Hi sturulez
When you have installed the game.
You can only start with 2 mods maximum enabled.
1.The main LSH3 mod
2. The GUI widescreen mod.
Select a career name in Commander or your own.
Check the U-Boat type being offered if it is not a VIIB there is a drop down box where you can make the change.
Options can be changed in the main menu if you want to change your language etc.
You must then enter the Naval Academy in order for your save games folder to appear in your documents which will show as V15.
When you exit the game you can then add your additional mods.
Always start the game through Commander.
You can make any changes here to your settings.
With your new career when the game loads to the office do not make any changes but just click on the map as you need to do a test mission for all new boats in the Eprobungstelle flotilla.
When completed click on the documents on the desk and you can give out any promotions etc.
Click on the telephone and transfer to the 2nd flotilla in Wilhelmshaven.
When accepted you can then exit the game.
If you are going to have a realistic career then only enable it when starting a new mission and then untick the box the next time you start Commander before starting the game in the same mission.

The game works well and offers many ways to play your game at different skill levels.

Hi,

Thanks for your instructions. I have followed it up to the part where you say " do a test mission for all new boats in the Eprobungstelle flotilla" - I have done this but have not seen any boats in the ports or seas

Is my installation corrupt?

I have installed the game in c:/games

P.s I have notice there are two JSGME. A commander JSGME and a LSH3 2015 JSGME. Which one do I use?

THEBERBSTER
04-20-16, 06:33 PM
Hi sturulez
I would re-install SH3 and then LSH3 again as you mightl have a corrupted installation file.

Your installation path is fine never in the (x86) folder.

Your mods are already disabled in the JSGME in the main game folder when you install the game, all you need to do is open the JSGME application to see them.
You do not use the SH3Commander JSGME it is empty.

When you open JSGME just enable the 2 mods I told you.
_LSH3-2015___FULLVERSION
_LSH3-2015___GUI_WIDESCREEN

Start the game through Commander as I previously said and go to the Naval Academy and select the navigation tutorial and you should be able to see map contacts here.
The naval academy is essential as it uses this data to set your game up and create your v15 save games folder.
If the naval academy is running ok there is no reason why LSH3 will not run properly when you add the additional game mods.

This is my mod list.
Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[D:\SH3\MODS]
_LSH3-2015___FULLVERSION
_LSH3-2015___Patch_HSIE-V16B1

ok well I took off the olc widescreen mod and just used the gui widescreen mod and was able to complete a full mission starting in DEC of 39. with a type 2A
VIA sub commander.

I tried Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920x1080 and holy crap is it awesome, but because it messes up my starting location I will wait until I transfer to France and get a type 7.

Other then that, I really love it so far, I hope she stay stable. here is my current mods

http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt269/fastfed/livingsilent_zpsrcxn9b10.jpg

does WB's decks a wash mod work with this ?

Anything I'm missing?

THEBERBSTER
04-21-16, 04:28 AM
Hi fasted
Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920x1080 This mod is not compatible with the transfer process.
Start the campaign with the Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920x1080 disabled, then enable it after you do a save.
You can use the default _LSH3-2015___GUI_WIDESCREEN mod and then swap them over.
To recap, add the mod after doing the Erobusngstelle and transfer.

I will wait until I transfer to France and get a type 7. This will make no difference as you still have the transfer process from Wilhelmshaven to Lorient and then the test mission.

Using a type IIA off the Rockall Bank exposes this subs limitations.
You will also find it extremely difficult to complete the missions with the IIA as you do not have enough fuel or torpedoes.
You should be able to upgrade after the first time you docked in Wilhelmshaven.

You should be able to select a VIIB in SH3Commander from the drop down box before your first test mission and also before you did the naval academy.

Ok well obviously I did not do all of this. Do I now have to unsintall the entire game and reinstall again? or just delete my current campaign and take off my current mods?

Also what year do I have to choose in subcommander before I start?

THEBERBSTER
04-21-16, 05:21 PM
Hi fasted
Delete any current career captains.
Disable your mods.
Follow my previous instructions.
As I said you can select a captain in commander before going to the naval academy.
http://s31.postimg.org/iuzxl34fv/1_Select_Your_Captains_Name_1024.jpg
Notice in the picture that the Eprobungstelle flotilla for testing is already selected for when you start your game for real..
Although a type IIA is showing there may be a VIIB in the drop down box that you can select now.
Notice also that the start date is approximately 1 month before the start of the war.
This means you can sail pass Scapa Flow and stick to fingers up at the Royal Navy destroyers as you make your way to your patrol grid off the Rockall Bank as war has not been declared yet.

Stick with the default year.

just did a full reinstall for the heck of it, followed your directions to the T, when opening sub commander without touching a thing except selecting a captain, there is no type 2, just a type 7B

04-21-16, 08:40 PM
the only way I can get a type 2 sub is to select the month of September, Aug. like you show is only a VIIB

fastfed
04-21-16, 08:57 PM
CTD!! LMFAO

I guess the mods need to be in the correct order, you had me put the GUI as the second mod and only 1 of the two from the beginning.

Also after I initially made my captain and started the game for the first time VIA commander, did the academy and quit the game, no longer was my made captain in commander anymore, so I then had to make it again and make the "changes" I wanted as stated.
When finally opening the game I now had two captains made, same name.

After going forward and loading anyway I got a CTD after loading the first test mission?
I changed the mod list around and now it worked, Why can't someone just simply put their mod list in the proper order so people would know?

If I followed what LSH3 shows in JSME and just enabled it all it wouldn't work.
Pretty sure HSIE-v16 needs to be enabled pretty early, before the GUI

fastfed
04-21-16, 09:28 PM
When the transfer is accepted you can exit the game.
If you want to have a realistic career or want to use the realistic crew transfers then tick the boxes before you start the games new mission.
Untick the boxes again after you have made your next game save.
This procedure should be done before any new mission but not on test missions when upgrading your boat.




Tick what boxes? I already made my captain and followed your directions, there is no box to tick anymore.

Hello gang been awhile,
I just got back into playing silent hunter 3 and wanted to try my hand at the mods, I currently have gwx working flawless and wanted to check out LSH32015. so my problem right now as when i go through the installation process is that it says it cant have spaces for the file. I go to the sh3 file and it says that it cannot have spaces and then tells me to retry. Also should i uninstall gwx and could that be the problem? if anyone could help me that would be great. I'm going through steam games,common,then to silent hunter 3 file and this is where i run into spaces are not allowed in file names or path. Silent hunter 3 is on my G drive under steam games if that helps?!
Cheers,

Hi fasted
Do not forget that you can use the menus in Commander to enhance your game.
The tick boxes I am referring to are these in the Career Menu.
If you want to simulate a realistic captains career or have realistic crew transfers then you tick the box before the start of any new mission.
You remove the tick/s before the start of your next gaming session.

Hi Guys

I am trying to get SH3 to work with Win 10 without luck

I have downloaded LSH3 and followed the instructions but when get to this section :_

LSH3-EDITION-2015-STARTER installation dialog:
- Choose a language and follow the instruction
- Choose the installation folder of the original SH3 installation
- Wait while the files are being unpacked
- The rest of the installation works automatically


I choose the installation folder as per the PDF which came with the download and I get the following

SH3 must not be installed in this path, tried other folders or creating a folder and it says no spaces allowed and retry

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi Peter

Thanks for your patience.

I tried to load the game using SH3.exe using admin and compatibility as OS7 (running win 10) the ubisot logo comes up, the the sub in fog video followed by the SH3 title and red loading bar. the red bar gets to the end then the games crashes so don't get to try loading the naval academy.

I'll get there eventually but its fighting me every step of the way grrrrr

update, if I try and start the game using the LSH 2015 Start icon in admin mode it crashes even before I get to the start screen,


Further more encouraging update, got the game to start, did the academy bit V15 folder created so should be good to go, when I come to start a career it loads, red bar gets to the end then........ total freeze. I have to restart computer , so nearly there!!!!!
If it helps I can post a video here to show what I mean, its probably something very simple but oh so frustrating
Hi frankie
4gb patch is automatically activated by LSH3.
You can test your installation first by loading the game using the SH3.exe
On the menu try loading the Naval Aademy if this loads ok without a ctd then you should be ok.
If you ctd then you will need to run the SH5.exe in a compatibility mode and administrator.
OS win 10 use OS7
OS7 use XP.
If all is ok then do the following.
Open JSGME
Enable the main LSH3 mod.
Enable the Widescreen GUI mod.
Just 2 mods only.
Always start the game through LSH3Commander.
Run your applications in administrator.
Start SH3Commander enter a Captain's name or one of your own.
Start the game.
At the Menu you can use the options to change the crew language etc.
You must now select the Naval Academy (bottom left corner) so that your saved games folder is created.
You can start a tutorial and then exit back to the desk top.
If you check your documents folder you should see the v15 saved games folder.
Enable the rest of the mods you want to use in your game.
You can make changes in SH3Commander including the U-Boat type.
You are now going to start a new career in the test flotilla Eprobungstelle do not make any changes to your boat just click on the map in the office.
Good luck

Hi frankie
I have found that LSH3 does not like loading from the short cut keys.
Try this first and hopefully this should work ok.
You must always start the game from SH3Commander
Go directly to the SH3Commander folder and run the Commander.exe application from here as administrator.
Right click on the commander exe and go to properties and then compatibility to make it permanent if you have not already set it to run as administrator.

Your game loading problem is I would think down to the compatibility of not liking Win10.
If your SH5.exe does not like compatibility OS7 then try XP.
Make sure you are running in administrator mode.
The fact that you have had some success is just about finding the right mode.
I am running OS10 with the SH3.exe set as OS7 with no problems after dozens of game loadings

I've tried in Xp compatibility and same thing, I first went into sh3 commander, set up a player name, launched the game then played the academy to set up the v15 folder which is shown in documents so all ok, then after coming out of the game I go back into commander expecting to see the player name still there the name is not there, I click new career, start the game then click on the player name I previously set up, playing academy is no problem but still cannot start a career

I fine I can play a career without a problem as the std game, issue starts when I use jsgme mod to LSH3 which is what I really want play in

Hi frankie
If you set up the 2 mods I mentioned in the previous post and started the game with SH3Commander when you loaded the game to the main menu to start the naval Academy you should have seen your captain's name there.

After the Naval Academy you can enable more mods.
When you go back to Commander you still need to click on New Career as you have not started it as such as the Naval Academy is part of SH3.
You should then see your Captains name when the game loads to the main menu.

You say "freezes". Does it crash to desktop, or does it just sit there? If it just sits there, give it some time. Depending on the mod load I've had it take as much as five minutes to load...but it does load.

05-04-16, 10:29 AM
It doesn't crash to desktop just sits there, will give a 10 minute wait to see if it does, gone away and came back and still frozen but will leave for longer

When you say it is a freeze how long in minutes would you say you are allowing before you think it is no longer loading?
What mods are you using?
Post #9 JSGME How To Export Your Mod List To A Subsim Post (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2182975&postcount=9)
Go to your v15 folder\data\cfg\careers and delete any career names.
Reboot your system.
Start the SH3Commander application from the main folder.
Select a new Career name.
Start the game.
At the menu select new career.
When the game loads to the office click on the map.
Depending on your system it can take 5 or 6 minutes to load the game.

If this does not work then the fact that you have another freeze or ctd will be a compatibility issue.
Your gpu needs to be 2gb or greater or if you are using a laptop with an integrated gpu this can also be a problem too.
The fact that the freeze happens when trying to load usually right at the end of the line is not really any different to a ctd, something is not right and it is telling you.
Were you able to load the Naval Academy with the 2 mods installed without any loading problems or glitches?
Did you actually try say the Navigation Tutorial to see if all the controls etc, were looking ok and everything was in the right place?

I have never had a ctd in the game but I had numerous game loading crashes in all sorts of places before I found the right compatibility.
Sometimes I could reload the game straight away and it would load without any problems.

Steve, thanks for the tip a about waiting.

It appeared to be frozen as it stuck on the max red line for ages but guess what, after 9mins 10 secs it started!!!!!! I,m back in the game woohooooo

I have been playing SH3 for years with mods , sh4 isn't as good in my opinion, SH5 is eye candy but horrible to play as I just cannot get into it so keep coming back to sh3. And now I can play it once again on win 10.

A very happy bunny :D. Just one thing, how do I get out the harbour, all the locks are closed!!!,

hi frankie
Never install in Program x86 folder.
Your game loading time will depend on your systems capability.

Approach the locks carefully as they are timed and do not know you are there.
I prefer to use the one to the left of the junction rather than the one almost straight ahead as this gives you more time to take a better position and adjust the speed.

When you return from your testing mission in Stralsund.
Use the Esc key
Exit patrol
Dock at Stralsund
You will find yourself at a desk.
Press on the documents at the desk and you can award promotions etc.
Any promotion here will be lost if not taken.
Then click on the telephone and request a transfer to flotilla 2 at Wilhelmshaven.
You should then see your request has been approved.

If you want to play with a realistic career or realistic crew transfers tick the box before you start a new mission (not test missions)
Remove the tick the next time you start SH3Commander but before you load the game so that any changes can only occur once in the current mission.

THEBERBSTER
05-11-16, 06:14 PM
Hi flyer
No.
There are 2 download options.
1 single large file or 9 multiple files.
The 9 multiple files all need to be put in to a new folder.
Check that the files downloaded have not been corrupted by checking the number of bytes in each file from the link below.
http://www.lsh3.com/v15/download_parts_en.html
Single file download check.
http://www.lsh3.com/v15/download_full_en.html
After downloading LSH3-2015 restart your system.
To install the 9 files use the LSH3-EDITION-2015-STARTER-SPLIT.EXE and follow the screen instructions.
Like wise as above if you are installing from the 1 large file then extract from the zip file and use the LSH3-EDITION-2015-STARTER-FULL.EXE

SH3 must be a fresh install and not in the default Program x86 folder.
Make a new folder like SH3 so your install path will look like C:\SH3.

Interestingly, in my case it's a direct opposite. Initially I too set the compatibility mode to WinXP. Then after a couple CDTs on loading I switched it off. It appears CDTs are now gone.

Thank you THEBERBSTER for the suggested reading, I'll check those out. However, my problem is not occurring during installation. I can launch the game, and I can even get into the naval training, such as the navigation, and deck gun walkthroughs. However, without fail, every time the game fails too load into a career. It simply won't do it. I've installed 3 times, trying something a little different each time, but all three times, all that I can access is the Naval Academy.

the game doe snot crash, it just never finishes loading. The red progress bar gets 99% finished, and quits.
I don't care too finish the naval acadamy, is that required too play the career? I've played several hundred hours of Silent Hunter games, Don't need it
I have set the compatability mode on the .exe too windows 7, and left it alone, neither work

Hi Spruence
Go to C:\documents can you see the V15 folder?

Make sure your SH3.exe is set to run as administrator permanently from Properties.

After you install LSH3 go to JSGME and enable the main mod and you can also enable the default 1920x1080 wide screen mod if that is your resolution.
You must always start the game through SH3Commander.
Do not use the shortcuts.
Load SH3Commander from your install path C:\ silent hunter 3 this does make a difference.
You can randomize a Captain or use your own.
Load the game.
The Option in the main menu will allow you to change the crew language from English to German as well as other changes.
You must go to the Naval Academy in the same menu.
This is essential as it uses this data and sets up your saved games folder V15.
If you select the Navigation Tutorial you can check if everything is in order.
Exit the game back to the desk top.
Go to JSGME and enable any additional mods that you want to use.
If you want to make changes to the hsie mod then this needs to be done with the mod disabled.
Go to the mods folder, select the hsie and use the application to open the mod.
When saved it will update the SH3.exe

Start the game through SH3Commander.
Make any changes in Commander that you want to use.
Available U-boats are in the drop down box.
Load the game.
At the main menu you should be able to select the New Career.
This should load to the Office.
Do not make any changes here as you are going to start a test mission in the Eprobungstelle flotilla.
Click on the map.
Depending on your systems performance this may take sometime 3 to 6 minutes may be for the game to load fully.
Hopefully the game will load ok and you will be in the testing base Stralsund.
All orders are received by radio, short cut key M.

When docking use the Esc key.
Exit Patrol.
Select dock at Stralsund
At the table click on the documents.
Any promotions must be taken here or lost.
Crew qualifications and medals can all be done in SH3Commander.
Click on the telephone.
Request a transfer to flotilla 2.
You should see an approved request in red.
Use the arrow to exit.
And then showing your new base is Wilhelmshaven OK.
Exit the game back to the desk top.

Thank you for the reply. It turns out that I had not used the 4gb patch on the .exe. Once this was done, the game began working as expected.

However!

Why won't my periscope stay where I put it??

Sometimes, I'm trying to raise the scope, and it's not going up! It goes up a little, then comes down!:/\\!!

I ran a patrol today, sank 15 ships! That was even before I got too my patrol grid, I actually had to turn around and go back due to lack of ammo, and partially, because the periscope was allied with the English! :/\\!!

Finished my 2nd patrol. Periscope suggestion worked too perfection.

As per my own tradition, I set out upon Scapa Flow on my second patrol, and what do you know? I found the HMS Illustrious and the HMS Warspite sitting in port. I sank both before leaving, although, the Warspite's explosion took another crusier with it, I did not get credit for that ship. However, upon return to port, promotion to Kapitanleutnant and Iron Cross 1st and 2nd class.

Side note, Wow, I did not remember the unreliability of the G7a torpedoes being so bad. I fired 4 torpedoes at the Illustrious, and 1 failed too run it's course, simply floating too the bottom of the sound, then out of 4 fired at the Warspite, 2 were duds! I didn't remember them being so bad. Now that is with using them at fast speed, with impact pistols!

Hello everyone! im really enjoying LSH3 so far! im on my second patrol in 1940. but i have a couple of small issues:

- I am using the blue water ATM option, and the sun looks like a very small flat disk, plus i dont get any sun "beams" like the manual sais i should. I applied the ATM blue water sunfix mod as instructed in the ATM manual, but there was no change. the sun still looks the same.
Any idea what could be wrong?
My video card is an nvidia gtx-750ti, latest drivers.

- Between missions i went to the sub customization screen (on the desk), and i wanted to put an insignia on my sub tower, but there were no insignias at all to choose from under the "special" category. How do i put an insignia on my boat?

thanks!

EDIT:
Forgot to mention, these are the installed options on my LSH3 installation:
- LSH3 2015 full version
- SLS special effects big
- Historical messages
- ATM blue water
- ATM blue water sunfix (tried both on & off)

I think LSH3-2015 is an underestimated mega mod.
The combination of game play settings,mods,HSIE, and SH3Commander gives the gamer a variable choice of difficulty levels when combining these different components.

It works fine, I am just based in Keil, and I either have too go North too past Denmark or through the Keil canal. The start at sea will drop me north of Keil, I just have too burn quite a bit of fuel passing Denmark.

But I have not played since I was killed by the locke. I should do a patrol in a day or too, and I figured I would set the next time in port for 2 months. I've already been promoted too kaptainlieutenant, and decorated three times, so I'm sure that the High Command won't mind me taking a couple of months on a tour of defeated Poland, and dropping in too the other port yards too see the VIIc that is about too come online. :) Kiel is the worst base imo, I'm just waiting for France too fall.

Alright, maybe I'm just blind as a bat or incredibly stupid, or maybe I'm just impatient.

I installed the mod. Everythign went just fine. All the units are there. The graphics (especially the effects) are gorgeous. Everything seems to be working just as it should.

Except for the simple fact that I can't upgrade my u-boat. I'm at Lorient. It's June of 1941, and I'm still saddled with this VIIB I've had since 1939. I mean it's a great boat and all...such a great boat that its given me enough renown to buy like 10 uboats; which I'd do were they showing up *anywhere* in any menu. The only thing I have is the tech tree, which indicates that I should have one by now.


Am I seriously missing something? Everything else is working perfectly, so what did I manage to screw?

Did you download the single large file or the multi files?

Some information from various posts.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2331170&postcount=116
Those who use Steam need to know that most mods assume the game is in a Ubisoft folder on the "C" drive. When saving a download, Steam users have to use C:/Programfilesx86/steam/steamapps/common/silenthunter3/mods.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2331226&postcount=118
I've replaced SHIII from C:/Programfilesx86/steam/steamapps/common/silenthunter3/ to the desk.
Then I change the name: SilenthunterIII must be fully attached.
And I began the program.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2352990&postcount=222
I think I found a way to be able to install the silent hunter mod with a Steam folder. Sure enough somebody already wrote something about this but anyway.
The problem is that the MOD will not allow you to install under your regular Steam folder and therefore you need to have an original game.
In steam there is an option to select which folder to install. Go to STEAM > SETTINGS > DOWNLOADS > STEAM LIBARY FOLDERS. This where you create a new steam folder on your desktop. Make sure you rename your Silent hunter 3 folder without spaces later. Now when you reinstall the SH3 game it will ask you in which folder you would like to download to. Simply click your desktop folder and your done.
Remember you cannot install via direct link from steam as you changed your folder name without spaces but you can create a link to the SH3.exe
For me this worked.

Did you download the single large file or the multi files?

Some information from various posts.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2331170&postcount=116
Those who use Steam need to know that most mods assume the game is in a Ubisoft folder on the "C" drive. When saving a download, Steam users have to use C:/Programfilesx86/steam/steamapps/common/silenthunter3/mods.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2331226&postcount=118
I've replaced SHIII from C:/Programfilesx86/steam/steamapps/common/silenthunter3/ to the desk.
Then I change the name: SilenthunterIII must be fully attached.
And I began the program.

Thank you! But I would probably be easier to install a boxed version of Silent Hunter 3

@DimsRus, I have the steam version, too.

Here's what you can do:

1) Install silent hunter 3 via steam

2) Find the copy of SH3 inside your steam folder like D: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Silent Hunter 3.

3) Now paste the entire Silent Hunter 3 folder somewhere on your hard disk like D: \ Games \ Silent Hunter 3

4) Rename your Silent Hunter 3 folder to "SilentHunter3". It is important that the name has no spaces.

5) You should now be able to install LSH 2015. Once you have started the installer the only thing you have to do is finding and selecting your "SilentHunter3" folder.

6) Make sure you activate at least the mods called "_LSH3-2015___FULLVERSION" and "_LSH3-2015___Patch_HSIE-V16B1" with JSGME.EXE

7) Run "HsieOptionsSelector.exe" and select the options you like, then confirm.

8) Run "SH3Cmdr.EXE". Select what you like and click on the check mark box in the bottom right corner of the program to start the game!

Hope it works for you :up:

Hello guys

Really loving this mod so far. Like the random failures and sabotage you can option in via SH Commander. On my first patrol out of Kiel, my starboard diesel got damaged after 5 minutes at ahead flank. Dropped down to full and had a crew repairing it. Then 20 minutes later my second in command tells me we have to shut it down or it will be lost. So stopped the boat and waited for 2 hours until it was repaired :D. Just hope my diveplanes won't jam cause that would be a disaster :haha:

Hi all.

Apologies if someone else has already posted the following changes, but I have been experimenting with some older mods to see if they will work with the latest LSH3. To be fair I've hardly played a career yet as I'm trying to make it similar to how my GWX version was, but the adjustments appear to work okay. Obviously find the files where you have installed LSH3 on your PC (I am using Steam so have installed exactly as suggested by Theberster - many thanks for your detailed and well explained step by steps for installing etc otherwise I probably would have fallen at the first hurdle trying this mod) and open them with 'notepad'.

Thomsen's Sound Pack:

As already noticed in past posts this mod will not work with LSH3, causing CTD's. However, if like myself you get fed up with hearing 'Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!' after every order, adjust the following as advised in the 'Readme.txt' within Thomsen's mod file:

C:Games>SilentHunter3>data>Sound>Speech

Here you will find 9 folders. In each folder delete the following (use ctrl-f to find them if necessary):

ChE_K_Yes_Sir.ogg
ChE_P_Yes_Sir.ogg
ChE_S_Yes_Sir.ogg

Save before closing 'notepad'. In game you will then no longer have 'Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!' but will get the verbal acknowledgement of order given.

Compulsory U-boat Headdress:

I like my crew to have self-discipline and prefer them to always wear their hat. This mod didn't appear to work with JSGME so I again followed the Readme.txt and made the following adjustments. There are about 120 changes in each file so it is a little laborious. However, so far I have only changed the II U-boat crew and only the file which has a crew name with it:

C>Games>SilentHunter3>data>Cfg

The paths to change are:

crew_config_II_1
crew_config_II_2
crew_config_II_3
crew_config_IX_1
crew_config_IX_2
crew_config_IX_3
crew_config_VII_1
crew_config_VII_2
crew_config_VII_3
crew_config_XXI_1
crew_config_XXI_2
crew_config_XXI_3

"HasHelmet=No" change to "Yes" and save before closing 'notepad'.

Again use ctrl-f to find them easily.

I hope this post might help some of you. Disclaimer - please don't blame me if anything goes wrong and credit goes to the creators of the above mods who have provided the information within their mods.

If someone knows how to take out the U-Boat orange location arrow icon and LSH3 logo when in external view I would be very grateful.

Also whether there is a mod that has the four-digit co-ordinate overlay in the F5 map for U-Boat location as used in WW2. This was used in GWX under 'Charts add on' but will not work with LSH3.

Happy hunting!

Hi nt
Glad to hear the Steam fix worked ok for you and you have the game up and running.
Regarding the Thomsen Sound Pack.
This mod causes a problem in the Eprobungstelle test missions where it will place your boat thousands of miles away from your test base.
Very useful information also especially the speech file changes.

Hi Peter,

The same bug happens with GUI_OLC_WIDESCREEN when you add 'EnglishToGermanForOLCGUIGWXv1.1' (I know it's not meant for the LSH3 supermod but it works). When starting in the Epprobungstelle Flotilla the home base is Penang and the U-Boat is located in grid FG28. As the language mod works within the game, the easiest way around this I've found is to move the mod from right to left columns in JSGME when taking the test mission and when upgrading/transferring to another base and then add the English to German addition before continuing with career patrols.

Other mods which work with LSH3:

Rapt0r's Uniforms V2.0 (I am using Grey - All Leather)
Authentic_U-boat_Off_Faces (Works in barracks when adding crew members etc and in boat management screen when on boat - F7 - but not the lower screen icons). (Worked around this by using Numpad Del button to take off these icons when not needed).

If anyone wants to change the 'Gute jagd, Ihr Himmelhund' to whatever they wish, use this method:

C:Games>SilentHunter3>data>Menu>en_menu.txt

Open with 'notepad'.

Ctrl-f to find what you wish to change (should be file 961).

I changed it to 'Das Boot...' Save when closing 'notepad'.

The 4-digit grid conversion you're looking for is GRIDXXXX. It's available here at SUBSIM in two forms, the original by Tycho and modified by Fahnenbohn. Either "Search" or go to the "Downloads" section.

I installed it in LSH3 menu_1024_768 as G31 I35. But, I'd advise you to change the position before you install it; the original (-157, 1671) leaves it hidden beneath other pullouts at the upper left corner of the Nav chart screen. I changed it to 125, 1650, which centers it at the top of the chart.

Hope this helps; sink 'em all!:arrgh!:

Been getting tired of GWX (but not SH3 itself still), looking to give LSH another try after my previous attempts.

Maybe I would be able to get into this great looking mod if some of the biggest issues I have with it have some type of resolutions:

1) Extremely, extremely, long load times, both for booting up and loading a mission (as well as loading save)

This really is the biggest issue that prevents me from playing this supermod.

Is there any fix or solution to this?

I run win7 64 bit, 16gb ram, gtx970 (soon to be gtx1070 in a few days), i5 cpu

I grew up on a c64, so I know how to deal with long load times, but I swear these load times are longer than anything even the longest loading c64 games. It is easily 5 to 7 minutes per load, sometimes seems closer to 10 minutes.

Other secondary issues:

2) AI for enemy destroyers hunting you is extremely poor (even with extended challenge on)

This I could even just deal with without any solutions as long as the load times disappear or lessen at least and just simply enjoy LSH for its extreme immersive feeling, which in that department it highly excels...which is all the more reason it is so sad that these other 2 issues plaque the supermod.

Anyways, sorry if I come off as a dick with this post or seem entitled. I really want to enjoy LSH, but these issues are preventing to from being able to, despite all the potential and work I can clearly see went into this supermod.

So, any tips, tricks, information, solutions, advice, etc would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Danke

Hi skip
The jaggies have always been a problem with SH3.
I have a 4gb gpu and use high in game resolution.
My fps rate is high until I open the map up big and then it can drop like a stone.
SH3 is a 10 year old game not designed for modern digital monitors with high screen resolutions.
This was still in the period of the old VGA 4.3 ones.
Might try a medium in game resolution and see if I notice much difference to the fps rate.

This is where the problem usually lies.
Your boat being thousands of miles away from its starting base.
Disabling the mod before the test mission and then enabling again afterwards will get around the problem.

My monitor's native res is 2560x1600. I use the GUI Widescreen MOD for LSH3 and set the resolution in the V15 "main.cfg" file for 2048x1536.

Every game screen is big, beautiful, crisp and sharp; I don't have any "jaggies" nor any frame-rate issues. Those seem to be resolved best by the settings in the graphics card controller; mine is NVIDIA "Manage 3D Settings" and I use the recommended values that are in a thread on the SH4 forum. IIRC they are: Anisotropic filtering = 16X, Antialiasing Override/4X/4X Supersample; Texture Filtering - Aniso = off, Neg bias = Clamp, Quality = High, Tri-linear = On. I also made sure that the Scaling Mode is set to Aspect Ratio and Perf. Scaling is set on GPU.

Hope this helps...sink 'em all!:arrgh!:

But...in all honesty it was just some information that I remembered was out there somewhere. In fact, I just checked and the thread is "stickied" on the Silent Hunter 4:WoP forum.

It was started by Rubini in 2008 and contains many pages of useful info to suit just about any display hardware and firmware/driver configuration that one is likely to have to work with any edition of Silent Hunter.

Since it is about nvidia tweaks for SH3 and SH4, I wonder if our helpful moderator(s) couldn't copy it and sticky it to the SH3 forum as well. I know that would take up bandwidth and physical memory, but sometimes people apply narrow parameters to their searches and that thread isn't in an obvious place to look for answers to SH3 problems.

I'm very much enjoying LSH3 so far - excellent work!! :Kaleun_Applaud:

Many nice features. Very impressed with the environment lighting - especially at night! :yeah:

I have found a potential bug to do with ship spawns: On patrol, March 19 1940, Grid AF78, I encountered 2 x US S-Class subs within a few miles of each other, heading east. Both boats had the US flag and were marked as enemies on the map (red sub target icon). I know the USN operated S-class boats in the Atlantic in WW2 , but it seems historically wrong/odd to have US Navy subs patrolling between Scotland and Norway before the USA even entered the war. And also any US subs should be classed as Neutral targets, not Enemy targets.

Also, I launched a torpedo at one of the US subs. It hit the sub amidships, big explosion. The sub stopped moving but did not sink (I waited 24 hrs). Surely a torpedo hit like that should be more than enough to sink any sub?

First a quick question to anyone, starting my first LSH campaign. I started in Kiel port at that start of the war with a Type VIIB (forget which flotilla, but I think 7th? because I didn't want to do 1st and be stuck on type IIB for the start of the war [already did 2 campaigns in the past starting with them]).

Anyways, after a few patrols, I applied for transfer to 1st flotilla so I could get Brest base once Germany took over France. I found out later LSH takes 5 patrols to do xfer, not just immediately like vanilla, which is fine, but when I got xfer'd mid patrol I was surprised to arrive at Brest and still not have the option of buying a Type VIIC. I figured maybe I have to wait until I do a full mission from the base, but still no dice. I have continued missions and it is now Dec. 1940 still no option. I am wondering if my xfer messed it up or is this just how it works?

Turns out I am starting my 12th patrol in Jan. 1941, so if I don't get the option to buy a VIIC by the next patrol, then I definitely think something is wrong, but maybe someone knows if this is just how late it takes to get the VIIC or what for LSH?




I'm very much enjoying LSH3 so far - excellent work!! :Kaleun_Applaud:

Many nice features. Very impressed with the environment lighting - especially at night! :yeah:

I have found a potential bug to do with ship spawns: On patrol, March 19 1940, Grid AF78, I encountered 2 x US S-Class subs within a few miles of each other, heading east. Both boats had the US flag and were marked as enemies on the map (red sub target icon). I know the USN operated S-class boats in the Atlantic in WW2 , but it seems historically wrong/odd to have US Navy subs patrolling between Scotland and Norway before the USA even entered the war. And also any US subs should be classed as Neutral targets, not Enemy targets.

Also, I launched a torpedo at one of the US subs. It hit the sub amidships, big explosion. The sub stopped moving but did not sink (I waited 24 hrs). Surely a torpedo hit like that should be more than enough to sink any sub?

I have seriously started my first LSH campaign now too, (just starting 12th patrol), and I too, came across 2 S-Class subs north of Scapa Flow on the same patrol, maybe 10th patrol, sometime in 1941 but before USA entering.

I often do manual sound detection work while going to patrol zones, and came across the most faint and unique sound I have ever heard in SH3. Since the sound was so faint it was quite a feat to track it down and when I discovered what it was I was really amazed I found it at all.

It was a S-class sub that was SUBMERGED, periscope up, but with the rest of the boat underwater, because of this, there was also no contact box on the map, regardless of how close I got. Since, S-Class was used both by UK and USA navy but since USA did not enter the war yet, I figured it was British (there was no flag since the sub was submerged). Since this was a new experience for me, I decided to try to attack the sub, figuring it for British, motivated by the background knowledge (IIRC) that Brit subs did cause a few problems for the Germans and also IIRC there was at least one sub to sub torpedo attack in the war (although they didn't hit each other).

Anyways, because how I chased down the S-Class, I came up behind it and decided to continue to do so as to be in it's sound blind-spot (didn't know how realistically LSH would model submerged AI subs).

I had to set my torp depth very deep in order to have a chance of hitting (I think I did 12-16 meters). I fired 1 torp and hit the back but just fore of the propeller. It did not destroy the sub... but clearly crippled it badly. I fired another one and that sunk it, making it sink toward crush depth.

After this I continued my patrol and then was returning to port after a convoy attack, and around the same area as the first sub, I found another one, S-Class, but this time the sub was surfaced, so it showed up as a red box and indeed the flag on the sub was USA.

Now, before hearing your post, I assumed that the first sub I sunk was maybe a USA one, during neutral time, which IIRC SH makes a neutral country attacked by Germany as hostile (red) until the end of the patrol and then resets. So, I thought the first S-Class was USA based on that info and assumed that is why the 2nd USA sub that was surfaced and confirmed USA due to the flag was red box hostile.

But now I hear your story, I am more confused. Maybe someone with more knowledge of LSH and/or real WW2 sub history can give some more context and information? Yeah, US Subs did stuff during WW2, but around the UK? Did that ever happen? BEFORE entering the war?

Or maybe it is indeed just a bug...?

Also, I agree that one torpedo, pretty much regardless of where hitting should sink a S-Class sub, they are so small...how could it possibly survive anything more than 1 torpedo hit??

Hi Pomf
The Type VIIB is available from the first test patrol through SH3Commander rather than accepting the default Type IIA.
The 2nd Flotilla is based in Wilhelmshaven and moves to Lorient in July 1940.
The 7th Flotilla is based in Kiel and moves to Brest in July 1940.
The Type IXB becomes available before the VIIC.
The radio message for VIIC boats becoming available appears on 1st May 1940.
New bases are also informed by radio message showing the your U-boat number and then can be transferred to.
Looking at your current playing date the VIIC should be still available even if not selected.
All available boats should be able to be seen in the Office using the U-Boat Management Desk.
Like you I am in the 7th Flotilla and I transferred from the Type VIIB to choose the IXB over the VIIC because of it's torpedo carrying capacity.
And long distance you are given to patrol.

I finally got tired of all the problems in Silent Hunter 5 and decided to try LSH3 2015 for the past 2 weeks now and wow. It is so nice to run several missions without a single CTD.:Kaleun_Salute::Kaleun_Cheers:
The LSH3 gaming atmosphere is fantastic. I haven't even had one single "WTF" moment in the past 2 weeks except for a couple ships taking 24+ hours to sink.:zzz:

I did replace a few RED lights with BLUE lights for the Type VII Interior (Hydrophone Room, Radio Room, Captains Bed, Dining Table, Over Attack and Navigation charts, Over Crew Management) so 7 blue lights total. I wanted to do the same in the Fore/Aft torpedo rooms but there is no Camera position for those rooms.

Halo_xx changes:
ParticleGenerator --> BitmapParticle --> [0] --> Color [6] --> [0] --> Color = 255, 153, 0 --> 5, 3, 225Ambient Light changes for Control Room, Radio Room and Conning Tower: (Need 1 small BLUE Light over Attack Map in CT)
AmbientLightCR/RR/CT = 255, 255, 255 --> 225, 225, 225 to soften illumination.
InteriorLight - NightLightColor 106, 0, 0 --> 100, 30, 100 so blue lights illuminate their respective area's.The lighting looks decent but I am sure the lights can be tweaked a little more.

I have found a potential bug to do with ship spawns: On patrol, March 19 1940, Grid AF78, I encountered 2 x US S-Class subs within a few miles of each other, heading east. Both boats had the US flag and were marked as enemies on the map (red sub target icon).

I do have a question that I am hoping someone on the LSH3 team may be able to answer.

Using 2 Depth Dial Control's and 2 ParticleGenerator Control's per Halo, would it be possible to have some Red Night Lights turn to Blue Night Lights when diving down below say 20 meters?
Then the opposite, Blue Night Lights turn back to Red when rising above 20 meters?

Or does the controller stay disabled once turned off by the dial control?

Please Advise!

The best way to get a response to your questions is to email LSH.

LSH3 has lost their English speaking modder through ill health so if you know the German language then that would be a big help in translation.

Getting really frustrated with LSH again...

I get all the more mad when I know as others have described it is the most atmospheric feeling supermod there is currently and would be the undisputed best mod if it weren't for it's major issues (which IMO are):
1) Ridiculous loading times (5-7mins for save games)
2) Worst Destroyer AI off all the supermods (including stock) [even with extended challenge on]
3) Most picky and buggy mod when it comes to crashes and saving games (compared to say GWX)

And yet as far as atmospheric and immersive feeling, it is the best out of them all, and so if only the technical/major issues would get worked out, then the game mod would be perfect.

So, long story follows, followed by seeking some help on the current issue I have myself in:

So, recently I had tried to get back into LSH15, and had been having some success. Basically I came up with some solutions to some of the major issues the mod has. First, I would plan out when I was gonna to play and when I would start loading a save game. For example, after waking up and intending to play, I would start loading the game as I went to the kitchen to prep coffee and breakfast (because you really do have that much time to kill).
Eventually, I refined my plans to always trying to stop playing for the day after completing a mission as there is no extra load time while at office base.

Also, if I did have to save and stop for the day, I tried to make sure my uboat was surfaced and no other ships around. As indeed that does seem to cause failed save game loading sometimes. Keyword is sometimes. Because I have got it to work before to load a save game while a convoy was around and underwater.


As I progressed with my first campaign in LSH15, I reached my 12th patrol, starting in Jan 1941. And recently I had been lured into a false sense of security when it seemed like almost any saved game would load regardless of condition.

Anyways I had come across a real neat convoy that I had not experienced before in LSH, it was 2 rows with one column being almost entirely tankers, T2 and 3 T3s even. Since the waters were safe for deckgun, I decided to first take out the 3 escorts so I could maybe take out the entire convoy with torps + deckgun. This worked out rather well, without reloading, since LSH makes me afraid to reload due so many failures in save game loading. I took out the escorts and and a few ships that had guns on them (3) with torps before surfacing and attacking with deckgun while loading ext torps. After finishing uses all torps and deckgun ammo, there were still 8 ships left and since before the attack I had reported the convoy position via radio. Only this time, I had got a response I had not yet got in LSH, to the effect of hold contact.

So, even though I knew I should have sailed out of range of the convoy to save, I did not, because I was hoping for the first time to see a wolfpack attack since I checked the option in HSIE. I followed the convoy and reported every 2 hours, until I got a report about how all uboats were in position and do not send any more reports and attack when ready. Well, I had nothing to attack with but I was hoping to see AI uboats attack at least.

I will say despite the fear of knowing how LSH is so bad with loading I still save very often under the chance it might work to reload. So I had about 20+ saves from the point of contact until following the convoy and getting the uboats ready to attack message.

Now, as much as I wanted to see this, I had already held out as long as possible and had to leave for a doctor appointment. So I exited the game with a save while 10km away from the convoy with my uboat on the surface.

When I have a chance to play again, I try to load up the last save, which of COURSE...fails... and so do the last 20 saves that all involved visual/sensor range of the convoy...(keep it mind this is 5-7mins loading just to test each one [add in the 1-2mins main menu starting up load time]).

I was even more mad, because it was probably the most fun convoy attack I have ever done in over 1000+ hours of SH3 playing, either stock, GWX, or LSH.

At first I allowed the deleting later saves for the first couple of "maintaining contact" saves I had made. But then I decided to cover myself and I backed up my save games in a backup folder. However, at the time of backup I made one critical mistake, when copying over the OLDER backup files (done after the 4th patrol) I did not save over all the files and keep the old files in the "captain name" folder, which at the time I was very tired and mad and not thinking straight, but I did not realize that this meant that the career and patrol cfgs would not get updated.

But I had given up trying for the day. And the next day, I came up with an idea in which maybe if I removed a few extras from LSH it would allow me to load the backup saves safely.

So, I went to the JSGME but saw all I had was the deutschland radio and extended challenge as the only extras besides the base main LSH mod.
In any case, I intended on removing the radio mod since I thought it probably wouldn't work but might as well try. As I had just got out of bed but not properly awake, I instead actually click the REMOVE all arrow instead of just the single item arrow.... I don't know if this is ****ed things up even more but I put back the main mod + extended challenge. One thing for sure it did those was mess up some custom configs I had to redo, for example airstrike, contracts, and a lot of uncensoring digging through various folders to uncensor all the swastikas that could be uncensored (deckcrew helmets, medals, etc).

At this point, I still tried my plan by recopying the old backup save files back into the documents/v15/ dir for my captain. Now, when I tried to load up the game and go to career, it was only showing the original 4 patrols done from the first backup of save files that I did, despite the actual save files being up to their number 11 (for 12th patrol) folders still in the proper place.

I've made a number of attempts to play around and "fix" the config files, which at one point I got the 11+12 patrol saves to show up, but clearly I am always missing something, because I am getting "changed base to : null" when trying to load a game repeat either infinitely or after clicking/entering enough times it will either CTD or attempt to load the save but because the save is in visual of a convoy, it crashes after finishing loading for 7 minutes.

For the moment, I've given up on trying to fix the .cfg files that would allow me to properly load up my 11 + 12 patrols, and stuck with starting back on the 5th patrol, but if anyone knows what exact items need to be fixed in order to properly access the 11th and 12th patrol save files (which again I still have the properly correct contents for the main save files in their directories "11" dir and "10" dir) but because access to those are tied to the config files in the directory it shares with the individual main save file directories is the wrong information, I can't load them up.

If not too much trouble, I would like to be able to fix the config files and be able to at least continue from even the start of patrol 12, either at the base or in a save on the 12th patrol before I make contact (which I usually have 3 saves for everyone patrol covering that [1 for for at the port, 1 for just out of the port area and traffic, and usually 1 on convoy sighting via radio]).

Lastly, yes, it was my mistake and fault in 2 cases where I accidentally uninstalled the LSH mod (which seems like it didn't really require a FULL reinstall), and not copying my save game backup properly, BUT, NONE of those mistakes would have even happen, if LSH wasn't so goddamn picky, buggy, and slow. If save games would actually load as they are supposed to than I would not have had to experience the headache, frustration, anger and 10+ hours trying to fix this mess all because save games only work in VERY specific conditions, which in stock, rarely did it matter what state you were in.

Anyways, as how I started, I am even more mad that this mod is so close to perfect that if it would just get a bit more work done to it as to the 3 issues I listed at the start, it would not only be the perfect mod, but save people lots of frustration and headaches.

To make matters WORSE, when I got so frustrated with LSH to give it up and go back to GWX and stock, I started playing each again a bit and was even just starting a new ironman campaign in stock SH3, full realism, I played for 2 days on 1 patrol, then on the 3rd day, I try to load up stock SH3 (no mods [expect d3d.dll for 4k res) it now crashes to desktop on loading up the main menu (same for GWX too)...so for now, the ONLY way I can play SH3 is LSH15 with backtracked 5th patrol and thus meaning I lost a ton of progress.

BTW, if anyone wants to help with my other SH3 issues, I already wrote up the details on this steam thread:

Hi Pomf
1) Ridiculous loading times (5-7mins for save games) The loading time is down to the quality of your rig.
LSH3-2015 is a big super mod.
3) Most picky and buggy mod when it comes to crashes and saving games (compared to say GWX) Never had a game ctd to date.
I only make 1 save game per gaming session.
I never save closer than 60km to any AI.

Hi Pomf
The loading time is down to the quality of your rig.
LSH3-2015 is a big super mod.



My rig is:

Win7 64 bit
i5
gtx 1070 8GB VRAM
16GB RAM

I don't see how the "quality" of my rig could be much better, save for an i7, which unless the modders put in specific code for hyperthreading (which I highly doubt or probably not even possible to do with the old code/engine).

I don't think I could complain if other supermods did have the same extremely long load times. For example, while GWX is a bit longer than stock to load, it is no where near as long as LSH. And when it comes down to it, even though LSH15 is much more recent, there really isn't that much "extra stuff", more ships and more planes, but not much more components apart form that. And if really all the extra variety and a few extra nations are what is causing the extreme load times, then they really should have just dropped them.

But anyways, I guess there is nothing that can be done about it as it doesn't seem like LSH is being worked on anymore. And I'll just have to be more careful about saving and backing up saves, but still doesn't change my frustration and my hesitation to play this mod simply due to the long load times and pickiness of saving issues.

Does anyone know where the markings for German aircraft tailwing are for LSH15?

I have become pretty good at uncensoring SH3, spending so much time in its file system and looking around and have managed to uncensor pretty much everything but the German tailwing markings.

The "Markings" folder in the "data" folder is for the horizontal wings as I have for sure confirmed (at least for one type of aircraft) as in my attempt to try to uncensor LSH, I used the GWX version, which I know has 4 symbols instead of 1 but I thought I would try it anyways. But anyways, I came across some German bombers where the GWX version markings was on the horizontal wings (with 3 crosses and 1 swastika grouped up in 1 texture), but even though that clearly isn't correct it showed that the tailwing marking must be separate for LSH15 because the tailwing was still just a single cross.


I've gone through all the folders in data multiple times, but can't seem to find the source of this. Anyone know...? Or is it each aircraft skin has to be edited? Which would really suck...

Also, You may want to defrag your Hard Drive.
2) Worst Destroyer AI off all the supermods (including stock) [even with extended challenge on]
The AI (and yours) Sensors seem to be very restricted.
If I go to the beach I can see (without visual aid) 25 foot boats a few miles away and know its a small Boat but in LSH3 your deck crew doesn't see 200 foot ships until around 9000 meters. So I agree with you here.
3) Most picky and buggy mod when it comes to crashes and saving games (compared to say GWX)
I've had Zero(0) CTD issues. Even after making a few tweaks to Sensor ranges.

Hi pomf
I have made 137 saved games to date with no ctd's either in game or loading.
I only make 1 game save per gaming session.
I use SH3Commander realistic career length option.
I have had 3 captains
Josef Rommel 12 patrols
Ernst Weppner 7 patrols
Kurt Halderbaum currently in patrol 8
47 game saves in total showing in the career menu 1939-1945
My saved game loading time to hearing sound in the Command Room is 4 minutes and 8 seconds.

Dear LSH3 players

By working out Edition 2017 we found a ugly bug in comabination with HSIE-Patch U-TANKER function.
(Keep in mind: In Edition 2015 HSIE-Patch is allways active!)


Bugfix: HSIE U-TANKER / CTD

! Highly recommended for all Edition 2015 players !

This Bugfix solves the problem by docking at U-TANKER and minimizes inexplicable game crashes.

Hi dear SH3 Friends

@ericlea
Tnx for your nice remarks.
The WWII Swastika Flags not exists in Edition 2015.
We (LSH) must respect the (silly!) EU law in this case.
To all Modder: Feel free to create and publish V15 compatible “Swastika” mods.

Best regards by Urmel

Hi !

It is more realistic for a historic game to play LSH with the Svastika flag on own u-boat and on all german ships. here is the mod :

is there a better readme out there on which mods to activate and in what order. its been awhile for me in the modding business and ive been bouncing and balancing work and modding SH 3, 4, and 5 as of late. i love LSH and ive installed it. im at the stage where JGSME is installed and activating mods. do i i have to patch the .exe file and do all that? i tried the PDF but it gives me a .404 error. also id like to know if TKSS18 Uboat comp will work or does anyone know of any issues working with LSH.

THEBERBSTER
12-17-16, 01:05 PM
Hi drakkhen
All you need to know is in my tutorial signature.
Mods should be enabled in the order that you see them in JSGME
You can add Ahnenerbe wide screen mod as an addition.
You can also add the additional HSIE O2 gauges.
You cannot add any other mods.
This mega mod is a complete entity and designed to work with complete stability.
do i i have to patch the .exe file and do all that? No.
The modders at LSH3 have done an excellent job as SH3Commander and the HSIE patches have all been setup for you.
If you are not making additional changes to the HSIE patches you do not even need to enable it as the default changes made in it for LSH3 automatically work.
The only downside is there is no manual for the 2015 version as there was for the original one.
The modders are German speakers and their knowledge of English is limited
This is why I decided to produce a hands on tutorial series so all basic aspects would be understandable by anyone.
LSH3 has one very unusual aspect which catches new players out after installing.
It is essential to go into the Naval Academy so it can build your V15 save game folder.
There is a basic installation manual in LSH3 covering installing and problem solving.
Included in the download are also 2 excellent PDF manuals covering SH3Commander and HSIE.

Hi drakkhen
i did the first training patrol and was ordered to transfer to the 2nd flotilla. when i did. it told me i was transfered to: (null) and had an OK button to push. when i pushed ok it did nothing Looks like you did something wrong?
'Null' can be an error message.
'Null' something selected that is not available!
'Null' can also lockup the game meaning having to use the Esc key.

So lets go through it.
You docked in Stralsund > yes?
You gave out your rewards > yes?
You picked up the telephone to transfer > yes?
Your transfer now has to be granted > why?
Because you have just finished your first test mission in the Eprobungstelle Flotilla.
Eprobungstelle is only used for testing purposes.
You have only 1 option where to transfer to at this point.
Flotilla 2
Tutorial Post #14 pictures 10 to 15 explains how to transfer.
When you dock at any future time you can transfer to a new Flotilla at any time, in theory every patrol.
In addition to Flotilla 2 this will include Flotilla 1 and Flotilla 7.
Transferring to different Flotilla's IIRC does not include any test missions.

also is Wises new uboat models compatible or will it work with LSH ? Highly unlikely AFAIK there are only 2 additional compatible mods that I am aware of.
However there is only one way to find out!

are these being converted into the new 2017 version ? The only information I am currently aware of is what can be seen in the LSH3-2017 YouTube videos.

12-18-16, 07:13 PM
Hi drakkhen
It does not sound like an install problem otherwise your game would not have loaded.
You went into the Naval Academy > Yes?
After exiting to the desk top you checked your Documents Folder and could see the V15 Save Game Folder > Yes?
When your game loaded for the very first time to the OFFICE you went straight to MAP and started the game load > Yes?
You must not go to the the Desk > U-boat management and make any changes.

Hi all

"null" means you are to early in historical game time/flot is not yet available.
In v15 u must absolve the first patrol by ERPROBUNGSSTELLE in real time means 4 days at sea.
This 4 day at sea plus the days u spend in harbor to transfere to another flotilla have to be 1 full month!
The earlyest date to start in 2.Flot have to be 1. September. Otherwise you see PQ=null.
Never play a patrol by "null", u can lost the whole career then.

Hello Peter,

Did you deactivate the Mod in the JSGME before editing the file?

For the edit to take effect you would...

1. Deactivate the Mod
2. Edit the Mod
3. Reactivate the Mod

Otherwise, yes, you would have to edit both copies of the file. The one in the MOD folder and the one in the games data folder.

ok so pretty much what your saying is after all the fresh install and confirming of the v15 file. start a career. go straight into patrol and dont come back until either 4 days out or september 1st ? then everything should be fine from that point on ? correct ?

CaptBones
12-23-16, 04:56 PM
drakkhen20...I think there is still a little confusion.

"go straight into patrol and dont come back until either 4 days out or september 1st ?"

No...if you are playing the "pre-war start" scenario, follow the orders... return to Stralsund not later than 2300 3 August as directed and transfer to the "Saltzwedel" (2nd) Flotilla in Wilhelmshaven. The game will move you to Wilhelmshaven and advance the calendar to 19 August and assign you to patrol grid AM18 to "await further orders." You should arrive in your patrol area and be there when the war starts on 1 September and you will get a B-Dienst contact report and new orders.

Alternatively, you can start your career in September and skip the whole training exercise. That also makes it possible to start in something other a Type VII. I started in a Type II "Canoe" and did a couple of patrols in the North Sea before I could "Fleet Up" to a Type VII.

Hope this helps...get out there and sink 'em all!:salute:

12-23-16, 05:48 PM
Hi drakkhen
go straight into patrol and dont come back until either 4 days out or september 1stIf you check out my tutorials you will see that after the installing you have to go to the Naval Academy as this sets up your V15 save game folder in your documents.
Check out my Tutorial 13 this covers the first test mission.
Picture 9 not only shows you your orders but tells you when you can return to Stralsund.
This takes place about a month before the outbreak of war.
The time period depends on whether you have changed to randomized bunker time in SH3Commander rather than a set number of fixed days.
You can start your first test patrol at this time in a IIA or a VIIB by making the selection from SH3Commander.
All this and much more in my tutorials.

Hi gutted
Yes you can, but with one exception.
When it comes to the test missions disable Ahnenerbe's mod first and replace it with the default widescreen mod.
After transferring swap back over again before starting your new mission.
Ahnenerbe's mod is not compatible with the LSH3 transfer system.

Hello everyone, I just had a quick question in regards to a CTD I've been experiencing and I'm not sure how to reverse.

I installed everything by the book, and was able to play for several days without an issue, with only these mods installed:

_LSH3-2015__FULLVERSION
_LSH3-2015__HistoricalMessages
_LSH3-2015__NoFatigue-NoSleepCrew
_LSH3-2015__GUI_WIDESCREEN
_LSH3-2015__SLS_SpecialEffects
_LSH3-2015____Patch_HSIE-V16B1

Earlier today I decided I wanted to try the Type VII/42 so I went into Commander and started a new file with the year and sub type I wanted. After playing for about an hour, I experienced a CTD doing nothing in particular except cruising towards a waypoint. After trying to reload the save with constant CTD upon load, I decided to just delete that save and go back to playing my main career. However now, whenever I load up that save, I also get CTD. I've tried disabling all of the mods I was using and reloading them one by one to see if a particular mod was causing an issue, but I got nothing. Aside from completely deleting and reinstalling everything, I'm not sure what else I should do. Any help would be appreciated!

I should note, my main career was never handled by Commander at all, just the new one I wanted to play around with before deleting. My computer specs are as follows:

Windows 10 Home x64
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING
Intel Core i5 4670k @ 4.0GHz
EVGA GTX 1070 Superclocked 8GB VRAM
2x8, 2x16 GB Corsair Vengance DDR3 1600 RAM (total 24GB)

Ok did that, started at the Erprobungsstelle sunk the 2 ships - returned to Stralsund abd got transfered to Wilhelmshafen. From what i read i had to save the game restart it and load the game "before patrol". So did i and set up my Boat with the G7e Torpedos. First time i got the CTD in the loading screen. I tried to load it again, set up the G7e Torpedos and it worked...Guess it was a random CTD then?:06:

Your problem seems a bit unusual as LSH3 is 99.99% stable.
I have done over 70 game saves and many upgrades in different boats without any problems.
Check out my tutorials and see if you followed my instructions.
It will be interesting on your next mission if you get the same problem again.

Ahoi!!! Now i got the proper Thread :D

I have a question, isnt the Mod setable to a resolution of 1920x1080 ? Because i got problems with that (UI is not correct displayed, see picture on my homepage, link below), only the preset Resolution of the widescreen Mod works but thats not native for me and when i tried out the grey Wolves and used another Resolution Mod 1920x1080 was running without problems. So i wonder if i did something wrong and you could maybe help me.

I allready did/checked the following:
This link leads to pictures of my Problem on my Homepage
http://www.pieperswelt.de/interner-bereich/downloads/

1. Before i posted here i allready did the Nvidia settings
2. i installed the widescreen Mod of the LSH Mod

Hi Croshy
Your gpu settings are correct so there is an issue elsewhere.
Notice the settings in my d3d9 have not been changed from the default settings.

The other place to look is in the picture below.
Main Menu > Options > Video
Full screen must be showing ticked.
https://s23.postimg.org/5q5rx6g0r/SH3_Img_21_1_2017_16_27_0_177.jpg

Your original Game Option Graphic Settings should be set to 1920 x 1080 60HZ when you first loaded the game before the game loads to the Command Room.

The best time to make these Graphic changes is after installing the game and before entering the Naval Academy to set up your V15 save game folder.

but where do i set the Resolution ?! is set the Resolution in main.cfg in SH3\MODS\_LSH3-2015___FULLVERSION\data\Cfg and in SH3\data\Cfg now and reactivated the mod files now. the UI is correct but i can not see any visual enhancement. when making the changes in the d3d9.cfg to 1920x1080 from default DisplayWidth=1360
DisplayHeight=768 i can see a change but the UI was not correct. But when using the 1360x768 the inage is not sharp as it is not the native Resolution and Full HD...

I allow myself to post your reply from the old forum tread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2459344#post2459344 to quote it and center the discussion in one thread:

When _LSH3-2015_GUI_WIDESCREEN is added it knows it has to go from 4.3 to 16.9
In theory this setting should also be replicated in the LSH3-2015 Option Graphic Setting screen 1920 x 1080 although it may not show the correct HZ rate.
The correct setting can be applied from the settings showing in the drop down box.
"The correct setting can be applied from the settings showing in the drop down box." but where is that drop down. i do not understand where you make theese settings, ingame? isthere a settings manager or something ? do you maybe have a screenshot ? i am too blind it seems

Hi Croshy
My sincere apologies I mixed up SH3 and SH4.
The only video option is the Full screen tick box as I described before.

Hopefully you made a copy of your last SH3 install.
Make another copy of it, install JSGME and try running an un-modded SH3 game with just the Ahnenerbe's 1920 x 1080 Wide Gui Final mod in JSGME.
Enter one of the Naval Academy's options and see if you get a full screen.
Your Video Option should be showing a tick in the Full Screen recognizing that you have the mod enabled.

I have been playing Silent Hunter IV for a while but could never get quite warm with the pacific campaign. Then I saw Silent Hunter III on a steam sale and jumped on the boat.

I searched in the internet for a mod to fix the resolution and maybe add some antialiasing and then found this mod which is more then I ever wanted.

Problem is. The last two days were a nightmare.

I used the complete installer package. The installer told me I couldn't install the mod in my SH3 folder. Took me hours to find out that the installer doesn't like the "Programms (x86)" folder. Great start...

Anyways. I copied the game to another folder and the installer worked.
I added the main mod file (LSH3 2015 Fullversion) and the GUI widescreen mod. I started up the game and half of the buttons were all over the place. I couldn't start a campaign because the start button was missing.
Great again...

I deactivated the widescreen mod and all buttons were accessable.
I started a new campaign and the loading screen got stuck very close at the end. It would load for ever but nothing would happen. Exiting the game impossible. I had to turn off the computer.
One time it worked. After 10 minutes of loading the game went to a black screen telling me something like "good hunt". (I don't remember) However nothing happend afterwards. Me clicking on the screen and hammering buttons caused the game to crash to desktop eventually.
Since then the campaign does load to 3/4 (taking very very long) and then crashes to desktop.

No hope in sight.

I searched the entire internet for a solution. But the myths have it that LSH3 is unsinkable and no such things as crashes exist.

Btw: I didn't use an old savegame. My PC specs are allright and my screenresolution really is 1920x1080

Then I saw Silent Hunter III on a steam sale and jumped on the boat.LSH3-2015 is not compatible with Steam.

I started a new campaign and the loading screen got stuck very close at the end. Itappears that you have a compatibility with the Windows version you are using.
Since then the campaign does load to 3/4 (taking very very long) and then crashes to desktop. LSH3 does not like Windows 10 and needs to run in compatibility mode for Windows 7.
SH3.exe > SH3Commander > JSGME, run all these as administrator's.

Btw: I didn't use an old savegame What old save game?
The only saved games you can use are the ones you will create in LSH3-2015
Your first instruction is to go to the Naval Academy and setup the V15 save game folder.
Follow my LSH3-2015 Tutorial instructions and you will be heading in the right direction and save yourself a lot of wasted time.

But it doesnt work together with LSH3, then there is the same problem, game is 1920x1080 but the GUI of LSH3 is not correct as you can see when you look through the binoculars, see Comparison Pictures i added on my Homepage http://www.pieperswelt.de/interner-bereich/downloads/ the lowest 4

So there is still the question is this mod really playable in 1920x1080 as it seems just playable in 1360x768 (Stock if Widescreen Mod)

Thank you Theberbster!

I used the compatibility mode for both jgsme and the game istself and now it works. Loading does take forever though and I haven't tried widescreen yet.

I can confirm it does work with the steam version. You have to copy the game folder to another directory for the mod to install though.

Hi Croshy
Looking at your pictures have you added any additional mods?
One of your pictures makes me think it is still a gpu issue, possibly maybe a driver one.
Regarding LSH3-2015
Check your LSH3-2015 file downloads
Check the number of bytes against the files you downloaded as against those showing in LSH3.com.

I've been playing LSH3 for the past few weeks and absolutely love it. Thanks to the team for all the work they've put in to make this great megamod.

I have a few questions about things I've come across that maybe someone can help me with:

1. How to you switch the external flag (the shift+f, crtl+f) to a historical one with the swastika? I don't know if this is possible, but would like to know....

2. During my career the only side emblem I can select is the Flotilla's. Is there a way I can select from the list of side emblems available in stock and GWX?

3. I seem to have alot more torpedoes run deep than in my years of playing GWX- is this normally, possibly modelled to reflect a stricter reflection of the their historical reliability?

4. I can't seem to use a mod to change the officers icons. Is their any officer icon mods I can use to change the ones that come with LSH3 2015?

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK you cannot have a Swastika on your boat only on others.
More side emblem's will become available in time and will depend on your Flotilla and U-boat type.
Historically there were a lot of problems with torpedoes in the early part of the war.
Attacking in wind speeds of 15m/s is a waste of time.
You can change the officers icons at the bottom of the screen but you cannot change the default icons in their stations IIRC.
let me know if you are interested and I will dig it out for you.
Check out my tutorials for other useful information.

Thanks THEBERBSTER for you quick reply.

Yes, I'm in November 1940 and I'm having lots of my torpedoes run deep (about 25% to 50%). I guess I will just have to wait for Bdu to resolve the issues.

I was looking to change just the officer icons in the lower corner. I'm also using the OLC GUI- so that maybe preventing any of the icon mods from working?

Thanks THEBERBSTER very much for you detailed and easy to follow instructions and tutorials, I've used them alot!

Hi Folks,
I've got the same problem as Croshy.

I can't get LHS3 2015 to work with the resolution of 1920x1080. The game runs, but the loading screen, the menu and the gui are not displayed correctly.

Ahnenerbe's mod did not work either.

LHS3 only works correctly for me in the resolution of 1360x768, which looks really bad and keeps me from wanting to play this awesome supermod.

I used to play SH3 years ago vanilla and with mods, especially GWX, in 1920x1200 with the common "widescreen fix" and it worked flawlessly.

Is there any way to play LHS3 in 1920x1080? (Or even better for me in 1920x1200)?

Hi Guys
With Ahnenerbe's 1920 x 1080 Final mod you will not get a totally filled screen.
The dials will be correct as being completely round.
I never found it a problem to be honest.
The mod is designed to be used with the RAOBF wheel IIRC.

In LSH, to have the Swastika flag on its u-boot as well as on all other german ships, the simplest is to activate this mod :

Hi gord
It is already installed and the default patches for LSH3-2015 are already enabled so you do not need to do anything unless you wish to make changes to your game play.
See my tutorial post 15 Picture 1
Any further changes will increase the difficulty level.
HSIE needs to be showing as disabled in JSGME before making any manual changes to it.
