SpySat without GWX?

[proteus-kraken]

As the title says, is it possible to install SpySat without installing GWX?

[STEED]

No as far I am aware of.

[bigboywooly]

No but you can make one for any version of the game
Without looking at the files am guessing the only 2 values changed are the radio reports and possibilty of a radio report

Not sure what figure was used in original radio reports but for possibilty set it at 100%

ReportPosMin=10 < means every 10 minutes a radio report is generated
ReportPosProbability=100 < means every time a report is generated it will always show on navmap

You will need to both the Campaign_SCR and Campaign_RND

Just use notepad to open
Always make a back up of any files you work on incase you bork em

If the spysat uses other changes then you will need to make those but pretty sure just those two as dont have spysat and never have
:yeah:

If you open the GWX3.0 SpySat mod you will notice that it is the Campaign_RND MIS file that has had details altered.

The Contacts CFG file From the Cfg folder should read like:

[ContactSettings]
; Contact settings
Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts=99999 ;[>0] kilometers
Display Range To Important Radio Contacts=99999 ;[>0] kilometers
Decay Time For Important Radio Contacts=28800 ;[>0] seconds
Decay Time For Opportunity Radio Contacts=21600 ;[>0] seconds
Decay Time For Imprecise Sensor Contacts=600 ;[>0] seconds

Single Contact Min Size=1 ;[>0] minimum numbers of units in this type of group
Small Contact Min Size=4 ;[>0] minimum numbers of units in this type of group
Medium Contact Min Size=8 ;[>0] minimum numbers of units in this type of group
Large Contact Min Size=16 ;[>0] minimum numbers of units in this type of group
[ContactRange]
;under the (right) value a contact is considered as:
Short=1000 ;[m]
Medium=8000 ;[m]
Long=16000 ;[m]
[ContactSpeeds]
;less than each value means (in this order): stationary, slow, medium and fast speed ; over the last value means very fast speed
Merchant=0.1,8,12,35 ;[kts]
Warship=0.1,8,19,35 ;[kts] including uboats

You could try Dan Fraser's mod, might not require GWX: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=130434

But I don't know why anybody wouldn't want to use GWX :rock:!

An easy way to make your own is to use Nicolas's SH3Contacts. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=127598&highlight=SH3Contacts
SH3Generator is also an elegant solution, but it does not work with Vista/7.

It's mod-independant. It reads through the whole file, makes a abckup then edits the appropriate lines :)

Nice to see it still gets mentioned!

I successfully(ish) use SH3Gen in W7Pro. Need latest dotnet4 from MS. It still creates the briefing list externally to SH3, and still adds everything to the map, but it doesn't change the briefing screen like it did in XP.

But I'm aware from another thread about a month ago that not everyone is having the success I am :nope:
