If you got the "shes going down" message, you should get the renown :up:

ok, thx. But it is still weird. None of you guys ever had a grey symbol?

Yes....on occasion....it sometimes signifies that the vessel was sunk by means other than you ie: mines or weather....but not always :arrgh!:

Take a look at my webbie. Lots of usefull stuff there. Welcome aboard! :D

OK. The post that I "Was" replying too, is no longer there...

If I am not running GWX, I cannot reload at ports? Is this correct? I'm playing the campaign and are arriving at hamburg but I don't get the reload option. :down: Also, how can I find the GWX patch? I found this (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=102096) but which one do I load?

you have to download all 5 of them.

undue all your mods

download the 5 .bin files, put them in your sh3 director

download gwx.exe put that in your directory and run it.

after installation is complete, download/run gwx.exe 1.03

that will update you to gwx 1.03

So I can't reload at ports without GWX?

yes .. you can ... just dock like your base ... you can't award medals or anything like that ..... you get fresh torpedo's and fuel and food ... continue your mission and then make your way back to your assigned base ..... once there you can award awards to your crew ......

The only option you can't carry out is the upgrading of equipment....awarding medals is allowed :yep:

When you dock at any other port outside of you home port, you can:

AWARD MEDALS
REPAIR YOUR BOAT
RECEIVE TORPS, FUEL & AMMO

You cannot:

UPGRADE YOUR BOAT.

When you are docked at an 'away' port you get the renown gathered so far.:up:

MAN ! All this time I just thought I got re-stock and repairs .. didn't know I could award the medals at that time .... only have docked 2 times at different ports mostly just for hull repairs so I could make it home again ......:oops:

No prob matey :up:

The renown that you didn't lose is lost? Only if you dock at other ports then, because normally it just accumulates, no?
And I can't install the GWX, it gives an error message.

1. Uninstall SH3 via Windows' "Add/Remove programs"
2. Open Windows Explorer and:
- *delete* the folder where you had installed SH3
- *delete* the \My Documents\SH3 folder
3. Reinstall SH3
4. If your SH3 did not come with patch v1.4b already included, install patch v1.4b. Ensure you install the patch that corresponds to your copy of SH3 (Download/DVD/EMEA/US)
5. OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this "clean" install as a backup to avoid the need to follow steps 1-3 if your game becomes corrupt in future
6.Download into the SAME folder GWX.exe and the five .bin files. While there grab the v1.03 patch
7. Run GWX.exe and follow the installation prompts
8. Run GWX103.exe and follow the installation prompts
9. SH3 COMMANDER USERS: Download the GWX 1.02+ Cfg files for SH3 Commander and unzip the contents DIRECTLY into your SH3 Commander\Cfg folder.
