M.E.G 1.0 - Mas Edition Grupsom 1.0

Hi everybody
I open this topic because today THE BASE OF GRUPSOM finished this big work.
In these months we were working to a big project our target was to take the best graphics and sounds mod and with all make a big pack were all mods work togheter ;
So now we made this pack we call
M.E.G - Mas Edition Grupsom
We have tried before SH3 with GWX3.0 and then we tried SH3 with only our big pack .Much people tell us that this work is so good because you can have the same effects but without slowdown and the time for load a mission when you play on line is so quick .
in this big project a lot of people helped me

M.E.G 2.0- ICE - Mas Edition Grupsom 2.0


Greetings to all commanders SH3!I'll be back to write in this thread to announce the release of MEG 2.0 - ICE
In this new version called MEG2.0 the team grupsom with the cooperation and assistance of numerous foreign modders made several changes that have improved graphics and sound effects:
- New intro
- New map
- New graphics of explosions, effects 3d damage,
- The exhibition of natural sea ripples
- New more realistic wake of ships and submarines
- Added new definition of land and the seabed,
- Added new definition of the sky at sunset with reflections
- Real storm with thunder and lightning
- Opening Bulkheads, now from the maneuvering room you open the door and see the room and Sonar Radio
- Added new sound effects associated with the effects of graphic
- Added new texture for Binoculars Iceberg, Uniform and Dirty Faces
- Added Duilio boat and boat St. George
- Added a new camera outside the bridge is moving along U-BOOT

but still keep the game fluid and fast loading especially for the game on-line
After the great success of MEG1.0 and the number of contacts I have received grupsomteam chose to further develop this project. So we hope that all this can be enjoyable as last time.
If you have suggestions or problems, any master can write on this thread or pm.
For installation
first you must install
SH3
+ Patch 1.4emea
+ MEG1.0
+ MEG2.0-ice

remember that even for the meg2.0 as meg1.0 will be installed after unpacking the archive of data, it must be copied and pasted in the SH3 datafile without using the jsgme!


The Grupsom-team want to thank all the modders who have contributed to the development of MEG2.0 . Here are their names:

[Lanzfeld]

So is this a graphics upgrade to use without GWX 3.0???

[Desga]

Yes you can use without GWX 3.0 and people tell me that result is similar!!:lol:

[nikbear]

Looks great,but sadly I don't read/speak any Italian:doh::oops:Is there an english translation of the website?;)

[Awful Smutje]

Read the red lines. ;)

[Desga]

yes I traslate all in english
Take the MEG's link you will go on web site of grupsom...here you will read my translation in english that I write with red colour.

FOR ALL PEOPLE IF YOU WILL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS YOU CAN WRITE IN THIS TOPIC AND I WILL REPLY !!

[FIREWALL]

Soooo this works with GWX 3.0 ?

[Desga]

I make M.E.G.with many mods but I don't know if M.E.G. can works with GWX 3.0 .

because my target was make something with similar GWX3.0 's effects but more light so you can have quick loading when you play on line .
If you want you can test for me if M.E.G. works with GWX 3.0;)

[FIREWALL]

First Desga let me say what a beautiful mod. :up:

I will give it a try and post back.

[Desga]

Thank mate:up:

[Jaeger]

i think i know what will be next reaction here on subsim forum...
@desga: i will give it a try :up:

[Desga]

I hope that you will like my work and I hope that the reaction will be good !!;)

[nik112]

i d/l part 2 and ask me for password its that correct?

[Desga]

no :hmm: you have seen the videos but don't take the passwords :nope:
if you install M.E.G. you don't need a passwords you must install M.E.G. not pack 1 or 2 or 3 because MEG is the union of these 3 packs

you can download M.E.G. directly from the link that I write upstair

[magicsub2]

i wish as sure as hell this works with gwx................looks better than sh4!!!

[magicsub2]

and also can you still be in a german u boat? because they where more succesful then the italian ones.

[magicsub2]

can the moderators stickify this?

[A Very Super Market]

That's just an Italian flag on a VII, it's the same as a German one.


Anyways, the mod looks great! How much faster are the load times expected to be? My comp takes over 10 to run GWX 3.0...

[Optimus Prime]

Look very good:up: download to test it……

[Etna]

Our starting purpose was to select the best Mods and gather them in one
or more package. You'll ask why for sure !
GWX is the gretest mod ever done since simulator's history but up to my
personal opinion can be played in single mode due to extremely long times
to load it. When we play in multi it takes minimum 10 or 15 minutes to load
and so we decided for MEG.
What's MEG ? Our FC and the test team they had selected few mods in order
to be : "The best of......" . All mods selected have been tested one by one and
finally all together to verify loading times. So we assembled in 3 different packages
all those mods not so heavy to be loaded on the base of SH3 with 1.4b patch
and nothing more. I don't know if Packs they work on GWX ,we have yet tested
on it. Each package at the end reports in the duly way the credits to the modders
as we don't wont any misunderstanding : those mods they belongs to proper modder as we've only gathered "The best of...." !
All submarines are still german even if you see few italian subs appearing when
at sea. They cannot be neither handled nor manoeuvred for now.
We're looking in the future,as already done by an english team so far, to
replace type II with 2 or 3 italian subs .
Another point to be cleared : undoubtly the german subs had a great history
all over the II WW in the Atlantic but after those there were the italian ones.
And also if you see the italian flag on the top of wintergarten it must be
remembered that our sub fleet was receiving and training his men at Gdynia
on board of 6 or 7 German uboat that Germany had given to us.
So I do hope that everything will be a little bit clearer now.
All the bets and good hunting skippers.

[gordonmull]

I was drooling over those vids. Downloading now!

[Desga]

Ok mate if you have some problem you can tell me here in this topic !:yeah:

[magicsub2]

pplease test it for gwx because i only have until the new month to download it, then i get internet.

[magicsub2]

ill just download it anyway.

[Desga]

Much people is testing M.E.G. for me so when they have the results they will write in this topic:)

[magicsub2]

dosent matter because im gona try it out, nice screenies though, even the water is the right sh4 colour!

[magicsub2]

no, im sorry it dosent work for gwx 3.0.......:wah: :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah: :wah:

can you list the mods this uses?

[Desga]

OPS I AM SORRY :x
Now we know that MEG must works alone without GWX 3.0 . The only solution for the moment that you have (if you want) is make on pc two installations of SH3...so one is with GWX 3.0 and you can play alone when you are off line and The second installation with MEG you can will use when you play on line so the time for loading a mission will be more short !!:yeah:
MEG 1.0 it's only in the initial stages :DL we are working now for MEG 2.0 (next version) that will be the first upgrade we are increasing the sound and graphics effects !:rock:

[robbythesub]

I downloaded MEG (about 226mb) and installed it via jsgme to a fresh install updated to v1.4, but the game appears to be as the original- am I doing something wrong?

Thanks :arrgh!:

[Desga]

OK robbythesub
I understand your problem don't worry:yeah:



You told me that you have an installation of SH3 with only patch 1.4 ...That's great :up: but now to install M.E.G. you must DOWNLOAD it ,then you must extract the File.zip , open the folder that you created you will found the DATA file , now select and copy it and then past it in the folder of your SH3 ...the pc will ask you if you want to replace some files you must click on YES .The installation now it's ready!!:salute:

DON'T use jsgme !!

Ask me if you have some problems !!:up:

Ciao Desga

[robbythesub]

Thank you, now it works fine, and excellent graphics!

I will watch your posts for any new updates.

Cheers! :up:

[Desga]

I am :rock:Happy that now that M.E.G. works in your PC !!!

So now I can say to you GOOD HUNTING CAPTAIN robbythesub :salute:

[robbythesub]

Thanks and will look forward to your updates in future- are you going to update this mod, or make a new one? :arrgh!:

[Desga]

Hi robbythesub now the GRUPSOM's team is working for a new update the name will be MEG 2.0 it will increase the graphics and sound effects .
In our team now there's VON DOS that is developing much new units and these boats will be in MEG 2.0:up:

BIG WORKS for BIG TARGETS :rock:

[magicsub2]

so thats what i have beenn doing wrong, it might still work with gwx...................

lol i installed with jsgme

[Desga]

yes magicsub2 you can try the way that I told to robbythesub.

May be..... I don't know....... but may be that M.E.G. + GWX will work together :hmm2:

try it and after your test write here your report so all people can see it

Thank you magicsub2 :up:

[robbythesub]

Great and thanks again- the graphics are very impressive! :up:

[Desga]

....but you don't see what I'm making in these weeks:DL ....you will see ,you will see don't worry !!
you must only wait few months and MEG 2.0 will be ready!!:yeah:

[robbythesub]

Thats good news.

One thing I noticed when playing your version is that when the wind is high (15mps), the sea is not very realistic and neither is the smoke from a damaged ship- are you aware of this?

Thanks:salute:

[Desga]

robbythesub thank for your notices I know that in MEG there is something that must be improve .......... but I must ask you a thing... could you please paste in this topic some photoes of your test so for me it will be more easy see the errors and I will try to correct them?


Thank for your help
Desga

[biosthetique]

This is a great idea and it works fine. I would just like to know how to get rid of the Italian flags on U-Boat. The Italians had fine submarines and wrote the book on Special operation under water with frogmen. Then When the Italians surrendered the German were using their submarines.:salute:

[Desga]

Hi Biosthetique if you want replace the italian flag with german flag , you must open SH3 's folder than open Data then open Textures's folder and here open TNormal's folder ; you will found tex's folder and here 8 file.TGA .....The names are

7b_1_Flag_1.tga
7b_2_Flag_1.tga
7c_1_Flag_1.tga
7c_2_Flag_1.tga
9b_1_Flag_1.tga
9b_2_Flag_1.tga
9c_1_Flag_1.tga
9c_2_Flag_1.tga

if you open these files you will see the italian flag ........so if you want replace it you must have the original german flag with the same size 512 x 256...I think that you need this flag

http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/4390/7b1flag1xf2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

You must found the original file in data file in CD of silent hunter3
If you want I will give you this file that you need with e-mail (you can give me your adress in PM )

When you will have the original german flag's file you must use this file to replace all 8 tga files .......open this file and rename and save it every time with the same names of the 8 tga files remember the same size ( 512 x 256 )
Now in all subamrines you will see the german flag :up:

[biosthetique]

Grazie! :up:

[Desga]

I am here for any question:yeah:

[magicsub2]

lol im sorry, comp died and cant get it to start up, cant test it.

[bigboywooly]

Have downloaded
Will report after I get some answers from some ppl

[Desga]

Thank bigboywooly !!Try it and tell me your impressions :up:
In these days I havemuch work because we are organizing a Italian national competition so I will try Meg when the match will start !!:up:

[Jimbuna]

I am here for any question:yeah:

I'm a little confused....this is the first I've heard of this but you have me credited as having helped you.

Can you enlighten/explain to me? http://imgcash6.imageshack.us/img87/339/dunnohq4.gif

you told me good informations and now that I have ended my M.E.G. 1.0
the ADUA CLASS is inclusive in my work

Thank again:up:

Hehehe

Desga

Have you read this

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=115983

Have you asked permision to use the Adua\S class\T class and NCA_Fiume ?

[makman94]

it's starting geting boring all this noise with 'permisions' ! tell me one good reason that the author will say 'no'

ps: BBW,its not personal ...there are so many mods out there and so many add ons that to start ask permisions (from persons who probably doesn't even envolved with sh3 any more ) is somehow 'the kids ...playing'

edit: must be considered that the original author will be named

[Desga]

Don't warry is all ok!! before started this topic i asked about this problem to Hitman...is all OK !!:yeah:
And then I put in every trailers and in the first post all name's people that make the mods !!:salute:

Well excuse my ignorance but Hitman had nothing to do with the creation of those units and no one involved in them as had any request for use
And the names of those are not there on your trailers either

@ makman94

Yes it may get all very boring to those that just use
Not to those that create those units
Those units were created for use in GWX
Nothing more
Tis quite an easy task to look through the GWX manual and find out who made those models
And then ask permission
ALL are still on the forums here

Plenty of reasons an author will say no - most important is the chance for him to give a decision
Have had many refusals during construction of GWX to use external mods
They say no you dont use
Simple as

Right or wrong its their choice
What I think doesnt matter

Example

I could quite easily take ships from LSH3 and release a GWX update
The Leipzig light cruiser\Strasbourg BB and London class cruiser to name but 3
But Gerome ONLY builds for LSH now
No one else
And the reason for that is ppl taking stuff without asking and releasing as own work
So they stay where they are

Tis no secret GWX are working on GWX4
Whats to stop someone saying f**k that I cant be bothered to script all those ships
I will just take the campaign files from Op Monsun

I know it always seems its GWX bringing this up
And the reason ?
Always GWX stuff being taken
Probably because they build units etc specificly for their own use

WAC has made terrain changes so the ports look something realistic
I asked if those changes were being released for all to use
The answer
No
Unless someone makes the ports for WAC to use also then Hans will share them

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1012830&postcount=342

So you make your own changes
And live with it

the main target is to make sh3 as best as possible for all of us or am i wrong???

some day no one will play sh3 and all this will be history so if someone built something very nice but for his reasons had stop develope it ferther and a new moder take it and make an add on (also very nice ) where do you see the reason for author to say 'NO' . ( it seems... only pathetic to me and egoist)

for example (lots of them) rubini made this wonderfull mod with water streams for the subs but not for xxi .evans made an add on to rubini's mod and now the xxi have streams (i haven't see it to tell you if its nice but this is not my point).if rubini had say no ....now the xxi ....no streams and what else could that be except ...pathetic?

[makman94]

sorry desga for posting all these in your thread ,was my last words

[Etna]

Which are the reasons of these claims?
Every Modder has been duly mentioned into the credits.
Are you claiming on their behalf ? Have you received a
special proxy from any of them ?
Are you trying to arise useless flames or polemics ? Why ?
This is my question : why ?
I remember suddenly someone who can get interest from this
with its past behaviour.Am I wrong by chance ?
So pls stay with serene soul man.
There's nothing of wrong in MEG.As already told many times,
we've gathered only "The best of...." and duly mentioned the
modder. That's all.
In other way try to explain and clear what are you doing now !
KK ETNA

[magicsub2]

ok, it does not work with gwx, sorry.

i will try another way, by installing BEFORE installing gwx.

hope it works!

P.S can you tell me all the mods that where added in this package?:salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: to desga and all the people who made M.E.G tried it out in stock, but for me, stock is laggier then gwx for some reason.:doh:

Every Modder has been duly mentioned into the credits. Wrong
Are you claiming on their behalf ? Have you received a
special proxy from any of them ? Not claiming anything on anyones behalf - fact is fact - and yes have spoken to both JU88 and Ref
Are you trying to arise useless flames or polemics ? Why ? No flames from me
This is my question : why ? Because the mod has taken other peoples work with no permission asked or given and no credits
I remember suddenly someone who can get interest from this
with its past behaviour.Am I wrong by chance ? Not sure what you mean but am guessing at another mod that " gathered " most of GWX without permission
So pls stay with serene soul man. Always serene - man

KK ETNA
You may have " gathered the best "
Try asking for permission is all I am saying

Do you even know who made those units you included ?
As you havent credited ANY of them

JU88 and Ref are responsible for the Adua\T class and Sclass
Ref for the Fiume
Dont see AG124s name there either for the NPRT\NCHT or NRC

So dont tell me all are credited when obvious they are not

Dont get me wrong
The mod is ok
Just like playing stock but with a lot better enviromentals and a couple of extra ships with some new graphics ( Subs and Fiume wont ever show in campaign as not scripted anyway so only usefull from the MP side )
Sea looks good\nights are dark and ship wakes stand out very well but smoke is a lil too grey

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h22/bigboywooly/Tags/ScreenHunter_004.jpg

If users were to delete the Sea\Roster and Submarine folders would probably work with GWX
Not tried that
Just ran it in stock - yes it does JSGME in

Not sure I like the sensor work though
My crew spotted a destroyer 12KM away at night - which I sank with a shot from 12 KM away
But merchants couldnt spot me travelling flank from under 1KM

[evan82]

I must check this mod for some graphics to my game.:salute:

My crew spotted a destroyer 12KM away at night - which I sank with a shot from 12 KM away
But merchants couldnt spot me travelling flank from under 1KM
Yes bigboywooly I understand what you want say ....when we have product MEG we say MEG must be a work that all Veteran captains or young masters can be use to play on line with us and have fun .So when we discovered the work Thomsen's Water V4.0 .. we worked for a way to improve the visibility of boats ...may be that now is too light ! :hmmm:

I know that Subs and Fiume can't be show in campaign but I told you MEG is made to play on line we make a big mission pack and in this pack there are different missions with different targets so you will found in every mission different units boats or submarines !


