[nik112]

hi all
after reaching 30 patrols with gwx 2, i thought that was time to load 2.1.
i follow the orders(install game+1.4 patch--reboot-gwx 2-2.1 update reboot)+ sh3 cmdr 3.1+cfg's+mods+additional merchants taking ctd. uninstalling and reinstalling+sh3 cmdr+mods without adding ships patrol starting.
when i try to add merchands (manually) and
replacing from unittype=100 to 102 at m36b & nprt(cyclops collier) taking ctd. its the 3rd time that i need to uninstall and reinstalling everything again

ps tried to change the unittype cause at previous carrer i didnt met none of those ships and imagine that bernard did that.:ping:

any help would be appreciated

The units designated a type=100 are that for for a reason
Otherwise you may end up with half a dozen cam ships in one convoy
Tad unrealistic
They arent the type of ships you should be regulary meeting - still to each his own

What are you changing on those units ?
Both cfg files ?
They are also on the campaign files though cant remember if only as a type=100 random choice not as a named unit

Whats the error message ?

Said it before hundreds of times - the error message will always narrow down a problem

Does the game play ok before you start messing with the unit types ?
And what other ships are you trying to add

[nik112]

hi bbw
1/ error message: modname=sh3.exe i ll post a pic later
2/ i changed unittype from 100 to 102 at data/sea/m36b or nprt/cfg only
3/ i added from mad max shipyard klss hansa ,kghan, hansa war class,
trainer42-roi58 converted from sh4 ot tender, hakusika, biyo, zimbu, ol nippon
and from suchoi.ru the converted nagara.
by the way i had installed all of them at gwx 2.0

cheers

[nik112]

just got an idea. maybe i found it. let me describe what i ve done.
i was enabling mods, starting a new career (hans weber)- load sh3-start i was at port at my sub--esq dock at base-exit sh3.
added ships-load sh3-load saved carrer(hans weber) and then ctd
is that the reason ? if yes i ll change my name to bernard
cheers

[bigboywooly]

You need to change ALL cfgs from type=100 to 102 for those 2 ships
That is the cfgs in the data/Sea/*** folder
AND
The cfgs in the data/Roster/*country*/Sea

------------------------------


I think Sub image mod is the problem.
I have the same problem when I load my.. GWX2.0 VIIc/41 Mod:roll:

The all radar is damage and I can not active Deck Position (F4) and the CDT is frozen :dead:

[nik112]

hi guys
problem remains as i disabled all mods and unistalled all the ships that i had add including cfg on roster and at english names.begining unistalling everything and reinstalling again.
cheers:damn::D

[bigboywooly]

Well as you are still getting the error I suggest that on reloading SH3 you make sure it works before patching
Then make sure that plays before adding GWX 2.0
And make sure that plays before adding 2.1

Any changes you make to the cfg files should really be done so you can JSGME them in
Doesnt work then disable the changes

If you hold off adding AOTD_Maxs units till early next week I should have something sorted out with those by then

[nik112]

hi bbw
1/ i was hurry and i didnt read your previous post. but i ll follow your advice. by the way till last week everything was ok with gwx 2.0
2/now remembered that when try to install 2.1 am taking a message saying that the contents will installed at ../prog files/ubisoft/sh3 and the folder already exist
do you want to replace? answer is yes and starting installation. is that normal?

cheers:ping: :oops:

[bigboywooly]

Yeah thats normal
It just overwrites the files inside

[nik112]

hi
installed sh3+1.4b patch ok
gwx 2.0 ok
gwx 2.1+olce2 1.6 ok
and then i thought that everything its ok i enabled mods+ships and as always damn ctd

i switching back to gwx 2.0
cheers

[bigboywooly]

Try without adding the ships
Tis more than likely one of them

[bigboywooly]

As mentioned previously

[nik112]

hi bbw
its possible to change the "origin=german' to "british-canadian etc?
cheers

[bigboywooly]

hi bbw
its possible to change the "origin=german' to "british-canadian etc?
cheers

Of course
Although making them so would put Br\Ca ships in Ge ports in time of war

They are German ships
Why add them to any other roster

If you want to use them as Br\Ca then delete the campaign files from that mod and the ships from the German roster and add them to the British\Canadian

[FIREWALL]

Hi BBW :D

How are you able to take a picture of Error Message blue box ?


I've tried copy , Take Picture, and no luck.

Will let me hilite text but won't let me copy \ paste.

Knowing how to do this will help me post 4 ctd's in a row I had last nite in the future.

This will help alot I think.

Thx FIREWALL.

[Reece]

Hit the Prt Scr key then go to graphic program & paste then select area & crop, hope that helps.:yep:

[nik112]

and now the good news
srarted the 1st patrol and had enabled mods but no ships added. thinking to do 2-3 patrols and then i ll add ships one by one.

cheers:ping::p

[FIREWALL]

Hit the Prt Scr key then go to graphic program & paste then select area & crop, hope that helps.:yep:

edit: Couldn't make it work. :cry: Maybe BBW can help me with this.

This is a good tool to help figure out ctd's.:yep:

[bigboywooly]

When SH3 CTDs it will give you a pop up error message

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h22/bigboywooly/ScreenHunter_168-1.jpg

Note the blue text " click here "

Click on that and another window will pop up

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h22/bigboywooly/ScreenHunter_169-2.jpg

This pop up shows the actual error
In the one I posted it is highlighted
" Simdata.dll "

If you are not running a screenshot program pressing the PrtScrn button will take a snap of the desktop with that error pop up on
Open windows paint and go to edit then paste

Now your screenshot will show
Save that as a JPG and upload to a site such as Photobucket and post here

Just posting the mod named in the error message is a start but the other info on there is handy depending on what the error is

If you are not getting a pop up error message make sure Windows error reporting is enabled


Windows Error Reporting is enabled by default but if you have disabled it, you can activate it again using the System Properties Tab in your Control Panel.
So next time any program crashes, an automatic error report is generated and displayed on your desktop asking you to submit the details to Microsoft. Click on the 'details' tab and post the file error info in your thread.
