Default cheating? I want to play with a XXI in early war.

Is this possible? I want at the start of my career play with a XXI.

What do I have to change?
mods shcommander, jsgme, gwx2.1, sound mod.

I know it's not good, but i want too.

thx.

There's been tons of threads on that here, but sadly you can't search for "XXI" because it is only 3 letters.

I have the original files on my old machine (haven't installed SH3 on the new one yet), which is currently lying in pieces in my bedroom with a busted video card.

Before I switched to GWX, I did some kind of slipshod editing of the *.cfg files in the program files/ubisoft/sh3/data folder. I think you just have to pick through the "flotilla.cfg" file for your desired flotilla. There's an entry for each flotilla that determines what u-boat you start with.

Sorry to be so vague, but I don't have the files I changed on hand for reference. You might also check out the mod forum on this board. Good luck.

Check for adequate mod here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=127152

And your wish come true without messing up with your files which is very dangerous at any time. Mod is JSGME ready.

If you don't use JSGME (it's must have) mod contains readme file. Just read and follow instructions.

Have a good hunt.

I knew there had to be a better way. Do that, not what I said.

While It's not what your looking for.

You can play the all the Single Missions with a XXI if you want.

You'll soon tire of shooting " Fish in a Barrel " as they say.

If you do make file changes be sure to backup files first.

Also be cautious about changeing files in GWX.

Happy Hunting

Carry on!

Default Idea

Good Idea would be to Rename Your SH Folder & Sortcut the same,Re-Install your Game,Hit Repair,Now you are putting In a Copy Of your SH,Keep 1 Clean,use the other for Changing any files ie Mods,etc etc,Now you have 2 copys of your Game,Its as easy as that

Additional tweak for availability of the snorkel-mounted radar detector:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...hlight=snorkel

See post #10.

Do what I did, and move the relevant files to the mod folder (from the other thread referenced above), make the changes Stiebler recommended, use JSGME, off ya go. The detector issue isn't a problem until about early '44, but knowing that a plane is buzzing around above you is never bad information to know.

I usually do my carreers with a VIIB, but always thought it would be fun to do it with the XXI. Is there a nuclear sub out there also?

It's so easy to play in 1939/1940 with a xxi. There is no destroyer who can catch me! I'm outrunning every one .

Now I'm looking for a taskforce!
