[REL] Merchant Fleet Mod for Silent Hunter 3

[=FI=Ghost]

Hello everyone!

I've been on the shore since winter due to real life obligations but I am planing to go out to sea soon. This mod looks fantastic and I cannot wait to try it out. I just have one question - does it work with these two mods: "GWX 3 St Naz and Schluese and other units V4" and "WB's GWX campaign with 34 additional ships"?

[melnibonian]

Yes it does.

I have XP Home SP3, and I haven't yet got it to work with the latest Schleuse mod. I'll be trying it later with the Schleuse but no ships.

Yeah, I see that on your shirt.

That's my installation and it works fine.

This is my mods' list. The mod works fine with "St. Nazaire etc. v4" mod and with Wb's ships v2.7. There are some conflicts but the museum loaded successfully with the first try. I did not try the mod on a fresh install. It takes up to 4 or 5 minutes for the museum to load.

I think i might delete the T31A and T09A folders from the "St Nazaire" mod as well as the NLL folder from the "Merchant Fleet" mod to eliminate any chances of potential problems.

Melnibonian, did you have to edit/delete something when you were combining these 3 mods:

GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V5
Extras for the Wilhelmshaven campaign v2.4c
IBL Merchant Fleet Mod 3.2

I can make the MFM3.2 work on it's own, but when I try to make it work with GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V6 I get CTD..

Here's my computer specification:

Pentium Dual CPU E2200 (2.2 GHz)
3 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO
Win XP SP2

I tried to install the Merchant_Fleet_mod_3.2, but unfortunately it ctd'd just before completing loading of the museum, which might be something as simple as a ship name missing in the English names file.
I don't know yet, haven't investigated, it could be my system just can't handle it.

I did have a quick look at a few of the ships with S3D tho, and couldn't help notice that the M13A, M13B and M14B had hitpoint ratings of 2160, which is extraordinarily high for a merchant, considering ur average battleship in GWX3 has a hitpoint rating of 800 to 1000.

If the Min and Max effect in the torpedo.zon is increased to the levels suggested, you'll be sinking battleships easier than merchants.

Perhaps there might be a small fault with the hitpoint ratings of some of the ships Iambecome, considering the M13X is rated at 460, and the M14X is rated at 585 hitpoints.

Hope you get it stable in all variants, and i hope i can get my system to run it.
it looks awesome

The only other niggle I have at the moment is the amount of punishment these single ships can take as and when I meet them - Medium Merchants are taking multiple torpedo hits to sink them, if at all. One took four torpedoes and almost all my gun ammunition and it still would`nt go down! I gave it up as a bad job in the end and just carried on with the patrol...

It was this post that caught my attention from JC1959, but i've just looked at the MFM_Interim_Beta version which contains just the M13A, M13B and M14B . . . and the hitpoints have been corrected.

Apologies if i'm late to the party iambecome, i shall duly hold my head underwater for 10 minutes.

No I made no edits to these files. I just put them in and run the game.

Since you are running 32 bit operating system like me you'll just have to wait till you get a 64 bit system to be able to run all the latest mods together, Melnibonian like many are running 64 bit and have no memory issues.
