Well said. IMHO you shouldn't have to be a "famous" Kaleun to get upgrades. I like the HYGM tonnage based system but I don't know how to convert GW totally to tonnage so I used their no renown and increased "training'install" times for any upgrades. It works for me.;)

Thanks. I converted all mine to oog format using FreeRIP and never had a problem since. I noticed the three digit number in front of the file names but I don't remember putting them there or downloading the files with them there. FreeRip may have inserted them at the beginning as I did a "mass" convert.

Sure thing Samwolf- I have no idea WHY using this particular format works, but it does, so that's all that matters I suppose.

I agree, used to bug me because it seemed it was always my favorite songs that were getting cut off.

Is there anyone still d/l GWX?

As of this posting.

If you need a volunteer, I'm available.;)

I think most are done, Deep-Six. Hang in there, its woth the wait. :up:

There IS a fairly simple workaround. Edit your renown values earned per ship (don't ask me how, I've never done it, but I imagine it couldn't be too hard) so that you earn full value based on whatever realism percent you play.

Example: King George BB is currently worth 1500 renown. You play on 63% realism. Edit the King George so it gives 2380 renown. (Since 2380 x 63% is about equal to 1500). There you go. 100% renown on 63% realism :smug:

Since this isn't a total thread hijack, I'll bring it back to GWX...

I really can't wait to see all the surprises in store. I've heard that GWX will include a new ship sinking mechanic. Is there anything more the GWX team can tell us about that?

Renown is different from tonnage. Think of renown as simply fame or popularity. The more you accomplish, the more famous/popular/influential you become. Someone with alot of influence can pretty much get what they want in terms of equipment aquisition.
Thats the argument for renonwn, and its a STOCK feature. Not a GW specific one.

The NYGM system is a basically a very clever way to work the same renown system. All they did was increase the renown awarded per ship type to equal it's tonnage, then force the game to play at a 100% realism percentage with minimal realism options checked so your rewarded 100% of your renown.

Renown in stock and NYGM's use of it are entirely different. The stock system rewards the player for being successful. The more realistic, the more the reward. NYGM's system only costs you time in port, but it does not reward success the same way the stock system does.

Has anything been done to address the woeful 3D crew textures . Really wrecks the whole visual effect of the game in my opinion .

Crew textures have been redone in GWX.

Has the much rumored "Nudie Jessica Alba Nurse" skin* been implemented? It would make those trips out of and back into port much more interesting! :cool:






*Note: There is no such skin. A man can dream, can't he?

Ok, I have finally d/l all the files and installed it.

now for the big test...:)

Do you use SH3Cmdr? Do you have the "Randomise Gramophone tracks" option selected?

If yes to both, there's the reason why the prefixing numbers - SH3Cmdr adds them on load to force a "shuffle" of the tracks.

A simple rollback removes the numbers (assuming they weren't there to begin with ;)).

O...M...G:o :o :o

My socks were just blown right off my feet. :rock: :rock: :rock:

I also got seasick.:yep:
