GWX Update

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Fellow U-boat Kaleuns,

I haven't posted much lately due to the amount of modding work the GW Dev team has been doing, so I thought I'd give you a little update on some of of the things we have done.
So we have decided to tell you about the... (Yes the following is currently functional!)

TWO new operational theatres - Indian Ocean and Black Sea!

We have added Indian Ocean and Black Sea theatres, complete with historical and regional traffic and ports.

We've also provided more historically accurate South Atlantic grids for the 10th and 12th Flotillas.

THREE new Flotillas - 13, 23 and 30!

1. After the 7th Flotilla disbands in 1944, travel to Trondheim, Norway and form part of the reorganised 13th Flotilla.
2. Sign up to go to the Med and start your career in the 23rd Flotilla at beautiful Salamis. Patrol the Eastern Mediterranean before being transferred to the 29th Flotilla in May 1942.
3. Interested in the Black Sea? If so, join the 30th Flotilla and take a Type II to Constanza. Hunt Russian merchants and warships whilst avoiding Russian air attacks! When Romania falls in August 1944, scuttle your boat and regroup with the 33rd Flotilla.

And yes, you can STILL join any existing Flotilla and enjoy ALL current theatres!

FIVE new player bases - Penang, Jakarta, Constanza, Salamis and Trondheim!
- If you join the 10th Flotilla, you will have the option in 1943 of sailing to, or starting a career in, Penang, Malaya. Patrol the Indian Ocean and waters around Australia hunting convoys and coastal vessels. In late 1944, to avoid the constant Allied attacks, you'll move base to Jakarta, where you'll spend the remainder of the war.
- 13th Flotilla careers will start in Trondheim, where you will patrol the North Atlantic.
- 23rd Flotilla careers will start in Salamis, where you will patrol the Eastern Mediterranean.
- 30th Flotilla careers will start in Constanza, where you will patrol the Black Sea.

Naturally, MASSIVE work on the campaign files is being done to accommodate the new operational theaters as well as additions to prior existing theaters.

110+ surface vessels are being scripted as we speak to ply the waves across the world in GWX. These include MANY of the latest and greatest works from the SH3 community... and some really cool stuff no one has yet done.

Great pains are being taken to make sure that these ships are scripted in a historically focused fashion.

We have also made far more efficient use of the SH3 file structure has resulted in double the content and it appears that GWX may actually be a smaller download as indicated by a compression test I did today of the alpha.

Much faster load times over stock SH3 have been noted and in general have little more impact on the system than that of stock SH3.

And scores of other modifications, too many to list here!

Please respect the time and effort the GWX team members are putting into this release by not inquiring about its release date. Our guys have been working their tails off for WEEKS and need no more pressure than they already put on themselves.

Expand your horizons! Go with The Grey Wolves! :up: :up: :up:

Looking forward to the Indian Ocean. How's it going to work without the grid system, though?

You guys know ...that we are unworthy!For real. What've done to deserve all this from you:o?

[Kpt. Lehmann]

[quote=Safe-Keeper]Including the lighted Red Cross Hospital Ship?[quote]

Come on now!

Do you really think we would leave out even one of the lighted ships? :arrgh!:

[rasmus1896]

will there be skins for battleship primary guns?

i dont have them after installing GW

realy waiting for it!:D :up:

[mikaelanderlund]

Thanks for the info Kpt. Lehmann :sunny: :sunny: .

[terrapin]

Hi mate,

now these are GOOD news! :) :up:

[chris911]

Great to hear!!!
Which new Ships will be in the Mod ??
Lighted ones , would be nice and of course the 2 new Jap ships and the 2 Sowjet ones when they are ready, of course serges PT boats and the new French,Polish destroyer.
I think Hood, Schanhorst, Roma and AG124s ships are already in am I right ?

[enaceo]

Oooooh!Nice!Can't wait for it!It's going to be like X-mas-NYGM2.2 and GWX!Love the ideea of being able to patrol the Black Sea "properly" now ,from Constantza itself.I go there on vacation a lot of times:D
Also,can't wait to properly patrol the Indian Ocean now !Gr8 work guys!:D

[Lupo]

[enaceo]

Just wanted to ask one more thing.Could we know how the GWX will be installed?Over the 1.1,or over the stock game?Thanks a lot!

[catar M]

We don't need SH4 we have GW...great job can't wait

[Safe-Keeper]

Will there be any more eye-candy? Orcas, oil derricks, more types of wrecks, radar stations, channel markers, and so on?

[Boris]

Just wanted to ask one more thing.Could we know how the GWX will be installed?Over the 1.1,or over the stock game?Thanks a lot!

So many things have been changed, GWX will be stand alone as far as I know... the kpt. will confirm.

Also heard that too,but will it work if we install it over the 1.1 ?

Off-topic:Whoa I'm an 中国水兵 now.I have no ideea what that means but it looks cool:D

[Boris]

Don't worry too much about the install at the moment, you'll have your answers when GWX is released.

[donots76]

nice.

[_Seth_]

Let's hope that no-one takes this and try to make money out of it...

Bad, bad X1-people.....

[chris911]

They wouldn t make money with it when no one buys it. Also maybe the modders are not copied afaik when they include a german readme which prohibits 3rd parties to make money out of their mods. My Cermanic wasn t used till now as i have included a german readme which prohibits such use.

Enough about X1

[Venatore]

Thankyou sir for your sitrep:up:

Enough about X1

A little OT, but, we can include zillion readme´s that state that 3rd parties cannot use these mods to make payware addons. BUT, we still dont have the permission from UBI to modify the files that come with stock SHIII, so we cannot copyright them = X1 can use them as it likes. As far as I know, X1 has asked permission from UBI, so there´s nothing we can do. :down:

[chris911]

Simply dont buy it so they lose money and cant produce another one......

As far as I know, X1 has asked permission from UBI, so there´s nothing we can do. :down:

There is a lot of stuff which does not belong to UBI, such as original 3D models, textures and text. The fact that those things are put in format created by UBI does not make them UBI's property. It is like saying that all the books sold in PDF format are the property of Adobe.

According to EU law you don't 'have to copyright' anything of your intellectual/creative output - it's automatically protected...:up:

But - let's stay realistic - the only way to fight X1 is NOT to buy their titles AND to stay ahead of the game. If X1/Combatplanes do continue in the known way, they are always way BEHIND the modding scene.

That's a rather bad business model in the net age:rotfl: :rotfl: ! - at least as long there are enough sites left pumping out the genialistic stuff created by our coding gods for free!

:hmm:

:know:

[jaxa]

Sounds fantastic!
I hope these news tell us only about minor part of GWX.
Waiting for GWX is like waiting for a date - very exciting :D.
I'd like to play GWX very much, maybe September?

[Pants]

This is only a small sample of things..we want to keep a suprise for you guys :up:
one of the suprises is in one of the screenies, see you can notice ;)

[jaxa]

Ubisoft should pay GW Team tons of gold for making SH3 alive and much better than stock :D.
I don't need SHIV - I want GWX as fast as it's possible :up:.
Keep your good work mates!

[Pants]

Anyone spotted one of the suprises yet? :smug:
If not take a long hard look at the screenies :up:

[Cdre Gibs]

Oh, Oh, Oh, I know, I know!!!!!

Do I win? :lol:

I was thinking... what the hell is Pants talking about but then i finally saw it... looks cool too!

[enaceo]

What exactly is Pants talking about?I can't seem to get it really:(

[Safe-Keeper]

Anyone spotted one of the suprises yet? :smug:
If not take a long hard look at the screenies :up: The bridge in the picture with the German fighter? Or am I way off?

New moon? Or am I really way off?

Edit: It's not the Sherman tank parked in the forest scene, is it (download the pic' and increase image brightness):up:?

Top left of 4th pic :yep:

[stabiz]

Top left of forth pic is a bridge, no? Whats so special about that?

[Safe-Keeper]

No, no, not the bridge, zoom in.

We're talking about what's on the bridge:cool:.

What's so special about a bridge? In Silent Hunter III, a good deal. The only bridges I've seen in Silent Hunter III so far are in Manhattan.

Good job adding more eye-candy.

[Onkel Neal]

Great update, GW team. You guys continue to amaze.

Posted on Subsim.com News

We're talking about what's on the bridge:cool:.Is it a railway bridge? Have they put trains in the game? If so, cool!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

No, no, not the bridge, zoom in.

We're talking about what's on the bridge:cool:.Is it a railway bridge? Have they put trains in the game? If so, cool!

Now that you've finally seen it.:sunny:

Well, not exactly... We've modelled the Kiel Canal bridges... among other things that will remain a secret.

Don't even bother asking. :arrgh!: We want to surprise you all with our new stuff all at once!

It will probably take us a week just to write the readme when the time comes.

I might post a better screenshot of the bridge after I get some sleep... was uploading stuff all night. Need sleeeep!

I hope it will be interesting reading. I liked Rubini's Harbour Traffic readme, made together with Scire - the best readme I've ever read. Could you make something similar?

[JScones]

Just to expand on Dowly's response a smidge LOL, we have progressed through the development, unit testing, and integration testing phases and are currently performing in-house system testing.

This is where we compare the developed GWX product against the original requirements (which everyone here had input into). As any further tweaks or adjustments require regression testing, this phase is iterative and thus one that has been keeping the team busy for the last week or so.

Sometime during this month we hope to commence acceptance testing.

So as you can see, we are not letting GWX loose without thorough review!

[Roads88]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Thank you, Thank you........:rock: :rock: :rock:

All I can say is WOW!!! :up: :rock: :rock: If only more beta testers were needed:lol:

[peewee]

this will no doubt sound really dumb.

I just downloaded GW about 2 weeks ago after making my $$ donation. If I want to update to this newer version do I need to make another donation? cos I don't see anywhere to download it...........:cry: BTW I think GW improves the original game about 50000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%

You dont see anywhere to download it because we are still testing as Jaeson said above
When its ready the links will be there:up:

[cwchute]

I was really impressed with the first TGW mod, so am anxious to get this one working. I d/l the 5 files from the Euro mirror (out of bw on the US one), and began the installation.

About halfway into the install, I began getting error messages regarding .mp3 and .ogg files being corrupted. Can you tell me which of the 4 BIN files have the mp3s and oggs in them, so I don't have to d/l the whole shebang again?

Thanks in adavance.....

C.

NEVER MIND - I re-downloaded 2 and 3, installed OK.

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Im going to burst!!! :up:

Will the Grom Class be added?:D Hows about new planes?

[Jimbuna]

not expressing a preference here...but just wondering if the 'anti humming bird' will be included in GWX ?

[Hueywolf123]

I've got two questions,
1, When will it be released?
2, Is it an upgrade/addon to GW 1.1? or will GW users have to uninstall this then reinstall GWX?
Other than that, I can't wait. It looks amazing. As for the anti hummingbird mod, it is included in NYGM latest version.
I must point out here, that in 1944, not too long after gnats were recognised as homing torpedoes, the RN introduced a gnat counter-measure called the hummingbird. It was a small drone, towed by destroyer escorts about 50m behind them. It used a water vane of some sort that emitted a loud noise, the torpedo would home in on this.
These did however, limit the range and accuracy of their ASDIC.

[WilhelmSchulz.]

we dont know when its due. Its done when its done.

[arthurgogol]

I'd like to say thanks and thanks for this MOD, it's great.

I have just 4 suggestions :


- In the next version, could we have "howls" of the seamen who are wounded in the navy when we shout them and when the navy burn?


-Include more ports in the world?

- The fatigue is boring , can we supprime it in a option?

- french ports like le havre or marseille will be complete?


Sorry to my english and thanks again.:arrgh!:

[kylania]

not expressing a preference here...but just wondering if the 'anti humming bird' will be included in GWX ?

As of today it's available for GW 1.1a (http://wolvesatwar.org/nygm/?page_id=3) thanks to the NYGM team.

Much faster load times over stock SH3 have been noted and in general have little more impact on the system than that of stock SH3.


Is this true? I downloaded GW 1.1 some time ago, installed it, and framerates were down to about 7 fps on the bridge. It would cause the computer to reboot in other situations, so I stopped using it. I even tried installing various downloads in case I had a corrupted file, but to no avail.

Thanks for your continuing support of SH3.

[WilhelmSchulz.]

have you instaled the enhanced seafloor part?

[bigboywooly]

have you instaled the enhanced seafloor part?

Cant say how the update will install ( Cos I dont know ) but IF its anything like 1.1A you will have the choice to install the enhanced seafloor or not

[WilhelmSchulz.]

yea because I had that problem re-instaled without the enhanced seaflor part and it was fine

[bigboywooly]

yea because I had that problem re-instaled without the enhanced seaflor part and it was fine

Same here
I uninstalled 1.0 and gave up on it as so bad until I found out about the seafloor
Not looked back since :up:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[Cdre Gibs]

The GWX Real Life U-boat Behavior Mod- Mod by Kpt. Lehmann, mod based on R&D to SH3 by Cdre Gibs.

This mod causes your U-boat to react more accurately to its environment and reflects the fragile nature of "trim" in comparison to hydrodynamics.

Creating this mod led to a whole series of very cool discoveries and situations in testing.

U-boats were never usually set for neutral buoyancy anyway... Trim was set to be slightly positive. This was generally done with safety in mind.

In GWX the "All stop" command will bring the U-boat up a few meters to a point where NEUTRAL bouyancy is achieved... not necessarily to the surface. This accurately simulates a U-boat's trim for positive bouyancy.

As you travel and set your depth... the boat will generally settle at roughly one meter less than you set... (If you are travelling at 1.5-2 knots.)

Periscope depth is a little more more tricky now.

At shallow depths speed below 2 knots increases the risk of breaching the surface.

Additionally there is now greater pitch and roll on the surface.

This mod also implements and represents wave action/friction much more realistically. Heavy seas impede forward motion and cost fuel. You will be able to watch your knot-meter for proof... you can see it change slightly as waves crash against your bow.
In storms, forward motion will be somewhat impeded... costing you fuel as you attempt to compensate by pushing your diesels harder.

A better feeling of mass is now present... Acceleration takes more time. In the higher speed ranges coming up to desired speed takes a little longer.

Directional changes cost speed (as usual... but a touch more so now)

Fragility of trim- (See all statements on positive bouancy) Being depth charged upset the boat more which the U-boat Captain must actively manage... takes more time to recover control/trim of boat after close detonations... I was BLASTED TO THE SURFACE (as I have read in real life accounts over and over) more than once. DC's detonating above you may force you down a bit more than before.

You will need to use an occasional burst of power to control the boat occasionally during close DC attacks. This naturally makes noise and with this one element alone, enemy sensors have become more effective in a passive way. (As previously mentioned... GWX sensors are being overhauled)

Flooding adds mass to your U-boat fast... will affect the trim of the boat and must be reacted to with all possible haste! Remember trim is fragile. I'm sure you can guess what happens when your boat begins taking on water... Again you will have to make noise to stop the flooding... and increase power to maintain depth.

We spent a great deal of time testing this aspect of GWX and I believe most users are going to be rather happy with what we've done here.

Sink them all mates!

mmm..not yet convinced tough...mmm.... i like the GW1.1a...but escape when being hunted, it's so difficult now, i imagine later...i hope ya all tests the subs situations in 1944, coz there were the worst subs situations in the world.

btw and a little off topic...

with sh3 commander 2.6 u have as always the no fatigue crew option, but....it's too much no fatigue!, can anyone make another option like "more power crew" coz i like to manage my crew, but not with the default crew model of sh3, it's too much exaustive....i know there's "church u boat crew more power mod", that does what i'm talkin abt, but it doesn't work with sh3 commander 2,6 and GW installed...hope u can help guys.

Sugestion. Can you change the RND files to inclued these new ships in convoys?:up:

Which new ships are you on about WS ?
The majority of the ships in RND layers are generic
By that I mean the entries are Type=102 ( cargo ) with no class= entries - which basically means when the convoy is 3d rendered close to player the game will pick any type=102 in a countries roster - as in the example below

[RndGroup 894.RndUnit 1]
Type=102
Origin=British
Side=1
CargoExt=2
CargoInt=0
CfgDate=19390101
No=1
Escort=false
SpawnProbability=100
CrewRating=2

Thats one reason why a lightship couldnt be classed as cargo/merchant or could spawn anywhere
It can be given a different class - say -type=100 which is a resupply ship and would only appear where scripted

Hope that makes sense

:hmm: Where can one find the list of ships in each Type, i.e., Type 102, or Type 104? For example, I have added the FishingBoat3=Cutter by DivingDuck, and it looks fine in the game Museum, but so far it doesn't appear in my Campaign play. Where is the list to show which ships (Cutter,Trawler, etc.) are included (that the GW1.1a game will see as a generic choice) in Type 104?

The type=104 are coastal so appear around the coastline
You will run into it sooner or later if you added it correctly
There is no list as such but the 2 campaign layers - RND and SCR

Hi
Is it possible to add new ships to convoys? All of them are great and, with Improved convoy mod, it is very hard to find them after 1941. I know, this topic has been already discussed, but I would like to know if there are any chances now to do that?

Thanks

[chris911]

but thats more the prob that the convoys are not generic in 1.1a when the entries are changed to generic u eill find a lot more different ships in a convoy.

The Mark III Sunderland, as modelled in the game, didn't appear until early 1942.

I can only guess that the SH3 devs wanted only one type of Sunderland, and the Mark III was arguably the definitive, hence maybe why there are no earlier types modelled.

But it could be cloned, remodelled (the earlier ones had a different hull shape), reskinned, respecced and just basically retroverted though...hehe...

Would a quick news update kill you people? We all appreciate the work you guys have put in, but it sometimes comes across that you're Lording it over us.

All I can say without Kpt´s permission is that the team is working VERY hard. Kpt himself send this message to me when I asked him something:

" I've been working * * for almost 36 hours straight. I am F'ing tired. "

So, like I said, the team is working VERY hard to get it done.

And when the time is right, there will be updates on our progress.

And just to remind you, GW changes alot of things, not just the gameplay, but graphics and all that. So it takes time. Remember how the stock SHIII game out when it was rushed? ;)

Here, have a "Place your favorite drink here" and relax. Ok? :up:

And what comes to the 'You are having a great time playing the GWX over there blaa blaa blaa', I can say that the playing is testing. I´d like to know how many of the team have actually played the GWX or even SHIII for fun for a long time.

I´m not trying to attack you in any way General. You just have to understand that every mod made by the community is made by trial & error. It takes time.

[Boris]

I understand your frustration, but you're borderline trolling. Remember, we're making this mod for people like you. But when people like you come along and start bad mouthing the team I wonder why I'm even still doing this.

I'm not saying be nice or no mod, but people with your attitude make me question why I even bother.

Fair enough, you wanted to provoke , but there are nicer ways of asking for an update.
Lighten up for one thing!

Less time spent posting here, means the team is busy working... rest assured we are making progress constantly.

i dont know how to say by the right way about my english..
but sometimes its better to shutup your mouth before to say anythinh you dont know what you're talking about...
i really thing you have NO IDEA about what kind of job its necesary to create somethin like GW :rock:

First take a look about, and after if you didnt like it, you better shutup :nope:

For the rest of the people::
Sorry about my style-words, but cant say nothing better. :smug:

I don't wish to cause offence, I'm just trying to provoke a response. I meant no harm. Of course we all appreciate the great work done in the past, present and future but the nicely, nicely approach didn't seem to bring forth any more news than my 'tough-love' method. You can't blame a guy for trying. It was just a ploy.

[Pants]

I understand your frustration mate i really do..so do alot of other people...I, like the rest of the devs havn't been able to play SH3/ GWX at all yet since 1.1a, Please bare with us..I'm sure Kpt. Lehmann ( Project manager ) Will have something to say.

[Cdre Gibs]

We have a saying over at GW, RELEASE THE GIBS. Trust me, you dont wont to go there!

Not wanting to get involved with something that doesn't concern me but the attitude that I take to this is that...
many of us would have shelved this game along time ago if it wasn't for the brilliant work all modders do. I'm in favour of patiently waiting if it will rekindle my love of this game an make me continue playing for a long time to come.

More power to the modders:rock:

As a wise man once said "It's ready when its ready".

Take your time guys and thanks.:up:

[ref]

I´d like to know how many of the team have actually played the GWX or even SHIII for fun for a long time.

Almost five months for me :nope:

[VonHelsching]

Yeah, I'm working on this since May...non-stop.

Well you got your ****in responce!

Look there are nicer ways of doing it without insultig the Dev team. It dosent hurt to be nice.

And when you rush **** it turns out bad(SHIII1.1). so keep your pants on and shut up, or at least be nicer!

[Dowly]

Ok guys, calm down. :up:

[WilhelmSchulz.]

A quick question will extra ships instaled inbetween GW and GWX afect GWX gameplay?:hmm:

[Cdre Gibs]

Let me put it this way, We would HIGHLY recommend a Clean install of SH3 patched to 1.4b only before installing GWX. Or your going to get some very weird results.

ok well I have a Stock version layed back because I play online. So if I had to do it anyways....Ahhh just re installl it. :p

This is what I'm talking about! You guys come across like the elders in the courtroom scene at the beginning of the original Superman movie: "Guilty." And we all know what happend to them in the end.

Unlike Ubi's games, I'll gladly wait for GWX because I know, 110%, that I'll be getting exactly what I want plus more...FOR FREE! Thumbs up to the GW dev. team :up: :rock: :up: :rock: :up: :rock: :up:

I'm sure this is what some on the development team look like after the long nights of putting this great mod together, http://www.erwin-leder.com/galerie/images/a19.jpg

Lemme tell ya "General"... no amount of "provocation" by you or anyone else will force me or anyone on our team to pull the trigger early. We are close... how close I cannot say... because things aren't "done" until each element passes testing... and there are those here who think we don't extensively test stuff... which is LAUGHABLE!

Seriously, is the meaning of the word "close" to you... the same as it is for me?

Projecting a release date could damage quality... so all of you can forget about getting a release date from me... until I know we have it ready.

We will be done when we are done and that is the end of the story mate. For some of us, our "hobby" has become a second job... on top of demanding real life jobs.

One of our teamers is a doctor... who works 12 hour shifts... and has a family... and he never sleeps so he work with us.

I am an EMT and work 12 hour shifts. My girlfriend and my two dogs all deserve Knights Crosses... and my fish should all receive wound badges.

All of our teamers work hard at their jobs... and even so... We take PRIDE in our work and it will show.

It is a simple thing to bitch and moan.

We've given you updates as proof that we are not "all wind and smoke."

GWX will happen. Forget about getting a release date. The GWX team gets enough pressure from me.

Now... everybody go back to your stations. (Tosses cap onto plotting table... and grins at GW officers. :arrgh!: They thought GW 1.0 was a joke too, remember? )

Except the guys who wait for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.Or Stars! Supernova Genesis:cry:.

I'm looking forward to the GWX immensely, and I'm fairly confident it'll be finished and great (don't blame me for being nervous about it, I've seen better and more confident development teams suddenly failing).

Merely a comment, not a criticism. Wouldn't you think a player of SH3 would have developed the virtue of..... PATIENCE? :D

Most certainly! SH3 isn't everybody's thing...it appeals much more to older players, just like flightsims.
