Now the most asked question of all times, the one that everybody is tired of asking..

Is this compatible with gwx 2.0? Or is this a super-mod just like gwx?

Its all in german, I'm not sure what the mod does exactly...

And the files are all .s1 .s2 .s3, what do I use to decompress the... nevermind, just got it, the .bat file...

03-02-08, 02:28 PM

No its not compatable with GWX 2 or any other supermod
Tis a stand alone mod in its own right

Its a supermod, but the question is...is it better than GWX?! :hmm:

A few first impressions... I don't like the sinking behavior at all. I started the torpedo training mission and torped one of the trampers. It looked like it went up in the middle, strangely floating somehow with its nose in the water and the stern out but the middle way to far up... the graphics are.. well.. not very great except for the loading screens. I haven't had a chance to check AI sensors yet, but the sinking behavior alone is disturbing enough to not make me use this unforntunately. And the thought of thousands of radio messages is a little intimidating too. I used to be impressed by the radio file of their 1.0 version but very soon realized that I couldn't care less about "fill messages" and they were just going on my nerves interrupting my TC.

I don't know.. more than a normal mod, but not super enough for a real supermod imo.

Although right now I personally don't really know which one to use anyway.. I hate the uber AI sensors of GMX (attacked by a destroyer from 12km away.. common...), hate the torpedo eating ships of NYGM, and this.. well.. not perfect either...

Better, worse? I'm sorry, but I see red, whenever this pops up :damn:

Put it this way: all supermods are different and have their rights on their own, and everybody can try them all out and choose whether to use only one, some or all of them.

Exactly that was the joke...lol

btw: can somebody tell me how to install sh3 a second time (so i have gws-sh3 and a stock sh3...because my installer only says uninstall...because he knows sh3 is already installed...)

03-02-08, 03:54 PM

Great news, nautilus42:up: Congrats' for a long-awaited mod. Could you also make a readme in English with what's new in your supermod?

Sorry, it´s not my MOD, it is from the LSH_Team, but there some Mods interated, made by me!

Philipp_Thomsen

03-02-08, 05:14 PM

As usual, I'll cut this mod apart in pieces and see it inch by inch and take whatever I like of it to increment on the other tons of mods I'm using.

But we have to apreciate the hard work of the fellows who've done this mod, looks like a lot of hard work.

I belive that nothing is perfect, but the junction of dozens of hard worked mods can achive near perfection, if put together!

What is this super mod like?;) What is it about?:smug:

When I install it is it JSGME or do I have to make a SH3 directory copy to install. I will need MultiSH3 and will with work with SH3Commander?:hmm:

Sorry to ask soo much question, I just don't want to bugger up my other mods.:D

Thanks for your time.

Philipp_Thomsen

03-02-08, 05:34 PM

Im not getting was wrong... If I run Start_LSH3_Zusammenbau.bat, it execute only the Teil_1_LSH3_MOD.s01 and then it stops, creating a .7z file. This file has 166mb and cant be uncompressed via 7-zip, as it's incomplete.

All the other .s files are together, with the same name... .s02, .s03 and so on...

bigboywooly

03-02-08, 06:52 PM

Odd
I had the bat and 4 so files in one folder and gave me a 7zip folder of 650 MB (682,248,670 bytes)

@ Wolfehunter
I made another SH3 install patched to 1.4
Added LSH3 through JSGME as is designed too
Yes is compatable with SH3commander ( inc 2.8 so I believe - when released )

03-02-08, 07:31 PM

It seems to be interesting, but the problem is that for every supermod you need a clean installation of SH3 with the patch as I have understood.or the multiSH3 .

Im downlod it, but even i will not install it until I get bored with the gwx :smug:

03-02-08, 07:58 PM

are there any screen shots of this mod or anywhere I can read what it contains in english? Anything in english about it would help.

03-03-08, 02:45 AM

...and will with work with SH3Commander?:hmm:
:yep:

Just can't use SH3Cmdr to start an August 1939 career...yet...this will be rectified with the next SH3Cmdr release.

And what does this mod do??

Hi Kaleus,

as Nautlius42 has posted above, the new version 3.0 of "LivingSilentHunter3 - LSH3" is "out now". LSH3 is a so called "super-mod", created by "AASelle" and first released in July 2005. This new version is a completely new build-up of LSH3.

At the moment, this mod will only support the German language version. We are still working on a translation of the „de_menu.txt“ and „messages_de.txt“ files. The content of these files is necessary for the player, without this content he would not know where to sail to and what to do next (the „messages_de.txt“ contains orders from the BDU to the player). For example: if you start your career in August 1939 in Stralsund, you must follow the orders from your flotilla to sail back to Stralsund immediately after sinking the target ships, transfer to the 2. flotilla and depart for your first wartime patrol on August,24./25./26 in 1939 to reach your patrol grid BEFORE the outbreak of the hostilities.

So if you are not able to understand the radio messages in German (that means playing SH3 in „German language“ modus), it makes no sense to install LSH3 at this moment. You better wait until the English language version is supported by LSH3. That will take some time: we have some 4,500 radio messages of which some 25% are absolutely necessary for „guiding“ the player.

A translated Version from Marinesims News (http://www.marinesims.de/site/living-sh-iii/lsh3-5.html):

After a long time the team of LSH3 completed version 3.0 and now it´s available for downloading.
But what is special about LSH3?

The name is program... LSH3 brings more life to the game. While in the original SH3 game radio traffic is more or less just trimmings, it is now a key feature for the success of your crew and your sub. Also, you won´t get your new sub delivered to your harbour, but you will have to get in from the Erprobungsstelle in Kiel and sail it to your future home port. Aditionally there will be graphical improvements, optimisation of the AI and several new ships.

Your harbour will no longer be the harbour of peace and safety because the war is around you and you will experience the feeling of a bombing raid while leaving the harbour. But be easy in your mind, the AAA of the harbour and the warships will try their best to shoot down the planes. An enchanting spectacle, especially at night. But that´s not all.
Does the name "Weserübung" ring a bell? Then you should pay attention to the radio traffic, otherwise you will miss one of the most sensational naval operations of WW2.

If you would like to know more about LSH3, inform yourself directly at the team of LSH3 in the forum or download LSH3 at a mirror of your choice and study the manual which contains all informations you need.

Congratulations to you all!

I know pretty much what you all went through to get to this point.
It's no easy task.

I look forwards to a few hours of checking it out.
:D

Then Kpt. will set Penny upon me and force me back to the
labor camp.
:nope:
:rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

YOU TRAITOR!!!

Let him see you playing LSH3 and he'll whipe your @ss! :rotfl:

I saw the mod but its just... just... I... dont know... just.. seems... Its not gwx! :rotfl:

The "sea" folder has over one GB... is there more ships in LSH3 then in GWX? If so, can this ships be imported? Or it would require a whole workaround in the campaign.rnd?

One thing I liked about this mod is the new manner of sinking ships... they will get the fore almost underwater and the stern will show out of water, just like titanic. I've never saw this in gwx or stock sh3. And its not unreal, it only depends on where the flooding is located.

For a stand-alone supermod, the "sound" folder is very weak. Not much new sounds, very very few, and nothing different about them. The sound is one of the most important things for imersion on a submarine simulator.

This supermod is a very beautiful and hot girl with no arms and legs. Would you do her?

As for it not being GWX?
Heck!
That's what is so cool about it!
It's thier Mod 'point of view' so to say.
That's why I look forward to checking it out.

SHH!!

Was that Kpt?

Hi Steiner88,

it is not as easy as in stock-sh3. I've changed the nanes of ALL tga's in the sub-DAT files, so we can use different skins for all types an subtypes of U-boats.

If you want to change the skins, please read appendix E in the hanbook. Look at the nameconvention mentioned there. And then re-name the tga's of your prefered skin-mod.

Once more briefly what to LSH. Many maybe imagine with LSH around another GWX acts. However, this is not in such a way. The core of LSH is the radio traffic. In the floor version SH3 the radio traffic serve only the secondary entertainment, deal nothing with the real submarine war. In LSH you are led by the BDU by the war, you get direct orders and if you follow this, action empires campaign are protected you. To the fact comes that war is much more active. Harbours are attacked by allied bombers and also your contact announcement work on this negotiate to the air force. The likelyhood on aerial support has risen in LSH.

Do you a 2-nd installation of SH3 and simply tests it. Even if it will be difficult into German the news to read, you will like it maybe, nevertheless. The team wants LSH to translate in the English one, however, it are still absent some assistants who can translate the German texts into the English one. its

This looks like a great idea, but if I don't understand German, how should I know what BdU wants from me?:-? At least maybe you could try to translate the essential orders to the player, in a first stage, and leave chatter translation for a second stage.

Hi,

LSH3 team has released an update to version 3.1. First i must say, the english translation of the "messages.txt" is still "under construction". Just see some screenshots of some new items:

Brunsbuettel Lock (by Nautilus aka Trainer1942)

http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/r/rowi02/125431/etiybnxcqu.jpg

A new unit, Arado AR 196 as a "swimming" plane in the harbor (and of course flying in the campaign as a "normal" plane):

http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/r/rowi02/125431/ecgslpwstw.jpg

And - for example - a new unit, the small netlayer:

http://static3.filefront.com/images/personal/r/rowi02/125431/wtusvinrez.jpg

Some other stuuf:
- Mikhayls new AI S-Boat
- VonDos "Aquitania"
- "HogIsland Frieghter" and "WarMelody Freighter" from Nautilus
- reflections for all flags
- and elimiation of the "CfgDate bug" in RND and SCR files.

Hi All!

Question (maybe a stupid one ... but I am a newby .. and you always forgive a newby) :)

I have SH3 (2 months old, installed with the latest 1.4 patch on DVD), bought at amazon.com. I installed GWX 3.0 without any problems.

My question is:

Can you combine the GWX 3.0 and the new LSH3 v4 together?

Furthermore, I have seen (don't remember the German website URL anymore), a video of SH3 where "YOU" the Kaleun is walking near de docks and see that a crew-member is painting a U-Boat?

I would like to know if GWX 3.0 and LSH3 will work together and if someone knows about "walking" around your own base?

Thanks! :salute:

Hi Rafael,

You can create separate SH3 installations on your hard-drive. One each for LSH3 and GWX.

Combining the two would simply be too much work and would require many different skill-sets.

I understand Kaleun Lehmann. Jawohl! :salute:

Now I have it "normally" installed:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII

I will install the game again this way:
C:\Program Files\Games\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII

I am more an 'Apple Man', I use Boot Camp and Windows XP to play the game. I must say it works perfectly, also the GWX 3.0 add on is fantastic. Great work!

BTW, historically speaking, German U-Boats did NOT have a bell sound when changing speed :yep:. The bell sound "ring-ring" is incorrect, it is in folder Sound >> Speech, but how can I change (replace) it with a correct sound.ogg? :roll:

Just look for the Chief Engineer speech files relating to speed changes... the bell sound is attached to them in GWX.

Apologies to the LSH3 team. We didn't mean to hijack your thread for GWX matters.

Thanks, now I need to find the correct sound files to replace the "ring-ring" files changed by GWX.

In my opinion you don't need to apologize to the LSH3 team. My question was only if I could combine GWX 3.0 and LSH3 together. You gave a correct answer. Two installations. :)
