Living Silent Hunter III V5 - Download – Mod’s Tool’s, Info’s and Support..

[blueduck]

done it

sorry till it doesn't work

but I noticed this

in the GWX mod there are these files lacking in the LSH3 mod
menuvariable_en
U-availability


Hello Robin40,

maybe try to rename "Menu variable_de.txt" to "Menu variable_en.txt".

Could you please send me that "U-availability" per E-Mail?
EDIT: Found the config file in the DL-Section - and it is not necessary because the correct dates are already in basic.cfg.

Ended up with the message 'Silent Hunter III has stopped working', don't know why that happened, any advice ?
Using Windows 7 (ult) with nocd

Hello The Munster,

so let's start the basics.
Which version of Win7 Ultimate do you have - 32bit/64bit?

Did you read and follow the install-instructions at our DL-section:

Hello BossMark,

yes, there is a special SH3Commander-MOD at "_LSH3_V5.1_TOOLS\SH3Commander".
So you will have to have a new SH3Commander-Installation for LSH3V5.1 with this MOD actiated.

64 Bit.
Will read the manual over the weekend and also try it on my XP gaming computer.
Have dabbled and tweaked the mods and have come to the conclusion that it will only work on my windows 7 computer without fatigue enabled.

Hi Blueduck. Do you have a EST on release of V6 I am Chopin at the bit to play it. Keep up the great work:up: LW

[Spectre-63]

Repeated problems getting the LSH5.1 patch to run. If I launch the program normally, I get a crash to desktop from ntdll.dll after a few minutes of play. If I enable 'Run as Administrator' and XPSP3 compatibility mode I get a crash upon launch from kernel.dll

In addition, I'm unable to get MultiSH3 to work...when I try and launch it, it says that filemanager.dll is in use and it's unable to patch it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Blueduck -

yes, I did. I enabled only _LSH3_V5 and _LSH3_V5.1 per the instructions and encountered the errors described on a fresh installation of SH3 with 1.4B and the widescreen patch installed.

Hi Spectre-63,

did you run the 4GB-Patch-EXE?
I guess you have W7/64 - so you do not need to do the bcdedit.

Try deactivating the WS-patch and then restart!

Yes, the exe has had the 4GB patch applied. I'll see what I can do about removing the widescreen patch. Considering that I'm on a 2560x1440 monitor, running without that could prove problematic.

Just as a test - then we can try to find the right settings for WS!

EDIT:
You will have to edit d3d9.cfg in your MODs-folder in _DX9HiResFix with an Texteditor.

Set
resX=1360
resY=768

Then enable the _DX9HiResFix and start the game.

I was wondering, why is it that you can't select any emblem but the flotilla emblems when starting a career? Also, how do you start a career anywhere else but Erprobungsstelle?

[Spectre-63]

Got it running, but ran into another oddity: during the middle of my first mission I was told to transfer to another base, but when I try and complete a transfer it says I'm transferred to base <none>

:o

[Spectre-63]

Looks like I spoke too soon....started a new career with the 7th launching out of Kiel and got a CTD before I made it out of the harbor. :(

Hello J0313,

well in our opinion a "new Kaleun" did not "deserve" to have its own emblem. You will have to have a renown of 3500 or higher to be able to get your own emblem.
When Starting in Erprobungsstelle, sink the two targets to complete the testing of your new boat and crew. Then transfer to a front-flotilla, start your first trip and when you return with a good result you will be able to get your desired emblem.

Choose another year than 1939 and there will be other flotillas available where you can start immediately.
But be aware: new u-boats will only be available at the Erprobungsstelle!
All the equipment will be available at the front-flotillas.

Blueduck

Hello Spectre-63,

this is a known issue in SH3.
When the small window pops up "New base xyz", SH3 itself still does not know your new destination base (see F8-Details).

Save and quit the game asap and reload this saved game.
Then your destination base will have changed to the new base and you can end your trip there (again see F8-Details)!

sorry to ask for this, but your report lead me to a 32bit-OS with no bcdedit done.

Any base is is good but Kiel and WHV - these are the largest harbours in game (as a base).

Unfortunately, this means I'll be unable to start in 1939. It almost acts as if there is a corrupted object in the Kiel harbor as it crashes pretty consistently part way out of the harbor.

Given my frustration level, I may simply return to stock.

I have been starting in Erprobungsstelle every time testing the Campaign. There are no target ships that I know of. I just get ordered to patrol a grid in AO and thats it. Also I am running it through SH3 Commander and even when I try and start a Campaign after 1939 in a front flotilla it doesnt give me a joice of U-boat type. The drop down menu is blank for both the type and boat number. I have installed your files for Commander per instructions and also the mod order is correct per the mod manuel.

Hi Everyone!
Tell me who knows whether this remarkable modification translated into Russian? When this issue was discussed, sorry could not find an answer or daytk show where to look.
Sorry for the bad language.

[blueduck]

Hello J0313,

your MOD-List seems to be OK.
I do not know the MODs below the LSH-List except DD_VisibleMines_V1.0 which is already included in LSH3_v5.1.

I have been starting in Erprobungsstelle every time testing the Campaign. There are no target ships that I know of. I just get ordered to patrol a grid in AO and thats it. Also I am running it through SH3 Commander and even when I try and start a Campaign after 1939 in a front flotilla it doesnt give me a joice of U-boat type. The drop down menu is blank for both the type and boat number. I have installed your files for Commander per instructions and also the mod order is correct per the mod manuel.

