Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Cdre Gibs]

I know we have stated this before, about its best to have a Vanilla GW1.1a installed game for all to play online, but if your still experiancing connection issues then it has to be a diffeance in your install's. Its that simple. Things that can cause issues beyond what I have listed is also new ships, since its part of the englishnames.cfg file thats compared. This is also the same for planes, any new planes cause issues as well becuase planes also have their own englishnames.cfg. In fact aircraft in general seem to cause issues online.

In over something like 600 Online games of SH3/GW that I have played with Pants I can say that in all honesty Planes do cause issues. So best to use missions without out Aircover selected if its a generated mission. For Custom missions try to select missions that have no scripted planes in. And if you wish to do battle with a Task Force, chose a type without an Aircraft Carrier. Now hopefully after the next release I may FINALY get around to sorting all the known plane issues regarding online play, but atm its not something I have looked at yet regards online issues.

1 last thing, and thats SH3Commander. IF you use SH3C to launch SH3/GW and have used SH3C to change settings, guess what, your games are no longer compatable. Now SH3C is a bloody good program that does some pretty niffty things, BUT for online play every 1 MUST have the same files, and since SH3C makes alterations to those files, well you get the rest. Now it be ok if Every1 thats joining your game (this is to the Host) has SH3C and HAPPEND to change all the same bits that you did. But if they didnt do exactly the same changes you have, disconnect.
So in retrospect, for online play a standard launch of SH3 with the GW1.1a mod either installed directly into your SH3 game or via the mod enabler program is your safest bet. I would however always recommend that GW1.1a is installed directly into SH3 and launch via a normal SH3 launch for online play. Less chance of anything going amiss.

I thought that I had the standard install on everything. The only things I tried to change were the time settings (which don't seem to be different in game, even though I htought I'd changed the relevant files)

I guess General is busy, today. Perhaps he has this thing called "work."

*sigh* I, too, have "work" to deal w/

Torvald and I are able to team-up, so we might as well separate into two wolfpacks, at least until we are able to solve these connection issues and share battle stories in the forum.
Its a real shame that we all can not play online together. I hope that we can find a way to sort this out in the future. :sunny:
We should i think still try every now and again to get a game going with all of us.
Till then i wish Capt. Torvald and Capt. General the best of hunting:up: SINK THEM ALL!!:up: :arrgh!:

I thought that I had the standard install on everything. The only things I tried to change were the time settings (which don't seem to be different in game, even though I htought I'd changed the relevant files)

I guess General is busy, today. Perhaps he has this thing called "work."

*sigh* I, too, have "work" to deal w/

Torvald i dont think me and you have had a game together if you have got nothing else to do we can see if we can play online with out any CDT'S?:arrgh!:

[mr chris]

I know we have stated this before, about its best to have a Vanilla GW1.1a installed game for all to play online, but if your still experiancing connection issues then it has to be a diffeance in your install's. Its that simple. Things that can cause issues beyond what I have listed is also new ships, since its part of the englishnames.cfg file thats compared. This is also the same for planes, any new planes cause issues as well becuase planes also have their own englishnames.cfg. In fact aircraft in general seem to cause issues online.

In over something like 600 Online games of SH3/GW that I have played with Pants I can say that in all honesty Planes do cause issues. So best to use missions without out Aircover selected if its a generated mission. For Custom missions try to select missions that have no scripted planes in. And if you wish to do battle with a Task Force, chose a type without an Aircraft Carrier. Now hopefully after the next release I may FINALY get around to sorting all the known plane issues regarding online play, but atm its not something I have looked at yet regards online issues.

1 last thing, and thats SH3Commander. IF you use SH3C to launch SH3/GW and have used SH3C to change settings, guess what, your games are no longer compatable. Now SH3C is a bloody good program that does some pretty niffty things, BUT for online play every 1 MUST have the same files, and since SH3C makes alterations to those files, well you get the rest. Now it be ok if Every1 thats joining your game (this is to the Host) has SH3C and HAPPEND to change all the same bits that you did. But if they didnt do exactly the same changes you have, disconnect.
So in retrospect, for online play a standard launch of SH3 with the GW1.1a mod either installed directly into your SH3 game or via the mod enabler program is your safest bet. I would however always recommend that GW1.1a is installed directly into SH3 and launch via a normal SH3 launch for online play. Less chance of anything going amiss.

Thanks very much for your help on the issue Cdre Gibs it is very much aperciated by myself as i am very new to multiplayer gaming and have a lot to learn. so your advice is very helpfull to me:up:
For playing GW online i dont use SH3 Commander just basic SH3 +1.4 PATCH + GW1.1a.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Chris: sure!! I'll start a game if you haven't, already.

EDIT: I'll make the password "Moby" w/that first letter capitalized

[mr chris]

Ok Torvald will be with you very soon.:up:

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Did your game crash, Chris?

My two homing torps caused a Casablanca/Bogue escort carrier to go up like a Christmas tree!!

[mr chris]

Did your game crash, Chris?

My two homing torps caused a Casablanca/Bogue escort carrier to go up like a Christmas tree!!

Afraid so went just before the protecnics from your trops. A shame as i thought we were going to have great game and one that was playerable to the end with no crashes.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

OK. Well...I guess we'll just sort this out at some point...did you want to keep trying? I suspect it will just keep crashing, though.

[MobyGrape]

mmm Good info here..I have used Sub commander.but I have sh3 rolled back now..Also I have planes and aircraft carriers..oh My!:o

Hope to see GW action next weekend:|\\

Look forward to it Moby:up: Me and Capt. Torvald just tryed two games online every time he hits a ship i get the bad news that i have crashed:damn: Hope your bike ride is enjoyable Torvald:up:

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Well, after you crashed, I continued playing. I sank 4 Bogue CVE's!!!!! But then I had one of my own torps hit me, which sank my renown by 2000 (even though it didn't kill me). Destroyed my periscopes, so I had to surface to nail the last Bogue.

Well, off I go!!!

[The General]

Now online! Don't tell me I missed you by 11 mins?! You sank 4 Carriers?!

On another subject; I am very grateful to the masterful and all powerful GW architects, who have launched a Search & Rescue mission to locate our stricken multi-player hopes.

Yes!! I was shocked!!

Well, I hadn't left, yet, and I just checked, and you didn't seem to be on!!

You really should contact me via IM.

[wildchild]

top work gw keep it mob is sweet pitty you still cant go in the aft maybe in the next mod you do :up: :up: IF you are going to do one enaway top work.......OVER

[Cdre Gibs]

Umm, sorry guys but I forgot 1 other major bit, and thats the scene.dat, it must match. You cant have 8km and 16km installs playing together online. The other area that may cause an issue is also scene related, I'm not 100% sure of this but the scene dark and the scene light versions may also be an online issue. I know its a setting rather than a TGA in the scene.dat file, so therefore I'd suspect it could be an issue as well.

I'd be interested in any feed back on what versions of the scene.dat file that you guys are using. Thx.

[MobyGrape]

Oh this is good..I remember that choice when installing I selected the middle choice..cant remember what it was..I took Buddhas middle way..lol:oops:

What about sea floor..I have the detailed version the 1 with treasuse chests and mermaids..{ok a little added humour..

[Cdre Gibs]

You could have a Yellow Submarine to go with your treasuse chests and belly dancing mermaid's and it wouldnt matter 1 bit. They are just plain skins. So that 1's ok. :)

As to the options you chose, well there I cant help you since I never did the install on your PC. :lol:

[mr chris]

I did not select any of the atmosphere addons when installing just plain GW.

[The General]

Umm sorry, the scene.dat, it must match. You cant have 8km and 16km installs playing together online.

I'd be interested in any feed back on what versions of the scene.dat file that you guys are using. Thx.

That's it, the only logical explanation. Is there someone who can post a scene.dat file, that we can all overlay over our existing files? Thus saving ourselves lengthy reinstallations.

This will hopefully render our setups compatible online?

Thankyou Commodore Gibs for your help.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

I was JUST online, and there was a game which seemed to have the name "Grey Wolves," but in German. And it had EIGHT players!!! :cry:

[mr chris]

Do they know something we dont?:hmm:

[The General]

Anyone for tennis?

[Cdre Gibs]

Another thing SH3 in general does not like, is software firewalls. If your using 1 it will cause problems. The SOP is to turn OFF your software firewall whilst playing SH3.

The other bit to make for stable games is of course the old port forwarding routine for routers. I know you guys have done port forwarding or you wouldnt be able to play online, but sometimes ppl dont always get all the ports correct. Also a client normaly wont need to port forward, only the host, well I've found that it also helps if the client has as well, just another oddity of SH3.

The correct Ports for SH3 are:
8 Players can join: TCP/UDP 17997 thru 18003 (port range)
Ubi Ping: TCP 667
Ubi.com: TCP/UDP 40000 thru 42000 (port range)
Ubi.com2: TCP/UDP 43500

[MobyGrape]

Have saved port info..incase I go back to using a router.:up:

[The General]

Capt Torvald and I were on patrol in the Med when we encountered a supply convoy bound for Montgomery's desert troops. It was escorted by a Nelson Battleship and an Illustrious Carrier. Unfortunately our Italian friends sustained heavy losses in the skies overhead before the mighty luftwaffe could arrive to support them. Needless to say, our boys gave 'em Hell when they arrived.

During the battle Capt Torvald, in a typically heroic effort, managed to slam 5 topedos into the hull of the great Carrier. Sadly Capt. Torvald didn't live to see the fruits of his labour and the Carrier was last seen limping away, sagging heavily astern.

I faired poorly however and failed my Furer, only managing a single hit on the Battleship before succumbing to a lucky strike from a retched English Destroyer.

[Cdre Gibs]

:) Good effort. better luck next reincarnation! ;)

[Torvald Von Mansee]

As you can see in the first photo, I'm using a (1945 version) Type XXI in 1942.

I thought only two of those ever actually got out on patrol, and one of those patrols was only like four days old when the war ended.

I don't want to be accurate, I want to be FUN!! :up:

Oh, and I only hit the carrier four times!! *sigh*

Given that the Luftwaffe was in the area, it could have been finished off by them!!

I want to play that scenario again, sometime.

Oh, and General: remember when we played this very same scenario and I was killed by a lucky depth charge only like 10 minutes in? You positioned yourself far better for your attack on the Nelson then I did on the carrier, but you only had one torp loaded up!!

[Cdre Gibs]

Just a thought guys. The player name above the torpedo's, I'd recommend turning it off because when you get a few players all shooting at once all you will get is a sea of red floating names and the targets become difficult to see. The player names above the subs is fine because it allows 1 to see at a glance where every 1 is.

If you dont know how to turn the names off, just ask ok. :)

[The General]

Ok, I'm asking, how do you turn off the names above the torps?

[Pants]

When you load up in the Multi player mission press ESC and bring up the options then player names...uncheck the box for what you want turned off :up:

[wildchild]

wen is the next multiplayer game going on wood like to try a game with someone if it works iam running GW TOP MOD:up: :up: :up:

'lo bobs,

I've tried to get GW1.1a from your Eurpean FTP-Server yesterday. I've already completed part 1,2 and 3 and the executable. What's missing now is part 4. However, I simply can't get it. The Location on Subsim.com seems to exist no longer and from today morning on, it requires me to transmit username/password, when I'll try to dl from your FTP-Server.
Would be nice, if I may get help. Thanks :)

GW does indeed work in MP however YOU all MUST have the same files..have a dual install if you can, one for ( GW 1.1 and SH3 Cmdr ) and have one just for ONLY GW 1.1 for online only...that way you ALL have the same files. :up:

[DanCanovas]

sorry to keep on about this, just some last questions..is the torrent link the 1.1 or 1.1a. if i download the 1.1 will i need a separate installer and the hotfix? thanks for your patience everyone

[bigboywooly]

sorry to keep on about this, just some last questions..is the torrent link the 1.1 or 1.1a. if i download the 1.1 will i need a separate installer and the hotfix? thanks for your patience everyone

Not sure what the torrent is to be honest
If it is 1.1 then use the JSGME mod installer - a great piece of software that allows you to add\remove mods simply

[Gizzmoe]

The Torrent is 1.1a.

[DanCanovas]

if the torrent is 1.1a, would you still recommend the above installer?

[mr chris]

The JSGME mod installer is well worth having as it makes mods easy to install and deactive so you dont have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling the game everytime you want to take away certian mods. You just click deactivate. Hope this helps

[DanCanovas]

ok thanks for the help folks, hopefully il be abke to get it working tonight.

[DanCanovas]

im using U torreent and it says the download is finished and SEEDING, what does this mean and do I have to wait for it?

[Gizzmoe]

im using U torreent and it says the download is finished and SEEDING, what does this mean and do I have to wait for it?
"Seeding" means that you are now uploading the finished file to other Bittorrent clients. Close utorrent and enjoy GW! :)

[DanCanovas]

bloody hell gizzmoe! I wish you would work for an insurance company or something, your always on hand! :D anyway installing it now.

[DanCanovas]

well it works great. the ports are so busy its fantastic. great work GW and thanks to everyone who helped me out to get it

[Cdre Gibs]

Just a heads up for all you online players. At the release of GWX I would HIGHLY recommend a Clean install of SH3, patched to 1.4b and GWX installed directly into SH3 from the autoinstaller. IF there are options in the installer make it very clear what 1's you have on. Even better yet, after you have all installed and played around a bit, get together on here and decide on what will be the online standard install. I'm sure you will be able to come to an agreement on what you all want.

1.1A was a self installer and contained this fix
http://files.filefront.com/GW_11_1024__Overlay_Fix7z/;5036510;;/fileinfo.html
I found out that my version is 1.1... if i download this file i'm matching 1.1a, right?
But filefront isn't working at the moment and i found this file @ u-boot.realsimulation.com but how do i install this ".7z"-file?

Thx in advance

I belive you should be able to unzip this file with WINRAR. just do a shearch on say google and you should find somewhere you can download this programe.
Hope this helps

[Cdre Gibs]

Ok, here is a Link to a site that offers a FREE Achiving tool that will blow your mind. The amount of achive extentions this lil program can handel is simply amazing! Yes it will do 7z's and even CAB files (I dont know of many that can do CAB files).

Hello all,


I am -4 gmt and play in the mornings when I get off work around 7:30 est or 1130z. Would love to hook up with some guys and play. I played this Monday morning with several guys but no one on had the GW mod. I am ecm747x online too. Anyone playing around that time? If so would love to play. Online play is great. had several rounds of sub vs. sub today and that was a lot of fun too.

[MobyGrape]

[mcbee]

Hey guys...I'm another GW addict :p hey this sounds like a AA meeting....

Are there any GW multiplayer servers that appear with any degree of regularity? I've been asking in several online games but none are running GW:down:

[ecm747x]

I get on in the mornings durring the week, 7:30 est. and haven't come across any at that time. I may have to try in the early evening before heading to work or the weekends. Just my weekend time and mornings will be taken up here very soon with deer season starting in less than 2 weeks.:up:

[wildchild]

[MobyGrape]

Yes Sir..Ill be on tomorrow after my morning walk..Ill be on around 8am HST{hawaii standard time}..= -(minus} 10GMT

[ecm747x]

I should be on this weekend. It is to be raining all day Saturday here, so, won't be getting much done outside. Moby, you are 6 hours behind me if you are in Hawaii. I am -4z here. If I don't lay down and take a nap, from working all night, I will be on around 1400 est. and see if you have a server up.
I should be on when I get home this morning, around 1130z. Will see who has a GW server up. If none I will just play vanilla till there is.

I know I have posted this atleast 3 times and this is the final time. I hope someone will know an answer!

When I try to get to multiplayer on ubi.com it displays this message:
Cannot connect to http://gsconnect.ubisoft.com/gsini.ph

And then when I try to login (it shows me the login screen) and I enter my username and password and it says: "Cannot connect to router"!

Try disabling your firewall
Try opening ports in your router to allow it to connect

I have no firewall, but I'm pretty well protected with my KAV 6.0 set at High all the time.

About opening ports, any suggestions on how to do that? And which ones does SH3 MP use, cause I don't wanna start opening wrong ports and causing damage by hackers!

[bigboywooly]

Well I am certainly no expert in that side of things
I know for my router i went into its config and set up a port for SH3 which I can switch on or off at will
Certain firewalls\antivirus will not allow outside "pings" to your computer
If yours is blocking these too it may be thats the reason


SH3's multiplayer abilities allow you to play either on UbiSoft hosted game servers or on privately hosted LAN and Internet based servers.
The following TCP and UDP ports should be opened to allow for SH3 multiplayer gaming:

TCP/UDP ports 17997 through 18003 - allows up to 8 players to join
TCP port 667 - UbiSoft ping
TCP/UDP ports 40000 through 42000 - Ubi.com
TCP/UDP port 43500 - Ubi.com2Retrieved from "http://www.communitymanuals.com/shiii/index.php?title=Multiplayer (http://www.communitymanuals.com/shiii/index.php?title=Multiplayer)"

[Cdre Gibs]

Or if you had read the thread on page 6 at the bottom I stated all the info 1 needs for portforwarding.

Portforwarding page-6 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=96565&page=6)

[Respenus]

Another thing SH3 in general does not like, is software firewalls. If your using 1 it will cause problems. The SOP is to turn OFF your software firewall whilst playing SH3.

The other bit to make for stable games is of course the old port forwarding routine for routers. I know you guys have done port forwarding or you wouldnt be able to play online, but sometimes ppl dont always get all the ports correct. Also a client normaly wont need to port forward, only the host, well I've found that it also helps if the client has as well, just another oddity of SH3.

The correct Ports for SH3 are:
8 Players can join: TCP/UDP 17997 thru 18003 (port range)
Ubi Ping: TCP 667
Ubi.com: TCP/UDP 40000 thru 42000 (port range)
Ubi.com2: TCP/UDP 43500

OK, THX you very much, I appreciate it very much!

I know I'm asking too much, ut I'm kindda a noob at this and I don't want to bother my neighbour (who has the knowledge).

HOW? do you open up those ports? Is it already incorporated in Win, any speacial programes or it depends on the router? If last, then I'll ask someone else, if otherwise, help is apreciated (again).

Depends on the Router. You need to Browes to your routers Web Interface, find the Advance tab and usually under that will be another tab for Portforwarding. If you dont have the Manual for your router, which usualy covers this sort of thing, the router its self has (most times) a help section. This will also show you "How To". Failing that goto the website of your Routers Manufacturer and D/L the manual for your Router Model.

Good luck.

[Respenus]

OK, the good news is, that I have managed to access the router control and get into advaced options (I thought I forgot that password :damn:).

This is what I get, when I select Forwarding rules.

Forwarding Rules http://192.168.2.1/p6.gifVirtual Server - Allows others to access WWW, FTP, and other services on your LAN. http://192.168.2.1/p6.gifSpecial AP - This configuration allows some applications to connect, and work with the NAT router. http://192.168.2.1/p6.gifMiscellaneous - IP Address of DMZ Host: Allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way communication. Note that, this feature should be used only when needed.
- Non-standard FTP port: You have to configure this item if you want to access an FTP server whose port number is not 21 (when Client uses active mode).

From the little knowledge that I have I think the virtual server would do the trick, but I'm not sure.

Now can someone tell me where I have to put in, to get access? (There is no "How to?" section!)

Hey Manstein16 welcome to subsim:up:
what time region are you from? Do you play MP with gw? If so we usualy meet up most weekends and when ever we can. If you are around today the should be many a game to be had. If you are up for a game or 2 just PM me or contact me via MSN.:up:

[Respenus]

OK guys, I finally got my guy to open up the ports on my router, so if everything works, I'll be seeing you on MP tonight! :rock:

[mr chris]

Look forward to see you mate. We usualy start about around 18GMT. If your around and fancy a game just PM me or drop me a line via MSN. :up:

[Respenus]

Well I'm GMT+1, so it's still quite early and I'm sure we'll get atleast one game through. Unfortunately, I don't have MSN, but if anyone has a google account, I'm always avaliable through Google Talk!

[Respenus]

Can someone PLZ host a game. I don't indend to play, but I believe that my problems haven't been solved yet and that I'm still uncapable of playing MP.

I have GW 1.1a installed.

THX in advance and can you PLZ post here when you're ready!

EDIT: What are the triggers for the ports. I'm sure I have the port range set correctly, but what are the triggers (Trigger:The outbound port number issued by the application.).

This are the port ranges:
8 Players can join: TCP/UDP 17997 thru 18003 (port range)
Ubi Ping: TCP 667
Ubi.com: TCP/UDP 40000 thru 42000 (port range)
Ubi.com2: TCP/UDP 43500

[mr chris]

hey will host in 5 mins
look for GREY WOVLES pass is Moby:up:

[Respenus]

DAMN!!! I probably didn't catch you, as I saw your message an hour after you posted it (I had lunch). I tried GW, nothing, I tried vanilla, nothing!

I'd really like to know what the triggers are for SH3 MP (described in my last post)!

[ecm747x]

I am still here if you want to play? I can host one now if you like?

[Respenus]

I don't want to play, just check if it works (probably not, as I still can't connect to Ubi.com or LAN, even with the ports open)!

That's why I asked if anyone knows the trigger for the MP ports!

But THX, for the offer. Looks like, I'll have to stick to SP for a while longer!

:damn::damn::damn:

[robj250]

I've tried downloading Gw 1.1a from the links in the page you provide (at subsim) and I get 404 errors

[Respenus]

I believe that the SubSim broadwith has been used up. Go to the GW main page and choose the European server, or go to filefront where you can get the whole thing in one package!

[Respenus]

DAMN!!!

Just installed GameShadow and now MP SUDDENLY WORKS!!!

See you on the net guys!

:rock::rock::rock:

[Manstein16]

I have the next 5 hours free. If anyone's interested, leave me a PM or post here.

Thanks Chris,


I sent the other files you sent me to BBW but I am not sure he got them. Maybe you can send him the rest so he may be able to iron out the problems with those as well. There are a lot of good missions that would be great to play with the rest of us in...
It is early yet in the season, but I hope to get something to put in the freezer. My son and daughter both love deer meat.
I have to get going. I am at work and have to do a couple of things then I am out of here on my way to Carls. About 3 hours from where I work. Have fun this weekend and keep the DD's off of everyone....YOu guys are welcome to get in vent. any time you like.
