One last thing, besides wolfpacks the only other game feature i didn't understand is utankers. Can someone please explain how i use a utanker (using sh3 commander) without losing my crew to transfers or getting a full compliment of torps? I though steiblers fixes solved that problem but i must not be doing it right.

Dock with "U-Bressel"
Exit game
Reload using sh3 commander making sure the selection "not a home base" is right
Reload?

Its all in the stiebler or hsie manuals under 'documentation' folder of the mod directory that you can read, or you can ask these questions and get replies quicker on the onealex discord.

Hi! I'm having a strange problem with the Hsie option selector, once clicked it says it can't find SH3.exe in the folder even when I'm in the same folder
What should I do? I've read and reread the instructions but I don't understand where I'm going wrong

1. Copy your SH3.exe from your SH3 game (installation) folder and place it in your SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 Folder.
2. Now, you can run the HsieOptionsSlector_v16B1.exe. You CAN NOT run the HsieOptionsSlector without the SH3.exe temporarily located in the SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 folder.
3. Make your changes and exit the HsieOptionsSlector and you'll get a message that your SH3.exe has been "updated",
4. Now, when your back to the SH3 game/ Support folder/Stiebler4c_v16B1 Folder, move your newly patched SH3.exe back to your SH3 game folder, like it was in step 1.

It works fine! Many thanks :Kaleun_Cheers:

Had an interesting issue.

1942 Jan. VIIB

Running onealex mod with no additional mods.

Was damaged by a destroyer that knocked out all my conning tower and deck equipment (radio antenna, deck gun, flak gun) and minor damage to the actual conning tower.
Command room flooded a bit and main pump was damaged and repaired
Radio room flooded and was damaged and repaired.

No other damage observed and only thing out of service was everything topside.

I try to move an officer into the aft quarters but a message says "compartment destroyed". I never received damaged to that compartment so not quite sure what happened. I did not reload or save scum during the whole encounter.

Got back to port and the hull was still 100%, so the boat wasn't as badly damaged as i thought (even though it knocked my boat out of service and had to return completely empty handed after a 35 day patrol :( ).

Trying to determine if this is a bug or maybe a corrupt install with onealex mod over my GWX?

Thank you!

Your last statement “with onealex mod over my GWX?” left me a bit confused. Did you copy OnAlex over top an existing install of SHIII. SHIII is an all-in-one mod with the game program, patches and some must have sub mods included. SHIII is not to be installed over top an existing SHIII installment, or activated by JSGME.

If you wanna have two different installments of SHIII. one of OneAlex and the other of GWX, then you need to run multi-sh3 and give each separate installation it’s own safe folder.

Hi.
I have been using U-Boat and SH5 for the last few years but I have now come back to my beloved SH3 and I thought I would try the OneAlex mod. I have read this and other forums for the last two days but no matter what I do, only the academy works. And it works great. But try as I might, if I click on missions the red bar loads up and blam, back to desktop. I am an experience user of mods and computers since the 80's but for the life of me I cant get this OneAlex mod to work on missions or career.
I have tried every suggestion on here and elsewhere. The standard GWX Gold mod works great but not this one. Someone somewhere must have the fix. So many on here with the same problem of academy working but not missions. I have a modern gaming PC with windows 11, 64gb ram, RTX4080 16GB Vram and the game is installed on its own solid state drive.

PLEASE HELP THIS OLD SEA DOG.:arrgh!: PS, yes I have followed the instructions, the videos and everything else. If I had some hair I would be pulling it out.

EDIT: Well folks, I managed to fix it. I now have it running on my 32" 4k monitor at 1920x1080p resolution. I don't really know how I fixed it other than installing the onealex mod and then following the install instructions, created a save game and then created a career and then installed the widescreen resolution that comes in the mod package. The sim worked great but obviously with pretty low rez and that different GUI. But I wanted the full OneAlex version so I then deleted everything and unzipped the mod again, followed the instructions except for doing the save bit and career bit. AAnd guess what, it all worked as it should. Done about 6 quick missions so far and started a career.
