Mod from Onealex

Goodnight all :D:D
We all start away: - With those who don't read the instructions provided by kyle9154 and my friend FUBAR295 in this thread... I'm sorry to disappoint you. Read the dates here my friends ... so let's stop saying that it doesn't work or what if it ..!!!. When we play this type of mod we read in order to configure and understand what we are doing.. .the instructions are provided in the mod .. when you look for them of course ...!!!
When everything is set there is no problem...

If you're trying to insinuate that the reason my game fails to load is because I didn't install the mod correctly then I'm afraid you are mistaken. I followed the instructions to the letter as I know from previous experience with SH3 and modpacks that being blasé is not advised.

Also, with such a weak search function it makes it basically impossible to find the answer I need easily, so I have to read the thread in its entirety. If you expect me to manually scan 101 pages of this thread covering the last 15 months of discussion for a solution then, again, you're mistaken.

But, I have to offer my congratulations that your game works. That clearly shows that anyone having issues getting this mod to run must be at fault. Thanks for you help. /s

I don't know who is wrong here since the opposite has brought you up... :yep::yep: beware the devil is in the details..:D:D

So you put your chances of playing to rate...it's up to you...after all...!!
Today the modders "chew" you job believe me... before we had a compilation all prepared ask the elders here

How do you think I did in the past.. when you love, you don't count.. I searched and read quite a bit, believe me..
What are you bumping into...? don't you have a problem in your machine...?
defender or other antivirus which is useless most of the time..!!!
be careful with Hsie..

See documentation in the mods but the pdf is in Russian with a good translator.. no need to search for all the sections that interest you only.
let's have a little courage my friend... that must not be very bad :salute:

[Deadmode]

I wish I could thank you for your help but instead you chose to be a weirdly aggressive person who decides to mock someone instead of offering assistance.

Thankfully, I have other versions of SH3 (normal GWX and LSH3) that work just fine, likely showing that the problem isn't with my machine but this mod. I guess I'll just go back to playing those.

Oh, and one last thing, when you are part of a niche community playing a niche set of archaic games kept alive purely by the community - how about turning down the hostility to those trying to join the community and play said games but are encountering issues. If you really want to ensure that anyone wanting to experience SH3 and these modpacks runs for the hills instead then keep up your attitude.

What a joke.

Humor is sometimes very difficult to convey through written text. I think you two guys just misunderstood each other and no disrespect was intended.

@Deadmode. Nobody can know if you are an experienced user or just a random person who didn´t bother to read the instructions. Believe me, the second category can be observed very often and is usually quite annoying.

Why don´t you try again by explaining you issue with a detailed report.
Version of the mod used? Do you use other mods? When does the game crash? Does it crash on a fresh career?

@Kal_Maximus_U669 Don´t just assume that somebody didn´t read the instructions (although I´ll admit you would be right most of the time). Try to help.

I responded to you on Onealex discord but if you follow these saves games rules then you should have less issues.

Good practices to ensure a stable save:
1. Never save while submerged.
2. Never save around any ship/airplane within 20-50 km.
3. Never save within 50 km of a sunken ship.
4. Never save while gramophone music is playing.
5. Never save during torpedo loading or repairs.
6. Never use Alt + TAB during a patrol.
7. Never scroll to far east into Russia in NAV map or will cause CTD.
8. Only save/exit game in NAV map or command room view.
9. Have multiple saves per patrol incase last one is corrupt so you can revert to a previous point in your patrol


If you keep crashing then it leads me to believe something interfering like old files from previous install or something of the sort.

Interesting. You blame me for not being able to tell from your poor attempt at humour that you were joking and didn't mean to offend.
Then you fixate on the use of the word 'archaic', jump to conclusions about why I used that word and then proceed to use that to try and offend me again. You go from apologetic (but not really) to defensive and abrasive at the flick of a switch. Maybe this is this another 'joke' or rather you do mean to offend and are just someone who likes to gatekeep and belittle those he thinks are below him because he has a working version of a modpack.

About you noticing the word 'archaic'. You noticed that detail but failed to notice that I play other modpacks of SH3 and that I have been a lurking member here since 2019. Stop kneejerking and pay attention to what people are writing and you'll tell I'm no 'console' user who happened to take a wrong turn and finds himself in a strange forum, out of his depth. Hmm, paying attention to what people have written - wasn't that your own advice?

Humor is sometimes very difficult to convey through written text. I think you two guys just misunderstood each other and no disrespect was intended.

No, I think he just likes to attack people and then call it humour, judging by the bait-and-switch of his last comment.

@Deadmode. Nobody can know if you are an experienced user or just a random person who didn´t bother to read the instructions. Believe me, the second category can be observed very often and is usually quite annoying.


Random people or not, this type of warm welcome can only hurt the community. I would recommend that Kal_Maximus_U669 is encouraged not to be the first point-of-contact for newcomers to your forums and have someone with a little more tact be responsible for sounding out their issues and directing them accordingly.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but modding modern games is a breeze compared to getting these old, fragile and fussy games to work reliably. The process is actually very alien to many who only have experience in games from the last decade and the documentation is not as well written as is being touted here, especially when language limitations are also present.
Showing a little more patience to those struggling but showing interest in your games and modpacks would go a long way.

|I responded to you on Onealex discord

Thanks mate. I'll respond to you there. I appreciate the help without the pre-judgment and conclusion-jumping that sounds like the normal precedent here these days.

It seems to me that this gentleman tells us that he knows what he is talking about...

So since that's how these backups don't work... I recommended you it seems to me to be careful with "Hsie" watch your anti virus... etc... that's the experience...

how can you help yourself if this gentleman does not want to read...?

But, I must offer my congratulations that your game works. This makes it clear that anyone having trouble getting this mod to work must be at fault. Thank you for your help. /s

keep your congratulations...yes this mod works. When you take the time to read...
But sir remains camped in "affirmations" says to have experience... that the problem does not come from his assembly...


I quote you
No, I think he just likes to attack people and then call it humor, judging by the bait and switch of his last comment.

you make me laugh with your counter-psychology...
Really, you tell me that it's an archaic niche game.... Why this archaic game doesn't work and resists you...!!! for a man of experience it is astonishing...!!! that's not how we support the community..
since it seems we can't teach you anything.... what do you want..

Now who are you to recommend me here..?
Personally I don't judge you and don't give instructions to others here about you...so a little respect please my gas...(I didn't herd the cows with you)
Know my dear friend that I have already helped more than once here and elsewhere...
People who want to find the problems in their installation in order to play the mod.. because they watch.. read. Execute the explanations provided...
Now I support Onealex mods since the beginning of its implementation here...I exchange with Alex...because even I am here for information in order to understand what I am doing..

