GWX 2.1 Update Released (yes really)

[Kpt. Lehmann]

At long last.

It is finished.

Today we release the GWX 2.1 update. It is the Grey Wolves Development Team's final organized work for the SH3 platform prior to full scale initialization of work on the GWX project for SH4. (Already well underway.)

However you may view the project or its members, what you see here is the culmination of a 2.5 year journey made by individuals determined to transform a good game... into an OUTSTANDING one.

Yes it is late, but it is here... and it costs you nothing. For the Grey Wolves Dev
Team and crew though, the price was often quite high. only those on the team will
fully understand what I speak of. Indeed, this team has weathered every obstacle thrown in its path, and has travelled many many miles beyond the expected destination.

It has been my honor to share the road with these fine people and to lead as project manager for so long. It is also my honor to say to this fine team... "WELL DONE GREY WOLVES!" You have my undying gratitude and I salute each of you.

Special and sincere thanks to dev team member Privateer for producing the COOLEST interactive installer ever seen at Subsim! Mate, your work absolutely ROCKS!

Due to real life matters preventing proper sequencing of events, we will begin the
release today and will communicate regarding changes in more detail in the days to
come.

Please note: You will need a clean installation of SH3 version 1.4b containing a
properly installed copy of GWX 2.0 BEFORE adding the GWX 2.1 update.

Since we cannot guarantee that previous GWX careers will remain stable, official
installation instructions are as follows:

(Failure to read the directions will cause you to snarl your installation.)

1) Uninstall SH3 USING THE GAME DISK if you have one. (You will need to create a fresh
installation of SH3 to assure stability.)

2) Verify that the "SH3" folder in "My Documents" has been DELETED. If it has not,
delete it manually.

3) Reboot your PC

4) Reinstall SH3 and patch to version 1.4b if your disk does not already contain the
version 1.4b patch.

5) Reboot your PC again

6) Install GWX 2.0 as described here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=363244&postcount=1

Once you have a properly installed copy of SH3 1.4b with GWX 2.0 you are ready for the next simple sequence.

A) Create a new folder on your desktop and label it "GWX 2.1 Update"

B) Download the "GWX21 Update.exe file to the folder you just created on your desktop.

C) Turn your speakers up!

D) Double click the GWX21.exe file and follow the directions that appear.

FOR SH3 Commander users, you must download and apply the following files:

Please note that currently, only SH3 Commander version 3.0 configuation files are supported by the GWX dev team.

Mirrors and torrent will be added to the GWX website soon.

IMPORTANT!!! It is recommended that you burn GWX files to CD's or a DVD for
safe-keeping

I will be revisiting this post the post following it to edit as necessary... as time

***August 1939 career starts engineered by Bigboywooly:

GWX now has the ability to start in August 1939

For those choosing to start in the 1st or 2nd flotillas it is recommended you carry out a 4 day shakedown patrol before returning to base on the 4th
This will give you a next patrol date of the 24th August
Plenty of time to sail to your start point
For those wishing to begin in the 7th flotilla you will start at Konigsberg
Stay in the bay and sink the target ships and 2 ship convoy
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h22/bigboywooly/konigsburg.jpg
Do not take any damage or you will miss the war start
You will become an enemy of ALL nations so " ESC " back to port on receipt of message
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h22/bigboywooly/ScreenHunter_001-3.jpg
Upon ending patrol you can either transfer to the 1st or 2nd flotillas
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h22/bigboywooly/ScreenHunter_002-4.jpg
and your next patrol will begin on the 24th August
Good hunting

[bigboywooly]

Nice to see you Pants
Hope all is well

EDIT to above instructions for 7th Flotilla starts

Set days in base also for 20 days for August starts in either the 1st or 2nd flotillas

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Thanks BBW, was just about to add that to the second post.

[GoldenRivet]

i hate to be "that guy" but according to the install instructions posted above we have to start this install process all over from scratch... does this include those of us who already have GWX2.0 installed on a clean copy of 1.4b? :-?

could it not be possible to roll back SH3 Commander, delete all careers and run the 2.1 exe?

or is that scenario acceptable.

hate to be a pain

[von Kinderei]

I'm wondering the same ... :hmm:

[GoldenRivet]

im thinking this is an ok procedure, im assuming the instructions above are intended for those installing from scratch.

I just want to hear it from the Commanding Officer ! :up:

I mentioned before ALL testing is done on a clean SHIII patched install with GWX 2.0 added
For stability purposes

You can certainly give it a go
IF all mods are JSGME added\removed it SHOULD be ok
No promises though

[Madox58]

Roll back SH3 Commander unless you have the 3.0 version and set it for auto rollback.
Disable ALL JSGME mods.
Then go for it!!

[GoldenRivet]

good enough for me, ill give it a shot. (i can always untangle the mess later if it comes to that)

deleted all careers
removed all JSGME mods
rolled back SH3 Commander

installing now

[Madox58]

Turn your speakers up REAL loud also.

You can certainly do so, BUT at your own risk.

The "official" directions will unfortunately continue to call for a full reinstallation of SH3 1.4b + GWX 2.0 + GWX 2.1 update, for the sake of clarity. Unfortunately, people do all kinds of things to their installations without understanding the implications.