Thank bigboywooly for your opinion:up:

[Desga]

M.E.G-2.0-ice is out ...go to the first page and after download... if you want, try it and tell me what do you think!!:yeah:

Ciao Desga

[Wolfehunter]

I have one question. Why do you have wolfehunter's and wolfehunter in credits? Are there two different wolfehunters to give credits too? :hmmm:

Is there a cloned me out there..:D

I'm confused.

By the way this mod looks great. :yeah:

[TheDarkWraith]

People still bringing up this permissions crap huh? Get off your high horses and be thankful that someone is using your mod/work. In my view giving the original author credit is all that is needed (and all that I will ever do). If you feel you haven't received credit for your work then a simple PM to the person responsible of the mod asking for your name to be added should suffice. If you don't want your work ever to be used then don't post it - keep it to yourself!
Desga keep on truckin....looks good :up:

[Alex]

In my view

You're right, mate. It's in your view, period. We respect your way of looking at things, please respect ours.
Keep modding the game, stop looking for an argument.

Respectfully,


Alex

[Desga]

Wolfehunter is my error excuse me ...only you!
thank:up:

[h.sie]

is this a combination of existing mods or are there some previously unreleased parts in it?

[Desga]

MEG 1.0 like MEG 2.0 - ice - arise from a combination of many mod found on the web. These mod are fantastic.
In MEG 2.0 ice there is just a mod created entirely by Desga and Duval and this Mod " DD-Wakemod " you will found in a new topic that I will make this evening !!

[LordNeuro"Serbia"]

Desga is there any way u will relis the sea bad mod standallone. It looks gr8. And das it will work with gwx 3.0?
And mast say u mod looks gr8. I will love too take same thing out off it and kombind it with athers mods (if i know how). Now i will just love too see theat sea bad mod as standalone and working with gwx.
Cheers

[robbythesub]

Hi Desga

Excellent work on this latest mod, I just want to change the flag from Italian to German, so will go back to the earlier message about how to do this- I assume this still applies with this update?

:up:

[Desga]

Hello Robbythesub I am happy that you like MEG 2.0
German flag for the process is always the same as reported here ...:up:

I whole-heartedly agree with this oppinion, far too much ego bounding around these forums. There are more important things in life. As long as the person acknowledges (via credits) the original modders work then that is all that is required in my book

If people feel they should be asked before someone else uses their mod then i'd rather they didn't bother modding at all.. I'd rather have a community with a healthier mentality and less mods - period.

Right, i'm off to the beach.....wahaaayyyyyyyyy:sunny:

[Alex]

@ UG : Thanks for letting us know your opinion.
Though I'm sure you'll understand that some if not most of us really poured their heart and soul into the expansion that you seem to have installed on your SH3 installation. :know:
Our team has given its best. So let's say proper crediting is appreciated. That's all, period.

Have a nice day ! :sunny: :gulp: :ping:

[makman94]

some if not most of us really poured their heart and soul into the expansion
Our team has given its best.

hello Alex, and what about the ubisoft team ? don't some of them if not all poured their heart and soul into the stock sh3 ?
BUT if they had the same way of thinking with you ....,today all that you had in your hands to play with, would be the stock sh3 and nothing more !
btw , i don't think that there is anyone,even one (including you and your team), that has installed gwx as it is ! modding never stops....

with respect to your efforts (trully)

bye

edit:to reallydeadpoet,hitman: i really believe that all this story with 'permissions' must be reconsidered .

[evan82]

Whats going on here? Is nothing wrong asking for permission, and saying "Thank You".:know:

[Hitman]

No need to discuss the whole crediting thing again; was already done long ago and the recommended etiquette stands in a sticky at the top of the forum. Everyone knows already where he and the others are, so please those who might have not read it, give it a quick read and consider acting accordingly, and those who are veterans from the question thanks you for your input but now please back to topic.

I will respect and leave all comments on the matter so far; fair to have given your opinion. But further comments deviating from the mod or feedback about it will be edited out by moderators, to prevent a hijack of the thread.

Thanks

[java`s revenge]

Thanks for this great mod !! I am downloading now.

Finally a manner to go online quick. But then you have to
await if others also have installed this mod.

I have one question. For manual targeting i do use the olc mod.
Is it possible to use it in your version and go online?

[Wolfehunter]

Wolfehunter is my error excuse me ...only you!
thank:up:No problem dude. Enjoy the skins... There for you all.:salute:

[java`s revenge]

I have played the torpedoe tutorial. It`s a great mod.
The sunshine on the sea is too blueish and i am missing
the olc mod to manual calculate. Further it`s great !
It`s great to sea the explosions and the new waves.
Also the new intro and menu screens are great.

[robbythesub]

I have the latest version of MEG running with OLC and it works fine :up:

[Duval]

You excuse me for my English, good for Test Commander Robby, thanks to all for l' appreciation of the executed job, l' objective of the M.E.G is the pleasure to play to SH3, all you is fantastic.
Duval

[robbythesub]

No problem- I personally really enjoy playing all of the variants of this game, and all work really well except WAC which I still cannot stop from crashing all the time.

Enjoy! :up:

[martes86]

It's very nice to see our italian friends making a mod... and a very nice looking one BTW.:yeah:

Cheers

[Desga]

Finally a manner to go online quick. But then you have to
await if others also have installed this mod.Well Java`s revenge really I think that you can play with all people but I think too that these people must not have a configuration so different from your ....for example if you play on line and youhave MEG2 ice and your friends has GWX3.0... the game will go in crash!
Do some tests with people that are on line and then write the results of the test here in this topic Iam happy that you like if you want.. try meg in tutorial in the exam for flak gun ...you hear the whistle of catalina that falls down as if you had it behind their backs:har:

[java`s revenge]

Desga,
I have just played online a mission. Difficulty was easy.

But I want to play manual targeting with the olc gui.
I have only the version for GWX. And with that version the game crashes.
Searched the forum for the older version but the downloadlinks
are disappeared.

Does someone have the old version for sh3/1.4 ?

[Desga]

What the first version for olc gui I know the link for OLC GUI v.126 but
I don't know if is good for you:hmmm:

[java`s revenge]

Desga,
I do have this version but that is for gwx.
Need an older one.

[Desga]

ok I will try ask tomorrow with a topic for research of this olc version .If I understand well you want a version of olc that works with only SH3 + patch 1.4 without GWX! I will try help you:up:

[java`s revenge]

Without the double mast tool, the mod works fine i find out now.
I use the 1.26 version.

[java`s revenge]

But is it only me or? Periscope depth states 9m. The uboat lies too high in
the water.

[Desga]

Sorry but how is your sea: calm or agitated?:hmmm:

[java`s revenge]

That was the second online mission. Never saw this before.
Before i knew it i was dead.

[java`s revenge]

Just played an online mission. I wanted to attack a convoy.
Before i knew it the boat was a wreck. I saw at the last moment
that the periscopedepth was 8m. That isn`t correct.
Night mission with a calm sea.

[Desga]

java I have really done many tests to see if I also had your problem but I have not found any mistake about the depth !

[java`s revenge]

Very strange,
I have only installed,

Sh3 + 1.4 patch
olc gui
and your mods.

[CapZap1970]

Desga: I just tried to d/l the second version, but it seems the file is corrupted. When I try to open the file i get the msg: "unexpected end of file"... could you please chekc if the file is OK?
Thanks a lot and congrats on this great mod! :rock:

Hey Cap you must of got a bad upload bro they were ok
when we uploaded :rotfl:

[asanovic7]

Just saw this..

It was like
:o woo.. Ok, I am pleased I contributed.. Somehow.. :woot:

So, have to say it..
Regarding "permission crap". I cannot dissagree with either "side". If someone makes a mod for a game, and someone other feels it would be cool to use several features, which would improve things, it is fair to ask people for permission to use it and credit and voila. And that should be law.. And bbw is right about that. That should be law :stare:
But, the big problem and disaster IMO is that sometimes people won't let it. People that don't let someone to use something they made.. For free.. For other people use.. For a computer game.. For something noone will ever pay them.. FOr something 200 people in ubi can do in a day, but as they are working on sh5(:rotfl:) and since there is no profit in it they won't.. As if making that mod, a free mod for everyone to download it, is a way to "personal glory" or wtf?? Or money? Or what?


If I am off topic, nevermind this :D

I am downloading now, I am just interested to see couple of things.. Like that sea and land.. Chop chop :) If I get the time..

Just one remark from pics.. Since I can see a railway from the sun, that must be thomsens water you included :rotfl:if I am not mistaken.. I remember that discussion about railways :rotfl:
Anyone knows where is that guy anyway? Did he make it to canada or wherever he was going?


Cheers!

Thing is I am pretty happy with current installation of mine with about 20-30 mods :rotfl: What can I say I am greedy..

[Steve Gad]

The MEG 3 mod is just astonishing. Each time I destroy a ship, I gasp in amazement at the explosions and desperate attempt of the crew to attract attention ( which they often do).
I played stock for a while til used to the sim, then I went GWX, and finally being a fair kind of guy I tried MEG 3. I have to say, although the onboard chatter is all lost on me (I'm sure there are tweaks, but I'm having too much fun to check) the overall immersion upgrade is fairly staggering.

There has obviously been a lot of work put into this and I won't even pretend I know its component parts, but I can say it is well worth a try and what have you to lose? I love it and congratulate the makers of this fine addition to an already brilliant sim. :up::up::up:

[Bor]

Congratulations congratulations and congratulations!! I am very new to the Silent hunter 3. I am about a month looking for small graphics mods, as my computer is very normal. A giga ram and 2ghz. With GWX was very slow and I've discovered MEG2! That's incredible. Congratulations!! Very good job! Still a bit slow in my computer. Could remove anything carpet that makes my work less ram? For example I think about removing the multiplayer carpet because currently I'm not going to play online. I want to conserve the great graphics,sky,sea,inside submarine,periscoop,graphics of the boats and the new sounds,it is very important for me too. Sorry for my english I hoop that is understandable. Felicitaciones again haha!!:yeah: A great find for me.A great work!! Excellent. Iam very happy:):) A gretings!!:salute:

[Desga]

Well, MEG was born by mixing a lot of mods ... These mods in MEG blend together, I think it's very difficult to try to eliminate someone ..
I worked 6 months to create it first meg Meg 2.0 and 1.0 after finally MEG3.0
That I think it's impossible to try to modify a singular part because there is the risk to loose some other part .... sorry but this time I do not know how to help you :cry:

[Desga]

BOR if you like MEG 2.0 you MUST try install the last

What a pity Desga friend, it is a big job:yeah:Let me call you "friend" because you've been very attentive and friendly with me. I've run out of words:o:doh:It is like a silent hunter 10!! I'm afraid for my computer will not power but I'll try and I say you. I dont know like I thank you..You are a great camarada! Thank you very much! Affectionate greetings from Bilbao!!:salute:

[Bor]

Hello Desga it is incredible. Fantastic!! My computer has power:D.Hoe is possible? It is a miracle!! :o:yep:The clocks are big. Fantastic graphics:yeah:Wat great work!!:know:

I have had a problem with the time compression but now is good.I can't, to walk into submarine.I dont know..I can to move up,down and 360 alone. I have a questions,IF you can,you help me please.

I haven't torpedo screen in action. how can I to see it?

I have read that I need a folders for change the flag. I would like the german flag. Can you help me?

I would like change too the ambience voices of submarine for german voices. I don't finde the folders.

I am very very happy for the MEG3.Alls is super incredible!!:yeah:

Thank you very much for all. Eternamemente agradecido:salute:

[Bor]

If someone has a problem of "game paused",this is the solution. Check your main.cfg file in your C:\Users\"your name here"\Documents\SH3\data\cfg and compare the TIME COMPRESSION section, with the same file in the SH3\data\Cfg\Main.cfg. Both should match. Usually what happens is the one in your documents file is missing, or incorrect. To fix just copy the good one and paste it in place of the bad one.

To me it has worked:) very happy with the MEG3 Great great work:D

[Bor]

The ambience voices of submarine is changed:)

[banryu79]

Hm. I have got MEG1 and MEG2 on my drive.
But where is the d/l-link for said MEG3 ?
In thid thread, post #117 :03:

[Succat]

Desga, why dont you update your FIRST POST here with that info?

Nobody has the time to search through the entire thread!


Yea right, someone should also update our WAC thread with new dl links! :O:

But the textures from the mod here looking good...i think i will use them somehow for GWX... :hmm2:
