Going to install GWX, how to do it?

fastfed · 03-26-07, 10:11 AM

I have the latest update with SH3, with all the mods on the download section of this website, I never even knew GWX was here, and after playing SH4 the past few days I don't like it, and loved SH3..

So should I do a fresh install of SH3, update it with all patches, than install GWX??

How should I go about doing it?

THANKS ALL!!

1. fresh install
2. install 1.4b (SHIII patch)
3. install GWX
4. run GWX to see if it runs smoothly
5. if it does close it down and install 1.03
6. and then you're ready to go

(remember to have all the GWX bin files in the same folders as the exe)

1.

-You need a fresh installed SH3 installation
-patch it up to 1.4b from http://www.silenthunteriii.com/uk/home.php

2.

-Download all the 5 bins + gwx.exe here:http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/GWX/
(read the instructions on the website)
-when finished downloading make sure the bins are in the same map and run the gwx.exe
-Install the supermod

3.

-today we released the GWX 1.03 patch , download that here http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=951

-When finished downloading run the gwx103.exe and let it install.

4.

Enjoy skipper

Don't forget to delete the SH3 folder in 'My Documents', also check to see if the program folder has been left after the uninstall. If it has then delete it.

Enjoy GWX

am I in for a suprise with this mod??

I never even knew about it and kept hearing how great it was, and I thought the SH3 with the other mods were great..

What's the main difference with this game?

LOL, have you been playing Stock SH3 + mods? If so, just install GWX and you will see instantly.

Honestly, there's too many changes to list here. Needless to say you will like it.

I would point you to the GWX manual but it's offline at the moment. (well until I get u/l again)

EDIT - I lied, there is a copy available (v1.02) click on my sig and have a read of the online manual. You've got time to spare while the parts d/l, you'll need it.

I too suddenly got the urge to play sh3 again after trying sh4. But i dont want starforce. If i buy silent hunter 3 today will it have starforce?

fastfed · 03-26-07, 10:55 AM

reading the manual now, man I am excited to get back into a REAL subsim, rather than that arcade crap over in SH4, I posted about my leaving on the SH4 forum, but I respected the game as to not even mention what was wrong with the game..

But if this GWX gives me even a little more feeling of actually being in the sub than the stock SH3 did, then SH4 has no chance, because it just can't compare to even the stock SH3 game

i am going to reinstall SH3 and try the GWX mod too. I played vanilla SH3 for a long time but my rig would never run it with GWX. Got a new system last month and I must admit, I love SH4 and it runs great on my system, but I can't stand the bugs and unagressive escorts so I think I will go back to SH3 for a while

quick question about the GWX mod. Can you still customize your realism? I have no deisre to get into that manual targeting yet!

Good question, I too don't want to manually target.

danlisa · 03-26-07, 11:01 AM

Yes, you can still set your realism to whatever you like.

sorry guys. another question. what is the difference between GWX and the Grey Wolves mod? I for some reason thought they were the same.
