War Ace Campaign (WAC) 5.0 2017

[ArnoldR]

:Kaleun_Salute: Ahoi Capt. Morgan,

This happened to me now too at the end of Patrol 18 : attacked convoy - all marked red - and intentionally targeted Carham Hospital Ship with British flag; result -5000 in renown. :arrgh!:

I think the thing to do is to change the value as ArnoldR explained in the Basic.cfg file - in Cfg subfolder of Game Data folder.

Set values now to and will see next :

[RENOWN]
RenownReachGridObjCompleted=500
RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=200
CompletedPatrol=100
NEUTRAL=1
ALLIED=1
AXIS=-1
WrongShipSunk=-1
FirstRankRenown=1000
SecondRankRenown=3500
EndCampaign=5000

Greetings

I don't think so. I don't know if the "wrong ship sunk" function is actually working (if i'm not wrong, there are several things in SH3 files that are the remains of abandonned ideas by the devs, for instance all the shadow controllers: there aren't any shadows in SH3).

Better idea: look in the cfg file of the ship that you sunk (data/Sea/name of the ship/name of the ship.cfg). I think that the value for "RenownAwarded" is actually -5000... If so, then it's good to let this as it is. To sink hospital ships was not something allowed by the Kriegsmarine...

:Kaleun_Salute: Ahoi ArnoldR,
Thank you for your hint. :)

OK : Catham Hospital Ship is in Data Sea under NCCH with -8000 in renown.

I think now it is basically the combination of :
NEUTRAL=1 + NCHH renown + WrongShipSunk=-1
and

End Patrol 18 with :
Renown=21366.546875
Experience=25230.595703
Renown Patrol : 3649.53
Hull : 93,74%
2 planes shot down

I change NCCH to -1 too see later if this comes true.
Greetings:Kaleun_Wink:

PS : I tried to have an ethic : my finger ripped was in an urge, this will not happens again Herr Admiral. I promise. :k_confused:

I think rather than it is +1 (enemy coeff) * -8000 = -8000 renown points.

I think this unit is not in any neutral country folder (Roster folder). Else, this would give -1 (original neutral coeff) * -8000 = +8000 renown points for sinking a neutral hospital ship :doh:.


PS : I tried to have an ethic : my finger ripped was in an urge, this will not happens again Herr Admiral. I promise. :k_confused:
I hope so, Sir.

I enabled everything correctly but so far the Black Sea Campaign
spawns my U-boat at grid square FG28, 28 degrees 38' E, Lat 44 degrees 08' N? I searched and found others with this in this thread but after five hours of
attempts Nicht So Gut. PS stock, no mods, or with Beta Type IIb WAC 5.2 enabled, Same result. The Boat works fine in game. Same as the default.
Type IIb U-18 NOT!!! in the Black Sea but in the Golf Von Guinea auf

Hi,Mikey,what about your work on typ II payable?

Nice to see you!:Kaleun_Salute:

[ArnoldR]

in the Golf Von Guinea auf KM Planquadrat FG28 West Kuste Afrika

Hello,

I think this is due to a wrong Campaign_LND.mis: missing axis land base (harbour).

[Anvar1061]

Compare en_menu. txt and de_menu.txt data data / menu Note these lines 750=keel
751=Brest
752=Wilhelmshaven
753=Lorient
754=Saint-Nazaire
755=Bergen
756=Bordeaux
757=La Spezia
758=Toulon
759=Flensburg
760...
they should be written exactly like data data / Cfg / flotilla.cfg, data /Campaigns / Campaign / Campaign_LND.mis data data / menu / Data / cfg / Flotillas.cfg

[ThePrody]

i tried for weeks to fix this problem and could not do it . The problem is with Constanta port, if you can start the career in 1943, it will start in the Black Sea, at Feodosia .

[mikey117us]

Yes the Type IIb is working in WAC 5.2! I may yet after furter beta testing rebuild the files based on WAC Type IIA as a result of the tooltip clickable UZO.
The UZO on my Type IIb is correctly located on the Attack Periscope not at the front of the Turm as seen in game. It wont be too difficult to fix, or it will! And I will have to move it to the Front. I have several units built for an abandoned Black Sea Campaign and I am in Contact with HanSolo78 to add them. Or I will ask to make them available for WAC 5.2.
So thank you to Anvar1061!!! For past support and for Beta Testing the Type IIb and for your Skills!
Fix for WAC 5.2 Black Sea Campaign is in the spelling. ( everything in en_menu.txt should say constanza or Konstanza, NOT CONSTANTA! )
en_menu. txt and de_menu.txt are different. and the error also is in the WAC 5.2 Black Sea Loading Screens. in Terrain is the Locations.cfg,
entry:
[Location 911]
Long=28.635723
Lat=44.148235
Heading=92
OnLand=false
ShowOnMap=true
FileName=Constanta>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Correct in Campaign_LND.mis
LocationName=Constanza>>>>>>>>>>Incorrectly Spelled "Constanta" in
en_menu.txt

Change en_menu.txt I got it to work! back to beta testing!:salute:

[ThePrody]

@mikey Do i need to change something in Locations.cfg also ? I changed the name to Constanza in en_menu but i still spawn in the Gulf of Guinea

[mikey117us]

No you need not change location name, try Konstanza ( German spelling ) also in flotilla name
Try Konstanza that is what I did following anvar1061
Paths in his post. In the land in editor the harbor name is Constanta, however the marker is Konstanza. I did one more thing but don’t think
It was necessary.

[mikey117us]

I brought the Waterstreams On line in my Playable Type IIb.
As we are limited to the U-Boat Slots available, it is actually in the type IIa
slot. Once enabled you are in a Type IIb. ( My mod is a stretched to proper
type IIb dimensions, a Type IIa hull, with proper fitting of Type IIb Hardware
and fittings, Plus in two types early and 1943 with a Wintergarten, and eyecandy MG-15s )

Thanks mikey , it worked :Kaleun_Cheers:

It needs to be Konstanza , with "K"

Thanks Anvar1061

[ArnoldR]

Thanks Anvar1061

Yes, thank you. You were right. Thanks to you, I learnt something new. :up:

The name of harbour must be written exactly the same way in:
-data/menu/"en_menu.txt"
-data/Campaigns/Campaign/"Campaign_LND.mis"

Moreover, the number assigned for each harbour in "en_menu.txt" is used in:
-data/Cfg/"Flotilla.cfg"

[mikey117us]

Yes being away from any subsim, and my PC over two years,
I would have never repaired the campaign without Anvar1061
advice on where to look! Thanks Anvar1061!! HanSolo78 for WAC!
Now since its release in 7 months no HotFix was asked for?
I Suggest it be made for others who may wish to use it.
There may be new interest in this campaign very soon.
Now back to the Playable Type IIb Restarbieten und Raparature
:Kaleun_Salute:

[Randomizer]

Have succeeded in getting the Black Sea campaign to actually work with SH Commander but any Konstanza starts still begin at zero degrees lat and long in spite of editing Constansa to read Konstanza. I've given up but good on you for getting it to work.

A hot fix would be nice but it is clear none will be forthcoming.

-C

[mikey117us]

I would be lost without SH3 Commander in any
Lengthy Campaign. I will dig around in there
When I can to fix any flotilla files etc. to make it
Work. It must be in there somewhere! I will report
Any fix asap.

Question; what exactly does UCS and TAM do? I know UCS stands for User Command Sounds or something like that but i didn't find any information on them.

Thanks a ton! :Kaleun_Salute: Cleared lots of things up

[mikey117us]

The Fix is Here!
It is one single Date Entry that confuses the entire SH3 Commander Platform
the Fix: uninstall ( if you want ) SH3 Commander and delete its folder.
Make sure you have a Campaign saved, or Start with a "player" profile
enter a campaign, go to barracks, then exit.
Open your Silent Hunter 3 Folder, then Data, then the Folder Cfg.
Scroll down to flotillas.cfg and open, go to entry 1:
Flotilla0=902
TO0=940
NbStartingDate0=5
NbDate0=6
Emblem0=data/Emblems/SubEmblems/Flotillas/1st flotilla.tga
NbBases0=2
Base0_0=750;Kiel
Date0_0_0=1939
Month0_0_0=8<<<<<<<<<<<CHANGE!!!!
Date0_0_1=1941
Month0_0_1=6
DeparturePointLong0_0=1219239.000000
DeparturePointLat0_0=6517773.000000
Heading0_0=296.965698
Base0_1=751;Brest

Find Month0_0_0=8 Change to read, Month0_0_0=9 ( 9!!! )

SH3 Commander is confused by the Pre-War August 1939 date to start
a campaign ( in GWX 3.0 gold I don't remember this happening but don't care )
FIX Part Two!!!
reinstall SH3 Commander in a directory separate from SH3.
Install SH3 Commander light for WAC
Install SH3Weather 1.5 ( link provided if you do not have it ) or SH3 Commander will give an error message ( unable to write Cfg to Scene.Sim )
Start a New Career and enjoy!
Link for SH3Weather1.5 a weather generated program based on calendar month below: (works fine with, or without EnvSimAct_10 enabled )

Just a quick one: does the harbor ships spawning problem on return from mission has been fixed? :06:

Hi,

SH3Weather1.5: Could you give more details about this thing? Can it work with any SH3 installation?

[Hamppupalaa]

I have an issue where the game crashes to desktop when I approach a convoy. I tried approaching with 64 TC but the game crashed. Is this a memory issue or do I just have to lower TC?

thanks

[mikey117us]

Hi,

SH3Weather1.5: Could you give more details about this thing? Can it work with any SH3 installation?

It adds in mission weather parameters to scene.sim
Not much is different, it tries to keep the 10 day long
Storms in winter months. With EnvSim_10 you may
Be in a storm when a patrol begins,,, but when you
Reach your patrol area a big storm is less likely, in
SH3 there will be storms! This just helps when there will be storms. It has a self-executable installer
And uninstall it works best with SH3 commander.

Hi,

SH3Weather1.5: Could you give more details about this thing? Can it work with any SH3 installation?
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/smilies/Kaleun_Wink.gif
I was talking to BK last night for me/this morning for him. He mentioned that SH3Weather was something he was putting in as an option in the S3C revision. I would recommend that we avoid that app altogether.

I had two problems with it. I kept experimenting by starting at the beginning of the war, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it or if it was the number of missions or some such. The first curiosity was on the third mission I would be traveling to west of the UK. As I got by Norway, it would just CTD.

The other problem was that when I would log back into the game, upon loading my sub would instantly crash dive to 1000m and hit "bottom". It would do it super fast, faster than ahead flank in full dive. There would also be some weird graphical glitch where I couldn't view anything other than the command room and I couldn't really move the view around.

I also noticed some peculiarities in how save games were logged in the main menu portion of the game. I don't remember the specifics, but some information was either missing or duplicated on the screen.

About the time I finally got frustrated enough to ditch it, h.Sie and Stiebler both came out with their weather fixes, so I started using those and moved on.

Haven't seen the problem since.

[Hamppupalaa]

Okay, I tested approaching the same convoy at 16 TC which should be more than low enough. Weird issue, I never had this issue at ports. I tried out some new mods, I'll see if they're the issue

[mikey117us]

There is a bug in SH3 when crossing the Prime Meridian at high TC in the North Sea and Arctic that causes sudden CTD, I never heard it associated with Sh Weather. "IF" you want SH Commander in WAC 5.2 to work "At All" it will not start the game without SH Weather it just gives more error messages. If you you have ever created a single mission, or worked with Campaign files this is where weather entries are edited, Sh Weather changes these values before starting the game based on the month. It is the only script it reaches. These are tips for WAC 5.2 Players only, who have had trouble even starting the Black Sea Campaign 5.2, or using SH3 Commander with a career. Any other TC issues are well known since I started Playing SH3 in 2005. I hardly ever go above 512 for more than a minute, and never above 64-32 within 40km of a convoy.:Kaleun_Salute:

[Hamppupalaa]

Okay, interesting info. Turned out the issue was lack of memory, too many mods running at once. I turned of MEP V.6 and it worked fine, which is a shame because I'd really like to use it :Kaleun_Mad:

[HanSolo78]

Just a quick one: does the harbor ships spawning problem on return from mission has been fixed? :06:

This cant be fixed as this is a SH3 stock bug!

The only possible Solutions are..

1: delete alle docked ships in Harbours

or

2: place all ships near docks away from the docks somewhere in distance


@mikey117us

Great job on your subs and the SH3 commander Problem.

Maybe I will make some updates in some mods this season and include your fixes to solve These Problem with black sea campaign and english language.


@Hamppupalaa

Actually MEP should work with WAC5.2, although I reduced some Cloud textures.

Hi you have to remoove tam+ucs 5.01. This mod is not adapted for wac5.2 (alters some wac5.2 files.)

[David I]

Getting ready to tackle WAC 5/WAC 5.2.

Question: Does WAC SH3 Commander Lite install through JSME like everything else or does it need to be installed using the original SH3 Commander instructions?

David I

[Anvar1061]

First you install SH3Cmdr32 according to the manual, then apply the WAC files SH3 Commander Lite.

[David I]

Anvar,

The reason I asked is that SH3 Commander has been having fits with a recent Windows 7 update and making GWX virtually unplayable (see thread in the SH 3 forum).

Since I run on Windows 7, I guess I'll have to forgo SH3 Commander Lite in WAC.

Thanks for the prompt response.

David I

[Anvar1061]

If you've read my previous rekomendatsii, this problem is solved in two mouse clicks. And continue to enjoy all the features of SH3Cmdr.

[David I]

Anvar,

And where would I find your recommendations on the SH3Cmd vs Windows 7?

Was it the one from Chief WH?

I do it but then when applying patch Hie solutions it says "Not Compatible"

What order of mods with jsgme?

Yes 4GB patch, but no Hsie. Just WAC 5.2 mods :salute:

[zeus]

Ok Fifi, thanks you

If you do not apply patch Hie......are there wolfpacks in campaign(subs IA)?

[Fifi]

Ok Fifi, thanks you

If you do not apply patch Hie......are there wolfpacks in campaign(subs IA)?

Not sure about that :hmmm:
That’s been a little time since my last WAC career, and i don’t remember...sorry Zeus :salute:

[zeus]

Ok, thanks

[ericlea]

If you play wac5.2 without h.sie then no wolfpacks :)

[zeus]

is it possible to patch the two patches?

I mean the 4gb patch and Hie

I tried and I get a message of incompatibility with .exe

[mikey117us]

Patch hsie first, next apply 4gb patch. Always have
A stock SH3.exe stored as a backup. I usually rename it _SH3.exe, or
-SH3.exe

[zeus]

Ok Thanks

[David I]

Mikey,

You are too modest. Those are actually very good Tropical Uniforms.

Is that something you could put up as a mod for WAC? I'd love to have those for the Med and anywhere near or South of the Equator.

David I

[Ekaton]

It doesn't work for me. I installed the v5.0 and the patch, activated them both in JSGME, and the game either crashes after loading for about 10 minutes, or loads successfully but doesn't allow me to unpause and the screen is all black. What can I be doing wrong?

[mikey117us]

Yes I will release the Tropical Uniforms. I have two versions one uniforms only , the other includes the mandatory head dress all must wear issued caps.
I will put them up this week. I took a break from the playable type IIbs, to build the Tug and Scow mod.
A towed alongside deck barge, carrying so far a GAZ
medium AA truck with mounted 37mm, some T-34s, and three Russian DB
Landing craft for Black Sea Traffic. Also a generic cargo version for WAC 5.2 for other rostered countries.

[David I]

Mikey,

That's great news! I will keep my eyes pealed for your release announcement.

I've been using the old "Compulsory Headgear" mod from SH3 in WAC and it works fine.

David I

[FeatsOfStrength]

Does the Interiors addon work outside of WAC? I'm just downloading it now so i'm going to try it out, I have a funny feeling i'm going to crash dive to desktop the second I try and load my campaign though.

[Anvar1061]

Install this with JSGME and just cross your fingers.

[FeatsOfStrength]

It worked perfectly, however the interiors leave a bit to be desired. As nice as it is to be able to explore the Type II and Type IX for the first time there are some issues with the (shaders?) of the models (in particular crew models) that make the lighting look all weird and unnatural, as well as some poor quality textures and not being able to access the conning tower on Type II's.

There also doesn't seem to be any animation for the engines etc. I think i'll stick with Flak Monkey's for now unless these are updated. Not the worst interiors i've ever seen though, they could be great with some work.

[426]

Hello is there any way to move the position of these gauge to the left ???

also plz what are any additional mod that can be used with WAC? :)
thanks.

Dear all,

I really look forward to trying this awesome mod.

Can somebody show me the load order for the Black Sea Campaign + h.sie's hardcoded fixes?

My current load order does not work with Sh3 Commander (Gives me an error when I want to select 30th flottila. In Sh3 it shows Bordeaux as my harbor and spawns me at 0,0 close to Guinea.

My current order:

David, just in case you're not aware, one can have the crew wear headgear in any install of SH3.


Simply open the associated crew config. files in notepad i.e. and:


- choose "edit"
- choose "replace"
- type "HasHelmet=No" in the "find what" section.
- type "HasHelmet=Yes" in the "replace with" section.


Save and done.

[Chris65]

Hey all; Getting back in SH3 after years of not playing and decided to try WAC but several problems have occurred which I seemed to have worked out (CTD on mission load but disabling patch 5.2 fixes that..etc) but one thing is still consistant, incredibly long load times for mission load, about 15-20 minutes on an SSD. I have clean SH3 patched to 1.4b, then 4gb patch, WAC5.0 via JSGME, then 5.0 to 5.2 (which has problems as above but sometimes works) and WAC wide screen Ahenerbe. The game loads quickly to 50% and then crawls beyond slow; while waiting for it to load I did dishes (the old way) and grabbed my guitar and played a couple of songs, that slow.



Is this normal? (win8.1 64bit, 8gb mem, 2gb GTX860m)


***Also when I quit the game I get SH3 has stopped responding***


##I have given up on this mod, the only way it loads for me is with 5.2 uninstalled and even then it takes 20 minutes to load (at least), by then the desire to play is long past. For 7.5 hours now I have been trying to get this mod to work with 2 successes, so UNCLE. I thank the mod designer for his efforts but this mod doesn't work for me.##

[Fifi]

Is there a way to get the U-Boat strait level underwater at periscope depth (or below) when sea is rough?
Asking because the sub is still pitching at 25m depth, when it should be straight without pitching/rolling.
Or is it an SH3 known trouble? :06:

I am back in SH3 after 13 years!!! Installed WAC 5 and got it working on my PC.
Unfortunately one thing isn´t quite as expected. There is no harbour traffic at all.

Try placing your first mods in this order :

WarAceCampaign 5.0
WarAceCampaign 5.0 Patch_5.2

then your other mods.

I do not think you are suppose to use the WAC 5.1.

Hope this works for you.

Hi Fubar,


thank you :) tried this. Deactivated the MODS by JSGME. Then setup JSGME like follows:


WAC 5.0
Patch 5.0 to 5.2
WAC 5.2 Widescreen


what I get now is: high resolution and GUI works, loading screen WAC 5 is ok. Intro is stock SH3 movie and starting campaign is like stock SH3 back in 2005. Game is loading too fast (stock SH3)....

WAC5.0 Poor Man Enigmn V2
DD_VisibleMines_V1.0
MFM-Improved
MFM3.2 displacement correction mod
MFM v3.3 Silhouettes by Izgud

This may, may not help you.

From what you are describing WAC does not seem to be loading. I can only suggest a clean install again and attempt to load WAC 5.0 and see if that runs for you and then the 5.2 patch and see if that works. If either one of these does not work it is possible you have a corrupted file and need to down load another copy.

Good hunting,

Thank you so much FUBAR, this did it! All works fine now. Kiel is full of ships now.

I am not real good with display issues, as there are others much more capable than I in this area.

Make sure you have the proper system required, i.e. ;

Systemanforderungen / system requirements:
CPU: 3-4GHz CPU – je höher die Frequenz desto besser
RAM: 4GB freies RAM – mehr können Ruckler evtl. verhindern
GPU: AMD 7750 und höher oder Nvidia GTX660 und höher mit 2GB RAM
CPU: 3-4GHz CPU –more high frequenzy is better
RAM: 4GB free RAM – more can avoid stuttering
GPU: AMD 7750 and higher or Nvidia GTX660 and higher with 2GB RAM

Since you are using Steam, make sure you have that set up properly on your hard drive.

A few commands in the HUD aren't working. In particular, the periscope commands (fully raise or fully lower) aren't working for the attack or observation periscopes. Furthermore, the captain's menu isn't working. Is there a way to fix this?

[schlechter pfennig]

Clean install, everything working nice-and-neat. Started pre-war, ran 6 patrols and was transferred to a training cadre. Started with a new Captain (using SH3Commander) and again everything fine. It's mid-March, 1940, and in grid AN, I encounter a small convoy of three ships lead by an armed trawler, all Holland-flagged.

Heading to intercept for a stop-and-search, at approximately 6-7 klicks the armed trawler turns to face me and begins firing. Turning to face him, I engage with my deck gun, figuring I have enough range to (reasonably) safely try to engage and take out the armed trawler because, if I can, the remaining three merchants are toast. By the time it closes to 3 klicks, I've landed five hits without taking a single hit in return. Landing the sixth hit, the armed trawler abruptly turns hard aport...

I wonder if it isn't the CAM Ship mod making it CTD.

From the readme :

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF STOCK SH3 and OF GWX AND OTHER SUPERMODS THAT ARE NOT NYGM:
A lot of people have reported problems with Crashes-to-Desktop (CTDs) with this mod, and the problems lie with the CAM-SHIP mod. The CAM-SHIP (usually IABL’s M36B ship) has to be of Type=8 in order to fly off aircraft, and this is how it is set in NYGM. However, stock SH3 lacks the CAM-SHIP entirely, while GWX has it as Type=102 (which will not fly off aircraft).
There are two solutions:
1. (Simple) DELETE the SEA folder completely from folder Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1\data\Sea, before you install the folder with JSGME. (This is essential if you are using stock SH3.exe, without any supermod installed.) Of course, now the CAM-SHIP mod will not function. You can also delete folder Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1\data\Air\CAMHurricane, and folder Stiebler4B_Addon_for_V16B1\data\Roster\, since these no longer serves any purpose.
2. Alternatively, locate the references to the M36B ship in your SuperMod setup, and change them from UnitType=102 to UnitType=8. You will find these references in files: YourSuperMod\data\roster\british\sea\M36B (change UnitType=102 to UnitType=8) and YourSuperMod\data\sea\M36B\M36b.cfg (change UnitType=102 to UnitType=8) and YourSuperMod\data\campaigns\campaign\campaign_RND. mis (possibly also in file campaign_SCR.mis too) - search for
Class=M36B
Type=102
and change ‘Type=102’ to ‘Type=8’. (There may be several references to the M36B in the campaign files.)
That is not so difficult is it?

That is the only thing I see that may effect your set up.

I was very careful setting that up, and even checked the game files after enabling all the mods to assure I'd correctly modified everything.

Owell.

For what it's worth I could never get WAC to run with the CAM-Ship activated. After deactivating it the mod runs without error but takes forever to load and I had issues with uber-Flak along with ineffectual and unreasonable Allied aircraft.

Just as Randomizer has said, I could not get CAM ship to work outside of NYGM. I tripled checked the setup but never got it run. It just crashes SH3 from the get go. Outside of when playing NYGM, I disable this feature.

Fwiw guys, I've got the cam ship to work in GWX, stock, and a modified Rub install.

You've probably all done this, but make sure the "Type" line in the m36b.cfg file says "8" not "102". That's the most common reason for a ctd.

To be safe, I've also only used the NYGM m36b and Hurricane files when using a cam ship in another install. Stiebler modded the NYGM cam ship Hurricane so it is different than the stock one.

Make sure to add the m36b to your Englishnames.cfg file and make sure you've added the ship and plane to your rosters and the game sea and aircraft folders, though not doing this usually causes the game not to start vs a ctd.

Last but not least, in NYGM the cam ship is added to convoys in the campaign.rnd file vs. letting the game pick it via a generic .rnd file.
NYGM has it attached to 12 convoys, but of course one can have it in as many or few as wanted.

Not sure what causes the issue. I looked at campaign files, ship and aircraft files. Triple checked types used, followed the instruction to the tee but can not get it work in WAC or GWX. I even went so far as to import the aircraft and ship files from NYGM to WAC and GWX. Same resulting CTD when loading. Needless to say, I gave up for the time being. Generally, I can get the most ticklish mod to work with some tinkering.

Something else I remembered; one needs to make sure when adding them to the .rnd file to also have the "type" line there say "8".
Easiest way is to just copy the entire cam ship info. block from NYGM's .rnd file, remembering to renumber it to match one's .rnd file rndgroup sequence.

Just adding this for anyone else FUBAR; I'm sure you already knew this.

I've never had a problem with SHIII loading with the CAM mod enabled. It's the countless CTD whilst running the game that's frustrating, with the majority of those dealing with SimAct, or other .act functions.

I just can not get past the middle or tail end of loading before CTD. I just do without the CAM feature utilized.

WAC is notorious for long load times as compared to other super mods. I do not think is much that can be done with that. It is especially frustrating when after enduring the load time to have it crash. :wah:

Once I've done that, I copy/paste and then edit the relevant CAM info into the Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1 mod, following the instructions in Instructions_Stiebler4C_V16B1_Addon and Stiebler4C_patch_Docs. For instance, once the first five (5) mods are enabled, I go to (current game path)/data/Campaigns/Campaign and copy the Campaign_RND.mis and Campaign_SCR.mis from the game folder to the Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1 mod, and then I follow the editing instructions given in Instructions_Stiebler4C_V16B1_Addon and Stiebler4C_patch_Docs. This assures that when I load that mod it has used the current game files as the basis for the CAM modifications.

I do the same for every instance Stiebler describes in his instructions, as well as ticking the CAM-ship mod when running HsieOptionsSelector_V16B.exe.

This has (so far) prevented any CTD during loading.

Hope this helps!

Once I've done that, I copy/paste and then edit the relevant CAM info into the Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1 mod, following the instructions in Instructions_Stiebler4C_V16B1_Addon and Stiebler4C_patch_Docs. For instance, once the first five (5) mods are enabled, I go to (current game path)/data/Campaigns/Campaign and copy the Campaign_RND.mis and Campaign_SCR.mis from the game folder to the Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1 mod, and then I follow the editing instructions given in Instructions_Stiebler4C_V16B1_Addon and Stiebler4C_patch_Docs. This assures that when I load that mod it has used the current game files as the basis for the CAM modifications.

I do the same for every instance Stiebler describes in his instructions, as well as ticking the CAM-ship mod when running HsieOptionsSelector_V16B.exe.

This has (so far) prevented any CTD during loading.

Hope this helps!

You said right above my post that you run the cam in WAC.

No wonder I failed Detective School.....

Good point too about making sure it's selected in the options selector.

[Starkweather]

Got a question if I may. There's two files on the WAC mediafire page regarding H.sie's patch :

WAC5.2 H.sie Supplement to V16B1 (from 2019)
WAC5.01 H.sie Supplement to V16B1_Atlantic_Baltic_Campaign (from 2017)

I see people here are adding them one after the other in their load lists, in the order above, despite the second one being from an earlier version. Is that correct? They modify the exact same set of files and the file checksums are all the same except for the the _menu files and, more importantly, the main campaign file (Campaign_SCR.mis); looks like there's a couple hundred extra units in the campaign file from 2017. Is the Campaign file from 2019, being smaller and with less units, an optimized version or something?

Hi! One question:

How can I make SH3 Commander work with WAC5.2? Should I install WAC5.0 Commander_light in SH3commander folder with Generic Mod Enabler?

Many regards

Have great troubles running this mod; lost my second career because of loading CTD, and this time no CTD but as soon as in command room, everybody is killed and sub destroyed...how come all those corrupted saves? :k_confused:

[divemonkie]

graphics problem. my terrain is all black and sometimes coming out of TC my crew looks like they just got back from Woodstock and a bad acid trip. Does anyone know of a fix or card setting to correct it.

still a great mod...some of the deadliest sea battles I've ever seen.

Thanks anvar.
That helps a great deal.

Ive tried Wac before but always mixed results...my not so great a machine and screwing up the install. But this time will be deffrent. Intel nuk seems very capable and im limiting the install.

So far is working very well I just added your terrain file too patch 5.2
I just need more time to play.

Ps. Some of the best AI I've sailed against of all the SH to date...very well done. :salute:

One more question, is there a sun fix for Wac? I tried OLC's sun fix it worked for about 30 seconds than snapped back too a small white dot.

[divemonkie]

I spoke to soon.
Soon as i arived at Kiel Canal terrain went black.

Gonna try some of the atmosphere mods out there...just dont want to lose the water. I realy like the way the sea looks.

It's 17600 tons yet can sail at 17.5 knots?Only war ships can do that.
The draft was 8.7 and it was incorrect so I change it to 7.7.
The reward is way too juicy,a Proteus Class Collier Freighter of 19360 tons only gives reward of 310 points.

I searched everywhere over the internet and couldn't find any historical reference resemble this ship.
Can somebody suggest a replacement model?

That warning usually means the game is looking for something that isn't there or isn't where the game thinks it should be.
In my experience, it's usually the menu.ini or dials.cfg file that is the problem and needed to be edited.
Obviously, it is directly related to something H.sie's patch is adding/changing so maybe that will help you narrow it down.

I agree with you, it’s a menu file issue.

Your example also sounds like the Sh3 crash dive blues bug from long ago. Regarding the torpedo hit problem, that is also an old Sh3 issue. I can't remember the details, but do a search for it and you'll find out info.

Never had the vanishing ships in any megamods fortunately.
Gave WAC5.2 an other chance, restarted career but later on.
Surprisingly, in Beginning 41 I’m still operating From KIEL, and have to come back there :doh: (7th Flotilla)
In all others megamods i should be in St Naz!

wac issues are more complex than other mod, i put all the stable things from nygm in a hybrid and i still have ctd with content, posible from SCR, and also from ship model bicose thew ship vanishing could be link to the ship model or to some element in a library. but i was getting hits on 2 diferent ships in a row and only one of them disapear.

Just installed WAC5.2 + Hsie's patch + Tycho's patch and ARB Wide Gui 1920x1080 and it runs smoothly...
No problems so far and looks promising.
I've got a couple of question though:
1: I see that the sub looks really splendid, it has changed a lot, so, is it possible to use normal skins for the subs enabled via JSGME or will they cause problems?
2: For the same reason, is it possible to use Venatore's uniforms mods, enabled the same way?
3: Is it possible tu use other emblems packs?
4: Is it possible to use an exhaust smoke mod with WAC?



For me at least, looks like WAC is more stable than GWX and causes less trouble.
Thanks a lot for your help! :salute:

You should add to the manual that under Windows 10 the .exe should be set to Windows 7 compatibility.
Before I did that I had many CTDs, afterwards not a single one...

It doesn’t help at all. From day one i tried WAC, had constantly CTDs even with Win7 compatibility, 4GB patch etc etc
Not to say the horrible mess in harbor when back at base.

[FUBAR295]

WAC5 is difficult to keep running.

To avoid CTD I start at sea and finish before I get into port at about 25 KM from base. As Fifi indicated the harbor is crowded and FPS drops really low and stutters. I think it really needs a harbor light version to help with stability. Be mindful of the amount of mods you activate.

Good hunting,

(And probably some conflicts remaining still, bringing CTDs)
Can’t handle it even with decent computer.

Hey guys,


i need your help :).



I cant get this WAC mod to start working. Till now i had LSH 2017 and GWX 3.0. Gold mod installed with no problems.



For WAC I did a clean install of SH3. Due to the lack of install instructions, i followed official PDF instructions and instructions this site:


1) https://steelsharksforum.proboards.com/thread/4301/war-campaign-game-play-mods


Even if i install WAC mod as recommended on internet site, WAC wont start working. I tryed to lunch WAC through SH commander, but no luck - i havent found instructions for commander, so i "clean" installed sh3 commander and copied the files from WAC light commander over "clean" sh3 commander files.



SH3 game also get checked through Unisoft connect, but instead of starting a WAC mod it starts original SH3.


Can any one tell me what im doing wrong?.


I salute you!:Kaleun_Salute:

Hey Anvar,

thanks for a fast reply :).

I have checked "just in case" and there is no sh3 files on my primary ssd drive (intended for windows 10).



SH3 is installed in on my second SSD drive.

I copied the SH3 files, so i have now 2 seperate SH3 maps..


The WAC mod is also enabled in jgsme...can you maybe give me some sugestion, what should i do?.

Much appreciated :Kaleun_Wink:

[Anvar1061]

JSGME
You launch JSGME and create a MODS folder in your SH3 directory. In which you unzip WAC. Re-run JSGME and activate WAC. He must change the SH3 files.

Hey Anwar,


thank you!. Now the WAC started to work. The problem was, that i put "MODS" in 1 level of sh3 map instead in second level sh3 map...


Now i have one more question for you. Im able to start the carrer, but during loading of first patrol, sh3 stops / crashes and throws me into a windows 10 with error report:


"SH3 commander has found a running instance od silent huner III. Please close Silent Hunter III and all associated files before retrying".


Any idea why?.





Ps.: i was unable to patch sh3.exe with H.sie V16B1 patch.

I salute you all!


Ps.: For my heroic return, and such a warm welcone from you and all the help i got from Anvar 1061 i made a small donation to :subsim:.

How long does it take to load the campaign for you? asking the people with SSD

[Templar]

About 6:30", SSD or HDD same amount of time to load the campaign for me.:salute:

[CapZap1970]

Posted some days ago in another thread about this... in my case, GWX3.0 + ARB Wide Gui 1920x1080 and other mods of all kinds or Onealex V1.32 and up take 1-2 minutes... I don't know why sometimes the loading time for SH3 fluctuates. I have a 2TB SSD drive with one partition of 500 GB exclusively for my games, can't remeber the brand...

[Boche]

Does anyone know why the Radar doesnt work in this mod?



Im playing a Type IXC december 42 and just installed the FuMo 30. Radar doesnt show and the options are greyed out and i cant seem to find a solution in the forums. Anyone have any ideas? thank you!

[Robotjukebox]

Hey, I've noticted some people have black contacts or seeing contacts like in GWX with just the black outlines with no colors. Is this mod i'm missing or a setting?

NVM Found it : Black contacts:

one question everything works great except im experiencing ctd when im in the crew department (F7) and moving crew around and i get a ctd, now this does not happen everytime only at random times, i can move lets say 5 crew members around then on the 6th member it crashes. never had that happen b4 playing the many years with any big mod... any thoughts?

To me WAC5 has crossed the SH3 engine capability, giving random CTDs everywhere anytime. So it’s normal.
Long time i uninstalled it.

[ericlea]

fifi is very severe with wac5.2


This supermod is a bit less stable than LSH2020 in 1920 x 1080 resolution due to limit ram memory that is sure but I think it should be tested with the new 1920x1080 DGUI (lighter than ARB widegui, eats less ram !) and I think WAC will have a nice stability.


I will test DGUI with wac5.2 soon because WAC5.2 is a wonderfull supermod !

Hello,


I am currently playing a campaing on WAC5.2 with the complete sound package and I LOVE it, except for the coughing :down: There's nothing fun about hearing the same 3 coughs every 20 seconds on a loop. I know those are added through the complete sounds package, but i don't wanna lose all the other marvellous sounds the mod adds, so i was wondering, can i just delete them from the mod files or will that break the game? And if I cannot just delete them, how can I still enjoy the complete sound package without my experience being ruined by uninterrupted coughing?

[ivanov.ruslan]

You can use the file Amb OceanSkyline.wav from WAC 5.01

There is no cough :har:


If you use a complete sound for WAC, deactivate mod, delete the above file, reactivate, and the cough disappears

[CaveCanem]

I'll try that, thanks !

[ericlea]

For me the coughs are nice :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:
But yes as ivanov says :


simply desactive "complete sound for wac" mod

in this mod, delete the file Amb OceanSkyline.wav
and active again "complete sound for wac"


and it will be ok for you ^^

[ericlea]

The new DGUI_1920x1080 adapted for WAC5.2 is ready !


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=248596



It is a really precious widegui for WAC5.2 !
Because of its lightness, it allows you to play wac5.2 with greatly improved stability !
Much better stability than with ARB or Ahnenerbe widegui.


For example, with ARB or Anhenherbe 1920x1080, I couldn't load wac5.2 to Wilhelmshafen base with full map F5 activated (needs to much ram !).

Now with DGUI 1920x1080 I can do it without any problem and wac5.2 runs very well in this huge port !

Amazing !

It is the best solution today to play WAC5.2 in 1920x1080 !

Hello Kaleuns:)

Is it possible to play WAC 5.2 and WAC 5.0 Full_Interior mod with the DGUI mod? It's to massive for ARB and Mano's WidescreenGUI. I love the Type IX interior.:)

[ivanov.ruslan]

Try the link from the previous post :up:


Post 9 in the mentioned topic

[ericlea]

It is possible today to play WAC5.2 + DGUI 1920x1080 + Full Interior (with animations) in the Black Sea Campaign.


tests are underway in atlantic but It does CTD at Load screen in Lorient with type 9.


You can test by your side.


And you can try too with this Hansolo's mod which makes wac5.2 lighter :

WAC5.0 Stripped_down_Harbours_and_Flags_beta
https://www.dropbox.com/s/52lcgwdj62luu1f/WAC5.0%20Stripped_down_Harbours_and_Flags_beta.7z? dl=1


(I haven't tried WAC5.2 yet with this mod + DGUI 1920x1080 but it can perhaps work^^)



What is certain today is that WAC5.2 + DGUI1920x1080 works more stable with less CTD than ARB1920x1080, that's already a great new.

I tested it yesterday evening with the stripped_down_harbours_and_flags_beta + Full_Interior mod and it worked fine with the Type IX- boat in Lorient. This afternoon i try to start in Wilhelmshafen. The DGUI is really good to play WAC stable:yeah:

Hi guys! one question. Has anyone found a fix for starting patrols at Bergen?


Everytime I try i always spawn slighly behind the uboat pen and on ground, leading to my death. I know its got something to do with moving the spawn coordinated but i dont know how to do that. Also starting patrol at sea leads me to the same outcome.


Thank you!

What year, what boat, which WAC-version?
To me it looks there is no problem with the Startposition in original WAC v5.2 Campaign_LND. The Startpoint in Bergen with a 7c-boat in 1942 and 43 works for me.

What do you mean with starting at sea? The use with Commander, or a separate Mod?
What i have seen so far there is a "WAC_5.0_Commander_light" with that option, but the related file "Start at sea.cfg" is empty. So i think with that constellation you will not see any difference in a "normal" Start and a "Start at Sea".

The Startpoint is always located in the Campaign_LND.mis. To change it you have to open that file with the SH3Missioneditor and move the related Harbor-point a bit in the right direction. This may need some more steps to find the right position. You have to use "Open LND Units" and "Save as LND units" in the Loading -Options. It may or may not needed to put the new coordinates (Lon Lat) also into the Flotilla.cfg.
Then you should put these changed files into a JSGME-drawer-structure under the same Name as the Originals.
For example
MODs (or whatever your MODs-folder-name is)\MyNewBergenStartpoint(or something like that)\data\Campaigns\Campaign\Campaign_LND.mis
and
...\data\cfg\Flotilla.cfg

HTH.

Useless. If you dont change the related Mods, you will always get the same result. For short, your problem with Start from Bergen is "Pseudo Docking for WAC50". This is old. 2017 or older. Look here Post from ericlea #381 and HanSolo78 #385 in this thread.
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=233626&page=26

As far as i know, the WAC5.0 at there release-date has no Campain-files integrated. All released Campaign-files for WAC50 where additional Mods. So the Start-position at Bergen must have enything to do with the original SH3 Bergen. This has been changed for WAC5.2. You are using a Mod which is not compatible with WAC5.2.

It is a known and widely used method to find such a problem, by de-activating each and every Mod, one at a time, as long as the problem is identified.

One would assume that installing the pseudo dock as the 2nd mod before the 5.2 patch would solve the problem

[Hebe Vollmaus]

Yes. True. If one would waste time and Disk-space.
I would get it out and forget it forever. It would be overwritten completely by the v52 update.

Its the same if one has the WAC Full 5.0 installed.
Then the update 5.1
and then the update 5.2

5.1 here would be useless.

Not necessarily true for every mod. Depends upon the contents of each update. I don't know the specifics of what is in 5.1 and 5.2, but there could be something in 5.1 that is not overwritten by 5.2.

Hi Phooney,

didn´t get that you answered.

I managed to get them working together after working in the files.

But I stumbled over a problem while working on the Real ASW Mod.

The Kingfisher produces a CTD for me (without Stiebler Add On), which could be reproduced on my other install of the mod.

To test simply create a SP-Mission with the ship and a player controlled sub.
Would be great if someone could try to reproduce it because I´m relatively sure that it isn´t because of my install and every other class by now works...

Hi padi,
you have mail.


For the WAC-Kingfisher i use the complete Kingfisher-drawer out of CCoM12 in WAC.
But only for Testing porposes, i cannot really say i "use" WAC.
The reason is a Museum-Crash. So i find it is not needed to create a SinglePlayer-Mission to see that there is something wrong with this Ship in WAC.

Another Museum-Crash exist with the ATBS_Vildebeest.eqp and *.sns.

Greetings.

Yes, WAC works with Stiebler patch, WAC5.01, at least with some options, WAC5.2 I haven't tried

[SwissSubCommander]

I have a problem. When I try run WAC 5.01 the game works fine. But when I try to install the 5.2 patch, the nav map is a double image and the locations of ports etc. are completely screwed.
And after a few seconds in the nav map, the game just crashes. I dont know what Im doing wrong. 4gb patch is installed btw.

I've desided to try WAC 5.2, in my quest to try'm all.

I did Google searches, forum searches and did a quick scan across 115 pages or 1717 post, on thr WAC Campaign 5.0 thread. with no solutions. I'm sure I've missed it somewhere.

I played this mod mainly for the detailed full interiors but it is a real biatch to make it work... yesterday it worked almost flawlessly. Today, with the exact same setup it CTD all the time, no exceptions, whenever i want to try a single mission (I didn't even bother with career mode)


I know there is the full interior mods for the VIII out there but I really love the IID and IX, it's such a pity this megamod is sooooooo temperamental:k_confused:

[FUBAR295]

It is a temperamental beast, agreed. :yep: But when it does work, it is a visual gratifying experience.

I just run single missions when I do play WAC, the CTD issue foregoes trying to do a career.

This mod really needs some TLC on a revamp, needs to be placed on a diet of sorts.

I start and run early war careers on this Mod. I also have a Black Sea Career in progress too. Haven't had any issues with this MOD SOUP set-up :

WAC5.2 Campaign_Black_Sea
WAC5.2 Campaign_Black_Sea_WS_Loading_Pictures
DGUI_1920x1080_for_WAC5.2_ProPo
DGUI Black Sea


When I first set WAC 5.2 up, I had the "black terrain" bug (that's what I call it).I tried many solutions but someone suggested that I use M.E.P. v6, and presto, it was fixed.

On another note, arn't the ports just amazing !!!

hy :D
I got it to work but not completely...
maybe jerry can help you
Because I haven't played it for a long time...
Hansolo no longer seems active on the project...
if I can give any advice, skip over a few cooler things, don't waste your time with WaC 5.2...
switch to Onealex mod... or Fifi's fabulous NYGM which continues to improve..
or Enhanced GWX from Toyotagt86 ...
these mods are perfect is easy to use and they work perfectly
I recommend NYGM by Fifi, moreover, he is currently working on the Black Sea version as well as the Mediterranean.. that is to say..
Fifi is a very experienced modder and I weigh my words... you won't regret it...
Sincerely Kal Maximus U669 :salute:

[Doolar]

After talking about WAC5.2, I figured I've got a few hours to play my Black Sea career in WAC5.2. I mainly play OneAlex, NYGM Enhanced (can't wait for the new campaign files) and Toyotagt86. I must a jinxed myself. I'm stuck at 0 degrees N/S and 0 degrees E/W. Basically at the corners of the Equator and the Prime Madeiran. The only thing I did (that I can remember) is delete non-Black Sea careers. I'll try to figure this out tonite. :k_confused:

Kal Maximus has great advice

[Doolar]

Got it fixed. I started a non-Black Sea Career, Saved. Added the Black Sea Mods, back via JSGME. On my 2nd patrol. All is good. I don't know, but it works. Come on Fifi ... LOL.

[Mizzou55]

Does the SHIII CMDR files go into SHIII CMDR or the game?

[Doolar]

Mizzou55, I read your post earlier, and spent a few hours reinstalling WAC 5.2 on my experimental PC. It's been a long time since I installed WAC 5.2. I do have it on my Gamer. I kinda forgot how I handled SH3 Commander and I didn't want to mess you up. To me "WAC Commander Lite" activation was a bit confusing or if it's needed. This might or might not be right, but it works perfectly for me. I ...

1. Installed SH3Commander to my WAC/SH3 Game folder (inside).
2. Installed JSGME inside the SH3 Commander Folder. You should already have JSGME installed inside your WAC/SH3 Game Folder. This is for Commander Mods not SHIII Mods.
3. Set both the Cmdr.exe and the newly installed JSGME.exe (the one inside Commander) to run in a capatibily mode of WIN 7 and run as Administrator.
4. I downloaded a mod called "WAC Commander Lite" from the first or second post in this thred. Uncompressed it and placed it into the WAC/SHIII/Commander/MODs Folder.
5. Activated it with the Commander's JSGME.

I'm not very clear on what this does, but I gave it a try. All works GREAT. As mentioned above I was a bit confused and This is what I did. Any comments from other SubSim members are more then welcome. I find other Super Mods have very clear documentions. I do use DGUI's 1920x1080 for WAC 5.2 ProPo. which I recommend, and if you have issues with a black or a void terain, feel free to PM me. No problem, it's an easy fix. That's where Commender's JSGME will come handy again. My WAC 5.2 install runs great and is stable. Well hope this helps and keep me posted. Jerry (Baltimore Md)/ Doolar (CA45)

I was just discussing WAC over on NYGM and saw this. Anyway, here is my mod list for WAC :

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Silent Hunter III WAC 5.2\MODS]

WarAceCampaign 5.0
WarAceCampaign 5.0 Patch_5.2
WAC5.2 H.sie Supplement to V16B1
WAC5.2 Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1
WAC5.2 Optimized ARB WideGui 1920x1080 for WAC5.2
WAC5.2 Enhanced Addon Mod
WAC5.2 Fifi_Enhancement_Mod
WAC5.2 Emblem_Flag_Mod
WAC5.2 Emblem_fix
WAC5.2 Depth Charge Noise - Rev A
WAC5.2 Fuel Economy Tweak
WAC5.2 Reduced Merchant Visual Mod
WAC5.2 New _hydrophone _layers for SH3 v2.0_WAC
WAC5.2 Radio Message and Config
Radio Message - Morse Code and Speech
Scirè-Tikigod- repeated order
Offizier Faces Consolidated
Thomsen Dockside
WAC5.2 Poor Man Enigma V2
WAC5.2 Sounds and Gramaphone
WAC5.2 Full_Interior
WAC5.2 Torpedo trail and wake fix mod Rev A
WAC5.0 TDW Enhanced Damage Mod
WAC5.2 TDW Ship Plane Fire Damage_v1.4
Without Labels
OFF Head Mod 3
U97 Winter Crew Uniform I
EnvSimAct_10

This current arrangement has worked well and is stable to a point, just make regular saves if running a campaign career. Single missions do not seem to be an issue. Some mods are of my own making.:03:

The Campaign files need some cleaning up and corrections, that help greatly in reducing the CTD's. But there are other things that need to be looked over and fixed to stabilize even more. Fifi's enhancement, if I remember correctly, also stabilized WAC a bit.

It is visual stunning when running correctly. Lighting, enviroment and sound are about the best. I do recommend a "at sea start", the harbors can really slow things down, frame rate drop from 60 down to 20 and very laggy if your machine can not handle it.

I do not think that HanSolo will return to reprise WAC 6.0. Someone else would need to pick up the mantle on a revamp.

Good hunting,

Thank you, Wow thas a really impressive mod list. And yes The harbors can slow things down a bit, so I take it real easy spining the camera around, sight seeing. so far so good. But arn't the harbors beautful though !

[FUBAR295]

Those harbors are stunning, but I hate those locks. What a pain to maneuver through. I did find the Mediterranean Sea campaign underwhelming. Never did the Black Sea.

[Doolar]

never did the Med but I've done quite a few Black Sea Patrols. The Eastern Coast has quite a few more Soviet ports and is tuff. I get hammered !!! LOL

This is what I see in the US, and you just click on the "Download" button and away you go.

MediaFire is fond of pop-ups for advertisers, so if you have those blocked, MediaFire might restrict your access, but I do not know if that is the case. His page loads fine in my browsers.
