GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod)

[rod_oil]

Hi to all! The first: thank u GWX team :up: :rock: !!!!!

The second: I got strong expression that my acoustic hear sail vessels. Am I wrong?:hmm:

[Rasher]

Thanks everyone your replies are appreciated. Especcially SubType Zero

Thing is, I realise that things slow down near land etc but since upgrading my hardware and playing GWX 2.0 and SH3Cmdr 2.7 along with few other mods that the gamne has really slowed down. Even when im well clear of land at 1024 or 2048 TC, the view on the bridge is 1 fps and takes about 1 to 2 seconds to change, Never remember having this problem before. I did mess around with my memory timings and made them slighty slower to gain a more stable machine. Perhaps this has affected the fps? I upgraded my G.Card from 6600GT to an 8600GT. Cant understand why it would be the graphics. Gonna try turning down Anti Alaising or whatever its called. Its at x4 at the momment. As for fatigue Im not sure about turning it off completely. I quite liked rotating the crew now and again. I will try the values you posted STZ.

Cheers

You are correct. We've been unable to remove that quirk. It would seem that it somehow relates to stock SH3 hydrophone behavior.

Danke, herr Kapitan!:D I can live with this bug in this case. In other aspect GWX is great work! Dream in reality! Its not a game simulator, its a historic reconstruction now!:up:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Now it's my turn to feel like an idiot. I've searched under every category I could, and I know I saw this not long ago, but for the life of me I can't find it now: is there a way to shut the Watch Officer up while in port? I know I can just remove him from his post, but I don't remember him being this annoyingly talkative in the past. Sometimes he'll repeat the same ship over and over.

I'd shoot the guy, but I know his replacement will be just as bad.

[edit] Oops, 'nother question: I've put my favorite Bf-109 skin into the textures folders, and it doesn't show up. How do I fix this?

Sorry your post was missed Steve.

Unfortunately, the yakkity-yakking WO is a stock SH3 issue that occurs when units pass in and out of the "edge of perception" regarding the visual sensors.

The only way to shut him up is to send him below or to silence his voice files... which I do not recommend because you'll need him to verbally notify you out at sea.

(Truth be told... I've gotten so used to him, that I don't really notice anymore, LOL!)

Regarding your Me109 skin... can you upload it for me to look at here? It may not be compatible since we rebuilt the Me109 in SH3. (Otherwise you can just repack the skin file into the dat file for that aircraft and it should function.)

[Sailor Steve]

Here is the file:
http://files.filefront.com/MesserschmittBF109tga/;9675141;/fileinfo.html

As for my Watch Officer, I've tried removing him, with no luck. It still drops back to 1x every few seconds. I have 'When Near Land' set for 64x, so that's not the problem.

Have rec'd the Me109 skin. Will test it in the next couple of days.

Regarding the removal of the WO and TC still dropping, what that says to me is that if any watchman spots a unit, it will drop TC whether or not there is a verbal notification. (Each represents a visual sensor at any rate.)

[Sailor Steve]

Well, I can see where it might take a couple of days real time to get through the Kanal. The highest I've been able to get is 8x, and that only for one second or less. I haven't experienced this problem in the past, and I've always used some form of 16km mod or other.

As for the Bf-109, it wasn't until you mentioned rebuilding them that I remembered: all those clear canopies with pilots inside didn't just appear out of nowhere. As much as I like that skin, it is pretty old.

[Jimbuna]

The only option you have IMO is to up the TC of near land, sighting aircraft, ships etc. Once through the canal, save, exit and change the TC back before recommencing patrol.
What a feck on :damn:

[lorcan3]

:damn: First the torpedos then someone says "Hey check out my files on Megaupload!". Sorry laddie. Not only do your files suck, but they crash AFTER you click on the map in the room. I didn't add anything to my boat except crewmembers. But every single time I clicked on the map, 3/4 of the way it crashed when downloading a mission in the career mode. PLUS it has a dating thing that pops up time after time that showed people from my state wanting a love mate. I don't like having to turn off my monitor AFTER my 16 year old daughter turns it on when it shows a few women bending over forward not wearing any undies! Try explainin' THAT to your wife after your daughter complains about it!

[lorcan3]

:arrgh!: :damn: Does ANYBODY have files that work that will correct these problems yet run smoothly?That's all I'm askin'.

My 'Near Land' TC is already set to 64! It won't go past 8, and then for less than a second before dropping back to 1!

:damn: indeed.:rotfl:

On the other hand, I'm just testing stuff right now anyway, not trying to run a real career. We'll see what happens when I get serious.

[Gezur(Arbeit)]

Is it normal that the mast-length is differnt from what the ID-book shows? :huh:

http://www.abload.de/img/screenshot_133wp0.jpg

If we take the picture (with 30 meters hight) the mast (x2) should be 60 M.

ID says 37 meters. ID-picture says 30 meters.

[harzfeld]

:arrgh!: :damn: Does ANYBODY have files that work that will correct these problems yet run smoothly?That's all I'm askin'.

I think the files you would need is MD5 Mate to be sure u have download full files and correction full installation procedures. Also I think you may have some spywares, u should run anti-spyware to clean em out, maybe anti-virus too.

[Christoff]

I can't see this being a fault of GWX myself.
And it's not very sporting to say that someones' hard work 'Sucks' either m8.
That's exactly the 'Not' way to get help. :nope:
I've found if you ask nicely and explain your problem, You get a lot more help than you can cope with, and more times than not, someone on here can solve it. :up:

The ID images in the recognition manual are not to scale, that's why you have the info you do running along the top. If they were made to be in scale, the would not fit the page horizontally.;)

[danlisa]

@ lorcan3

Visit the GWX homepage and view the FAQ section. Read about how to use MD5 mate and check out your GWX installation files. While there, make sure you have followed the installation instructions to the letter.

Guten tag, Kameraden!

I've just downloaded and installed GWX 2.0, and I'm giving it a thorough shakedown cruise. I'm running the English version of SH3.

One of the first things I noticed was that the recognition book didn't have lightships in it. I didn't think much about this at the time. However, on a recent patrol near Hull, I came across an enemy tug, and nearby was a lightship. After sinking the tug, I attempted to line up on the lightship and nothing would lock, nor would the crew recognise it as a visual sighting. I closed to 300 metres, and still nothing. I put three torpedoes into it, resulting in fires and smoke, but it wouldn't sink.

I've done a search through this thread and the only reference to lightships is a hotfix for the German keyboard (which includes a recognition page for lightships). My first questions: Is there a glitch in the English version relating to the lightship, and if so, is there (or will there be) a fix?

My second issue relates to a mod that replaced the stock officer, hydrophone and sonar faces in SH3 with some from "Das Boot". Is this mod compatible with GWX 2.0? Is so, what is the best way to load it on?

Cheers and thanks in anticipation,

Tim.

I found also tug boat and lightship. You are right I saw lightship but she was not visible on the map (only tug boat) !

I think the lightships are modelled as 'land objects' instead of ships for some reason. As I understand it, there is a small boat placed nearby to give the watch crew something to 'see'.

Yes, it's fully compatible. It's the only one I ever use. Do you have it? Do you need it?

Assuming you have it: The two files can go directly into Data/Menu/Gui/Layout, replacing the ones that are there. If you use JSGME, then create a series of folders with those labels, and put them inside another folder, labelled 'Das Boot Officers' (actually, you can call it anything you like. I just use whatever is easiest to remember). That folder will then go directly into JSGME's Mods folder.

Assuming you don't have it, here it is, ready to go:

3 Jane and Steve,

Thanks very much for your advice and assistance. I've noted your comments about the lightship, and also downloaded a fresh copy of the "Das Boot" mod.

Cheers and kindest regards.

I wish to make an apology. Sometimes I get sooooo:damn: frustrated I could pull my hair out. I'm sorry I said the things that I said. All I wish is to get a decent GWX 2.0 program that doesn't crash, the torpedos don't disappear and that stupid microsoft error reporting box doesn't pop up right in the middle of an exciting battle. I mean, you lads have put so much work in this mod with the addition of the ships, planes and such. Why doesn't UBI put out SH3 with all the latest patches PLUS the GWX 2.0 after they iron out the bugs. Maybe give it another name like, I don't know, THE GREY WOLVES perhaps? It's a shame that noone else gets to enjoy the game. So, apology accepted?:D

Apology accepted... But never do that again. :stare: ;)
Remember that each and everyone of us GWX team members test the work we have done : so everything in GWX works fine, otherwise we wouldn't release it :huh:. If anything wrong happens, report the CTD, and you'll get informations from us about it, but keep in mind that the responsible could most probably be your computer. :hmm:

And by the way... Sink them all ! :stare:

Righteoooooo.....now that we're back on an even keel http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

After you've followed the instructions from the GWX website, you may want to carry out an extra precautionary measure I perform.
Insert your game disc and select the 'uninstall' option. If there are any hidden files left, this option will be open to you. There are not always hidden files left, but on occasion there are.
What is absolutely key to the success of the process is ensuring the SH3 folder in C:MyDocs and the corresponding folder in C:Program Files (the whole Ubisoft folder if you only have SH3 contained within it) are deleted in their entirity.

Report back if you encounter any difficulties.

Good Luck http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

:damn: Well Jimbuna, I downloaded your files and started all over again. I made sure there were no SH3 files on the computer and did a search just to make sure. I downloaded the files onto a folder on my desktop labeled GWX 2.0, reinstalled the game and reinstalled the patches to 1.4b. Then I pressed the GWX.exe icon for setup and off it went. For a while. It got 50% of the way down then a gray box appeared and asked me for disk 4. It didn't recognize the GWX-4.bin file in the folder. I tried again with the same results. Any solutions?:damn: :arrgh!:

Initially I was going to ask if you put all the bin files in the same folder as the exe.....it would appear you have.

Check all the GWX2.0 files individually with the MD5 programme.......It is possible bin 4 is corrupt and needs to be downloaded again.

If that doesn't fix the problem then it is highly likely you still have some residual files stored somewhere in your system........Manually delete the SH3 folder in C:/MyDocs AND USE THE GAME DISC ONLY TO UNINSTALL THE SH3 FILES (using the uninstall option from the choices the disc gives you after inserting it via your CD/DVD Rom)......after completion of the uninstall, check for a folder in your C drive entitled Ubisoft....and providing you have no other Ubisoft games installed, delete that file.

Download RegVac: http://www.download.com/RegVac-Registry-Cleaner/3000-2263_4-10797012.html and run it through your system. It will detect any unused files as well as those that no longer have any purpose being in your system eg. SH3 and delete them.

Finally, perform a search in your computer for anything called 'SH3', Ubisoft etc. before reinstalling via the letter of the comprehensive installation instructions available from the GWX website (available by clicking on my sig).

Good Luck :up:

[lorcan3]

I'm sorry kamerad, your files didnot jive with mp5 mate. I had a chat wit danlouise and he said to check them out thoroughly which I did. None of the files matched.

[Fubar2Niner]

@lorcan3

First up is it the GWX2-4.bin file alone your having problems with? If so I can put thit up on my ftp providing this is ok with GWX and Subsim guys. To be honest I could never figure md5 either, it never worked for me :doh: However I thought what the hey and went ahead and installed, I never looked back. :rock:

If I see no objections here I'll pm you login details.

PS unfortunately I'm 512 up, but the offer is there.

BTW, did you check you other thread?

[lorcan3]

Kpt. Lehman's file is on page 1. Go to the GWX homepage and there you will see his file on filefront. That's where I got them from. Right now I am downloading the whole batch from gameshadow. It'll take some time to download even though I have broadband but I have other things to do right now like cleaning my arsenal and getting ready for the Islamic horde that will be pouring across our shores once Osama bin Obama is elected Prez. Hang 'em up from the yardarm I say!:arrgh!: Better yet, walk the plank into an ocean full of hungry man-eating sharks! ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!:arrgh!: :rock: :sunny: :|\\ :up: :cool: :lol: :D :ping:

[danlisa]

Why are you re-downloading them? You checked them with MD5 mate and they were fine, or so you said.

The problem must be with your SH3 1.4b installation. As in your other thread.;)

[lorcan3]

I read your last message last night and just for the hell of it, I rechecked them again. Turns out I transposed some numbers or something and the red messegage came up. Well, I wasn't going to waste my day downloading file by file, so I registered with gameshadow and now I'm downloading the bulk file. All 1.2 gbytes of it and it'll take me about 26 hrs. to do it but it'll get done. I will then check the files with the MP5 Mate and MAKE SURE that all files match. Now are all the files about as updated as they can be? No disappearing torpedos when you load the external stores to the inside? The appearance of the error reporting box asking if you want to report the error to Microsoft? That was the only 2 problems I had with the mod. Oh, and if you played the gramaphone after a while the game would crash. I really do like the tunes, though. Much better than Deutschland uber alles all the time when you leave and enter port.

[danlisa]

OK, seems you're on the way.

The files you are downloading are the latest. Except for one fix the team released, the Armed Trawler CTD fix which you can find on the GWX Download Page and it needs enabling via JSGME when you have installed the GWX 2.0 files.

Re the game crashing while using the Grammophone - If the files you have added or are playing are not OGG format, there is every chance the game will CTD. It's an old Stock issue where the game will have a hissy fit if you play anything other than OGG format, like MP3 or WAV.;)

Re dissappearing Torpedos - Well, I have been playing this game since it's release with every GW/GWX mod ever made and I have never had that happen to me.:yep: Can't explain that for you, unless your SH3 1.4b install is at fault.

I'll let you into a little secret.;) GWX 2.0 is MORE stable than Stock 1.4b, provided you know the original games issue & quirks. Seriously, I don't know why everyone is having so much trouble with the stability of GWX 2.0. I have completed over 25 patrols and GWX 2.0 has never caused me any problems, ever.;)

Every issue that has been posted in this forum is either new users who are not familiar with the original SH3's issues or user mistakes in the installation/maintenance of their game.

You know, you've got me thinking about a possible thread that lists oll of SH3's CTD/Issue causing elements and how to avoid them.:hmm: It would help so many people if they would read it.:rotfl:

[lorcan3]

:damn: Well, Here I am, 10:00 in the mornin', bright eyed and bushy tailed. I run to my computer to check on my download from Gameshadow and what do I see? A freakin' gray box tellin' me that my connection to Gameshadow.com has been timed out. And when I HAD 6 MINUTES LEFT ON MY DOWNLOAD!

Now I'm told that these problems are old ones and have been ironed out and Kpt. Lehman's files are old files and I need to get the NEW files. But don't they have somewhere when the the file was made?

KPT. LEHMANNS FILES ARE NOT OLD.....THEY ARE THE SAME (AS IN IDENTICAL) TO ALL THE OTHER FILES FROM EACH AND EVERY SOURCE EMINATING FROM THE GWX WEBSITE.

WHOEVER TOLD YOU OTHERWISE IS BADLY MISTAKEN/WRONG.

ANYBODY D/L FILES FROM THE SUBSIM LINKS ARE ACTUALLY D/L KPT. LEHMANNS FILES. THE SUBSIM LINKS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN POINTERS/CONNECTORS TO HIS FILEFRONT ACCOUNT.
THOUSANDS HAVE ACCESSED AND D/L FROM SAID LINK AND ARE PLAYING THE MOD WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS/HASSLE.

IF YOU WERE TO VISIT THE GWX WEBSITE, GO TO THE D/L PAGE AND YOU WILL SEE A LIST OF FILEFRONT, FILEFACTORY,TORRENT AND MEGAUPLOAD LINKS.

IF YOU CLICK ON THEM YOU WILL FIND A VARIETY OF D/L FILE INFORMATION

EG: KPT. LEHMANN HAS EXPERIENCED OVER 5,000 HITS, I AM APPROACHING 2,000, DOWN TO MELNIBONIAN WITH 60 OR SO, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
THE TORRENT LINK AND MEGAUPLOAD LINKS I BELIEVE ARE ALSO MINE.

ALL OF THIS IS REALLY IRRELEVANT BECAUSE NO MATTER WHERE OR FROM WHOM YOU D/L THE LINKS FROM.....THEY ARE ALL THE SAME......THEY ALL ORIGINATED FROM THE SAME FILE.

MIGHT I SUGGEST YOU D/L ALL THE FILES FROM ONE SOURCE (USE MINE, ACCESSIBLE FROM BELOW MY SIG, IF YOU LIKE).
IF YOU STILL EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS I AM 100% CONFIDENT THE GWX TEAM WILL DO THEIR UTMOST TO HELP YOU......BUT I SUSPECT THE PROBLEM LIES WITH YOUR COMPUTER AND NOT THE GWX FILES. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

Hi chaps,

I'm working on a mission so that I can get some more film clips. Can anyone assist me in letting me know whice file I should edit to increase the max speed of AI type 2a (s-boats) boats so that they are capable of the same speed as player controlled boats and if there's a program that I should use to make the edit, I'm assuming, possibly wrongly that it's a dat file. At the moment their top speed is 13 knots and I can run rings around them :)

Also is there a way to have both flak gun crew and watch crew on deck at the same time? again I'm assuming a file edit somewhere but this might not be so straightforward I guess.

Thanks and best regards

Aces

Edit :

I found the cfg file NSS_Uboat2a.cfg with these values :

SnorkelDepth=0.95;meters
CrashDepth=70;meters

AheadStandard=0.59
AheadFull=0.84
AheadFlank=1.00
BackSlow=-0.12
BackStandard=-0.24
BackFull=-0.38
BackEmergency=-0.48

I'm assuming that there's only one file which is for AI and player controlled so the max. 13 Knots setting in the mission editor must be somewhere else.

2nd Edit : Sorted, I changed the max speed in the cfg file :) :)

Okay lads. I followed directions to the letter. When I downloaded the GWX 2.0 file, this came up:C:\Program files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter III\data\Sea\NKBL_\NKBL_T04.tga
An error occured while reading this file. The source file is corrupt. Anybody tell me which GWX .bin this is located at so I can try to reload it? Or is it corrupt that I shouldn't try?:hmm:

[lorcan3]

:hmm: It turned out that number 4.bin was bad and I have to reload it. We'll see how it does tomorrow.:hmm: :ping: :arrgh!:

Don't forget to use your seatbelts tonight lads. Looks like we're headed for some VERY rough seas tonight!
We had to install seatbelts on our bunks because we were taking over 45 degree rolls while crossing the North Atlantic en route to the Meditteranean Ocean. Went through a VERY nasty huriccane gale for a week. Hit the steel deck 3 times in one night from 7 feet up and decided to get some seatbelts and rivet them onto my bunk. My shipmates liked the idea and did the same.

There is a bug when you are running a Type IXD/40; someone else suggested that you can work around it by only moving one torpedo from the external bay to the internal storage at a time. Don't start moving the next one until the first is completly loaded in it's bin.

Myself, I decided to stick to the Type IXC. It has the range I need provided I stick to 9 knots or so (23,000 km more or less, depending on weather.

:sunny: Well laddies, I'm definately a happy camper! No disappearing torpedos, no error boxes, just good fun. I decided to start in 1939 in 2nd flotilla out of Wilhelmshaven. Started out with a VIIC and got assigned to the AM sector. Never got there. Had a little run in with the HMS Hood, a couple of Renowns, a C & D and something else. Popped off two torps at the C & D and went as deep as I could. Didn't work. Even shut off the engines but to no avail. We sank too deep from the damage and became fish food. But there WERE NO PROBLEMS OR ERRORS! I loved it. I forgot to change the depth of my torpedos to 2 feet or I would've sank that little scheisskopf! All I saw it do was run right underneath it. Thanks again danlisa and all you folks for your input. I REALLY do appreciate it. Thanx!:ping: :rock: :sunny: :arrgh!: :|\\

Ahoy to all GWX team members.

Today I read that Mush Martin is stopped work on the Uberboot mod. I think that Type XI cruiser has been nice add on sub in future versions of GWX mod of course if somebody have will to continue Mush Martin work and then integrated it into GWX.

What you think?

For wahat I was in the team, it was concentrated to get the game as realistic as posssible, so no, I dont think there will be support from GWX team to überboot.

I FIND YOUR LACK OF CONCERN DISTURBING, CAPTAIN.

OK, but can you at least say which of the two is correct? I mean is GWX intended to be light at night, or dark?

Both were intended to be "light" due to differences in monitors that typically made for darker display on LCD monitors.

Apparently it has escaped notice until now... including by myself.

Being a graphic issue, it takes second-seat to coding issues. Assuming the ENV file TGA's can be ported from the 8km default visibility mod to the 16km visibility mod... it should be no problem. If there is more to it... We'll see what happens.


Oh I hope this is an easy fix.... I really do like the 16k mod. But, as you know already, have one of those darker LCD monitors and just cant take the night without being able to at least see the bow of my Uboat.

Please let us know in the read me if you alter the 16k mod? If not I will just use the 8k mod and be happy.

There is no "Official" support to Mush.

1 rocket hit me today <.< I submerged, becasue 2 frighters spotted me in clear daylight and began to shoot (I didnt want to atk. them becasue both were 2k tons frighters...) 20 mins later (thinking i was out of their range) I surfaced and 10 seconds later I had serveral damage reports, i went on bridge and saw the the stripe (the air behind a rocket ^^) of the rocket in the air...didnt even know planes in Sh3 had the ability to aim with rockets.....well just bad luck i surfaced when the plane was 300 meters away( and i didnt use the observation scope bcause i didnt think that would happen ^^)

btw it was in the carribean.

just a question... I may ask for too much I know... but just a questio:

Would it be possible to nt end a patrol with docking at any other harbor than the homeport?

I mean I dock at a Michkuh to refuel and reload and suddenly all "unrepairable" damage I repaired as well as the hull.

Just an idea... dunno if that is possible to change in game the fuel and torpedo loading without ending the patrol.

Had this one case: boat had severe damage taken from a harsh fight with some DDs and attack and obs scope were out... so normaly a case of "heading home!" but fuel was short so I docked at U461 and miracle... miracle... shiney and new...

If it is not changable... forget it.

1 The kriegsmarine Grid system... you find AN5623 by finding the Grid square AN56 then mentally dividing that square up into another 9 squares, then finding the 2nd square, divide that up into 9 squares again, and find the 3rd square...that gives you a fiarly accurate location of the reported contact

as to 2. there is a conversion table out there somewhere, but I couldn't tell you where.... you could try uboat.net

Gents-

Are the radio messages in GWX that come from other subs to the BdU just "decoration", or are they actually happening in-game?

For example, sometimes you'll see a message

To: BdU
From: U-65

Convoy steaming East at grid AM6591, shadowing

If I proceed to that grid, will I actually find a U-boat shadowing a convoy, or is that just message traffic to make the game more "immersive"?

Welcome to Subsim.:up:

First off, you can't buy GWX, it's a freeware mod and is distributed free of charge.

Ok, seems that your SH3 maybe modded/changed. I suggest uninstalling it full and then reinstalling it. For instructions, look below my sig for the GWX homepage and visit the FAQ page.

When you have reinstalled SH3, right-click on the SH3.exe and check the version number, from there, you can find the right patch for you. Sounds as if you might need the EMEA Download patch but we can find that out later (please confirm if you have a DVD or Download). We can then point you directly to the correct patch.

Do this first, then we'll talk about installing GWX.:up:

My GWX doesn't run...

Since I installed the expansion, the game crashes everytime while a mission is nearly loaded.
The stock game works and the aces of the deep mod worked too. Then, I get the message that shIII has to be quit because of a problem...
Even the GWX Pack worked, a half year ago or so, and then suddenly the problem occured and i didnt have the time to search for a fix.

Now I installed the game again and looked forward to the new GWX 2.0...


:shifty:

I tried to disable mods like the 16km atmosphere by modsenabler. In the end I disabled everything I could, but it didn't work out.

Can anyone please help me???

[danlisa]

Welcome to Subsim.:up:

There's 2 possible causes here:

1) Your SH3 installation is not clean/unmodded or is not patched to 1.4b.
2) The GWX 2.0 files you downloaded are corrupted.

The solution to both of these issues are explained on the GWX Hompage via the FAQ section. Find the link below my Sig.:up:

Is there by chance a GWX 2.0 compatable skin mod for the VIIB that gives it a more weathered look? Also, I would really like to utilize SH3 Commander to change the skins periodically to maintain the simulation of RL wartime changes. Is there anything compatable that is pre-packaged out there? I know it can be done as SH3 has the date folders and it was done in the past, I just need the skins/date change info so I do not break anything. Thanks.

[Cheapskate]

Hi Philipp

I think the ' hiss maker' file you are looking for is :-

data/Sound/Collision_AntiSubmarineNet_int.wav

This is called when harbour defences are being drawn before a patrol starts.

Originally, in Stock SH3, it was more like an ear splitting screech. Your fellow Brazilian, Rubini (:rock: :rock:) , saved the hearing of many headphone wearing Subsimmers by turning down the volume in his Harbour Traffic mod so that it was inaudible. Other mods followed suit.

It is present in all the mods I've just looked at (NYGM, GWX, WAC)....its just that you can't hear it in-game. Although you can if you simply play the file from the Sounds directory

Cheers

Cheapskate

[melnibonian]

There are AI Subs that attack Convoys in the game. They only hunt on the surface though using their deck guns. Still if you find them you can join the attack and be a member of a virtual wolf pack. It's not the ideal situation but the game engine restricts proper wolf packs and submerged attacks by AI subs.

I thought about that but it didn't seem to make sense since this is the earliest possible starting date. So why is a ship reaching it's final waypoint and vanishing within 5 minutes of basically the big bang (the beginning of the SH3 universe)?

Is there a proper time to put this mod in. I put it in July 1942 & had all kinds of problems. There is no harbor traffic in it. When I put GWX lite harbor traffic in with the GWX Indian ocean campaign it conflicts with the GWX lite harbor traffic mod in the JSGME. The manual talks about August 1942 but does not say that this is the proper time to apply this mod in the game. I do not see when the proper time to activate this mods is. Can someone please help.

[melnibonian]

You need to enable the Indian Ocean Files only when you want to go to the Indian Ocean. If you're in the 10th Flotilla you will be transfered to Penang in September 1943.

[P_Funk]

I think to be as explicitly accurate as the manual is, you should activate the Indian Ocean files only when you will end your patrol in Indian Waters.

If you have been transferred to Penang but you'll be sailing out of a French port and going there yourself then you activate the files.

If you are sailing from Penang on patrol and expect to end your patrol in Penang then keep the files active.

If you are sailing from Penang to France and will end your patrol in a French or other European port then disable them.

[Jimbuna]

The 10th Flotilla is active in Penang from September 43 and Jakarta from November 44. Therefore, I wouldn't advise enabling the Indian Ocean Campaign prior to September 43.
Only enable when your in port, and perform a rollback first (if your using SH3Commander).

Better still, if your machine can handle it, enable the Merged Campaign file at the outset, then you can pick whatever Flotilla you prefer and transfers when they occur are of no significant importance.

Please forgive me as Im sure it's here somewhere and I've overlooked it. I want to start playing SH3 GWX style but want to have both versions on my machine to play. Can someone please give me specific step by step instructions for doing so? Thanks, B

It can be hard to find sometimes, even with the search function. I'm no expert, but there are two good suggestions here that should help:

Hi

I'm new on this forum.

Can someone tell me if this GWX mod is any good? :lol:

Where the hell is Lehnmann? Is he ok? No pm answer...

Hi

I'm new on this forum.

Can someone tell me if this GWX mod is any good? :lol:

No it's not !
The team works on this SH3 expansion for such a lot of time, and we don't even know why, cause it's really not good ! :p

Where the hell is Lehnmann? Is he ok? No pm answer...

Don't be afraid if you don't receive any PM from Kpt Lehmann, for 1 year now the Kapitän has switched to The Sims, cause he does not even like u-boote nor the atlantic ocean !
The whole team plays actually the Smurfs on Gameboy advance, but I sincerely prefer Sonic the Hedgehog myself !

Dan is right, Philipp, when you're in condition to f#%$ again after your hangover, don't hesitate to ask Jim !

Install of Multiple Versions

1)Complete a fresh install of SH3 + 1.4b as normal.
2)Create a copy of the program folder & rename as required.
3)Install your mod of choice to the renamed version.
4)Create and rename shortcuts as required.
5)Use MultiSH3 to create separate save locations for each install.

SH3 Commander & Multiple Installs

It is recommended to have a separate install of Commander for each different install of SH3.
1)Install SH3Commander and rename the program folder to suit.
2)Rename each SH3Cmdr shortcut as required.
3)You will need to use the l: switch to point SH3Cmdr to the right installation.

Here's an example of the l: switch for dual installs, just tailor it to fit.....

Right click on the SH3Cmdr shortcut & choose properties.

Target
"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent HunterIII-GWX"

Start in
"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX"

[danlisa]

LOL, I thought you'd like that.:rotfl:

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Well actually I'm not really asking for help... I already know everything there's to know about the game... lol

I was just pushing an offtopic conversation, I know everybody loves to just chat once in a while, we can't always keep focused on the game and the game's problems. And about Lehnmann, was not a PM about the game, was a PM about live, the "how are you doing" sort of stuff. Sometimes we just talk about regular inlife stuff via PM, but I've noticed that he desappeared lately. Wondering whats wrong...

I know Jim can help with most of the stuff, but why bully him with just ingame doubts and questions all the time? He's a human being too!

How's things going, Jim?

I've the impression that the overall age of the GWX crew is over 30. Am I right? Im 24, and sometimes I feel like the youngest one in this forum, coz everybody else is so serious and dont joke around like I do.

Well, hope everybody's ok!

Cheers!

suggestion for the HULL status in 2.1

GWX removes the % of the hull... but without replacement.

Imho the crew knew roughly how much the boat has taken and how good the hull was in shape... so why not give a rough status of the hull instead of removing the % completly?

I thought of something like:

excellent 100%

good (99-80%)
slightly damaged (79-60%)
damaged(59-40%)
ripped(39-20%)
don't you even ask 20% and less

each for a range of 20% whereas excellent only is for 100% hull

Hardcoded! It's either on or off. The values can't be 'randomised' to give the inaccurate reading you suggest.

Then again, I've been proved wrong before.

[Rykaird]

Really enjoying GWX 2.0, thanks very much guys, great work. No problems in game, but the game locks at exit.

I have Steve's Das Boot sound pack, SH3C 3.0, no other mods. Any ideas?

[Sailor Steve]

At exit? After leaving the mission or while exiting the game itself? I sometimes get the "SHIII has encountered a problem and must shut down" message, but it's always after I'm completely done, so it doesn't actually affect anything and I just ignore it. I'm at a loss on your problem.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. When I exit the program it locks, and I get the error you described. It isn't occasional for me, it is consistent.

I'm not sure if it impacts anything either. Hopefully it doesn't cause issues with the data recording done by SH3C.

[bert8for3]

Way overdue, just upped to GWX2. Hadn't wanted to lose my old career until now.

So this belated, but loud thanks to the GWX crew for a terrific mod :up: .

I did say "occasionally", but I don't really play these days; I start a career just to test stuff. Back when I was playing all the time I think I got the message quite often, if not every time. It's worrisome at first, but I don't think it hurts anything.

Still, it would be nice to make it stop. Have you clicked the boxes to see what the error actually is?

[Madox58]

Are you by chance running Norton?
I use to get that all the time till I dumped Norton's stuff.

Comp specs ?
Can be low virtual memory that gives that error

[JScones]

I remember getting errors on exit for a very short while. It ended up being caused by file incompatibility. I think, at least in my case, that I hadn't installed the GWX cfg files into SH3Cmdr. Or I enabled a non-GWX compatible mod. I can't quite remember but it was certainly something as simple as that.

It's a sound file conflict. You probably have stereo files mixed with mono files.

Mikael

[Sailor Steve]

That's probably true. I just today discovered some stereo files in the Das Boot pack. Looks like I have some reworking to do. Simple, though; it's only the handful of .wav files.

And in my case I have the added problem that BBW mentioned: I have memory problems.


Not me...the computer.


Well, me too, but that's another story.

[Jimbuna]

Norton is a real memory hogg.....use ghost to take an image of your OS but that should be all.
Better off using something like Kaspersky or nod32 http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4030/winkbigid2zj6.gif

[Wreford-Brown]

Or AVG. It takes only a fraction of the resources to run, is completely free and found a virus that Norton had missed on my system.
Needless to say I've dumped my Norton subscription.

[Jimbuna]

AVG Free Edition is okay, but hardly comparable to Kaspersky and nod32 IMHO.

[Graf Paper]

Yeah, but it works, causes no software conflicts, and it's free.

Adding it up with "Spybot Search 'n' Destroy" and "a-squared" gives you some peace of mind I never had with Norton.

These days, Norton's stuff is nothing more than a resource hog and uninstalling it can break your Windows so badly you have to re-install your OS.

To each his own.

That CTD on exit does indeed sound like a file/software incompatibility or it might even be a file that got mangled during a read/write access. Windows is notorious for sloppy file keeping.

Hello!
I played sh1, sh2(a dream come true, some missions I played over and over), and I got myself sh3. I didn't play it much cause yes, it was great, but some things were annoying me(sh4 I don't play, sorry yanks, das boot and all, sh1 was enuf). Some time ago, a month in fact, I downloaded 1.04 patch and accidentally(yes, pure curiosity) I typed mods for sh3. And I really, really stood surprised :o when I saw there are so many people liking das boot and u-boats and.. I was into some other games and mods, never thought there were mods for this type of game. I chose gwx 2.0(somehow telling me you are nuts for realism, and yes, I agree, the name, grey wolves was what won me over) for download and I must say I would download it solely for tipperary and for museum(I really like bismarck the way it is now :doh: and all those boats I read about in books), and only to write that gwx manual it takes time and time, not talking about stability of the mod and testing which must have been hard considering the game. I can only say you are madmen :D and thank you. I played for awhile, still trying to determine the speed of the boats correctly, but I must say it's fun now. This was the praise. Now I downloaded sh3 commander and I more or less figured it out(can I use seasonal waves or 2.0 or original gwx waves?). I found out about sh3 gen, it's interesting. My question is in fact does using those mods and programs makes the gwx game better and still stable, or it's not recomendable. I know what it says in manual, just thinking as a newbie you can answer me based on your experience. Thanks in advance. Also, I read about gwx 2.1. I totally agree with deck gun. I've read that it is more difficult to shoot with dg in gwx. I dunno, I sunk two ships with 50, 60 shells again. So, yes, you have to make it so that I or anyone use it only when it's really, really clear weather. A stabiliser for perscope would be great too, considering I read it was in reality..
P.S. I can really can call myself lucky, cause for developing a great mod for the game, it takes years and a great will and I found it when it is near perfect. Great mod! Just one more thing, I'm currently practicing shooting and I will not start a career while I have the ability to deck gun the whole fleet, so take your time, just not too much :D
P.S.S. I've noticed the weather didn't change, it bugs me that wind with 15m per second. Thats all. Cheers!

Thank you for your imput

I've used the dual install then MultiSH3; i've played with GWX and SH3 and saved a single mission just to very that it'all ok. :rock: :rock: and it is :yep: :yep:

About Sh3 commander, I've to install it in two separete subdirectory under SH3 and GWX and then modify the two shortcuts so each one point to the right subdir ????

TIA

[JScones]

SH3 Commander & Multiple Installs

It is recommended to have a separate install of Commander for each different install of SH3.
1)Install SH3Commander and rename the program folder to suit.
2)Rename each SH3Cmdr shortcut as required.
3)You will need to use the l: switch to point SH3Cmdr to the right installation.

Here's an example of the l: switch for dual installs, just tailor it to fit.....

Right click on the SH3Cmdr shortcut & choose properties.

Target
"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent HunterIII-GWX"

Start in
"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander-GWX"
FYI this will not work with SH3Cmdr R3.0. In R3.0 you set the path via SH3 Options. The /l: switch is no longer supported and will simply be ignored.

So all I've to do is instalilng SH3Cmdr R3.0 in two different subdir pointing via sh3 options to the two subdir where I've GWX and SH3 ?

Correct. No more stuffing around with shortcuts.

When SH3Cmdr is installed it will naturally point itself to your default SH3 installation. Simply go to the SH3 Options screen and select the SH3 installation that you would prefer to connect to SH3Cmdr.

Can anyone explain whats happen? I patrol now area near Gibraltar and every time when I meet lone merchant its a Granville-type freighter. Is it simple coincedence or maybe something more?:hmm:

Can you replace SH 3 Commander 2.7 with 3.0 while in port or at the milk cow without loosing any data of your game?

[donw]

Can you replace SH 3 Commander 2.7 with 3.0 while in port or at the milk cow without loosing any data of your game?

Prior "Game data" is never changed by Cmdr. However...prior "Cmdr" data WILL be.
If for some strange reason...you decide not to read the "Readme"..(which is called SH3CUG.pdf) you should at least know...you MUST rollback before upgrading.

:hmm: Have no idea why he called it that....

"quoted" from above mentioned...readme...or CUG...whatever that means...

Rolling back SH3 Commander
Rolling back SH3 Commander, or Rollback, are terms given to removing from Silent Hunter III the modifications that SH3 Commander has made. This can be achieved by clicking the icon from within SH3 Commander. This icon will only be visible if there are SH3 Commander modifications present in Silent Hunter III.
Page 3 of 30
SH3 Commander User Guide – Release 3
In order to avoid any potential file integrity problems, it is imperative that you ALWAYS perform a rollback BEFORE:
•
enabling or disabling any mods, either via JSGME or manually;
•
uninstalling or reinstalling Silent Hunter III;
•
uninstalling SH3 Commander.
Your Commander career information and SH3 Commander options are stored in a file called 'SH3Cmdr.ini'. If you want to preserve this data, you must never delete this file. Uninstalling SH3 Commander through Windows’ ‘Add or Remove Programs’ will not delete this file.

Hope that helps :up:

[thehiredgun]

thanks

[JScones]

"quoted" from above mentioned...readme...or CUG...whatever that means...
Yeah, I guess it is an assumption to expect people to understand (or even care) why I'd call the SH3 Commander User Guide something as silly as SH3CUG. ;) :rotfl:

@thehiredgun, you can install SH3Cmdr R3.0 at any time or stage of your career. Just ensure that you've pressed the "Rollback SH3" button in your existing version first, before uninstalling it. And if you've tweaked/personalised any of the SH3Cmdr\Cfg files, don't forget to back them up too.

Hi, just a quick question: When you play the Black Sea campaign I noticed you can start with type VII and IX subs. I thought they only used type II there. :-?

If you use SH3commander and tick historic uboat availability you will only get a IID

Unfortunately the way the SH3 files work you can choose all uboats available to that flotilla unless the SH3commander option is ticked
Even if the others arent available till the flotilla moves to Flensburg

[frenema]

I did tick that option though.

[bigboywooly]

I did tick that option though.

:hmm:

Well in that case as a responsible kaleun you should only choose the IID
The Black Sea campaign is set up for the IID
Using anything bigger is certainly doable ( isnt it Steed :shifty: ) but wouldnt be the same

Still tis up to the player :up:

Did you add the GWX cfg for SH3commander in too ?

Might I recommend you update the manual to remove the noted skin pack reference? I went nuts looking for this, since I know my 8800 GTS is up for anyting SH3 can throw at it, so I'm running all the High texture mods I can find. Unless of course I hear/read they are in GWX 2.0 already :D

[JScones]

Did you add the GWX cfg for SH3commander in too ?
I bet "no", as not adding the GWX cfg files as instructed will cause the exact problem frenema is experiencing if the option is selected.

[asanovic7]

I'm to report a possible bug, not really shure is it or not, or it's just connected with my computer or my installation. Anyways, I loaded new campaign 1943. in la Spezia. I started following the patrol boat. I turned the gramophone on, and as I was showing everything to my nephew, I tried to show where on the map of the world we are. Accidentally zoomed in and out in(all the way) navigation map 1, 2 times with songs playing on gramophone and then, CTD. Tried several times, with mods, without("raw" gwx 2.0), every time CTD. Ofcourse, I used the same procedure with gramophone on, didn't try without. Anyways, not so annoying, I just avoid using map so radically, especially with gramophone on. :p Maybe it's connected to gramophone music. Didnt try later in the patrol, just on the start.
Cheers!
p.s. Don't kick me if that's not a bug :roll:

[Jimbuna]

As far as the gramaphone is concerned, have you added any tracks ?

If so, are they all in ogg.vorbis format ?

[NiKuTa]

I don't know what is wrong but after sunk some ships, or after battle like was today i can't accelerate my time because my comp just stop, after when i set 16x time. To accelerate more time i have click click "+" and the compression of time is really slow. I have to save the game and exit to window, and set particle rendering to 32x . After that game are still slow below or with 32X time, but when the game is above 32X game start normal accelerate and all go smooth. I have this always when i install GWX2.0. Maybe there is something wrong with this particle rendering because i fill that game still rendering particle even you are far away from this smoke, sunked ship.
And i see strange thing when you sunk a ship on shallow water, the wreck jump. It's look stupid. Almost all wrecks jump but on deep water you don't see it.

[Jimbuna]

That could be down to graphucs card or RAM. What are you using.

Ships will not disappear if sunk in quite shallow waters. Especially the large ones.