As modders more frequently produce new works "for GWX" instead of stock SH3... we run into many user support issues completely unrelated to the GWX project itself... clean installations become an evil necessity.

On the "up" side, you shouldn't have to do so again based on our instructions concerning the actual GWX project build itself.

[Pants]

Thx BBW matey, been kinda hectic here not had time to do much. Recovering from a heart attack that i had in jan.

WARNING!!!

i just made my first GWX 2.1 mistake.

new rule: NEVER assume neutral convoys are escorted by neutral warships.

Declared war on poland and encountered a convoy... rushed in on the surface to inspect this british convoy for polish merchants and i find a POLISH DESTROYER.

escaped... but just by the skin of my chode! :damn:

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Well... I recomend to you "never assume anything" :lol:

In case you missed it... make sure you apply the new GWX configuration files for SH3 Commander from the first post.

[GoldenRivet]

well this is a campaign im running without the use of SH3 Commander at the moment.

does that matter?

[Murr44]

Thanks for all the hard work on this supermod. I really hate to ask this,:oops: but is there someone who would be willing to burn a dvd copy & send it to me? I have extremely slow dial-up & the download would take at least 24 hours (I just tested this to see how long it would take); during this time I would be unable to use my phone as I only have a single phone line.

Thanks...

[headcase]

You guys rock. Now go and dive headfirst into a few dozen well-earned "adult beverages".

[Kpt. Lehmann]

well this is a campaign im running without the use of SH3 Commander at the moment.

does that matter?

That's absolutely fine.

GWX can be run with or without SH3 Commander. However, IF players use SH3 Commander, installing the GWX configuration files IS necessary to prevent CTD's.;)

I'd just like to take a minute to thanx all you guys on the GWX team for all the hard work and all the long hours you've spent on the GWX Mod project over the years. It is really an amazimg piece of work! You know, while I'm at it . I would also like to give thanx to all the other modders out there too. Ya'll have made SHIII a great experence. I would guess that without the collective effords from everyone, from
the modders to the players who just like to post their tips and their experences in SHIII, to this forum, I might have switched back to being a FALCON 4.0 pilot again !! If ya ever find yourself in Baltimore Md. let me know. The First beer is on me .

After finishing this current patrol, I plan to update to GWX 2.1. I would still like to use a few aditional mods. They consist of :

Water Stream for U-boats Ver.4
GWX Inhanced Dammage
Improved Smoke Ver. 1.1
the Radio Log Expanded Mod
Torpedo Dammage Final Ver. 2.0
Thomsen's Sound Pack 2My question is ... ( drum roll please ) ... does anyone know if these mods are compatable with or are incorperated in GWX 2.1 and not needed? For example. I Believe OLC's Environment Mod Final ( which I use now ) is incorperated into GWX 2.1 ( I think I read that right in the txt file that came with that mod ). Well anyway thats about all I have for now. Again many thanx to all. Happy hunting and don't forget me on the beer !! Jerry

@ K. Mohr... You are welcome sir.

@ Doolar Semler

1. Will need to be updated before it is fully compatible with GWX 2.1. It is extremely important that it includes the changes discussed here that addresses a major problem with SH3: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=134939

2. That is an included GWX optional mod since version 2.0 that is updated/adjusted with the 2.1 update.

3. Not compatible if it includes anything other than .tga files. If it includes ANY code files it is not compatible.

4. Probably not at the moment. Danurve was good enough to assist with additional radio messages, but I'm not sure how many if any were used/included with the GWX 2.1 update. The 2.1 update includes important messages that need to be retained... that mod would overwrite them.

5. Absolutely compatible.

6. If it contains an "Sh3.sdl" file or any other code files, it is not compatible with GWX 2.1.

Concerning additional "unofficial" mods placed on top of GWX, you may of course use them at your own risk. BE WARNED, just because someone says "mod-x" is compatible does not MEAN that it is ACTUALLY compatible.

From the GWX 2.0 release thread 1st post... our statement:

Notice to Grey Wolves Expansion users:
Use of 'unofficial' add-ons for The Grey Wolves Expansion are not supported by the GWX development team and their use is NOT RECOMMENDED for the inexperienced or casual user. The Grey Wolves development team cannot be held responsible for any adverse effects caused by the subsequent modification of any files made by other modders.

We reserve the right to notify GWX users of any additional mod that breaks GWX features as part of the user support we offer, as well as to recommend a course of action to correct matters for the user.

Secondarily, we cannot be expected to fix 'unofficial' mods placed on top of GWX.

Hello boys and girls

First of all I would like to thank the Dev team for outstanding job they've done and for bringing us so much joy and excitement which wears a label of only three letters - GWX! and still doing their work on other project SH4, so I wish the best of luck in pushing the limits :up:

I started using SH3 commander since version 3 came to daylight, and now I have a little question concerning the apply of these files in cfg folder. in that folder I can see "naked" .cfg's only with no folders in it, so I thought maybe it wount work if I unzip everything in it just like that with those three folders in there (cfg, flotilla, u-boat) ? I need just a little confirmation should I just "copy paste" everything into cfg, or should I replace the .dat files where they are.

Since f.e. file ADB_JU87Stuka.dat location in the game is \Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Air\ADB_JU87Stuka
so its not in CFG folder right ?

I'm a bit confussed that's all :-?

[danlisa]

@ Contact

Extract the archive.
The copy the contents and paste them directly into SH3 Commanders Program folder, overwiting when asked.

The folders you need to copy/paste are Cfg, Flotilla & U-Boat. That's it.

[Sirkam]

Finally, the 2.1 has been released. I can surface from the depths to breathe fresh air.
Thanks Dev. Team :yep:.
And, i have two questions. Is it necessary to disable all the mods before installing the new patch?
The 2.1 is compatible with the spanish traduction made by the 24Th Flotilla?

Now my boss will be facing several days where i am less productive at work.

[robbythesub]

As a fully hooked SH3 player (and SH4 sometimes and looking forward to the GWX mod there in due course), I would like to say a huge thanks to all of you involved in producing these mods to this game which have brought it right up to date, and for my money it remains the number 1 naval sim of all time.

The mods have made a superb update and I am looking forwar dto many more hours of sleepless nights.

Thanks again :arrgh!:

@Robbythesub

Welcome aboard and thank you for the kind words

[limkol]

:D Damned good work guys. Congratulations and many thanks. Thanks is not enough, when I think of how much effort you all put into your work, your attention to detail, the time you spend helping people out on the forums and the criticism you sometimes take. Sometimes the only thing to take your mind off your troubles is to cast off and hunt enemy ships. For me it's a therapy as much as a game....... Cheaper than drink and not as messy!

Really wish you all the best.
Look forward to seeing you over at SH4.

[tiger_tim_34]

A HUGE thank you from a long-term fan of GWX. The team's work has bought me many happy hours of immersive escapism from the myriad trials of life. Wishing you the very best for your SH4 GWX project. With luck, you guys will actually persuade me to move to that game.

Rather wistful, in a way, that this is the final instalment for SH3. But judging by your last release this will be some instalment. :up:

[flakmonkey]

Any chance of a full list of changes in this version, i really want to know whether its worth changing from gwx2.0 since the DL will take 40mins+ and i dont want to spend that lond DLing is its only minor stuff.

It's worth your time to d/l this. Amongst it are critical game fixes, as well as other 'goodies'.

Your call though.

Is it necessary disable all the mods before installing the 2.1 patch?

[danlisa]

Is it necessary disable all the mods before installing the 2.1 patch?
From Post 1:

Please note: You will need a clean installation of SH3 version 1.4b containing a
properly installed copy of GWX 2.0 BEFORE adding the GWX 2.1 update.

Since we cannot guarantee that previous GWX careers will remain stable, official
installation instructions are as follows:

(Failure to read the directions will cause you to snarl your installation.)

1) Uninstall SH3 USING THE GAME DISK if you have one. (You will need to create a fresh
installation of SH3 to assure stability.)

2) Verify that the "SH3" folder in "My Documents" has been DELETED. If it has not,
delete it manually.

3) Reboot your PC

4) Reinstall SH3 and patch to version 1.4b if your disk does not already contain the
version 1.4b patch.

5) Reboot your PC again

6) Install GWX 2.0 as described here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...44&postcount=1 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=363244&postcount=1)

Once you have a properly installed copy of SH3 1.4b with GWX 2.0 you are ready for the next simple sequence.

A) Create a new folder on your desktop and label it "GWX 2.1 Update"

B) Download the "GWX21 Update.exe file to the folder you just created on your desktop.

C) Turn your speakers up!

D) Double click the GWX21.exe file and follow the directions that appear.

[Sirkam]

Copy that. I'll unistall SH3 completly just in case...

Hi guys, is anybody willing to upload and post a link to the updated manual here? It's a long day at office for me and I would like to do some reading during lunch. ;) It would take too long to download the whole package.

Sorry guys not come across this before, have been trying to uninstall SH3 all night, been into the PC via Win Explorer, I have XP deleted SH3, been to regedit deleted SH3 from Local Machine, no trace of SH3 in My Docs nor any where else, have defragged, switched off PC etc

Then I try to install I get options to Modify Repair or Remove - Repair doesnt do anything neither does remove, I jst get some error messages

So I cant seem to delete SH3 HELP!!!!

LOL, tis a new one. Most get it on properly, you can get rid.:lol:

Ok , basically there are additional Registry entries left for SH3, even though you removed them from your Local Machine, there are others.

My best (and easiest) advice is to download & run CCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/ It's a free Junk & Registry tool. Run the cleaner & restart, then run the Registry fixer. This should remove all orphan registry entries allowing you to reinstall SH3.

:up:

[rascal101]

Yes its a pain, cant believe I cant uninstall a game!!- Anyy way tried a differentr tack I already have CCCleaner and tried that. Basicall I just did a repair, then successfully patched to 4b, now installing GWX2 then the latest GWX if I get away with it

Many thanks.

i hate to be "that guy" but according to the install instructions posted above we have to start this install process all over from scratch... does this include those of us who already have GWX2.0 installed on a clean copy of 1.4b? :-?

could it not be possible to roll back SH3 Commander, delete all careers and run the 2.1 exe?

or is that scenario acceptable.

hate to be a pain

Many thanks to the GWX team for their superb mod and support:up: . Rather than do a clean install I might risk the method GoldenRivet suggests as I have not installed any other mods not even those that come with GWX 2.0. My query though is do I still need to delete the SH3 folder in My Documents or can I leave it alone and install GWX 2.1? Presumably if I do delete it when I run SH3 after installing GWX 2.1 it will create a new one?

Nemo

[mkubani]

Manuaaaaaaaaaal, please. Could someone upload pls?

[jas39]

please be patient! he already said that the manual will be posted separately on gwx.mysite.orange.co.uk soon.......

[mkubani]

It's part of the 160MB download already, no? That's how I underdstood it. I was just asking someone who has already downloaded GWX 2.1 to reupload the manual only, so those who are stuck in offices with slow connection could get a head start during the lunch break. ;)

[Graf Paper]

Bless you, BBW! :D

Documentation is vital! :up:

As the old saying goes, from my computer lab days, "RTFM!". :yep:

A thousand thanks to all the Grey Wolves! You've all done a manful job with SH3 over the years and I am always amazed at the little details that make the world so real and immersive, from the tolling of the marker buoy's bell to the industrial sounds of the workers in the drydocks and the historical events that enrich the campaign so much. :rock:

Although I am somewhat melancholy that this is the last go for GWX with SH3, 2.1 will be a triumphant swan song for this supermod and a lasting tribute to your devotion, dedication, skills, and talents. :up:

I sincerely hope that I will see you posting action reports from your careers and dusting it up in multiplayer very soon! You all have earned a healthy vacation to live the Grey Wolves eXperience as kaleuns now, instead of working all the time as modders. :yep:

[sh3rules]

2.1 has been released! These are the best news since my last girlfriend told me she wasn’t pregnant.

[peterloo]

Good job done man!!! :up:

You guys have revamped the game and revolutionized everything within. Bugs that were considered as "unable to solve" are solved. Contents that wasn't inputted was done. Historical inaccuracies are corrected while the ships that is available for one to sink is doubled.

Although I gave up playing GWX for a long time, due to its sheer difficulty, I still appreciate your efforts. Despite the fact that I discovered a bug in the initial release (the Pennang barricade ship in ver 1.0), I feel that what I've done does not deserve such a return ~ a gigantic expansion to the game, which I'd say, is bigger than the U-boat addon released for SH3.

Good luck to your SH4 projects. Hope to see your good work soon :D

[Catfish]

Hello,

thank you all for the hard work !
Maybe i did not say before how much fun this GWX conversion is :D

I know i am always nitpicking and criticising, but is only because it is so much easier than to do what the GWX team has done.

Thanks and greetings, looking forward !

[Tool]

First off.. GREAT WORK and THANK YOU for all that you've done to SH3.

I only have a few quick questions:

1. Is the permanent fix for the ASW trawler CTD issue included in 2.1?

2. Since you mentioned SH3 commander, and i'm running 2.7, I assume I will now have to upgrade to 3.0 correct?

3. Will a 2.0 career be useable if i RTB and save it then try and reload after the 2.1 install/upgrade? (worst part of this is starting over after sailing 15+ patrols)..

Thanks again!

[Konovalov]

Thank you to all that have contributed to this fantastic. :yep: You have truly transformed SHIII to what it should have been. SHIII with GWX and SH3 Commander makes SHIII the most immerssive simulation that I have ever played. Awesome work guys. :rock: :rock:

Now please for Pete's sake take a very long well earned holiday and enjoy the fruits of your labour as all of this lucky community will be doing. :up:

1. yes

2. No you don't HAVE to upgrade, but recommend you do.

3. Theoretically, yes.
Be sure to back up the SH3 folder in my documents, and then when you do the new clean install and such (as per instructions on page 1), then paste the backed up SH3 folder in and try it out.

[siber]

Ladies and Gentlemen of the GWX team: I doff my cap to you all. [Salutes.] I am humbled by your abilities, and in awe of your generosity - giving all your talant and expertise out to us dunderheads with only our gratitude and a sense of satisfaction by way of reward. I truly feel emotional, and you all should feel proud of yourselves, when I say: you are a true sub crew. Working together under pressure from dunderheads, through all hours of the day and night (judging from the timestamps on the mods board), seeing your enormous task through come what may.

You truly are my heroes. I only wish that I could be more like you all. :sunny:
Many, many thanks for everything.

1 Yes
2 Yes - Better off having 3.0 anyway
3 Possibilty it will be - you may start off Africa if the co ordinates of your base moved or you may be ok
Even if you do start off Africa after you dock should hopefully correct itself

There were no unit changes as in some previous versions which usually led to careers being unusable

Thanks to Lehman and the GWX-team! Thanks for all your energy spent to create this update! Just installed it and started a new carreer. Now we have to wait for updated mods from OLC and Rubini.

Hmmm most odd as I just started a patrol in Konigsberg
What other mods are you running ?

Basic: GWX + Sh3 commander selected 7/13 Flotilla but started from Kiel, was hanging around in Kiel bay for 4 days till I got radio message to dock at Konigberg, I failed to reach it btw, Got stuck on shoreline at that Pillau Canal in the middle of the night, received damages, had to dock at Pillau, on next patrol the patrol grid was NULL with Return base in Kiel.

