You have to add them once by once ! Sorry !

Installing :
Copy the extracted Folder to your Modfolder of your GWX1.03 installation and activate the Mod with JSMG.

For using this pack in other Mods you have to create your own names.cfg !

I hope you enjoy this pack.

Thank you !:up:

I have a question :
- some of these ships already have in SH3 - may I still use it as Mod via JSMG ?
- or add missing ships manually ?

Thanks in advance !

[DarklyX]

They are outstanding!

Thank You!

[Klaus_Doldinger]

Fantastic.

Ten more reasons to keep on the war against the Allies...:yep: :up:

[Dutchie-one]

Hello MadMax how do you get these screenshots ? I have try it several times push controle F 11 or printscreen all I get is a black screen
maybe you can get my the solution ?

Thanks Dutchie-0ne :damn:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Cool!!! :up: :up: :up: (Downloads to personal mod stash.:D )

Thanks Madmax!

[Rubini]

Very good work Madmax! Thanks!:up:

Now a question: how is the damage model for these ships? Will they sink like the others in GWX (speaking about time and the way to sink)?:hmm:

[denis_469]

Thanks, Madmax!:yep:

[Steel_Tomb]

Hmmm will the recognition manual be updated to match the new models? Nice work by the way!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Very good work Madmax! Thanks!:up:

Now a question: how is the damage model for these ships? Will they sink like the others in GWX (speaking about time and the way to sink)?:hmm:

I know I'm not Madmax... but I think that I can answer your question at least partly...

They will very likely not have the sinking characteristics as the ships in GWX... though they will be subject to the global settings in the Zones.Cfg file.

So in some ways no... and in other ways yes. I think the overall effect will be alright though.

Hi Dutchie,

i use a program, called "Fraps".
Its fantastic, you can also make very nice Ingamevideos !

Have a nice day

AOTD|MadMax

[Dutchie-one]

Hello MadMax, you load Frapes first and the make screenshot pushing ctrl F11 or printscreen ?
When I am in SH3/GWX and wont make e screenshot I get a black one in my SH3 dir. When I want to look at them with Saint Paint or a other program it is all black.
I wonder if you have to change something before you can make a screenshot ?

Thank and a nice day to you too. Dutchie-one :lost: :lost: :lurk: :lurk:

Hi Dutchie,

when you start Fraps you can chose in the settings of Fraps which key you want to use for Screens.

I Chose the 0 ( zero ) cause zero is free in german SH3.
Then you have the choice of the destination-folder for the screens and also you can chose the filetype of the screens ( BMP or JPG ).
Fraps also can show you the Framerate you got ingame.

I've dowloaded and installed the GWX Skin Pack by Ichneumon, Boris and Fubar into SH3 Commander which loads every time game is initiated by SH3 Commander.

How will these new ships be affected by the Skin Pack? Or will the Skin Pack be affected? Or, does it not matter?

Might these new SH4 merchant ships find there way into the new GWX 1.04 update?

Will the Combined Skin Pack need to be updated with the release of the new 1.04?

Please explain what exactly this Combined Skin Pack does. Thanks.

[melnibonian]

Might these new SH4 merchant ships find there way into the new GWX 1.04 update?
I doubt it. If I remember correctly the GWX moto is that there should be no mixing between SH4 and SH3

Will the Combined Skin Pack need to be updated with the release of the new 1.04?
Of course. With new skins for the new ships ;)

Please explain what exactly this Combined Skin Pack does. Thanks.
It adds new skins to the ships in the game. These skins do appear at the correct time period. That's why you need to enable it via SH3Cmdr.

[Jmack]

Omg !!!! Its Amazing !!!!

[Dutchie-one]

Hello MadMax I buy Fraps and it works great thanks

I installed the new ships as the instructions above. I see all the ships in the mod in the museum.

However, the colors of some of the ships are different then in the screenshots at the beginning of the thread. For example, the cataplut ship is not shown in the museum in camo. Instead, it has slightly weathered grey paint.

Is this how the ships should look?

I dont know why the Catapultship is shown without camo in the Museum cause the Camo.tga was the first numbered skin for this ship. :damn:
In a Mission you would see the camo-version !

Just noticed a couple of things,its Nov 20th 1939 so I don't suppose my catapult ship should have camo just yet but I have seen it twice(and sunk it;))and each time it hasn't had any plane on deck?I installed the pack via JSGME,any ideas anyone?:hmm:thanks in advance.

[Hadrys]

Great work, they look awsome, so many details and all those line must look beauty through the scope but where to download?

Do I understand correctly that these ships are new and don't replace existing?

Yes they are imported from SH4,and they do look fantastic.:up:

[Boris]

It seems MadMax was sprung by the original converters of the ships for releasing them in a compilation without permission and proper crediting... :shifty:

[nikbear]

Is he in trouble then?:-?

[STEED]

The Third Happy Times Last Night. :rock:

[Boris]

Is he in trouble then?:-?

Well, in enough trouble to have to pull his mod

[AOTD_MadMax]

Hello Kaleuns,

yes i got a problem with the original converters of these ships.

I have read the readme´s from all ships and then i decided to make these pack.
Following path are in the original readme !

Bitte Beachten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Der Mod ist ausschließlich für den NICHT kommerziellen Gebrauch erstellt. Jegliche kommerzielle Verwendung ist somit verboten.

- Die Benutzung des Mods in Freeware Silent Hunter 3 Modifikationen ist erlaubt, wenn entsprechende Credits gegeben werden.

It means that you can use this Unit in every freeware silent hunter 3 modification by givin credits but it is forbidden to use this unit in any comercial Mod.
The Releasethread shows you that every ship has the credit and the readme says this too.

Now they got the opinnion that i have to ask them for permission.
My opinnion :
Why should i ask them when the permission is spoken out in the readme ?? :damn:

If you wanne have these ships you have to download them from the Pages of the Converters and you have to add them one by one in to your game.
Dont forget to edit the english_names.cfg / german_names.cfg in you Data/Sea-Folder.

Sorry for that !

[CapZap1970]

If I understood this correctly, now these ships have to be added 1 by 1 after dl them from the author's links... ok, so far, no prob.
If I want to add these ships to the EnglishNames,cfg and GermanNames.cfg one by one, could anybody please tell me what names should I write there for each ship, assuming I want to add the 10 ships shown in the first post? Or is there any other place where I can find this info?
Thanks a lot for the info! :up:
CapZap

[TarJak]

As long as the codes e.g;"NKSL" that go along with the names match the filenames of the objects it doesn't matter what name you give them as the files EnglishNames,cfg and GermanNames.cfg are where they are defined for the game. Whatever you put in is what will display in the ship identification displays.

That was just an example.
The ship folder usually comes with or has a small (1or2kb) text document. Open that with notepad and you'll see one line of text. Copy and paste into EnglishNames cfg :up:

Very good work Madmax! Thanks!:up:

I know I'm not Madmax... but I think that I can answer your question at least partly...

They will very likely not have the sinking characteristics as the ships in GWX... though they will be subject to the global settings in the Zones.Cfg file.

So in some ways no... and in other ways yes. I think the overall effect will be alright though.

Yesterday I torpedoed one of them, the old freighter. Although my two torpedos were a little fast and hit her in the very bow (in a manner that the bow should have dissapeared), the second one generated a devastating explosion, the ship broke in two perfect halves and went to the bottom in a matter of seconds, in the stock SHIII style.

[madmike81]

so this mod isnt jsgm capable?

[Jimbuna]

You can install them via JSGME but you still have to manually insert the text into the EnglishNames cfg

[Ruzbasan]

Jimbuna,

I installed the original mod thru JSGME on the first day it was available (before the controversy).

Do I still have to add the ship's names to the englishnamesconfig if I installed the original mod?

[Jimbuna]

Yes :yep:

[madmike81]

so now that there is a controversy this isnt available anymore? Im a modding nublet btw...hence the obvious questions i always ask...hehe

[Ruzbasan]

Jimbuna,

Thanks for the quick response.

I checked the englishnames cfg and all the new ships from the mod are already listed there. The original mod file must do it automatically when installed thru JGSME.

I guess I got lucky.

[Jimbuna]

If you have gone to :
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SH3 or GWXv103\data\Sea EnglishNames cfg and they are already in then you should be good to go :arrgh!:

[rascal101]

No probs with downlading and adding from the original sites or wherever, could some one just list the right sites to go to?
