NYGM 3 Super-mod (Current: 3.6 F, January 13th 2015)

This new patch replaces patch 3.5/3.5A, see here:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1784696&postcount=582
Download the new version from my signature, at the bottom of this post. The SubSim web-page contains full details of which downloads you need to make, depending on how much of NYGM you have installed already.

Details of the original version 3.0 are given below:

New Features (for NYGM 3.0):

1. The new Type XXIII boat.
2. The Real Weather Fix.
3. Racerboy's exhaust smoke for all U-boats. (Used with permission.)
4. Iambecomelife's new merchant fleet, incorporated into convoys.
5. Key changes made to stop the way in which a U-boat could pass into a convoy from the front, at periscope depth, without ever being detected by the front escort. You will have to be much more careful now.
6. Schnorchelling improved, so that the crew doesn't die of exhaustion in stormy weather. (This is much more complicated than it sounds.)
7. 'Bold' asdic decoy made much more realistic with new, unpublished, research.
8. More realistic battery ranges underwater.
9. SH3Patrol program updated with new patrol grids for the Type XXIII boat. (Also other changes.)
10. New updates for NYGM for those who use SH3Commander.
11. The east-coast minefield mod included, marks the giant British east-coast minefields on your map.

There are numerous small changes, fixes, adjustments to the campaign files and air power, and similar.

Wow great job and just in time for the weekend patrols :D :up:

If time permits, I hope you can somewhen upload a full 3.0 version, as for those who are like me using 2.2 as basis and updating with all succesive patches it becomes a bit of a mess sometimes :doh:

@Hitman:
If time permits, I hope you can somewhen upload a full 3.0 version, as for those who are like me using 2.2 as basis and updating with all succesive patches it becomes a bit of a mess sometimes Good point, but it takes a long time both to upload a complete stand-alone package, and to download it.

I'll make a complete package if there is sufficent demand.
In the meantime, you can start again with NYGM 2.5 (stand-alone) + NYGM 3.0.

The IABL ships really have to be supplied separately, so that updates can be provided at some later date, without need for a complete re-installation.

@BBW:

IABL ships are released as a selection of his merchant fleet (not single releases from IABL, although some of these are included too).

Some are completely re-zoned, and also given NYGM's 'phase-2' slow-sinking mod.
Others have not been re-zoned (yet), but also have our 'phase-2' slow-sinking mod.

Do limitations on minimum torpedo launching depth and lack of contact fuse are still present in NYGM 3.0?

I suppose the important question, and perhaps a taboo, is:
How does it compare to GWX?

HI great to See NYGM is still going strong, I used to play the original and it was fantastic but then I wnet to GWX when that mod was updated.

However I saw this new version and thought to give it a try. I hope I dont cause any upset, I always hoped GWX and NYGM would be merged, but as they are not I guess we have to see which suits our tastes. Both are great mods and their respective teams deserve full praise for their time and effort in producing these amasing mods.

Having said that, I am assuming the latest NYGM is not compatable with the latest GWX, and I am assuming that those of us who are coming at NYGM3.0 for the first imte need to update first with NYGM2.5FULON, then update to 3.0 and that we shoud remove any GWX mods can you confirm?

Also will OLCE2 work with the latest NYGM, please excuse me if my questions appear a bit dumb or lame, I have been away from the forums for quite a while with serious and ongoing computer issues so ham not enirely up to date with whats what and whose who

NYGM version 3.0 Released!

Because many people who use NYGM have slower computers, or slow internet connections, NYGM 3.0 has been released as an *overlay* for the existing full version NYGM 2.5 'FULON' stand-alone version.

If you have already installed NYGM 2.6B onto NYGM 2.5, then you can un-install it with JSGME, but it doesn't matter if you forget (NYGM 3.0 contains the 2.6B additions).

Download NYGM3_0.7z from my signature, unzip it with 7-Zip or WinRAR, and copy it into your folder silenthunteriii\mods. Then install the mod with JSGME.

*In addition*, you can download those ships from Iambecomelife's New Merchant Fleet that we have re-zoned and/or given the special sinking NYGM slow-sinking model. The package is also available by clicking on my signature, and the file is named IABLShipsforNYGM3.7z. Install it in the same way as NYGM 3.0 (you *must* install it AFTER NYGM 3.0). This package contaisn a good selection of IABL's ships, and a new campaign file.

Don't forget to read the manual!

New users.
You should install NYGM 2.5 stand-alone version onto a clean install of Silent Hunter III patched with Ubisoft's 1.4b patch. You will also need to read the NYGM 2 and NYGM 2.4/2.5 manuals supplied with NYGM 2.5.

New Features (just a reminder of what I copied earlier):

1. The new Type XXIII boat.
2. The Real Weather Fix.
3. Racerboy's exhaust smoke for all U-boats. (Used with permission.)
4. Iambecomelife's new merchant fleet, incorporated into convoys.
5. Key changes made to stop the way in which a U-boat could pass into a convoy from the front, at periscope depth, without ever being detected by the front escort. You will have to be much more careful now.
6. Schnorchelling improved, so that the crew doesn't die of exhaustion in stormy weather. (This is much more complicated than it sounds.)
7. 'Bold' asdic decoy made much more realistic with new, unpublished, research.
8. More realistic battery ranges underwater.
9. SH3Patrol program updated with new patrol grids for the Type XXIII boat. (Also other changes.)
10. New updates for NYGM for those who use SH3Commander.
11. The east-coast minefield mod included, marks the giant British east-coast minefields on your map.

I haven't tried NYGM yet, but hope to in the near future.

I should imagine GWX and NYGM are not compatable....they certainly haven't been in the past.

Wilcke

07-11-08, 09:37 AM

Rascal101,

Setup a seperate install of of SH3 with NYGM3.0. Whereas GWX has an installer. NYGM utilizes JSGME to enable.

NYGM 2.5 Full
NYGM 3.0

That should get you up and running and prevent many headaches.

As for OLC I just load OLC 1.2.6. which is just the interface.

There you are set to go.

Happy Hunting!

07-11-08, 03:03 PM

I always hoped GWX and NYGM would be merged...

The problem with 'merging' supermods is that they change different files to accomplish different things for different reasons. There's no reason why someone who knows what he's doing couldn't adapt and mate files to accomplish one thing or the other, but even if I could do a 'mated' version, it would be what I wanted to play and still not necessarily be what you wanted.

The only way to get exactly what you want out of games (or out of life) is to learn to do it yourself. Me, I'll use whatever one comes closest to my ideal, and then break it with too much fiddling around.:rotfl:

@ Stiebler: Congratulations on getting a new version out.

Stiebler

07-12-08, 02:41 AM

To address miscellaneous points raised:

Do limitations on minimum torpedo launching depth and lack of contact fuse are still present in NYGM 3.0? Limitations of launch depth: Yes.
Lack of contact fuse: I presume you mean 'will the torpedo explode on contact?' The answer is yes (unless the torpedo is a dud), even though only magnetic contact can be selected. NYGM uses this combination to try to mimic the unreliability of early-war torpedoes.

I am assuming the latest NYGM is not compatable with the latest GWX, and I am assuming that those of us who are coming at NYGM3.0 for the first imte need to update first with NYGM2.5FULON, then update to 3.0 and that we shoud remove any GWX mods can you confirm?
1. I doubt if any super-mod is compatible with any other, since the campaign files usually involve different ships and roster entries.
Specifically, NYGM (any version) is not compatible with GWX (any version).
2. No need to remove any GWX files, though. Just create a separate installation of SilentHunterIII, with a different folder name. This has been described many times before. Easiest is to use a new drive partition, if your hard drive is partitioned into several drives (C:, D:, E: etc). Then install NYGM on top of your new version of SH3.
As you have said, and others have confirmed, new users need to install only NYGM 2.5FULON, then patch with NYGM3.0 (lastly add the IABL ships download).

Will OLCE2 work with the latest NYGM?
Haven't tried it, sorry, but Wilcke has suggested (below) you try OLC 1.2.6. Thanks Wilcke.

Finally, many thanks to all who have congratulated us on our new release.

Stiebler.

07-12-08, 03:22 PM

looks great - installed on top of it my favorite OLC2/OLE2 special without any problems

only using sh3com creating a new carrear i had an issue of 2 many crew members but could fix it easily by giving some of them the golden boot before leaving for patrol.

i worked the pdfs and readme files to find out if its by design in NYGM that there are no map updates of ships/subs whatsoever regardless of the reality settings with no success. I assume thats the case since it was already the case with the supermod active only.

Stiebler

07-13-08, 04:27 AM

@xristoskaiti:
I'm not familiar with an air depthcharge mod.
A quick search on this forum gives thousands of hits for depthcharges, while the extra key words "air" and "mod" are rejected as too short or too frequent.
If you know of an existing mod that does this, I shall look into it.

@nirwana:
Part of the NYGM2.5 installation (on which you place NYGM3.0) contains a JSGME compatible folder to restore ships on the map. Look in folder 'Documentation\Restore Gods Eye View'. Just copy this folder into your Mods folder, and install with JSGME.

:D Great thats what i needed to emulate the map contacts using OLC's supermods in gwx and wac by activating it earlier in line then those. Activating it after takes too much realismus out of it. After playing it for a couple of thousend hours :rock:i might not even need any updates on the map other then the hydros.

Been playing the whole weekend in the Mediterranean and with the Type XXIII and I like the new version very much :up:

I have noticed however that now the medium clouds have dissapeared :hmm: now I have only either the very dark ones or no clouds at all. But the weather certainly stays fair more time than before, when frequent and long storms where the norm. I would suggest you make a JSGME enabable version without the weather fix for careers in the North Atlantic and Arctic. Seeing so much sun and clear skies there is a bit strange :-?

Also, you should contact Onelifecrisis for his horizon fix mod -makes the horizon be sharp and allows a correct visualisation of tops of masts-, as after playing some time with it I now miss it a lot in NYGM :hmm:

Great job anyway :up: :up:

Stiebler

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you like the new version.
You should contact Onelifecrisis for his horizon fix mod -makes the horizon be sharp and allows a correct visualisation of tops of masts-, as after playing some time with it I now miss it a lot in NYGM OK.

JSGME-compatible Mod to restore original weather: OK.

@xristoskaiti:
Thanks for the links. I've downloaded and examined the ASW mod. Most of what it offers is already installed with NYGM, including aerial depthcharges which explode at 35 meters. The Catalina, Sunderland, Wellington bombers already drop depthcharges in NYGM.
The Liberator, which is used a lot, does not drop depth-charges. This should be pretty easy to alter, and I am testing it now.

07-17-08, 06:35 AM

One more detail I have noticed: In 29th Flotilla careers started in March 1942 it is not unusual to get assigned to grid CJ26, which is in the north-east coast of Italy in the adriatic :-? Unless there is some historic action there I can't remember now, I would say that the assignement is an error?

I have customized my own Flotillas cfg replacing CJ26 with something more appropiate, and of course SH3 commander or SH3 patrol can solve the problem, but again it could be worth doing the 30 seconds job of changing it for the next NYGM patch/released fix :up:

Stiebler

07-18-08, 01:02 PM

@Hitman,

Yes, being sent to the north-eastern Adriatic in March 1942 (or at *any* time!) is a pretty poor patrol area.
I wonder how it arose originally? Anyway, thanks for the information, and I shall correct it.

Incidentally, don't forget that SH3Patrol (included with NYGM) will reassign patrol areas for you (although not for the very first patrol of a career):

SH3Commander uses the devs' original tables in flotilla.cfg for grid assignments. These grids are assigned according to your current flotilla, regardless of how inappropriate they may be (eg being directed from Norway in late 1944 with a giant IXD2 into the heavily-patrolled English Channel!)

SH3Patrol uses its own table created from a sampled and verified selection of patrol grids, taking only the most common patrol areas. These grids apply to your current U-boat type, the date, and the base. SH3Patrol mostly alters files different from SH3Commander, so that the two mods do not conflict.

Stiebler.

Hitman

07-18-08, 01:05 PM

Thanks yes I already mentioned it: and of course SH3 commander or SH3 patrol can solve the problem

but the problem is exactly as described by you: This grid is assigned to you in the first patrol when starting in 1942 :damn:

I'd like to thank the NYGM team for their fabulous work! The XXIII is really so much fun :up: The only little disturbing thing I noticed is the position when on the bridge (F4) because of the UZO right before your nose. The way around this prob is adding

[2]
DropDownName=Position
search,UseInitialLocalPos,2,byte,>2,UseInitialLocalPosition
search,InitialLocalPos,4,single,>2,Captain´s viewpoint X-Value
search,InitialLocalPos,4,single,>6,Captain´s viewpoint Y-Value
search,InitialLocalPos,4,single,>10,Captain´s viewpoint Z-Value

to the minitweaker's NSS_Uboat21_cam.txt. Then alter the Y-Value to 0.1867 or whatever you want, making you see over the UZO.

The idea comes from the tweakfiles from DivingDuck and is only added by myself to the 21_cam, as this was the only file missing in his package.

Making it with 14 knts surfaced in the night through a swarm of escorts, elcos and destroyers from the atlantic to gibraltar harbor and attacked the anchored southhampton and being shot by every available gun (include the cooks dirty knives) of it caught by surprise since o am not used to anchored ships biting back in other supermods. So i went back to a saved game 1hr back in time and still 20 km away from the cruiser surounded by forts and lots of small warships previously not detecting me. As soon as the game finished loading every gun and searchlight in a 7 km range zeroed in unloading their weapons.

It is intended that u cannot save a game being surounded by enemies without being attacked after reloading the game when u exchanged fire before ? I tried another save just at the entrance of the straight with 4 escorts close by and they acted in the same way.

Stiebler

07-21-08, 10:39 AM

@Nirwana,

What you are describing is stand behaviour in the original un-modded SH3 game.

It is always a risk to save a game when other ships are nearby.
It is a bigger mistake to save a game if there is a convoy nearby - you often get a Crash-to-Desktop (CTD) when you reload.
It is the biggest mistake to save a game if there is more than one convoy nearby - you will often get a CTD after reloading the game.

been away from sh3 for positively ages, thought i'd reinstall and give it a whirl -- an lo and behold, there's a brand new version of tonnage war out. sweet. nice work, stiebler and co, your efforts are appreciated.:up:

are any versions of the longer repair time mod compatible with this?

also, are you considering making u-boat mods for sh4 at any point in the future?

Stiebler

07-22-08, 12:37 PM

@Kaleu_Mihoo:

Thanks for the information concerning the _cam.txt file. I shall try it soon.

@caspofungin:

Thanks for the kind words. NYGM already incorporates a longer repair time mod. I don't know whether any other version might be compatible.

There is unlikely to be a version of NYGM for SH4. If there is, I shall not be part of the team, since I am largely ignorant about US fleet boats.

07-23-08, 03:25 AM

but you're decidedly well-informed on u-boats -- what i meant was, now that the ubm add-on has brought u-boats to the sh4 engine, will you consider porting the work of nygm to sh4/ubm? ie a realism-oriented mod for the u-boat afficionados out there?

Hitman

07-23-08, 06:19 AM

Well I hope there could be at least a limited version of NYGM for the U-Boat missions expansion :up: and who knows, maybe in the future add other small theatres like the Mediterranean and Arctic, or the so well worked "Inshore Campaign" for late war periods :rock:

Hi to all I wonder if some one can help, I've just downloaded both the Fulon and latest NYGM3 via Flashget

I just tested both files before installing them via JSGMe and both report that they have broken files.

Now I have been having a lot of trouble downloading items from the net, not just games or patches, so I dont think its a problem with your site or where the files are lodged for people like me ot download them.

I wonder if there is someone out there with decent computer experience who can say what may be going on or suggest a sollution. Whenever I download a patch or mod, 7 out of ten times its corrupt or broken, whatevfer is not usable.

There is nothing about my computer not my internet that seems to be at fault, I use XP and Kaspersky anti virus.

Any ideas

After spotting a juicy large convoy heading to gibraltar i took out the leading black swan as usually and unload my eals onto the helpless cargos. Cause the 4 remaining escorts start zigzagging zeroing onto my position i decided not to engage them and going deep.

Inspite being directly below a c3-cargo until im deep enough for a runaway they dropped wabos like they give a damn about the health of it so i dived to 210m (im using a type IX) just a notch above where i get panicking comments from my helmsman. I could only stabilize the depth by going two third which enabled the foes above to keep in touch with me. After 10 min i didnt even use evasing maneuvres anymore and set TDC to x32 cause http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/icons/icon4.gif none of the dozends of wabos they dropped were close enough to even scratch my expensive 6 color airbrush hull. :o

After almost 5 hrs of wasting wabos of the last remaining escort chasing me and the sun went up it finally gave up or ran out of wabos and trolled back to his convoy.

Since i still have a full set external eals im gonne run after the same convoy and check if i can replicate it again.

Stiebler

08-02-08, 01:10 AM

@Nirwana:

You have described the 'crash-dive blues', when you have to go at 2/3 ahead submerged to avoid sinking.
This occurs when you interrupt a crash-dive before it has completed. For example, you extend the crash-dive depth from its normal depth to a much deeper depth while still in the crash-dive. Your U-boat settles in a stern-down position, which makes it hard to control. The only solution is to rise again to a depth *above* the crash-dive limit (80 meters for NYGM), then crash-dive again, this time allowing the crash-dive to complete.
The 'crash-dive blues' is a bug found in the unmodified game, but, owing to NYGM's damage model, it is much easier to notice (and much more serious) with NYGM.
The long-term solution is: Never interrupt a crash-dive until you have completed it!
I recommend the following approaches:
1. Crash-dive (key 'C') if an aircraft attacks.
2. Deep dive (key 'D') at full speed if a warship approaches (assuming that the warship has already detected you - otherwise dive very slowly).
The crash-dive goes a little faster to a depth of 80 meters, but the deep dive is much easier to control with warships around.

@rascal101:
I do not know of a list of NYGM-specific mods. Mods made specially for NYGM are usually incorporated into the next release.
I would advise very strongly, however, that you do not add new ships casually to NYGM. Our damage model for slow ship-sinking has made big changes to file zones.cfg, with unexpected results for new ships. If we like other designer's new ships (eg those of Iambecomelife, Sergbuto), we make changes to the zones to fit our pattern.

@Kranz:
NYGM is compressed with the 'ultra' setting in 7-zip. This is to reduce downloading times for those with slow internet connections.
It would appear from your comments that WinRAR does not open files compressed to such an extent. Perhaps in future I had better compress with default settings in 7-zip. But this program is free anyway, so no one is forced to use WinRAR.

@Hitman/Caspofungin:
It would take an enormous effort to transfer NYGM into SH4 + U-boats release 1.5.
At the end of all this effort, we would have the existing NYGM, a little prettier.
That's not much of an inducement to start, is it?
Lurker's Atlantic campaign mod for SH4 uses many NYGM mods and ideas, with our permission.

Stiebler.

Stiebler, thanks to you and your team for continuing and improving this mod. It´s nice to see that there are still alternatives to GWX.

Is there any way to get the "old" 8k scenery? Like in previous versions of NYGM? 16k is too much workload for my computer and playing convoy games with 4fps is no fun at all...

08-02-08, 04:57 AM

@Nirwana:
You can change the value of crash dive depth in cfg files of each u-boat.I reduced it to 20m for each.When it reaches 19 I set it to e.g 80m.Of course I can make the maneuver slower but it works good enough.
@Stiebler:
Actually I meant that I've never managed to open NYGM 2.5 (dl-ed from Der Teddy Bar file front page) with this 7 zip free software. I had to use Power Archiever every time.Besides 7 zip uses the disc space to decompress the file and since I have it reduced I encountered problems with it

nirwana

08-02-08, 07:27 AM

Originally my post wasnt about the issues of using crashdiving or trimming in general. I dived regulary with engines off. In general below 80m i have to go one third and below 150m two third with this boat in NYGM to trim it.I dont have any prob with it. It makes it more challenging.

Is it by design of NYGM that no wabos will come close enough to cause any damage at critical depth at two third (after wabos explosions i even was forced to run temporarly full ahead to get back to my desired depth of 210m) or unintended and therefor a cheat to use it.

@Kranz:
Besides 7 zip uses the disc space to decompress the file and since I have it reduced I encountered problems with it Are you saying that you have insufficient hard-disk space for 7-zip to open NYGM 2.5?
If so, there is nothing we can do about it.

@Goggy:
I doubt if the old 8km horizon can be restored, because all the sensors are configured for 16km horizon. Sorry.

@Nirwana:
NYGM has not been fixed so that running at two-third speed at critical depth. Indeed, it is normally very dangerous to do so, although if you keep turning you might be able to avoid the depthcharges (the faster you turn, the easier it is to evade depthcharges at any depth). However, it will be very difficult to escape detection by the escorts, and, the more times they attack, the more likely you are to be hit by a depthcharge.

It would take an enormous effort to transfer NYGM into SH4 + U-boats release 1.5.
At the end of all this effort, we would have the existing NYGM, a little prettier.
That's not much of an inducement to start, is it?

I have to disagree. The SH4 engine is better than that of SH3, especially Campaign-wise. Additional possibilities provide an opportunity to have even more immersive and more realistic gameplay.

Not to mention, it would be great to have in SH4 a group of creative people, such as NYGM team, who in the process of working on the NYGM mod came up with a number of pioneering ideas which were later repeated/adopted in other super-mods/mod compilations.

It is certainly very gratifying to receive such generous praise from you, one of SubSim's most talented modders. Thank you very much indeed.

However, although I take the points you raised, a version of NYGM for SH4 + U-boat add-on would definitely fall into the category of 'too much effort, too little return' (speaking only for myself).

@Kranz:
It seems to me that there is a problem with your downloading system, if 7-zip will not open the files after several downloads. There is certainly not a problem with the original file, which is byte-identical to the one which I uploaded to FileFront. (I always check with a file comparison utility after downloading files I have uploaded, in order to make sure the download is identical to the original file).

Ghost ships?

That is a new problem for me. I have never seen it before, and I have played two complete careers (1939 to 1945) with NYGM 3.0, as well as numerous test patrols.

The ship you have illustrated in your three pictures is one of Iambecomelife's new merchant fleet. As stated in the download documentation, some of these ships have been properly rezoned for use with NYGM, and have good zone properties, some have not been properly rezoned but their existing sinking-zone properties have been altered to give them slow sinking times.

It is true that sometimes those ships not properly rezoned do not appear in your log after you have sunk them - however, this is rare.

Can you provide more details about ghost ships? For example, what are the weather conditions? Have you attacked them with guns or torpedoes? Do they ever vanish without being attacked? Thanks.

On a related subject:
Sometimes you may receive a radar-warning of an imminent attack by a radar-fitted bomber. However, the bomber never arrives. Instead, a 'ship-sunk' symbol appears on your map, because the aircraft has suddenly crashed before you saw it.

I have been trying to discover the cause of this behaviour, with no success yet. Unfortunately it happens so rarely, and the effect is not reproducible in controlled missions. It is particularly noticeable when passing on the surface north of the Faeroe Islands (Torshaven) late in the war, and it seems that strong winds are also required.

Stiebler.

Alright here we go:

for the loner merchant in the screenshot:

- perfect wheather conditions except waves at 15m/s
- therefore only torpattack possible (1 eal only was necessairy to sink it)
- i repeated the attack on this ship about 3x with a saved file being 50km away from its actual position
- it started vanishing only just before its going down each time

above criterias applied to the convoy i attacked 1 day gametime earlier as well except it was nightime. i downed 8 cargos. 3 of them vanished in the same way. 1 of the 3 survived approx 3 hrs before it was finally unlockable, destroyed and vanished like the others.

@Nirwana:

Concerning vanishing ships:
I have tested all 14 cargo ships (excluding tankers) from IABL's 'New Merchant Fleet' which are provided with NYGM. Tested in a single-mission convoy, with no escorts so I can sink the merchants easily. Winds set to 15 m/s.

12 of these 14 ships sank correctly, most with one torpedo, a few with two torpedoes.
Of the other two ships, one sank, but no credit was given. The other remained floating on the surface after being torpedoed, but could not be locked-on with the UZO or periscope. Credit for this was also not given.
These two unsuccessful ships have not been rezoned properly, so this is a known problem which does not always occur even with the same ships.

None of these ships became invisible while sinking. Nor have I ever seen this effect before in long testing. Are you perhaps using some other mods as well as NYGM?

Has anyone else had the problem of sinking ships becoming invisible?

btw. remember the post with wabos wont hit in critical depth ? Im now absolutly sure im safe there in a type IX to avoid any wabos no matter what speed im running or even being stationary. Its now my std evasive tactic after an attack on a convoy and it didnt failed for more then 8 attacks. I generally running in a circle with 2/3 chased by 2-3 escort wasting their wabos. Even if they still running over me not having any wabos left they leave for sure at sunrise or dawn.

08-17-08, 04:10 AM

@zombiewolf:

For the Max Albrecht, you must install the 'Harbor Traffic Add-in' mod (originally made by Rubini, but modified for NYGM).
You can find it in folder \NYGM3_0\documentation\.
Copy the Harbor Traffic folder into your '\data\mods\' folder, then install it with JSGME.
You *must* be at a base to install the Harbor Traffic Mod.

@Nirwana:
1. OLC2 affects key files, and a version has never been made for NYGM. If it works for you, then OK, but it is dangerous to use in NYGM without alteration.
However, you say that the 'invisible' sinking ships have never returned, so it may have been a temporary bug. Saving and reloading a game often introduces strange artefacts to game play. The original devs never expected so many extra ships to be added.
It is particularly inadvisable to save a game near a convoy, or at any time after two convoys have spawned together near your U-boat.

2. If you have found a way to avoid depth-charges, then use it. This is called 'experience'. It is the reason why experienced U-boat commanders were more likely to survive the war than commanders without experience.

a version of NYGM for SH4 + U-boat add-on would definitely fall into the category of 'too much effort, too little return' (speaking only for myself).

I agree if it is a matter of porting it all over. However, some isolated NYGM features should make his way to SH4 IMHo because as sergbuto said, the engine is much better and solves many limitations of SH3 (erratic air attacks over 256x TC, Resupply from Milk Cows, Faster loading times, weather, crew management...).

It would be nice if it started as the own NYGM did, i.e. with small but important modifications. I for one would like to see the NYGM U-Boat physics ported over to SH4, f.e., as a little but essential modification :up:

I have tested it in two very extended patrols, involving twice refuelling from U-tankers for each patrol, in 1943-1944, and in a series of single missions with varying weather conditions. It works wonderfully!

This is a great addition to NYGM, and can be downloaded from my signature below. Look for file 'OLCHorizonFix.7z'.
Unzip it with 7-zip or (I hope) WinRAR, place it in your silenthunteriii\mods folder, and install with JSGME.

*ahem*

To the chaps using OLCE2 with NYGM
To say that OLCE2 breaks NYGM might be an overstatement, but it does make some things function differently than NYGM's authors intended. Obviously ships will see worse at night. While this is arguably a good thing in GWX, the same cannot necessarily be said for NYGM, which has sensors set differently to GWX. Furthermore, using OLCE2 in NYGM will give you GWX's wave heights, which would "break" this part of NYGM:

Schnorchelling improved (Stiebler)

Maximum wave height has been reduced, partly again to improve visibility in stormy weather, partly to improve detection by escorts of the U-boat at periscope depth, but also to reduce crew fatigue while schnorchelling in stormy seas. The constant oscillation of the crew from diesel room to electric room as the schnorchel falls below the water surface has a very serious effect on crew fatigue, and this can have a drastic effect on the engine-room crew’s ability to perform during very long schnorchel cruises in late 1944 or early 1945. In stormy weather, schnorchel at night closer to the surface than usual in order to reduce this effect.
There may be other adverse effects as well.

In contrast, the OLC Horizon Fix for NYGM won't alter the NYGM gameplay in any way at all. It just fixes the horizon and some stock graphics bugs, as described above by Stiebler.

08-27-08, 11:51 AM

One little suggestion to all NYGM Type XXIII users :), you can with a very easy change switch the current Type XXI interior for the Type II one, which seems way more appropiate for the smaller dimensions of the boat.

To do it, once enabled the Type XXIII, go to:

data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat21

and open with notepad the file "NSS_Uboat21.cfg". You will see this as first block of text:

[Unit]
ClassName=SSTypeXXI
HumanPlayable=YES
Interior=data/Interior/NSS_Uboat21/NSS_Uboat21
UnitType=200
MaxSpeed=15.6
MaxSpeedSubmerged=16
Length=76.7

Alright after playing NYGM :/\\k: with 100% realitysettings for 2.5 years :rock:gametime (18 patrols) and removed any mod which makes it easier to play, im very happy with this mod though sometimes i cant find any targets for weeks in the patrol which how it worked in those days in WW2. I found only minor glitches of the scripts like a few ships of a convoy just quit moving and were bouncing around like they were glued to the waves or the whole convoy doublebacking on its projected course but thats nothing which shouldnt bother anyone.

The only issue which i personally find too easy is to get new boats/equippment without the requirement of having a certain amount of reputation to select them. Is there a way to change it with a mod or manually ? :hmm:

The renown to buy new equipment is related directly to tonnage sunk, in the original SH3.

Therefore, if you wish to restrict your ability to get new equipment until you think you have earned it, then the easy way is to set tonnage limits before asking for the new equipment.

For example, you cannot ask for a new U-boat until you have sunk 50,000 or 100,000 tons after your last boat.

The big advantage of this method is that you can set your own tonnage figures for whatever value you want. Any mod which tried to achieve the same result would displease different players in different ways.

The new Optics Mod from Hitman, for NYGM 3.0, is now available for download by clicking on my signature below. (Filefront, file: Hitman_Optics_NYGM_3.0.7z).

This a wonderful new 'realism' addition to NYGM 3.0, which requires the user to calculate his own ranges for torpedo firing, identify his own target ships manually, and provides a superb new interface for the UZO and the two periscopes. I have been playing it continuously for the past two weeks, so I know it works perfectly.

Of course, not everyone will want to calculate their own ranges and identify their own ships, so this should be regarded as an *optional* mod - but one which I recommend strongly that all NYGM users try!

We recommend that you install first OLC's NYGM Horizon Fix (also available from my signature below). The combination of the two is fantastic!

In addition, the included new files commands_en(or de).cfg contain two other options:
Pressing 'Enter' key brings time compression to 1x (previously this key had no effect).
Pressing 'Ctrl+W' provides an instant weather update. Useful when cruising at periscope depth.

Hitman has included detailed instructions with his package.
Unzip the file Hitman_Optics_NYGM_3.0.7z with 7-Zip (recommended) or (perhaps) with WinRAR, then move the unzipped folder into your folder silenthunteriii\mods.
Finally, install the mod with JScones' ever-popular JSGME.

@Nirwana:

Thanks for reporting the problem.
You are correct about commands_de.cfg. I forgot to add a tiny change to this file when copying from the commands_en.cfg file.

Use JSGME to remove your HitmanOptics mod, then open the mod's command_de.cfg file. Go to [cmd313], and change this line:
Key0=0x0D,,"enter"
To:
Key0=0x0D,c,"enter" (lower-case 'c')

Save the changed file, and reinstall the mod with JSGME. All should be OK now. (You can now fire torpedoes with CTRL-C.)

The CTRL-W command is set up correctly in commands_de.cfg, therefore your problem is probably caused by the 'Enter' key problem. 'Captain America Icons' should have no effect.

kranz

the tables have in the leftmost vertical colum the scope marks heigth (10, 20, 30....), and then the horizontal one is for mast heigth (15, 16, 17...)

Let us say that your C2 cargo mast reaches the "50" mark in your observation scope at 1,5x zoom. Since the C2 has a 23 metres mast you would first go right to the column with the "23" at the bottom, and then go up until the 50 mark in the left column. That gives you a result of 460 metres.

Something to fix ?

I have the max possible number of crew onboard and therefor most of the time crewmates in the "neutral" electric or diesel compartments. If there are more crewmembers in both compartments combined then the maximum in NYGM allowed slots per engine compartment and i issue any order which has anything to do with the depth the game fills upto 3 slots as well which are disabled by the smode. They are greyed out with a red void sign on top which doesnt prevent them getting tired if i dont move them out. It happens already with smode 2.5 and 3.0 installed only.

I have added extra installations with multish3 using downloads from different mirrors but all of them act in the same way.

I havnt noticed this til i replaced OLC2 special with hitmans optics mod and the default settings of NYGM regarding subs were restored.

Hello!
Recently been enjoying NYGM 3.0 for the past few weeks and have a couple of questions re the mod;
I have come across some ships which cannot be hit either by gunfire or torpedoes - in the latter case they go right through the hull without exploding. As an example I attacked a convoy of tankers earlier today, and I took some time to identify said ships for the purpose of sending this post....
1/ A `Medium Tanker`, with a white upper superstructure, black hull with brown keel. It had the letter `M` on the funnel, and the word `American` on the side of the hull with an american flag either side of it.
2/ `Large Tanker` with light grey upper superstructure, dark grey hull, brown keel. It has `Esso` on the funnel and the word `American` in black letters on the side of the hull with three US flag motifs visible at the bow, midships and stern.
3/ Another `Large Tanker`, identical to 2 but without the word `american` on the hull.

There is also another tanker - I think its a `large` type, which is an overall light grey in colour, texaco star on the funnel and three US flag motifs which also cannot be sunk.(Theres also a cargo ship with the same problem but I`ve yet to properly identify that one)

Anyone come across this problem at all? Is it a bug or something? Incidentally these ships are from the IAMBmerchantmod for NYGM 3.0.

Also during gameplay I have also noticed that on some occasions with an oncoming convoy in the distance, I have seen gunflashes on the horizon as if the escort ships are battling it out (against another sub?), and when I get nearer some of these escorts are burning and smoking,plus one or two of the merchants - but its usually the escorts..
I have also actually come across another submarine on one occasion (!) Its all very immersive and good to watch but I am just curious - are things like this scripted into NYGM? I only ask because I never saw anything like that in the stock game of SH3.

All in all a great mod.

Thanks

Initially i had some trouble with ghost ships of the extra ships mod as well. After reunpacking all mods with 7zip and not winrar those ghosting issues (and some others) were solved.

Regarding the burning ships if u receive a radio msg of a spotted convoy the chance is high that the report was originated from attacking AI subs. I myself never saw AI subs which tried to run they always fight the attacking escorts until they are busted.

I have not looked into the innards of that mod if you provide a link I can peek into it and give you an opinion. My recommendation would be to use NYGM 3.0 as is, the team did a suberb job of custom zoning each ship and modifying many factors in how shipping sinks. Making it a very realistic mod.

Enjoy, its a great mod.
Thank's a lot for your answer

Hi all,

Switched to NYGM from GWX few weeks ago because of weak system and in search for possibly more realism. Currently playing in the Med and I like this mod a lot. My question is in connection with radar warning tools. In NYGM (and in GWX and vanilla) when the officer reports enemy radar signal detected on the map I can see the contact line which shows the course and approximate distance. With this help I can easily close to the radar source from 25 or more kilometers which is usually a DD escorting merchants. In Aces of the Deep I only recieved the message enemy radar signal detected, no course, no distance, only the warning.

So, is it realistic at all? Did Naxos and Metox provide course and distance information? If not, is it possible to remove the these contact lines while still having contact lines for hydrophone contacts?

Fandrich

10-14-08, 06:31 AM

I have made a bit of research http://www.uboataces.com/radar-warning.shtml says: "Metox however could not differentiate between radar and non-radar signals, neither could it provide the bearing of the source of transmission." and also on a forum http://www.uboat.net/forums/read.php?20,59099,59120,quote=1 "Since no range information was available from the Metox the submarine commander had little choice but to break off battery charging and dive with an uncharged battery."
So it seems that there was neither range, nor bearing. Thus it would be nice to remove the radar warning contact lines if it is possible.
???

Well crap, filefront must of done its magic again. You will still need the following file..NYGM_Tonnage_War_V2.5_Fulon.7z, which is still available at the above link but the NYGM 3.0 file is gone. Hopefully Stiebler will see this and take a look at the issue with Filefront.

I have just returned from holiday. Sorry for any inconvenience caused to anyone who has been unable to locate NYGM 3.0. Filefront has auto-deleted the file.

I shall place a slightly updated version of NYGM 3.0 onto the Filefront/TeddyBar web page in the next couple of days.

Stiebler.

Stiebler

10-18-08, 12:15 PM

I have now placed a copy of NYGM3_1.7z (i.e. NYGM version 3.1) onto the FileFront address that can be found in my signature below.

As previously, this needs to be installed with JSGME over the last stand-alone release, NYGM 2.5 Full version (Fulon), available from the same link. Version 3.1 completely replaces versions 2.6B and 3.0. If you have them already installed, remove them with JSGME before installing new version 3.1.

This is only a minor update. Main differences between 3.0 and 3.1:
1. Re-zoned heavy bombers, so that they are a little more easily shot down.
2. Very minor changes to campaign files, command files and menu files.
3. OneLifeCrisis's excellent horizon fix now built in.
4. Hitman's excellent Optics mod 1.1 provided as an optional extra (find it in 'Documentation').
5. Slight changes to the optional Type XXIII boat for use in 1944/45. Now uses the cramped Type II boat interior as per Hitman's suggestion, not the original spacious Type XXI interior.
6. Ocean Blue's 'Final' torpedo damage mod included (NYGM previously used an earlier version).

Don't forget: if you are using Iambecomelife's optional merchant ship pack for NYGM, this needs to be overlaid with JSGME *after* you have installed NYGM 3.1.

Happy hunting,
Stiebler.

:cry: something is really f...up. Here's the story: I have several saves for version 3.0. I deleted whole game-leaving those saves. (all files in data etc, everything deleted). I installed game, patches...Then:JSGME, NYGM 2.5, NYGM 3.1, Cap. America Officer Icons, TransparenteKonsole, IABL ships, olc horizont fix and sh3 overlay bearing lines using files that worked every time with no problem. Game loaded ok BUT I cannot load my saves. After Initializing I get We apologise for errors, send/not send report, SH3.exe has done something bad. What is wrong? So I disabled IABLships, olc horizont and NYGM 3.1 and loaded 3.0 with OLC and ships-all saves work fine. I could only load naval accademy with 3.1(haven't tried single mission)So-why my saves aren't working with 3.1? Currently I'm trying to load 8th save of 4th patrol so if u tell me how to copy them somewhere I will try load game form IN base after 3rd patrol.

Stiebler

10-21-08, 02:52 AM

@Kranz:

It is only very rarely that a game saved in mid-patrol will load successfully into an update of any of the major mods (including NYGM).

You should always start a new patrol in base for every update of any major mod. I have tested this new release heavily in patrols, and there are no problems in playing version 3.1 when starting a new patrol from your normal base.

Since you can reload your saved games by the restoration of NYGM 3.0, I suggest you return to base in version 3.0, and then replace it with version 3.1. Don't forget to add the IABL-ships mod *after* NYGM 3.1. You will not need the OLC Horizon fix after NYGM 3.1 is installed, because it is already installed with 3.1 (but not with 3.0).

Good luck!
Stiebler.

Try Harbor Traffic Add-In, then IABL ShipsforNYGM3. Works for me.
You seem to have worked it out for yourself!

Rubini's 'Harbor Traffic' Add-In replaces only the campaign_SCR.mis file. Therefore it should be added *last*. However, the IABL ships Add-In does not affect the campaign_SCR.mis file, so it can be added last instead. (The IABL Add-In adds a lot of new ships without replacing other ships; it replaces the campaign_RND.mis file, and it replaces the zones.cfg file.)

Thank you again for this great mod.

Stiebler

11-02-08, 04:28 AM

@DarkStar173rd:

No, SH3Patrol and SH3Commander don't clash, because they alter different files (deliberately).

However, there is no purpose in using both mods to achieve the same results, such as adjusting times at a U-tanker. SH3Commander requires you to exit completely from Silent Hunter III before use. SH3Patrol requires you only to exit from your patrol and return to the main menu, so it is more convenient for its particular purposes. Really, SH3Patrol is designed mainly to assist you when going to (and departing from) a U-tanker.

But I have a problem.
I finished my last duty at N23 and turn back to Bergen. It was August 1944 and I had my new XXI ship at last. But it was impossible to select it because of the “to many officers” message. I did everything to solve that problem then my carrier deleted by mistake. :damn:
I begun new carrier at 1994 in Bergen with XXI. Selection torpedoes or manage crew was no problem. However, game newer started and my pc locked. :doh:
Now, I only want to learn that if anybody has same problem for XXI like me? If it’s not, that means I have to delete all SH3 files and reload again with NYGM3.1. :yep:

It's very easy. Thank you :yep:

Sincerly yours

Maybe something is wrong with Your Basic.Cfg file from lecalization:
Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 3/Data/Cfg...
You should check the scripted line for XXI from this file [basic.Cfg]
You can open this file in the windows Notepad. Im not a GWX user, but in the stock game this is look like this:

[SUBMARINE3]
NrMinOff=4
NrMaxOff=6
NrMinPO=14
NrMaxPO=24
NrMinSeamen=26
NrMaxSeamen=34
NbVersion=1
Version0=0 ; XIX
Name0=XXI
Month0=4
Year0=1944
DaysSpentInBase=28

Four first settings is for the minimum, and maximum crew members on the boat.
You can check it, but maybe in GWX the waiting for the XXI patrol takes about 2 months, but I don't know.

I changed it acoording to your file but game was not start again. Now, it’s very clear that nobody has my problem then I decided reload to game completely. Thank you for your help and good humanity. :sunny:
Dino

150 days in base? It means You must wait 150 days in base for Your XXI patrol, or change this value by yourself.:hmm: Remember. Always make a copy of your all fine working files from the game. This is always the best option if you have some serious troubles with the game :yep:.

Stiebler

11-08-08, 02:36 AM

Troubles with the XXI?

I have retested the XXI boat in NYGM, and there are no problems with it.

I cannot understand how any legitimate message for the XXI can begin 'Too many officers', since the maximum for the XXI boat is six officers, no previous U-boat can have more than five officers, and starting a new career with an XXI boat in NYGM provides only four officers, until you add more at base.

Something is seriously wrong with the files of those who complain of this problem.

I'd advise reinstalling SH3, patch 1.4b, NYGM 2.5 and NYGM 3.1, and starting all over again. Don't add any other mods, from any source, until you have confirmed that the XXI single mission works properly for you.

Stiebler.

11-17-08, 03:29 PM

Yes Mr. Steibler, you are definitely right. I delete SH3 completely and reload again. No problem now. But l believe that some mods have side effect like antibiotics. For example, I could select XXI ship at the beginning of my new career in jan. 1943 (but it never played.) Secondly, I count 14-15 destroyers for only one convoy. Third, I spent more than 150 days at the port. That means my game moved quickly to the end.
I reload SH3 and NYGM again. Now, I can’t select XXI ship for my new career, I spent 28 days at the port and only 4-6 destroyers for a convoy.
Thank you for your helping and forgive that little dinosaur for his problems. :oops:

Hello Uber Gruber

I use Water Stream mod with NYGM 3.1, and it works very well.
I took all the .dat files of this mod.
I did changes in .val files of NYGM 3.1 according to the "Readme" of Water Stream mod. (with S3D)
Finally, I deleted all the .sim files.I use Lutzow Music Mod Vol. 2 (i use already Vol. 4 in GWX) without problem too.

The Transparent Dials Bar from Sale, without the changes in dials, works well too: In open see view (or inside Uboot) you have more visual space.

You can use any uniform mod, any Uboot skin mod, IMHO.

New depth gauges, thanks to Thomsen, going after 260 m. (I change the NYGM files, in the way Thomsen did because I don’t know if the original mod is compatible).

Redwine's Shell trace, according to the instructions of Redwine in the "readme": always NYGM files in the base and tweak according instructions.

No problems after all that in the loading time, remaining the faster supermod ever seeing.:rock:

I will use the new concept for ships “à la Thomsen” in the base of NYGM 3.1 ship files and following the instructions he gives. I can’t report something for the moment.

I need to say “Thank you” to NYGM people for this experience. More specifically to mister Stiebler for all he offer to the community, even reports in a scientific/comprehensible basis.

I can’t make public the Water Stream mod for NYGM 3.1 because I have not permission from Rubini The Great (I didn’t ask).

Hope you understand my English…:roll:

Hi NGT, many thanks for your replies. I managed to merge water stream and exhaust smoke with various other mods so I may have a go with NYGM as well. I will also spend some time looking at OLC2 to see if I can integrate that.

Its a shame more modders don't consider porting their work to NYGM as its obviously very popular. oh well, each to their own I suppose.

At the end of the day, I'm just gratefull NYGM still has the support and backing from some really talented individuals. :up:

Hitman

11-20-08, 02:56 PM

2. OLC2
3. Maybe thomsen's water mod

OLC stated in this same topic some pages ago that such compatibility was not to be taken as granted. Specially certain things like waves amplitude and its effects in covering the snorkel would probably be wrong, and you must remember that the AI sensors are overwritten also.

That said, I have conducted two war patrols in NYGM using OLC2 in 1941, and the results were pretty satisfactory, the visual sensor works much to my liking, even may be more than the original NYGM one (Admittingly because it seems to make life a bit easier -not much, but enough to give me as poor Kaleun a chance-) :hmm:

Uber Gruber

11-21-08, 09:14 AM

Thanks Hitman for the feedback. I'll look into OLC2's changes this weekend to see if I can guage their effects.

I have to say, the NYGM experience is pretty damn cool...its great to return to it after 6 months of absence.

@Balto63:

You should be able to use any U-boat skins as replacements for those supplied with NYGM. Be sure to add the new skin(s) via JSGME, so that you can easily remove it/them again. Why not try it and let us know whether you have success?

General:

My thanks to other users who are answering questions in this thread. It always helps, since often I don't know the answers myself!

But could I suggest very strongly to those using mods not authorized by NYGM, that they apply them with JSGME? Altering original files is certain to cause difficulties in the end. JSGME will not reinstate original files over original files that have been altered in the silenthunteriii\data folder (a deliberate decision by JScones to protect users' new changes from suddenly being overwritten accidentally).

the problem is not new to me but it happened so early for the first time, that is why I decided to ask here: sometimes I got no warning of incoming planes. TC reduces to 8 and I got bombed etc. I have an officer, 2 petty-officers with watch spec. and two sailors(all about 95% of efficiency) and it happens even with TC 32.Sometimes I get message-cannot say how often in per cent-and sometimes only the tc falls to 8(strange coz I've set it to 1x in SH3 commander for enemy planes)The question is:is it a bug, or the matter of a watch officer or has been done on purpose-coz not every single plane could be spotted by the watch ?

I recently reinstalled SHIII after a long absence. Admittedly I decided to try GWX this go round (I was a dedicated NYGM from the word go). GWX is a great mod, well put together but after sinking an armed trawler with my AA guns (I was just messing around) I decided to go back to NYGM.

Quick observation: I witnessed an air attack on my base as I was leaving and basically submerged so I can watch the carnage unfold using external view in relative safety. I noticed the Heavy Bombers (B-24's), once dropping their bombs, stayed around and strafed targets until all of the targets were gone. I'm actually more of a WWII air war buff than submariner and that behavior is sort of unrealistic. Granted the B-24's would also probably be at 17,000 ft or more but that's a constraint of the sim.

Great mod though. I'm glad to be back so to speak. :)

edit: I peeked into some of the a/c files and noticed that there are "level bombers" included in the sim. So maybe those were meant for me and not a scripted air attack on the base! I've since tweaked the number of air attacks down a bit so I get (on average) one or two attacks/sighting every few days. With occasional multiple attack/sightings in one day.

The problems you both describe are hard-coded in SH3, and cannot be altered.

The air-attacks without warning could have many causes, but try rolling back SH3Commander and any other mods not supplied by NYGM to see if that improves matters.

Mikhayl's funnel-smoke mod, adapting von Hesse's earlier effort, functions very well with NYGM 3.1 (I have now tested it), and makes it easier to detect those old coal-steamers.

The link for Mikhayl's thread is here:

I'd have one request for any future update of NYGM: If possible, it would be great to have the large slide out compass by FLBSale999 on the right side of the screen like GWX already has. When using manual targeting, precision to read course and make course changes is essential, and nothing allows it like a larger compass rose. The other enlarged dials (Speed, telegraph, depth, etc,) are not that important, but the compass is a MUST. :up:

Nedlam

12-16-08, 10:43 AM

Your mod is great weather chenge :rock: :rock: :rock: from sun to rain from rain to overcast and so on, really beautiful.
Seconded, I was having problems with weather using another mod. One month of 15 m/s winds basically changing direction and varying states of visibility and cloud cover/rain. Damn near impossible to conduct a patrol. So far, in a patrol I've been using to get use to the NYGM again The sea/weather states seem natural. The weather started taking a turn for the worse. Then I had seven days of the worst weather imaginable in SHIII that gradually changed back to calmer weather. Maybe I just got 'lucky' but I like it.

Oh and it being the Christmas season and all and adding too the wish list started by Hitman... I'd like to see the Seabed repair mod included. It might be beyond my modding skills to attempt to impliment it myself.

Much love Stiebler and the rest of the NYGM team! :up:

Have to agree with Hitman on that one, a large compass would be very handy.

Stiebler

12-28-08, 01:35 PM

@Hitman, Uber Gruber:

The large compass dial can already be downloaded from my signature at Filefront as the 'Six-dials' simulation by FLBSale999.

However, it is true that this mod makes extra changes also, which you may not want.

Therefore, I have added the large compass to my current experimental version of NYGM, after some hours (!) of study of the six-dials mod. The new compass now works well, and I have also added it to Hitman's 'Optics' mod 1.1. Both these will be available in due course for a future NYGM 3.2.

@Dani:

Re: NYGM 3.2:

It is getting harder and harder to find/invent anything new worth adding to NYGM.

So we're talking about the new compass, mentioned above, a small handful of other minor improvements; also Mikhayl's new smoke for coal-burning merchants, and a selection of other additions from Mikhayl, which I am evaluating now. These include higher-resolution external details for the U-boats, so will probably be available as an optional extra.
Hitman's Optics 1.1 Mod will also be bundled as an optional extra. I like it very much, and use it all the time now.

I shall probably make this release quite soon, just for the benefit of those who need the new compass.

a few questions:

1.I'm playing 100% realism with wazoo "wheel method"-range+bearing 2x connected with 3rd line to get course etc. and I use bearing overlay 3.0 in navi map to mark it.Is there sth newer than it? What do you guys use? The problem with this "mod" is insufficient precision at close distances.
2. I'm trying to put Das Boot Officer Icons on ver.3.1(and earlier-always failed).Pls take a look at screenshot. Thats my crew before docking, then I install mentioned mod and I get every face substitued EXCEPT this guy who is sitting in WP station. Every time, no matter where the is, he remains unchanged. Any clues?The mod was made by "(c) tikila".

@Stiebler
I turned off SH3 commander and I think that solved the problem of not being warned of incoming planes.

The problem is that all the mods I had/have are listed below:

NYGM 3.1(happened too with 2.6)
nygm 2.5
Transparente Konsole and Capt.America Off.Icons. That's whole list. Now I use hitman's optics, additional merchants+smoke for coal but the plane problem appeared before I've installed them so if you are refering to any mods this could only be those four above.

This might have been mentioned before (sorry if it has already) but there is a mod out there that lets you sit on the ocean floor and not take damage. That might be a nice addition to the realism aspect of NYGM. I'm worried if I install it it will screw up the damage mod you implimented in NYGM. I thought of going through it and see if I can tweak it but I think it's beyond my modder abilities.

Also, did I miss the fatigue model that can be used with Sub Commander? I created a fatigue model myself for NYGM following the steps in the Sub Commander instructions. I'm worried I broke the morale portion of the fatigue model again.

Love this mod. I've know I've said it before but thanks for all the work!

@ itman
You need to put crew in the compartments to fix them I think the only places the damage control team fixes now are the bridge, the forward crew compartment, flak guns and deck gun casing. It might take awhile even for minor damage. NYGM damage takes a lot longer to repair than the stock version I believe.

Speaking of damage. I'm guessing that all of the extra submarine systems located in the bridge section (dive planes, torpedo tubes, etc) are there to simulate having to go outside of the sub to fix?

Another little suggestion for future NYGM installs: It seems that some users don't notice that in the folder "documentation" NYGM ships a series of optional mods. Moving them to a "Mods" folder that places them directly in the JGSME mods folder and makes them visible when initiating the tool would probably be a good idea.

so I followed his advice and said what happened after that. I am NOT "pinning" any malfunctions that happen in game to your software. Ok-I agree-I should have posted this last one checking this only once. But-would I regard you program as crap and still tried to use?No. I'm just trying to find a solution and sometimes I post sth in regard to what I saw in game. That was an answer to that guy who could repair compartment etc-but I was using sh3 commander for several patrols and did NOT complain-I just have no idea why it doesn't work now. I mean whole game-not sh3 commander.

yeah, I know I'm a pain in the ass but I'm only trying to get everything perfect. So the question is:are there any known issues with Default Action set for certain event-like air attack etc? I depart let's say on 16 April 1940, I go near Hull and those minefields there and I'm attacked by a plane. Message appears, I set Go to Scope depth and set as Default. After some time(sth like 5-7 days) after I'm attacked the Default Action is not performed even after reseting it in options. I was installing IABL ships and minor graphic mod while in port between patrols so maybe this has sth do do with it?

I have uploaded new .cfg files for the benefit of those who use SH3Commander with NYGM. The files should be installed into the \cfg folder of SH3Commander, *not* into the \cfg folder of SilentHunteriii\data.

These new files make available the new facility in SH3Commander 3.2 to generate random ship tonnages and names after each patrol.

Thanks to Jaesen for letting me have a trial version of SH3Commander 3.2, and special thanks to Sailor Steve for his laborious work in providing unique ship names for all the ships generally, but especially for the ships of IABL's 'New Merchant Fleet' already provided with NYGM 3.1.

I have newly downloaded an update to NYGM, version 3.2, to FileFront. The file has the .7z extension, and can be extracted with 7-Zip (or WinRAR, if a recent version).

This new patch needs to be installed over the full stand-alone version, NYGM 2.5 'Fulon', available from the same site. The new patch completely replaces all previous patches, including NYGM 2.6B, 3.0 and 3.1. It will cause no harm to install NYGM 3.2 over the older patches, but your computer will be cleaner if you un-install these older patches first (assuming you used JSGME to install them in the first place). Then install NYGM 3.2 with JSGME.

New users:
1. Create a clean installation of Silent Hunter 3 and patch 1.4b. Then create a folder 'silenthunteriii\mods.
2. Download NYGM 2.5 Standalone (Fulon) version and unzip it into your new \mods folder. Then install it with JSGME.
3. Download and unzip NYGM 3.2 patch into the \mods folder and install with JSGME.
3. (Optional) Download and install IABLShips_NYGM3 with JSGME. This adds NYGM's version of IamBecomeLife's 'New Merchant Fleet' and a new campaign file.

There is very little new in this release, because it is now becoming hard to find anything interesting to add. However, some people require the new compass to aid manual targetting, hence this premature release.

New items (as well as minor tweaks):
1. Updated equipment upgrade chart (upgradeschart.tga) for use when equipping the U-boat at base.
2. Hitman's easy-to-read new compass as a pull-out item from the right hand of the screen.
3. Latest version of Hitman's optics mod for NYGM. Essential for manual targetting, and excellent even if you cheat by using the weapon's officer to set the dials! When installed (optional), this mod has also the pull-out compass.
4. Merchant smoke made much denser for coal-fired merchant ships (Mikhayl). This mod has also been added to some of the IABL ships, so that the IABLShips_NYGM3 file has been updated too. (Therefore users already possessing IABL's new merchant fleet will have to download it again if they want the smoke improvement.)
5. NYGM updates for SH3Commander, as described in my earlier post.

Optional Extra: Mikhayl's High-Res U-boats mod for NYGM.
This is a very large file, and therefore is included as an optional download from the FileFront site. It adds a lot of detail to individual U-boats, and I have tested it thoroughly.
Because this file is so large, and takes a long time to upload to FileFront, I would suggest that all potential users should download this mod *quickly*, before Filefront decides to delete it. Unzip and install it as described for the NYGM 3.2 patch. This patch should be the last mod added of the four mentioned (NYGM 2.5 1st, NYGM 3.2 2nd, IABL ships 3rd, High-Res U-boats 4th).

A manual describing these and all earlier changes made since version 2.5 is included as an Acrobat PDF file in folder 'documentation' supplied with the NYGM 3.2 patch.

All these mods can be obtained by clicking on the NYGM FileFront link below.

Great to have 3.2 out! :up:

Irish,

form what I see in the list, it shouldn't matter because my optics mod will only interfere with other mods that change the menu.ini, and none of those listed in the new items will. In any case, when you enable them via JGSME you will be warned if there is a conflict or not. In that case, the file/mod you install last will obviously prevail.

Stiebler

02-21-09, 07:59 AM

Hitman is right, you can add the Optics mod last.

You can add other optional mods in the 'Documentation' folder of NYGM 3.2 in any convenient order.

You can also add Hitman's 'U-505 compass' (see current thread) as an optional extra after you have installed the Optics mod.

If you don't have NYGM yet, you just need to download and install over a clean copy of SH3 patched to 1.4, the following:

First, the main NYGM install:

http://files.filefront.com/NYGM+Tonnage+War+V25+Fulon7z/;10063652;/fileinfo.html

Second, the latest patch (3.2):

Optionally (Not required but nice to have):

Hi-res U-Boats:

IABL Merchants:

http://files.filefront.com/IABLShips+NYGM37z/;13329681;/fileinfo.html

Once you have installed that, you just start JGSME and enable the mod that includes the Type XXIII, which is the one called "FuMB37XXIIINYGM"

Happy hunting :salute:

Stiebler

02-25-09, 04:33 AM

@USS Sea Tiger:

If in 1945 you have only the 11th flotilla in Norway and the 33rd in Germany, then for some reason the FuMB37XXIIINYGM mod is not installed properly.

Go to JSGME and check you have loaded it. If it appears that you have, then probably you have created nested folders in your silenthunteriii\mods folder (to which you should have copied the FuMB37XXIIINYGM mod). If this mod is in the correct place, check in Windows Explorer that you have the file structure silenthunteriii\mods\FuMB37XXIIINYGM\data\... correctly set up.

Once all this is correct, reload the FuMB37XXIIINYGM mod with JSGME.
(You will have to start a new career after making these changes.)

Good luck!

Hitman has newly provided a revised and improved version of his improved Optics mod, which is even better than the previous. (So strongly recommended to all players!)

Selection of torpedoes from the observation periscope now works as well as with the attack periscope.

The only residual problem, which appears to be due to the original hard code, is that the salvoes may be wrongly numbered for the types VII and II boats (the problem is negligible with the VII boats) when using either periscope. The TDC gives identical function for the salvoes to the original.

I've tested this mod thoroughly with NYGM 3.2, and it *replaces* the earlier Hitman Optics mod found in the documentation folder for NYGM 3.2. The new mod is called Hitman_Optics_NYGM_3.2.7z. Download it from my signature below, unzip it with 7-zip or with recent versions of WinRAR into your silenthunteriii\mods folder, then install with JSGME.

Great work by Hitman. To say it again - every user of NYGM should install this mod even if you prefer to continue with aid from the weapons officer when targetting ships.

Does anyone know if there is a version of the Longer Repair Times mod which is compatible with the latest NYGM? Maybe an older version of the LRT mod?

There is a do it yourself version. Its not hard to do. This is a good alternative because all mods use specific files. This manual shows what you need to edit to make repairs average around 20 minutes. Its the LittleLongerRepairMod Link is below:

EDIT- I have since learned this uber mod doesn't need Longer repair times as repairs are handled differently and as a result already take longer.

I installed the NYGM3.2 mod. Looking good! My thanks to the mod team. Looking forward to dodging DC attacks :yeah:

The more I play this, the more I like it. :yeah: One of the biggest differences is the waves are not as large when the wind reaches 15mps. As a result I have less torpedoes breech the waves under these conditions and am able to successfully hit targets by running the fish at a depth of 4.2m

In other mods I have had torps set at a depth of 6.5m breech. So this mod is actually playable in 15mps winds.

Am going to try out the anti-humming bird mod for this in my next mission.

IIRC it's already part of the mod. The separate download is for those who want to use it with stock Sh3 :hmmm:

Ok. My IIA kept wanting to breech at Periscope depth if I was at 0 kts. I never tried the VIIb before I added the humming bird mod. Adding the mod didn't seem to hurt anything but I guess I can remove it. I installed through JGME so not a problem. Thanks for the info.:up:

Did the mod turned of the ability to quickly send crew to stations when pressing one of the quick selection boxes under the crew-compartment display?

I have to manually drag the crew to man the deck crew. Never tried the flak gun as I always dive when I spot planes. Its likely the same. I'm just a player so my opinion is unofficial. I would have to say, yes you have to manually man the stations, except for the watch crew. It may or may not be by design as a lot of stuff had to be changed to get some of the realism in the crew. Repairing is all done differently also. Personally I like to have to manually man the gun. Its actually more realistic to put one guy in there at a time as in real life it did not happen instantly. Except for the first 2 or 3 rounds, all the shells were passed up through the conning tower.

Man deck gun & man AA gun orders put gunners in their site. :yep:

Ahoy fellow Kaleuns!

I just dropped by to say hello and thank you for all the hard work that made NYGM into what it is today. Ever since the RuB times I have been an avid fan of this package for its campaign improvements and no-compromise approach to realism (at least within the boundaries of the SH3 engine).

cheers,

Am i missing something or has the 3.0 and 3.2 versions gone? I can only find the NYGM V25 Fulon7z version on the link in Stiebler's posts?

Slightly confussed.

Stiebler

05-31-09, 10:35 AM

Filefront had deleted several files.

I have reinstated the most important ones.

Specificially, you can download NYGM version 3.2 again. Click on my signature.

I'm having trouble with the download from Filefront. When I unzip the files, it informs me a number are corrupt. Could this be Filefront hosting badly or my computer being unhappy?

I'm really excited to try this mod.

I see the same as Andrakis, downloaded V2.5_Fulon from FF and number of files are reported as corrupted, I use 7zip 4.62.

I see the same as Andrakis, downloaded V2.5_Fulon from FF and number of files are reported as corrupted, I use 7zip 4.62.
I suspect Filefront crippled the download.
I have downloaded it three times and when extracting with WinRar 3.51 a message always popped up telling 1401 files were damaged.

If this is the case, I would like to ask Stiebler if he possibly could reupload the V2.5_Fulon file.

Stiebler

06-25-09, 03:37 AM

I have checked the Filefront site, and agree that the NYGM 2.5 Fulon version has somehow become corrupted, although it still contains exactly the same number of bytes as the original version.

Therefore I have reloaded NYGM 2.5 Fulon to FileFront. I have also verified that all files on the Filefront account are identical to those which I uploaded originally.

It took me half an hour to download the NYGM 2.5 Fulon version with a supposed 10 Mb/s broadband connection. I think the new owner may be capping download speeds - alternatively there is a lot of very heavy traffic on the line these days.

Can a periscope and snorkle wake be implemented in NYGM. It's a realistic feature and adds a lot to the immersion aspect of the game. Can this be done?

Firstly, thank you Stiebler and Co for making this mod, I think its brilliant. ;)

Now for my noobish question: I have searched all over for the "HiRes Submarines mod" made by Mikhayl . I saw someone mentioning it earlier in this thread and also in the NYGM 3.2 Manual as an "Optional Extra", however I cant seem to find it at all, and the one d/l link I did find was dead. :cry:

I would very much appreciate it if someone could help me find it, or atleast point me in the right direction, or is there something similar compatible with NYGM? <3

By kind permission of Neal Stevens (owner of SubSim), the NYGM supermod is now available from this link:

http://www.subsim.com/mods1/nygm/

Alternatively, click on my signature, below.

This is after continued difficulties with the FileFront web-site.

There are several NYGM manuals, since each new release has its own additional features. They are all collected together in the documentation folders for:
1. the NYGM 2.5 stand-alone version (the largest manual);
2. the NYGM 3.2 additional overlay.

I have loaded via jsgme in the advised order nygm2.5,nygm3.0,ect but when I load the game it comes up on the loading\menu screen as nygm 2.5, whats wrong

Hitman

07-07-09, 03:02 PM

Seems that somehow the versions after 2.5 didn't install properly. At first guess, check that you don't have an extra sub-folder in the 3.2 update. There must be in JGSME mods folder a folder for NYGM 3.2 -whose name you wills ee in the list when you start the tool- and then inside it already the data and other subfolders, NOT another NYGM 3.2 folder, or whatever similar.

Another way to check it: When you enable the mod while looking inside the SH3 folder, you shouldn't see NEW folders appearing, copied by JGSME.

Thanks, thats what it was , an extra file

Many thanks for your help with Rickster1, Hitman, while I was away.

It seems that many people have difficulty in opening 7-zip files (.7z extender) with WinRAR. When you open, for example, NYGM3_2.7z in your silenthunteriii\mods folder with 7-zip, you should get the file structure:
silenthunteriii\mods\NYGM3_2\data\etc.

It seems that (for many users) if you open the same file with WinRAR, you get this file structure:
silenthunteriii\mods\NYGM3_2\NYGM3_2\data\etc (double NYGM3_2 folders).
You need to move everything in the data folder NYGM3_2\NYGM3_2\data\etc into the first NYGM3_2 folder, to give silenthunteriii\mods\NYGM3_2\data\etc as shown above.

I hope that what I have written is clear!

This release is little more than a patch for NYGM 3.2. Download it from my signature below.

It fixes the radar-warning receiver range problem for Metox and Tunis, which had caused some problems causing aircraft to crash unexpectedly. (Sensors.dat)

It makes small adjustments to visual detection ranges to complement OLC’s Horizon Fix, already included with NYGM 3.2. (AI_Sensors.dat and Sensors.dat)

The robustness of aircraft in NYGM has been substantially altered, so that they are no longer almost bullet-proof. The Liberator bomber now carries guns only fore and aft, and not in dorsal, ventral and middle positions; in real life they were removed to save weight and increase aircraft range over the ocean. (Zones.cfg and sim files for some aircraft.)

Diving times of some U-boats have been made more accurate.

The 7th Flotilla now moves to Bergen after leaving France (suggestion of ‘U 768’), and a minor fix to the Bergen base in the FuMB37 optional mod made (‘Silentway’).

The FuMB37XXIIINYGM Mod, which contains a schnorchel radar search receiver and also a playable Type XXIII ‘electric’ U-boat has had to be updated to reflect these changes, and is therefore included again in full in folder ‘documentation’. It should be moved to your silenthunteriii\mods folder and installed with JSGME in or after October 1944.

ORDER OF INSTALLATION OF NYGM MODS:
1. Onto a clean install of Silent Hunter III patched with 1.4c, install NYGM 2.5 full version, using JSGME.
2. Then install NYGM 3.2 with JSGME.
3. If desired, install IABL’s merchant ship mod with JSGME.
4. If desired, install Mikhayl’s NYGM Hi-Res submarines with JSGME.
5. If desired, install Hitman’s Optics mod with JSGME.
6. Finally, install the NYGM 3.3 patch with JSGME.

The 3.3 patch MUST be installed LAST! (However the FuMB37XXIIINYGM mod can be installed as #7 in October 1944.)

Happy hunting!

Stiebler.

@bojan811:

The I/T switch is not intended to function in NYGM, to give the effect of unreliable torpedoes.

If you are launching stock SH3 then:
Either you have two installations of SH3, and SH3Commander is pointing to the wrong version;
Or you have not installed NYGM, although you think you have. (Installed to a wrong folder, perhaps?)

Omg , ok i did not look that way for the torpedos.So how to aim under keel or on it?Wich pistol is then in use?

I have 4 instalations of sh3 and 3 instals of sh3 commander.
gwx and wac mod work just fine with sh3commander , but nygm mod is not.

I instaled sh3comm in the folder named ubisoft nygm (it worked just fine for the previous 2 mods listed above), i than added those files in the folder of sh3comm like you sad "File (7) contains the latest files for NYGM, to be installed with JScones' popular SH3Commander mod. Full instructions provided with file (7). But you must have SH3Commander installed for these files to serve any purpose, and the files should be installed in the SH3Commander folder as stated in their documentation. (Optional.) " but i still can run sh3comm with nygm.

Having received new, improved files for the Type XXIII U-boat by a modder who wishes to remain anonymous, I have added these files to the existing NYGM3_3 mod available by clicking on my signature.

This has provided the opportunity to move the bases of Lorient and Penang to more suitable positions; Lorient to the ocean edge so it is no longer necessary to spend 10 minutes simply on sailing slowly down river, and Penang from Malaya onto Penang island.

I have also fixed the Ascension Island airbase so that it works. It had a depth of 4 feet in the campaign_LND.mis file, and was therefore buried about 400 feet under a mountain! This was never apparent in SH3 Mission Editor, since it automatically moves all airbases and other land objects to the top of the nearest land and shows the corrected value instead.

Anyone who has already installed the NYGM3_3 patch should un-install it, download the replacement (also called NYGM3_3.7z, but creates a folder NYGM3_3A instead), and install the replacement with JSGME.

Stiebler.
