GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod)

[Cheapskate]

I suppose (strictly speaking) the only correct way to change the viewpoint is to modify the camera views.There are a number of mods around (CCIP certainly did one, ages ago) which let you do this. Have only ever tried one of them for myself though.
This is Sergbutos Camera mod: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=122690

IMHO this is a great mod. It lets you walk around on the bridge and inside the connning tower, go down on to the deck, swim round ( and under) the boat .
Be warned though, it is a pretty 'dirty' solution for GWX 2.1 and will cause some slight artifacting in the forward CR position as it conflicts with DD's Obs Periscope . This is hardly noticeable though. It also seems to interfere with the pericope magnifications; bringing these down to stock levels. There may be other side effects but I haven't seen anything bad yet.

If you do want to try it, download link is:

Provided you install with JSGME, you can always remove it if it doesn't suit you.

Thanx Cheapskate, I'll give it a try. Although I'd prefer some "click here to fix it" solution.

I wonder why they've changed it in the first place...

Well, I'm not sure why they did change it. But I actually like the effect. The stock view does, to my tastes, make the Control Room seem too spacious not in keeping with the cramped and claustrophobic atmosphere mentioned in memoirs and shown in Das Boot.

However,the camera mod will certainly do the job you want it to and you'll get some nice bonuses too.

Let us know what you think.

Have you tried right-clicking?

i'll try to find help here (sorry for my bad english)

i was playing SH3 for some years and now i want to try this great mod
i'm enjoying GWX and i'm happy to known that SH3 is still living
BUT i have this strange problem:
when i zoom-in map close enough to see my Compass Rose then my position is located at wrong position
it can be seen on this picture: (mousepointer is at my real position - as you can see by the sound detectors)



i'm using this configuration:
SH3 v1.4b
GWX 2.1
GF4 Ti 4200 64MB
XP SP3

and i also discovered this:

when i change "GF4 Ti 4200 64MB" to "Radeon 9250 128MB" or "GF 5200FX 128MB" then Compass Rose is in the right position BUT the performance of these 2 card is very low and game is not playable

my questions:
- are anyone playing GWX 2.x with a 64MB VGA card ?
- are anyone playing GWX 2.x with a DirectX 8 VGA card ?
- it is possible to turn off this Compass Rose or use any MOD to change this Compass Rose ?
- is there any other solution or advice ?

thanks for any help

Hi there,

installed GWX 2.1 yesterday and when I checked my ship recognition manual (???)...um..Erkennungshandbuch, I discovered that several shiptypes where recorded twice...sometimes with little differences according to mastheight or draft..some even with no difference at all...


The trampsteamer for example is one of those irritating entries which show up twice in the manual... has anyone else experienced this or is it just me?

thanks in advance...

One is with lights
The other without
Sadly game needs to put in page for ship even though same

[shackman]

Thanks for the clarifying answer... one ship even appeared three times..
Well at least now I know that it's on purpose...

best regards

[Morts]

i cant seem to get onto the GWX homepage, everytime i click the link...i get this
"We're sorry, but the page you requested cannot be found"

soo...if it isnt too much to ask for, could any one supply me with the GWX 2.0 torrent link ?

thanks

--------------------- *Edit*

Never mind, found it

Hey Guys,

i played a little bit arround with the config files, just to find out what the values are for ^^

But then i realized that i have destroyed the Late War Sensor fix.
Can anybody give me a D/L link to get that fix seperately?

Thanks for this great mod GWX team. I would have gotten board with SH3 If it was not for this mod. There were not as many historical events, There were no supply ships to help us accrost the atlanic, Lots of historical inaccurices, ect ect ect before GWX.
