Adjusting Speed

RWingfield · 04-03-09, 07:30 PM

Hello all,
Just bought SH3, and I'm wondering how I can alter the sub speed to make them go faster. Not accelerate the game, just go faster. I just like speed but can't alter a game properly to save my life.

Which boat are you driving? I'll get you a modified file for that boat that will let you run fast, shoot fast, & dive fast.

...My answer is "all of them". (If possible.) Seriously though, I'll take whichever.

Don't do it. Just don't do it...

Bloody show off in the movie clip unless you've got WW2 jet engine built inside the engine room I reckon it possible to dive up and down that quick.

If the man wants to spend his time playing Call of Duty with torpedoes, let him!

I can give you a starter. Go to
E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Submarine

or wherever you've got shiii installed

open up the appropriate folder for the type of boat whose speed you want to adjust. In there is a .cfg file. Open it with notebook and at the top of the list you'll find a value for the top speed of the boat.

There may be other things you need to do, dunno, never tried it. Someone else will know tho! Meantimes back your file up and try it.

EDIT: or just try the s-boot mod. Should satisfy your speed urges.

OK, I uploaded the 'Bionic Type 7s.zip' to my Filefront page. It modifies speed, crush depth, torpedo speed & power, gun speed & power, let's you 'see' farther with the hydrophones. It will be fun for a while anyway.

Back up each and every one of these files (the real ones) before you drop these into your game's data folder. Also, these will work if you are running SH3 v1.4b. If you are running any of the ubber mods, they might not work.

BobChase,
Copied old files and moved the new ones in. However whenever I try to drive the VIIb, the program crashes. Any ideas?

No, not right now. If you copy your original files back into the game - does it work then?

If it does, then if you just put the two 7b files back into it's submarine folder, will it work then?

If we can get you back working, then i will show you how to do the mods yourself.

Great! I was worried that we broke it!

Now, go to my filefront page and download the Timetravelers mods there.

You will only need the SH3 Inspector to change your speed. If you download the Mini Tweaker mods (two files) I can also teach you to change the torpedo speed, default depth, hit power, etc. That one can also be used for better gunnery too.

There is another file up there called Wofies TweekPak. I can teach you how to use that one too. I use it for changing my default torpedo loadout for my boats. It saves time in the game like when the type 2 torpedo is available and I don't want to spend time loading each one into the boat, swapping out the type 1s.\ just to start a mission Another use that is nice for someone who is just getting started with the game is to load up some of each of the torpedos to see how they perform.

Anyway, download the mods and I will talk you through them.
