War Ace Campaign (WAC) 5.0 2017

[jscharpf]

i have a question : is it not possible to use the full interior mod together with a widescreen mod due to RAM limitations that may cause a CTD or they are simply not compatible ?

I had no problems running wide screen with the full interior views. I have 16G of ram. Sure, loading times are long, but never a crash.

I'm sure others may have problems.

Thank you Anvar, should we be putting this in as a mod after everything else?

What happens if we don't? What does that line statement do?

Is it included in the 5.01 installation file?

Two questions from newbie of WAC:
1. How to measure range using periscope view?
2. Is it possible to make Manos widescreen gui version for 1680x1050 resolution for 22" monitors?


As old user of GWX I like WAC very much :up:

I installed WAC a couple of weeks ago and it has been rock steady stable with no CTD to date. I have only had one problem and it is minor and does not happen all the time. Sometimes when I switch to the bridge station The uniforms and faces of the bridge crew seem to take on a neon glow appearance. Sometimes exiting the bridge to another station then coming back the crew appears normal. Sometimes going to mouse look then clicking to lock the view gets rid of it.


I am guessing that it is related to my current video driver or some setting on my Nvidia control panel I have overlooked. If any one else has had this problem and knows how to fix it I'd appreciate knowing how you did it.

Using a GTX 960M 4Gb card and 16gb of memory

I see the same thing, it only happens occasionally, and if I just move around to different views, everything is fine again.
I have very similar specs as you do.


Jscharpf,
Updated my Nvidia drivers to the latest version last week and the problem of the neon looking crew has not shown up since....hopefully :03:

ooo nice.. I can't wait to actually do a black sea campaign. I've never done it in any version of SH3. I always started in 1939, never got far enough to consider "completing" a campaign, so I just never even saw the black sea in SH3 :)

Maybe someday soon..

[HanSolo78]

@Anvar1061

Thank you for the nice finding! :Kaleun_Applaud::Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Much better than the converted SH4 model that I have here.



@jscharpf

I am working on the final sequences, right now I think.
But one thing that I will not do is to write a whole new radio traffic.
Although it would add some immersion - this is too much work.

I believe that if you delete data / Menu / en (de) _menu.txt from the mod, then everything should work out. In case of love, it is very important to register ports 750 =... 764=... correctly, etc. You have a chance to experience it.

I tried to adapt the black sea campaign for WAC. The task was not as simple as at first glance. Many countries that are involved in the GWX project are missing. And therefore you need to add their flags, bases, airfields with ships and aircraft. There is no important participant of those events-the submarine of the class "Schuka" as a part of USSR. Perhaps there is a way to distinguish from all traffic only the Black sea, but I do not know how to do it correctly. But I'm halfway to progress.
It is possible to go another way:

I have never used this tool.
I need time to figure this out and probably your help.

@Anvar1061

I ported Pouls campaign to WAC 5.x (already working here) and added some other stuff like you see in the updates.
There will be be new buildings, new units.. approximately about 50 new units altogether!
Release will be definitely before christmas!

Has anyone got it running with a widescreen mod!? I tried Ahnenerbe mod and that does not work, game won't start. I would be thankful for an answer. Thx to HanSolo78 again for this awesome work.:Kaleun_Applaud:
And is the game working for someone? Museum CTD after 90% , same with missions. I think I have done everything required - PC is very strong and 4 GB patch is also used.

Thx I will keep the file. My main prob now is that the mod don't run with or without widescreen (everything I wanna load CTD's at 90%) so maybe I will never be able to use it.:wah:

[divemonkie]

I have everything up and running...tested on quick mission.
very intense! :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up: smoke so thick you lose sight of your targets.


only problem Im having is landscape is all black...everything else looks great no weird artifacts or glitches, just all black landscape.

any ideas...graphics setting maybe?

@divemonkie
Anvar1061 made a possible fix: https://www.mediafire.com/file/5ywfy99tpx7q3oi/Terrain_Fix_by_Anvar1061.7z/file

If it doesn't work try to change graphics setting.

@OGHase

If it CTD with no other mods in single missions or campaign there is something with the installation.
Naval academy does work?

Most likely the 4gb patch isn't installed properly.
Try to delete all SH3 manually, even in your windows documents folder. Then make a new install with a different name.

I'd run into a number of problems.

Wasn't running as well as I'd thought🤒 DOH!...went back to GWX, for now. I just wish I could get that level of graphics and intense aggressive fire power out of GWX as I saw in WAC... I'll keep trying maybe when I take some time off.

cheers:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

[HanSolo78]

@Nik112

Have a look into the folder NCA_Tuscaloosa.
There is the NCA_Tuscaloosa.cfg which shows the nescessary file names for the campaign files:

[Unit]
ClassName=CLNOrleans
UnitType=7
MaxSpeed=32.5
Length=169
Width=18.9
Mast=44.8
Draft=5.95
Displacement=12300
RenownAwarded=430


It could be every unit causing this CTD. A missing or wrong unit in the campaign files is not very likely, but should be investigated.

[nik112]

OK Which way i'll find what caused the ctd?



Thanks Hans

cheers

[HanSolo78]

That is very difficult to determine!

1. you could try Silen Hunter Validator or mySH3-TooL_v1 to examine campaign file problems

2. you could examine every ship in the scripted campaign file of operation torch manually by opening the properties with me mission editor. If it crahes then there is a wrong ship type.

3. you could do this also with the random campaign file and examine the groups entering operation torch. here you will find problems manually if a ship is chosen in the group which does not exist, then the ship name will change immediately if you open a group.

Otherwise there can be many many things that cause ctd.. a wrong plane eqipment, wrong plane chosen on carrier, etc.

Hello!

Short question:

Has this ever happened to someone?

The destroyers spawn with their aft deck deep into water even in calm seas.

Sometimes the aft deck is even deeper in the sea.

Seems this problem only occurs with the Frog's integrated destroyers

Got this from start of my carrer till now

That did it. and loaded faster too. Thank you :Kaleun_Cheers: and another for fixing my Magui :Kaleun_Cheers: I got uzoo back {shift-U} and flags
Now ill try the terrain fix

[divemonkie]

Few more questions.
I saw somewhere here (70 pages) about a night effect like a negative photo...im have problems with, I can't find the post.

Still have black terrain. Saw something about FFA? What is that.

was sent to patrol AO98 in september 1939 in my IID, tubes ran dry...used up flak gun.

Had to slink my way into a safe port.
To re_arm. I was sunk soon after being greedy, stupid. 🙄
Very intense...lots of action it really does turn sh3 into a whole new sim.

[Niume]

Has anyone got WAC working with stiebler patch? I am struggling at a moment.

[Niume]

I noticed that there are a lot of high tonnage ships going unescorted and very slow. Sank Atlantic cruise ship worth of 50000 GRT.

What year and location.
It might not be all that unusual early in the war to see big ships unescorted.

I took part in the invasion of Poland.
After tubes ran dry I hung out to watch the battles and send contact reports. A lot of big ships making a run for it... Convoys lightly cuverd.

In 1940 near straits of Gibraltar. Still i think these high tonnage ships should have atleast high speed like 15 knots or more.

sure he wasn't a neutral? I know they'll egnor me for the most part...or they''ll rat me out. I've been spoted several times and soon after comes the plans or DD's sniffing around
ether way its a nice catch. let us know if you keep catching em :Kaleun_Cheers:

[HanSolo78]

@Niume

I have to agree with you. Thex should run over 15 knots.
I will have a look into the random layer!

[divemonkie]

Seem to be having a problem with my IID has unlimited range even after my tanks run dry.

[Niume]

Some ships still go with lights in convoys

[divemonkie]

yea, i think its neutral ships identifying themselves as such, problem is their giving up the location of the convoy, this is a tough one, historically i think neutral countries traveled by convoy but im not sure how in sh3 you could put their lights out...other than sinking em.

[FUBAR295]

Well, if it means anything, last night I was playing the Mittelmeer Campaign and sunk a neutral coastal merchant. It was at night, it was traveling with no lights on, no flag and also had a gun mounted on the stern. Had two large crates, one on the forward hold and the other on the stern hold, possibly hiding additional guns. I honestly thought this was a Q ship. Was able to get within 1800 m submerged before firing torpedoes and was able look over the target minutely.

Not sure if that is how WAC5 sets up neutral shipping, but if a neutral does not want to be sunk, the above scenario would not be the way to travel. I play a lot with NYGM, and have not encountered a neutral ship in transit like the above mentioned.

Good Hunting,

I have installed this nice mega mod, to be able to use those awesome new subs looking.
Everything runs fine, except a graphic glitch on the sub rear.
The rear deck is slightly off the hull! :o
On side note, when i tried the German U-Boats Compilation 2 (only VIIB & VIIC models by WISE) on top of GWX, exact same glitch is here.

Is there a fix for this weird visual glitch?
Am i alone to see that??
(I can post a screen shot if needed)

ÉDIT: I can see this deck glitch only for VIIB. It seems VIIC is perfect.

It affect only type VIIB...not really nice to the eye for the best looking sub ever in SH3! :D

Hope somebody could solve this :up:

PS: it’s not coming from your nice mod or a corrupted file, as i got the exact same glitch using German u-boat compilation 2 mod on top of GWX.

[ivanov.ruslan]

Strange, i have never noticed such a thing before :hmmm:


This is compilation 2 with Stock SH3

[Fifi]

:hmmm:

I have the regret to report an other graphic bug with same sub VIIB type...

When you rotate the UZO and leave it, back in the attack periscope view (the one before accessing the TDC) you find the periscope seat rotated same direction you have left the UZO. So far it’s normal.
But the periscope clock cadrant is off its support! In fact it doesn’t follow the periscope rotating and is still in his original position.

I can give a screen shot if needed :yep:

[Fifi]

Here is what i mean:

http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2018/45/2/1541499499-sh3img-6-11-2018-9.jpg

The clock support is empty, because the clock cadrant didn't move with the periscope.

Just realised that the periscope buttons didn't follow as well !! ...

I'm not using other mods than WAC's ones.
Hope it could be solved one day :salute:

[Anvar1061]

That's what I said above.If you look closely at the Turms from Compilation-2, you will see the lack of a deck. I do not recommend installing this mod until it is finished.

[HanSolo78]

@Fifi

Well.. I just checked... and I have none of your problems... even with only WAC5.0 & (full interior also tested) installed... no deck and hull problem and no chronograph problem.

:o
Damn, i don’t understand...
I have GWX and NYGM installed with the Compilation 2, and i get those problems...but it’s normal as Anvart just told me (mod not finished)

But WAC doesn’t need this Compilation 2 as it is already included!
And i’m Running WAC only with your WAC mods (except the new SH5 water - but it can’t be problem related)
So i really don’t see what’s going on...

Are you sure you tried the VIIB type??
The VIIC is ok :yep:

PS: could it be because i run GWX/NYGM/WAC without the multi install?
I just rename my documents/SH3 folder each time...

[Anvar1061]

I highly recommend installing SH3Multi. It does not take much time and will save you from unnecessary problems in the future.

God damn, i regret to say i’m Stupid :haha:

I used the MultiSH3 install, and BINGO! —-> all is fine again :up:

In fact, it seems my WAC was using mods elsewhere :o
And i’m Twice stupid because my WAC was running an ARB Wide Gui and i didn’t have it installed for WAC! :o
I’m so used to this gui i didn’t even noticed it :haha:

So forget about my stupidity on this one please :oops:

WAC is REALLY nice mod :salute:

Hummm... Is it normal ships seems to float over horizon from long distance?
Never saw that in GWX or NYGM :06:

Ok :up:

If i understand, with MEP there is no more ships floating...
That’s why its first time i see that, because was always using MEP in GWX and NYGM :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

[ThePrody]

i think all non-20 km environments have floating ships also .

[ivanov.ruslan]

I think no http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=221960

[Fifi]

MEP V6 is a 20km environment and i still have floating ships :hmmm:

ÉDIT:

SOLVED! In fact just had to activate MEP V6 alone at the end of list without any add on for visual sensors.
If activating Visual sensor for WAC 4.1 (found in MEP download) i still get floating ships...
I prefer a lot this way because floating ships are a game breaker for me.

[Fifi]

Well, finally got it working pretty stable, but wasn’t easy... :)
It is very computer memory demanding for the least :o
I think my rig is just enough powerful to run it... even TWOS is lighter i think!
TWOS loading times are even faster, that’s quite incredible...

Anyway, after first patrol in September 39, what could i say?
I’m just amazed :Kaleun_Applaud:
Didn’t even though SH3 could be brought at this level :o
Graphically speaking, best U-Boat i’ve Seen in any SH (same level as TWOS)
Spécial effects are great, even better than TWOS...(smoke, fires, sinking behaviors etc)
Sounds are almost perfect to me. Just my watch officer is speaking but nothing to be heard sometimes. I can adjust that, it’s the YES SIR missing.
Damage model when depth charged is nice too, and we can at least manage it :D

Now, i think there are way too much life everywhere. But that’s my own opinion.
I had to avoid ennemies for first time in a silent hunter!
Ships are spawning everywhere on my path to my patrol grid (mainly Polish)
And i’m Quite surprised to find plenty escorted Polish convoys in 1939 :o

Anyway, WAC is magnificent and plenty of good surprises...so many little nice touch that are missing in others mega mods :up:

PS: what is GWX detection add on mod exactly?

[Fifi]

No need the whole MEP V6 folder to get back ships on horizon ligne.
Just the scene.dat, this way we can keep WAC’s original colors and effects.
I even have edited MEP scene.dat to keep WAC’s waves height, harmonics etc
Now it is perfect to me :yep:

Sorry Fifi, I just saw your MOD LIST in post #1070.

[Kelly621]

I was looking at the WAC optional mods for Harbor Winter, Xmas Harbor and Late War Harbor thinking I could use the date function in SH3 Commander to set them up to load into WAC automatically at the correct time of the year then revert back to the default look over the other months over the course of the war.

I have another month before I get my leg out of this dam cast so have plenty of time to fool with it. Not sure what would be a good start date for the Late War Harbor mod?

Hi,

- yes, but just to make sure to get full memory if something goes wrong :D
Anyway they can work together, i did it plenty of time without problems. It seems they don’t interfere each other.

- yes you have to patch first. All info in the read me files inside mod, or just google it...

I know this has been written somewhere in this thread but I've somehow missed it That being said, I'm trying to get all my ducks lined up for a run at WAC 5,01. is this the correct instructions for enabling the H.sie patches. I found this on the internet. thank you all for the help.

1 -Copy your original (unpatched) sh3.exe into "V16B1-Patch-Kit"

2- now in "V16B1-Patch-Kit", Start Patch_SH3.bat. If your sh3.exe is compatible, it will be patched.

3- Immer in "V16B1-Patch-Kit", start HsieOptionsSelector.exe in order to individually enable/disable the fixes as you like. This tool also allows to apply the 4GB-Patch.

4- Put the patched sh3.exe von "V16B1-Patch-Kit" into "WAC5.0 H.sie Supplement to V16B1_Atlantic_Baltic_Campaign"

5 - active the mod "WAC5.0 H.sie Supplement to V16B1_Atlantic_Baltic_Campaign" with jsgme

Hi everybody :Kaleun_Salute:
I need some tips or suggestions from u. Ive played now GWX 3.0 and LSH 15 with a VII sub. Now i wanna start a new career with an IX sub for the WAC mod.
So i need ur help: which parts of the mod do i need to install and in which order so that i got a comfortable and stable game (no CTD).
Ive read that both the full interior and the ahnenerbe wont work together. So which one do u prefer ? Walking threw the sub with "low" graphics or the better resolution ?

Beforehand a big :Kaleun_Applaud: for all of u :up:

[Fifi]

It seems i found some game loading stability without SH3 Commander.

So questions :hmmm:

- is the WAC5 campaign different without SH3 Commander?

- is there any additional trouble running WAC5 without SH3 Commander?

- Running actually WAC5 without Commander, the crew doesn’t get any fatigue.
Is it normal with stock WAC5?
If yes, that’s perfect as it’s all i wanted...

Something i really like in WAC that i have never seen in any SH so far, it’s the way convoys ships are sailing.
They are not « on rails », meaning they don’t keep exact same heading inside the convoy! And it seems they are changing slightly speed also...to match leader general spead and heading :o
Just as i believe they would have behave in RL...
Not to say it’s way more difficult to hit :D

Fantastic job on this Han Solo! :Kaleun_Applaud:

[ericlea]

Right Fifi, without sh3 commander it seems to be more stable. i will continue to test !
And thanks, with your modified scene.dat (only use this folder from MEP6) Ships do not fly any more above the horizon. it is better :-)

What resolution supports your monitor ?

All with JSGME


What resolution supports your monitor ?

1920x1080

so install sh3 + 1.4b
then JSGME
create new "mod" file (WAC)
and extract all others (e.g. sound, GUI) in that folder
then enable it ?!

[jscharpf]

A couple of questions.

1. I don't see an AOB disc anywhere. Just want to make sure this is not my mistake.

2. On the navmap there is a pull down disk near the top center. It is clear, but has two sets of marks from 0-360. It looks exactly like the disk in SH5 where you can hold the control key down and roll the mouse, causing one of the scales to rotate. This allows you to get the true bearing to the target. I really liked that feature. On this map, however, it does nothing. Is there a secret key to turn the outer dial?

3. What is the best way to figure out true bearing? I mean if my ship is facing heading 275 and I see a ship bearing 5 degrees, I know on the map it would be at 280.. other versions of the game have this built into the map when you zoom in so you can see your ships bearing.. Is there a method that I am missing?

Sorry if I'm not clear. I love the mod! I've chosen to go with the widescreen and not the full interior, also I am not running SH3 Commander. Game seems great!

With optimized ARB ahnenerbe widegui for wac5 :
For aob dials, go to command room f2, left clic on shoot officer, then with the mouse go on top of the screen and you will have 3 différent aob dial.
If you left clic on card officer, on top right you will have another dial.
And of course you have aob rings inside periscope f3 at top, same at obs periscope.

All tools from Magui F (thanks makman !) are in optimized ARB ahnenerbe widegui for wac5.

Anyone who wants to test patch 5.2?
No need to test special things.... only playing.

Is 5.2 a patch or a complete install?
I'd enjoy running your work Mate.

Hello everyone. I absolutely love this add-on for SH3!

However, I seem to have hit a snag in early 1939. Loading a previous game causes a CTD. I keep about 4 saves in chronological order, each one far enough away from the previous save such that if one save crashes I can move "away" from that area and pick up a previous save.

This time it did not work, each and every save caused a CTD during loading.

Ironically, I think I had used at least one of those saves previously to get into the game, so the save itself doesn't seem to bad. I just seems like once the game decides to to this (CTD during load) it doesn't matter how many saves you have.

I even tried changing some of the mods, thinking maybe one was causing it, but nope..

If anyone has any ideas/solutions, it is greatly appreciated.


For now I'm going to start with a complete re-install.

When a save CTD, usually second load try right away is successful...but with more than 8 minutes each time, it’s annoying :yep:

i think if you add that optional mod from MEP it will mess up your colors, they wont look like in the original mod .

if you have nvidia just make sure AA is max at 4x and gamma correction is off and the sun will not be small .

Thanks, i do as you write but it is the same, sun remains very small.

Also - where can I find WAC5.x smaller waves, or is it superseded by any of the above listed mods?



Thanks!

enough protected and bunkers were built only from the beginning of 1941...

I just cant get this awesome Mod to run stable no matter what ?

[Niume]

Han would be cool if you would add more aircraft ? I only see like two types of aircraft. Needs a bit more variety and make them so they get spotted closer.
I noticed that it's very easy to escape destroyers just go 1 knot and silent running and you are always safe.

[propbeanie]

CaptJulius, are you using the LAA (Large Address Aware) (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2452635#post2452635) applet with your SH3? Also, if your Save is from a different set-up than what you are running, that can cause issues.

Hello have you the date, location, wind speed, depth ?

Are you testing wac5.2 or it is wac5.1 ?

[Niume]

1940-1941 around 120 meters wind not higher then 10m/s. Wac 5.2 i think I am using mep

[CaptJulius]

1941 June, hunting with my IXC near Africa Freetown , noticed many times that some ships sink on their own with some time or some get stuck like above water , is this common bug ? Also destroyers tend to sink alot like Flower class corvette or C , V , W class destroyers they just sink on their own. :k_confused:

Thanks! :up: I have another couple of questions if u dont mind.

Why i cant select 3rd Flotilla which is based in La Rochelle in SH3 Commander 1941 or 1942 there just isnt an option to select it ?

Or should i stop using SH3 Commander with WAC ?

There is also [NEFloodF] which also has Crash Depth=1 should this be changed also maybe this stops some merchants from bugging out ? :06:

in wac5 without sh3 commander, 3rd Flotilla is availaible from 01/1942 but you are right :
with sh3 commander (+WAC_5.0_CommanderMod) 3rd Flotilla is available only from 01/1943....I dont' know why lol :k_confused:
for question about [NEFloodF] which also has Crash Depth=1 ..... i don't know.

[CaptJulius]

Thats so strange , maybe someone knows why we cant select certain flotillas in SH3 Commander ? :hmmm:

[ericlea]

be careful in wac5 without sh3 commander, you can't select 3rd Flotilla before 01/1942 too. 1939-1940-1941 it is not possible because La Rochelle basis no built. (Even if in real 3rd Flotilla has moved there in 11/1941)

and with sh3 commander you have to wait 1 more year : available only at 01/1943 that is the mistery lol

1944 SW from England, there are a lot of different types of aircraft ! For me it is good !

And go near Scapa Flow 1940, you will have a lot of planes and different types too :-)

[CaptJulius]

Oh im so waiting for 5.2 full release , hope many bugs got squashed out :yep:

[ericlea]

Yes yes bugs are solved in 5.2 :-)

Hi guys!

Happy new year to all !! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Unfortunately I am too busy to read posts right now... so.. a small gift because the missing release from the black sea campaign... a new trailer:

https://war-ace-campaign.webnode.at/news/black-sea-preview-trailer-2/

[Niume]

Amazing work. Did you created the models yourself? Because they look beautifull.The patrol boats look good and more merchants is great, because we can't never have enough targets. I didint knew that we are getting this big of expansion. I need to test the black sea campaign.
P. S Would be nice to have wac 5.0 environment with ships over horizon feature like mep v6.
Would be nice if it would be included in the patch. http://brat01.mybb.by/viewtopic.php?id=197&p=17#p93556

[Fifi]

Something i noticed every time i go back to base from patrol:
Approaching Wilhelmshaven at TC X32, i get a sound bug (like a huge « pschuuuuut ») and i can see in my binoculars boats in fire in the harbor...with red flares fired everywhere.

I suppose it’s a spawning issue in the harbor, because no ennemies around (ships or aircrafts)

There are so many ships in and around harbor, it’s kind of normal such issue happen :yep:
Maybe reducing the number of boats and activity in harbors could lighten the game for everyone, and avoid spawning issue...(not say occasional CTDs)

Playing WAC 5.2 test:

@Niume

Most units were convertef from russian SH4 mod 'Soviet Waterway'.
It will be a big expansion with over 5p nrw units.
I am thinking of a seperate thread.

@Fifi

The burning ships in harbours have to do with the numbers, time compression and distance to the pier. All this together means.. To avoid the burning ships there it is necessary to use time compression with only 8x at around 50km around big harbours.

Ah ok, next time i will take even more time :D
X8 is really slow :)
Thanks for reply!

[Fifi]

Ok this time i came back with TC X8 but still big mess in Wilhelmshaven...
At exact 24km from harbor i got huge sound bug and smoke in harbor (X mark)
I went back outside the circle, and tried again to see if i could reproduce it.
Second time at exact same distance got the sound bug again...and probably more damage inside harbor.

I just can't come back at TC1, it's too much time waster.

In my opinion, you really should try to decrease the harbor ships number.
Why not make an add on mod with less boats in harbor?
WAC is so beautiful, but this issue is immersion killer IMHO :yep:

PS: I can go TC X125 radius 35 Km from harbor without any issue. After that i went X8

[ericlea]

Hi Fifi,



in WLHF (only in this big and beautiful harbour), try Optimized WAC5.2 WideScreensGUI 1920x1080 Ahnenerbe :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xohesnpn47oe70p/Optimized%20WAC5.2%20WideScreensGUI%201920x1080%20 Ahnenerbe.7z?dl=0

this is a without full map version.



1900x1080 widegui + full map eats a lot of RAM and can cause CTD or other problems.


in all other harbours, no problem with ARB widegui 1900x1080

:Kaleun_Cheers:

[Fifi]

Ok Ericlea, i will try it for next patrol :up:

I will report if any trouble.

[Fifi]

Tried with other gui without full map.

Exact same trouble when approaching Wilhelmshaven even at TC X8. Sound bug and ships in fire in harbor when passing the 24 Km line.

So it’s not a RAM problem.
My new PC has 16 Gb Ram and video card is a 6 GB.
Plus have the 4 Gb patch activated.

[HanSolo78]

@Fifi

Units are spawned earlier... go to tc 8x at 50km.
Otherwise you could "beam" to base.
It does not make sense decreasing units in my opinion... a huge harbour with only 5-10 boats!? :hmmm:

What do you mean by « beam »?...

Decreasing harbor units as an add on mod only ...for lots of people who doesn’t have high end PC :yep:
Just a thought...it could be nice. In fact the inverse of NYGM! :D

[J0313]

I cannot for the life of me get WAC to run. I get a CTD about 2 or 3 seconds into the black initializing screen then, Boom!

Here is my mod list

WarAceCampaign 5.0
HsieOptionsSelector_V16C
WarAceCampaign Patch_5.2
WAC5.0 H.sie Supplement to V16B1_Atlantic_Baltic_Campaign
Optimized ARB-Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920x1080 for WAC5

I 've tried everything but nothing works.

Is their a difference between the hsie 4g patch and the one WAC provides?

Hi,



1-you are testing an old wac5.2 not yet stable patch.


2-to test wac5.2, you have to delete "Campaign_SCR.mi" in "WAC5.0 H.sie Supplement to V16B1_Atlantic_Baltic_Campaign"


3-be careful if you are starting a patrol from Wilhelmshaven base with ARB widegui : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2585827&postcount=1210


4-sh3.exe property : compatibility W7 + run as admin


:Kaleun_Salute:

[J0313]

Does WAC Campaign 5.1 replace 5.0. And where do I get a stable 5.2 patch?

[J0313]

Is there a start at sea option for WAC

[Fifi]

Is there a start at sea option for WAC

Yes but you need SH3 Commander + additional folders for WAC
With Commander you have a start at sea option (never tried it though)

You should activate this order:

WarAceCampaign 5.0
WarAceCampaign Patch_5.2_RC1
WAC5.0 H.sie Supplement to V16B1_Atlantic_Baltic_Campaign (without campaign folder)
Optimized ARB-Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920x1080 for WAC5

Nothing else needed!
I have my SH3.exe patched with H.sie first, then patched with ARB gui for full map. I leave it then in main root folder.
Everything running fine :yep:

[Fifi]

I don't know if this is intented or not, but i get this few times already...looks like he is abandoned after an attack in middle of North sea.

It's always a Wreck C2 Cargo. So maybe a spawning problem?

I got one too along west Hebrides...

https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/03/4/1547723207-sh3img-17-1-2019-12-1-2-253-resultat.jpg

Date and time is moused over the clock :03:
Looks dead, but it's not. If i destroy it, i'll get credited...

[ericlea]

Yes that is a wreck ship !

In Optimized ARB widegui you have now full map + functional draggable chrono :-)

Option sh3 commander "start at sea" does not work yet with wac5.

[Fifi]

God damn :timeout:

I just learned the Wreck definition/translation in French!
Didn’t know it was that! I though it was a cargo type!! :haha:

So everything is normal :yeah:

Very nice feature by the way

[J0313]

Actually sea start at can work. I plugged in a Lat and Long from the campaign editor and it worked. This was at Kiel and I put the start point a little farther up in the channel from the dock and it put me right there when it started. How ever it looked pretty silly with the crew still standing tall on the deck 5 klicks from the dock! I just modified the start at sea cfg in sh3 commander.

[ericlea]

Yes it is possible to edit the start at sea cfg file with a little skill and time .
If you do it for all the bases it could be nice to give the file here for all the wac5 players. Thanks.

:Kaleun_Cheers:

[Fifi]

An other very nice feature (if this is intended)

An escort is closing the sinking ship and clearly stopped... to rescue survivors maybe? :D

https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2019/03/5/1547835424-sh3img-18-1-2019-16-44-1-549-resultat.jpg

[Niume]

No way

[ericlea]

When many dd are surching you, it often happens that one ore more completely stop to moove to good hear you at hydrophone. I think more for this reason that for rescuing people :-)

[Fifi]

Yes, that’s what i thought... just a nice coincidence :)

But in real life, destroyers were rescuing survivors each time :yep:
(Convoys or not)

[Jimbuna]

When many dd are surching you, it often happens that one ore more completely stop to moove to good hear you at hydrophone. I think more for this reason that for rescuing people :-)

Yep and not sure if from the beginning of SH3 but definitely during the release of TGW/GWX :yep:

[Fifi]

About the Wilhelmshaven bug on come back, this time i tried to come back without any time compression from 51km of Harbour...and still have the big mess :yep:

So this is definitely not time compression related...but more of a spawning issue imho.

[Grrrouch]

Edit: solved all my problems

I'm finding it difficult to install the patch "H.sie_V16B1-Patch-Kit" it would be a good VIDEO tutorial to show in more detail the installation process.
Thank you

it is not a stupid but a very good question !



I think now all is inklusiv in wac5.2, (no campaign mod needed anymore)


Outdated "WAC5.0 Campaign_Atlantic_Baltic" and "WAC5.0 Campaign_Mediterranean" mods must not be activated in jsgme any more.

Hansolo will probably enlighten us on this.


:03:

[Grrrouch]

OKk, thats interresting. Well I actually play 5.01 career and didn't install the atlantic or meditteranean campaigns. So for me the question is, the campaing I started, whats the difference?

Well.. in that case you play with SH3 stock campaign files, except the harbours and buildings.
But you do not have the historical events,no harbour traffic, no big convoys, not much random traffic, probably no torpedo planes, etc.
