i put the GWNS add ons mod in and enabled it with JSGME, which includes all of AG124s ships except the empire celt tanker i have not installed that one yet,under the -roster then sea folder i see the ships in there. i looked in the british ships roster, in there i found the US instead of BR clatham transport, hmmm thats strange you would think that would go in the american ships folder,but these ship were installed using JSGME instead of manually.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the national listing in each Roster folder determines what flag the ship flies. You can just change the listing in each folder to match the nation the folder is for.

After thinking about it, it might be possible that it just hasn't randomly assigned those ships to any convoys you've seen. They could be there waiting to go.

My game at the first load screen just crashes and goes to destop now, no window pop up etc, nothing at all. I've tried removing SH3 and reinstalling a few times now, it keeps doing the same thing, anyone have an idea?

thnx sailor steve for your input,i went in the roster then sea folders and changed the display names to the correct nationality for the british and american ships for AG124s ships.and like you said maybe there out there waiting to showup.will see what happens,in the meantime im downloading NYGM_war tonnage mod 2.0 and making a seperate install of SH3.i have another big question about the "grey wolves mod",how come you never see any enemy airplanes:hmm: ive been all over the atlantic and no PBys,hurricanes or Sunderlands,thats a big dissapointment.also im thinking of getting that "daily contact report mod" im wondering if that will work with GW,that is a cool little mod it makes more convoys show up on the map instead of sailing all over the place.

Two problems with planes:
1) In the stock game they show up way too much; they travel and attack in large groups, when in reality the big patrol planes usually travelled alone.

2) They are way to easy to shoot down; players have claimed as many as 20 PBYs or Sunderlands before finally being overwhelmed. In real life the sub was lucky to escape even one without damage.

The Airpower mod attempted to address both those problems, making aircraft sightings and attacks much fewer, and making the planes much tougher to shoot down. All of the supermods have included Airpower or something like it of their own devising, so you shouldn't see them as much.

Also, it is an often-reported bug that if you are travelling at a time compression of 1024 or higher it can interrupt plane sightings; either you never see any at all or you see one right after it attacks you! Luckily I'm using a version of Airpower, and the few times I've been attacked so far they missed.

The only thing I can really suggest is travel at a lower time compression.

okay thnx,i usually travel at 512TC

Sound Problem
 

Hello all. This is a problem that I've had from the beginning, but I really hoped that GW would correct it....it seems not so. I have just reinstalled SH3...patched it, and then installed GW. The problem is that... with no apparent reason, the voices of the officers are heard only in the central post. If I'm using the external camera and give an order, there is no voice that acknowledges my command...and also no other sounds whatsoever, except the ones thar come from other vessels. This usually occurs during a patrol, and in order to correct it I can only uninstall and reinstall the whole game. It's very frustrating. Sometimes I play for weeks and everything works just fine...sometimes it happens three times a day. :-?:-?:-? pls......help a humble periscope manoeuvrerer...

Another sound problem
 

My favorites games are Silent Hunter 3 and Il2 Sturmovik. SH3 was running with no problems, but due to some permanent echo in all sounds in Il2 Sturmovik I had to down the hardware acceleration nob a bit . Perfect sound in Sturmovik now but guess what? some voices in SH3 are too loud (wach officer) and others are too low. I change back the hardware acc. back to full but the voices are still with the volume messed up. Any help?

I had a very expensive new computer built for me a few months back.

Specs:
Motherboard: Abit AT8 32x (ATI RD580 Based AMD Athlon 64X2/FX/64 Main boards, 2000MT/s HT, Dual DDR400, ATI CrossFire™)
Memory: 2x1gb Corsair DDR433 pc3500
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ dual core
Harddrives: 2x74g Western Digital Raptors 10,000 rpm Serial ATA150
Windows XP Professional 64bit

Now given that, is it a problem that the led ram sticks are always maxed out in red, while playing?

if you all could be of some help
what config file do i want to make my deck gun and flack guns available in mod rough weather its really starting to piss me off when i cant use my deck guns

Go to the Data/Submarine folder. You have to change the file for each type of u-boat. The file is labeled 'Storm Settings' or 'Storm Conditions', and the stock setting says '7', meaning the gun can't be used in 7 m/s winds or higher. Mine are set to '12', just for the flak guns. I never use the deck gun if I see waves washing over the deck.

Upgraded settings come with both supermods.

In sh3\data\submarine\<uboot>\NSS_<uboot>.cfg change "StormConditions" with Notepad or any other text editor. When you set it to 15,1 you can use the guns in any weather condition.

CTD only when TCx 1024
 

Running clean install sh3 with patch and then Gray Wolves. I reset crew fatigue off using the wiki manual method and noticed I have been getting CTD's 1-2 a day. Today I have had 3 in the last hour just trying to transit to my patrol area....
:down:

Anyone?

Invalid Win32 Application error!!
 

Everytime i put the SH3 CD on the CD/DVD Player , insted loadind the Install
Menu via Autorun .exe itopens the CD with the explorer and then I see that
All install aplications inside are Invalid Win32 Applications...

I tryed the Autorun exe and the error message it's allways the same:

Invalid Win32 Application

So i simply can't install the Game! http://p4.forumforfree.com/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif

This is mi sistem info!

Can you give me a hand and tip me on how can i fix this!!!PLEASE!

This could be a RAM-problem, or cpu. I have experienced similar difficulties with GW. I think the extra eye candy is buggering my ailing computer. (Only with TC 1024)

There are several things you can try.

Disable Autorun. Download and install TweakUI:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

Start it, go to My Computer, Autoplay, Drives, deselect your CD ROM and click Apply. Then go to My Computer, Autoplay, Types and deselect Enable Autoplay for CD and DVD drivers, click Apply. Exit the program, reboot and try to install SH3.

Update/reinstall the chipset drivers of your board:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_...xp64_6.86.html

If that helped your next problem will be that the version of Starforce that comes with SH3 doesn´t run under WinXP 64-bit, so you can´t start SH3. There is no official solution for that. Use Google to find a fix.

red u-boot under water
 

Hello all, as this is my first post I would like to greet everyone :cool:

To the point. Everything with SH3 graphics is ok on my comp but there's one thing that I really don't like and, as I remember, I havent met this problem in the previous installations. Well, the problem is that my u-boot and all ships are red underwater :roll: I really find it kinda strange - above water everything is ok but with camera underwater these red shadows look realy nasty.

My graphics is GF6600GT (with latest drivers).
I'd be very grateful for any help.

Greets,
naiver

Cant seem to pause the game for any extended period of time with out the game locking up. I happens as well on the opening screen.....it I leave for about 10+ minutes...It will be locked up....most of the time.:nope: (p.s....not screen saver...it's set to 50 minutes, dont know if that would cause it)


Pentium 4 128 GHZ CPU
512 Ram
6600 GT (latest driver)

All of the sudden my attack periscope now takes forever to dry off (for the water to run down and view clears up)--it stays blurry for a really long time (45 sec to minute) even at shallow periscope depth making taking shots and tracking a pain-it clears up eventually and then when a wave hits its back to blurry for another minute!!! My Observation scope is fine and doesn't do this--only the attack scope. this is just killing me because it just started happening for no reason yesterday--have been playing for over a month and it was fine. I didn't install any new mods that would affect graphics-- I have latest video drivers and have tried the sedona and extreme forceware 84.xx drivers. No major changes to my system except changing sound acceleration (which i tried changing back)for SWAT 4 to run. I am using:

SH3 Commander 2.6(tried starting without to see if it would fix it--didn't)
Grey Wolves 1.1a
Das Boot Clothes
TDC Slideout for attack scope--this should be a must have btw!(been installed and working fine)

Anyone else had this problem -- there is no slowdown or system lag--the damn thing just stays blurry so i can't see through it...it happens in carreer and single missions and i noticed it yesterday when continuing my career(in base patrol 6). no changes to SH3 Commander config...confused....Anyone run into this--or is there a mod to install little windshield wipers on the attack scope?
thx

I've been having these until recently so here is how i fixed it for those who might benefit--

write down the menuid # when the error pops up --
search on that number in the menu1024.ini file or dials.cfg
see what it refers to, i.,e. periscope stuff or tdc layout, etc. then search on that to see if you find anything suspicious. usually the menu numbers are duplicated or out of order:

Mine turned out to be a double numbering of G3F I140 -- so I had to renumber everything after G3F I140. I was using:

GW 1.1a
SH3 Comm 2.6
TDC Slideout for attack scope
4Dials slideout

now everything runs flawlessly. no errors
