Map Overlay Offset From U-Boat

GluteusMaximus · 01-17-07, 12:47 AM

Ahoy Ahoy Gotta say first off... OMFG!!!...I had no idea this game came so far. I once downloaded a trial demo of a SubHunt and it was about as fun as pong. Then came Silent Hunter for DOS. Was sorta ok for a DOS game, but did nothing for me compared to flight/space combat sims of that time. Now I've all but burned my other games as they no longer can even come close to the complete thrill I get from Silent Hunter III. I'm drooling over the thought that Silent Hunter IV can offer something even better than what I'm getting out of SHIII. Ok, now to my problem, I installed Silent Hunter III, upgraded to 1.4b, installed GWX and then applied the GWX December 23rd Corrections via JSGME. I now have a map problem where the center of the map overlay isn't centered on the U-Boat. Additionally, when I zoom all the way into the U-Boat, I discover the U-Boat isn't there. Just a line pointing straight north from where the U-Boat appears to be. I've been reading all over about problems with ATI graphics cards, but I'm using Nvdia. Did I miss something? Thanks in advance... GM

Try ctrl-left click to centre the u-boat on the map where you place the cursor.

Didn't work. It just does as it's supposed to and moves the invisible U-boat to a new location on the map but the distance/radial image is offset to the upper left of the U-boat. The U-boat is positioned 5oo Metre on the 135 radial from the centre of the overlay.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas then. Perhaps someone else will know.

Sweet!!!....it was the bearing overlay that was the problem. I downloaded the SH3_Bearing_Overlay_3.0 and put the TGA files in each sub folder (renaming them of course) and all is well. Thanks so much for the quick reply and the thread that explained it in more detail. You guys rock.

Me personally prefers rolling from rocking, like a Dutch Egg. Glad to help. Maybe finally I'll fix my bearing wheel too..? I've allready got used to it.

GT182 · 01-17-07, 10:09 PM

Search didn't work. Does anyone have the link to get the SH3_Bearing_Overlay_3.0? Thanks.

The same problem here. here a screenshot

could be possible restore the stock overlay and sub icon in GWX ?

bigboywooly · 01-20-07, 08:45 PM

Yes you can certainly try that
There was a bearing overlay fix for GW - that might do it as well
