Yes, it's fully compatible. It's the only one I ever use. Do you have it? Do you need it?

Assuming you have it: The two files can go directly into Data/Menu/Gui/Layout, replacing the ones that are there. If you use JSGME, then create a series of folders with those labels, and put them inside another folder, labelled 'Das Boot Officers' (actually, you can call it anything you like. I just use whatever is easiest to remember). That folder will then go directly into JSGME's Mods folder.

Assuming you don't have it, here it is, ready to go:

3 Jane and Steve,

Thanks very much for your advice and assistance. I've noted your comments about the lightship, and also downloaded a fresh copy of the "Das Boot" mod.

Cheers and kindest regards.

Tim.

I wish to make an apology. Sometimes I get sooooo frustrated I could pull my hair out. I'm sorry I said the things that I said. All I wish is to get a decent GWX 2.0 program that doesn't crash, the torpedos don't disappear and that stupid microsoft error reporting box doesn't pop up right in the middle of an exciting battle. I mean, you lads have put so much work in this mod with the addition of the ships, planes and such. Why doesn't UBI put out SH3 with all the latest patches PLUS the GWX 2.0 after they iron out the bugs. Maybe give it another name like, I don't know, THE GREY WOLVES perhaps? It's a shame that noone else gets to enjoy the game. So, apology accepted?

Apology accepted... But never do that again.
Remember that each and everyone of us GWX team members test the work we have done : so everything in GWX works fine, otherwise we wouldn't release it . If anything wrong happens, report the CTD, and you'll get informations from us about it, but keep in mind that the responsible could most probably be your computer. :hmm:

And by the way... Sink them all !

Righteoooooo.....now that we're back on an even keel

After you've followed the instructions from the GWX website, you may want to carry out an extra precautionary measure I perform.
Insert your game disc and select the 'uninstall' option. If there are any hidden files left, this option will be open to you. There are not always hidden files left, but on occasion there are.
What is absolutely key to the success of the process is ensuring the SH3 folder in C:MyDocs and the corresponding folder in C:Program Files (the whole Ubisoft folder if you only have SH3 contained within it) are deleted in their entirity.

Report back if you encounter any difficulties.

Good Luck

Well Jimbuna, I downloaded your files and started all over again. I made sure there were no SH3 files on the computer and did a search just to make sure. I downloaded the files onto a folder on my desktop labeled GWX 2.0, reinstalled the game and reinstalled the patches to 1.4b. Then I pressed the GWX.exe icon for setup and off it went. For a while. It got 50% of the way down then a gray box appeared and asked me for disk 4. It didn't recognize the GWX-4.bin file in the folder. I tried again with the same results. Any solutions?

Initially I was going to ask if you put all the bin files in the same folder as the exe.....it would appear you have.

Check all the GWX2.0 files individually with the MD5 programme.......It is possible bin 4 is corrupt and needs to be downloaded again.

If that doesn't fix the problem then it is highly likely you still have some residual files stored somewhere in your system........Manually delete the SH3 folder in C:/MyDocs AND USE THE GAME DISC ONLY TO UNINSTALL THE SH3 FILES (using the uninstall option from the choices the disc gives you after inserting it via your CD/DVD Rom)......after completion of the uninstall, check for a folder in your C drive entitled Ubisoft....and providing you have no other Ubisoft games installed, delete that file.

Download RegVac: http://www.download.com/RegVac-Regis...-10797012.html and run it through your system. It will detect any unused files as well as those that no longer have any purpose being in your system eg. SH3 and delete them.

Finally, perform a search in your computer for anything called 'SH3', Ubisoft etc. before reinstalling via the letter of the comprehensive installation instructions available from the GWX website (available by clicking on my sig).

Good Luck

I'm sorry kamerad, your files didnot jive with mp5 mate. I had a chat wit danlouise and he said to check them out thoroughly which I did. None of the files matched.

@lorcan3

First up is it the GWX2-4.bin file alone your having problems with? If so I can put thit up on my ftp providing this is ok with GWX and Subsim guys. To be honest I could never figure md5 either, it never worked for me However I thought what the hey and went ahead and installed, I never looked back.

If I see no objections here I'll pm you login details.

PS unfortunately I'm 512 up, but the offer is there.

Best regards.

Jeez Louise..... :rotfl: :rotfl:

BTW, did you check you other thread?

[lorcan3]

Kpt. Lehman's file is on page 1. Go to the GWX homepage and there you will see his file on filefront. That's where I got them from. Right now I am downloading the whole batch from gameshadow. It'll take some time to download even though I have broadband but I have other things to do right now like cleaning my arsenal and getting ready for the Islamic horde that will be pouring across our shores once Osama bin Obama is elected Prez. Hang 'em up from the yardarm I say! Better yet, walk the plank into an ocean full of hungry man-eating sharks! ARRRGGGGGHHHHH!

[danlisa]

Why are you re-downloading them? You checked them with MD5 mate and they were fine, or so you said.

The problem must be with your SH3 1.4b installation. As in your other thread.
