In-game? Don't think it's possible.

There are several mods that put food in the boat, and that change the clothes.

Not sure what you mean by this.

There are no other subs in SH3, unless you do multiplayer.

What do you mean?

Flakmonkey's New Interiors.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=162631

Don't know what you mean.

Stock SH3 and every supermod except GWX has that. There is a mod to restore it and it's easy to do yourself.

Capt Teach's Color Icons.

See #9.

Can't be done. You need SH4 for that.

Not sure what you mean.

Not likely.

11. Renown for following orders

As mentioned earlier, it's easy to do manually by simply editing this file in your copy of SH3 with GWX installed:

SilentHunterIII/data/Cfg/Basic.cfg (1st 12 lines shown below)


;24th April 2008 bbw
[LINE_COLORS]
ColorSelected=0xffffffee
ColorNotSelectable=0x676767ee
ColorOthers=0x989898ee
[DAMAGE]
OpenComp=1
PartiallyOpenComp=0.5
EnclosedComp=0.1
[RENOWN]
RenownReachGridObjCompleted=0 <= change 0 to any positive number
RenownPatrolGridObjCompleted=0 <= change 0 to any positive number



You will now get the corresponding amount of renown for Reaching and Patrolling your grid objective.
:yeah:

Thanks Steve for the Stocking stuffers!!!! I will try out the mods you suggested and answer your questions as well.

Thank you....I will try that and see if it works!

I really wish you hadn't put your answers inside the same Quote box. It means I have to do your work as well as mine to answer your new questions.

HUGE Thanks!!!!! At first I could not get your suggestion to work. When I went in the folder to make corrections - FIRST it wanted a text editor. NOt being a tech guy I had no ideal if I had one of those install on my computer or not. So I try word pad, the Office word, then text and none of them would work. SECOND - Each time I tried to make to corrections it would tell me I did not have permission. I check to see if I was run as administrator and I was but still get the error.

So here is what I did. I took the file and copied it to my desktop there I used word pad ( most likely could have used Word as well) made the corrections and pasted it back in the file and it took it. Yeah!!! now hopefully it will work and give me renown for finishing a session.

Okay fine.

With WE Assistance on, once he has identified the ship you click on the upper left corner of the notepad where it says "Ship". The book will automagically open to that ship.

Well, SH4 has been out for almost six years, and nobody has yet been able to put the radio into SH3. Possible? I don't know. Likely? Not much, unless you want to learn how to do it. The problem is that SH4 U-Boats is actually better than SH3, but due to it's coming out so soon after nobody ever bothered to mod it as much.

Ah, you want the clothes to deteriorate over time. Okay. Get as many different clothes mods together as you can. Put them into SH3 Commander using its 'Date' function. Then they will change by date. Unfortunately you'll have to do that for each single patrol, as SH3C can use absolute dates, but not relative dates.

Ah, I see. The reason GWX removes renown for just following orders is that real captains didn't win points with the brass by just following orders. They had to be successful "above and beyond the call of duty". Such a thing could be created in a new game, but adapting SH3 to do it would be a whole lot more work than it's worth. Easier to just edit your own renown to have as much as you want. Me? I never use the stuff myself.

Extra u-boats were added in by GWX. Unfortunately they can't dive or fire torpedoes; they can only follow on the surface and attack with their guns. You can spot them on the map by looking at the convoy symbol. If it the round Sub symbol then the 'lead' ship of the convoy is a u-boat, and you will have company when you attack.

As for a new mod, this would violate things that are hard-coded into the game. It can be done, but it is Ubisoft's proprietary property, and changing it could land people in court or even in prison.

People are already hurt by depth charges, just not that specifically. To change that would again mean fiddling with the basic codes, which not only could land folks in trouble but is such a huge amount of work as to make it not worthwhile.

As for food, it's a simple fact that not one single patrol was ever cut short because people were hungry or thirsty. If food did run short there were fish to catch and lone merchants to raid. They carried more food than they did fuel.

Again, WE Assistance does exactly that.

Raptor explained how to do that yourself. It's very easy.

Not possible without rewriting the whole game.

So Sooooorrry!!! I am new and guess I don't know good protocol. Will not do that next time!

It's not protocol, it's just that everything in a quote box doesn't show up in a new quote. I had to create new 'Quote' frames and copy and paste each of your new questions before I could answer them. Nothing official, just a pain. :sunny:

Thanks for the explination Steve. Now I understand the trouble it causes.

Steve - once again above and beyond the call of SubSim duty. :salute:
