Trying NYGM
I recently returned to my favorite computer game after a long illness. I am trying out the NYGM mega mod. I also have Grey Wolves installed on my computer. I notice that other ships do no not appear on map. I assume this is by design to make the mod more difficult. I have also noticed that some of the ships reported by the watch officer are not visible in the UZO. Is this by design?

NYGM isn't my cup of tea, but for realism of gameplay it's reputed to be the best you can get.
I'm pretty sure that ships not automatically appearing on the chart is indeed a function of that mod. In real life they couldn't mark something down unless the captain or 1WO told them exactly where to put it. As for sighted ships not appearing in the UZO, I believe that's a problem with the game. The Watch Officer might report something at its absolute maximum range, and when you look it has slipped just out of that range. I use GWX with a 20-km sighting mod and get exactly the same thing. It's likely something the Devs didn't think of and there's no real way to fix it.

NYGM
I've been playing SHIII off and on for several years. I just loaded it up again a few months ago. Usually I use Magui (Widescreen) over GWX and can set it up the way I like. Not so much with NYGM. Somewhat more complicated than the other Super Mods I've tried. Some of the patches that come with NYGM can be a little difficult to understand and load correctly. It took me 3 attempts to get it to work right after I did the patches, which I opted out after my 3rd re-install. It's working now. There is a lot of things in NYGM I really like, however, for some reason I cannot get the other GUI items to load. Not sure why. In NYGM, I cannot get the data to formulate distance for example. The watch Officer will give me bearing, but not distance. Kinda need that to plot a course for torpedo attack.
Don't get me wrong...I like NYGM (especially widescreen), it's just not really for me. I still have it loaded and will give it a chance for awhile. One good thing I did try and may do again is, load Magui over NYGM. I can have the best of 2 worlds sort of speak. I hear WAC is outstanding, but alas, my vid card would get a hernia. I'll likely need to upgrade for that. |

I do not have NYGM but the problem can be solved I think by modifying your en_menu.txt in Data / Menu (if you play in English otherwise the de_menu.txt (German) or fr_menu.txt (French) Open this file with Notepad (for exemple) This is at the line 4616 = Nearest visual contact at bearing% 03.0f, range% .0f meters! Hope this help Yves |

The reason I like NYGM is that it's hard. That's what makes this mod so fun. Once you get pinged, you could be in a game of cat and mouse for a few hours. I can imagine how a real u-boat crew must have felt - barely daring to breath, waiting for that one depth charge. My advice is to not go half-stepping.
Have fun and enjoy. 😀

NYGM Map Tools
Still using NYGM....and yes, it is hard, but hanging in there with moderate success. However, the one thing that irks me the most is the NAV Map. Every time my mouse cursor rolls over the edge of the map, the map moves. If I have to grab a MAP tool or move my mouse over to the edge for something...it moves and I have to move it back. Don't like that feature much at all. Maybe there is a way to edit a file to make that stop. Just wondering.

Reece did a post a bit ago ( )
Fix's to NavMap - Scrolling There was a post somewhere about it being done in SH3, but I can't find that one. The differences should only be in the Section headings. In my SH3, you would use [G31 I16] thru [G31 I19] instead of the SH4 headings. All you change is the "ParentID=" lines from each of the sections from "0x31000000" to "0x3F000000". Don't mess with the "[G3F I138]" screen titles, unless you do some investigating and are sure of what you're doing. Same with the "no scrolling" stuff. Be sure of what you're changing. Now, with that said, I have no idea what, if any, changes that NYGM made to the menu_1024_768.ini file, so look to see what section is associated with the GF000000 address in the file ("Page Layout") - it should be the same, but might not. The 0x31000000 is "Page navigation map". Most of the 'mega' mods have an edited "menu_1024_768.ini" file, so you have to use the NYGM version of the file. A really big thing is to copy the file "menu_1024_768.ini" to something like a folder structure of "\MODS \NoNavMapScroll \Data \Menu \", which would then make it a mini-mod that you can test with JSGME. |
