HELP Grey Wolf Mod 1.1 HELP!!!

[twotone]

I went to here http://www.subsim.com/subsim_files/patches2005.html downloaded the Grey Wolves SuperMod v1.1 (http://www.subsim.com/~subsim_mods/downloads_greywolves.php) (5 files and an exe file) Numerous improvements and fixes. i then uninstalled my full game of SH III, and re-booted my system and re-installed SH III and the Patch to silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_us i then installed the Grey Wolves SuperMod v1.1 (http://www.subsim.com/~subsim_mods/downloads_greywolves.php) and tryed to play. The game runs good but when i go into any mission no mater if its a Career or single mission i have 2 big problems.

1) NO Deck gun ammo - the Flak 88 and or the larger gun never have any ammo load out. The smaller AA guns do however have full ammo.

2) In un-moded ver. when you go to free camera mode and you hover out of the water above yoru sub and yoru sub is submerged, you could see an orange circle with a direction arrow pointing in the direction of your heading on on top of the water. but after you MOD it is gone. I really really reaally need this.


file names on files:
silent_hunter_3_dvd_1.4b_us


(((Note i have done the un-install and reinstall 3 times same problems)))

Hi and welcome to Subsim

The orange marker is in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Misc and is called Umark
You can copy it across from the stock version and add into the directory above

How do you mean no deckgun ammo ?
Did you click on a shell to load it ?

[Abd_von_Mumit]

I can't believe bigboywooly didn't mention that, but why don't try try rather Grey Wolves Expansion instead of 1.1 version? GWX is a newer version and is widely believed to be better. See bigboywooly's sig for download.

[twotone]

you cannot it reads 0 ammo where as it should read around AP 35 HE 106 and so on...

and yes itryed that ... Its really pissing me off.

where can i get GWX ? Subsim has som nice ones but not all of them have good instructions on where files go ...

[ReallyDedPoet]

Fairly easy install. 6 files with an executable. See below.

I got those files.... i downloaded from there 2 days ago there the ones giving me problems I however did not do the Dec patch
I have the file: GWX_-_Dec_23rd_Corrections.7z and the GWX.exe.7z but there is no exicuatable for these, what do i do with the patch file?

Also none of this explaines why I have no ammo in my deck gun .....


would any of these problems be because the game does not automatically delete the my doc's folder when you do an uninstall? I just found this folder in my doc's and it didnt get removed...

desperate cpt needs deck ammo....

and before this gets asked running a DELL XPS 400
Nvida 6800 graphic card
2 GIG RAM
and dual D processors

Hi twotone! Welcome to subsim, mate!! :up:

[bigboywooly]

Ok
The 7zip files need to be extracted
Get 7zip here - http://www.7-zip.org/

Place all the bin files and the exe in one folder and run the exe
The Dec 23rd patch needs to be unzipped to C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\MODS - the MODS folder will be added during install

But lets sort the first problem
Hmmm no deck guns shells

Go to C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg

Open Basic.cfg in notepad

Search for [AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/32

It should say

[AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/32
Idx=0
Year=1939
Month=1
AP=40
HE=60
SS=20

Just under that is the 88mm

Check those entries against yours

[twotone]

right now ive only installed the basic game and the 1.4 patch so im guessing you want me to install teh GW mod and its patch and then check those file configs for the ammo?

What are you going to install ?
If you are going to install GWX then carry on and dont bother adding GW1.1

Before you add GWX dont forget to save the Umark.tga
Look in my first reply for the path
You can then add it to your GWX install

[twotone]

GWX_-_Dec_23rd_Corrections.7z this is NOT a .zip fil its extention is .7z

Yep
Get the 7zip program here
http://www.7-zip.org/ - as I posted above
unzip\extract using that - into the MODS file

No doubt will still be around
Maybe a lickle drunk by then
:rotfl:

[twotone]

and the ammo numbers are all ther

going in and testing now brb

[bigboywooly]

The GWX one wont say that

The GWX one will say

[AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/32
Idx=0
Year=1939
Month=1
;AP=40
;HE=60
;SS=20
AP=0
HE=110
SS=0

As in GWX you only have HE ammo
Nothing else

I thought your no deckgun ammo was in GW1.1

[twotone]

thank you for all of yoru help i understand it shows 0-0 till youclick on the HE symbol unlike before where it shows the different numbers of ammo available and yea that was going to be my next question how come no AP and Starlight ammo anymore? also the umarkere file is in the GWX pac but youhave to replace it with the origional one to get it to work its goo now.

since i have yrou attention how often do you guys play online and how does that work wo oyu hunt as apack in online???

[bigboywooly]

Check the multiplayer thread for games

This one is updated regulary

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=104578

To play MP ok with no CTD you need the Dec 23rd update installed AND NO OTHER MODS

Most ppl have a dual install
One for MP and one they mod for normal career

If you use the Ubi server there are usually game up pretty often

You do play as a wolfpack
Missions have up to 8 players

Oh there is no AP or SS ammo as Uboats didnt carry it
Only HE

[ReallyDedPoet]

Back. Good to see you progressing with the install stuff:up:
