In the vanilla SH3 i hade a mod for the contact "Shipbook". It showed where the fueltank, engineroom, keel & ammobunks where in color......is there a mod like that for GWX´s thick Book?

It's a terrific mod and will give you back the grey(merchant) and red(warship) sonar lines as well.

If you're a perfectionist, it does omit 5 of the new GWX ships (they're grey only when zoomed in, so not a big deal). But if you want to fix that manually, see this thread:

I´m sorry but it doesn´t work for me....the mapcontacts are still grey.
Is it suposed to be a .7z file?
Am I doing wright if I put the file in a folder i.e " Color Contact" under mods in SHIII? Then start JSGME, moving it from available to Activated?

I´m afraid my other mods (also .7z files) also doesn´t work.
It´s the 23 dec update and a damage mod........

I can see the three files(.7z) under the root map after activated. Is that the way it´s suposed to be?

Help please!

Unpack the 7z files directly into your JSGME Mods folder then activate them.

Edit: deactivate all the mods in JSGME...unpack the Dec23 update directly into the JSGME MODS folder...activate it then do the same with the colour contacts 7z...then activate what addittional mods you want :up:

Is best to extract the 7zip files direct into the MODS folder
Otherwise you can end up with an extra folder
The directory in the MODS folder for any mod to work properly should be
Name of mod\data

If you use the extract to *** option you get an extra folder
Name of mod\Name of mod\data

JSGME cant install that properly even though it says it has
The files will be found dotted around your SilentHunterIII directory