“Being a little more patient with those who are struggling, but caring about your games and modpacks would go a long way”

I do it willingly with people who read and understand..
Listen you're tiring me out.. I've had enough...

Hmm, be careful what people wrote - wasn't that your own advice?"

With your hasty conclusions, to "The cookie cutter" especially the last part... you're still Psy maybe...?
I like the story of the masked member... then when you tell me to be careful what people write then.... it's the height for someone who doesn't like to read...
I won't continue this useless stupid gossip debate...
you can thank kyle9154 for helping you...

[Deadmode]

You're unbelievable.

Not only can you not comprehend anything I'm saying at all but you also have such a poor grasp of english that your replies are bonderline incomprehensible.

I'll assume that everything that has occurred here is due to the language barrier and not you being a complete arsehole. That's called 'giving you the benefit of the doubt', even though I fear that it's misplaced.

Although you feel confident that what you are doing is 'helping', I assure you it's not. It's the complete opposite, in fact. For a great example of how to be helpful, see 'kyle9154's approach - he supplies potential solutions to my issue without any of the attitude, judgement, assumptions or mockery you used.

Regarding any further issues with this mod, I will be using the discord so that hopefully I don't come across you again in the future, because you are incredibly insufferable - language barrier or not.

[FUBAR295]

You both need to stop, step back and take a deep breath. :yep:

[kyle9154]

Yeah agreed, starting to get out of hand and it's true Kal is hard to understand at the best of times. As for his attitude what do you expect...he's french Mon Ami lol....just kidding Kal but to be serious let's focus on the mod here and not personal arguments. It never helps where there's drama, gets you no where.

[Jimbuna]

That's quite enough thank you. Take it to PM's and refrain from posting your disagreements in public.

I thank you both in advance for your cooperation.

... when I launch the SH3.exe file (the one in the onealex path at C:\SH3 - NOT the steam version) both intro movies play fine, but after the 2nd intro movie the following prompt appears:
https://i.ibb.co/7nd7MXc/Snapshot1-002.jpg

Two ways that can happen (that I can remember). Number one is that you do not have the DirectX v9.0c library installed. You could try that from the Microsoft Download Center (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=35). It has the parts which SH3 needs. I have my doubts though, that it is at issue here, since you have the Steam version installed, which should have put the proper files in Windows system... Another possible fix is by noodling with the Properties settings on the SH3.exe file. Some experimentation might be required here, since no two computers are alike. Navigate into your SH3 game install folder that you modded, and select the SH3.exe file. Right-click on the file, and choose "Properties" at the bottom of the resultant context menu. That will open the Properties dialog to the General tab. Click on the "Compatibility" tab, and change the "Compatibility Mode". On one computer, I am set to WinXP SP2, on another, only Win7 works. YMMV.

https://i.imgur.com/bP46VIS.jpg

In that picture above, it is an SH4 install in Win10, but the same applies for SH3 and / or Win11. On all of my Silent Hunter installs, I have "Disable fullscreen optimizations" ticked. On most machines, I have "Run this program as administrator". On all machine, I had to click on the "Change high DPI settings" button, which then opens that 'top' window you see there, and I clicked on "Override high DPI scaling..." and chose "Application".

You also should match the display settings in the mod with your computer. If a mod is using a 1920x1080 widescreen utility, your computer must be capable of that. If you try to run on a 1372x768 or similar laptop, it will usually fail. On some computers, you can get by with "Windowed mode", but I cannot get that to fly for SH3 on my computers. I end up with a re-sized screen that only shows maybe a third of what the game is trying to run...


As for another user unable to get a good "Search" on the site, use an external Search engine, and plug-in "Site:subsim.com/radioroom SearchTerm SearchTerm" and see if you don't get more appropriate hits. One also cannot forget that there are multiple native languages for members on the site, and "Translate" does not always do a good job translating the idiosyncrasies of the written language. The main thing, as always, is PAY ATTENTION TO THE MODERATORS!!!
That's quite enough thank you. Take it to PM's and refrain from posting your disagreements in public.

I thank you both in advance for your cooperation.

Lately in this mod the game just wont let me start a new career without crashing to desktop.
The part that confuses me is I didnt change anything from the last time it didnt cash, so Im lost as to what the problem could be :k_confused:

[JerseySeven]

Yeah same I think it has to do with this version of the mod, since it never did that before

Do you mean v1.52? I've been playing v1.48 with no problems but have been thinking of doing a new install with 1.52. Is v1.51 OK?

Danke

[Doolar]

1.52 works great, no issues here

[CapZap1970]

1.52 works great, no issues here
Same here... :yep:

[FUBAR295]

Worked right out of the box and no issues using 1.52. For GWX, it is about the best mod you can utilize.

[JerseySeven]

Thanks captains! I decided to give 1.52 a try, and am enjoying it. It definitely is one of the best super mods.

If I click that button to get the depth under keel will bad guys hear it and know where I'm at?

[jscharpf]

Ok so this is confusing, sorry I'm slow lol.

I did a fresh install of SH3 have it at "C:\SHIII" .. Haven't run the game yet or done anything.

Downloaded the latest OneAlex file (1.5.2), and unzipped it.

Reading the instructions.

Unpack
Set Start in Windows 7 compatibility mode for sh3.exe.

Which SH3.exe? The one I just installed or the one in the unzipped folder?
Am I playing the game out of the folder that I just installed or the folder I just unzipped?
Why does it look like an entire game is in the downloaded folder, SH3.exe included?

Help! ?

[stoppro]

i'm with jeff i started it with she icon intro sreen right away its playing no commander or anything i did something wronged but i don't know what it was i need block by block instructions please thanks

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Approximate system requirements for a normal game (may be less, the megamod was tested on sufficiently powerful computers):
1. Processor I5 / I7 5th generation and higher (or its AMD equivalent).
2. Video card GeForce 900 series or higher (or its AMD equivalent).
3. Widescreen monitor or 1080p monitor. A Desktop is required, not a laptop.

INSTALLATION
1. Unpack the archive preferably using 7zip and install to your main C://drive folder, however DO NOT install to your Program Files.
2. Set 'Run in Windows 7 compatibility mode' for SH3.exe, JSGME.exe, SH3Cmdr.exe files and run these programs as administrator.
3. Run the game using the SH3.exe shortcut so that the game creates a save folder in your documents folder of your PC.
4. Set the parameters to English, German speech and English keyboard language then exit the game.
5. Use the JSGME utility (in the root directory) to install the necessary submods you want to use then select SH3Commander.exe
6. Check the box "Rollback automatically after exiting SH3", and choose the desired game options.
7. Launch the game by pressing Launch SH3! (blue tick), in the future run the game only through SH Commander. Enjoy!!! (edited)

P.S. no need for previous install of the game, game comes with the mod as Ubisoft doesn't support SH3 anymore so you use the.exe that comes with this mod, get rid of any old sh3 files/document folders/installations off your PC's and then follow the instructions I posted.

We can talk easier on the Onealex mod discord if you wish - https://discord.gg/bKCdQekE4W

[stoppro]

i understand all that, what is happening nothing is installing it just runs.sh commander says it has nowhere to go,jsmg just opens showing me the mods.sh exe the icon starts the indro loads the screen for traing i click on it ctd. i just want to install it

[stoppro]

I got it to work right out of the download file, new to me. thanks looks nice !

[jscharpf]

I realized that in the end all I had to do was download the big file and use it. I wouldn't have to even had installed SH3 .
With that said, what I DID do was, install SH3, then copy all if the OneAlex files directly over all of my SH3 files..
I know that this was not recommended but it works just fine. I'm assuming it really doesn't matter.

[Doolar]

glad it worked out for you, and all is good. you will love it

Why don't torpedoes hit ships?
they pass under the keel, even if I put 1m as depth

[Tonci87]

Why don't torpedoes hit ships?
they pass under the keel, even if I put 1m as depth

Torpedo failure. This is historically accurate.
Early in the war the Germans had a lot of issues with torpedoes running too deep, exploding prematurely, not detonating at all, etc.

[kyle9154]

Why don't torpedoes hit ships?
they pass under the keel, even if I put 1m as depth

It's because of a built in realism feature called realistic torpedo failures which is part of .hsie realism features that most mega mods have included. If you read the v61b manual in the documentation folder within the main SH3 folder it will state the feature at what it does. Basically to ensure your torpedoes fail very rarely you need to take what ever windspeed is at the time . Ex says it 10m winds then you times windspeed by 4 divided by 10 and that's the depth you set your torpedo. So 10m x 0.4 /10 = 4 so 4m is minimum depth you need to set it.

[zeus]

Ok. thank you very much

If you don't want to then I understand but trust me once you start using discord you'll never go back to the old inconvenient subsim messaging. click the link make a free account with email and pass if you don't have one already and then bob's your uncle...easey peasey.

What does this mod do, exactly ?

What does this mod do, exactly ?

It does everything really, adds realism patches in, essential graphic and gameplay mods, ships etc. Basically its a modified GWX 3.0 to look better and is more realistic difficulty wise.

Hi all!
I found this mod recently and fell in love. God save the author:)
I'm using Onealex 1.52, no other mods, and have a few questions:
-started a career in 1st flotilla on IIA uboat. Can i change IIA for VIIB uboat somehow or i need a strat new career? In GWX mode, I could buy IID or VIIB for renown points.
-On the map F5 in the upper right corner you can find a pop-up compass repeater. Sometimes another tool pops up in this place - an attack disk or similar. It would be great to use it, but I can't figure out how to find it. It only pops up randomly. Is it a bug?
-I strongly need advice how to find enemy ships. Sailing to the east coast of GB - AN55, 52, 47, dive on 30-40m and use hydrophone - nothing. Some times small coastal vessel, but most of time - silence. Tried sail to the Orkney islands - only bunch of warships there:( All the ships that I sank so far, I met on the surface somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic:(

Tried sail to the Orkney islands - only bunch of warships there:( All the ships that I sank so far, I met on the surface somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic:(

Can you jump on the Onealex discord so we can help you easier, i think you may have a left over installation or files. This mod doesn't require you to have vanilla sh3 installed, it has the game all built into it.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi kyle
Thank you for your reply.
The mod was downloaded into a new folder, extracted from the zip file and installed.
Sh3.exe > JSGME > Commander all set to Windows 7 compatibility and administrators.

Try doing another fresh install of the mod but do it this way instead.

INSTALLATION
1. Unpack the mod preferably using 7zip and install to your main C://drive folder, however DO NOT install to your Program Files.
2. Right click on the SH3.exe, JSGME.exe and SH3Cmdr.exe files and go to properties then under 'compatibility tab' set run this program in windows 7 then select run as administrator (click apply).
https://i.gyazo.com/26dca76401c05476b8b2286de3c7f5ae.png
3. Then run the game using the SH3.exe shortcut so that the game creates a save folder in your documents folder of your PC.
4. Set the parameters to English, German speech and English keyboard language then exit the game.
5. Use the JSGME.exe in the main SH3 folder to install the necessary submods you want to use then select SH3Commander.exe in the SH3Commander folder.
6. Check the box "Rollback automatically after exiting SH3", and choose the desired game options.
https://i.gyazo.com/4708a0d3db6e2ce26ae1a69e637b670d.jpg
7. Launch the game by pressing Launch SH3! (blue tick), in the future run the game only through SH3 Commander. Enjoy!!!

If that doesn't work then you'll have to join the Onealex discord so we can troubleshoot with you by sharing your screen on discord in a video call.

Hi, started new type II campaign in 1939 with Onealex. Have already run 5 patrols successfully, but when I jump from 1939 to 1940 (sixth patrol starts), the game refuses to load the sixth patrol and crashed to desktop. I have saved in-game 5th patrol just at the end, and every time I end the fifth patrol "again" it still refuses to load 6th patrol. Just wonder but it has something to do with year..?

It happens from time to time. Old SH3 bug

[Shilka]

I re-installed the Onealex mod (I might've actually installed on top of Steam install the first one). The new install is standalone as per instructions. Now it works and I can continue the old saves with this new one.

Curious, I cannot get v1.53 to run, it crashes to desktop with the loading bar perhaps 10% along. All previous versions have run without issues so I'm not sure what's happening or why. No clues from the error message, which just states that "Silent Hunter 3 has stopped working".

Just to be clear, the main menu and career screens open just fine, the CTD happens when loading from the orders screen.

I have reverted back to v1.52 and will tinker with v1.53 on my laptop.

If you want to make your own thread then go for it. I'm just saying that Alex wouldn't appreciate the links on his thread. He has a understandably big hate on for Russians and anything to do with the language that people that are Russian get banned from his discord wether they support the war or not. His rules not mine, I'm just helping him enforce his rules is all.

I understand your point. It's just a way of communication, it's a tool, like a hammer or planer for a carpenter. If the carpenter is a bastard, then this does not mean that the hammer is to blame. onealex is going through very difficult times. Perhaps, in his place, I would have behaved the same way. I can understand him. I will create own thread. I hope onealex doing well. I am completely on his side. Thank you for such sensitive attention to this wonderful modder.

GWXOneAlex-Mod 1.53 Oxygen wont replemish is there a key i press to replemish oxygen or should it do it automaticaly like the batteries recharge ok.
Do I have bad install any help appreciated kind regards blackswan40

[Doolar]

The air in the boat will replenish itself, back to 21% after a few minutes of surfacing.

The "breathable air (O2)" will not. If the Chief Engineer need to add breathable Oyxgen to the boat during a long dives and when the Oxygen drops below 17%, that is not replenishable. I've had to use it from time to time and have never ran short. I use the values set by OneAlex. You can adjust these values via the H.Sie Option selector sliders. located in the SH3 Game Folder / Support folder. I personally like the way OneAlex set these values.

Now if you mean the "Compressed Air" for blowing ballist, that will also replenish itself, but it will take some time.

Hope this helps

[Captain Johno]

Hi guys,

Getting back into SH3 with the GWX Onealex edition (along with everyone else), after having played GWX back in 2020.


Read through steps to create a "Dummy Career" as mentioned in the GWX manual, under Game Bugs/Saved Games, Page 14 (PDF 27/644)
- "Players who have just one career in stock Silent Hunter III will occasionally find their career has no saved games . . . . . .so the GWX team suggests you create a ―dummy‖ career (e.g., for Leutnant z. S. Fubar) before starting your real career to ensure this does not happen."

GWX OneAlex also makes reference to this on 8/64 ".
-"For the stable operation of the save system, it makes sense to keep a dummy career in which the boat went on one trip and is now in the database. "

So what do I actually do to satisfy the criteria, and how far do I have to go into the mission to initiate this successful Career SAVE?

Select "Default Player" / Accept / New Career /
Select 1939 / 1st Flortille
Mission (Select Map) - Read -"PAtrol Area AO44" - Kiel to Kiel
START


So can I just SAVE & EXIT, after viewing the boat in port. Or do I have to take the boat out to see and leave there, or return to port completing the patrol. Obviously I'll never be returning to use this "Default Player" again, moving on to create my careers through SH3 Commander !


P.S.
I posted here because the GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod) forums seems inaccessible at the moment, and searching seemed to only reveal posts from "2007"

[Tigerzhunters]

you need save outside Port Or Result Ctd When you load The Save :Kaleun_Wink:

[Doolar]

Captain Johno, I do the same thing. I create a "dummy" career, never to return to it. I just roll out for a bit and make sure all is working fine. Exit and save, after about 20-30 minutes, regardless of the "Save Game Suggestions". Now I've got one in the data base. I usually name it something like "OneAlex Tester" and leave it there forever. Now for my real or serious careers, I do follow the "SAVE GAME Suggestions" to avoid issues down the road. Trust me on this. I don't think I've ever had a save reload problem. Hope this helps.

Welcome aboard mate!

Did you install SH3 outside program files(×86)?
Did you apply 4gb patch or LAA?

Put SH3.exe with W7 compatibility (or XP) and administrator privileges.

Use the correct GUI for your display resolution.

If you want a very stable modded SH3 try NYGM Steel Coffins. But I have GWX Onealex and works fine in my W11 PC.

Good hunt!

Dear,
"Did you install SH3 outside program files(×86)?"
I think it no need "install", just unpack to any folder.
And run.

no additional mod via JSGME
I tried many locations,

fisrt location was c:/Users/user/silent hunter 3
automatically set from Ubisoft.
Then i try just replace in this folder Toyota's mod. and its worked

I move folder to d:\ i run unpacked in other folder,
I remove ubi instlation, I tried new folder ubi instalation,
remove again ubi. All same result:
Oryginal works, Toyota works (still), Onealex - only academy.

I remeber i tried also validation, and it was do something, but now, validation not work, it send me message "run as administrator" even if i run as administrator.

Well...I run OneAlex in my W11 PC, I have the "SH3" folder in my E unit (C is another unit in my PC with the OS, etc). I added heavy mods to OneAlex (heavy itself). I added the full interiors of WAC 5, I added more ships, I added music, I added the full sounds of WAC 5, I added the winter harbors from WAC 5....I don't have problems and the mod is very stable. Try to redownload OneAlex, and use the SH3 folder only for the mod, do not use the installation for Toyota or another mod. I have NYGM FiFi but in a parallel Steam installation with multiSH3.

I have the Hsie app, and the "contents" files from Hsie and Stiebler of NYGM FiFi in the SH3 OneAlex folder. I ran Hsie app and set 4gb patch and the others options as in NYGM. Same for Stiebler. So, I use in OneAlex the same Hsie/Stiebler config from NYGM. And all works very fine. You don't have the Hsie app in the SH3 OneAlex folder, so I think you need it from another place, and I use that included in NYGM FiFi.

Have luck, hope you can run this great mod.

I can tell your already going about the installation the wrong way, you dont need to download .hsie and stiebler hardcoded fixes as their already patched to the SH3.exe as well as the 4GB patch in the Onealex mod. I don't know how you got things working Fitz but your duplicating things you dont need too. Onealex has everything NYGM has just maybe a touch less difficulty on the stats and values wise of damage and sensors but very hardcore tough mod just like NYGM, slightly less hardcore GUI too then NYGM but everything else is similar. Also why don't you join the official Onealex discord Fitz, faster and easier to chat about the mod that way. Plus onealex already includes all of Thomsens sounds plus Das Boot movie phrases etc.

P.S. The stiebler and .hsie files are in the 'support' folder of the mod but the SH3.exe is indeed patched with them with the options that Alex ticked off for his own playstyle. You can re-edit the SH3.exe with your own hsie and stiebler options by doing this:

1. Copy your SH3.exe from your SH3 game (installation) folder and place it in your SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 Folder.
2. Now, you can run the HsieOptionsSlector_v16B1.exe. You CAN NOT run the HsieOptionsSelector without the SH3.exe temporarily located in the SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 folder.
3. Make your changes and exit the HsieOptionsSelector and you'll get a message that your SH3.exe has been "updated", or something like that.
4. Now, when your back to the SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 Folder, move your newly patched SH3.exe back to your SH3 game folder, like it was in step 1.

3. Make your changes and exit the HsieOptionsSelector and you'll get a message that your SH3.exe has been "updated", or something like that.
4. Now, when your back to the SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 Folder, move your newly patched SH3.exe back to your SH3 game folder, like it was in step 1.

Many thanks for all the help!

Actually, I'm working on my own version of GWX, a crazy soup of Onealex, WAC 5 and NYGM Fifi. This is why I'm touching here and there Hsie, Stiebler, adding ships, skins via Commander, sounds (I prefer WAC 5 sounds to Onealex mix); and I have a full interior from WAC 5 for the Type IX. Now I'm testing my soup in 12/1939, with a Type IXB, full interior, 1920x1080 resolution, and all is working well (departed from Wilhelmshaven, Second Flotilla). The museum with added ships is OK and the patrol (now in AM25) after two merchants sunk, is working very fine, no problems with savegames.

Basically, my soup is an Onealex enhanced. At the moment, for my own use and tests.

Best regards.

Try reinstall There probably something was Corrupted :hmmm:

[Bartholomew Roberts]

I can tell your already going about the installation the wrong way, you dont need to download .hsie and stiebler hardcoded fixes as their already patched to the SH3.exe as well as the 4GB patch in the Onealex mod. I don't know how you got things working Fitz but your duplicating things you dont need too. Onealex has everything NYGM has just maybe a touch less difficulty on the stats and values wise of damage and sensors but very hardcore tough mod just like NYGM, slightly less hardcore GUI too then NYGM but everything else is similar. Also why don't you join the official Onealex discord Fitz, faster and easier to chat about the mod that way. Plus onealex already includes all of Thomsens sounds plus Das Boot movie phrases etc.

P.S. The stiebler and .hsie files are in the 'support' folder of the mod but the SH3.exe is indeed patched with them with the options that Alex ticked off for his own playstyle. You can re-edit the SH3.exe with your own hsie and stiebler options by doing this:

1. Copy your SH3.exe from your SH3 game (installation) folder and place it in your SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 Folder.
2. Now, you can run the HsieOptionsSlector_v16B1.exe. You CAN NOT run the HsieOptionsSelector without the SH3.exe temporarily located in the SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 folder.
3. Make your changes and exit the HsieOptionsSelector and you'll get a message that your SH3.exe has been "updated", or something like that.
4. Now, when your back to the SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 Folder, move your newly patched SH3.exe back to your SH3 game folder, like it was in step 1.

But I copy the content in sh3 folder into my sh3 fold overwrite the files as the readme said. crash in loading mission or career mission, even can't open museum. latest version 1.53 , try to find 1.52 but no where to be found.

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Try reinstall There probably something was Corrupted :hmmm:

tried multiple times, no luck. Is this because 1.53 is still testing? Where can I get the 1.52 version.

solution found，no need to over write my copy. just unzip and run

To test that it's not a RAM problem, install these 2 blank campaign files with JSGME:

Hello all, I'm new to the game and I'm so eager to play but have been having issues getting the game to load. I downloaded Onealex 1.53, joined their discord, and followed the instructional video they have pinned on how to install correctly. I do everything right in the video, and have even tried to troubleshoot by reading the forum here among others, but still can't get anything running. I launch the game through the commander after creating a new campaign. I match the year and floatilla to what I selected in the commander. Start the first mission, and the loading screen comes up. The bar goes all the way full, and I wait for several minutes. One time I waited an hour just to see if it needed a long time to load the first time, but it never did. I don't get an error message of any kind, nor does my game crash. I can just tab out no problem. Is anyone else having this issue? What are some troubleshooting suggestions you may have? All help is appreciated, happy hunting to all. Thanks

[Aktungbby]

reedj40! :Kaleun_Salute: & Jaggs90!:Kaleun_Salute:

[Doolar]

not to be a pain, but these steps are easy to miss :

did you set the 3 files SH3.exe, Cmdr.exe and JSGME.exe to a compatibillity of Win 7 and run as administrator. In my rush, I messed up here once and assuming I did set these, I was pulling my hair out. Easy to miss.

did you start the game with the SH3.exe, first to set the "SAVE" folder

[stork100]

In addition to Doolar's excellent tips, and it may be repeating the obvious for some, but for those having problems make sure you're not applying the mod to an existing SH3 installation. It doesn't need it - the mod is completely standalone. It just needs to be unzipped to its own location, tweaked according to the instructions and play. If you have another SH3 install, probably best to remove it first.

[reedj40]

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have set all of the compatibility settings correctly, and started the game up to create a save folder using the sh3 exe file just as the instructions say to. Is there anything else I may be missing? I am stumped, as well as several others on the onealex discord. We've tried everything that they can think of and still having the same issue of it not loading me into the game upon starting my first mission. Any other tips or tricks anyone is willing to share are greatly appreciated. Thanks

[reedj40]

Hi all, I’ve installed every thing correctly, but when I start the first mission of my new campaign, the game never fully loads me into the sub. Can someone please help me figure out what’s going on? All help is appreciated. Thanks

It will not be added back in as this mod is based on historical realism, too much work to do just for some people to have unless someone wants to make a UI submod for it. Plus you can get your questions answered much faster over at the official GWX Onealex discord server.

I have encountered a bug where all ships sound like they are breaking up and howling on the hydrophone. No propeller sound. Just the sinking and breaking-up sound.

hi,


i just downloaded from the link posted in your utube channel, v1.52.


when i unzip the file a few files were reported by my norton as having virus.
-GWX Onealex Edition 1.52.7z\SH3\sh3sim.act has a trojan


-GWX Onealex Edition 1.52.7z\SH3\Support\Stiebler4C_V16B1\Stiebler4C_Ad don_for_V16B1\ all 3 .act file reported to have some 'heuristic pattern', not sure what that means.


-GWX Onealex Edition 1.52.7z\SH3\Support\Stiebler4C_V16B1\Stiebler_EnvS im\envsim.act has the same 'heuristic pattern'.


sorry to hear about whats happening over there. stay strong and stay safe.


Same thing here. Also the base GWX.3 doesn't set anything off. I'm not saying it *is* a virus as it could well be a 'false positive', but I'd like to know why Onealex does set it off while GWX doesn't.

You need to disable any antivirus programs when downloading and installing Onealex mod or you'll have corrupt install.

Oh no, I voluntarily done the scan myself. The problem is that the files are there; files which didn't bring up flags in the original GWX mod. Again I'm not automatically assuming that they're real viruses, but I'm not automatically giving them a green light either. It's just a stiebler/hsie thing?

