starting over
 
Hello y'all, I have not played SH3 for, maybe a couple of years now, moved on to SH4, and once I got comfy with the new way of doing things, and mastered (to a point) the manual targetting, I pootled around in that quite happily for a while, and also, because I have it sitting here, occasionally I dip me toes into SH5 - you gotta love the graphics! - and so these two, and a few other games have kept me sweet and occupied... but, but.. I still miss the FUN I had in SH3, and I want to give it another go.
Of course it will have to be the GWX megamod, and I thought I had squirrelled all the necessary files away, but can't locate them now.
All I can find is a nocd fix from 2005.
I think I recall something called emea with a green icon, and something about an update which has to go on before something else - but the details elude me, and if I can't recall the names I can't search for them. Can you help please? I am now on Windows 7 62 bit and am hoping that will not be a problem...

well thanks for that Jimbuna - but I think there are other files that need to precede Grey Wolf.... perhaps I am wrong though. Ta muchly ( smiles sweetly). :)

Jimbuna 11-05-12 04:00 PM

What SH3 disc do you have and what version is it?

She-Wolf 11-05-12 05:46 PM

The one I put on tonight is 1.4 - and it runs without the disk in. I haven't added anything else to it yet - just wanted to see if it would run as when I put it on this 64bit machine couple of years back, it would not display even though the game was running ( turned out to be that I needed to reduce the resolution).

As it is already 1.4, I assume I do not need to install the 1.4b emea file ( which I eventually located) after all, so it will just be the GWX files and JSGME.
Thank you Jimbuna

Welcome back to SH3 She-Wolf! Yes you are ready for GWX, JSGME, and SH3 Commander. You will want to check out the extra compartments thread, we now have a complete type VII u-boat.:up:

She-Wolf 11-06-12 04:15 AM

Oh! Ah! thank you HW3, will do that :up:

I'd forgotten the joys of creeping down the Kiel Kanal at TCx4... will put that right before I play again - but it is nice to be back.
Despite what the later games offer, they cannot beat the playability of SH3 GWX. Happy sigh, going back to the Kanal now, to dangle me feet out and go fishing for tiddlers with Bernard..

HW3 11-06-12 05:11 PM

If you love the Kanal, you'll love this mod GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships V7 that BBW released. Lots of eye candy in it from the LSH mod.:03:

noted HW3, shall go and have a look, thank you :) Have just completed my first 'dummy run' patrol so now have the joy of the Kanal all over again as I start a new patrol in August 1939 - but I shall tweak the TC limit this time....

ps - do I need to be in base to add this mod please?

pps Is Big Boy still around? Haven't seen any posts from him for a while..

HW3 11-07-12 05:29 PM

Yes you need to be in base.

I haven't noticed him here lately, Jim or Steve might know more.

A heads up on v7. The auto plot has changed, you now need to navigate through the locks before using the auto plot button. Enjoy the view!

She-Wolf 11-07-12 05:39 PM

ooh, sounds interesting! look forward to it.:salute:

Jimbuna 11-08-12 11:38 AM

BBW's visits are becoming more infrequent unfortunately but he has been popping in on occasion.