In fact the target-ships are there. Read the Radio-messages:
"In grid AO83, there are two target ships - 25 km east of the eastern tip of Bornholm Island."

Also, I was wondering if you had a version of EMB's torpedo tutorial in English. I would like to know how to use the targeting rings in the attack scope and the stop watch with speed lines.

Sorry, but not yet.
Maybe our translator will have some time before/after Release.

I will have to get rid of DD_visible mines then. I didnt know it was in the mod already. The new U-Boat guns just gives the deck guns and AA guns a better look in my opinion and the flags enlighten makes the flags of ships a little more visible at night. The ohers are just sound mods. Thanks for your help and grat work Blue Duck.

Hiya Guys

I have just installed your mod - thankyou very much :)

I have been watching a few tutorials, and Lets Play vids on Youtube and have noticed that there is a map which has all the place names, and close up harbours. I`m assuming this is a Mod. Can it be used with LSHv5?, and if so, does anyone know what it is called?

Ahoy mate :). I read the 5.1 manual on how to dock at supply unit but there is no such option like 'landing at XYZ' when I hit ESC.

Hi Sittingwolf,

"_LSH3_V5.1_GUI_Multi-SlideOuts" will be nearly useless, because it is overwritten by "_LSH3_V5.1_GUI_Six-Dials-Simfeeling".

Do you have "U-Tanker-Fix" enabled in h.sie OptionSelector and did you change the names of Odin and Co to U-Odin?

Cheers
Blueduck

[Sittingwolf]

Hi Blueduck,

Thanks for replying and advice.
Yes, indeed I have that "U-Tanker-Fix" enabled in h.sie OptionSelector but I messed up couple of things here cause;

A) I haven't changed names of Odin and Co to U-Odin. :D I'll do that but where should I look for them?

B) Am going to disable one of them; either "_LSH3_V5.1_GUI_Multi-SlideOuts" or "_LSH3_V5.1_GUI_Six-Dials-Simfeeling" to make things better. :)
From what you say those two guys can't go together.

Honestly, am thinking of what else I've done wrong here? :hmmm: (meaning my actual Generic Mod Enabler configuration).

Also, what's the '_LSH3_V5.1__FunkLeicht' relation to h.sie's 'BDU messages' ? Do they work together? I have them both activated and I don't know if that's alright.

Best,

Hi Sittingwolf,

open the Campaign_SCR.mis (either with MissionEditor or Win Editor) and search for Odin. You will find two (four) entries: look for tne NavalBase Odin (not for the ship!) and change the name of the NavalBase to U-Odin.

Hi rowi58,

Could you please explain in greater detail how am supposed to search for Odin? When I open sh3 MissionEditor, is it then among units that I can find it or land units if you talk about NavalBase? Am dumb here cause I have rather never done that before :D. I tried to go through manual looking for something that could help me, at least give me kinda clue but it is not stated there that thoroughly.
Cheers.

Hi Sittingwolf,

the best way is to open the Campaihn_SCR.mis file I dont know how it exacrly works in English, bur: selecz Menu <SEARCH>, type <ODIN> and you'll jump to the first entry with the name ODIN. Then search for ODIN within the Win EDITOR.

Scroll down a little bit and see what it is. If it is an UNITTYPE=102 (that means a merchant ship) search for the next entry. Until you reach the following entry: NavalBase=odin or something like that.

Change this entry into NavalBase=U-Odin and you've got your h.sie supplieship.

@ rowi58,

When I run SH3 missioneditor (I have no Win editor at all and if there is any I just simply don't see it or can't find it) there is no such option like menu <search> so am stuck. On the other hand am thinking if I have necessary tools to do that at all cause it's just simple SH3 MissionEditor, nothing else :wah:. Maybe you could tell me what tools you're using and where to download them or send me that modified file to my email address so I can replace it?.

Many thanks.

You need to use a text editor like note pad to open the .SCR file. Once you've done that then Ctrl, F and type in ODIN. Edit ODIN land base not the type 102. There are 2 entries for the ODIN land base.

Hello Sittingwolf,

[Sittingwolf]

Still no go with this supply thing. UNBELIEVABLE!!!.

First of all, to do the test am using single mission where am sailing on Type IXC. Trying to dock at the Theseus on my way to Caribbean I approached her and at the range of 1m to her I stopped my engines. Now, at speed of 0 knots, when I hit ESC, again, I have only three standard option to choose. And that's how my configuration looks now;

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157

Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)
Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1
_LSH3_V5.1__Kampagne_für_h.sie_16B1

Plus these options checked in SH3 Commander (the rest is switched off);
- simulate a realistic career length
- use historic u-boat availability dates
- set number of days spent in base (set to 21)
- use real ship names in patrol logs
- use fatigue model (for now set to RUB 1x TC)
- min 88mm deck gun reload time (set to 4)
- min 105mm deck gun reload time (set to 8).

I remember that in h.sie option selector together with Stiebler's mods I have BDU messages, U-tanker fix enabled. :hmmm:

[blueduck]

First of all, to do the test am using single mission ...

Uuups mate!
There is no docking at base or supply-ship possible in single mission!

Regards
Blueduck

[Sittingwolf]

Right!

So I know now why the whole thing is not working.
Simply cause am not going through campaign now, haha!!!! :D
But then, I can assume that this configuration is good and that would work out in the campaign right?
Well then, am going to wait for LSH6.0 before I start it.

Thank you very much guys for all the support you give :).

Hi blueduck :). Am going to do that. It's going to take a while until I report back though :):salute:.

Test completed successfully :). But not without problems.
And here's the drill and a short story of my patrol.
After leaving St Nazaire, and couple of days and nights of heading West and then northwest to get her resupplied I docked at U-Odin :up:. From that point I had upon hitting ESC and choosing to end the patrol, the two options. Continue the mission and dock at U-Odin... I handed out the medals and specialization to my man.
Then I quit the game and changed the number of days in SH3 Comdr from 21 to 1. All fine. Boat resupplied. But when I started the mission instead of having the Null patrol grid and free hunting granted I got a new one very close to the Gibraltar Strait. And one more important fact. When I left the port I had TI and TIII fish on board and after resupply I got them back. Nice :D but I read somewhere that you can get only steam torpedoes when you take them from the resupply unit?. :salute:

If you still encounter problems with your MOD-List, it surely is no good idea to activate even more MODs. Even if most of them are "just" Sound-MODs.

Concerning "_LSH3_V5.1__Kampagne_für_h.sie_16B1" and Stiebler's AddOns I do not know, if h.sie has to be activated BEFORE Stiebler.

In the case of saving a game in SH3 I guess you know the golden rules?

I didn't have a problem with a save with a VIIC, just the XXI and VIIC/42.
I really dont know why that is happening. I tried the hsie fix activated both before and after hsie add-on and It looks like it needs to be activated after. I did have a problem with the messages still though but I think you have to deactivate the improved BDU messages option in the selector and the war news. I am going to try out a VIIC alittle more and see what happens. Wouldnt it be great if there were a Silent Hunter geek squad who could come out to your house and set up everything for you, HAHA! :haha:

Okay, I have narrowed it down to the fact that it crashes after I sink a ship. I save the game then exit. Then I try and load the save and it crashes to desk top. It doesnt matter what type of sub I am using or when in the war I start. Always the same thing.

Is it a single ship and always the same type?

If it is one ship of a convoy, then the "Golden Rules of Saving the Game" may be important:
- never save in vicinity of enemy ships
- never save when you are dived
- never save when you are to close to shore

It can be a single ship or part of one of the small convoys you have running around in the Baltic. I havent even been able to get into a regular front flotilla yet. I never break any of the rules you mentioned above, I have been playing SH3 and 4 for 4 years now so I have a good handle on the do's and dont's of saving. And it isnt always the same type of ship.

Hello J0313,

you may skip the first Mission and terminate while you are in harbour.
Then transfer to a front-flotilla and continue your career there.

I actually have tried skipping the first mission and it still crashes after I sink a ship. However this was with a VIIC/42. I dont know if it will work with a VIIC or any other boat. Yes I have changed equipment while in Erprobungsstelle.

Well that is what you should NOT do!
Take the boat as it is in the Erprobungsstelle or in the front-flotilla for the first mission.
Then, when you are back after the first mission or when you transferred to the front-flotilla improve it there!

Regards

PS: It is best practise if you go back to the main menu after every transfer or improvement.

Sorry Brett but I deleted that install and the mod profile for LSH. I just decided to wait for 6. I appreciate the helping hand though.

Actually if you look at post #834 I show the order. I had forgotten about that.

[brett25]

ok maybe best to wait till version 6, however some of what you are experiencing was covered in a recent post and this mod:
TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbance_v4_0_SH3

was determined to possibly be related to the CTD after sinking a ship. Check out this post if your interested:

for question 1 yes it should be might want to look for some extra files though because many of the megamods have filed to add to SH3 commander and i cant remember if that was the case also with LSH3. As for question 2 it should be able to.

Hi Chimp

...and will The Grey Wolves mod work with this?

No, it won't work with GWX, because it is a superMOD like GWX. You need a (second) fresh virgin-like SH3 installation to run LSH.

[chimp]

Ok and thank you for replying back one last question can you refuel your sub in silent hunter 3 during patrols? sorry for being a noob I got so much to learn. :06:

[danasan]

Not in Stock SH3 version. But in the Mods like GWX, LSH 3 etc. there are ships and milk cows where you can dock at and refuel - like it was in real life.

[chimp]

Ok great I have LH3 so how would you refuel icons for base? thank you for helping :up:

[AVR4000]

I have an odd problem with LSHIII 5.1. I am unable to find enemy ships. I made two patrols around UK and the Irish Sea in 1940 and everything is empty. The harbors are empty and absolutely no traffic at all.

On the other hand, I don't notice any other problems - no CTDs etc. The training missions work normally, i.e. the ships show up. But it is a bit strange to circle around the UK and Ireland without finding a single ship and only empty harbors.

I tried to search for this problem but without success. I hope someone can help.

[blueduck]

Ok great I have LH3 so how would you refuel icons for base? thank you for helping :up:

Hello chimp,

thank your for the nice words for LSH3 - will pass them to the team!

If you have got a PQ given in the career just zoom into the map at 1000km or less and you will see where the "refuel stations" are located.

Get closer than 25km (better you have spotted the suplyer) an end your mission there - it is like ending your turn in the harbour!
You will have to give medals immediately after the exit because the bureau - barracks do not work in this case.
From there you can start a new turn.

Hello chimp,
hello desertstriker,

this is not a location issue but a known fact in SH3!

If you equip your new u-boat BEFORE you start your turn you will end up in PQ AG!
Take the new boat, do your first journey, call for a transfer to the front flotilla (if you started in Erprobungsstelle) and then take the equipment!

Oh and i chose my own grid to patrol using commander or should i have used the one it gives me ? The OA one and the commander only lets me choose the 12 flotilla is that right?. I'm so sorry for qustion im such a noob i do read the manuals but so much to take in just want to make sure i got it all right and if i get a transfer to which flotilla to choose to be at front thank for help guys.:yeah:


Hello chimp,

hey mate, now it is getting a bit difficult.


Did you activate "LSH3_V5.1_SH3_Commander_3.2" in JSGME in the SH3-Commander-Folder? Maybe you try LSH3_v5.1 without Commander first?

Next I will need a mod-list of these activated within the SH3-folder.

And very important the date when you started your career.

I did a FRESH INSTALL and it works amazing love it but can you tell me if all thos mods work together and what order please and if you know of any goods one to put in there to that be great thank you so much for your hard work do you have a donation link? :) lol thing I need to know I see peaple change time at base from 21 to 1 when Geting fuel from ships and then change back to 21 days? If I use commander and it set to 1 day already do I have to change it from 1 day? Can I keep at 1 day all thru the campain

[desertstriker]

i noticed a few conflicts with your mod profile
first off the easiest to fix the SH# commander one DOES NOT belong in the game folders ther is a aplication called SH3 commander where those files belong
now i refer to much of your activation
the env MEP ones can not be used with ATM and vise versa i refer you to http://www.lsh3.com/dl/v5/LSH3_V5.1_MOD-Activation_EN.pdf page 7

now the next error i noticed never have more than 1 sub type olc dials at any 1 time. the type IX in your case will have completely over written the type II

IIRC the bunkerstarten needs to be one of the first activated mods.

his is not a location issue but a known fact in SH3!

If you equip your new u-boat BEFORE you start your turn you will end up in PQ AG!
Take the new boat, do your first journey, call for a transfer to the front flotilla (if you started in Erprobungsstelle) and then take the equipment!

i had forgotten about that blue duck

[chimp]

Thank you desertstriker! yer I found out why I could not get commander to work if only I read the manually a bit better!:hmmm: my own fault. And about the ATM thank I did not know about the conflict between them.
and bunker will go in after v5 and v5.1 :salute: and select only one dial thank very much for helping me have you got a mod back for JGSME that I could follow a little of how things are put together that be great thank you sir!!:rock:

[desertstriker]

unfortunately i haven't run LSH3 in forever (and would need to make a mod profile for it which can take time making sure the game runs properly, and all the mods (including ones that i have not activated in a while) are on an external HDD. been using NYGM for the past 7 months and all my knowledge of LSH3 is based on memory and the documentation saved on the computer since i never can delete that kind of documentation

[chimp]

That ok thank you anyway and the help work great for me!! NYGM never heard of that one is that a super mod is there much different then this one? and Thomason sound pack 3.2 dosent work for LSH3 :) any body can tell me a good sound pack ?

Hello chimp,

JSGME in EN is not that difficult. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to your SH3-folder where SH3.exe and JSGME.exe are located and delete "JSGME.lng".

That's it

will do thank you sir

I downloaded this mod and it changed all the language in JSGME to German. Any way to correct this or undo V5.1?

[rowi58]

Start your SH3, klick on "Optionen", you'll find there 3 selections for the language. Set all to "Englisch". Save new settings and re-start SH3.

No, the problem is with JSGME, not the SH3 program. In SH3 all languages are set to English. The JSGME language is German which I can't read.

Hi, in the first post of this threat, there is a developement update regarding lsh3 V6 but its quite old, from december 2012. Are there any news?

I'm not the kind to bugger modders with such requests, but this time I'll make an exception, I'll second what Shabtai posted and just ask it this way:

I really want to start a new career in SH3. Should I wait for LSH3 V6, or should I go for the existing installment?

Thanks in advance for the answer:salute:

[blueduck]

Hello mates!

Yes, there are some news, but not enough to update the first post.

Our team-testers have entered quality-tests of the beta-files.
Our "GUI-Division" is doing the final work on Standard- and OLC-GUI in 4:3 and 16:9.
I am actually updating the additional mods like ExtendedChallenge, ATM, ...
Afterwards all the manuals will have to be done.

If all this is done, we will have reached RC1-Status.
In the meantime we will show some web-albums with the new units (air, sea, sub) maybe in this month.

Regards
Blueduck

PS: @dcb:
I think you will have enough time to finish your career bevor LSH3V6 will be released.

[biosthetique]

I am surprised there are no better definition planes.

I tried to install WB ultimate ships and aircraft mod v11.61.2, through JSGME but when I load the game I have a CDT!...

Any advice to improve the planes in LSH3_V5 and LSH3_V5.1?

[desertstriker]

did you follow the instructions from point to IE

2. IF YOU ARE NOT A GWX USER or already have a custom campaign file then you'll need to add the .mis files to your scripted campaign manually:
a. Activate USAM through JSGME.
b. Copy the 'WB's Ultimate Ship and Aircraft Mod_LND' campaign file to your desktop
c. Copy the 'WB's Ultimate Ship and Aircraft Mod_RND' campaign file to your desktop
d. Copy the 'WB's Ultimate Ship and Aircraft Mod_SCR' campaign file to your desktop
e. Find your campaign files (default location is 'C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Campaigns\Campa ign') and copy all three to your desktop. These will act as a backup in case anything goes wrong

3. Copy the USAM campaign files into your existing campaign:
a. Open SH3 Mission Editor at 'C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\Sh3MissionEditor'
b. Select 'Open (Normal Mission)' or use shortcut [Ctrl-O]
c. Open: 'C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Campaigns\Campa ign\Campaign_SCR'
d. Select 'File'
e. Select 'Merge'
f. Check the 'Mark merged data as saveable' box
g. Select 'OK'
h. Open the campaign file on your desktop
i. Select 'File'
j. Select 'Save Scripted Layer As...'
k. Save in: 'C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Campaigns\Campa ign'
l. File name 'Campaign_SCR'

4. Repeat 3a to l above, but using the _RND file.

5. Repeat 3a to l above, but using the _LND file.

[biosthetique]

Did!...must have a corrupted file or files.

[desertstriker]

that or something else is conflicting.

Hi,

I have SilentHunter III vs 1.4 and it Works faultless without DVD under Windows 7 64 Home Premium. Now I have installed Living Silent Hunter III vs 5.1, started JSGME and activated: LSH3_VS (Hauptmod) und LSH3_VS.1. and also the 4GB-Patch.
Then I tested the game, got the blue Living Silent Hunter III screen, saw the red bar doing its job and after that I chose the Single Mission “Bismarck”
Now the red bar stopped short for its end and after about 5 minutes I got a black screen with the message: “Silent Hunter does’nt work anymore”
The Faultsignature says among other things : Application: sh3.exe, vs 1.4.01. Fault module: Kernel.dll. Version: 0.0.0.0
Can anybody help me out please?

Hi Progrocker and fitzcarraldo,

actual scheduled date for release will be in December 2013.
The GUI's are nearly ready.
The manuals DE/EN still have to be written and translated.
Actually commands_en and en_help.txt have been updated.
BL!TZKR!EG is doing a great job in updating ge/en.log for all ships in the museum.

Well, oh, well... I consider this a valid proposal - after all GERMAN is ==THE== Uboat-language.

:salute:

Hi BL!TZKR!EG,
don't upset the Subsim'ers!

Of course there will be the ENGLISH language available in LSH3_v6!
Also the manuals for the main mod and for the additional mods will be available in ENGLISH.

I'm a big fan of GWX but I am interested to try LSH3.

Is the AI in LSH3 as unforgiving as it is in GWX? This is my only (personal) issue with GWX. GWX adds so much for the immersion but I'm not a great sub commander. Don't get me wrong im not looking for a super easy experience but I do want a survival chance somewhat closer to the stock AI.

Hello Pappy55,

as far as I remember GWX, the AI starts 1939 on the same high level it has in 1945.
In LSH3 the AI-Level is increasing up until 1945.

Maybe you give it a try!

Hi and thanks for a great mod. Feels easy though, already 2 pages of sinked ships in first patrol with max realism and still got bullets to spare. :arrgh!:

I ran into a problem in patrol where mission was to patrol grid AN01. I went there but game didn't understand that I had reached that grid. Orders sheet kept claiming that reaching the grid was incomplete even when I buzzed there for days.

Started a new campaign and now my mission is to patrol grid AM39. This worked fine and game realized that i had arrived in correct grid. You might want to check this out.

And a question came to mind, does the fire and burning cause more damage to the ships in this mod as it should ?

Thanks again for a excellent mod.

Hello Reisk@,

this a known issue even in SH3-Stock. There are several more PQs which "do not work correctly". They will all be eliminated in LSH3_v6.

Concerning your question if fire does more damage to the ships: No!
TDW did his MOD "TDW_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_v1_4_SH3.7z (ftp://hartmuthaas.no-ip.org/public/Sharing/SH3COMMUNITYMODS/THE%20DARK%20WRAITH/TDW_Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage_v1_4_SH3.7z)" in March 2011 and at this time LSH3_v5.1 was already released.
We had a discussion in the team about this MOD and came to the conclusion that the ship's crew will do some firefighting not to have to go into the boats.

Regards
Blueduck

[Reisk@]

Hi and thanks for the info.

Very surprising that this map bug has been here from the start. I have played vanilla and Grey wolves for years and never seen it. At the first patrol of Lsh-bang it happens. Sometimes probability works in mysterious ways.

That fire mod sounds great. It feels wrong that burning ships suffer no damage from it.

It would really be nice to see small fires likely going out by crew and larger fires possibly break into massive infernos and cause likely explosions and drive crew into the sea since fire will either get larger or die out. With or without the crew. Ammo / petrol ships and oil tankers should obviously explode totally in inferno case but in rare cases a possibility that abandoned ship just burns entirely without sinking ( Das boot scenario ) would be nice. Especially if the ship's hull is intact.

Eta is December.

[blackswan40]

The steel sharks group have been playing a sh3 campaign for six years now
the prowlers of the deep mod is now very old & dated
we tried to use our campaign files with LSH 5.1 but the ship rosters are different
so it wouldn't sing I had interesting talks with blitzkrieg & blueduck they informed
me that LSH V6 will be out in December 2013 further more the ship rosters of LSH 5.1 & LSH 6
are compatable no ships removed just more ships added so ive started rewriting our campaign with LSH 5.1
& when LSH 6 is released the Campaign files will be compatable
the Campaign will be written in the SCR lair with Convoys only having a 30 day date life so to speak eg
Convoy HX1 leaves Halifax 16/9/1939 (entry date) 16/10/1939(exit date)
cant wait to see LSH 6 even LSH 5.1 is very polished n nice

now wheres my pack of red light bulbs & my stopwatch evey time a car back fires
driving past my apartment I order full a head 30 degree dive bubble

Blackswan40 you need to get out more

what like out on patrol with LSH 6 capital idear lock n load boys

Is there any way to get around having to start a career with SH3 Commander without having to go through the training flotilla? Whenever I try and join the first or seventh flotillas, the box with the u-boat types is empty.

[desertstriker]

windows 8.1 is windows 8 but with a major upgrade. I had been doing the beta testing 8.1 and SH3 does have problems in it that. One of the issues I personally found was that save games are more likely to corrupt I also noticed an increase in CTDs not related to the corrupt game loads.

[Ping Jockey]

I have trouble loading saved games with win 8.1.:hmm2:

[blueduck]

So well.

To collect the facts:
- LSH3 (SH3) CAN be installed under Win 8.1 as desertstriker and Ping Jockey posted here.
- LSH3 (SH3) CAN be played under Win 8.1 but with restrictions (sometimes CTD)
These issues (CTD when loading a saved game, CTD in game) should be researched, because I guess all SH3 Supermods will be affected when they meet Win 8.1.

@desertstriker: maybe you could give some hints how a installation has to be done with Win 8.1
Another question concerning Win8.1: Is it still possible to use MS VPC?

Regards
Blueduck

[desertstriker]

An installation Has to be done outside the default UNLESS Steam is being used even then I highly recommend installing steam outside of the default directory. Always check permissions and I added exceptions to my AV and firewall just for SH3. Those steps seemed to help negate the CTDs.

I do not remember if MS VPC is possible I never really used it. Perhaps someone that is currently using it will know.

[SnipersHunter]

The V6 comes out this month , right?

[jakethescot]

Is there any way to get rid of the colored ships ( red, green, or blue ) that appear on the map? I'll have one appear at around 50 km when there would be no way I could see that far. I don't want to know a ship is there until I can see it or find it on sonar. And, I don't want to know what nationality it is until I can identify it's flag.

Thanks.

[blackswan40]

Hi Jake i think you can enable,disable map contact updates in sh3 game difficulty
settings hope this helps

[radcapricorn]

The ones that seem to appear on the map outside of visual range are "radio contacts". You don't get radio messages for them, but they're supposedly reported to you.

As for contact colors, there is the "Extended Challenge Black Contacts" mod (supplied with LSH).

[jakethescot]

Thank you both for the replies. I'll do what each suggested.

I do get reports on convoys being in my area, but I still don't want it showing up on the map. I want to go look for it.

[Ping Jockey]

Get CTD at times with either GWX or LSH3 loaded. This started after upgrade to Win 8.1. Normal install of SH3 runs ok. Also "SmartScreen" stops some of the files from loading. Wants to know who the publisher is? I run this on an Allenware R4 PC with 16GB of ram. Hope this helps. Have run both Mega Mods since 2010 with no problems. Have LSH3 installed in a Games folder not in default.

[Ping Jockey]

Ran Win 8.1 compatibility troubleshooter program. PC now runs LSH3 in Win XP SP3 mode. So far so good! Turned "SmartScreen" off in Action Center. Will see how this runs. Have run 6 patrols without a CTD. Have loaded saved games with no CTD.12-16-13 @ 15:22

Turned "Smart Screen" back on and haven't had a CTD for two patrols. I have to think that Win Compatibility troubleshooter fixed the problem and Smart Screen was not the bad guy after all. LSH3 runs in a Win XP SP3 mode now.

Hello friends, First Merry Christmas to all. I would like to know when they will release the 6.0 version of LSH, as I plan to mount it first with version 5.1, and if not wait. It may continue the campaign importing items from 5.1 to 6.0? I have read in a previous post that may be so. Thank you very much, and Merry Christmas.

[J0313]

So what's the progress. I thought V6 was releasing this month?

[blueduck]

Hello LSH3-Friends,

I am sorry, but I have to tell you that we will not be able to release LSH3_v6 in this year.

Some of our testers encountered a CTD when exiting SH3.
The test to find this error took us more than a week.

Therefore we will have to push the release-date into January.

Nevertheless we wish you a Happy New Year

Ahoy Blueduck the best things in life are worth waiting for and everyone who is waiting for the LSH V6 release will be all the more happier that the CTD issues have been resolved even if LSH V6 is delayed by 4-6 weeks
also gives me more time adding Convoys to the LSH V5.1 SCR Lair for the

Hi mates,

well, I guess even Harry P. could not help me/us at the moment.

I think 95% of the work is done.
But because of the reports of our testers it feels we are at 20%.
Some of their results have to be controlled by myself, which takes a lot of time.

We will keep you informed a few days before we are ready.

