Help on GVX 3.0 / Sub indicator?

silenthunter3grh · 09-15-09, 05:54 PM

I love the original sh3. Yesterday l loaded the GVX 3.0 mod and l love the modified game....HOWEVER there is one nagging issue l can't resolve. When l press F12 for the outside camera view, l can see everything in great detail...except the "yellow/gold circle with the arrow" that is visible in the original SH3 version. It is simply missing. The result of course is l cannot see at a glance (F12) where my sub is located below the surface. The lack of it makes for an awkward game . Surely the GVX 3.0 team did not remove this most critical tool from the game. Can anyone out there help me with resolving this issue? Tks

Welcome aboard, Silent hunter

I hate to tell you that during WWII (and even today) the little handy arrow was not available.

But enjoy the game whichever way it suits you

Or course, Brag is correct. Fortunately, the destroyers couldn't see the marker either.
As one gets better with the game and targeting, these little aids become less important, until they become a distraction and killer of realism.
silenthunter3grh: be forewarned; this game is addicting; the better one gets at it, the more he (or she, sorry Penny) strives for realism and attention to historical detail.

Thanks Firewall for the link for the uboat marker. I downloaded it but need help to integrate it with the software. I know how to uncompress a RAR file but l need help with this one. Once l download it to the ubisoft folder (where the GVX 3.0 is located), l can't seem to find a "run" direction to have it integrate. What am l doing wrong. I am not a techy by any stretch of the imagination. With this issue l am under water and over my head. Help please Tks

OK, this is what you do:
go to the folder Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII on your C drive
In that folder you will find a file called JSGME (which is a program. When you click on it to activate, it will create a folder called "mods" in that directory.
Into that folder place the four files you have decompressed:
"Blue U-boat Marker, green U-boat marker, gray U-boat marker, and Red U-boat marker."
Now when you click on JSGME again, all four mods will be listed.
Select the color (colour in Britten) that you want and then click on the > sign and the mod will be activated.
When you next start your game, you will have that color U-boat marker.

Don't everyone forget you can press CTRL + Num Del to show/hide the marker if you have the proper textures installed as per above.
