Thank you very much to the OP for WAC I have been able to get it playable on WIN7 and I am enjoying it very much. Like some previous comments I would also like to have all contacts as grey but I can live with the colours

My question is whether I can add H.sie's V16B1 realism mod and have evryhting run smoothly? I have looked for previous discussion - not found any but I apologise if I have missed it. It took me quite a few install/uninstalls to get WAC up and running properly without fatal CTDs so I am reluctant to just add the Hsie modification in case it pus me back to square one again

thanks!

No problems with Hsie mod. With Stiebler mod you must do some touches with the CAM ship mod.

Many thanks Fitzcarraldo - very good news

good hunting

EDIT - I have succesfully added the V16B1 mod to my WAC modded game. A couple of points in case they help anyone in the future:
1. I disabled the Longer Repair Times using the HsieOptions selector (this is advised by Hsie for WAC)
2. I left the 4gb patch enabled in the V16B1 mod even though I have only a 32 machine AND I already had to apply the 4G patch in order to get WAC running (I have WIN7)

early testing shows all to be working so far! At the moment I am not brave enough to try to add the Stiebler add-ons on top of this!

Has anyone been able to figure out how to turn the contact colors in WAC nav and attack maps to grey like GWX does? I know that HanSolo (OP) has posted here that he once made a mod to do this for a previous version of WAC but it doesn't seem to be available - I guess that even with the old mod I could try to adapt it for the current WAC but at present I have no idea where to start on which files as I am no modder.

My reasons for wanting this is that I very much like the added tension in GWX of having to identify contacts as enemy/neutral/friend by having to ID the flag and/or see that they are running without lights etc.

thanks

Hello!

Try this old version: http://freakshare.com/files/w3d4ogmv..._Grey.rar.html

Try to find out what files you have to work on... I don´t know anymore cause it is almost five years in the past.

I applied the old version as supplied by Han and it works without any tweaks.

I have just completed a 4 patrol career with it working to grey out all contacts- only German subs (seen in Wilhelmshaven) appeared blue on the Nav map otherwise all contacts inclusing planes I saw were grey.

This included the very last contact seen a British fiji class (I think) I ran across at night while on the surface west of Northern tip of Ireland. Crash dived and she kept us under for over 4 hours - took depth charge damage 2-3 times but fixed it all or so we thought - when we finally ran clear of the pursuer I ordered us to surface but no response from our boat! We could not stop U-22 slowly sinking deeper - at about 180m we heard the 'bolts' popping (well I know they used this in Das Boot even though the VII is welded but it is still scary when it happens!) - unfortunately I could do nothing to save us and there was still 1000m of Atlantic under us when our gallant craft gave way to the pressure. All hands lost.

I never understood why they insist on blacking out I.D. colors, when even in reality you would have like five watch men who were all fully capable of indentifying friend or foe. And if they werent why the hell would they be on deck watch then? All that task it consists of is spoting a flag!

Hi all,
I have SH3 set up with multiple copies using MultiSH3. So far I have my old favorite GWX running under one install and NYGM running fine under another install. I wanted to give WAC 4.1 a go, but ran into a brick wall.

Like a couple other people here I get to the 90 percent mark when loading a career mission or a single mission and get the CTD with the Windows has stopped working message.

My PC is an AMD A6 4400m Windows 8 with 6GB and a Radeon HD7520g video card.
I have the old DVD version of SH3.
SH3 is installed outside of the X86 program files directory.
I installed WAC 4.1 mod using JSGME and Hsie V16B1, making sure the Longer Repair Times was not activated. Also made sure the 4GB patch was activated in V16B1....CTD
Tried with the Windows 7 fix...CTD
Tried Compatibility mode for both Win 7 and XP....CTD

I would love to get WAC 4.1 running, but I am running out of ideas to try and get it going. Anyone see something I have overlooked or have a suggestion?

Thanks