They will release it, as soon as they are absolutely shure, that the work is done and the MOD is flawless. Due to the complexity of this issue, currently nobody will be able to tell the exact date of release.

[blueduck]

Well Friedel,

thank for your support!!!

You are right!
We will not release ANYTHING due to "time pressure" if it is not free of any CTD - as long as we have tested it!

In fact, we still have some CTD - some due to Stock-SH3 loading of a saved game (wich will work after a second or third time) - maybe some due to the testers and even maybe concerning LSH3_v6 itself.

One Tester ist playing on W8.1 with CTD on Loading - another one with CTD on ending FF in base.
As long as we do not have a solution for these issues, we will not release!!!

So, PLEASE BEEEE patient - we will keep you informed, when these problems are solved!!!

Thank you blueduck for the update. And to the "helpful", friedl9te. When I ask for an update the only person I want to hear from is blueduck or someone closely associated with this project. Nobody yanked your chain.

[Sailor Steve]

I'll take this opportunity to ask for consideration and calm from everyone.

Also an explanation: "It will be ready when it's ready" is something of an old joke here at Subsim. It was used back when the release of SHIII was delayed for six months, when various supermods were taking seemingly forever to be released, and when other mods got put on hold for real-life commitments. Often even the modders themselves don't know for sure when everything will be ironed out, so whenever anyone asks for a release date one or another of us will usually say "When it's ready" or something to that effect.

I myself once answered such a request with "Tomorrow. If it's not here tomorrow, re-read the first sentence every day until it is here. After that this notice is no longer valid."

It's all in good fun, meant to ease the tension, not aggravate it. It wasn't meant as a put-down, and it wasn't aimed at you personally. You just happened to be the person who asked this time. You'll get used to in time. :sunny:

Hello blackswan40,

it is the well known "ConfigDate-Bug".
You will have to correct these dates by hand with an text editor!
But be careful: once you grab this unit again the date is set back to 1939 or else.

I sure hope that this delay is not because of a useless junk pile called Windows 8.

Can anyone verify how accurate the fire burning damage models will be in V6 ?

Although most of our testers have W7-PCs, W8/8.1 has to be kept in mind because nearly every new PC will have this OS.

True but quite a many switch it to older Windows very quickly. I know that many mod makers that make great mods don't even consider adding Win 8 support because of it's flaws.

It was about the fire damage model of ships that have caught fire. How accurate will the burning damage be in 6 and will the burning lead to either spreading and destruction of the ship or to extinquishion of fire by the ship's crew ?

I Do not know if we will be able to test LSH3_v6 on all our PCs with Win 8.1 but we will do even after Release.

Well,
if you think about TDW's "Ship_Plane_Fire_Damage" it is not included in LSH3_v6, because we think, that a ships crew did not want to take a bath and therefore does it's best to clear the fire(s).

I don't know anything about TDW's mentioned work, i'm just thinking about as realistic fire model as possible.

So there will be extinguishing attempts by crew i reckon. And if they fail ? Will the fire spread and blow up the ship ?

Hello Reisk@,

as far as I can say, the fire- and smoke-zones are just "eye-candy".
More important are the zones you hit under water.
So if your torpedo-explosion "accidentally" damages a "fire-zone" the ship will start burning, but if the zone below is to small, the ship will not sink.

[Reisk@]

Does this mean that there will not be any fire damage modelling in V6 ?

[jimmyjam25]

Why are you so obsessed with fire?

[Leitender]

That´s the reason why TDW created his mod. Personally, I use his mod, because it´s more realistic to have damage from fire than to have none. My observation is that every bigger fire forces the ship (i.e. merchant!) to go down. Maybe it´s a question of fine tuning.

[jakethescot]

Pretty nice. I may have to give it a try.

[Aktungbby]

Reisk@!:salute:

[Jimbuna]

Welcome Reisk :sunny:

[Reisk@]

Why are you so obsessed with fire?

Not fire but modelling of it's effects. Because it is too ridiculous to watch burning ships sailing for days and days just burning instead of exploding or fires been put out. Even old Silent Service II had this modelled, with instaexpo-fires but it still did.

Unrealism bugs me. :) Especially when the sinking model has always been so good in SH3.

As makers mentioned, the fires are mainly caused by underwater damage and pretty much only show which part of ship is leaking. Thats why so often a ship without a spark suddenly explodes into a inferno when it has sunk almost below the waves. I hope that fire damage model is more realistic in V6 and not just effects but maybe the game needs entirelly new he-ammo and ship surface structure damage modelling and that might be too much to ask. Now fires are tied very closely to underwater damage.

[blueduck]

Well Reisk@,

in our opinion the fire-damage-model is correct as it is at the moment.

Maybe some ships might have been sunken by fire because of the fright or ineffective crew.

If you want to change this for LSH3_v6 you will have to rework the zones of 300+ ships with S3D.

You are welcome if you want to do this job!

What about just trying TDW´s mod? With it, the fire will cause serious damage to the ships, be it "realistic" or not. You may read this thread:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=180920

before, to get a feeling about what the mod does. Btw, in my own tests I always used my deckgun to start any fire. I don´t know much about the zones, but I assume, the damage occured above the waterline all the time. Although, the burning ships went down. For me, it seems to be a little bit overcompensated, but no tests were down with light fire or with warships in SH3 yet. So feel free to test by yourself and to publish the results. It would be very appreciated. There´s no need to recreate existing damage / fire models or zones design or things like that. Simply enable that mod and find out if this is what you like.

Thats why so often a ship without a spark suddenly explodes into a inferno when it has sunk almost below the waves.The reason for this event is the simulation of exploding boilers, when this extremly hot parts come into contact with cold sea water. It´s no bug, it´s a feature :D

sorry for having hijacked your thread. Maybe we continue the discussion in TDW´s thread.

Ahhhh yes I see what you mean. That would be pretty cool if you could see the crew of the stricken vessel trying to put fire out with hoses and what not and then it could either overwhelm them and they abandon ship or they succeed and continue on their merry way (provided you are out of torpedos of course)...

[jimmyjam25]

I was just wondering if you have a rough idea when it will be ready? Sorry if you get asked this all the time.

[rowi58]

IIRC, a great teamleader said: "It's ready when it's ready" (copyrights by Kpt.Lehmann:03:). The LSH3-Team will do its best to release the new version as soon as possible. I'm absolutly sure that this will happen as soon as possible - no doubts.

But it takes some time to do it in the best way for all custumer. And that's what all user want to have - a stable running system with a great mod. The mod is on its way to the final destination - to be perfect (o.k., nobody is perfect, but to try it is is a good philosophy to give the user a well running mod).

So please be patient. It will come. No joke, no fake, it will come.

Hi guys, I'm running LSH v5.1. PC specs (yes, 'tis an old one):-
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHz, 2.50GB RAM.
LSH V5.1 runs fine on first patrol, BUT, all the saved games, whether in port after patrol or saved during a patrol, fail to load.
Can anyone suggest a solution or is it just because my machine is old? If that's the case, why does it run the game fine?
I can't get the 4GB patch to run either.
Help! :/\\!!

[Aktungbby]

Dave T!:Kaleun_Salute: Hang tough; tech help should arrive shortly.

[SnipersHunter]

Dave T if its run finde your pc isnt to old. What error message to you get when ubtry loading a savegame, are u using sh3 commander?

[Paulebaer1979]

Hi guys, I'm running LSH v5.1. PC specs (yes, 'tis an old one):-
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99 GHz, 2.50GB RAM.
This is not a fast rig - but fast enough for SH3 with LSH5.1
LSH V5.1 runs fine on first patrol, BUT, all the saved games, whether in port after patrol or saved during a patrol, fail to load.
Did you change anything for the first patrol? Crew, equipment, boat? That could be the reason for this. Change nothing before you´re back in home port after first patrol!
Can anyone suggest a solution or is it just because my machine is old? If that's the case, why does it run the game fine?
Your rig isn´t to slow for this mod. Don´t install SH3 in C:/Program files/... and follow the rules given in the readme.
I can't get the 4GB patch to run either.:/\\!!
The 4GB-Patch is necessary for the game. Why you can´t install it? You can try out the h.sie-fix and enable the 4GB-Patch there.

Checklist:
- Game installed in any other folder than c:/program files/...
- Game updated to 1.4 (depending on your version)
- 4GB-Patch activated (from LSH5.1 or h.sie) and the bc-edit order (readme), too
- First _LSH_V5 activated, than _LSH_V5.1
- No change befor first patrol ended in home port

If all those things are checked, the game should run fine.

[Jimbuna]

Welcome to SubSim Dave :sunny:

It sounds like you have a conflict within an additional installed mod but a list of precisely what you have installed may serve in finding a solution to your problem.

[Dave T]

Many thanks for the replies guys! Most appreciated.
I've managed now to start a 2nd patrol (after one failed load) and a saved in-game worked too. Fingers crossed for tonight! I can't go back to vanilla SH3 because this mod is just SO good!

The error message received was a standard Windows XP 'Silent Hunter 3 has experienced a problem and needs to close' box. Black screen.

I increased my virtual memory and increased the space on me olde hard drive. All the other check list things as noted by Paulebaer1979 are already done. The only mods running are -
_LSH3_V5
_LSH3_V5.1
_LSH3_V5.1 Rotating DF antenna
_LSH3_V5.1_SLS_Schiffshorn-Leuchtkugeln-Seenotsignal
_LSH3_V5.1_SLS_Spezialeffekte-Mittel

Regarding the 4GB patch, I try to run it (from the in game _LSH3_V5.1_TOOLS folder). First up comes the 'Select Executable...' box, and when I double-click the application I get the error message "Couldn't Open Executable!". Right clicking and selecting 'Run As' merely seems to open a duplicate 'Select Executable...' box. What am I doing wrong here?
PS. Not sure what the h.sie-fix is?

That´s a correct list. Should work without problems.

Sounds like non writing rights in the folder. Please use right mouseclick, choose "info" and change the owner to "all with full rights" for your sh3.exe Than try again with the tool to patch the exe.

h.sie is a mod wich overs more functions (refresh fuel at sea, send officer to bridge after surfacing and other things). Not necessary for sh3 but improves the simulation.

[blueduck]

Well as Paulebaer1979 said the 4GB-Patch is absolutely necessary!

Some mounts ago made a fix for LSH3_v5.1 working with h.sie 16B1, offered for some BETA-Testers, bat there was nearly no reply.

If the interest is big enough I will try to find a place on our ftp and load it up. BUT BE AWARE - it is a BETA!!!
