NYGM just a little help please.

[meylan]

Hi there , I've had silent hunter 3 for the last week now .I've spent more time trying out and comparing the different supermods than actually using the sim .
GWX is a bit much to handle for my low end pc so I have now got NYGM 2.2 installed through the generic mod enabler .I have a few questions if I may.

1 Like I said I installed NYGM 2.2 through the mod enabler . The optional mods that come with 2.2 are actually in the silent hunter > mods>NYGM tonage war2.2>documentation.Can some one please confirm that these optional mods are not installed been where they are . (I don't wish to install them ,I'm just making sure the are not installed.)

2 Is it just me or is the 2.4 download corrupted.

Thanks .

Moin meylan,

welcome aboard kaleun.

I confirm they will not be installed before you copy them to ...SilentHunter\MODS\... and enable them via JSGME
NYGM2.4 works fine with me
Regards,
DD

Thanks

poor sailor (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=225347) had a working 2.4 on his filefront (yeah, it's filefront tho) page before but it seems it's removed..? DTB's "official" file seems to be corrupted at the moment (not sure but my winrar reports it's corrupted).

If you're using FireFox, "download" link with the large image may not work (at least in my case). You can use IE or go to uploader's page and click on "Download now" link in text in the file list.

I already combined 2.4 files into 2.2 and 2.3 making a huge package and can't extract 2.4 files from it..sorry can't help.

Try this http://files.filefront.com/NYGM2_47z/;6623774;/fileinfo.html on FileFront but I just tried and worked!

Hi, I'm afraid the file is still corrupt, win rar and 7zip report corrupted files when extracting .
I'll keep saerching and post back here if I find an uncorrupted patch.
Thanks

I had the same thing many things. It may be FileFront itself. I downloaded the file DTB's filefront ac**** about 6 times and all files were corrupted according to winrar. Then I found poorsailer's file (kindly, thanks! ;) ) but first time I downloaded it, it was corrupted (winrar said so). Second time, a week or so later, it had no problem. I don't really think either file on DTB's account or poorsailer's account is corrupted upon upload. It may well be a problem of FileFront. Only I can suggest is try to download other time again and pray... or hope someone who has a file can host it somewhere... good luck!

Thanks for that jimmie , I'm going to leave that install where it is at the moment at 2.2.
I've installed sh3 as a second install and I'm going to try GWX again but I'm not even sure if that's what I want yet never mind getting it to run on my pc.

Maybe some one can help . I like the stock interface of the sim , what I want is a realistic campaign /realistic AI / dynamic weather / maybe a few extra sounds /realistic sub behaviour in weather .

May be I'll have to add individual mods rather than a supermod but if someone could recommend some that would great .

I would like to get the sim right before I start my first proper career.
Would anyone recommend RUB


Thanks

To me, 2.4 update is not that must-have (don't know for others), so I could live without it.

Personally, there are things I don't like in GWX and in NYGM either and I'm just using NYGM + several my own receips because it's just closer to my taste. And NYGM is already very slow to load (stock SH3 is already slow!) and I can't be patient to what's slower...

Rub is the base of those super mods, but if you use Rub, you will probably miss ship damage model of NYGM's and others that are inspired by it. In my opinion, that is the key feature of post-Rub mods. AI was/is never perfect in any mods in my opinion. NYGM's AI (after v2.2) may be a bit inhuman noise sensors in my opinion.. Weather is not changed in NYGM (I guess) but may not be GWX (not sure). Sound is where I did not like GWX, but NYGM doesn't have special sound either. I'm getting kind of tired of "Das boot" dive sequence sound etc which is used in every major mod, because it does not match other game sounds. Realistic sub behavior is the field no one got right much. Uboat can ac/decelarates really rapidly. We can't hover anymore in NYGM or GWX but at least in NYGM it introduces some side effect...etc.
But we've got other really immersive mods like open hatch and longer wake etc lately, the game is getting better yet :sunny:
