Need help with GWX

Werewolf · 10-16-07, 05:25 PM

Hello

After I've got a stronger computer I have just converted to GWX 1.03 again, but I have a problem: Every time I start the game my radar is missing and I get the report that the radar mast and radar are destroyed, I've never encountered this problem before, any ideas anyone?

A couple of questions for you.

What boat Type are you using?
Did you enable any other mods? If yes did you do it while at port and did you rollback SH3Cmdr?

I'll stick my neck out

and say thet you've added a mod that changes the conning tower dat files. Maybe a skin, or twisty persicope mod.....things like that.

First, disable any mod that is not included in the GWX Basic installation and then test to see if you have that same problem. Then add the other mods, one at a time, to find the culprit.

@Danlisa

No I haven't, I swear!

....no really, it's a clean GWX install and I've only added the extras that come with GWX, that's all, the error arose imediately after I installed GWX, I always start up the game step by step for every install I make.....

@Melnibonian:

A type IXD2, my all time favourite

, and no I haven't added any other mods and I was in port, or at the tanker Brake, when I installed GWX and I completely rolled back and even uninstalled SH3Cmdr before I begun installing GWX :hmm:

The career however was started 8 months ago when I had NYGM installed...but that shouldn't mess up the conning tower .dat files should it? :hmm:

LOL - Try it with a new career. See if you still have the same problem.

Just rename the SH3 Folder that's in MY Documents.

Also, answer me this. Was this a clean install of GWX over a Clean verson of Stock 1.4b? Please say that you did not add GWX over NYGM?

KrvKpt. Falke · 10-17-07, 06:09 AM

I had that problem too with SH3 1.4b, but its gone at least since GWX 1.02 (100% sure that its gone in 1.03).
It seems you need a clean install of SH3...

The radar destroyed problem is a combination of the tower's dat and the sensor files, a change to any of them could cause the problem.

Of course I didn't

what do you take me for!?

nono....it was a clean install alright, clean as a whistle!...always wondered how a whistle could be clean with all of that spit in it :hmm: ....anyway hehe I completely uninstalled SH3, then reinstalled it and installed 1.4b patch on top and then GWX 1.03

after that many beautiful things but radar no work

Regarding the new career, no! I started out from Kiel in january 1943 made my way through the Atlantic in my IXD2, broke into the Indian Ocean, I downed almost 50000 tons in a 4 month long patrol and made it to Penang, refitted and went out on 2nd patrol, me and that boat go a long way there's no way I'll abandon that career

there must be an alternative

@Falke

I made a clean install

@Ref

:hmm: yeah okay....I just can't see how a change in either of them could have occured, I did everything by the book and have no GWX "unauthorised" patches installed.

KrvKpt. Falke · 10-17-07, 07:09 PM

Its strange.
But do what danlisa suggested. Just to find out if itll happen with completly new profile: start in 10th flotilla with 9d2 - load it one or two times and see if you will get that message again...if no then your old saves are ... you know

Werewolf · 10-17-07, 10:55 PM

@Falke:

:hmm: not sure that I like that "you know" hehe

well...back to the drawing board...I'll do what is suggested and try to start a new career etc.....thanks all of you for trying to help me

Koondawg · 10-18-07, 05:07 AM

Did you keep the old career and then do install a new and then add in the old career? I had that trble till making a new career....

Werewolf · 10-18-07, 10:08 AM

@Koondawg

Yeah that's eaxactly what I did, but the problem is solved now!

It turned out that it was an incorrect idx number for the radar, after I changed that to the correct one I had my radar back sweeping nicely on its telescopic mast, but yeah :hmm: it seems that it's relatively complicated to continue on the old career even if one changes mod while in port......if there'll any more complications only time can tell, but so far I'm enjoying to roam around in a well created Indian Ocean theatre, well done GWX team and thanks for helping me all of you
