[REL] Merchant Fleet Mod for Silent Hunter 3 - Page 3

Sailor Steve · 06-07-10, 11:49 PM

Well, I made the changes and created a new career. Started loading. After a very long wait the screen went black. I thought "Oh great - another crash!" Tried to exit and the load screen came back on. It had been so long that it just went dark. After a wait of 45 minutes I tried to Ctrl+Alt+Del but nothing happened - it was entirely frozen. After another 15 minutes I finally rebooted the computer.

That's my story so far.

Very nice looking ships indeed!!!

Would really love to send a salvo into a convoy of that kind.

The author has removed the link for download until the needed patches are implemented.

We just have to be a little patient at the moment.

Cheers

Yes it would take sometime to upload that monster, I'm glad I haven't tried it yet, my ISP/line is bad and drops out quite a lot,

wish it was on Torrent, can restart any number of times with that!

Version 3.1 and one of the Skin Packs have been uploaded. 3.1 features changes intended to prevent CTD's on GWX & other supermod installs. See the original page for changes:

EDIT: Links removed.

Wreford-Brown · 06-08-10, 07:09 AM

Thank you IABL - that was quick work and I'm d/l v3.1 now.

Is there any chance of a torrent or permission for someone to create a torrent? Even with broadband it's going to take a while to d/l the 1GB of mods you've created.

Alex · 06-08-10, 07:43 AM

Good idea, WB.
I've been downloading the mod for the third time today via my internet browser and it's so slow that I always got a corrupted file until now.

Reece · 06-08-10, 08:02 AM

Yes, where's Jim when you need him!

I'm here, got the three files but taking the daughter to her hospital appointment now.

Will be back within the hour and once unpacked and viewed will give an opinion if that is the consensus.

Alex, Wreford-Brown, and myself are hoping some sucker, I mean person will upload with a Torrent for us guys that have bad internet connections!

I can see that it would be a total pain so if it's not possible/viable then we'll just have to keep trying as is.

<2 minutes from leaving for the hospital>

Unpacked the 3.1 version to be met by a myriad of broken files, no EnNames CFG and each of every sample of tga files = 0kb.

All the above could be down to multiple file corruptions.

Leaving home now but have set file for d/l again whilst I'm away....

Thanks for the fast patch on this IABL. I just ran ver 3.1 with a new career and had a CTD again. Running on a Dell XPS 720, 3 GHZ ,4G RAM, Nvidia 9800GT.

Reece · 06-08-10, 09:46 AM

For those who are getting CTD's if it's a SH3.exe error and the ModName=kernel.dll then it's a memory error, will have to disable one of the other large mods in order to get this one running.

Two further attempts/separate d/l's

v3.1 = 1050 corrupted files and no EnNames CFG

Skin pack1 appears to be okay.

Skin pack2 = 166 corrupted files

Would you care to share a screenshot of the EnNames CFG for us?

Are you positive you haven't simply enabled the file, including the corrupt parts?

jaxa · 06-08-10, 10:08 AM

Iambecomelife, great work

I have one question about your screenshots - what is your environmental mod? I like this water and clouds. I'm looking for the best environmental mod for GWX and want to try yours.

Same here Chief,

That means download links to V3.1 and Skin pack2 now provide corrupted files.
Hosting proper files on some site like Mediafire could be a good idea, IMO, FF really is a pain in the

, actually.

edit

Woops, just realized that both Rapidshare and Mediafire have an upload size lower than FF...
