Newbie to SH3

[Dogfish40]

Ahoy Captains,
I'm new to SH3 but have been playing SH4 for about a year. I'm looking forward to sailing the Atlantic and Modding the Game to it's fullest. I'll be asking lots of questions.

Feel free to fire away and welcome to SH3! :salute:

I hope you brought the latest Version of SH3 thats StarForce free and has 1.4 patched.

It's available at Amazon for $6.38 as of today.

Installs right into Win7 64bit smooth as silk. :yep:

I feel ripped off, I paid 9.99$ here on base in Kabul, but true it comes with SH2 also. Mine was patched to 1.4 out the box.

Well, I'm not sure if it's 1.4 or not. I have Win7 and it installed and booted with no problems. I say I'm not sure because I got some kind of package deal and all I can remember is that I got Sh4, Sh3 and SH2 at the same time. I'm not really bothering with SH2 as I can't even locate it.
I've been playing SH4 for so long that I'm used to the graphics in that game. Now I want to get SH3's graphic's as best looking as possible.
The downloads section shut me down last night after 3 downloads, but I would like to try and get that MOD that enables better resolutions.
Tell me, anyone, what MODS you suggest for eye candy. I'm really into making the graphics as real looking as possible.
Thanks (Danka)

PS: Whats the best way to know if I'm running 1.4?
PPS: Does this game run without the disc inserted?

Without the disc:

For the game version, I believe it's in the right bottom corner of the mainmenu or options menu.

As for mods,start with GWX 3.0, then add some smaller mods to your own liking.

Lower right-hand corner of the loading screen.

PPS: Does this game run without the disc inserted?
1) If you just bought it and it was bundled with the other games then it is almost certainly able to run without the disc.

2) If the loading screen says 1.4 then it will run without the disc.

3) Take the disc out and try it. If if runs then you know. :sunny:

Another Question,
Does GWX 3.0 give the x-tra interior graphics as well ie; the x-tra rooms like the FM interiors mod does??:hmmm:

No. GWX was finalized and finished long before Flakmonkey did the NewInteriors mod. There are a great many newer mods that GWX doesn't have, which is fine because most of them are compatible and install easily using JSGME.

Thanx for the response Steve and Everyone.
What do you suggest for the interiors. I tried to get the "Blue Interior for FM Interiors" mod but the File Site is not letting me download the file. Or there is something going wrong anyway. I'd like to get the best interior mod possible. If you have any suggestions for interiors (x-tra rooms ect) please tell me where they are.
Thanks again for the response

I just got back to playing SH3 after almost 2 years off. Loaded up GWX3.0 and having fun again!

However I see this interiors mod and it looks awesome! I can't seem to find much info on it though in the main thread. I am assuming it is compatible with GWX 3.0? Also, what rooms have been finished?

Thanks!

EDIT! : Seems I found the info I needed in the read me file!

Hope you both enjoy the GWXperience :sunny:

thanks Jim! I'm an old GWX vet from many moons ago. But I must say, with these awesome interiors and so much time away, it's like a new game again. Greatly enjoying it!:arrgh!:

[Dogfish40]

Well, let's see...:hmmm:
I've installed GWX 3.0...
Got the resolution fix in....
And we'll just boot the game up and....
(GASP) ... Whoa...:o
This'll definitely work! :yeah::yeah:

Everyone, Steve, Fish, everyone, thanx for the help. I can play this. As Gord says.. "it's like a brand new game"
I really wanted to play in the Atlantic from time to time and this will work!
Now, I need to brush up on my German.