Those two files are modified by Hsie and Stiebler patches; OneAlex mod has both prepatched (already patched), so are different from SH3 vanilla and GWX files. Could be your AV detected these modified files, but they aren´t viruses.

And all works fine...I have OA installed and can play without problems.

Good hunt!

Thanks for the explaination, it's been too long since I've played GWX and the main reason for that is the CTDs especially around minefields, so I'm hoping that's fixed at least in part. For some reason GWX 3.0 placed minefields which were above the software's capability to load, and you couldn't delete the minefields without going through a ton of other editor fixes.

[SDFilm]

My mission editor is borked. I guess it has something to do with the widescreen mod since back in the day I used to disable the widescreen to get the editor to work. Perhaps there's a...standard resolution mod to use while creating missions?

GWX can certainly run on Steam but I'm not sure what you've done with it for that to happen. Reinstall and don't use sub commander?

Fixed the mission editor; remove the d3d9 files and put them into their own sub-mod. Active the mod when you want to play the game, deactivate the mod when you want to edit missions.

If your game crush to desktop after any career or single missions finish the red bar loading, try those:
1. Right-click on your desktop, go to Intel Graphics Properties, and change the monitor refresh rate from 59Hz to 60Hz.
2. Change the compatibility mode from win7 to winXP pack2.

[ElCid97]

It's been a few months since I've messed around with anythnig "sub" related, so I thought I'd give the OneAlex version a try since I haven't tried the U-Boat side in a LONG time.

I was having exactly the same issue you are having. Loads great and can even get to the point where I'm launching the game.

Every time I tried to go from a "2-D" type screen (menu, starting career patrol, etc) over to a "3-D" screen (the command room where you start in the sub), I would get the black screen then go to desktop.

I have an AMD card -- and system -- with this new rig I got second hand a few weeks ago, so I'm still learning the "ropes" with this thing.

What I CAN tell you is that you have to MAKE SURE that the card is set to "application control" for the anti-aliasing. On my software for the Radeon control there's also a "tesselation" setting that is set to "application control" now as well.

The actual wording on my software is: Use Application Settings

There is also a section for "GPU Workload" that is set for "computing" instead of "graphics" setting.

I was able to get to the control room of the u-boat ONLY AFTER those particular changes.

The other settings can be done from the part in the PDF that's included with the OneAlex 7Z file. It's just after the portion that deals with the minimum requirements. There are a few images of an NVidia setup that OneAlex has which can be used with AMD. You just have to figure out what the values for the different things are since they are a little different with AMD, but it's possible to get it to work.

So, in short: set the anti-aliasing of the AMD card to "application control" and the thing SHOULD work as long as you meet the other requirements for the hardware.

For what it's worth, here are the specs of my "new" rig:

2013 CyberPower AMD computer
-------------------------------

Main: Quad-Core 3.75 Ghz AMD FX 4300 series
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 at 1600 hz
Video: 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM at 1750 AMD RX 460

I used to be able to run mods and play the career mode without any issues, especially when launching using the SH3 command. However, after I loaded the "widescreen magui modified" mod using JSGME, I was not satisfied with the interior decorations of the submarine. So, I uninstalled the "widescreen magui modified" mod, but as a result, I could no longer launch the career mode.

In frustration, I decided to delete the entire game, and I downloaded another copy of SH3, specifically the version from "sh3onealex," from the internet. After reinstalling the game, I encountered the same issue – I couldn't launch the career mode.

In a last-ditch effort, I loaded the "Das Boot" music mod through JSGME, which I hadn't used before. Surprisingly, this allowed me to successfully launch the career mode! I'm not sure what the root cause of the problem was; I simply stumbled upon a solution by chance.:k_confused:
Additional explanation: If I load the Das Boot music using JSGME for my old copy of SH3, I cannot access the career mode.

See the H.sie mod documentation for how to change this. It's in the "Stiebler" folder (a common mistake of many "newer" SH3 players is thinking all the mods in the H.sie patch were done by Stiebler) in the support folder of the mod.

I'm delighted... yes certain parameters can display all black textures..
this is why it is important to have fine adjustments...Now enjoy playing with this mod which is one of the best here..Alex has worked a lot on it...I recommend Tonci87's YT channel..a job to stream as I liked it..

Feeling the itch to go back to the sea to hunt merchants, so I installed this mod. :)

Is the H.sie/Stiebler mod already installed in OneAlex by default, or do I have to install it manually?

the H.sie/Stiebler mod already installed it is already configured but you can change as you wish...

you go here D:\Sh3\SilentHunterIIIOneAlex\Support\Stiebler4C_V 16B1
then you copy your sh3.exe you configure your "H.sie/Stiebler" you validate then you bring it back to the root of your game and you are ready to play...

Strange...I never see this, and I was navigating Dogger Bank.

Do you use some additional mod for bathymetry? OneAlex is bassically GWX with other mods added, GWX bathymetry works well, and I don´t think OneAlex changed the bathymetry map. Or climate change arrived to SH3...:k_confused:

I´ll report if I see this in my OneAlex. Did you try to comment this in the Discord group for OneAlex?

You are using MaGUI, I never use it in OneAlex (I have 1920x1080 res), and I can´t tell if the Tycho mod for full map works with MaGUI. You doesn´t have the full map. Is this an issue? I remember when I used MaGUI with GWX in 1360x720 res, but I had the full map, ever. I don´t understand why you use 1360x720 MaGUI and doesn´t have the full map. If you are using 1920x1080 and use MaGUI, it is wrong.

Only a comment...

You can try the default GUI (ARB) in OneAlex with 1920x1080 and see what happen with your Aquaman reigns...What resolution are you trying to use with OneAlex?

Best regards.

About Dogger Bank :)

I deleted all old files, downloaded new archive again, start new career with no mods and go to AN59... Atlantis is there)

Please, guys, start new career or 1 patrol mission and go at this patrol sector :ping: for found about 10-15 buildings... At 1024x they are fly by 1-2 second...

I can confirm that I have seen this too, nothing I can do about it unless Onealex himself looks at it and that is highly unlikely as he's in the middle of a warzone right now and hasn't been heard or seen from in over 3 months.

[fitzcarraldo]

Hello, how is the Onealex mod installed? Many greetings

Download it, and copy the "SH3" folder in your main directory. Start SH3.exe, put your options (only german for voices, video, music...), exit the game. Start SH3 Commander, select your options, and play...You can change the options for Hsie and Stiebler mods with the apps in the folder "support". You have some addon mods in the "mods" folder, activate them via JSGME.

That´s all...

Best regards.

I made a "raking" in the sector:

Coordinates: 54 grad ~30 min N, 1 grad ~45 min E
Patrol sector: AN59 (~AN5932)

but I do not see anything in the area (I´m not Robert Ballard, though :k_confused:).

Also, the cfg file doesn´t contain any entry about "Atlantis".

My installation is a pure GWX OneAlex 1.53 downloaded via the link in YouTube. For this search, no mods added.

I opened de campaign.LND file with ME and there are (not in the exact position), some "ENV..." entries, but in the game I didn´t see the buildings.

Maybe is it a corrupted copy of OneAlex mod? Maybe you do not delete the SH3 folder in "my documents" before install the 1.53 version? Maybe some savegame created a corrupted scenery and appear the buildings?

I´ll report if I find something in the zone.

Best regards.

It’s probably an Easter egg could have even been put in by Ubisoft. I have heard a lot of content was cut from the final game like being able to. Call in air strikes or being able to search merchants. And **** like a full interior. Just combing through the game files alone reveals tons of stuff

[K-61]

I installed this mod today. I'm a very experienced player and mod user from many years ago, just returning to the game.

I have the game all set up and a small number of mods installed in OneAlex via the included JSGME. No conflicts there. The game starts fine using SH3 Commander and I am trying to start a new career. After choosing my new captain's flotilla and starting year the loading bar quickly fills to full red, but then just sits there. I waited patiently for 25 minutes and nothing happens. I've tried numerous times, both with a new career and just trying to load a naval academy exam. Same result each time: loading bar quickly reaches full red and then does nothing.

My computer is not new but is no slouch, either. It is a Dell gaming rig with 8 GB video card and 16 GB of system RAM. It has always loaded other mods very quickly as I have an SSD as my C:\ drive.

This one is stumping me and if I cannot get it to run I am going to cry, knowing I am losing out on a great mod.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Edit: Here are a few more details for my system...

CPU: Intel i7 9700K @ 3.6 GHz
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 8 GB GDDR6
System: Windows 10 Home 64 bit, 16 GB RAM

[Randomizer]

We have similar systems and the Onealex mod typically takes 20+ minutes to load on my machine. My rules for visually complex mods like Onealex or Fifi are:
Wait,
Wait some more,
Wait longer than you want,
Wait longer than you should,
Wait longer than you have,
Keep waiting, and at some point it should start.

Check for conflicts, sometimes a error message window opens behind the game which must be closed before the loading can complete. If present, it will generally detail where the error is, often an entry in the ...\Menu_1064_768.ini is the offending file. If the loading bar appears to have frozen, minimize SH3 to see if it generated the error message.

Fifi's latest mod takes more than 25-minutes to load, a bit longer than Onealex v53.

If there are no hidden issues, it then becomes up to you whether the waiting is worth the results, a value judgement that only you can make. Good Luck!

First thing to try is uninstalling any mods you've added and try the game with just the stock OA mod. If that works, then one of the mods is the problem.
It may be that the 4gb patch of the H.sie patch isn't working correctly, but try the above first.

:o 25 minutes, that's crazy! If you can, maybe get some more ram. I have 32mb and both mods load in a couple or three minutes. Only 16 more megs of ram shouldn't make that much difference though.....

I think long loading times are not due to the RAM. If you haven't enough RAM, the game will just crash...

It's rather the CPU speed (in GHz) which will determine the loading time.

From the internet: "A 3.5 GHz processor and at least 8 GB of RAM are recommended for CPU-intensive gaming."

I assume that any SH3 supermod is like intensive-gaming....

It's not a question of having enough ram to run the game. Fwiw, I have a lesser cpu and gpu than K-61 has.

Hi everyone.

I wish to report that after a day spent fiddling around and much labour I have been able to get OneAlex to load and run. I have not yet tried a career patrol as I need to read through the documentation and relearn some of the keyboard commands. I can't get the UZO to load up but I did read something about that earlier today. I will spend some time with the manual and I am sure I will find there what I need to know.

I took the boat out for a quick spin in the naval academy navigation trial, not exam. I think it might help me to master the controls by doing the tutorials and then the exams before starting a career.

As for loading time, it took less than one minute to load the navigation tutorial. I am hoping this is a sign of good things to come. The mod looks gorgeous and I am looking forward to such new experiences as thermoclines.

Thank you, everyone, for your help and encouragment. Much appreciated.

OneAlex is a "supermod" all-in-one- You don´t need steam SH3, or other version. Copy-paste the SH3 folder of OneAlex as it is, and you have the game. Run Hsie app and check you have enabled the 4GB patch. This is a must have condition, without 4GB patch the mod doesn´t work. You need a medium-power PC to run it, laptops with integrated GC and/or low memory or low CPU power cause problems...It is a heavy mod. Really, all the actual supermods for SH3 are heavy; for low end computers you can play SH3 with GWX in his original version (and it is not so easy).

Good luck and Happy New Year! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Hello , at the start sorry for my English . I couple years ago i spent countless hours playing NYGM mod so my question is . what about "smartness" of convoy escort and Ai in GWX one alex mod , i remeber that in stock GWX wolfpack edition the level of escort was weak . I mean it wasnt much challenging to me .

Thanj you for your feedback

Greeting from Gdańsk ( Danzig ) Poland

[jscharpf]

I'm confused. Are you saying you're done with the OneAlex mod and going to Steam version? I have also considered doing this, because I remember being able to set SHIII just as I liked it years ago, but I've lost my original lol. I might try Steam.

[BetaWilhelm]

Does anyone know if the onealex discord is still up and running? It seems to have disappeared from my discord list and I'm unable to find it now.

In the past that has been the best resource for troubleshooting issues with the mod.

Currently trying to get Onealex running on my laptop and when I get to the initial run to create the sh3 my documents folder, I get a ctd " Cannot initialize 3d engine".

I know that error goes back a long time, usually fixed by changing dpi setting, compatibility settings, etc...
In my case all of those tees have been crossed but still getting the ctd.
Anyone else ran into this issue?

[corporalspiffy]

Is there an AOB wheel in the OneAlex mod? I can't find it anywhere.

Thanks! I will try that.
On another note, has anyone tried to make ANY modifications to the h.sie Steibler files?
What I mean is if I want to change just ONE thing from the hsie selections (maybe turn off WO inaccuracy etc.) ..
No matter what I do, when I try use it, my game crashes when launching into the sea.
I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but I've tried several ways..
1) Copy the sh3.exe into the support folder, run the hie options and make the changes.
2) copy this new sh3.exe into the Steibler folder, moving this folder into the MODS folder of the game, and enabling this mod.
result is a CTD on launch into the sea (game runs until I spawn in).
I've also tried directly overwriting the sh3.exe.. same thing.
I've also tried running that batch file on the sh3.exe first.. same thing.

My backup is that I kept a copy of the original sh3.exe so it's not a big deal but I am wondering what I'm doing wrong, as I've used the h.sie mods in previous versions of (GWX with vanilla game etc.)

Anyone have ideas or if you've successfully changed something in the hsie selector options can you tell me step by step how you did it?

This is a general observation for Onealex users who experience long loading times. This is not a critique, Onealex himself notes the issue of long loading times in his English language manual for his Mod.

Typically it took some 22-minutes to load Onealex version 1.53, which was a bit better than the 26-minutes to load the last edition of Fifi's Steel Coffins Mod. Both are spectacular Mods but the long loading times cause great inconvenience and so tend to limit their use in my world.

Tweaking the settings on my NVidia card did nothing and then on a whim I tried compressing the entire Onealex SH-III folder using the space-saving compression utility that ships with Win-7 (and presumably later versions of the OS).

Compressing the folder took about 40-minutes but now loading is accomplished in slightly under 16-minutes, a reduction of more than 25%. Moreover, everything seems to work as intended and I even resumed a saved career that had not been compressed.

So, if excessive loading times are keeping you from trying either of these awesome SH-III mods, try compressing the entire game folder, including all files and sub-folders and see if there is any improvement in the time spent waiting for that damn status bar to complete its damnably slow crawl to the right.

Good Hunting.

Loading times varies on each one’s PC, depending the PC performance/power first, the programs running in background second, if the disk capacity is full or not, and viruses or not…
I’m using a dedicated machine very clean only for my mod, almost empty and not connected to internet, with an SSD memory. It takes me up to 8mn in the worst cases to load career game. Can save everywhere even underwater close to convoys! …

:Kaleun_Salute:

[FUBAR295]

I can concur with Fifi, as my load times for NYGM currently is about 6 minutes to load it up on a SSD. It takes a tad longer for GWX with CCoM taken the longest at 8 minutes. WAC 5.0 loads about the same time as NYGM.


My frame rates run about 60 to 80 fps on average.


Good hunting,
FUBAR295

[rik007]

Loading times are very much depending on the hardware. Like Fubar and Fifi explained. I recently upgraded my PC as I was fed up with long loading times in sh3 and other games. A campaign in Fifi's mod now reloads in 1m 45 sec........ I get around 290 FPS in outside view. Which is of course overkill. Like Fubar pointed out SSD is important.

[corporalspiffy]

great mod.

i find it frustrating to flip through the recognition manual. in another mod there were images of vessels with data that popped up on the left side of the screen. is it possible to download this mod somewhere?

also. how do you move the recognition and the text window around? the text overlays the recognition manual. i seem to recall that this was possible in other versions of the game.

thanks

Hi. I installed Onealex (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2902224#post2902224) v1.53 and when I click on Museum it loads the status loading bar to 100%, hangs for several minutes, then crashes to desktop. Is there a fix? I'm on default settings with no mods installed. A vanilla installation of SH3 (non-Onealex (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2902224#post2902224)) loads the museum fine. All installation procedures were followed including Win7 compatibility settings. I'm on an OLED 4K 65" TV with gsync/VRR. Thanks for any help.

Well...It is difficult to load the museum with so many ships...

In my PC, the museum loads well with OneAlex, but If I add the Kyle´s Merchant Fleet mode (lite or full), the Museum crashes. You need a powerful machine.

Good luck.

Well, the good news first: I got the Museum to load with Onealex (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2903096#post2903096) without crashes.


The bad news: it takes 7-8 minutes to load the museum lol and I'm on a 10-core 5GHz Intel. GWX 3.0 Gold "vanilla" loads the museum in about a minute. A question: I think I'm biting off more than I can chew with the hardcore aspects of this mod so I'd like to get up to speed with the vanilla game first. Is is possible to transfer One Alex's excellent 1920 X 1080 widescreen gui into vanilla or is it hardcoded into onealex?

Search the Ahnenerbe GUI 1920x1080 here in SUBSIM. That is the GUI you want. Use Tycho Patch to obtain the full navigation map for that resolution.

Best regards.

Just started playing Onealex. It's incredible, actually. One problem I'm having is that the text in game is so TINY at 1920x1080, although that's my laptop's resolution. I tried installing the 1366x786 mod that comes with it for my eyes sake (using JSGME, of course), but that mod seems to disable Onealex. It knocks me back to vanilla. All the other mods seem to work fine.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix? On a side note, is there a "Battle Stations" command? I can't find it anywhere. In most mods it's the B key.

Thanks.

No Battle Station Command in SH3...

No Battle Stations! No! What a gyp (just kidding).

Thanks.

Ahoy,


Just started playing this mod, and I apologize if this question comes up a lot, but how does one find out the AOB using this version of the RAOBF? The video linked in the manual only shows how to find range and speed.


Thanks :Kaleun_Salute:

Hope this helps. Got these links from the OneAlex Discord. By the way the OneAlex Discord is a great resorce for anything OneAlex and more.

Thank you, the first video you linked is the one I mentioned in my initial post. If I understand it correctly, he puts in 90° AOB at periscope 0° because his course is perpendicular to the target's course. That's one way of doing it. What I'd like to know is how to use the RAOBF disk in the attack periscope view to find the AOB.


I saw in a different video that you have to count the optical length of the target using the tick marks at the bottom of the periscope, but sadly the RAOBF disk layout in that video was different from the one used in this mod.

First identify your target then calculate the distance:
- counts the number of vertical lines to the highest point of the target.
- find the corresponding number on the middle disc (bottom numbers) and turn the disc until you have your number at the very top (opposite the 90 on the inner disc)
- reads the distance (middle disk, top numbers) displayed opposite the target height (outer disk) found in the identification book
- count the number of horizontal lines
- on your raobf disk turn the middle disk to match your distance found with the length of the target
- find the number of horizontal lines that you previously observed on the middle disk (bottom numbers) the AOB is the number located opposite on the internal disc


I hope this is clear enough for you

Good hunt :Kaleun_Salute:

Haha, didn't know that was a thing. Funny coincidence.

Merci beaucoup :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:. Perfectly clear, I probably got the rows wrong first time I tried. One more thing, though: I noticed the numbers on the internal disc only go to 90. What do you do when the target has an AOB greater than that? Subtract the number you found from 180?
