View Full Version : The GWX Campaign... Best Available in SH3

The GWX Campaign

In order to create the most error free and robust campaign files possible, all aspects of the campaign have been digitally checked. Files checked via automation include: the scripted layer, random layer, land layer. Additional files that have been digitally checked include the Defside.cfg, Flotilla.cfg, English/GermanNames.cfg, single contact probabilities, and the Roster folder integrity in relation to all available sea, air, submarine, ordnance, and environmental units by country.

Accordingly, the GWX campaign contains NO:
- duplicate unit entries in any layer;
- scripted units that don't exist;
- missing Roster files for any scripted unit;
- missing or overlapping dates or times in naval base "changeovers";
- missing English/GermanNames.cfg entries;
- typos and erroneous trailing spaces;

Indeed, HUNDREDS of these little unintentional little errors have accrued over time and were even with stock SH3 when it was released... We have either corrected or removed ALL of these entries.


Plus, to further highlight the attention to detail afforded the campaign files, the following lists just SOME of the historic Operations that are included in GWX:


The Mediterranean War:
Operation Husky (Sicily: July 1943)
Operation Avalanche (Salerno: September 1943)
Operation Slapstick (Taranto: September 1943)
Operation Shingle (Anzio: January 1944)
Operation Excess (January 1941)
Operation Substance (July 1941)
Operation Style (August 1941)
Operation Halberd (September 1941)
Operation Harpoon (June 1942)
Operation Pedestal (August 1942)
Operation Tiger (May 1941)
Operation Vigorous (June 1942)
Operation Stoneage (November 1942)
Operation Portcullis (December 1942)

The Western Front:
Operation Weserübung
Operation Dynamo
Operation Neptune

The North Atlantic Convoy Raids:
Operation Berlin
Operation Rheinübung
Operation Cerberus
Operation Rösselsprung
Operation Sizilien
The campaign to sink the Tirpitz

The Black Sea:
Operation 60,000

Operations in the Far East:
The British Eastern Fleet
Task Force 74 movements
Operation Jaywick
Operation Rimau
Japanese Reconnaissance of Australia
Operation Diplomat
Operation Cockpit
Operation Crimson
Operations Lightning and Matador
Operation Meridian I
Operation Meridian II
The destruction of the Brake and the Charlotte Schliemann
U.S. Task Force Operations around Morotai and The Philippines
Australian minesweeping and ASW operations


Of course, to list here all the Operations plus the historic convoys and other traffic added would take pages, so this list is just a sample of what military action you can expect to find in GWX.

At the time of this posting, the GWX campaign contains more than 950,000 lines of code and is expected to probably break 1,000,000 by release day... Each line checked digitally to ensure its viability and reliability.

Stock SH3 only offers roughly half as much content... and no other campaign package available in SH3 can claim to be as robust.

GWX... expanding your horizons.

What would be really neat is if the grid map could be extended north a bit into the arctic. In Wolves At War we've just opened up the 11th Flotilla out of Bergan, and my first patrols were actually "off map". :)

Does SH3 support grid refs north of AE/AF? Such as the AA grid? Would it be as easy as simply using a different grid overlay or does it go deeper than that?

You know what they should do? Hire the GWX team to finish the game. Give them a contract, paychecks, an SDK, and a company name. Ubisoft SubSim sounds nice:p.

I can only say....GWX is some crazy sh!t....not that its crazy but it makes me crazy I just cant Decide which ship I want to sink first!!! they are so beautifull...my officers are making an arguement about it!
Officer 1: that one!
Officer 2: No THAT ONE!
Officer 3: No no no! look at that one!!! SINK IT!!!
Me: SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! you are driving me nuts!

Dont worry, cheapskate, its not NYGM. But it IS harder than GW. Anyway, Lehmann mentioned something about an option for less nerve rattling action.

Anyway, I absolutely love GWX, and I am a eye candy kaleun myself.

I LOVE IT! WOHOOO! Its really as if SH3 was reborn.

Its really as if SH3 was reborn. I'll disagree with you completely. SH3 was never completed ergo it cannot be "reborn" since it was never born to begin with.

SH3 has been sitting half out of Ubi's birth canal for almost 2 years and the GWX team finally finished the delivery.

The GWX team has not forgotten the masses, this is still a mod for everyone. You'll just have to 'develop' the way you play a little.

It really is worth the effort of renewing your patrol tactics. Wait and see.

Not at all. GWX is a bit more complex than GW but it is not a hardcore sim. You don't have to be a U-Boat captain to play it. It is true that you have to change the tactics a bit, but the game, looks, feels and even plays much better. Trust me it's just BRILLIANT. Don't forget you can always adjust the realism settings as well, but I'm sure it will be everyone's favourite:D :D

Spot on mate! Original release now seems like a beta test version....and an early one at that!

@ Stabiz, Melnibonian, Danlisa et al.

Thanks for your reassurances guys. As members of the priviliged majority, you are in a position to know whats in there, and you wouldn't exaggerate ( or tell outright porkies) now would you :D

BTW Hope any NYGM aficionados aren't upset by implication that it is only a ' realism' mod. It looks good too and plays nicely ... plus it's the only major mod that I could get running first time. Just a got a bit discouraged by being massacred by Swordfishes on the Flak Artillery training mission!

11-22-06, 05:30 PM
I guess this is a bit early to ask, but have you guys played with the idea of making expansions to SHIV? I know its difficult to tell now, since we dont know anything about SHIV, but my point is: Is GWX the last expansion you guys will ever make.....?

stabiz
11-22-06, 06:33 PM

I do keep coming back in hopes of seeing something about, not to get off topic say, the GWX campaign? :rotfl:

Since that was by far the weakest part of TGW and it is really the core of the game the thread was nice.

Until more important topics pushed it aside like the prowess of the Canadian military and its desire to go from an English heritage to a French one.

If they keep disarming a couple Detroit Street gangs might decide to over run the country which would create a disorganized ineffective government.
So I guess most wouldn't know the difference

The Coast Guard here caught some guys smuggling cocaine into the US with a home made submarine. Maybe Canada could upgrade their sub fleet (and I use the term fleet very loosely) by buying that one!

So, will the GWX go to realistic numbers of escorts for later convoys? Not to get away from bashing the Canadian military which is no more than accurately assessing it!

The Coast Guard here caught some guys smuggling cocaine into the US with a home made submarine. Maybe Canada could upgrade their sub fleet (and I use the term fleet very loosely) by buying that one!

So, will the GWX go to realistic numbers of escorts for later convoys? Not to get away from bashing the Canadian military which is no more than accurately assessing it!

Wulfmann

The number and quality of escorts is generally balanced against SH3 game engine performance as well as the timeframe and size of the convoy involved. Specifically, we have made the escorts more effective to account for game engine issues. Everything from crew qualities to convoy spacing has been thought of... Though no doubt you will only bitch about it later.

Quite often in SH3, just plugging in real life data results in a traffic jam or a data flow bottleneck.

As I said I enjoy tweaking so don’t mind making it a little harder or more real, in a manner I see for my version, obviously, even if I were right it would not matter and that to is OK.
I play SH3 because I like it.

Are we gonna need another new GWX News thread?

I hope not.

Yea, lets try to stay focused on what's important, can we?

We've got a game here which has become much more enjoyable for thousands of players because of people like those in the GW team and the rest of the modding community. They all deserve an applaud and I sure hope we all don't lose site of that fact.

GWX is another addition and option for those who want it, and you don't have to pay a penny for it, either.

It would be a shame if certain individuals make careless and insensitive comments which could ultimately lead to an exodus of much appreciated modders. Don't forget that.

Watch as I desperately attempt to get this topic back on track!

Guys, if you cannot discuss what you like/dislike about a game or mod without personal attacks, taunts, and over-the-top ranting, you will be getting a PM from the admin, and possibly an unpleasant avatar. Do not come back with "he started it", "no, he did!", etc. If you cannot get a grip, turn on the TV or something.

Yes, at least seven RAAF bases that maintained ASW squadrons are included. All are placed in their correct location.

Whilst I'm prolly not at liberty to say where all of them are, I will say, in an effort to again reinforce the attention to detail afforded the GWX campaign files, that one of them is at Rathmines. Hang around the E-SE coast of Australia too long and you may find yourself under attack by elements of Nos 11, 20 or 107 Squadron RAAF. ;)

I'm sure that once you sail anywhere near Australia you'll quickly find out where the other six bases are too, LOL!

EDIT: Oh, and don't think that you'll be safe by hugging the NZ coast...

Not quite sure what the purpose of the posted links are for - the GWX RAAF and RNZAF airbase locations have already been extensively researched by myself with the most relevant and prominent being added. Remember the limitations of SH3 - adding any more airbases results in constant hordes of air attacks, which is definately NOT reflective of actual ASW patrols in the region during 1943 to 1945.

Right now it seems incredible that they can add anything about Japan given how much has gone into the actual Atlantic Campaign.

If this is called an expansion to TGW what the hell is an update gonna look like.:hmm:

I dont think we will go much further west as it will encroach on SHIV territory and dont want to upset the devs

Med War and Pacific War in One Omega Mega Mod

I dont think we will go much further west as it will encroach on SHIV territory and dont want to upset the devsI can imagine the faces of the SH4 devs if marketting reported that, "er, guys, it would appear no one's buying Silent Hunter 4 as there's this mod, Gay Valves Expansion or something, that adds every single Silent Hunter 4 feature to Silent Hunter III, plus many more ships, the ability to play as an amphibious tank commander, and photos of Tokyo Rose nude to put in your Captain's Quarters. Furthermore, there's this Norwegian ***** who's planning a project called "Chinese Operations", which'll make the mod even more expansive!":o.
