GWX Spy Sat Mod (original concept by KodiakPM)

Firstly, this mod is NOT supported by the GWX Dev team although permision has been given to release it.

If you're having problems please direct them my way on Subsim (danlisa).

This is a realism killer!

You need GWX & the Dec 23rd Fix.

Be Warned there will be continued updates to the GWX RND layer so this will have to be adapted along the way.

Also with the increased graphics being rendered there maybe a small drop in performance. However I have not noticed this in testing.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This package is JSGME ready.

The usual applies:

Be in Port
Rollback SH3 Commander
Enable Spy Sat Mod

-----------------------------------------------------------

Basic Info:

This mod does not change the Spawn Rate of Convoys in GWX.
This mod changes the Report Probability to 100%
This mod changes the Report Time to 60mins
This mod changes the Contact Report Distance to 99999km

This means that every convoy that is loaded at the start of SH3 will be reported to you every 60mins of gametime.

I have used 60mins so that you will still have to plan your attack.

Enjoy

With all that tracking info the first thing that popped into my head was...

...I see dead people.

Very cool, I may have to give this a try. :D

[BooBooLovesAll]

Hrm.

I tried it.. but my nav map looks nothing like the one you posted above?

Welcome mate:sunny:

The image I posted is from April 1940. If you have GWX + Dec 23rd Fix installed then you will have the same image at the same time. If you are earlier ot later in the war then it will be different.

This mod tracks the random (RND) layer of GWX and as such will report the correct details dependant on the time of your career.

I hope this answers your question. If not ask again.

EDIT - I should say that, as the information is from a RANDOM layer, that the SPAWN rates of convoys may not be the same as you see above. I have not changed these spawn rates, so it is totally random as to which convoys convoys spawn in your game/career.

What is circled is pretty much all that see. I rarely see max 4 or 5 convoys at a time.. nothing close to what you posted in the above picture.

I am in June 1940.. I think.

@ BooBooLovesAll

Make sure that you have the following FILE PATH for your JSGME install.....

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\MODS\GWX Spy Sat\data.......

after this you should have, a Campaigns folder & a CFG folder.

If you only see the items that you have highlighted, check that you have the Dec 23rd Fix installed properly.

It seems to me that the only effect that you are getting is the extended report distance.

FYI - remember that you need to run the game for 60min (gametime) before you see any info.

You've just made the Condor Fw200 redundant :arrgh!:
Good piece of kit mate for those who want plenty of 'guaranteed' action :up:

[tankeriv]

Strange, everything stays normal :S

[danlisa]

Can you explain?

You have GWX + Dec 23rd Fix?

You rolled back SH3Cmdr?

You unpacked the mod and have a file structure that looks like this GWX Spy Sat > Data > etc.......

Copied Spy Sat into your MODS folder and enabled via JSGME.

Started the game via SH3Cmdr (if you use it)

Let the game run for 60min (in game time).

Are there any tweaks that would allow me to 'detect' stray warships/submarines/ships in ports?

Probably.. but I though I'd ask.

SH3Gen with intelligence maxed out will give you quite a bit of info on what is to be found in ports.

Bump...

With the GWX patch out and all...is a new version of this mod needed?