[bigboywooly]

Aye you cannot sail through that strip of water without taking damage
You could have just docked at Kiel as that was your base

Was that a clean SH3 install ?

SH3 can sometimes leave residual files behind
Uninstalling via the disc is usually the safest way to remove the game

Glad you are going in the right direction

Nop, u can sail through it without any damage, I did it on my return from Pillau to Kiel voyage :)

I will check again this tomorrow, maybe I selected Flotilla wrong..

Anyway I will let u know if it will continue to happen again like that.

[Hitman]

Great job as always :up: What amazes me is how you always manage to beat your own previous score :|\\

The open hatch mod and new Type II interiors are plainly the perfect finishing touch. GWX sure deserved having them before the official end of developement :yep:

Very nice. I will wait a little bit longer until the most important mods I'm using right now are GWX2.1-ready.

Why would this be. I'm thinking of trying the same thing.

Because various file changes tie into the career files... and sometimes when there is a data conflict DUE to those changes... (1+1=3) the discreppancy fails to compute / cannot resolve... resulting in a CTD.

(This is why it is so risky to add mods on top of comprehensive work.)

Thanks. Damn, damn, just had one of my best outings to date. Nine ships in a single escort convoy plus others on the way, 21 ships in total. Am at present 10k from Calais with destroyer smoke in the distance ready to make one of my decks awash wunder breakthroughs. Ah well, ah well.
Would it work if I did a dummy first patrol, returned to Willhelmshaven then substituted my present 2.0 first patrol 'patrols 0' file in the new 2.1 career folder.

Maybe, maybe not. It really is at your own risk maam. There are simply too many variables to attempt a full analysis of each player's carreer files.

For that reason, we've got to stick with 'safe' recommendations.

Thanks. May as well start a new one. As this was my first outing in Sep 39 after being sunk off the cape verde isles it isn't such a long way back to go. Will continue with the present breakthrough just to see how it turns out :p

Thank you men! Thank you for your incredible work.:p
You are great!!
Goodbye and good hunting.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Grey Wolves, I need your help...

Ive done the following steps:

0) Disabled all mods via JSGME
1) Uninstalled SH3 normally
2) Deleted all folders in the SilentHunterIII directory, except for the MODS folder
3) Deleted the folder SH3 in my documents
4) Rebooted
5) Installed SH3
6) Installed patch 1.4b
7) Rebooted
8) Installed GWX 2.0
9) When installing GWX 2.1, I get this message:

http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/5645/imagemci8.jpg

What I'm doing wrong?? :hmm:

[Kpt. Lehmann]

You should use the GAME DISK to uninstall SH3.

Remaining MOD files are not deleted by the disk. You should manually delete them following uninstallation via disk.

[Dowly]

A very wild guess, but have you tried to copy & pasting the MODS folder out of the install directory and then install the GWX then copy the mods folder back?

[bert8for3]

Don't know for a fact, but any remnants of your sh3 folder left (in addition to mods folder)? I'd be inclined to try moving your mods folder to backup somewhere and getting rid of the sh3 folder and anything left in it.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

You should use the GAME DISK to uninstall SH3.

Remaining MOD files are not deleted by the disk. You should manually delete them following uninstallation via disk.

DELETE THEM??? ARE YOU NUTZ??? :lol:

No way Im gonna delete my precious little babies, 6gb of mods... I'll just rename the folder to something else or move the folder to another place while installing... Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that the GWX 2.1 installation had problems with the "mods" folder.

:up:

It doesn't have problems with the mods folder... but as we've already explained numerous times... not all mods are compatible etc etc etc.

That is why you need a CLEAN/FRESH installation PT. I don't know how else to explain it to people.

You need a brand new installation of SH3 1.4 + GWX 2.0 + GWX 2.1. Ya can't have any other stuff in there interfering with the installation. The installer detects it and warns you... as you have seen.

[Madox58]

It's not the Mods folder the installer detects.
It's the !Backup\data folder.
it should not exist if all mods are rolledback.
If it remains, but is empty, just delete it.

[Kitzbuell]

I am really thankful for this outstanding mod and i hate to ask something like that but...

Will there be an updated manual? :huh:

Yes. It is included.:up:

I CANT BELIVE YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING YET!!! :lol:

And here I always believed that Kpt. Lehmann was a software professional by trade. Surgery at 4:30 AM today? Subject or Surgical Team? Unless I'm not accurately deciphering EDT and CDT here in the States, with his SubSIM time-stamp; Should he be in surgery on such short sleep?

In any case, we Yankees are well aware of how much bigger things are in Texas and that would include Kpt. Lehman's energy level and the whale of a job he and the GWX Team took on with GWX 2.1 Project. Collectively, you folks are the best! I have been waiting with great anticipation for this latest GWX release and will be downloading and installing everything tonight (hope I can focus on the installation instructions without my excitement level getting the better of me and causing me to screw something up in the process).

On behalf of the entire SH3 Community (I have yet to remove the cellophane on my purchase of SH4 I purchased at the end of 2007), to you members of the GWX Development Team, one and all, a trillion thanks for your hard work, tireless efforts and great sacrifices in delivering this wonderful gift to this global family of SubSIM enthusiasts. To paraphrase the Commander-In-Chief: "Mission Accomplished".

Stand easy GWX Development Team after a job well done! :up:

(Damn, it took me two days to print out the GWX 2.0 manual and two months to read it from cover to cover. I just finished last week too! :damn: )

Happy Hunting Kaleuns!

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Thanks mate!

That was exactly the problem. All the mods were rolledback... but still and weird enough, the !Backup folder was still

standing there with green eyes and long blond hair,
she wasn't wearing underwear (just to rhyme) :lol:

Deleted and the installation proceeded as normal.

Funny tho, the GWX 2.0 installation recognized my installation folder "F:\SilentHunterIII", but the GWX 2.1 installation didn't. It pointed to "G:\Program files\Ubisoft..." which should be the default installation folder (if I was dumb enough to do that :lol: )...

No matter, simple issue, not worth worrying about it.

Thanks, Privateer! :up:

"The precioussssssssssss, ... the precioussssssssss ..."

I am having a "Lord of the Rings" flashback!:rotfl:

[ichso]

Why delete them ? Just move the remaining folders to another location on the same partition. Even if you have 6gb of mods, this is done in no time if you move them instead of copying.
Then you can copy the ones that you think of being still compatible back later.

[iambecomelife]

COngrats to the team. I can't wait to see what's planned for SH4.

[Red Heat]

Fantastic news!
When i buy this game for the first time...i never dream to see my favorite game, sail so far was is reach...full of colour, sound, historical correct and with a suberb gameplay...OUTSTANDING!

Thank you very much, Kpt. Lehmann and GWX team...

[moscowexile]

I followed the installation recommendations to the letter. I then re-installed the mods that were finally working again after my having previously had many problems with OLC GUI 123 on SH3/GWX 2.0.

I had deleted all the mods that I had installed into SH3/GWX 2.0 because, having already re-installed SH3/GWX 2.0 on numerous occassions in order to solve my mod problems, I was only at September 2nd 1939 on a maiden voyage out of Wilhelmshaven; outward bound for the eastern coast of England, I even hadn't past the Frisian Islands, so I had no reluctance in wiping everything out and loading the GWX 2.1 update.

I then added all the mods that I had installed in SH3/GWX 2.0.

With baited breath I started my first mission on SH3/GWX 2.1.

The old problem with OLC GUI 123 had returned: no torpedo numbers on the salvo dial. No matter, thought I, I shall solve that problem later and press on.

Then even stranger: although bound out of Wilhelmshaven for an AO grid, when I then looked at my position on the chart, I found myself off the coast of West Africa.

I tried to start the game three times and the same thing happened, so it's back to SH3/GWX 2.0 for me.

Interestingly, this West African situation continued to happen to me over a year ago with a copy of SH3 that I had bought here. Most games are of dubious origin in this land where I find myself exiled, even though one is assured that they are the genuine article.

How can all this be explained?

:-?

[Hanomag]

Kaluens,

I didnt see any posts here but maybe they are somewhere else?

GWX 2.1, SH3 commander only.. 2nd flotilla.. VIIb .. wilhlemshaven

Anyone having a renown problem? I have started my 1st patrol sank a 10k Large Merchant yet have recieved no credit for it. The war has started, its Sept 7th 1939, its a British vessel, there is a red marker on my map its in my log as a ship sunk BUT I receive no tonnage credit or renown when I reload the game.
So I took the teleporter home just to see and I have zip for the mission.

I hope this doesnt turn out to be a "wheres the tail on the ship marker" ? question like after 2.0's release. If it is please forgive me.

[jas39]

If anyone is wondering, I simply copied over a stock sh3 1.4b install, installed gwx 2, sh3 commander 3, and gwx2.1 on top of it, without ever uninstalling or reboot. And it works fine....took me 15 mins

[Reece]

Can anyone confirm whether the unsinkable Pelagic trawler has been fixed?:-?

[silversurfer]

Thanks again to the GWX guys for creating such a awesome mod. ( I hate calling it a mod cause its so much more than that) Its completely change the whole game to such an extent its the only game I play.
Just a note about the installation in my case.... I deleted all my careers, removed all the mods I'm using but didn't delete them (and theres alot of them) and then rolled back sh3 commader. I then just d/l gwx 2.1 and patched it over the top of my current install. It works fine- touch wood.:D

Moin captais..

I just finished my first patrol from Konigsberg in August of 1939. Everythings fine, most probably last time I selected 7 flotilla in sh3 commander and by some mistake selected the wrong flotilla in the game :p

But some questions I still would like to ask: why we're getting minus renowns for sinking those target ships in the bay ? :nope: Of course they are still neutral but why should we sink them then ? Not to mention the fact that every friendly unit in docks becomes ain't so friendy anymore..

Next bad thing I noticed again which I thought was solved long time ago was half sunk DD at Pillau (probably cause of TC):

What mods did you add back ?

Changes were made to the flotilla cfg to bring the coordinates inline with the LND

Im not sure if you noticed, but those mines are BELOW the terrain. Yes... There's sky, below it there's air, below it there's water, below it there's earth and them below it there's MINES! :lol:

[bigboywooly]

Aye
As the seafloor rises to the coastline any mines set below that depth will appear below ground
In fact you will find they have always been that way as not touched the minefileds
Too much of a CTD inducing nightmare so I left them as were

[moscowexile]

The always starting at a co-ordinate off West Africa problem has gone. I reckon it happened because after re-installing everything, including SH3 Commander 3.0, I added the GWX 2.0 mod for the Commander and then the GWX. 2.1 mod for Commander 3.0.

The mods that I last used on GWX 2.O all work fine on the new update, apart from OLC GUI. These mods included all the Racerboy exhaust mods, the OLC environment mod, the waterflow mod and the OLC waterflow compatibility mod, the big sound mod from Brazil, the torpedo damage mod, and the elite uniform mod.

The West Africa start point problem could very well have been, as indeed was the case as regards my earlier problems with GWX 2.0, wrong filing: I have learnt that WinRAR rarely, if ever in my experience, correctly directs the chosen files into their allocated destinations, so I do it by hand. (Loading mods, I mean :oops:.)

I didn't load the mods manually late last night and that might have been the root cause of my problems.

I have just successfully run GWX 2.1 without OLC GUI: now, having loaded that mod by hand, I'm about to see if it will run correctly.

One tiny little recommendation for whoever edits the new manual: all German nouns begin with a capital letter, hence "schlachtschiffe" (battleships) should read: "Schlachtschiffe". The German nouns in the new manual do not have capitals, which is not Rechtschreibung!

the last time i played gwx a few months ago i found the damage repair times to be far to quick. there was a mod released (longer repair time) which made repair time in my opinion more realistic and fun.

are damage repair times still the same as they were when gwx 2 was first released?
if not, does anyone know if the LRT mod works with gwx2.1?

OK
Yes you will get minus renown as they are neutral ships
Did you not start with 1000 renown to compensate for that ?

As at that time ALL countries are neutral you will become the enemy of all for attacking one
Which is why the message says press " esc " to end patrol

:hmm: the sinking ship looks like Sergs minesweeper
Obviously overlooked when the sinking ship bug fixed
Happens when you spent a long time in render range without visual contact or you enter render\visual range then leave it and re enter some time later

Not sure about the camera issue not seen that one before

hey guys, thanks for this another great improvement..

Have a question thought..

We only have to download one of the 5 files ( Exe files) or all of them...

Are they all the same ???

Just tried a single mission because I wanted to see if the new version would work (didn't feel like deleting/uninstalling everything again, cause I got a descent career going). So far...everything works! :up:

I hate/love the new sonar sounds. Damn scared the sh*t outta me and my crew! :lol: All I can say is that when your getting pinged, it aint pretty. I don't know why that it surprised the hell outta me but it did. Maybe due to the fact that I was expecting the old sound. :doh:

Outstanding work!!

Mast

P.S.-I just remembered something about the sounds...I use different sound mods from others so that might contribute to me hearing some sounds that I haven't heard before.

To everyone on the GWX team - thankyou!!!

hello!
Superb job GWX Dev team!

I have some question: In GWX 2.0 the new periscope location (VIIB) affect my view of First Mechanic - he's hidding behind periscope tube and i can see him well. Is this fix in GWX 2.1, or how can I myself fix/change camera position? The same problem I noticed when I'm standing in rear part Command Room (near old periscope place and fuel indicator) - some pipes cover and interrupt my wiev into fore part of Command room. Can you move camera position near table with damage and crew management picture?

Having just installed GWX 2.1, I have a question when using SH3 Commander with it should I use auto rollback ? How Will it affect me even when I have just saved a game & out to sea. No staright answer in the Sh3 Commander manual.

Great work GWX Devs. It all loaded a treat without going back to square one.
Removed all mods from JSGME. Rolled back SH3 Commander 3.0
This left SH3 GWX 2.0 to Patch 1.4b.
Downloaded GWX 2.1 to "My Downloads". Executed. All "tiggedy boo!!"
My sincerest congratulations to you all and Thanks a Bunch!!!!!..... Dusty

I prefer auto-rollback myself.
It should not affect anything UNTIL you leave the game.
Then it rolls back it's settings.
Start your game through SH3 Commander the next time you start?
It rolls forwards again and all is good.
Jscones will correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the manual is quite clear on the subject. When selected, any SH3Cmdr changes are removed from SH3 automatically when you exit SH3. What isn't clear about that? :hmm:

I’d say Beta, but I guess we can agree that at the time of release SHIII was far from finished. BTW there have been worse releases: Falcon 4, Enemy Engaged 2...

[Wreford-Brown]

i hate to be "that guy" but according to the install instructions posted above we have to start this install process all over from scratch... does this include those of us who already have GWX2.0 installed on a clean copy of 1.4b? :-?

could it not be possible to roll back SH3 Commander, delete all careers and run the 2.1 exe?

or is that scenario acceptable.

hate to be a pain

@Goldenrivet - I tried your short cut and suffered fatal CTDs while the game was loading:oops: .
Went back to the recommended GWX install process and no problems.:rock:

But that's unfair... If I, for example, sell on market any product witch is not ready for use or have multiple malfunction, a customer will bring it to me and will want his money back. Ubisoft don't said even 'sorry...'! That's why SH3 was the last game whitch i buy from them! If GWX DevTeam make a mod for SH4 i will buy it only from second-hand - I will not support again that thievish company!:down:

I know;) Sorry for my english, maybe i don't explained it clearly and precisely - I think that selling new product (SH4) before previous game was fully fixed and done was dishonesty. UBI should support SH3 utill it will coresponding with their pre-relase game content
declaration. I'm talking about tens unused .ogg voices in game directory, other features that have description in SH3 manual but doesn't work in game and many many less important or major bugs. Why they don't published SH4 as paid add-on for SH3 or at least as separate, but compatibile with SH3 (like Il sturmovik and Pacific Figters)?
As I said I know that without SH3 there's no GWX, but why moders must work for free and wasting their own time just because Ubi can't make fully functional game.

Is it just because of my clean install or have the loading times improved?

Just finished my 5 day shakedown trip form Wilhelmshaven and I'm preparing for my first patrol. Really cool that the campaign now starts on august 1st since thats my birthday. Since my boot number is 698 (year and month of birth) I'm sure I'll have a brilliant career, there's no coincedence :smug:

A few questions.

I installed the res fix again to be able to play at 1280x1024 but I noticed this disables the F9 F10 and F11 keys. Any cure for that? (set keys prog doesn't seem to work).

Can someone confirm that installing sound mods won't matter for the 2.1 install?
I want to reinstall Thomson's Whispering Ring Ring mod, and replace the diesel sounds.

Can I install the SB_cameras mod?

Sub skins?

Hope this isn't in the new manual 'cause I couldn't find it in there.

I installed Thomsen's Whispering Ring Ring mod and the game works fine! And since it is a sound file, you can install during a mission.

Contact,

I read your post and thought lets have a try saving the game around the harbour location [career mode] and reload to see what happens, and yep I crashed to desk top at the "Not so long ago" load up screen just like you did :shifty:

I took all mods of so it was a clean 2.1 running through SHIII Cmdr 3.1, no joy :shifty: :hmm:

I read the manual and it talks about 50km and game crashes, but not about this part :hmm: I was surfaced as well, I did this just to see what would happen, I've played the game prior to this and everything worked fine 2.1 through SHIII Cmdr 3.1 :roll:

Interesting :hmm:

[Contact]

Heh.. yeah.. well.. some problems still making some dark clouds around this release too.. :shifty:

This crash can be simply be avoided by not saving close to docks.. or if possible better not touching save option in mission at all, or making multiple saves to lower the crash risks. I can remember my disapointment in GWX 2.0 when I made a save at 00:00 time after that couldn't load it back.. heh, had to say goodbye to that pretty big tonnage I did on that patrol.. :cry:

[Venatore]

Yep, I new this to be the problem even if GWX 2.1 or SHIII 3.1 weren't in the mix this would still happen, I've never saved close to a harbour so its better to find out when your mucking around and not going into a full battle career mode.

Take note :ahoy:

[Maraz]

I stopped playing due to Hardware problems few months ago, when we had GWX 1.3, now I come back and we are at release 2.1 ! Even though GWX 2.0 was said to be the final release !....

Ok, after getting CTD´s all the time reloading a saved career, i´ll try a fresh installation of SHIII this afternoon.

Need answers for install instructions to make it clear :

SH3
Patch 1.4b
GWX 2.0
GWX 2.1
SH3 Cmdr.3.1
GWX files for SH3 Cmdr.3.1

????????

Main question is : SH3 Cmdr last or between GWX 2.0 and 2.1 ?

Downloaded SH3Cmdr.3.1 and hope it will work together with GWX.

My install went smooth as silk, running my first campaign in GWX 2.1, with SHIII commander 3.1, and enjoying my first sortie, and my first kill. I never save in port, and allow myself to clear the base, then save, and exit. I also have a lot of mods installed, most GWX though. Thanks again GWX Team for the ultimate experience in SHIII.

A big hug to the GWX team.
Your dedication for this work will never be thanked enough.

I'm running into troubles though, the amount of new models and textures that have been added are getting my computers on the knees.
GWX2.1 is not even working correctly on one of them, mission loading is freezing at about 3% each time, whatever I'm trying to do. :cry:
It was working somewhat with 2.0, until then.

I've been de-installing/re-installing fully about 4 times since yesterday, and despite my will to play I've switching back to previous GWX (1.3). I want to play, not to keep watching the loading screen.
A light version with lower quality models would be welcome for some people (hint, hint, hint...) ;)

It is not really a problem, since a loading crash recently killed my career :damn:, just wanted to point this on the forum.

Anyway, thanks again.

GWX does need a good chunk of system resource yes. 2gig of RAM is a big help when runniing SH3-GWX...

Loading does take a while due to the sheer volume of content and extras that have been added on to SH3.

Unfortunately as to a light version... can't comment on that... but I believe GWX was made on the "one size fits all" principle.

Hi!

GWX kept the resolution of all the models and skins the same as in stock Silent Hunter III to help keep the display rates (in fps - frames per second) as high as possible. A lot of your loading delay comes not from the models, but from the campaign, which increased every time we updated GWX as we found more historical things to throw in there. You can really see the difference if you compare the time needed to load the merged campaign (the entire war in all theaters) with the time needed to load the Black Sea Only campaign.

SH4 has worked around this problem by loading up only the next six months of events when you start a campaign, rather than the entire war, but that approach is not available for the SH3 engine.
