GWX (Grey Wolves eXpansion Mod)

[frau kaleun]

Not all of the optional GWX mods are designed to be used together.

IIRC, Black Sea, Indian Ocean, and Merged Campaign will change your campaign files to limit or increase random/scripted traffic to a smaller or larger geographical area.

Indian Ocean, for instance, limits traffic to the Indian Ocean theater of operations and is meant for those who want to play in that geographical area and don't want the additional strain on their system of loading campaign traffic and locations for the rest of the SH3 world.

Merged Campaign, in contrast, loads all traffic for the entire playing world and will likely result in longer loading times and higher demands on your system. It's designed for people whose rigs can handle those demands and want to sail anywhere and everywhere and still see shipping and activity wherever they go.

If you load more than one mod that changes your campaign files, the files for the *last* mod loaded will be the ones that the game uses. So if you load Merged Campaign to see traffic and activity everywhere you could possibly go, but then load Indian Ocean after it, the game will use the Indian Ocean files and limit traffic to that location. The rest of the world will be empty because the Merged Campaign files that would have filled it were overwritten.

IIRC the English Nav changes the navigation map names and grid references from German to English spelling. If you want to keep the German spelling, do not enable the English Nav Map and Grid Refs mod.

frau kaleun is correct about the different campaign files overwriting each other. Most computers will handle the Merged Campaign file, it just takes longer to load, and many thought their computer had frozen up it took so long. That is the reason behind having campaign files for specific areas like the Black Sea, Indian Ocean. If you are only going to be sailing in one of those areas, why load the rest of the worlds traffic. Doing this cuts down the load times alot. Personally, I ran the merged campiagn. I would start the loading process, and go grab something to drink and a snack, and when I would get back, it would be about loaded up.

There is an GWM Multiplayer Mod Video on Youtube for GWX.
It shows a playable Plain, Blom & Voss 138!

But there is no info about this mod or a link.
I've searched hours in the internet included the 17.flottille, without result!

We will start a new online campain at the 1. september, and it would be great,
if anybody can help with that...

Special thanks...

So the mod no longer is downloadable on Grey Wolf's homepage. You click the download link and it takes you to another site which doesn't have a download link...

It appears that gamefront has wipe out the files hosted by Jim and Lehmann.

The following message can be read : "You have not uploaded any files!"

Anyone else get an alternative link?

Thanks for the heads up...this is the second time I have experienced this so won't be using said file storage site again!!

I'll commence uploading them to media fire and change my sig accordingly.

It turns out that all of my files hosted on gamefront too. I haven't received any mail in my box saying files will be deleted if I don't confirm.

Yeah, I've checked out a few peoples accounts who frequent here and they have all been wiped out

Uploading on all the files is at 18% now but the single file exe install (1.38GB) is too large so the torrent to that will have to suffice.

New GWX3.0/Gold link above my sig

It seems as though media fire no longer works either, the link just takes you to the homepage of the site, even after making an account I couldn't find the files. Any help?

[richardphat]

You have to somehow refresh your login as it will ask you to register. Then once login there will be a windows appearing and asking you to upload files.

You just have to close it and see all the installation files and even torrent.

Wunderbar! thanks a lot, looking forward to this

SINK EM ALL!!

They deleted most of my files about 18 months ago. I've been using MediaFire ever since, but the safest place is Onkel Neal's own downloads section.

I've always stayed clear of Neals server because of the bandwidth cost regarding the larger files but after discussing with Sailor Steve on Skype yesterday it may now be best to upload them via FTP.

I'll ask Neal next time we speak and hopefully the community will end up with a reliable source...in the meantime they are now available via MediaFire (link above my sig).