[NiKuTa]

My computer is old AMD 1,8 GHz 768 ram, radeon 9800 pro 256/256, but i newer have this problem until i install GWX 2.0. I use a NYGM, GWX1.4 and some other mods but without this problem.

[Penelope_Grey]

Particle rendering at 32 is too high for your machine and is causing the problem, reduce it to 16 TC or less and try again.:up:

[Jimbuna]

Your machine specs are fine, they should and will run GWX fine.

But as already pointed out (if I now understand your original post correctly), you will face these problems if you are attempting to render at x32 whilst using external views.

[FIREWALL]

I'm haveing CDT everytime I use < > after WO says ship spotted or ship shows up on map and I do < > to see what ship it is.

Any clue whats up ?

[Penelope_Grey]

Hi Penny & Jim :)

Straight GWX2 and SHC30 patched with cfg.

Only mods installed GWX lite traffic,integrated orders,officer icons and enhanced damage.

This was installed on a reformated rig and flew IL2-1946 without any problems.

Installed SH-3 and patched 1.4b us Ran game once to install Keycode

D\L from jims filefront and checked files with Jonesoft MDS MATE

Ticked GWX exe. and installed. Ran once to create career.

Then installed SHC30 and GWX2 cfg 4 SHC.- minus ship names cfg.

I am at a loss why this is happening. Hope you all can help as I can only play SH-3 with GWX2 :D

cont. from above post.

And I swapped out and tried both vid cards with proper drivers. and still no good.

I have this problem with all time compression, but when i set 1x i oki, with 2x-4x is almost oki, but when i set 8x,16x,32, and more game work worst. The higher value make worst result. Game work like : stop and go :/, for a while game stop, after that game move, and again game stop, and after that move. But as i say on higher value of time compression the stop moment take longer.
My last patrol i use a external view(but disable "<>" keys) because i install OLC Environment i want watch for a while ;). But now i start a new patrol without external View.

Sry for ma English :/

[danlisa]

....because i install OLC Environment....

That's why you are having trouble with TC. OLC himself states that his Env mod will pull low end systems to it's knees.;) Disable this mod and try again.

If that's not the cause (it should be) it maybe an old Stock Bug where destroyed ships are not completely unloaded by the game engine and are stil being rendered but out of sight below the sea floor. This usually only occurs in shallow water. Exiting/ending your current patrol and starting a new one wil fix it.

No i have this problem before OLC Environment was instaled. And i modyfied OLC Env. and now OLC Env work fine.

[danlisa]

Then option 2 is the cause.

Also, try setting the TC settings back to default.:hmm:

I'm sorry mate, but this has got me completely stumped :nope:

It could be graphics drivers related. You could try installing most recent versions and if that doesn't work, go back to an earlier version.

Normally I would say a corrupt file on installation, therefore do a complete reinstall, but if the game runs fine up to a certain time/event after having loaded successfully, it can't/shouldn't be that.

What is certain (for what it's worth).....you have a definite conflict somewhere. :yep:

[FIREWALL]

Good Morning everyone :sunny:

You got that right Jim I definetly have a conflict somewhere. :D

Iv'e tried every combo to the point of reformat, no anti virus, no nothing running in back ground and still ctd.

I leave port Lorient yet, and am on the bridge looking at everything, sometimes with binocs. I even use < > keys to look a specific ships in dock. No problem.

I follow a N.W. course at where i'm just E. of deep water get to the BF grid area as from past experience I'm likely to stumble on a merchant or two on my way to AL32.

As soon as WO say's ship spotted or I see a ship icon on map and hit > key, for an instant I might get to see merchant then CTD.

If it wasn't for the fact that i can play IL2 1946 , MS FSX ,rFactor raceing and other raceing games without a problem. I say Hardware problem.

If it's any consolation it doe's the exact same thing in SH4 TMO & RSRD.

But first things first :D before I'm off to talk to Ducimus & co.

CPU fan is new and large connected to copper heat thats new. 25c.
All 4 ram sticks and are matching have copper heatsinks.

Case and all componants are spotlessly clean since upgrades includeing 750 watt ps.

As far as vid cards it doe's it on both.

My recent new sig gives brand and specs.

I use a checklist when removeing and reinstalling game and mod so as to not miss any steps. and am familar with regedit and windows prefetch files to get everything out before reinstall. And the same for reinstall.

Also I have see the guys on SH4 move but today I had one just a shaking on SH3 GWX 2.0 after I got depth charged by a black swan It took out the entire rack of depth charges after the black swan depth charged me leaving a man holding on to a rope where the depth charges were & looking like he was just a shaking. Maybe scared?

I shouldn't be too concerned about repeated patrol grids, especially in 2.1 (those assigned are down to the game engine anyway)

Renown will no longer be awarded for reaching said patrol grid, and I would advise people to use SH3 Commander and pick the patrol grid they fancy. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

Have you tried zooming in and out several times quickly? As far as I'm concerned, maybe my computer freezes when it comes to zooming in sh3 nav map while playing the music, as using the nav map is not children's play and that's all there is to it. :doh:
Cheers!

I used to have fatal CTDs when zooming in and out on the nav map screen.
I believe it was because I was trying to nav out of harbour as soon as possible, while my system was also trying to render everything in the harbour. I solved the problem short term by waiting until the Watch Officer finished reporting all the ships in harbour before accessing the nav map. Long term solution was upgrading RAM.

Had a strange bug, or glitch today. I had fired two eels at a Large Frieghter and was just about 100m or so from the eels striking the target. Suddenly the merchant blinks two or three times, as in in and out of existance, then just dissappears. There was no way the torps could have missed unless they where duds. I was watching the whole time, the ship simply was there one minute and gone the next. The next contact I got was an Armed Trawler comming from that direction. Funny he didnt dissappear:nope:

Just wondering if this is a stock bug or some other strange occurance?

Awesome mod BTW, its like someone finally cared about the money I've been pumping into this franchise and finally delivered ABOVE my expectations!

Could be it reached it's waypoint.
I have seen ships reach a waypoint and vanish because they were
scripted to Delete on last waypoint.

the Bugger comeing at you?
Not scripted to vanish!
