As promised... here is The Grey Wolves Readme :ping: :ping: :ping:
(God I hope I didn't forget anything. :o )
.................................................. ...............
Salute! Fellow U-boot Kaleuns,
READ THIS FIRST!!!!!!
THIS IS A FREEWARE MOD!!! YOU MAY NOT USE THIS MOD OR ANY OF ITS CONTENTS FOR PROFIT!!!!
This is a large download. In many ways there is no moddable subject that has not been touched . The Grey Wolves mod is compressed with 7z which is a searchable freeware compression/decompression program. Once you download it please save a copy of the COMPRESSED files to disk and label as "GW VERSION 1.0"
The Grey Wolves Supermod is a Stand-Alone mod. It does not require the presence of any other mod to run.
I STRONGLY recommend placing this mod by itself in a CLEAN/NEW installation of Silent Hunter III.
I also recommend saving a compressed copy to CD/disk once you complete your download for safekeeping and backup purposes.
To install:
The GW Alpha 3 mod files are in JGSME format however you can also paste it directly over a clean installation of Silent Hunter III. To do this just save the patch and decompress it into a personal document. Then go inside the patch files, copy the "data" folder and paste it over the data folder found just inside your Silent Hunter III directory.
If you use JGSME... be aware that it takes several minutes for JGSME to enable the GW patch files because of its size. I have a pretty fast processor and it takes me about 5 minutes to enable on my own system. Just copy the Grey Wolves Mod folder to your SilentHunterIII/Mods folder and enable.
You can create a multiple installation by going into your C:/Program files/Ubisoft file and renaming your current installation to anything you choose. Then all you have to do is use your SH3 Disk to re-install the game. When you install the game a second time just choose the option to "repair." This process creates a brand new installation and is the simplest way to explain a multiple install. After doing this, patch to version 1.4b.
If you make a second installation of Silent Hunter III you will need to also either delete or re-name the "SH3" folder in your "My Documents" folder.
This mod is compatible with JSCones great SH3 Commander program. SH3 Commander at the moment does not include the default 8 hour crew fatigue model as presented in GW. Simply leave the fatigue model choice in SH3 Commander un-checked to use the GW default fatigue mod. Also, in order to maintain the integrity of the destroyer aggression modifications it is recommended to leave or set "Lost contact time" to 15 minutes in SH3 Commander.
There are no "executable" files in the Grey Wolves mod. Use this mod at your own risk. If you are unsure how to apply this patch, ask for help at subsim.com The GW team is not responsible for damages real or perceived due to the user improperly applying The Grey Wolves mod patch files.
Please note, the GW team may alter any included file to mesh as required by the needs of the GW Supermod for the sake of cohesion or to achieve a desired effect. This is how discoveries and better mods are made.
Opinions are welcomed, changes are not guaranteed.
Guys, I can't tell you how many countless hours by good people were put into this project.
PS: Prepare to have your socks knocked off :O)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rubini's list of changes and news for the GW Campaign:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Slight adjust on traffic and ships nationalities on HT mod. Included new german ships: Tirpitz, DD type36A, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. Also in the GW mod I added the the Italian's MAS Torpedo boat. Made adjustments on Kiel departure: no more subpen start because historically they only became available in mid war at Kiel.
2. Approximately 54 NEW PORTS WITH TRAFFIC AND ALIVE THAN THE STOCK GAME!!! 30 more ports than RUB, all them alive and with historical approach, covering virtually all the SH3 Atlantic and Mediterranean world. This now includes the harbour at Scapa Flow.
3. We now have a completely new campaign in place for the Americas and Africa's Atlantic coast. This includes new random ships and convoys, many new ports, traffic, and allied patrols. No more empty western and South Atlantic scenarios! Your long range patrols (maybe with milk cows resupply's) will be now be much more fun! Obviously with attention to historical accuracy. OPERATION DRUMBEAT IS ALIVE!!!
4. We also now have a completely reworked Mediterranean campaign with exclusive Italian warships. The new Italian forces include a battleship, heavy cruiser, and light cruiser (these are only clones..for now) These are included on the Random and Scripted Italian campaign and a new exclusive Italian unit: MAS torpedo boat (thanks NoLine!).
5. A lot of new ships and unitshave been integrated into the Campaign files (RND and SCR): many of Sergbuto's and Cdr Gibs ship models as well as others (Southampton-class light cruiser, new transport and cargo ship, British Walrus seaplane, German Arado floatplane, PT boats, AI U-boats, Hospital ship, Old Liner, Essex US Carrier, Flottenbegleiter, Vorpostenboot and to finish the above mentioned DDType 36A, Tirpitz, new Scharnhorst Class Battlecruiser and MAS Torpedo boat.
6. I made lot of small corrections on LND layer and Locations files, adjusted duplicate entries, corrected wrong dates (Azores and Iceland for example). I also adjusted Mediterranean and Black Sea port political alignment and dates.
7. I placed new airbases to better fit the historical allied and german air cover. Four allied airbase were added in the Americas (including the missing USA airbase in Natal, Brazil). Six German airbases were added to France, Germany, and Norway. I also repositioned some Italian and German airbases in the Mediterranean.
8. I made many additions and adjustments in the RND layer to make a better game experience... all the while being historically minded. Spawn probabilities were raised in some empty areas like South America, Africa, the Atlantic Coast, and the Gulf of Mexico. NOTE! Radio report probabilities weren't touched, so hydrophone checks will be needed. I also double checked all the new port traffic and defences in order to not blockade potential random groups.
9. I tweaked Teddy Bärr's minefields a bit to avoid patrol problems. (slightly lowered the mines position in minefields)
10. We now have two new military operations: Operation Berlin- Scharnhorst and Gneisenau raid on Atlantic and Operation Ceberus- Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen go back to German seas after a year at the French port of Brest.
11. Added an awesome touch by our friend Ref... great looking sunken barricade ships can be found at the entrances to Scapa Flow. This mod took a great deal of work to make the deadline. Special thanks go out to Ref, Teddy Bärr, and Rubini. Be careful to not collide with these!
12. The above items are all in addition to the content of the Harbor Traffic Mod version 1.47
Cheers,
Rubini.

Special Thanks
--------------
NippelSpanner- Whether or not you realize it, you have become a messenger of peace. Thank you for opening the availability of this mod to the German community. Our Grandfathers may have fought each other on the field of battle... but I hope our project makes them proud in some small way.
TimeTraveller- your mod tools certainly kicked things into high gear!
Cdr Gibs- Thanks for your pinch-hitting and trouble-shooting.
CCIP- Awesome movie sir!
Teddy Bärr and the NYGM Team- genius ship damage modelling sir! This gentleman also helped us fix our Scapa Flow sunken barrier ships on the final day of modding!
Jonz- This man had his own mod to build and without hesitation helped us by integrating his draggable chrono to all GW in-game screens. Thank you sir! You are a credit to the modding community.
Natasha- Thanks for all the dinners you made me, for keeping the coffee pot full, and mostly for being patient with me and this giant project. You helped make this mod happen. Every guy should be this lucky.
Neal Stevens and the entire Subsim.com community at www.subsim.com
Finally and Most importantly-
-----------------------------
The Grey Wolves Supermod not have been possible without the dedicated support of the following two people, Marhkimov and Rubini. These guys were my hardest working contributors and in retrospect it seems unlikely that GW would have ever been completed without their help. Their enthusiasm kept the forge fires white hot.
Marhkimov, you were my right hand man. Thanks for teaching me much of what I know about modding SH3. You have my gratitude for all your long hours of hard work and encouragement when the road seemed never-ending.
Rubini, the gigantic campaign you built for GW is simply incredible. I am forever in your debt. Without you... we wouldn't have the epic feel I had envisioned for all to experience. It is my opinion that you have above and beyond set the standard for campaign world building in all of the Silent Hunter series.
From the Grey Wolves team; Marhkimov, Rubini, Nippelspanner, Gouldjg, CCIP, Pablo, Rulle34, Syxx-Killer, Ref, and Type941, we hope you enjoy our collective work.
PROST!

To all who are and were veterans of that horrible war... both military AND civilian... who paid its price.
All gave some...

No problem SamWolf.
I wish I could fix all issues for the colorblind. We have fixed a few though.

No problem SamWolf.

After a while you learn to live with games that use red/green combos. A few like Panzer Elite and EAW have modders who can and do make the necessary changes and they're always appreciated.

Sounds sweet....are all harbors populated now with docked vessels? say if I go to tampa, florida in the gulf of mexico? will there be docked merchants or warships that I can attack?
Great work guys; though the cheeky part of me points out that it looks quite like IuB 1.03 only with Rubini's updated SCR/RND layers. ;)
The sunken barricade ships are something I'm very interested in though - anyone got any screenshots? At last we can properly recreate Prien's Scapa escapade!
:up:
Old Liner- Sergbuto
Isn't the Old Liner (or Ceramic) by Chris911?

I agree with OrGy there is alot of extra stuff that probably could have cut it down by 1.5 gigs...such as the romeo and juliet sound track, intro movie, sound packs, and textures....players can download all that in a seperate packs or on their own....I just want the guts like the new SCR/RND layers, underwater wrecks, added ships, new ports, rivers, etc....is there anyway there could be some sort of light version that doesnt have all the sounds and textures that make the filesize so ridiculous?

Anything you like can be extracted from the GW mod for your use with a little work.
Our mission was to change the look, sound, and feel of as many elements as possible.
Undoubtedly there are similarities between GW and the other big mods... however none of them were used as a "roadmap" to get where we were going.
Additionally, we had the "new-guy" in mind when we built this mod.
What is rediculous to one man... is a relief to another.
Hey, try it out as is though... or you will be missing out on dozens of tiny "inconsequential changes" made to put more life into things.
Also note regarding sounds... the SDL file was reworked quite a bit... some sounds are now audible where they were not before.
Cheers!

I have a about 50 mods loading now, and have had to work out quite a few issues to make them all work together.
This pack is going to be awesome! Super awesome work. It sounds wonderful! I can't say how much I appreciate all the modders of the individual packs, and then lots of the same guys get together to make sure that everything is tweaked and positioned correctly to work properly. Not to mention the new multimedia elements, movies, loading screens, etc....
This community has a really great core group of modders that keep things fresh, most of them are at least contributors if not participants in this GW mega mod.
Way to go guys! You rock!
One question:
Is the default 16km or 8km view? light or dark? distance fog or no?
Small thing, hopefully as easy to change as if it were a seperate download.
I'm actally considering clean installing properly ( not just de JSGMEing) to try this out. Please say you have a BT tracker setup for this and some pre-seeded computers......

I think that is cool...

You can't just meet them at the coffee shop down the road. :(
There's a lot of great guys out there like Rubini that I'd love to drink a cup of coffee with.

Again thankyou all great work :up:
From the Readme- "This mod is largely compatible with JSCones great SH3 Commander program. However, it is my understanding that SH3 Commander alters the .Sim cfg file which plays a part in the GW enemy ship AI aggression modification, which would also possibly revert the "waves attenuation factor" back to stock values."
We are also going to figure out a work-around to prevent any conflict as time permits.
I hope that helps. :arrgh!:

03-18-06, 05:33 PM

To all, the uploading to Terrapin continues.
Periodically internet connectivity is lost here... I suspect our current thunder-storms have something to do with it.
It is a slow process but we are moving along.

Hey, you're totally miss-reading the tone of that message. It was meant to be a fun poke at silly forum language mistakes. It wasn't serious at all.
I fully appreciate how international this game, and it's community is. I love seeing how many different places people come from that play this game. No need to bite my head off. I think you need some sleep man. Too much work, and then lots of work on this mod! Take a well earned break. :zzz:
I'd love to be able to meet a lot of you subsimers in real life for a coffee. That would be a blast! Nearly every corner of the globe is covered here. (Do we have any posters from northern east or west Africa here? I think I've seen almost everywhere else.)
Anyways, no disrespect meant to anybody. Game on!

To the Grey wolves Team, thankyou :rock: , whithout you guys and all the other selfless modders out there that work so hard and give so much, the game for people like myself, (not real bright but can lift heavy loads) would not be as good as you make it.
BTW, what is the KGV gun mod ?, and is there any way that the turrets can be made to fall off the capital ships as they capsize ? as they did in real life.
Bravo gentlemen, bravo :up:

The KGV guns mod fixes the problem where the Bismarck only fired its main guns after closing to closer ranges to the enemy. (Stock SH3 bug fixed by good ole' Cdr Gibs)
Regarding turrets separating upon the ship capsizing... I don't know. This sounds like a good question to bring up though. :up:
It would be cool... and SHOCKING to see in-game.

I have been looking for a mod like this since the game came out. Im not an expert nor do I follow the mods coming out as close as the real die-hard fans.
Thats why I love a mod that got everything good all rolled into one. Just one install and you got all the goodies.
Thanks to everyone who has worked their ass of to make this a good one. You guys are awesome.
Thanks :up:

I also posed a question to Der Teddy Bar, about ships on fire, in the stock game it (the fire) never seems to grow in intensity, just stays more or less the same when in reality it should be growning all the time, especially when deck cargo is involved, this would be anothe great mod to add if it's possible.

Smashing into those is going to be like stubing your toe on the dresser while walking in the dark trying not to disturb your wife (or significant other)!
"Damn it! Who put these rusty old boats here! Now look what you've done to my torpedo room!"
Question:
8km view is default or 16km? light or dark? distance fog or no?
Never mind, I see in download part 2 it is 8km Light.

Suggested corrections to Readme:
My U-boat reflections mod in the first place includes reflections for Type IIA, IID, XXI U-boats and Type IXB, IXC and IXD2 conning towers and in addition reflections for periscopes for Type II, VII, XXI U-boats, as well as reflections and wake trails for all the snorkels.
Hospital ship mod was made by Iambecomelife based on NPTR from Additional merchants. Therefore, instead of
"Hospital Ship-Sergbuto, Iambecomelife"
it should say
"Hospital Ship-Iambecomelife, Sergbuto" in the Readme.
C-class DD with DC racks was made by me, not by JasonB885
I did not make "Old Liner". It was Large Cargo as part of Additional merchants mod which also included the NPTR transport.

JScones
03-18-06, 08:59 PM
This mod is largely compatible with JSCones great SH3 Commander program. However, it is my understanding that SH3 Commander alters the .Sim cfg file which plays a part in the GW enemy ship AI aggression modification, which would also possibly revert the "waves attenuation factor" back to stock values.
SH3Cmdr only changes the "Lost Contact Time" value in SIM.CFG, which doesn't sound like it would cause any conflicts. However, if you believe it does, simply tell users to change the LostContactTimeLower and LostContactTimeUpper keys in SH3Cmdr's "Miscellaneous.cfg" to be whatever value you need.

Are the player Uboats modded using Fubars plain skins?
I saw you listed the AI as using his but nothing mentioned about the player boats.
Also what kind of settings are we talking about for the single merchant traffic?
Will it be like RUB and use 20% or will it be more realistic as single traffic historically was more than what RUB sets it at.

Cdre Gibs, what exactly does this "Type XXI U-Boat Radar and Sonar Fixes- Cdr Gibs" include? :o

Sadly nothing as grand as that. I had full intentions of redoing the Type XXI's sensor suit, but Pack3D is unable to open the AI_sensor dat file. THe older Pack3d's can but they dont import correctly an it all goes to hell in a hand basket damn quick. So in light of all this all I did was replace the "Broken Bits" with known working units (radar/Sonar) and made them permenate equipment load outs to the Type XXI in the Basic.cfg file.
All 1 has to remember is to not upgrade these units and they work just fine.
If I could get to the damn bits in the sensor file (with Pack3d) then indeed they would be corrected so that the right gear would be used. Including the RWR ontop of the snorkel mast.
I even so far as wanted to make the Radio, Radar and RWR masts (RWR fixed to Snorkel for Type XXI) raise an lower with either the Snorkel mast (on the Type XXI) or the Ob Scope (on all other subs) since these 2 items we as players can raise an lower. But again I've been thwarted by Pack3D.

To answer a previous question...
Yes Fubar's skins are the default player U-Boat skins.
The level of talent his awesome creations demonstrate is what should have been released with the stock game to begin with.
If for some reason he has not been credited properly... I will have that fixed within 24 hours! (After eating my hat :huh: )

So does this mean that when I have the XXI I can't upgrade anything to do with the radar, radar warning for the rest of the campaign? Can I upgrade the engine and sonar gear etc? I feel like a virgin on prom night, this mod feels like a big step...I've only got mainly cosmetic mods loaded besides VonHelsching's range fixes. But I'm willing to give anything a try, going to unload all mods and give this baby a whirl.

In a nut shell. There will be NO NEED to upgrade the Type XXI's Radar/Sonar suit in Campaign mode. The rest of the Tech upgrades works as per norm. They are the 2nd last upgrades of their type and working (no more xxxx destroyed msg's)

finally got it from terrapins and installed it with JScones.
1st Impressions. WOOOOOW!! :up:
Feels like a whole new game! That's a masterpiece we have here. Thanks a lot to the GW team!!
starting a single mission to get acquainted with all the changes ... 1st thing that is obvious:
The wolves are (hardware) hungry! :o
Never had so much stutter before - high TC (1024x) is a problem especially when near ports - system freezes sometimes for 20-30sec. before resuming. I guess HT 1.47 takes its toll. Together with Fubars skins and other goodies your system is brought to a test here.
Had 2 crashes in SH3.exe, I think because of the system load. Will have to check further, if I am able to even play the full GW mod.
Otherwise I would plead for some *light* modversions (Ht1.47) or hints to reduce the load by partially removing CPU-heavy mods.
Any more comments?

Hmmm, I have a lesser system in some ways. (FX5700LE)
High TC can be problematic for some due to the heavy work we have done on the campaign layers. I have to live with this too.
In harbor, one of the things you can do to help with FPS a little is install the "Stock SeaFloor Mod" located in your "GW Documentation and optional mods" folder.
(If GW is installed correctly you will find this in C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/GW Documentation and optional mods)
The default GW seafloor is Tanker IV's seafloor mod.
Another thing you can do is talk to your computer guy and ask him to dual channel your RAM in Bios if you havent already.

Once again a supermod comes out that does not give the players any choices in what to install or not.Its an all or nothing affair.Not a good thing if you aks me.
For example the framerate killing Harbor Traffic and Visual Distances should have been optional to save on peoples framerates.I can run most mods with no problem but those 2 and only those 2 have always killed my framerates when I have tried them before.

Cworth,
A couple things that are covered in the README under "optional mods" There is an entire folder included in the DL labeled "GW Documentation and optional mods" that could help you.
Also, I will state from the readme again that the 8km visibility mod (Stock visual-ranges) is default for GW.... not 16km... those are optional and found in the same folder too.
I'll be glad to do what I can to help you run GW if you like.
Heck, I have to run using the 8km visibility mod myself.
Its not as bad as it seems sir.
Besides, if you try GW and don't like it... you get your money back!

Hi Kpt!
Thanks for the hint - the stock seafloor makes a difference. I have less stutter in high TC now approaching ports.
I don't have any problems in 3D, thanks to my 7800GS all is smooth even on 4xAA or 8xAA, but the CPU is my bottleneck. I guess with a Athlon 64 CPU or dualcore you are better suited for SH3 when it comes to generating objects quickly. The stutter is evident when approaching ports, minefields, ships or convoys in high TC - the more objects are generated - the longer the *pause*.
Going down to 256x or lower before closing on ports could be a solution (this includes the english coast minefields).
Will try further.

That's exactly what I do. :up:

ummm yes - you play in 1x TC all the time? Wow! What do you do when sailing on a IXb to South Africa? :rotfl:
Hehe, just kidding - guess I was to eager to get thing going - didn't use the 1024x on ports before - that was always a problem. You know, when you play the grammo in that time - the stutter makes the grammo stuck! It repeats the last accord 4-5 times then it plays on.
(Imagine then: yelling at the radioman to kick the damn grammo! Works all the time :rotfl: )
BTW you forgot the ENTER-key, it still fires that damn torp. :P

Well that there answers my question and makes this a definate no go in downloading it.
Once again a supermod comes out that does not give the players any choices in what to install or not.Its an all or nothing affair.Not a good thing if you aks me.
For example the framerate killing Harbor Traffic and Visual Distances should have been optional to save on peoples framerates.I can run most mods with no problem but those 2 and only those 2 have always killed my framerates when I have tried them before.
Cworth,
A couple things that are covered in the README under "optional mods" There is an entire folder included in the DL labeled "GW Documentation and optional mods" that could help you.
Also, I will state from the readme again that the 8km visibility mod (Stock visual-ranges) is default for GW.... not 16km... those are optional and found in the same folder too.
I'll be glad to do what I can to help you run GW if you like.
Heck, I have to run using the 8km visibility mod myself.
Its not as bad as it seems sir.
Besides, if you try GW and don't like it... you get your money back!
(for the GW mod that is ;) )
I'll download it and try it out.The biggest thing that worries me in the harbor traffic.As long as that can be changed Im good to go.
Now to find a Bit Torrent that will actually work.Everytime I try to use Bit Torrent i get this error..

@CWorth
I get low FPS in-harbor too... but live with it because Rubini's work is so awesome.
One trick I have found that helps in-harbor is to rotate the bridge camera 360 a couple of times and give the engine time to render everything before moving out.
Also, the GW mod has altered the "Waves Attenuation Factor" in the Sim.cfg which helps FPS... and a totally cool side effect of that was making the waves seem a bit more realistic. This lessens the number of waves... but increases their troughs and peaks.
Also, in your case go into the GW optional mods folder and copy the "Stock Seafloor mod" to your JGSME mods folder and enable it.
I'm all about options. Its one of the biggest reasons we built GW.
... To give the player choice.
If you have any other problems let me or one of the GW dev team know. We will help you as quickly as we are able.

It still requires the use of CTRL+Enter to fire my torps. :yep:
Concerning the blockships, which are really cool, are there other ships used other than Small Merchants? Coastal Merchants and Transports would look good too. :cool:
Also, when you listed "Old Liner" did you mean the Large Cargo by Sergbuto or the Ceramic by Chris911? Or are both included?

Thanks AG124, I was going to get to that. (I love your work... hurry up with that Rose Ore Carrier okay :yep: )
We didn't include the Ceramic only because at the time I didn't want to further complicate matters for Rubini and scripting.
At the moment as far as I am aware there is only one available model for the sunken barricade ships... but I think someone will certainly pick up the ball and do further modding involving them.
What I meant was the Large Cargo by Sergbuto. I made some mistakes with credits for some of the ships which I will be fixing this evening.
I believe we've added 15 ships over the stock game.

Increased Attack Periscope Magnification to x10 to complement the All Grey Contacts mod- Kpt. Lehmann
What exactly is the All Grey Contacts mod and how does the x10 zoom compensate it? Does that mean the uzo has been increased as well being that it had better zoom than the attack periscope?
BTW: Just finished re-installing, patching and loading(15 minutes to load!) the mod and I've got to say that the presentation of all the new screens(and that breathtaking opening track) all telegraphed the fact I was about to play one of the best modded(too light a word for this if you ask me) games ever. I'll keep seeding this until you come out with ver. 1.1. Great job guys!
I think in fact all grey contacts mod, is insted you've got diferent contact colours for diferent ship tipes in your nav. map ,with this mod they all are grey however tipe of ship apears in your nav. map.... :up:
Before you had green for neutral ships, red for anemy ships blue for friendly ships, not now, now you've got to pay more atention to what your eyes say to you and radio contacts as whell the sonar man... :up: :up:
Just a few things after playing it last night..
1. Camera settings...Very odd looking view to me.May just take some getting used to though.So I'll give it a few patrols to get the hang of it.
2. Harbor Traffic..major framerate killer as I suspected it would be.I am as low as 4 fps in port and leaving where as I would normally be at 25-35 in port and while leaving port without the harbor traffic...maybe need a mod version released that cuts down on the numbers of ships in port.Leave some of the more important ones but cut down the numbers of fishing and tug boats in the ports or something.Makes the use of Anti-Aliasing impossible now where as I could use it before with no issue.
Besides those 2 issues I am really enjoying what you have done with the mod.

In harbor, one of the things you can do to help with FPS a little is install the "Stock SeaFloor Mod" located in your "GW Documentation and optional mods" folder.
The default GW seafloor is Tanker IV's seafloor mod.
Kpt. Lehmann,
Once you use tankeriv's seafloor mod, there is no turning back. It's excellent!
I don't know which version of the seafloor mod is included in GW (there are three of them). Seaflloor is definitly a major FPS hit. I would suggest that alternatively use Tankeriv's sefloor mod for 64 MB cards. Stock seafllor is awful...

03-20-06, 09:20 AM
Kpt. Lehmann (or anyone from the GW team)
I saw that my IDX/2 range fix is included. Thanks. :up:
Did you include also the Real Battery Life (aka Advanced NASA battery fix), which fixes all underwater ranges?
If not, I can provide a version, especially for GW, as soon as I download it.
If you are not familiar with the fix, see:
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=49412
VonHelsching,
Thanks for the contact.
GW is not using "Advanced NASA battery fix". Can you do this for us? You can send it to me or for Kpt. Lehmann. We will post a quicky complement in the next days for some GW edges...
And, you are right about Tankeriv's Seafloor mod. If someone have a poor FPS try to use the Tankeriv Sea floor for 64 MB cards...
Thanks again!
And looking forward for GW version of Advanced NASA battery fix!

CWorth,
For better FPS just use the Tankeriv's seafloor for 64mb cards (or use the default texture). Also the Harbours texture and High resolution flags can be lowered. Just look on texture folder and compare with the stock game. You will find a better composition for your system. :up:

Just detected something that i'm not shore if it's ok or not, but there it goes mi first patrol prob.
Nothing bad realy but truthly anoying, since i left kiel naval base, that all the ships i saw come with no names, insted they apear as Contacts, and i thought it was for the begining of the hostilities, and so when ahead with the mission ...But as the days when on, during mi course, to mi patrol grid, i came across 2 or 3 ships of lite tonnage, like fishing boats, and in fact a large C3 merchant, but as before when recognised or when detected bi mi subs, conning observation crew, the name didn't change, still caled Contacts.... :doh: ....so i saved the mission and whent to the maine menu to enter the Museum, and for mi surprise not one ship in any contry as a name, and all where caled contacts... :doh:

1- Did i missed anything when enabled the Mod and the optional mods?

I did change the seafloor textures back to stock(no big deal really as how often do you look at it anyway)
What files do I change to return the harbor textures back to stock or make them smaller sizes?I've never been much good at this modding stuff.

I have done a clean install of SH3, SH3 Commander, and JSGME. I deleted the "Career" folder under "My Documents." I then installed GW v1.00, 16km Atmosphere Light MOD, and GW 24 Hour Fatigue Model. I then ran SH3 Commander. I ran through all of the settings I like to use, but left the "Fatigue Model" option unchecked. At first I chose "Standard SH3 Crew," not knowing what the GW crew might look like. I get the following error message:
Unable to write to C:\Games\SH3\data\Menu\en_menu.txt
I then backed out, and tried the "Realistic Crew" option (which I prefer), but to no avail.
Help!

I don't use the Type II much in SH3, so I didn't notice it when running the test versions of the mod. Any testing usually utilized the Type VII or IX. I noticed that the Type II now has 6 torpedoes. Historically it has 5. Is there a reason for the extra torpedo? Did they cram 6 torpedoes on board, like the IXD2 could cram 26 torpedoes?

You're suppose to leave the fatigue box unchecked in SH3commander...thats what I did and everything worked fine. I believe the SH3 Commander thread here in the mod section of the forum explains this, and it also gives more details.

Assuming you are talking fatigue models, users just need to untick the "Use fatigue model" option in SH3Cmdr to take advantage of the GW model. If users physically select the "Default SH3" model, then the GW model will be overwritten by default SH3 values.

So does anyone know what the UZO's zoom is? I didn't get a response and another thing: that ticking noise! I feel like Captain Hook, trying to figure out where that incessant ticking is coming from. I know it's the clock, but it's soooo intrusive, it overlaps everything in intensity, especially when I'm trying to check for contacts on the hydrophone. Usually when you jump to the hydrophone station, everything is toned down to represent using the headphones, but not that ticking noise from the clock. Anyone else find it aggravating?

Hi Tonnage_Ace,
The Uzo was untouched . Only the attack periscope have now 10x. In my installation I modded the cameras.dat and also put 10x for all optics, except for the observation periscope. I already said that this is to compensate the SH3/computer's limitation for on screen images. But if you want to revert to default valours is really simple: just use another cameras.dat from any other mod or even the stock one. Anyway I will suggest for the GW team to include some optional mod for optics power for the first update. And if you press Shift and the mouse whell you can have the same effect as in real life zooms on all optics in the game!
About the clock...just open the Clock.wav file using the window's sound recorder and lower the sound for your taste. Maybe could be also possible to just delete it, I don't know...
Hopes that these infos could help you!

Thanks, that helped a lot Rubini. I thought I was going mad for a while, it's hard enough to deal with the duldrum of u-boat life than to hear the constant ticking! The 10x zoom for the attack periscope makes a lot of sense, I hated that about the vanilla SH3, sooo hard making out the flags of merchants! Only so much you can do until there are graphics cards(affordable ones) that allow you to maintain effects while turning up the res...
I also wanted to bring up two things I hope are added to future versions:
1. The ruler tool for the map has always been inaccurate(3km means 2.5km) and we've all grown accustomed to it but I think it's time we've fixed this snafu. Maybe 100m increments when zoomed all the way in? I know everyone will agree that the target's speed has the greatest affect on the gyro angle and everytime I miss, I know it's because of the inaccuracies of the ruler in plotting the speed/heading using the 3:15 rule...
2. The hydrophone training mod needs to be updated to coincide with the new sounds. This is another method to judge speed but it wouldn't be necessary if I had an accurate ruler tool...

I know everyone will agree that the target's speed has the greatest affect on the gyro angle and everytime I miss, I know it's because of the inaccuracies of the ruler in plotting the speed/heading using the 3:15 rule...
2. The hydrophone training mod needs to be updated to coincide with the new sounds. This is another method to judge speed but it wouldn't be necessary if I had an accurate ruler tool...
Regarding the ruler inaccuracy, believe it or not I was unaware of this. If there is a mod that fixes this issue please post it here and I will make sure it is included in the first GW update.
Regarding the hydrophone training mod... only the original author or relative expert of the same can help with re-vamping the hydrophone plotting mod. I thought about leaving the underwater sounds for GW alone... but I couldn't stand them even though I knew this might be a potential issue for some. I am not an expert on plotting and targetting (yet ;) ) I do know that it is simply a matter of adapting to new things.

Thanks for your answer Kpt. Lehmann, you really haven't gotten a chance to play being as your so busy! Before you boot up the game to check for yourself it might be faster to check Wazoo's plotting and targetting guide, he makes a point of this 'ruler' problem. I'll make future posts on the sticky but hope someone can come forward with a fix for this ruler fiasco being as it's soooo important when playing at 100% realism.

I've been searching thru the forum for the ruller issue, and the general opinion is that it's hardcoded, so I don't think its possible to fix it.

Welcome, Spectre-63
Yes, Captain America's gauge fix mod is integrated properly into GW. In fact we were prepared to delay the release of GW had it been necessary to wait on the completion of that mod.
There are lots of mods our there that can conflict with the design/integration of files in GW. The only way to know is to understand the file structure at least in a basic sense and to compare them file by file. I'm not trying to sound high-handed... its just that there isn't a simple answer to that question... except to use the JGSME mod enabler program by JSCones... it is a MUST HAVE and compares the files for you. It won't tell you what features in the original mod will be changed... it will just make sure that you know and/or approve that a file is being overwritten. It also allows you to revert / cancel a mod input if you don't like the outcome.
You can find JSCones' latest JGSME mod enabler program here:

These are the last things I can do to increase my FPS in port,short of changing the .SCR layer and removing ships which I really dont want to do as I dont know what i am doing in the editor.

Hi there,
First thanks for this super mod!
Nice work!
I have myself been working on something similar as addon for RuB with HT, but this seems to exceed, what I have done sofar!
However, there is still some errors in the campaign as there was in RuB and HT regarding some cities!
Please read this post:
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=50180
I have corrected Danish cities, mainly because I'm Danish, and then French, Polish, Dutch... cities plus added cities for N+S America, Japan and Australia.
The locations file: there seems to have been removed some harbour facilities, so I put them back, not all, but many!
And then I added some traffic of Danish and Swedish vessels, plus some docked ships in NY and Kronstadt/Leningrad!
Seperate campaign files have been added, so it's possible to se in the editor, what I did!
I hope it will be incorporated in the next edition of GW, as a patch maybe!
You may also dl directly here:
http://rapidshare.de/files/16142831/Carotios_Denmark_for_GW.rar
It's only 0.53MB, so it's quick to get!
About the rest: would it be okay to incorporate other stuff not allready in GW collected from different mods and websites as an addon for GW, like other textures, cfg settings and extra units (I have 11: Fast Transport, APD light transport, Wasp Fleet Carrier, Heavy Cruiser Blücher, P&O Destroyer, Q&R Des, L&M Des, Copa Patrol Ship, S Des, Codrington Des and ZG3 Hermes Des).
Would anyone be interested? GW Crew?
Besides, Rubini released with his HT1.47 for RuB1.45 an extra mod, which I found very cool: Chomus integrated orders! I have tried to add this myself, but it needs rework, I can see..... But it would be nice if Chomu did it himself for GW! Does Rubini still have contact with him?
I can't think of any other info or question now, so...
Kpt. Lehmann
03-22-06, 06:06 PM
Cheers! Carotio,
Welcome to subsim and thanks for such a generous offer. I have to say it sounds like you've been quite busy.
I am certainly interested in getting the Danish cities correctly placed/added.
As for the rest, we have to be very careful that we do not cause conflicts with the existing material.
I will defer to Rubini to answer this question since he is our campaign builder.
Also, please don't take this as dis-interest.
Once we get the most common kinks worked out we are going to rest a little while before we release our upgrade patch.
I've DL'd your package and have stored it as well as copied the text of this message.
Regarding Chomo's Integrated Orders mod... it is a great piece of work. Unfortunately, it heavily edits the 1024.Cfg which is a rather touchy file. It isn't likely that we will include the integrated orders mod for a number of reasons... needless to say, it may disable features that are considered integral to GW.
All things will be considered for our update. Stay tuned! :arrgh!:

Well, I have been more active in ubis own forum than here, though I have been here for a while!
Also, I have had the game since it's release - in DK March 18th 2005, I think it's the same game worldwide !(?) And thus visiting subsim and ubisoft, plus looking at the nice links from the users.

Well, I hope he will look with positive eyes upon it! The corrections I have made to campaign_LND: Danish cities are Danish, not Norwegian, French cities are not green after occupation (except Toulose, Lyon and Marseille being in Vichy-France) this also for Arnheim in Holland and Posen in Polland: it's both allied and German at the same time, or rather was! The rest are not corrections but only addings! For campaign_SCR: a little traffic, not much! For campaign_RND: icebergs! If one opens the GW campaign_RND or stock game version or RuB version in the editor and look on the iceberg groups, one would discover that the icebergs are set to not show up before 1944..... :-? I changed this for the 10 iceberg groups, so they appear from september 1939. This is the only thing I changed in the random layer, but I think it's odd that the game developpers set it for 1944, maybe because in the game most users would not be placed in the arctic area before 1944 (7th in Bergen), and I think it should be like this, but maybe it's just me... :)
Also, please don't take this as dis-interest.
Of course, I understand that not everything can be added!
But I'll await Rubinis answer of course!

Of course, we can't be downloading patches and mods all the time!
IUB1.03 was released resently too. I haven't tried it, since I was making something similar myself based on RuB and HT! And if messing with mods all the time, when will we ever get time to play? :lol:
If you dl'd my mod, try start a career in 1942, plain GW, then look at map of France! Then enable my mod, and do the same! It should convince even Rubini.... I hope! :88)

Then hopefully some day in the future... because once I tried it, I liked it right away! :P

JCWolf -
forgive me because the last heavily modded sim I was into was Falcon 4.0 and a lot of my expectations with regards to modded sims may come as a byproduct of that.
More to the point: with Falcon, certain mods were known to cause issues or be wholly incompatible with others. I was trying to get the lay of the land before I started installing anything. From Lehmann's post, however, I understand that JSGME will warn you if there are potential conflicts between mods and allow you to remove the mod you're trying to add before it causes problems.
I'm certainly open to any tales of mod-mixing issues if anyone has any...or is that simply less of an issue with SHIII???

i just spent 5 ingame days running away from destroyers at the gibraltar and i had not seen a single merchant ship. i hit a w&s destroyer with a direct torpedo hit and it didnt sink :( what the hell? wheres the fun fanctor in that? i dont see it!
what realism mod did you use to cleanse out the ocean? i want to get rid of it! and i dont want to uninstall the whole mod.

This mod just like RUB is not for everyone...from my playing it is set for the realism and how it was to be a real Uboat commander.
The destroyers in the real war did not always sink with single torpedo hits.
From what I read the numbers of merchants are lowered to more accurate numbers for each year of the war and will get less and less as the war goes on making you have to find convoys for your tonnage.
Also the single merchants will not be marked on the map for you as often as they had it in the stock game...you have to rely on the hydrophones more to find your targets.This is made so you have to earn your tonnage the way the true Uboat captians had to..you have to find it yourself.This mod is set for realism not an arcadey shoot-em-up with tons of single ships and the map showing you where they are way to often.
Welcome to the life of a realistic Uboat captain.

03-23-06, 04:40 PM
But i don't have a problem with using the hydrophones.I like this mod.Everything about it is cool.Im in 1942,so thats probably why there werent any merchant ships or convoys reported. But the thing i dont like is this shio invincibility. That destroyer flew up in the air from the torpedo blow and sailed away.I doubt thats realism. If i replace the zones file with the original, will this take care of my problem? Btw, i hate arcade games!

03-23-06, 07:35 PM
On the subject of ship invincibility, I encountered a small merchant, so not wanting to waste any torps, I let loose with 60 HE at the waterline, nothing happened. The ship was dead in the water but nothing after that, I was waiting for the, "She's goin down!" but nothing! The deck gun may be a .22 compared to other guns on the water but after 60 shots, you'd think I would've drived a hole right through to the fuel bunker???

yeah man! thats what im talking about. today i tried to sink a fishermen boat and i wasted about 30 HE shots. Then a destroyer came and i sank him with a torp. Guess i got lucky this time. But still, i really want to remove this particular addon. its not real, its stupid.

Alright, question from a noob.
I'm running on an average of 38% realisim, enjoying the fact I don't have to search too much to find merchants. Will I be annoyed at this mod?
I don't have an issue with investing time, but I recognise that my skill level at finding lone ships sucks.
So to sum up, how much is finding ships changed, how commom are radio reports of ships and convoys?

I have only started an early war career so Im not to far in yet.
However finding the single ships and convoys is alot more difficult and requires alot of time spent at the hydrophones listening.The reports and ships marked on the map are not very often.This is to make it more realistic and makes you have to earn your tonnage instead of simply giving it to you like the stock game does.
From what I have read in the readme the single ships will become fewer and fewer as the war goes on as it should forcing you to rely on hitting convoys for your tonnage.
Now how realistic the number of single merchants is with this mod I dont know..but it has been debated that the Real Uboat mods 20/20 settings were to low to be realistic.Not sure what the settings are in Grey Wolves in terms of numbers.But I dont mind as I like the challange.
Can any of the other mods availble ie. Transparent Dial etc. be added to GW Mod other than those that came in the Mod.

As long as it is only a .tga file that you are altering... no problem.
However, if it means that you must modify the 1024.cfg BEWARE!!! You have just cruised into a minefield.

I downloaded the entire Silent Hunter III Seawolves patch with a modem!!!!! Taking 40 hours! to do so is not my issue! MY Issue is that about half way into the install, the thing stops at Data\sea\NLTF.dat and from each file on (60) at the last count, i am prompted to ignore, retry or abort. Each time i am prompted it takes an additional 5 minutes to go on to the next file!!!:damn:
